PERSONALITY
At first glance, depending on what situation you first see him in, Rato could be mistaken as either a cripplingly shy and awkward teenager, or a merciless, almost sadistic pragmatist. This split is due to the fact that, while he does his best to follow the rules that humans have built up over time- ways that are and are not appropriate to act- he, at his core, does not understand them, and in fact has issues following them, unless they are explicitly stated to him. Even then, he finds following them confusing, and unnecessary, to the point that, if under pressure, he will revert to his instincts, and solve the problem however it comes to mind.
When not in this state, Rato appears painfully shy, and awkward, although one that is kind in the sense of someone who does kind things without understanding that they are, then can turn around and do or say something cruel in the same way. Other than his lack of comprehension of morals and most societal rules, he wants, dearly, to be accepted by someone, issues and all, almost to the point of desperation.
APPEARANCE AND ATTIRE
At 5'7'', Rato is fairly short, and doesn't seem to be getting any taller, something that is less distressing to him in the face of his other issues. His hair is an exceedingly deep red, almost to the point of being black, although in the proper light it reflects its actual colors. His eyes are a dark gold, and usually move around wherever he is, scanning the environment in an almost anxious manner. He wears a grey kataginu, with grey hakama. Atop his kataginu, he wears a reversible haori- tan outside, grey inside. On his feet, he wears grey shinobi sandals, and he wears his hitai-ate on black fabric, around his waist. He wears his ninja plate, painted grey, under his haori.

HISTORY
Born to an ordinary mother and father, Rato had an incredibly normal childhood, at least, as normal of a childhood as a child could have amidst the Great Clan Wars. This continued until he was eight years old, at which point he was deemed old enough to begin learning the clan techniques, and to begin fighting for the clan. For the most part, he was instructed to simply stay hidden and simply alert the older clan members he was teamed up with when he saw enemy shinobi. How, specifically isn’t known, but the end result of the event was the same; as far as could be gathered, when he set off the alert during a late night watch, only one of his clansmen showed up, and were quickly cut down. By the time the rest of the team showed up, the majority of the enemies were dead, killed by their own weapons, with Rato cutting repeatedly into the last, barely so, surviving enemy.
The end result was a highly disturbed group of clansmen, who refused to work with him any further. Rumor quickly spread, and from that night, until the founding of Sunagakure, Rato was treated as something of a ticking time bomb, unable to be trusted. He spent most of his time being bounced between different groups of his clansmen, and being sequestered away at the compound, where most people, his parents included, avoided him. Despite this, he did his best to be of use to the clan however he could, and then later, to be of use to anyone who would let him be.This continued up until, finally, the village was established and he was assigned to a team with two other genin, and a jounin who was known for being a stickler for rules. While the other two genin chafed under the jounin’s directions, it was the first time that Rato had been placed in a position where the rules and expectations that were set for him were clearly laid out to him. Things went well, almost enough so that the team was the closest thing to family he had had for some time.
The trust that had been fostered for those years came to an abrupt end, however, in the final round of the Chuunin exams. With the final round being in the form of a team vs team battle, it came down to one of his teammates being unconscious, and the other incapacitated, with one of the opposing shinobi unconscious. Faced with the death of his team, he did the only thing he could think of that, to him made sense. He gathered up all the metal weapons that he, his team mates, and the unconscious shinobi had on them, doused them liberally with poison, and painstakingly embedded them into the opponent, the teens screams acting much as a lure, and killing him in the process. He then laid in wait for the opposing two genin to come, having placed the body behind a choke point. When the shinobi approached the body, he, from behind them, activated his clan’s kekkei genkai, more specifically Jiton: Inryoku.
To say the two genin were torn to shreds would be an understatement. What was left of them was little enough, and in few enough pieces that it took the recovery team hours to find all they could to send back to the opposing country. He got his promotion for the display of strategy- but at the cost of his team, with his former jounin instructor publicly chewing him out about his lack of remorse, and lack of mercy, the word ‘monster’ thrown at him more than once. The other boy on the team, having witnessed the display, not only refused to be within ten yards of Rato, but also later quit the shinobi corps as a whole, before taking his own life due to the images that haunted him. The girl on the team, despite having not seen the act herself, found that any attempts to socialize with him led to her being increasingly ostracized as well, and wound up publicly denouncing him
So now, he is alone, again. No emotional ties, and more than a few wounds on his soul and emotions.
