Keiji Kono

Background
Keiji doesn’t know much about his clan as he lost most of his memories when he was but a young boy. He was stolen from his home at the ripe old age of Four and during that incident, he suffered a head injury that caused amnesia and sadly forced him to forget all about his biological family. From that point forward his life was straight out of a horror film. The family that took him where secretly practitioners of a practice known as training through blood, later known as the trials of the blood mist, and forced him and his foster siblings to compete to death for the little things such as food, a bed and a blanket to sleep with or in, affection and even just their lives. They were trained daily by the father who seemed to enjoy the sadistic beatings that he unhinged at the young children and at night their mother taught them how to seduce the opposite sex as that could be used in missions as well. They were being trained to become the perfect assassins for the hidden mist, though the methods could be seen more as abuse than anything else. They worked. By the time Keiji was Seven years old he managed to get proficient enough at killing that he was able to kill off everyone in the household including his foster mother and father and make his way into the cold night. Little did he know that doing that was similar to having a letter of recommendation in the mist village and once he got there, to the land where he figured he’d be safe, they took him in and used his talents to their fullest where he eventually earned the title of Viper of the hidden mist due to his proficiency with Nuibari, the needle. Eventually he was able to meet people who helped him feel more light hearted emotions and began to grow even more as a person through teaching new genin, though he was often the same age or younger than the people who he would end up teaching. It didn’t change the fact that by the time he was Fourteen he’d already been a full time member of the Anbu, a Jonin team leader, and was only growing in popularity.

Personality
Keiji is a rather lighthearted individual which is in great contrast to the hard and cold life he’s been forced to lead. He tries his best to be caring but at the same time the warrior in him understands that there is a time and place for emotion. He wants to make sure the world doesn’t have to suffer what he’s suffered but also knows that if he’s to lead shinobi into battle that there will be deaths, there will be consequences, he will lose friends. He suffers from more trauma than he probably should but he always puts other people before himself, mostly because his entire life he’d been trained that he didn’t matter. The only thing that did was the mission and his teammates.

Abilities
He do go kinda fast tho :flushed:
