RELATIONS:
Baku Susano: Rai's father. He was, or still is, a Shinobi for the village. Rumors have circulated incessantly since he vanished from existence. Rai and Kono are determined to find out the truth.
Likio Susano: Rai’s mother. She is a cook and manager at a small diner within the village called, The Dew Drop. She is quite worrisome when it comes to her boys. She fears they may suffer the same fate her husband suffered. Whatever that may be.
Kono Susano: This is Rai’s older brother. He was born two years before Rai. Due to their fathers disappearance, Kono has taken it upon himself to protect his brother and will almost do anything to risk for the safety of him. Because of this, Rai has found himself on more than one occasion saving his brother for trying to save him. The love he feels for Kono is sometimes overshadowed by his frustration at his way of doing things.



PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
He is short, with blonde spikey hair and blue eyes. He has an athletic build, with a few scars from his troubles on the streets with his brother.

MENTALITY:
All outward appearances would indicate that Rai is a young, childish jokester. But in fact, when he is provoked, he can be just as lethal as his brother. He always thinks before he acts, calcualting best and worst case scenarios before commiting to an action. However, he takes after Kono with his cold hearted attitude, but only when a time calls for it. Otherwise, he is a fun-loving, talkative, annoying little brat. Because he is so talkative and seemingly innocent, people are more inclined to help him reach his goals. Whether it be gathering information, or supplies, he gets what he comes for.

He puts himself before anyone else, though his brother will have none of it. That frustrates Rai, who wants nothing more than his brother's approval. Rai has a talent for dealing with people, which is the complete opposite of Kono. He has a way with words, and will always find a way to get the information he needs from almost anyone. He can be quite naiive when it comes to dealing with adults, so he leaves such things to Kono who is more mature.

BIOGRAPHY:
Rai Susano was born on May 3rd. His father, Baku Susano, was a Shinobi for the Hidden Mist Village, and his mother, Likio Susano, was a restaurant manager at a shop called, The Dew Drop. He is the younger brother of Kono Susano. When he was born, he only had his big brother and mother to care for him. His father's life was always a mystery to him. When Rai was born, their father had retired as an acting Shinobi and returned home to be a father. When Rai was three years old, his father had disappeared once again. Kono had told him it was just something to get used to, and so they both did. It was a few years later that Kono told Rai of their father's way of life, and they were determined to make something of their own. To make their family proud. Rai refuses to acknowledge the rumors surrounding his father's disappearance, and he could tell it bothers both his mother and brother.

Even though his brother cringed at the mention of their father, Rai has always been detrmined to prove everyone wrong. Without a husband and father in their home, the family was forced to rely on one another more than ever. As the youngest, Rai followed in his brother's footsteps, until he saw that things could easily get out of control. Trouble had always found Kono, and Rai had always been there to back him up, regardless of the odds. Against his mother's wishes, he followed Kono wherever he went. That included the streets to make money, since their father was no longer around. After watching Shinobi in action from afar, he knew that it would be the right path in life to take as long as his brother was with him. He feels that Kono owes it to him to watch over him, but it ends up the other way around at times.

Rai and his brother had become well known amongst their peers and Kono's reputation on the streets didn't help matters. What made it all worse, was that their father still hadn't returned. This made Rai train that much harder, hoping that Kono would follow suit instead of feeding into the ridicule. Patience was the key, and he tried to teach his brother that.

At the young age of 12, Rai graduated with Kono. They were both Genin. They were determined to become greater than their father had ever been...
