Ferrum Bovem

Ferrum Bovem is the Fourth Tsuchikage of Iwagakure. Optimistic and kind, he is the sort of leader that will put the needs of his village first. He is determined to see things through, and achieving whatever he must for himself and his village. Larger than most, he is an imposing figure, but doesn't let that stop him from showing affection openly.

Background
Born to a man and a woman… Naturally, Ferrum wasn’t anyone special. He grew up with a pretty normal life as a ninja. His mother loved him and his father was always around when not on a mission. He was the oldest of three kids, and like most older brothers, he took the responsibility as pillar of the family. He was always helping around the house, working out with his father, helping on the family farm and with the cattle.

While growing up, he took a liking to bulls. How stubborn they could be, full of hot steam and charging head first at everyone and everything in their way. He took that way of being for himself and let no one and nothing stand in his way to become stronger. While working through the ranks and constantly striving to be the best version of himself, he never stopped moving forward and never really knew how people viewed him. He earned himself the nickname “Iron Bull” he always had a knack of breaking things with his head and that wasn’t something he was doing on purpose. He was tall and extremely large, he was hard to miss and he wasn’t always the most focused person in the world.

Eventually once he became a Jonin at age twenty two, he met his wife and like every loving story, came a family of his own. They lived on the family farm with his parents until the eventually passed of old age luckily. He took over the farm with his wife and kids and continued to train. Making a pact with Bulls to allow him to summon them to his aid whenever he needed help. Ferrum continued his work and kept making a name for himself and for the village of Iwagakure.

Personality
Ferrum is a pretty average man. The only thing that stands out about him would be his size. He does get easily excitable, that is outside of a mission. During a mission, Ferrum is incredibly serious, he takes all business seriously and knows when it’s time to joke around and when it’s time to be an adult. For the most part he has a very childlike personality and sees the world with optimism, but he is still a realist. Nothing is out of his reach, nothing can be accomplished from standing still, and nothing will stop him from achieving whatever he sets his sights on.

Ferrum is a very loving and affectionate man. He has no problem telling someone how he feels and has zero problems with public displays of affection. He will sacrifice himself without a thought if it’s for the greater good, but his number one goal in life is to protect those that need it and make it back home to his family. When it comes to intellect, he’s not dumb, but he isn’t very booksmart. He’s very wise in the ways of the world, but just don’t ask him to spell or do math, not his strong suit. Sometimes it’ll take him a bit to grasp the whole picture, not all the time, but sometimes his attention drifts and his mind wanders.
