Character Name: Kidoumaru
Series: Naruto
Age: 14 (http://www.leafninja.com/biographies-K.php and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Sound#Kidomaru )
Canon (spoilers for the Barrel o’ Sasuke arc): Kidoumaru is a
member of the Sound Four (along with Sakon, Ukon, Tayuya, and Jiroubou),
Orochimaru’s elite squadron of bodyguards and barrier experts. He’s
generally considered the second-strongest member of the group, with a number
of combat advantages including six arms, a third eye, and an ability to
produce both unbreakable spider-webs and spikes, knives and arrows, from his
mouth; he can also summon huge spiders and, like the rest of the Sound Four,
he has a Curse Seal allowing him access to abnormal levels of power.
Usually smiling like he’s about to play an evil prank on someone, Kidoumaru
is reckless in a fight and finds combat entertaining until he comes bored
(frequently) with sub-par enemies or settles down with the concentration of
a serious gamer (less often) when someone really offers a challenge.
Technically the smartest member of the Sound Four and the best tactician, he
undermines his own abilities by “playing around” too much (Orochimaru’s
words) and toying with his opponents when he really should just kill them
outright. This bad habit costs him dearly when Hyuuga Neji uses his head as
a Jyuuken punching bag. Around people he trusts (which amounts to, um, his
team), he's a bit more cautious and sometimes acts to shut down arguments or
reassure the recitent.
Sample Post:
'Kay, lost both my sense of direction and contact with the other Four, but
on the plus side I think I've stumbled on a military establishment that’s
run by idiots. Some kind of training camp, I guess, but what kind of
training institution leaves out useless metal tubes and some kind of
mini-computer apparently good for nothing but popping out porn ads?
Piece of crap doesn't even have Spider Solitaire on it. Then
again, maybe I’m closer to Leaf territory than I thought.
But forget that. If you ignore the swamp fumes, this trash place isn’t
actually all that bad. Shambling undead? Check. Lake-dwelling squid-thing
useful for security, possible food source, and entertainment value? Check.
Aw, it’s even playing nicely with my spider god summon.
...scratch that last part. Sound budgets for jumbo shipments of paper
towels, right?
Better find the others so we can get rid of that sorry excuse for a barrier
and start a proper takeover...although I might need to find a fire hose
first, that squid really hasn't got the message about female spiders yet.
The only thing that’s gotta go are these damn toucans. Next one asks me if
I'm gonna put on a unitard and run around catching thieves just like flies
is getting an arrow through its little purple head, then spit-roasted.
(Final result: 80% in. I feel so loved. Or something.)
