Liander [Finished]

Name: Liander
Nickname: N/A
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Height: 6'0
Weight: 150lbs
Appearance: At first glance, Liander is fairly typical for someone from the sunbaked beaches of the coastal regions; skin tanned from the harsh glare of the sun off the sandy beaches and blue waves. His only outstanding features are that his eyes are different colors; otherwise known as acquired heterochromia. When he was teen, he sustained a nasty head injury; as a result one of his silver eyes turned purple. While not as outright dark as some, he does have a fairly healthy; at least for the region; tan to his skin. Silver hair is nothing new to his family. His clothing is simple enough; beneath the typical layer cloaks and thick wool he wears the common shinobi undergarments; a thin linen tunic over his fishnet shirt and calf high pants tied off to keep sand from sneaking up his legs. His lower legs are wrapped in thick layers of bandages acting as both protection and support for his legs and ankles. Shoes are... optional, for him; for some reason he's never had a problem with his feet getting hot, and only bothers to wear them on missions. In those instances, he favors the common shinobi sandal-boots, with his toes wrapped for extra protection.
Village: Kirigakure
Character Rank: Genin
Clan: N/A
Element: N/A
Personality: Liander is a very, very quiet person. He rarely speaks, but when he does he does not mince words. He is the type the weigh his words and make sure that nothing is wasted, that way he is able to convey the maximum amount of information as quickly as possible. By extension, he is a very lonely type of person; as he is not very... sociable. It's not that he doesn't like people, he's just not great at making friends. Hisoka is the type to find a very, very small group of people and almost cling to them; being hyper protective and rarely leaving the comfort zone of their presence. His thin frame makes it easy to underestimate him; thinking that he is even weaker then he really is. He is thin, and not well suited to physical attacking, but he is not so weak that he cannot defend himself. He just prefers to let his jutsu do the talking. Hisoka is a closet animal lover; the type of child that would have snuck injured animals into his bedroom just to nurse them back to health. In a way, he envies the ninja clans that rely on animal partners, but he'd never admit to it. He just settles for interacting with small animals when he visits the local parks and stumbles across them in the desert.
Character History: Born in late summer, Liander has always been a bit on the large side; he was a heavy baby, and by the time he'd worked off his baby chub, he was growing like a weed. Eldest of four siblings, with two brothers and a sister all several years younger than him, he spent much of his childhood roaming the streets of the village with the other kids his age from school or that lived nearby to his family. A rambunctious boy; in the sense of being high energy, if quiet enough, he was still mostly well behaved, although he got in his fair share of fights. The vast majority where the kind that you got into to show off who was stronger or better at something, that little boy thinking that the strongest or best fighter was the default best at everything.

School was nothing special; he excelled at gym, lunch, and recess; less so at actual academics. It wasn't that he wasn't smart, he just had too much energy to sit and behave the way the teachers wanted. It didn't take long for his parents to realize that he wasn't going to do well in 'normal' schooling, so they enrolled him in the local ninja prep school for a semester, to see how he did there. Needless to say, he fit in pretty well. He gravitated toward the physical skill sets, the trainers and teachers seeing potential for a physical fighter in him. Acing the prep program, his parents sent him off to the local ninja academy, where he did the usual courses and training. The increased physical demands helped to drain his hyper-active energy, allowing him to focus on his academic classes finally, allowing him to show a bit of a talent for chakra skills and brainpower, on top of his physical prowess.

When he graduated, he was at the top of his class physically, and above average in most other subjects; leaving him in the top end overall. His first genin team was a pretty standard set up; his taijutsu power complemented by a ninjutsu user and a kid that, while good with genjutsu and able to round the team, had dreams of being a medic ninja eventually. They where lucky enough to get a sensei that was a solid jack of trades kind of ninja; with plenty of experience in almost every aspect and specialty of ninja life. In between running the usual errand and fetch mission in town, or the harder, but more rewarding escorts and such between villages, he spent his time in the training fields and gyms of the village, making his punches harder and his kicks more devastating.
