Nero is a 5'9" long man who has an extremely pale skin. His eyes (even his pupils) and his hair (which is straight and is long enough to reach his waist in the back) are also white, giving him an appearence which most refer to as "similat to that of a ghost's". He has a built body, his muscles being the main part of his weight. He wears a black coat t-shirt on his waist, which are held with two parts of coats, each standing on one of his shoulders. On it, Nero wears a long black coat which is long enough to be able to cover his knees. He also wears black pants and long black boots underneath.

• likes ;; Silence, darkness, wind, rain, his friends
• dislikes ;; Sunny days, shiny items, hot days, boredom, talkative people
• talents ;; Ninjutsu, observation, learning
• fails ;; Listening well, Concentrating easily, obeying rules or orders
• persona ;; Nero is a calm person who is usually equally silent. He isn't as silent around is friends, as he is around strangers though. He doesn't make friends easily, but has completely loyalty over the ones he has. He tries to treat anyone the way they deserve, though he is, once again, less judgeful over his friends.

He likes silence, and enjoys being in silent places, as the same also applies for darkness. Being in the kind of areas like this makes him feel more comfortable, which also allows him to enjoy the time he is spending there, be more happy with whatever it is he is doing, and concentrate easier. This is pretty important for him as it is usually hard for him to concentrate, unless there is a conversation, training or a battle that greatly interests him. He is rather lazy for most of the time, unless, once again, there is a certain event that he is interested in.

He is rather protective over both the people he has acknowledged (be it his friends, comrades, or allies) or merely people there are a art of the village his is bound to, Jokigakure. He would give it all he has to protect those, as he would try to help them in any way he can, be it a way to use his ninja skills, or not.

The only kinds of people Nero especially doesn't like are talkative people, and people who underestimate others, or overestimate themselves. While he would try avoiding talkative people, Nero would try teach the other two kinds of people a good lesson.

• history ;;

Born into the world of shinobi as a member of the Arashi clan, Nero was the second and last son of a shinobi family. Ryuu and Rukia, Nero's parents, were both Jounin-level shinobi that served the Jokikage, the one before Chishiki Evens Arashi, Nero's cousin (who was 2 years older than Nero). Unfortunately, they both died before being able to see neither Evens becoming the Kage, or nero becoming a Sannin... Anyway, we'll get there later... At the age of 6, Nero was already aware of the ninja, what their pupose was, how they worked, what the ranks were, what chakra was, what jutsu was, and most other basic knowledge about the ninja world. It is not just because his parents (and his big brother too, by that time) were ninja, but also because he was really interested about ninjas.

So, it was obviously inevitable for him to join the ninja academy when he became 12 years old, and both his parents and his brother Kai were aware of it. They all backed him up in the path he chose, especially his brother. With a huge help from his brother, Nero easily graduated the academy when he entered the Genin exams for the first time. After that day, the day he became a Genin, his brother wasn't anymore a teacher to him, but a comrade, who was now training with him, instead of helping him with his training. His brother always seem to like having him around.

He never had too many friends, nor was he ever "popular" in anyone's opinion. He had been called a "ghost" for his unusual look, the other children making fun of him, or worse, unseeing him... Nero grew used to that, becoming silent, not talkative, "unsocial", as he never got used to having friends. This caused him to be a person that never really tries to make friends with anybody, and a person that doesn't have a problem being alone. This was one of the main reasons he didn't get distracted by other things, being able to focus on his ninja life easier.

His genin years were certainly (in his opinion) the best years he has lived. Many important things happened, most being amazing, making Nero cheer up every time he thought about them. He was now going to missions alongside his brother, and his parents. He was learning a lot from them... More from what he has learnt in the academy or from his sensei anyway... Being on the same mission with his parents and brother made Nero feel older, and comfortable, but most impoprtantly, more like a ninja...

The genin years were also the one that Nero first made a close friend. The boy was from the Hyuuga clan, which was actually the reason they have met each other, the boy having pure white eyes and such. The boy became the first real friend Nero ever made. Unfortunately, a short while after this meeting, Nero's whole family, his father Ryuu, his mother Rukia, and his brother Kai (whom Nero cared about more than anybody else) have been assassinated by a missing-nin that has broken into their house, and was in the village for the only purpose of assassinating Nero's family. Nero never understood the reason behind that...

The event made Nero enter a trauma, changing his personality from day to night. He was, from that day on much more silent, much mroe careless, and "numb". His friend, Juro Hyuuga has tried countless times to cheer him up, change him back to the Nero once. It is not quite obvious if it is unfortunate or not, but Juro never succeeded in his trials. After that point, Nero had only one thing to focus on : His ninja career. That's why he has started training or going to missions more often, and not leaving any spare time for other activities, spesifically not social activities...

Since the event led Nero to focus on his career more, he became a chuunin, and then a Jounin before anybody could realise. Nero, being honored by that, focused on his career even more, giving it even more than he got (even though it was rendered impossible) to do the right thing. This was also, without his awareness, causing him to stretch his limits, becoming more capable, developing his skills easier, as he would unlock his true potential. He has been on countless dangerous missions, which had one thing in common: missing-nin opposing the village...

Nero was, unluckily, never able to find and locate the murderer of his parents and brother... Until some day, he heard from Juro that the missing nin was hiding in another village. He left the village (with permission) to hunt down the missing nin. Juro had also followed him, both in order to assist him and make sure Nero would be alright. He wouldn't have wanted Nero to get harmed by the missing nin too. On the way, the Hyuuga gave more info about the ninja to Nero.

It turned out that the missing ninja was one that has killed countless shinobi from all the major villages that existed in the time being... Nero's grudge even gew stronger after hearing about that... Nero thought about how many kids have fallen to the situation he himself was in, and how some of them weren't even strong enough like Nero, to be able to take care of themselves easily... He realised that this man couldn' have been left to live, no matter what the circumstances were...

When they arrived at the place, Nero did not spend time on investigating man, after he has confirmed that the missing ninja was him... They emerged in battled, but their attack was obvious, because of Joru. They have fought a battle that lasted hours, which resulted with both the missing nin's, and unfortunately, Joru Hyuuga's death... Nero had many wounds, but the only one deep enough to leave a mark was the one that was one his right cheek. That mark has stood there as a memory from Joru, the missing-nin, and Nero's family, that the ninja has killed...

After the execution of this deadly missing-nin, given countless other missing-nins Nero has killed, and countless other things he did for the sake of the village, he was, at the age of 21, given the title of "Sannin", the "Sage of Light", the special title being given due to both his appearence, and the fair judgement he has... He first thought of leaving the village to become a wanderer, and report to the village once in a while, but by that time, his cousin, Evens Arashi would have also became the Jokikage... So that was a reason that would be enough to make Nero stay in the village...
