Description of the character's personality:
Shingen is not entirely trustworthy of anyone outside of his own brother. Because of this, he likes to test others to ensure they are...genuine in what they purport to be. If they truly are truthful, he will trust them to a certain extent...though he will still keep them at a short distance. If they happen to be lying to him, however, he will quickly assume that they cannot be trusted. The line he draws here is very fine because of his past, a reacurring element that influences most of his decisions in life. He believes that by studying the past, one can predict the future--to a certain extent, and he acts up this logic in all that he does. He sees no real reason in killing for "fun", and will take lives only for what he deems to be good reasons. His humorous side is genuine--likely picked up from his father--but rare to see, especially amongst outsiders. The only thing he truly regrets is his hesitance to act in certain situations, a problem he has spent much of his trying to correct.Description of the character's history:
Shingen Kajarhara was born as the second of two sons--underneath his older brother Raisho--in a small settlement a ways out from the Village Hidden in the Snow. His father, Morihiro Koyanagi, was a decent man with a comedic personality and a...problematic...gambling addiction. Morihiro originally married Shingen's mother, Nahoko Kajahara, with the belief that he could use some of her wealth to pay off his debts and fund his 'hobby', as Nahoko was a merchant. Unfortunately, she didn't make enough of a profit from her ventures to continue paying for the difficulties Morihiro was causing for their family, and, though the couple got along fairly well--because of his efforts to keep them together--his problem ultimately led to Nahoko leaving the village. This caused Shingen's father to sink even further into his addiction, and he soon amassed a small fortune's worth in gambling debts. The local crime lord of the settlement, in an attempt to scare Morihiro into paying his debts, started making threats against Morihiro's sons...Shingen and Raisho. Seeing no other way out, the poor man committed suicide in the hopes of wiping away his massive debt and freeing his sons of the burden. The local crime lord was greatly angered by this action, and would have had Shingen and Raisho killed had his first lieutnant, Michihiro Takamura, not stepped in and persauded him to let the boys go free. He then--secretly--sent the boys off to become shinobi in the Village Hidden in the Snow.
By the time the two had become Genin, Michihiro had become the new crime lord of their home settlement, and he quickly put them to use in secret missions of his own devising while they were on leave. Upon completion of these missions, Shingen and Raisho were not paid, but were instead forced to assume that their compensation was adding up to work off their father's debt. Because of this, Shingen and Raisho began to have doubts that they would ever work off the burden their father had inadvertently placed upon them.
Despite this down-heartening problem, the two became quite skilled shinobi. Shingen specialized in fighting with his blades at both close and medium distances. He was able to do this because of the construction of the blades, which could be described as a cross between kunai and curved swords...mainly due to the rings at the hilt of each blade. The swords were attached to strong wire cables that were themselves attached to Shingen's wrist guards. Because of this, Shingen was able to utilize his blades in both close and medium range combat by simply throwing them. The blades could be pulled back to his wrist guards, as they were attached to the wire cable mechanisms sewn into each guard. Depending on the amount of force Shingen used, he could either pull or be pulled by the blades if they struck into a hard object like a person or the ground. This allowed him to maneuver around the battlefield quickly or pull enemies within reach of him. He was also quiet adept at channeling his water style in conjunction with his brother's wind style, and the two would often use this tag-team strategy to gain an advantage against most other chakra types.
Eventually, Shingen realized he could no longer take the idea of his brother and himself being enslaved to the day they died. He made up his mind to leave the Village Hidden in the Snow and join up with Kurohasu, a rogue shinobi group operating out of the Land of Snow. Though he despised the idea of leaving his brother behind, he promised himself that, as soon as the time was right, he would help his brother escape their father's debt...even if it meant crossing everyone from both the Village and the organization that Michihiro ran in his home settlement. He would have to have patience until the time was right...
...But patience, was a virtue Shingen possessed an abundance of. With this in mind, he left the Village Hidden in the Snow and became the newest face in the Bingo Book.
