Character Depth
Personality:
Koichi finds himself identifying as a male the majority of the time and prefers it, though he has no problem playing the part of a female. The boy's identity besides the basics are all vague and fleeting. At one point, he may pick up a hobby and pursue it for days and weeks, before he will drop it and then become distracted by another. This holds true for his feelings in general; they are strictly unreliable and can be considered temporary. The only motive that is constant is his want to belong; to be accepted by a group, or even a single person. The only stable relationship in his life currently would be with his bestial canine companion. He finds comfort in the animal he has had since a young age, and believes him to return the feeling. In some ways, the Kedoin compares himself to the animal. They both curious beings, blatantly lacking the refinement of society, and rely on instinct to make the next move.
Being of such a peculiar bloodline as the Kedoin, Koichi embodies a wild and curious child, stemming from having been raised by parents that held similar traits and were just as much aimless children as he is. His parents only gave the information necessary to make himself unremarkable and passably human. Simple-minded must be a phrase mentioned when describing Koichi. He lacks the complex upbringing of normal humans, and so everything is a hit-or-miss with him. Concepts such as true love and unfaltering dedication to a person, place or belief is completely undiscovered for the young Kedoin.
Koichi obtains a sense of wonder from simple things, spanning from making a person smile to making them squirm from discomfort. He understands pain,and is able to reason that normal people, unlike the Kedoin, take it devastatingly worse because their bodies can not re-morph themselves, but Koichi only sees this as an advantage. Watching the simple reaction of pain gives the Kedoin amusement, like a sort of experiment being witnessed. Despite this, Koichi reacts just as enthusiastically to making other happy. This is due to him longing for a sense of belonging. Contradictions such as this find themselves at home with the Kedoin.
The Kedoin is not very vocal. If he has a problem with something, he will not necessarily speak out against it or choose to voice his true opinions. In the most likely circumstance, he will react physically and violently, throwing a tantrum similar to a child. If he is aware this behavior is unacceptable at the time of the situation, he will bottle it in and release it at a later point. Koichi can manage to be quite deceptive when he feels a drive to be. When trying to succeed in a mission or for a personal motive, he will undertake the personas necessary and use what he has learned observing others to act as someone he isn't. Even in simple social scenarios, if he feels interest in a person, he will attempt to become a persona they would want him to be.
He is welcome to challenge, and accepts them if he believes he is capable, and will try to his utmost ability to succeed. He believes himself to be superior over others when it comes to natural ability, so he would often overestimate his capabilities. He will sometimes make a contest of things in order to impress others in order to gain their respect or affection. In these types of scenarios, completing the goal will be given greater importance than any other factor.
Appearance:
The default of this Kedoin would be a short, young adult with an athletic build, basing his look on an ordinary Inuzuka clan member. His hair is a ruffled and unkempt brown at medium-length that is held up with the assistance of his village headband. His face is purposely formed to be symmetrical and appealing to look at. He has a long face, ending with a jagged and clear-cut, defined jawline. His nose is thin and sharp. His eyes are made slightly bigger than normal, and his eye color is a mesmerizing, and almost perfect shade of dark cyan. His lips are thin and well-spaced from his nose and chin. His teeth are a pearly white, and seem to be the work of refined dentistry.
The man's facial hair consists of a coat of stubble; it is made to look like he shaves the cheeks and the neck to keep it presentable. The rest of his body is hairless, as he dislikes the friction and doesn't expect to be seen naked. His skin is consistently tan: the exact same complexion on every part of his body, apart from normal human characteristics like the palms being lighter, the underside of the foot, etc. Several scars can be found in what he considers to be common areas: assorted on his hands and fingers, his left elbow, and his left shoulder.
His body is specifically designed to be optimal for Inuzuka techniques. His shoulders are muscular, but they are not stocky, instead they are muscled enough to provide a balance of strength and mobility. A V-taper is held on his torso, but his waist is only slightly smaller; it is still toned and stabilized by a strong core. He controls his body fat so it's kept to a minimum, allowing his weight to be minimal while retaining muscle mass. Due to this, his muscles are clearly defined and he holds an attractive and optimal physique that others could only manage for a short amount of time. His legs are a medium length and proportional to his upper body.
His hands are larger than average, and his finger tips are long and pointy. His nails are grown out, and are healthy and strong. They are chipped into a point, allowing the Inuzuka to use them as capable claws. His knuckles are prominent and jut out to allow for easier contact when punching. His elbow is similarly elongated and pointed for the same reason.
The clothing he chooses to adorn is a thick and roomy, furry, cotton black cloak with a hood attached. The outside layer seems powdered with a grayish color. The inside of the cloak is lined with dark animal fur, making it warm and soft. Underneath the cloak is a cotton jacket, similarly designed to be cold-resistant. It is a dull gray with conjoined, zip-up pockets in the front. The jacket also has a hood attached. Underneath the jacket is a thick, black cotton T-shirt. His pants are a flexible denim, lined with a thin layer of wool on the inside. His footwear are rugged leather boots, lined on the inside with wool.
Background:
Born to two Kedoin, the child known as Koichi had a strange upbringing. The two parents were Inuzuka clan members, barely fitting into the pack in the Village of Grass. They should have known that their offspring would struggle just as they did, if not greater. His parents, with what limited knowledge of the world and even themselves they had, were unable to teach the boy the fundamentals of human interaction. They assigned him a name, a background in the Inuzuka clan, and decided on his appearance. As parents, they had no affection and did not show him love in its most emotional meaning, but only tried to give him the ability to achieve what they couldn't, a sense of belonging.
Their parents were not popular in the Village or the Inuzuka clan. They were simply there, meaning they had little interaction with anyone past their duty as ninja. Despite being with the Inuzuka clan for many years, the Kedoin family was not appreciated at Inuzuka pack gatherings. They were invited, and tolerated, but were not actively liked or approached. His parents could not bare the emptiness from the lack of acceptance. His father eventually left the clan compound, never to be seen again. Such is not unusual for a Kedoin; their search for individuality is endless and they are destined to venture in pursuit.
Koichi, as an adolescent, shaped his appearance and personality to what he observed from his peers and his superiors. He was very impressionable for day-to-day behavior, but kept his curious and experimental attitude. When he was involved in games with the other Inuzuka youths, he was often singled out as unusual. The instinctual Inuzuka saw the slight quirks in his behavior: pauses before speaking and acting, staring at them with his unfaltering eyes and with a curious, wide grin, and with this behavior.
The young Kedoin learned to accept rejection from society and its members early, but he chose to learn from it. He tweaked his appearance and behavior as necessary until he got the reactions he wanted from people he found interesting. Despite this, he never showed anyone his true self or opened up to anyone. Around the same age his peers started to enroll in the academy, he followed in their steps. While in the academy, he began to learn to use his chakra for the first time, for matters other than changing his bodily form. His chakra control was regarded as excellent for his experience, and for once, he felt like he was good at something. Other students would go to him for advice and ask how he was able to control his chakra with such extraordinary precision.
The Grass Village's academy exam of testing basic ninja jutsu was a breeze for the Kedoin, and his fierce loyalty for the village was feigned in order to receive the honorary headband. As a genin, the boy quickly realized that the more experienced genin and chunin were far past him. Unlike the academy, where he excelled, now he felt small and unimportant. This drove him to train hard and pursue learning from others into bettering himself.

Character Depth
Personality:
Koichi finds himself identifying as a male the majority of the time and prefers it, though he has no problem playing the part of a female. The boy's identity besides the basics are all vague and fleeting. At one point, he may pick up a hobby and pursue it for days and weeks, before he will drop it and then become distracted by another. This holds true for his feelings in general; they are strictly unreliable and can be considered temporary. The only motive that is constant is his want to belong; to be accepted by a group, or even a single person. The only stable relationship in his life currently would be with his bestial canine companion. He finds comfort in the animal he has had since a young age, and believes him to return the feeling. In some ways, the Kedoin compares himself to the animal. They both curious beings, blatantly lacking the refinement of society, and rely on instinct to make the next move.
Being of such a peculiar bloodline as the Kedoin, Koichi embodies a wild and curious child, stemming from having been raised by parents that held similar traits and were just as much aimless children as he is. His parents only gave the information necessary to make himself unremarkable and passably human. Simple-minded must be a phrase mentioned when describing Koichi. He lacks the complex upbringing of normal humans, and so everything is a hit-or-miss with him. Concepts such as true love and unfaltering dedication to a person, place or belief is completely undiscovered for the young Kedoin.
Koichi obtains a sense of wonder from simple things, spanning from making a person smile to making them squirm from discomfort. He understands pain,and is able to reason that normal people, unlike the Kedoin, take it devastatingly worse because their bodies can not re-morph themselves, but Koichi only sees this as an advantage. Watching the simple reaction of pain gives the Kedoin amusement, like a sort of experiment being witnessed. Despite this, Koichi reacts just as enthusiastically to making other happy. This is due to him longing for a sense of belonging. Contradictions such as this find themselves at home with the Kedoin.
The Kedoin is not very vocal. If he has a problem with something, he will not necessarily speak out against it or choose to voice his true opinions. In the most likely circumstance, he will react physically and violently, throwing a tantrum similar to a child. If he is aware this behavior is unacceptable at the time of the situation, he will bottle it in and release it at a later point. Koichi can manage to be quite deceptive when he feels a drive to be. When trying to succeed in a mission or for a personal motive, he will undertake the personas necessary and use what he has learned observing others to act as someone he isn't. Even in simple social scenarios, if he feels interest in a person, he will attempt to become a persona they would want him to be.
He is welcome to challenge, and accepts them if he believes he is capable, and will try to his utmost ability to succeed. He believes himself to be superior over others when it comes to natural ability, so he would often overestimate his capabilities. He will sometimes make a contest of things in order to impress others in order to gain their respect or affection. In these types of scenarios, completing the goal will be given greater importance than any other factor.
Appearance:
The default of this Kedoin would be a short, young adult with an athletic build, basing his look on an ordinary Inuzuka clan member. His hair is a ruffled and unkempt brown at medium-length that is held up with the assistance of his village headband. His face is purposely formed to be symmetrical and appealing to look at. He has a long face, ending with a jagged and clear-cut, defined jawline. His nose is thin and sharp. His eyes are made slightly bigger than normal, and his eye color is a mesmerizing, and almost perfect shade of dark cyan. His lips are thin and well-spaced from his nose and chin. His teeth are a pearly white, and seem to be the work of refined dentistry.
The man's facial hair consists of a coat of stubble; it is made to look like he shaves the cheeks and the neck to keep it presentable. The rest of his body is hairless, as he dislikes the friction and doesn't expect to be seen naked. His skin is consistently tan: the exact same complexion on every part of his body, apart from normal human characteristics like the palms being lighter, the underside of the foot, etc. Several scars can be found in what he considers to be common areas: assorted on his hands and fingers, his left elbow, and his left shoulder.
His body is specifically designed to be optimal for Inuzuka techniques. His shoulders are muscular, but they are not stocky, instead they are muscled enough to provide a balance of strength and mobility. A V-taper is held on his torso, but his waist is only slightly smaller; it is still toned and stabilized by a strong core. He controls his body fat so it's kept to a minimum, allowing his weight to be minimal while retaining muscle mass. Due to this, his muscles are clearly defined and he holds an attractive and optimal physique that others could only manage for a short amount of time. His legs are a medium length and proportional to his upper body.
His hands are larger than average, and his finger tips are long and pointy. His nails are grown out, and are healthy and strong. They are chipped into a point, allowing the Inuzuka to use them as capable claws. His knuckles are prominent and jut out to allow for easier contact when punching. His elbow is similarly elongated and pointed for the same reason.
The clothing he chooses to adorn is a thick and roomy, furry, cotton black cloak with a hood attached. The outside layer seems powdered with a grayish color. The inside of the cloak is lined with dark animal fur, making it warm and soft. Underneath the cloak is a cotton jacket, similarly designed to be cold-resistant. It is a dull gray with conjoined, zip-up pockets in the front. The jacket also has a hood attached. Underneath the jacket is a thick, black cotton T-shirt. His pants are a flexible denim, lined with a thin layer of wool on the inside. His footwear are rugged leather boots, lined on the inside with wool.
Background:
Born to two Kedoin, the child known as Koichi had a strange upbringing. The two parents were Inuzuka clan members, barely fitting into the pack in the Village of Grass. They should have known that their offspring would struggle just as they did, if not greater. His parents, with what limited knowledge of the world and even themselves they had, were unable to teach the boy the fundamentals of human interaction. They assigned him a name, a background in the Inuzuka clan, and decided on his appearance. As parents, they had no affection and did not show him love in its most emotional meaning, but only tried to give him the ability to achieve what they couldn't, a sense of belonging.
Their parents were not popular in the Village or the Inuzuka clan. They were simply there, meaning they had little interaction with anyone past their duty as ninja. Despite being with the Inuzuka clan for many years, the Kedoin family was not appreciated at Inuzuka pack gatherings. They were invited, and tolerated, but were not actively liked or approached. His parents could not bare the emptiness from the lack of acceptance. His father eventually left the clan compound, never to be seen again. Such is not unusual for a Kedoin; their search for individuality is endless and they are destined to venture in pursuit.
Koichi, as an adolescent, shaped his appearance and personality to what he observed from his peers and his superiors. He was very impressionable for day-to-day behavior, but kept his curious and experimental attitude. When he was involved in games with the other Inuzuka youths, he was often singled out as unusual. The instinctual Inuzuka saw the slight quirks in his behavior: pauses before speaking and acting, staring at them with his unfaltering eyes and with a curious, wide grin, and with this behavior.
The young Kedoin learned to accept rejection from society and its members early, but he chose to learn from it. He tweaked his appearance and behavior as necessary until he got the reactions he wanted from people he found interesting. Despite this, he never showed anyone his true self or opened up to anyone. Around the same age his peers started to enroll in the academy, he followed in their steps. While in the academy, he began to learn to use his chakra for the first time, for matters other than changing his bodily form. His chakra control was regarded as excellent for his experience, and for once, he felt like he was good at something. Other students would go to him for advice and ask how he was able to control his chakra with such extraordinary precision.
The Grass Village's academy exam of testing basic ninja jutsu was a breeze for the Kedoin, and his fierce loyalty for the village was feigned in order to receive the honorary headband. As a genin, the boy quickly realized that the more experienced genin and chunin were far past him. Unlike the academy, where he excelled, now he felt small and unimportant. This drove him to train hard and pursue learning from others into bettering himself.
