appearance
There have been many mysteries and rumors which had shrouded the young enigmatic man long before his appearance within the shinobi world, the few whom have had the chance of meeting him face to face are often found perplexed by his physical appearance; without a doubt expecting the boy known as Kiryuu to be much more menacing judging from the tales that they have heard. One of the numerous myths, was that he were some sort of monstrous behemoth that towered over everyone at ten feet; a rather extravagant rumor though that is not completely groundless. He is often considered by many to be a giant among men, standing at an absurd height of 6'7", roughly the length of two meters; that is, if he were standing up straight instead of slouching down as per the norm. He bears a larger-than-average body frame which generated numerous rumors, where people imagined that each and every step he took shook the very earth itself as he must weigh a ton. However, he does not even weigh near a ton, albeit he does carry around an enormous amount nonetheless; maxing out at about 194 pounds, in other words just about 84 kilograms. He holds an impressive physical build which derived from his past as a delinquent whom brawled daily whilst learning various martial arts; readying his transcendence as a taijutsu orientated shinobi.
Regardless of bearing an impressive physique, especially for one of his age, he refrains from flaunting his muscular build whenever in public; as his body is riddled with an abundance of scar tissue from his past reckless behavior of brawling. The sole scar which was not the result of a fight of epic proportions, cuts through across his torso; which was the inevitable result of a heart transplant. Due to cardiovascular issues emerging after the transplant, he is prone of receiving chest pains throughout the day which renders him helpless during such episodes; these heart episodes especially manifests whenever stressed. Nitroglycerin pills are taken daily in order to prevent the attacks from becoming serious enough to be hospitalized. Another effect from the arisen cardiovascular problems is dampened blood flow which grants the young man a seemingly permanent pale complexion, in addition to his feeble circulatory system, his body temperature is lowered to a significant effect which renders most whom touch his bare skin to exclaim how his skin feels as if it were made out of ice; of which he finds to be rather poetic due to his alleged cold-hearted nature.
Untamed by the brush, his short sanguine colored hair runs rampant atop and thus bolsters a wild style consisting of spikes protruding in an outward fashion; many find themselves in shock when having discovered that the red-hue is completely natural. Due to the nature of his past, his scowling-like facial expression appears much more worn than that of an average teenager; hence explaining the light creases found underneath his small, squinted, golden colored eyes of which gives him a permanent glare. With all of these characteristics, many are incapable of fathoming him to be as young as he is, and thus easily mistake him for an adult. As he is often branded as a ruffian due to either physical appearance, he had eventually caved to the label and thus had been influenced by society's views to boast a vast array of piercings; silver loops intertwining throughout the outer edges of his left ear, and in addition to the aforementioned, iron beads may also be found rolling up midway across his tongue. He had subconsciously conformed of gaining a smoking habit and thus may be commonly seen with smoke closely trailing behind; though he supposedly smokes in order to reduce stress rather than being an addiction. Whilst he retains no set of prints upon his wound-ridden skin, he is lured by the idea of having them camouflage the repulsive defects found throughout his body.
The attire which the crimson beast commonly dons during his ventures outside of home, despite having his movements somewhat restricted, consists of a crumpled white colored short-sleeved shirt; of which said V-neck shirt is incapable of fully containing his physical prowess. An overlaying black leather fur collared jacket is often worn atop of the shirt; unzipped and unbuttoned during the spring and summer, and closed off completely during the frost-ridden seasons. Its fuzzy pockets often hold numerous important items, such as: his wallet, nitroglycerin pills, lighter, pack of cigarettes, sunglasses. His navy-blue denim jeans are held tightly to his waist through the use of a simple brown leather belt, in addition to the belt, a silver chain is attached from the belt to the back pocket on his left side; as if to complete the rest of the outfit, he sports plain black socks along with black shoes. He is wrapped in various accessories of silver qualities, a singular bangle split into three is worn upon his left hand, a ring upon his right index finger, along with a star shaped pendant held together by rope. The hitai-ate, the proof of his ascendance into the ranks of shinobi, is worn securely upon his neck; which he finds poetic, as he is no longer more than a dog of the village.

Upon first impressions, he is often portrayed as an aloof and cold-hearted individual; whose relaxed and silent demeanor instills a sense of discomfort amongst others. Caution is to be exercised whenever dealing with the alleged ruffian, as he is often depicted as a fearless, heartless, and ruthless being whom does not know the meaning of prudence. His stoic expression does not waver despite the presented situation; easily disregarding the brandishing of a knife, or the threat of an ensemble of questionable gentlemen. The dearly departed, whether family or not, holds no apparent sway over the emotional state of the vermilion giant and thus resulted his alienation from his relatives. The truth lies deep within the vessel known as Kiryuu and so remains hidden from the prying eyes of others, and as such many remain unaware of his struggles of revealing his true self; which naturally hampers his ability to befriend others. Unbeknownst to the inhabitants of the village he resides within, the behemoth's actions are far from erratic though perhaps more appropriately described as incomprehensible; such as how he would brutally retaliate against any injustice done to either himself or another for the most arbitrary reason. Regardless whether the individual whom had committed the offense be a child or an elder, such a shield will not last against the goliath's onslaught nor the mere mention of the word 'sorry' will be one's saving grace; as his cynicism would not allow him to take such words seriously. It is assured that a pittance of time is more than useless, as his powerful memory will refrain from forgetting such things. Proper amends must be made in order to earn his forgiveness, and even then his perception of the offender would forever be lit under a negative light.
Is the glass half full, or half empty? A timeless question which served to assess whether one is of an optimistic or pessimistic nature, to which the red-haired punk falls unto the latter category. He is often left bewildered whenever having spoken to an optimist, being subjugated to their unrealistic ideals or their false sense of security easily tumbles him unto the path of annoyance or of frustration. However, as much as he scorns optimists for their peculiar perception, he clings unto a small shred of hope of seeing the world as they do; that there is some magical quality which lies beyond the reach of pessimists such as himself. An empty lingering void in which he struggles to fill accompanies the teenager through his daily life, and thus effectively bestowing the brute an apathetic demeanor or an otherwise depressed expression; furthermore granting a monotonous voice devoid of any joy. A sense of cynicism is heavily integrated within his manner of speech and overall thought process; of which he is unrepentant with flaunting such cynicism whenever in public, which naturally affects his relationship with others. He had his share of disappointments in others throughout his experiences in the past, and thus desires to avoid experiencing disappointments and heartbreak once more. He places a heavy emphasis on keeping his emotional attachments to others minimal and thus will often purposefully try to get others to dislike him; an effective method in shielding himself from further pain. Due to his cynical persona, he is incapable of viewing acts of kindness for what they are and will conclude that there are hidden motives behind them; hence kindness is the quickest method in getting him to dislike another person, regardless whether alleged kindness is genuine or not.
Whether through words or via actions, he displays an immense amount of self-assurance within his capabilities as an individual; though said confidence directly stems from his mistrust within the ability of others. Such mistrust further expands the distance between himself and the rest of humanity, rendering him further ensnared by the chains of loneliness. His arrogant and egotistic proclamations are but a veil cast upon himself in order to conceal the weak mellow side of himself; all in an effort of protecting himself from the harsh cruelties of human nature. A conflictive maelstrom of self-worth and of doubt turmoils within that borrowed heart, often prompting him to question the meaning behind his existence and of life itself. A complicated past and the shallow eyes of civilization birthed doubt, labeling and troubling the titan as a delinquent; nothing more than the lowest of trash within society. In order to suppress the surge of self-deprecation or otherwise obsessive thoughts from overwhelming his sanity, he aims to concentrate on a task: training; it instills a sense of solace within the otherwise disturbed young man. "Tell a genius that he is an idiot long enough... and he will come to believe it to be so", a quote which best represents himself; morphed and melded by society. Hence his dishonest nature whenever dealing with matters which concerns himself; often leading him to deny his desires and thus significantly dampen his impulsiveness. Due to his abnormal sense of honor, he is incapable of breaking a promise.
Fears
- Hypnophobia; the fear of sleep. The crimson beast exhibits an irrational fear of falling into a state of slumber, and thus further explaining as to why he possesses the worn face that he does. Whilst the state of unconsciousness in itself instills a sense of discomfort within the young man, the true reason behind his hypnophobia stems from his chronic chain of night terrors. Due to their realism, they may temporarily grant an additional fear for an unknown period of time. The intense episodes easily cause him to be drenched in sweat whilst muttering words of cowardice or of hatred, and will often have him violently flail around in his sleep. It is a common occurrence for one of his hands to be outstretched, reaching toward the ceiling in a strangling motion right before the moment he awakens; as if to kill whatever was plaguing him. Due to the phobia, he is an insomniac and thus rarely falls asleep of his own accord.
- Catapedaphobia; the fear of jumping down. The crimson beast exhibits an irrational fear of jumping down from an elevated level, the fear itself should not be confused with acrophobia; the fear of heights. He has no qualms with walking about in high altitudes nor looking down below, though is incapable of bringing himself to jump down; it does not matter whether the distance to the ground from his current position be an hundred feet or merely one foot, he will not be capable of bringing himself to jump down. There is only one situation in which he would have no issues with jumping down, and that is whenever the distance is less than one foot, seeing as then he could just as easily walk down. If he attempts to jump down, he would awkwardly move forward and then prepare to jump by lowering his body, springs himself up though stops himself short whenever he is right about to jump up. He would then proceed to get down via some other way, which is often long and arduous.
- Genophobia; the fear of coitus. The crimson beast exhibits an irrational fear of engaging in intercourse, hence explaining his supposed asexuality. Unlike the colossus' other phobias, there are many reasons behind to his genophobia instead of one concrete reason. For example, he finds genitalia to be abysmally disgusting, though that may only serve as an excuse for his discomfort in having an actual relationship with another individual; laying his feelings bare is frightening in its own regard. Perhaps he holds some subconscious fear of attaining a sexually transmitted disease, or fathering a child. It may also be due to the possibility of being inadequate in the act and thus ridiculed by whomever his partner may be. Due to the nature of the phobia having turned him asexual, he is incapable of being seduced by another.
history
The story begins like any other, man meets woman, woman meets man. The both of them fall in love with one another, can't dream of living without the other. Hence, they naturally become husband and wife. Two souls, united together for eternity through holy matrimony. The two of them started their lives together in some obscure location; no big cities, no masses of zombies scrambling toward work. An island out in the middle of nowhere was just right for them. While the city may present opportunities that may appeal to many others, the both of them wanted nothing more than to live peaceful lives; free of worry, free from industrialization, and free from the influence of shinobi. All that they've desired was a peaceful life for them and their children. The father, was described as a blue collar; otherwise known as a manual laborer. Due to certain familial circumstances whilst he was growing up, he was incapable of learning any decent trades; in order to help with the situation his family found themselves in, he had been forced to search far and wide for any job opportunities. No matter how demeaning such opportunities may have been. Ordinarily, he wouldn't put up with taking orders, or bowing his head down to someone whom doesn't deserve his respect; but the power of love could change a man in ways that no one else may imagine. No matter the disgrace he may experience, no matter what others might say... as long as his wife was happy, he was happy.
The mother, took upon herself the traditional role of the housewife. As the man felt happy when she felt happy, she too, felt happy when he was happy. Through this, the bond between the both of them grew stronger with every passing day. Permanently intertwining their lives. She was the ideal wife for any man: kind, beautiful, intelligent, and bearing a smile unlike any other; its no wonder why her husband did everything he could and more, into seeing that smile of hers. Though, whilst she may appear to be the perfect wife. She was a frail woman. Prone to sickness, incapable of exerting any physical strength; she even had to take extreme care in what she ate. Whilst she was not in any actual danger with such a condition, her husband felt pain whenever she was running a fever, or seeing her eat so little. But despite the problems that have occurred, he could never stop loving this woman. She became quite popular among the natives of the island, quickly gaining friends whom in turn would help her and her husband. The wife, with her kindness and radiating beauty, the husband, with his hard-working self, adapted to their new lives splendidly on the island. They weren't rich, but they were happy with how things had turned out. It was only natural that a certain question would pop up. The question being, "When will the both of you get children?". Once confronted with this question, the wife announced that she was indeed with child. The husband was shocked upon hearing the news, but obviously over enjoyed. He was going to have a child. They were going to have a child.
Hence the first of four children was born, a girl. The both of them were so happy that, one year later, they had made another child. This time, a boy. The first grew up to be a beautiful young lady and eventually became a kindergarten teacher. She was the most emotional of the four children, hence she fell in love quickly; and with the wrong guys. She was with child at the age of sixteen; the father ran away from responsibility. Though the mother and father were quite empathetic with their precious little girl and helped her through the trial without judging her. Eventually, she had gotten married to another man, had his child, though their marriage felt apart; she kept custody of the child, though he had the right to see his child every now and then. She eventually found herself a new husband, though unlike the other two, this one was staying. Her new husband was also recently divorced, and had a child with him, thus they became a happy family of three; that is, until they had a child together. All of them were girls. The son, he went through phases throughout the course of his life. None of them good. He was prone to violence against other children. Prone to play around with women. Prone to use all sorts of drugs. And lots of drinking. Eventually, one night, he drank... a little too much. Enough to experience severe alcohol poisoning. Though he came through; ever since then, he straightened his act together. He went off to work immediately after he finished with learning the carpentry trade. Keeping regular contact with his parents whenever possible.
It had been seven years after their second born, that they were yet against gifted with a miracle; the third of four children. The third was the one with the bad personality. Most would say that the second was obviously the bad one, though he had never hurt his family. Not intentionally anyway; mother could have died from shock when she saw him at the hospital. The third grew up as normal as can be, and once the fourth, once Kiryuu had been born... it was then that he changed. He was six years old when Kiryuu had been born. It was most probable that the third resented his younger brother; jealous that he no longer had the sole attention of his parents, that he was no longer treated as their precious little boy. The third became full of angst once he reached his teenage years, and it reflected in his personality. He would become quick to anger. Hate talking to the family. Hate to do anything with the family. Frequently yell out how he hates his family. How he wished he was born into another one; one that was more rich and didn't live in such a 'dump'. The father, while it wasn't his fault, couldn't help but feel as if he failed. After all, he wasn't exactly proud of his various occupations. Janitorial work. Caravan driver... jobs that anyone could do. The mother was too emotional, just incapable of disciplining her child; hence the third did as he pleased whilst the father felt bad and the mother unsure of what to do.
Seeing as the third of the four was free to do as he wished, without suffering any actual consequences from his actions; he naturally grew to become increasingly difficult. The first and second born of the family were not there in the household, they were busy living their adult lives. The father was not home often, too busy working long hours in order to keep financial stability. Hence, it was only natural that the third became the male role model in Kiryuu's world. He would make small changes as time passed by, adopting a similar hairstyle, dress similarly, and eventually learn to act the same. Anti-social, quiet, cynical, hating everyone around him... he became this way, in order to appease his older brother. Though, the opposite had occurred. The third found it annoying more than anything else, and thus treated Kiryuu all the more harshly. Kiryuu's original feelings of wanting a place in his brother's eyes, was replaced with hatred. Thus the two of them never got along together. Such social interaction with his older brother became the origin of his current persona; where he felt completely worthless, yet he wanted to prove that he was so much more. The feud between the both of them continued well until the third left the household; though Kiryuu's hatred for his older brother never ceased. No matter how much the third changed after he left. Kiryuu would never forgive him for what he had done to him over the entirety of his life.
Kiryuu had became a teenager when the third had left the household; causing him to calm down and thus develop his own unique bland of personality, rather than being a copy of the third. Though old habits died hard; he kept being a silent individual whom saw the world through pessimistic eyes. The experience he received from dealing with his older brother had granted him new values, new ideals to follow. As such, he had appeared more mature than others of his age; hence he gradually became alienated from his peers. Isolation had forced him to become cynical, independent, and a tsundere. Adults treated him as a problem child seeing as how he was abnormal. Thus stemmed the origin of his dislike for adults; always treating him as inferior, always judging him for whom he is. He went through puberty a lot earlier than most children, hence he became all the more alienated. He thought about things more. Knew more things than before. He knew he was different. He knew that no one would ever see him as normal. He became enraged; assaulting anyone whom looked at him funny, finding others to be nothing but an annoyance. Due to such violent behavior, and loads of bad rumors about him... delinquents became attracted to him. They attacked him, and he lost. He got beaten badly. Blood everywhere, broken bones; and a shattered pride. He lamented as he was sprawled across the ground. He was weak. He felt unloved, stupid, and among other things.
He just wanted to fade away into nothing. Stop feeling. Stop seeing, smelling, hearing... he wished he were imprisoned in oblivion; he wanted to stop dealing with everything that life was throwing at him. Though he had no such control, as such, picked himself off of the ground in a slow agonizing way. Headed back to his home; to lick his wounds somewhere more comfortable. Upon his arrival, his parents were obviously shocked to see their son in such a mess; fretting over the boy whom seemed completely unfazed by what was going on around him. Obviously they didn't want such a thing to ever happen again; the father was adamant about having his son taught martial arts; hence how he had been sent to Umigakure no Sato. With that, Kiryuu became involved with taijutsu. His teacher was astounded by his progress, amazed at how his body flowed like liquid, and his physique became more and more impressive; or perhaps monstrous is the better word.
One would be lead to believe that he would have learned a sense of discipline during his stay at the academy, though his taste for violence only strengthened as he became more adept at fighting. He beat down anyone whom got in his way, whether fellow student or ordinary citizen, and thus eventually earned himself the title of 'Umigakure's Crimson Beast'. His infamy rose as he continued to be fight and eventually earned recognition from those whom proclaim themselves as the leaders of the village. Thus marked the beginning for the hunt of Konohagkure's Crimson Beat; upon his eventual capture, he had been sent to Umigakure's 'Youth Correctional Facility': in short, a prison. Throughout the two years he had spent there, he had been under tight guard and psychologically poked and probed in order to assess whether he could become a productive member of society. Once significant progress has been made on his part, he had eventually been cleared out of the facility and back into society. From then he would be promoted to a Genin.
The story turns blank here, leaving all to wonder how his tale will come to an end.

Due to his overwhelming physique, he often fights in a highly aggressive matter; which in turn, forces most people to fight at his pace. He relies on quick flurries of punches and kicks as well as exerts all of his strength behind each and every blow in an attempt of causing the most physical damage as possible. Due to his his past brawling days, he retains an unrefined style of street fighting; and thus is often prone to perform unpredictable feats which wouldn't occur to most shinobi.
Unlike the vast majority of shinobi whom aim to avoid strikes, he often ignores them and pushes right through their inertia in order to launch a counter. He often ignores pain and fatigue due to his insatiable bloodlust which generates huge amounts of adrenaline whenever fighting, and thus is mostly immune to the common flinching effect received whenever taking in strikes. In addition to this, he is capable of pushing through the state of unconsciousness and allowed to fight for an additional three posts before having his rampage come to an end; this effect goes into play even if he suffered fatal damage, lest it be cranium decapitation.
It is often surprising to discover that the young man has absolute no talent in ninjutsu and thus prone in failing to perform even the most basic of feats following this archetype. However chakra control is not the issue as he has a latent talent for performing genjutsu which may one day surpass his taijutsu skills.

Looks: Explodes in a cloud of smoke, replacing the attack with another inanimate object
Skill: The user quickly replaces themselves with an inanimate object, leaving the opponent open for a counter attack, used to dodge or surprise opponent.
Name: Ugoki Nanba no Jutsu - Nanba Movement Technique
Rank: E
Classification: Taijutsu
Chakra: N/A
Range: Self [Passive]
Looks: Refined Walking.
Skill: The emphasis of the technique lies within modifying the method in which the user moves their feet, as it had been proven that the conventional method in which the vast populace practices is quite inefficient and thus bringing birth to this technique in few martial art styles. The usual method causes people to essentially fall forward whilst walking or running forward, however, the fall is interrupted due to being stopped by having the back foot becoming the lead foot and thus catching the individual before such a thing occurs. Due to this, the foot and knees are constantly strained with each and every step and thus expending energy unnecessarily. Not only that, but the normal method of movement also unnecessarily causes the hips to rotate and the arms to swing inversely or along to the lead foot.
Nanba movements removes all of these unnecessary motions thus significantly lessening the stress placed on the leg. Due to the nature of the modification, sound caused by movement is muffled lest stepping unto an object; such as a branch. Whilst not apparent at first, the user will expend much less energy whilst moving and hence will typically outlast non-users in long distance running. Whilst understanding the basic concept of the technique is enough to replicate it, it is tremendously difficult to do so as it goes against how one naturally moves their bodies; hence requiring adequate amount of time before being able to replicate it, especially without being conscious of how they move and thus slowed down significantly. This technique is treated as a passive once acquired.
Name: Sakeru no Jutsu - Side Step Technique
Rank: D
Classification: Taijutsu
Chakra: 6
Range: Personal
Looks: Promptly shifts feet to bypass an opponent's attack in order to perform a counter-attack.
Skill: Whenever matched up against an opponent whom charges forward toward the user with a, more-or-less, straightforward attack, the user promptly shifts the position of his feet inward to one another along with bending their knees slightly whilst they await for the opponent to come within their reach. Upon reaching the opportune distance between both the user and the assailant, the user slides their feet correspondingly with one foot going outside of the aggressor's lead foot and the other goes right on through with the motion. Should the technique be properly executed, which includes avoiding being hit during its execution, the user would find themselves behind the opponent thus allowing them one of two options; they may either slide their foot whilst pushing the back or the neck of the assailant and thus cause them to hurl toward the ground, or the user may simply launch an attack at their blindside.
Name: Chijō no - Earthbound
Rank: C
Classification: Taijutsu
Chakra: 7
Range: Personal
Looks: Performs three quick strikes in succession.
Skill: The technique is designed to effectively subdue an individual by performing a short series of actions which will, when performed successfully, leave the person breathless as well as on the ground. The user performs three moves in rapid succession: a knee strike to the abdomen, another knee strike to the head once grasped within the user's clutches and brought into the knee, and finally an elbow slamming down unto their back. These three moves are made quickly and with fluidly, which implies that the first strike may be defended against, though if successfully landed, the opponent will have no chance defending against the short surge of movements following suite. The reason behind the difficulty of defending against the other two should the first strike hit, is that the knee-strike to the abdomen results in temporary paralysis of the diaphragm, which in layman's terms mean that it would knock the breath out of the opponent and thus causing him to double-over alongside have difficulty breathing. The last strike slams the opponent into the ground with great force.
