Rank: Genin
Appearance: Banquo stands at just over 6'0" and weighs around 185 lbs. He's a bit muscular, with very little fat on his frame. Running across his chest from his right shoulder down to his left side is a dark scar, a reminder from his past as to why he should never trust anyone. On his left shoulder blade is a
Triskele Approximate six centimeters in length. Though he explains it away as a tattoo he received from his clan, that mark is actually a juuinjutsu that was placed on him by his father.
His hair is kept short and dyed black, though it's true color is a blood red. Banquo's eyes are also red, however they seem to be of a bit brighter color that's closer pink. Running down his face is another scar, from a fight when he was a child that ended in the afore-mentioned curse mark being placed on him to augment his normal power.
His usual attire consists of a normal black t-shirt, white flack jacket, and black cargo shorts in which he houses his weapons. Tied around the boy's waist is a red rope obi similar in style to those worn by the the sound ninja in the anime, albeit with an inch wide black stripe running down it's length.
Personality: Banquo Ketayoshi is not a very trusting person. His mother burned his house when he was a child and he was left alone at the age of seven to fend for himself. Gowing up in the world of a shinobi, he was not warmly welcome by the conventional part of society and thus began to develop a dislike for most strangers. He also developed an unusual knack for thievery, able to lift entire baskets of goods from vendor stalls and be blocks away before the shopkeeper even noticed.
The only adult he has trusted since his escape from Iwagakure was the clan member who took him in and trained him. When the man died, it made Banquo's distrust fullness even stronger and he became even more depressed. He spends most of his days exploring the forests around takigakure in solitude searching for a meaning to his existence. He feels like if he attempts to make friends, they'll end up being killed as well due to his bad history with loved ones.
Because of his childhood, he has developed a dislike for fire and it's destructive nature. As such, he stays closer to cool places like rivers and caves that afford protection from the heat.
Story: The story pf Banquo begins 15 years ago. Two young lovers meet beneath a sakura tree. For months they have been involved and tonight is the night they decide to consummate their marriage in hot lustful passion. Months pass and it becomes apparent that the kunoichi is pregnant. Facing pressure from his family, the man proposes marriage.
Five years later, the couple is happily married with two children, a five year old boy and two three-year old twin girls. The older boy, Banquo, comes home from the academy time after time with bruises all over his face and body. The father, unable to bear his child being harassed and disgraced, places a mark on shoulder. Known as a cursed mark, the man empowered his son with his own chakra. When thee Tsuchikage found out of the child's abilities, the pretended to be interested, but Banquo's father was wary of telling anyone about his son's abilities.
When the tsuchikage could not gain answers, he decided to infiltrate the family. Using powerful genjutsu, the man turned Banquo's mother. However, even genjutsu could not cause a mother to betray her husband and son. When the time came for her to take Banquo from their home, the woman instead set it ablaze and warned Banquo to run.
And so he did. Banquo ran for days, unable to rid his mnd of the sights and sounds of his home burning to the ground. Now only 7 years old, he was left to fend in the world by himself. His family and home was gone, he had no food, and all he had to himself was his curse mark and the clothes on his back.
For weeks he struggled through the ninja world, stealing to keep his small belly fully and living with other orphans to keep a roof over his head. Eventually he was taken in by a man in takigakure. Revealing that he was also an of the boy's family, the man helped Banquo unlock his true abilities, teaching the advance techniques of their his curse seal and in time Banquo was old enough to train as a genin in the Village Hidden in the Waterfall.
