He tends to keep his hair neat and neck length wearing the tell tale shinobi headband in the traditional style around his for head, though his is black as opposed to blue and the ties themselves are about a foot in length.
His style of dress is some what conservative. He wears light leather armor with thin metal plating underneath as a chest guard and black inaba. He is rarely seen with out the metal cestus he wears as gauntlets over fingerless black gloves. For shoes he wears a black closed toe variant of the standard issue shinobi footwear with knee high metal greaves. Always sheathed horizontally on his lower back is the thick, single bladed short sword of his prized weapon Ryuu no o (Tail of the Dragon) with the long chain wrapped diagonally around his torso as a makeshift baldric, with the wickedly curved dagger at the end of the chain hooking it in place. Over it all he wears a long dark blue hooded trench coat with large sleeves and various internal pockets contain his custom engraved kunai, made of the same metal as Ryu no o and other chakra blades, along it’s pitch black lining.

Dislikes: Unnecessary violence, inappropriate flatulence , bullies
Hobbies: Writing (short poems ),metal engraving, trying to come up with new techniques
Fears: Ryumon has always been apprehensive about the prospect of taking a life but does not have an overt fear of it. He does however greatly fear killing for the wrong reason such as anger, revenge, jealousy, or other petty reasons and thus also has a fear of his own negative emotions. He worries if anyone were to see those things in him they would think him a monster. Outside of the completion of a mission he will generally only kill if it is required for his or a comrades survival.

This still haunts him and the emotional strain of the guilt is slowly driving him mad.
Nindo: Ryumon has come to understand something about weapons: They have the power to kill but through the deaths of the wicked they have the power to protect the innocent and defenseless. His Nindo is that of the protector he will be both sword and shield for his village and his clan even if it means his life…..or the life of anyone who would threaten his home.
Extra: Though appearing cold and a loner he is actually very friendly. He was raised to be respectful to his sempai, elders, sensei, and most of all ladies. He is first and foremost a gentleman but is often more closed off about his emotions around women and girls in fear of judgement. He also has a particular philosophy regarding being a shinobi, that at any time evn at rest a shinobi should be armed and prepared for battle, as such his Cestus have hidden blades in the unside of the fore arm as well as retractable(through his kekkei genkai) 8ft chains along the length of his arms.

Life's Story:
Rymon was born to Midoriko and Daiguren Tensa in the Tensa Compound just outside of Sunagakure. His mother while loving and nuturing was also rather strict with his upbringing and wanting Ryumon to take on a job as a metal artisan like her, as they were respected among the Tensa for their craftsmanship and made good money from commissioned pieces. His father Daiguren was a Tensa Master Blacksmith and Weapon master. While not the most famous he was good at his job took pride in his work he encouraged Ryumon to do his best at whatever he did regardless of the reason be it for work or play. While Ryumon took a healthy interest in engraving as a hobby he found himself fascinated by the world of the Shinobi after a visit with his grandfather, a seasoned Sunagakure shinobi, at the age of 5 during which he witnessed him slay a jealous and enraged enemy to protect him. His grandfather, Gozaemon, told him later

“He may strike you 1000 times, but the blade of a sword swung in anger, hate, or malice will always be dulled by the lack of a will strong enough to control such emotions. Know that the way of the shinobi should be one of love for ones family and home as well as one of mercy for those wise enough to seek it in ernest. Know too that the way of the shinobi is terribly harsh.”

Soon after this fateful event he was, to his mother’s chagrin and his elation, enrolled in the ninja academy. He threw himself into his studies and while not at the top of his class he preformed well in most subjects and about average in genjutsu. Upon graduating his father made, and continues to make, all of Ryumon’s weaponry and though disapproving his mother engraves them all with her son’s favorite mythical beast….the dragon.


ROLEPLAY SAMPLE
He sat atop a cliff over looking the compound that was his home and thought…simply thought. He remembered the words of his grand father often. They came to him frequently, like a whisper on the desert winds……
…The way of a shinobi should be one of love for ones family and home, as well as one of mercy …
Doubt raced through him…..Will I know when to take a life? ...Will it be for the right reason? …Is there a right reason?! …
And this too came to him like a whisper on the desert winds …
...Know also that the way of the shinobi is terribly harsh…
He now understood. Shinobi existed to make those tough decisions so fewer people would have to. Shinobi were meant to kill for the right reasons so their loved ones didn’t die for the wrong ones. A shinobi was both a sword against the enemy and a shield for his people. He would be that shield no matter who had to fall on his sword.

Life's Story:
Mitchigami was born on a farm, but aspired to be a ninja from an early age. His mother respected this, and allowed him to go to school. Try as he might, however, Mitchigami couldn't control his chakra, and had very little of it. He was always training, trying his hardest to make even the simplest of clones. Every attempt ended in failure. Mitchigami did excel in hand-to-hand combat, however. His speed, strength, and agility began to surpass his classmates, and he began to focus on that alone. Soon, Mitchigami grew even stronger, faster, smarter..until he overcame his weaknesses and backed them up with brute force alone. Though he was held back twice, Mitchigami finally graduated to be a full-fledged genin. Though it is a low rank, he takes pride in being called "ninja."

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE
Mitchigami's eyes darted from left to right. His legs were spread apart, about shoulder's length. His arms were up, his left tucked into his side, clenched into a fist, and his right up a bit, held out in front of his face, unclenched. Mitchigami caught a bit of movement off to his left, and his body immediately turned.

Mitchigami made an 'X' with his arms in front of his chest. His mother's broomstick hit just after he made the movement, and Mitch gave a sigh. "Come on, Mom..You can do better than that!" He stood up straight, swinging his arms down. The broomstick fell to the floor with a clatter.

Mitchigami's mother approached her son, ready to scold him. "I'm doing good for just a normal person, so don't give me any lip!" She swatted her son's hair. "My, my, look at how handsome you've gotten.." She began absently fixing up Mitchigami's clothes, to his protest, of course.
