Spoiler:

The young Gekkido stands at a maximum of five foot nine inches on a good day and at the top of all those inches lies a full head of light brown hair, borderline blond. A long type of hair that stretches over his yellow headband just brighter than that of his hair. Two singular locks of hair flow under the headband and travel under his jaw line while most of it wouldn't make it to his headband, but spiky on the top of it. His headband has a few lines that cross it vertically. Gekkido's eyes are a light brown and are very well complimented by his hair. Hanging from his neck is a yellow bandana that serves no other purpose than style. Gekkido could normally be seen wearing his blue hoodie, this jacket has a lighter blue piece of cloth hanging from the back of his attached at the shoulders. It flaps in the wind because this kid is a hero. Signifying his dominant hand is his ninja pouch fashioned tightly around his right bicep. Gekkido's pants are a light blue with pockets just under the knee on both sides that seem to stop just under the pocket and covered by black shin guards that fit his leg nice enough to not slide off in combat. To top it all off, the boy wears a simple style of black sandal that has an extra strap at the heel for extra support.

Personality: Gekkido is a young ninja and as such his mind is not molded enough to be mature about many things. He fears intimacy at the most simple levels, even in normal conversation the boy finds trouble keeping eye contact be it a peer or an authority figure, some people take it as some offense but the boy is so shy that he has trouble doing the most basic function of a normal conversation and that is keeping eye contact. Gekkido's innocence also makes it hard for the young boy to speak exactly what is on his mind, he keeps the generally happy-go-lucky attitude that is a staple attribute of the Inuzuka family but he usually just follows the crowd's general opinion because he doesn't want to be the center of attention being the only one against the flow. Only one fish swim up stream, you know? Happy. Who knows what the true reason is, maybe it's the Inuzuka's trait of being happy, maybe there's something wrong with Gekkido but no matter the situaiton, the boy has a sense of humor. Doesn't matter what happens with this boy, Gekkido will never stop smiling and his generally aura of glowing happiness will never cease to happen. This could leave a scary image in most people's minds, picture a person slaughtering your partner with a smile on their face. Now das raunchy. If Gekkido breaks his happy characteristic then there is a problem, that means that some real shit just went down and it's time to get for real.

Gekkido does not like conflict, and goes to great lengths to avoid it. If he must face it, he will always approach it from the perspective of his feelings. In conflict situations, he places little importance on who is right and who is wrong. He instead focuses on the way that the conflict makes him feel, and indeed don't really care whether or not he is right. He doesn't want to feel badly. This trait sometimes makes him appear irrational and illogical in conflict situations. On the other hand, Gekkido makes a very good mediator, and is typically good at solving other people's conflicts, because he is intuitively understanding of people's perspectives and feelings, and genuinely wants to help them. Generally thoughtful and considerate, Gekkido is one of the good listeners and he can put people at ease. He does have a very deep well of caring and are genuinely interested in understanding people. This sincerity is sensed by others, making Gekkido a valued friend and confidante. Gekkido can be quite warm with people he knows well.

Story: Gekkido was born into a normal second class family to the mother who goes by the name of Itome and a father whose name is Shisuo, he is the one carrying the Inuzuka clan's special ability. His mother was the stay at home wife type of mom who tried her best to keep the house clean for daddy and her family. The young boy was trained by his father the minute he was able to, he started out in the academy with nothing special only having a good grasp on genjutsu and the application to taijutsu. By this time everyone else knew their potential and was already working on maxing out their abilities. The boy is seven in the academy and won't graduate until he was fifteen years old making the same mistakes and expecting different results. The boy couldn't figure it out. When Gekkido turned seven his mother got pregnant and would announce to the boy that he would have a little brother soon, claiming the name already as Yori. When Gekkido's birthday rolled around his little brother Yori was born and he couldn't have been more beautiful. The boy's skin matched that of his brother and in fact all the boys in the family looked very similar, it was obvious for one to tell Shisuo was the father of the two boys and their eyes matched that of their mother, Yori's eyes gleaming with that newborn glow. Gekkido was the happiest he's ever been when he first held his little brother. The young boy then turned into a boy with a self-given mission. That mission was to protect those closest to him.

Gekkido's training sessions started coming farther and farther in between, Yori taking most of the attention of his father but it was expected and Gekkido couldn't be mad. Hell, he was also one of the ones feeding the baby boy attention but not as much as his parents. The boy had a mission and he would accomplish it no matter what, nothing would get in his way to protect his family. In time the boy created his own training grounds behind his home to decrease his travel time to the training grounds over and over again each day, instead he would utilize the clone jutsu for him to practice his taijutsu and ninjutsu on often times making clones and sparring with himself. His father would often pass the boy and watch him with approving smiles every now and then, these visits came fewer than the training sessions in due time for the baby's needs became more than the importance of Gekkido's power. Gekkido took matters in his own hands and created a strict training regimine. Every day he would take on three clones with just him practicing the boy's taijutsu first and then he would practice his control of his chakra, every now and then searching for the sparking chakra in his system to no avail, until one day. One day the boy's father came out at a bad time, on a bad training session. The boy's clones were whiping him, his father simply looked down and walked back in the house until the noise of crackling lightning would erupt from behind the man. Turning around the clones were all dispursed into puffs of smoke already and he inferred the lightning was inside Gekkido. He looked to his father for the approval he desperately yearned for and he got the smile, followed by a cough that ended up leading the father to the bathroom where he would cough up blood.

Upon graduating the academy at the age of fifteen and his brother Yori, eight, was when their father of thirty three years old pass away. The family was used to his frequent coughs becoming more frequent with each day that passed, the man smoked cigarettes all the time and it was suspected that the man contracted lung cancer from the stuff. Though it was a sad time the happy trait that the Inuzuka have wouldn't even protect the family's views of life. Gekkido was pissed that he couldn't protect his father, the one thing he planned to do as a shinobi and the same frame of time he gained the rank to do such a thing his father dies. One of the closest persons in his life passes away at fifteen, it hasn't affected the boy much from what most can tell but his little brother was his only person he could talk to. Only recently the two became extra close shunning his mother often blaming her for their father's death. Nothing she could really do but in the young minds of the two they needed someone to blame and they couldn't reach the fact that it was their father's decision to smoke himself to death. They couldn't come to terms with such a death, it wasn't fit for such a great man as their father. The two trained together all the time, Yori and Gekkido, in the training grounds that Gekkido created and would often pray at the end of each session for their father. Not really a prayer, but more of a ritual for the great man that was their late father Shisuo Inuzuka. The ritual consisted of putting a dose of chakra into a kunai plunged inside the ground with their father's name engraved across the handle of the kunai.

Gekkido and his brother sharing the same birthday, Yori turned nine the day that Gekkido turned sixteen and matured a bit, coming to terms with his mother and finally showing her love. Yori didn't accept the decision at first but with the influence Gekkido had over his baby brother he would eventually turn his mind into loving his mother once more again, the reunion was very beautiful and happy. The tears that produced was of happiness and solace in the fact that the family was united once more. It is now that we begin the story in the forums. Gekkido was never in tuned with the family's trainings with dogs but when his father passed, Gekkido inhereted his father's dog whose name is Tobishiru. Over some years the two bonded enough to where they could match each other in combat and work in unison with ease.
