Sakamoto Rokuro

Rokuro Sakamoto

appearance

Rokuro's short, unkempt hair is dark brown in colour. He has blue eyes and a relatively boring face. He has a toned build and average body, standing at  just over six feet tall and weighing roughly two hundred and ten pounds. He does not have any permanent marks on his body in the way of scars or tattoos but he is considering getting one (a tattoo, not a scar). 

His everyday attire can vary from day to day but it is almost always casual. The only consistent exception to this is when he is working. He has a custom designed set of shinobi armour which was provided by one of the clans he trained with during the creation of the village. He sports his villages symbol on a necklace that can almost always be seen dangling around his neck. 

personality

The definition of his personality will differ depending on who it is you ask. One trait seems to be shared among everyone who knows him however; Lazy. More than just about anything, Rokuro hates work. That's not to say he won't do it if he deems it necessary but more often than not you'll find him blowing off his duties as a shinobi for Kaigangakure somewhere on the beach or in one of the many bars in the area. 

He doesn't have many strong personality traits and likes to go unnoticed. Despite this when he chooses to get involved in a conversation he can be quite sociable and with a little bit of liquor in his system he can be downright fun. Fortunately for anyone who likes this side of him he is regularly sipping on something stronger than water. This will definitely bring out the flirt in him though, so watch out.

There is one thing that he will go out of his way to do, and that's poke fun at people whom he finds to be too serious. This describes practically anyone that isn't as lazy as he is but his jabs are generally reserved for anyone who pesters him about his laziness.

history

Rokuro was born in the Land of Typhoons to a family that belonged to the middle class of the country. They lived in a small fishing village close to the coast and his parents made their living by helping to sell the catch to travellers and neighbouring villages. This often meant his father wasn't at home so he was left to be raised by his mother or to take care of himself, depending on what her mood was like. It wasn't that she didn't love him, but because they hadn't wanted children he was viewed to some extent as a burden.


His life remained like this for many years and he grew well into his early teens without any substantial change.  The only thing that was noteworthy was his discovery of his ability to wield chakra. This wasn't entirely surprising to anyone because both of his parents had the gift as well. What was unusual however was the degree to which he was able to control it. His parents hadn't been talented enough to make anything of themselves using the power and so when he displayed power well beyond theirs his father changed his outlook towards his son, hoping that one day he could use those powers to bring them wealth and prestige. 

Once daddy had this set in his mind he began to train his son and even paid for private instructors to visit their home. Most of their spare money was spent on these trainers and this plunged them into poverty. All his father could see though was the potential so he continued to push. Early on in the training Rokuro began to feel responsible for their diminished quality of life so he poured everything he had into becoming powerful enough to one day use these skills to earn back the money that was being spent on him. 

It wasn't until several years later that shinobi from the Land of Typhoons started to come together with the shared goal of uniting under a single banner. There was an open invitation to clans and wandering shinobi to join in this effort. The moment this news reached their home they packed up and set out to meet with the clans responsible for this project. Rokuro was forced to display his talents as a shinobi to gain them acceptance and it was after this test that everything in his life changed. 

Rokuro had performed well for the shinobi leaders and because his skills were above average he was immediately forced to train with the powerful clans in the area to further refine his skills. During this time he would be sent on missions whenever he had spare time and he was constantly pushed to his limit. Only once they actually began work on the village was he permitted a break. With a new hierarchical system in place he suddenly found himself no longer being made to train or take on missions. Because they had designed a society in which a person gained value by contributing, all he had to do was become worthless. 

In trying to make his son into a bottomless well of ryo and fame, Rokuro's father had done precisely the opposite and it infuriated him. Rokuro's new outlook on life immediately blew up in his face as his parents persisted to blame him for their financial problems. Between his own guilt and anger, Rokuro also blew up and this resulted in him moving away from his parents and living on his own. Rokuro now works only as often as he has to. He is satisfied only having what he needs to live.
