Dordonii Bankei

Personality:

A lovable and feisty character, Dordonii is an unruly and charitable man who likes to do things his own way. He is short-tempered and is typically aggressive or assertive when he talks. He does not have any of the passive traits that a monk is expected to have. He is, however, a very spiritual and enlightened devotee, completely dedicated to learning religion and the writings of the Buddha. He seeks universal truth behind the blood and battle in the world, and although not seeking world peace at all, he does want to see a better place in the world. He is his own monk in nature, shunning his teachers as corrupted and misguided, and rather follows the true enlightenment that the Buddha has left for them. He does not like to be told what to do, but rather wishes to be guided. Dordonii likes to fight in the most sparring kind of war as possible. This can include him playing around and goofing off. He likes to help the poor and aid disfigured children. He does not like bullies. After leaving the temple, he has begun his own spiritual journey to find enlightenment just as the Buddha did, starting with his home village of Kirigakure.

History:
Born in Kirigakure during a decent economic and political period, Dordonii had a common upbringing. However, when he turned 2, his district turned into a bloody civil heap of gang warfare. People who desired to control the neighborhood where Dordonii resided in, as authorized by the higher-ups in Kirigakure, decided to terrorize the villagers by beating anyone who opposed them into a bloody pulp. He lived in a bad time where killing was common. His family was all too obedient to obey, afraid of losing their lives and Dordonii's. Disgusted with what he has seen, he had grown a full resentment of humanity and society. He'd sometimes join in on the beating, often sparring with other kids for the fun of it. This is where he learned a street-variant of savate. Sometimes he'd meet someone who opposed the neighborhood takeover and beat them to a pulp. He didn't really care what was going to happen.
His parents saw that this had an adverse effect on Dordonii's mind, and sooner or alter he'll become one of the gangsters. So they sent him to the Academy to gain some military manners. Dordonii was interested in Ninjutsu, and so was not so reluctant to study it. he excelled mostly in Taijutsu, though. At the age of 6, he graduated from the Academy.

Sent on with a Genin team, he learned traditional Savate as an art form. He developed the Wind element and through practice he got good at the ninja stuff. After two years as a Genin, he went on to the Chunin Exams. He failed at first, but learned from his mistake, and passed on to be a Chunin while he was still 8 years old.

As a Chunin, the gang warfare grew and became much worse. He was horrified at the fact that no ninja intervened. He asked for permission to put down the rabblerousers, but was denied that. Angered, he went out of his way to ambush several of the gangsters, which landed him an arrest and detainment. Constricted, he lost hope in the ninja cause and military faith. If the ninja were not to protect the people, then why were they here? Are they just puppets for the Kage?
When he got out a few weeks later, he was suspended from his ninja duties, said that he was too young and naive to follow the path of the Chunin. Losing his ninja way, he returned home bitter and disorientated. His resentment of humanity, his feelings of despair and lost, overwhelmed him. He demanded his father to give him a reason to continue living, or else he will commit suicide. Equally distraught, his father contacted an old friend - a monk from the Fire Temple. Wishing to preserve his son's life, he wanted to send Dordonii on to live among the monks. They traveled to the Fire Country and arrived at the Fire Temple, where the ninja monks agreed to take him in. This was the last time Dordonii and his family said goodbye to each other.

At first, Dordonii was unsure of whether he was fit to learn the ways of the Buddha. It seemed too religious to him. Too much bullcrap. But he had heard that these teachings would levitate one's suffering and allow them to "transcend" humanity. This is what Dordonii wanted. He opened his mind and obeyed them, and was slowly indoctrinated into the arts of the ninja monks. Although they spread the word of the Buddha, they were also warriors that could be employed to act against a severe enemy. Thus, Dordonii learned how to fight from them. He trained his body, building its strength, durability, and agility through many agonizing, intense exercises. These physical exercises were ridiculous and outlandish, and were enough to scare the normal man. Even Dordonii himself was frightened at first, but his desire for growth and adventure helped him take it. After he had a tough enough body to break concrete blocks and to withstand being jabbed by a couple of spears, he learned how to utilize the Gift of the Hermit Group chakra, which was basically a "purified" form of chakra; without any human dilution. This chakra took a holy form, shining and golden. This chakra brought back warmth to Dordonii. He learned many different fighting styles like bojutsu and soujutsu, as well as different barehanded techniques. This fitted very well with his physical body training. He would spar with other ninja monks his age every day, not to see who could best who, but what the other could improve on. He found an elder monk who taught him a more Savate-based style, called Horse-Boxing. Emphasizing the power of kicks and leg strength, Horse Boxing is focused on powerful, bone-crushing leg attacks while the hands/arms were used to guide the rest of the body to follow along with the leg attacks. The hardest part was the mental/emotional training. Dordonii had to be observant, patient, and learn to listen. He was not good at this at all. He also had to suppress his emotions, which he did learn to do to a mild extent, but still did not do it. It took him a year for him to believe in the monks' Buddhist teachings, which allowed him to enter into a state of complete, blind faith and finally draw on the holy chakra, most often at its peak. As the holy chakra was the chakra of belief and faith, this was an important aspect of Dordonii's teachings. Although Dordonii had belief and faith, he doubted the authencity of the teachings. He thought some of them were too otherworldly for him. Although he did follow the general cause with great passion, he substituted some of the monks' teachings with his own interpretation. Still, he became to know himself as one of the ninja monks of the Fire Temple. He trained under them for more than 13 years, finally growing up to be the strong, powerful man he is today.

At age 22, Dordonii had became a full-fledged ninja monk on par with the rest. He had mastered Taijutsu and the intermediate stages of the Buddhist Ninjutsu. He had gained the body and mind he wanted. He had finally alleviated himself from the suffering that he had. yet, he still felt a void in his heart. Like he was missing out on life. He missed his parents and his curiosity got the better of him. On one missionary, he had gone to Konohagakure. There, he witnessed a murder, but no else seemed to notice. He pointed this out to the police, but the police he refused to acknowledge him. It turned out that on the streets, there are some thugs who had enough influence to even manipulate the military. He was extremely upset that the same incident that occured at his home village happened in what was supposed to be the greatest village in the world. He realized that no matter where he went, peace would never follow him. This is where Dordonii started to think on his own and desired to go back to Kirigakure to help the vilalge get better. He left the Fire Temple, at the disapproval of all of the elders. He passed the hot-pot test, and was permitted to leave, but was banished from the Temple and warned to never return ever again.

He returned to Kirigakure, happy that after a new reign, the village had gotten far better. But there was still crime on the streets where the authorities refuse to look at. His mother and father had died, just a month before he returned home. He appealed to the new Mizukage, and was granted his Chunin ranking back. Afterwards, he developed his signature Buster Gale Twister technique, which would earn him a moderate name in Kirigakure. He continued to master his techniques and abilities, hoping he can use them in battle one day.
