General Description:

The average kids attire, he doesn't look any kind of special.  In fact at first glance, most tend to judge him as a thug from the slums. He stands at five foot, ten inches and has brown hair that falls over his ears. His bangs often fall on his face two; but they usually don't hide his brown colored eyes. His average clothing consists of a matching colored shoes to his hoodie. He wears loose fitted black pants, underneath his black sweater is a dark gray T-shirt. The kid also weighs 147.8 pounds and has a decent athletic build for, what appears to be, a weak kid. He's been known to have a high amount of prescision and dexterity based on his build.
...Sometimes when he's not wearing his usual attire he's wearing a white V-neck T-shirt underneith a gray unbutton up jacket with fitted pockets. Black combat boots, and blue jean-like pants.
At his waist hangs a decorated sword that was passed down to him by his deceased master and fatherly figure. It's sheathe has a matching pattern and color to the hilt.
He has two earrings on his right ear, that are black and are made of a plastic-like material so not to be used against him in combat.


Personality:

Fearless, undaunted, and brave. Courageously resolute, especially in the face of danger or difficulty; not discouraged.
Ander has 'Heart' it's easily seen by elders and is often something that comes in handy in a risky situation. Because of his kindness and bravery, he's easily seen as a hero to the people in the slums. Although considerably dumb; he does get by with passing marks.
Unfortunately despite his upbeat and charismatic attitude, the boy doesn't have many friends. The one's he does have are known as street rats. In fact the swordsman himself is a street rat.
Do to promises he made to himself long ago, he does not fear death, punishment, embarrassment. He looks these things over and laughs because unlike most children. Ander Kaze has accepted that these are parts of life. He will not run away from living.
Pain has hit him in so many ways, that it hardly ever leaves scratches on his perspective anymore. One could say he has an immunity for weakness.
The only one who could 100% say that's untrue is himself. He struggles with inside doubts and feelings just like everyone else. However he does not let himself think these things unless needed. Hence why most will always see him with a smile.
He also motivates easily, once setting his sight on something he doesn't turn his head around to stop it. He creates the vision of being a true shinobi, in the eyes of people around him. A couple words to describe him would be:
Faithful, longing, heartwarming, misunderstood, and expendable. These are words he'd probably use to describe all humans. Since the kid often finds himself wandering these traits.
Capability is a big part about what the boy believes in. Though not capable himself, anyone can become or so he believes. To summarize the personality of the boy, he's a very strong believer in the spirit of people around him.

Likes:
Challenges: Ander loves a good challenge, whether it be a handicap, or a fair fight. He enjoys the rush of adrenaline inside his body. He knows that in order to be good at something you have to enjoy it, this causes him to rarely argue with a mission.
Underdogs:Watching the lower-leveled hero come back against an onslaught so great, he lives for that. Seeing somebody accomplish a goal that people said was impossible, that is success. He never strays to bet on the unlucky character. This is something he will always do. Even if the numbers are ten to one, he will never go against his code. That code is faith, so faith in the underdog is a given.
Legends: He loves to hear, and read about the amazing myths and history of the shinobi world. It is one of his favorite pass times. Because he loves these stories so much; one can usually go to him to get knowledge of past historic event in the ninja world.

Dislikes:
Cowardice: If you don't man up, and conquer your fears, then you aren't a real ninja. Ander hates to see people give up, it pisses him off on major levels. If you aren't capable and determined; you HAVE motivate yourself to be, no way can you just give up. you can't expect respect unless you can respect yourself. Without question, this is his most dislike of all.
Liars: Steal, cheat, do what you must to survive. But never lie about what you believe in. The boy despises those that say they are loyal and then betray their comrades. He will never respect a person who gets up and destroys another's reputation. If Lieing is a good talent, then you are a bad person.
Bullies: Anyone who has the nerve to pick on another, is as good as dead to Ander. No love for the weak? No love for you.

Motivations:
Support: With friends and allies by your side you can do anything! Ander believes one is motivated when they have the support. He often looks to his past to prove this. When Master Kaze supported him, he was more motivated than ever. He also was motivated when he, and his buddies were first starting the tournaments. Yes, support is his motivation...
Faith in capabilities: If you believe in yourself, then no one can pull you down. The heart is the strongest source of faith, if you can grasp that, then you are a splendid ninja. One can not accomplish anything, without first telling themselves they can.

Fears:
Breaking promises: To Ander this is the same thing as lying. He fears this because in his heart, he despises it more than just about anything. To break a promise is like tearing what you believe in... In half. He will never stump this low, or atleast he hopes. If he does then he's truly lost his beliefs all together. He fears this one thing, as if it were dying.
Failing comrades: Failing the ones who truly believe in you is Wrong. Ander can't stand this, it's his primary will to move forward. If he fails a comrade than he again is lying, because he has left the message that he can accomplish something in their heads. Breaking the message is like lying. He HATES this, it's easily one of the scariest things in his opinion. To fail those that you love, is like not loving them at all.

History:

Fifteen years ago, in the slums of Yokuchigakure, a boy was born to a young sixteen year old mother. The woman wasn't very healthy do to the horrible luck she had getting food. Because of her unhealthy body she died giving birth to the child.  The kid's father was never around, in fact, he was really just a pathetic excuse for a man. Getting young underage girls pregnant and stepping out on them was his specialty. So as the boy was born, a medical ninja took him and cared for him for the first few months of his life...

After the child learned to walk, he had no problem getting around. The woman's husband; however did not like the boy. He wasn't his kid, so why did he have to love it? At the age of one, they drove him to a corner and left him. Like a stray dog he walked around in the dangerous streets of the village's ghetto. Unlike most villages Yokuchi was exceptionally dangerous. Even in the olden days' it was rumored that without care, a child would die before they were five, if left in the slums...

Although what one might think was untrue, the boy lived! He would wobble around the allies and set in front of the warm barrels of fire with the Hobos, and sleep on thrown out mattresses. Getting food was hard, at first he relied on the homeless people to feed him. But after a couple died he knew he had to get food for himself. Ander tried several ways to get food, all failed. Asking, working, and even begging... The only way to get food was to steal.

The child became a master at pickpocketing. So good at it that he became was so fast, and fly that no one expected a seven year old to have such skill! But... It wasn't like he hadn't been caught once or twice. Luckily free-running and parkour were also specialized skills. Allowing him to escape most chases.

As time went on Ander came to the conclusion that he could do so much more for the poor. He went on to rob soldiers, merchants, and even a S-rank ninja without getting caught. He gave the money away to the homeless, and helped them the best he could. This got him a group of friends in the slums, they each had a nickname and Ander's was pickpocket. In all their was three boys and two girls, Bash, Pickpocket, Diva, Viz, and Pop.

The boy became very close with the group, and even got to be the prettiest girl's boyfriend. Pop, she was short but she had an elegant blonde hair and her blue eyes' shined like the ocean. She deserved better than the ghetto. That's when Bash came to the idea that they could enroll in an underground fighting tournament. The rewards were high, if they won enough then they could escape the slums for good!

The boy's began to train with each other, day and night. Viz was easily the most intelligent, but weak. He soon became the coach of Pickpocket and Bash. Diva didn't care either way, she just hung around. Basically she flirted with everyone, even Pop. So fighting wasn't her thing. Pop didn't like the idea of getting the money, since she was secretly happy with her life. As long as the group was around she was doing fine.

After several weeks of training the two boys were much stronger. Neither had went to a ninja academy, but Ander had stolen some scrolls and with the help of Viz they learned basic Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. Bash liked Ninjustu arts of sand, often creating hammers to bash people with. Pickpocket however... Liked Taijutsu.

When the boys showed up to enter, they were laughed at. The host did let them fight though. Their was a junior league for young teens. Being thirteen the two were just liable to get in. Bash beat the first two matches, but his semi-final enemy was so strong his K.O. Killed the kid. Ander was devastated... He now had something to fight for! He took out all his oppononts until he was face to face with the guy who murdered his best pal.

It was the final match, the money was 50,000 Ryo. The fight carried over for ten rounds. Until finally, Ander did a leg sweep and the eighteen year old opponent broke his ankle.

The prize wasn't worth it... The enemy actaully belonged to a gang that roamed the area. None had been to ninja academy, but not many people on this side of town did. Still the gang hunted down all of Ander's remaining buddies and murdered them.

For months he weeped with pain, the grieving went on for so long he wasn't even sure what month it was when his grief settled down. His money was stolen before he could even pay for their funeral...

Another underground fighting tournament was set-up soon after he go himself up and bean to get back to life. He knew he couldn't win without training but without bash and Viz... Nothing was even worth it. He entered unprepared.

Do to winning the junior leagues the host decided to give the kid a shot at the adult fighting. Remarkably the boy won the first match with no training, however he got destroyed the next round. An old man was watching this and almost immediately became intrigued by the kid's potential.

Finding him a couple days later- he asked about why the kid was fighting. "For closure sir..." was all the boy said. The man smiled and soon, was teaching Ander everything he knew. Starting with old styled Taijutsu techniques and building up. He taught the boy about Optimism, love, life, and the ability to become capable. He taught the boy how to become a true splendid ninja.

After learning a lot on Taijutsu, a new type of jutsu was taught to him. A technique that was rarer in these days, but just as good. He began to train the boy in Kenjutsu and the element of wind. He even gave the boy his first sword. When tournaments rolled around he was easily a top competitor at the age of fourteen. Unfortunately the same asshole who murdered his best friends showed up for the adult league. When the teen made short work of the thug, it wasn't long before history repeated itself. The day right before the Finals, Ander's master was killed in cold blood.

Because of the horrible events that happened, the boy never finished the tournament. Instead, in honor of his Master he took the man's last name and became Ander Kaze. He would never forgot the man's nice personality, still to this day the child remains optimistic, and carefree; just as his master did before him.

Months rolled by and finally, the old pickpocket was captured for stealing. He was taken to the Kazekage, instead of being thrown in prison or executed. Ander was forced to join the village as a shinobi.
It was fair enough and Ander agreed to it...

RP Sample:
It was a warm day in jump city; the sun was out, the birds chirped, and the people were walking along enjoying the nice weather.

Meanwhile, a young boy named Joseph would rush down the sidewalk. Two thugs were chasing him and unlike other teenagers in this city, he had no power. He couldn't fight these guys! They were huge he was just a kid: a kid with no power, talent, intellect, speed, ability, nothing. All he could do was run and hope to god somebody would save him.

As his feet slammed against the hard pavement, and the sweat dropped off his face. The young freshman felt the world slow down. Something had exploded inside of him. He stopped abruptly beside an ally. The thugs grabbed his arms and through him in.

"Thought you could be the hero and save that girl eh?" the man who speaking would slam his fist into the sorry kid's jaw. The fellow thug grabbed his arms and held him down as he began to be pounded and kicked. "Let me tell you something kid... Don't ever be a hero. That girl would never fall for a chump like you! She was easily a ten, in her eyes you wouldn't even be counted as a one. Got it punk!" another fist to the jaw landed. The boy couldn't take it- he wasn't powerful enough to defend himself. He wasn't like the heroes that appeared on TV in jump city. He wasn't a Teen Titan... Another hit and the boy was out cold.

He awoke to find the thugs beaten to a pulp and tied up. He looked around, just then the beautiful blonde from before came around the corner with a police officer. "they're the ones! Only god knows what could have happened if he didn't come!" Blinking twice Joseph scratched his neck confused. The girl ran over and kissed him instantly. He was awe stricken, like what the fuck had just happened?

Later that day he would pull off his shirt to shower only to find a huge pulsing mark on his chest. It didn't hurt, but the very energy that radiated from it was enough to scare the crap out of him! What the hell?!

The End.
