Name: Mangetsu no Hyouga
Age: 15
Appearance/Mannerisms:
Hair is dark blue and spiky - for some unexplained reason it just defies gravity. His eyes are pupil-less and completely grey - he looks blind, he is around six feet-tall and muscular, he has a tendency of keeping his head bowed low as he walks, he sleeps for sixteen hours a-day, he believes that "everything [in this world] is troublesome," his first word was "troublesome" (TWA-bol-SUM, whatever,) he calls sake "allegedly alcoholic," his favorite food is ramen. He tends to look down on those he deems of as less intelligent or those that believe that are above him (the upper class) He never refers to his apprentice by her first name (ironically, this is all she calls him by,) he is a solitary person - when he is first introduced to his student he states that he does not wish to travel "... with some annoying brat!"
Background:
He is an orphan from the village Fubuki. Compared to the rest of the children his age he didn't have a great childhood - partially responsible for this was his "thirst for knowledge" which led him to practice the forbidden arts of his people, but mostly responsible was an unspoken law in the village, dealing with some past event, which dictates - "no orphans are allowed." Because of these two reasons he was alienated from the children his age, was barely fed, the adults and older children would beat him, and had a tree to call "home" - this went on until the day he was ten years-old, when he finally forced to leave.
People:
The people of his world LOVE war and because of this they train children to be soldiers since the age of four. The first training the children receive is "suppression training" and then "endurance training" (basically, extreme forms of meditation and endurance training - it lasts about two months, those that survive continue their studies) At the age of ten children "graduate" from school, becoming a minor form of adult and are free to do with their lives as they wish (join the army)
World:
His world is "parallel" to ours. It's basically the same, minding a load of exaggerated geographical features and the following facts:
* Northwest is actually North
* One year is fourteen months long - hence, if one says they are twelve they are actually fourteen
* No one has a family name
* Modernization and industrialization have not occurred - they still live in a feudal/medieval era society ruled by limited monarchies
* There are no forms of "modern technology"
The world is split up into seven countries, called "Regions," each named after its geographical features. Hence, we have the following: the Wing Region, the Fire Region, the Water Region, the Earth Region, the Plant Region, the Lightning Region, and the Ice Region. Each region has its own language: Polish, Spanish, Latin/English, Swahili, French, Romanian, and Japanese/Chinese. However these languages are only used to name certain things (people, places, etc.) and instead English is the language under which all are united. There is ALWAYS a war between two, three, or four regions. There has only been one case of worldwide war - which lasted over ten years and and eradicated over fifty-percent of the world's population.
Family:
He comes from an ancient 1500 year-old clan served by foxes. Formerly, it was a hugely populated clan, but has since been dwindled down to four members. It is and was made up of mostly women. In fact, including Hyouga, only three males have ever been born into the clan. They are known for their hair - dark blue and in varying spiked styles.
