He's lean, his skin rather pale, yet a hint of tan from many hours in the sun. His eyes have a brown - almost golden hue to them. He's got birthmarks around his eyes His short spikey hair is in the same color as his mother's, a light, sandy brown, appearing darker in certain lights. His father is supposedly certain that he'll grow a red beard one day, Hotou rues the day. He's clad in earthly green, brown and gray colors, donning a leather strap with two holsters for his tantos over his green jacket. His forehead protector's attached to a bandanna that he pulls over his face to cover on occasion, often as an indication for himself to fight seriously or as a means to appear more intimidating or stealthy. [/color][/indent] [b]PERSONALITY & MOTIVATIONS[/b] [indent][color=gray]He carries a uncertainty around him, a uncertainty in his abilities and a uncertainty in his decisions. He's afraid he'll make the wrong move, sometimes, so afraid he doesn't make any moves at all. He's working on becoming more confident, on daring to do things and to put his foot forward, but for now, he's a rather reserved individual. Speaking when spoken too, but afraid of eye contact, not one to speak his mind or to comment about others. He's burdened heavily by the legacy of both his parents, and it's shown to weigh him down, sometimes he wishes he had just been born to ordinary people, and not the heroes both of his parents are. He's really uncomfortable about talking about either his clan or his father and prefers to do neither. The one thing that does give him confidence and makes him feel calm and self-assured is in the forest. He's got a natural connection to the peace within the forests that years ago were filled with war. He dreams of becoming all people expect him to be, to be as brave and strong as his father, but as loving and as honorable as his mother. To overcome his fears and tap into all the potential he's sure he has, somewhere.[/color][/indent] [b]CLAN HISTORY[/b] [indent][color=gray]Senju Clan - One of the Founding Clans of the Hidden Village of the Leaf. His mother, Mitsuko, comes from the Branch clan, and he is as such not in line to ever inherent the leadership of the clan.. Eiichiro Clan; A clan of rather mediocre shinobi, one who joined the Hidden Leaf some 60 years ago. His father, Kishimoto, one of the greatest heroes of the last war, is the exception to this rule. His father's strength, brilliance and bravery in combat's made him a world famous hero. Due to his heroics during the assault on Konoha, and his impressive military career, it's speculated that Kishimoto was considered as the next Hokage, following the end of the war, but was forgone because of his injuries. Kishimoto is the head of the clan, and one day, Hotou will lead it. [/color][/indent] [b]PERSONAL HISTORY[/b] [indent][color=gray] Hotou's life is in many ways average, somewhat dull. His parents were never martyrs, he had no great tragedy, the greatest tragedy he's ever had was when his housecat ran away for four weeks. Everything's been nice and relaxed for him, ever since he was a child parents have shown him respect, referring to him with honorifics and being incredibly nice to him, all because of the accomplishments of his parents, and the circumstances around his birth. The Hidden Leaf watched him from a very young age, and the Village Elders, especially Senju Yaguruma were pushing for him to begin his shinobi training as soon as possible, as the child of Kishimoto and Mitsuko, Hotuo's is expected to become amongst Konoha's elite and surpass both of his parents. As such, he's had many instructors, teachers and masters, both inside and out of the academy, not having a lot of free time. His 'isolation' has lead to him not having a lot of friends, that, and the uncertainties that follow the burden that's laid upon him to become someone incredible. He never had the guts to try and make friends in the Academy, keeping mostly to himself - afraid that if he showed people what he could do, or rather, what he couldn't do, as far as being a shinobi went, they'd be disappointed in him and reject him. When he was 10, the elders decided it was time for him to take the graduation test in the academy - a test he failed, it becoming evident that he's not what the village had hoped for him. He's no natural talent, no elite member of the Hidden Leaf. His training would slow down, him only partaking in the regular ciriculum of the Academy once he reached his preteen years, with his father and mother's encouragement, he too has finally managed to pass the academy exam. [/color][/indent] [b]INFLUENCE & RELATIONS[/b] [indent][color=gray]Mitsuko's a brilliant Mokuton User, and his teacher in the art, she's a well respected shinobi, both in the clan and outside of it, and because of the influence and power of the Senju clan, her and Kishimoto's son carries her name. His father's valiant actions and reputation has earned Hotou a lot of undeserved respect that he hates. He's not one who has many friends, preferring to keep to his own, unsure - and too afraid to find out what others think of him.
