Character Depth
Personality:
- Ditsy - Ridi doesn't lack intelligence, but does however, lack focus and determination. The only think he's been determined to do in his life is to move at a faster speed. He'll often find himself losing track of what is going on. He continues to have his head up in the trees.
- Forgetful - Along with his head being up in the clouds all the time, Ridi's memory is lacking. He'll remember important facts, but small things throw him off ever since he hit his head. It seemed as if he knocked something loose in the accident.
- Upbeat - The young speedster's mind is always upbeat. Sometimes he'll feel lost in life, not knowing where he is from, or who he really is, but his upbeat mindset continues to push him through life. He knows that one day his memory will return to him.
- Flirty - The sensual curves of a women never fly by Ridi's eyes. Sometimes it's hard to concentrate when a beautiful woman is around him, and he flirts quite a lot with the women he finds.
- Talkative - Ridi may not be able to focus on something for a long period of time, but he what he lacks in concentration he makes up for in conversation. The young boy talks to as many people as he can, and always says the right thing. It's rare for people not to like Ridi, as he's very charasmatic and funny.
Appearance:
Ridi's hair is long, and a dark orange red color. It travels down to his neck almost all around his head. His right eye is covered by an eyepatch, which allows him to focus better with his left eye. Whilst in battles, he often will remove the eyepatch if he needs an extra touch in sight. Most of the time, the young boy keeps his hair up above his headband, which is usually adorned around his forehead. Both of the speedster's ears are pierced, and he wears small black hoops for earrings. His green eyes match the color of the trim of his coat, which zips up a little past his chin. Besides the green in his eyes and the trim of his jacket, everything else on his body except for the outer lining of his headband is black. The headband that wraps around his forehead and keeps his hair out of his face is the same sort of color as his eyes. Down to his feet, Ridi is covered in black cloths. The young man is a little taller than average, and is about the normal weight. Overall, Ridi looks like a simple and average teen.
History:
A young boy... an able boy... Much to be said of him, there is, but how little he knows himself some might find surprising. Born in Kumogakure was he, a child of two loving parents. Two happy parents. And a happy sister, who was three summers his senior. A picturesque family of four, or, at least as one might expect of a family comprised of Ninja. Akurai to be exact, was the name of the clan they spawned from, an ancient and proud lineage. But their lives were practical for those who stalked the night, who were as but shadows.
He grew into a young prodigy, a speed demon in essence, who could rarely be caught by even the most avid attempts of his parents. Though they say that every once and a while he wasn't quite fast enough to outrun his sister, the essence of speed herself. Although, as time passed, that changed. He had earned a nickname, "Speed", and some even said that he was made of go fast. As a seven year old, all he could think of was running faster, moving quicker, getting from A to B in the fastest possible way. It was his goal to become the fastest ninja in the village.
And a ninja he did become, a shifty one at that. No one excelled at taijutsu as he did within the academy, and though he was fine at molding chakra, he chose to simply devote his time to what he loved. The wind through his hair and the flat road in front of him, as he chased his dreams down the well traveled paths of those before him. Growing as a shinobi, and learning the ways of his clan, he became a young genin, bearing his headband proudly. Joining under a Jounin sensei, he was quick to adapt his style, and work taijutsu into his methodology. Soon he was a force to be reckoned with.
But...
Not all was well with the young genin one fateful day, as he was off in the Land of Grass with his teammates on a mission, his speed got him into some trouble. He dashed forward, just as excited to be out in the wild blue yonder as always, when he tripped over a rock, smacking face first into a tree. He fell unconscious there, and unfortunately for him, both his teammates and sensei could not find him. He awoke some several hours later, in a daze, not knowing where he was, what his name was, or what the strange contraptions on what he wanted to call his feet were. He was picked up the next day by a band of ninja from the Grass village as he meandered around the border, totally clueless as to what was going on.
As time passed, he began to recollect certain things about his life, of being a ninja. His love of speed came back to him. The villagers named him Ridi, for the characters on his shoes that remained after the wear he had inflicted on the rubber, and the fact that he remained so interested in them. The soles had once read Ridikalous, the name of a famous sandal making company, but none were aware of that at the time. As he became familiar with his ninja past somewhat, he learned to control his doujutsu, working with the power imbued within him, and eventually discovering his latent talents, despite his absence of memory of who his parents were and where he was from.
Since then he has become a powerful member of the Grass ninja community, but still manages to make mischief where he chooses, his ever running feet moving tirelessly as they lead him to new surroundings and better places.
