Ryūza is a teenager of moderate stature, considered average in both height and weight for his age. Betrayed by his skinny appearance, the fighter does possess muscle definition from his training. Even though his muscles aren't apparent, Ryūza takes great pride in his biceps and refers to them as his 'guns.' He has fair skin and an unkempt mop of white hair that reaches to about the middle of his neck and just over a pair of slender, cat-like brown eyes that are sure to be brimming with curiosity, mischief, or intensity. Ryūza face is rather wide with a sharp jawline and pointed chin and tends to be expressing the extreme of whatever emotion the youth is feeling.
Despite being a loud and flashy individual,Ryūza choice of attire is relatively simple. The most distinguishable part of his clothing is the hood he stitched on to his current attire which was the hood of his dad. The rest of his attire is symbolic of his warrior heritage. A black vest being the only cloth to cover his torso, the bulk of his chest is exposed revealing a toned physique. His pant legs are tucked nicely into his sandals, generating a billowing effect at his ankles while his arms are protected beneath steel forearm guards. A black sash usually spending a blade is always present while a thick wrap rests around his forehead as a headband. Sunagakure’s insignia is embroidered along such a headband in the form of a hitai-ate. Lastly, draped loosely, though affectionately around his neck, Ryūza dons a sallow white scarf—its importance being only known to himself.
No distinguishing features are present; his body is lean and toned and while he has no tattoos, his chest and back are pledged by scars of battle. Some healed to perfection then others, his strong chest and chiseled abdomens are riddled with tales from his previous battles.

At first blush, Ryūza seems to be far different from other shinobi, being laid back where others may be serious, disrespectful where others tend toward polite aloofness, and disorganized where others are methodical; to a point, this is correct. Ryūza is, at the surface, irreverent and outspoken with a mercurial temperament—both easily entertained and angered. He may act genuinely friendly at the right time; he may also attack even when unprovoked. He lacks any respect for authority—Manipulative ministrations have no effect on his headstrong, oblivious-to-the-opinions-of-others attitude. He speaks with enormous self-confidence, perhaps brought on by his consistent assertion of independence. The public face of Ryūza is one that is haughty, discordant; crude, and somewhat neurotic—yet at times genuinely fun to be around. The most common reason why he does what he does is merely…Why not? While he is a fighter and not a lover, he enjoys feeling good, and certainly flirts when it strikes his fancy. He can pick them up with the best of them when he wants to; flirting is just another kind of hunt to him. Hunting is something he excels in.
Finding battle, finding prey, avoiding boredom, and setting the stage for his goals are all the extrinsic motivation that could move him to action; Ryūza’s hedonistic tendencies to do whatever feels best account for many of his actions. He believes in himself almost to a fault, and is driven to prove his strength. He takes sadistic delight in defeating and humiliating opponents, and is mercilessly manipulative. He is keen to hone in on weakness, and quite capable of thinking on his feet.
Ryūza maintains only a bare minimum of a moral code: repay favors, avenge wrongs, and do not attempt to fix what is not broken. Ryūza isn’t very vengeful, holding grudges for as long as it takes to get revenge for them doesn’t appeal to his nature, not will he take on a grudge for something rather small—with the revenge being rather disproportional at times. The longer it takes him to avenge himself, the worse the beating will be when it comes, and he will never forget a wrong before it is set right. In his justice system, he is both sheriff and posse. He believes there is always a single someone to blame, and is a staunch opponent of group punishment, preferring to take failure out on either the responsible party or a scapegoat.
However, beneath the skin, Ryūza does answer to one true calling, one strong purpose: to single-handedly obliterate the music and entertainment scene. Yes, he wants to be a rapper, and feels he’s actually quite good at it. It’s his dream if this Shinobi business his brother put him up to doesn’t fall through.
Ryūza, beyond his arrogance and hauteur, considers one person his physical equal; Ken. Throughout the years, the two have been pitted against one another in combat and Ryu has gained a subtle appreciation for his kin. Their rivalry gradually turned into a competitive and complimentary partnership where their weaknesses are complimented by one another’s strengths. In reality, Ryūza only has true respect for two things: worthy opponents, and his elder brother, Kentaro.

Sunagakure had given birth to a monster…
A chilled November night ushered in the existence of a newborn boy. He was born in a great time of despair and desolation, conflicts were on the rise between Sunagakure and Kirigakure and it was a very dangerous place, the boy's air was as vibrant as a pink rose that waited patiently along the meadows of open flora; eyes sealed beneath shades of flesh not ready to be exposed to the world. Spirited and buoyant, the young child possessed a raw energy that couldn't be contained by any normal means. A chakra so strong it was almost volatile and physical energy that exceeded a normal baby’s capacity so evident, it couldn’t be contained. He was a lively one, and had purpose. On such a day, the mother of the pink-haired protagonist would properly name her second son, Ryūza.
Nonetheless, tragedy had struck the family, and due to unforeseen circumstances, the two boys were left in the care of a Foster Home. Their parents, killed in the line of duty. This happenstance occurring just after his birth, there is no real information to tell the tale of his life before, and since he was adopted months following, has only retained knowledge of his adoptive family. Luckily, the two prospective Shinobi weren’t separated and lived life together.
Their father was a lowly Koizumi clansman, devoid of any real talent or stature within the Hidden Stone; a man aged enough for Jōnin status, but lacking the talent of anything above a Chūnin. A mother, as kind as one could be but lacking any shinobi training, it seemed that Ryūza’s future would be quite uninspiring. Nonetheless, that wouldn’t be the case. A baby Salamander relied on his parents to help him gain strength in his wings so he could fly. Once he left the nest, he would have to grow into a powerful Dragon and undertake feats on his own;Ryūza ’s situation was no different. They would help him extend his wings but he’d soar on his own.
Joining the academy upon a desperate father’s wishes, Ryūza had entered at 4, quite a youthful age for any prospecting shinobi. During his time, he adapted well, and took ahold of concepts normally considered difficult for even older individuals. During this time, his own unique kekkei-Tōta had manifested. His body, while young and naturally frail, possessed an uncanny residual heat. His affinity for the Fire element had manifested inadvertently, and with no control of the Katon, the sprouting of accidental evaporations surfaced; his Shakuton emerged.
Graduating the Academy a year before the average of most, Ryūza was punctually promoted to the title of Genin, along with his brother. Having joined the elder of the two’s team, Ryūza had developed, unknowingly, a subconscious competitiveness with his relative, Ken. It pained him to see his sibling advanced beyond him, and his ego had developed just as quickly as his skill with Katon; a bad and destructive combination.
Beyond the physical and verbal feuds Ryūza shared with his brother, every other Shinobi within his age range and older became his targets. Sparring daily with Shinobi who he surpassed, and coincidentally, outclassed him, the pink-haired Ninja gained the reputation as a Hothead and brat; some even suggested the only thing stronger than his flames was his ego.
Such rumors and seemingly realistic decrees did little to stunt his progression, however. In the boy’s mind, he would become the strongest user of Shakuton known to all Shinobi. Those who belittled him were but mere obstacles, meant to never be circumvented, but challenged hot-head first; a means to justify the end.
The efforts of his bodily exertion, nonetheless, didn’t go unwarranted. His strength and stamina increased far surpassed the instructors, as well as his Jōnin commander’s anticipation. Even his brother, who was once his superior in every way, slowly inched into his realm of strength before the two were considered equals within their village.
The ample missions he accepted, be it low-ranking janitorial stunts, to team-oriented infiltration and assassination exploits assigned to his cell, the young boy garnished quite the reputation around Sunagakure. Once known as a brat and quarrelsome flare, his seemingly unsurpassed potency with Katon, coupled with his age granted him the title of, Salamander—meant to soon ascend to the “Dragon.” He awaited the day that would happen wholeheartedly, as he didn’t bother changing the alias, it fit him well for now. | ooc info
