Kahsyo walked around in the forest just outside the village. He's been around in this area since he was young, and started to talk to people back when he was depressed, starting when he was 14. *Of course*, he thought, *I was just an edgy teen. No wonder I was always so depressed.* He realized though, that in the three years since his depression began, people had gained his trust again. Many people he had met from all over the shinobi lands had taught him a valuable lesson: Just because there are many evil, heartless, untrustworthy people in the world, didn't mean everyone was. Much of this realization came from the people from his home, Morigakure, his old home, Hokorigakure, where he had fled to after he was nearly killed by his mother, though he came back to Morigakure when he was 10, and the fellow members of the organizations he was a part of. Those people were his real family. *I'd give my life for them*, he thought, and there wan't a single hint of doubt in his mind about it. All the people he had met taught him to trust people again. Because of that, he had stabilized. Now 17, he realized he could help the world better with a clear mind, not one still depressed. He loved the Morigakure, and because of that, he was going to become the Morikage and lead his village to peace, then he was going to eradicate evil. No crime would exist anymore. As long as he could become the strongest shinobi in all the land, he could end war, end fighting, and above all, end sadness. That was his plan, and he was going to make it happen, no matter what, all the while with love in his heart for the world.

Will there be village bands, like headbands or armbands or whatever, in SLO? And if so, are there already village symbols that have been decided for the villages?

Description of the character's history: He was abused as a child, and almost killed by his mother when he was 4 years old. He has been traumatised by this and sometimes experiences great depression and a sort of PTSD from this. The name "Scorpion of the Hidden Dust" comes from the Sage Mode created by Itomaru, known as Scorpion Sage. He also carries a weapon he calls the scorpion tail, which is a metal rope connected to a horizontal blade that paralyzes those it cuts. He hopes to gain the legacy of his home village, and use that in combination with the scorpion sage mode not only become the next, and best, Hokrikage, but also rid this world of the evil, like his mother, that lurks in the least expected places. Once he does this, he may find peace, but until then, he trusts almost no one, and finds that his only purpose is killing those who are evil.
