What is this? Some kind of job application? You tryin' to make sure I'm not crazy or something!?
Alright, Quick witted and sarcastic, I'm pretty much a force to be reckoned with in terms of a verbal argument. The type of person who has no problem saying what's on his mind, I guess you could say I'm known for my brash demeanor and inability to keep my mouth shut. Having been brought up on the phrase, "honesty is the best policy", I've never really been afraid to tell people how I feel about them. So, if I don't like you...you'll probably know it fairly quick.
I enjoy practical jokes--a lot. As a matter of fact, it's in my top three favorite things to do. I guess I could go ahead and shar--what? That's in an entirely different heading? Also--don't let my cute exterior fool you...I can be an asshole, I won't lie. Alright, moving on then! I like to train. I hope to become a great ninja so that I can provide for my family and help out the village that's given so much to my family and friends.
People tell me I'm a tad bit over protective of my big sis--but I think that's a big lie. It's not like I've ever threatened her boyfriend...wait, no...I did that. Well it's not like I've purposely sabotaged a date with that one jer-...did that too. Well, okay fine! So I want to make sure my sis doesn't get involved with a jerk! Sue me!

So. You wanna know about my past, huh? Well, there really isn't much to talk about...but if it will make you happy, I suppose I've got nothing to hide.
As most stories do, it all begins with a BEAUTIFUL baby boy. Born on March 1st, I was born into the prestigious Takashima clan to Saito and Hiromi Takashima. People tell me that from the day I was born, my parents were always talking about how I was destined for greatness. When I turned five, my father started to teach me the art of hand to hand combat. And yeah, before you ask...my dad did kick my ass several times. But hey--it's not like I didn't give back what I was getting! Well, no. I pretty much got my ass kicked for three years..but the beatings got less and less horrendous!
We'll skip ahead a bit. The next year or so is kinda boring.
At age seven, I looked up to my big sister Kiyomi, who was the one who taught me to read. And it was only a matter of time before she started dating. Now, don't think I'm some sort of freak or anything, but any guy can see that my sister is pretty--so it's only right that I be protective of her! Why wouldn't I!? I didn't want anything bad to happen to her and most of the guys she hung out with pretty much gave me the creeps. Now, this is where my love of practical jokes really took flight. I'd devise devious traps that would send those jerks packing! This whole thing would continue until Kiyomi got the sense to pick a boy that actually respected her.
Disaster struck when my father had to go away on a big mission. Dad rushed off and my mother and sister were left worried sick. He told me, 'Shinji', he said, 'you're the man of the house now! Take care of the family while I'm away!'. And so I did--to the best of my abilities anyway. Mostly that just consisted of me doing the menial chores my mother forced dad to do on a daily basis.
Finally, at age eight, I was ready for the Ninja Academy. I'd like to tell you that things went smoothly right off the bat--but they didn't. It could have been jealousy...or the tension from the war...or it could have been me running my mouth, I dunno...but most of the kids just didn't really like me. You wouldn't believe how hard I had to work to make them not want to kick my ass--which believe it or not....most of them did. Hard to believe anyone could hate a kid this adorable, right?
Anyway, as time went by, I eventually managed to turn things around with a good few of my fellow students--the ones I liked anyway. When it came to the actual classwork, I didn't really have much of a problem. With my quick wits and my decent experience in combat, I received above average marks.
Now that I've finally graduated from the academy I can start my real journey to...uh....ninjadom!
My parents will tell you that I'm special. But don't believe the hype, I'm pretty shitty--I'll be the first to admit that. But believe this, I'm going to get better. I'm going to train as hard as I possibly can to become the best ninja I can be in order to protect my friends and family...and maybe prove my parents right some day.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify]
