Personality:
When a villager hears the name "Otogakure", they generally think of a large and rather pathetic list of evil, vile and sick people and acts. Gennosuke can slip into that list in a sense, yes. Though he's probabally one of the most intriguing characters in the mysterious village.
Though Gennosuke seems to view himself as a strong believer in "Does a man not deserve to earn the sweat from his brow?", he seems to appear and act as a half-assed individual who just wishes to get his jobs over with so something more interesting can be done. His views on which way the village should face differ from others. Some say it's time to start anew and act as they wish, Gennosuke thinks differently. He believes their founder, Orochimaru, had the right idea. Power, strength and manipulation. It's the quickest way to the top of the ladder in which all villages secretly strive for.
Whilst on the job, be it spying or interrogating a captured target. Gennosuke always tries to make it easy for the Shinobi, violence isn't needed 24/7 after all, is it? Offering them a handsome sum of money or protection seems to intrigue the target into doing his bidding, even if it is outside the Kage's orders and is actually for his personal gain. Playing by the rules isn't always fun. Gennosuke also has a rather good touch at getting enemies to turn sides. Be it they ally with Otogakure or actually join the village is up to them, why ruin a healthy ammount of power when you can use it to your own gain?

History:
Young Life ---
Gennosuke was regarded as the most worthless out of his four brothers. Only his mother cared for him whilst his father focused on the other three. There was actually not even a thought in his mind to join Konohagakure's academy until he saw his oldest brother do so. He happened to be the second son to put himself forward, his younger and older brothers hesitated at first.
Still, Gennosuke Tano's father chose to still believe he was talentless and would never step past the genin rank. On the surface, it didn't even seem to phaze Gennosuke that his father acted like he was ghost, beneath the surface it was like a wild dog was fighting to break its own rusty cage.
Academy Life ---
The academy life seemed easy at first, nobody bothered to comment on what Gennosuke thought would be his weakness in strength. Heck, one of the Jounin even praised him for it. This made the Tano family member ponder, what if Gennosuke's father knew he might surpass himself? He always did rule the family with an iron fist. Maybe he wanted to keep it that way?
Despite his troubled home life, Gennosuke soon found himself quite close with his brothers, with the exception of his younger and 2nd oldest brother. Who almost seemed to loathe him for the abilities he possesed. Still, nothing majorly terrible had formed a black cloud in Gennosuke's future, yet...
Genin Life ---
Gennosuke was 11 when he finally graduated from the Academy, the second brother to have done so. His oldest had bet him by a solid year. Throughout the Genin life, Gennosuke's eyes widened and he realised that Konoha wasn't as, well...'Pure' as he thought it to be. There was some favouritism in the council, people pulled strings to get other people good positions and crime, well there wasn't much of it. When there was though, it was rather bad.
This changed Gennosuke's view on what was happening in the world. Each country needed a leader, one solid leader. Nobody behind them. Someone with an iron fist that makes the shinobi execute anyone that opposes. There would be no trouble, and no crime.
His protests got so bad at somepoints that the current Hokage at that time was warned about the child. Tabs were kept on him as he seemed a liability to his Genin team mates. Gennosuke even believed he should do his missions on his own as they just held him back from what he really could accomplish.
Chuunin Life ---
Still having kept an eye on him, Konohagakure slowly slid their eyes away from Gennosuke who had just now achieved the Chuunin rank at the age of 17. This enraged his father to the point he demanded Gennosuke leave the Academy as it was stressing his mother out. Little did he know, his own father abused his mother to agree. Nearly doing so, his oldest brother told Gennosuke what he had heard from the fight with his mother and father.
The dog had finally broke free from the cage.
Waiting until his father was asleep, Gennosuke attempted to choke the life out of him with the very hands he said Gennosuke could do nothing with. His final breath of air was interupted as Gennosuke's brothers came crashing into the room, only to find a gasping old man and an open window with a full moon.
On the run, Gennosuke found himself stranded, cold and hungry. He was sure that death would come round soon enough to pick him up. It wasn't until he accidently stumbled upon the boundary between Otogakure and Konoha that he was captured by several Jounin. They refused to believe he wasn't a scout and brought him to the Otokage before deciding he would be kept in the dungeons for years.
Special Jounin/Alternative Path Life ---
Days turned to months, months turned to years and the years. Well, they seemed never ending. In a sense he idolized the Otokage, this was how a country should be run. Though, sadly Gennosuke was on the other side of the stick. Sunlight seemed to be a myth down in the dungeons, some people were born in there and had never even heard of the word. The only light came from tiny cracks in the bricks and a candle in the holding cell which would be changed every week. Gennosuke could hardly see in front of his hands with it though.
Like most sadistic people though, Otogakure enjoyed giving their prisoners a false sense of hope by giving them appeals. It took thirteen solid years for Gennosuke's appeal. By this point there wasn't even a clue in his head where he was. In his appeal he just shouted and screamed about how Otogakure reformed him and the views and politics about here were the right way to go.
Playing on whatever sanity Gennosuke had left, they accepted his appeal and were ready to let the nutcase out of Otogakure when he started to insist that he wanted to spend his days here. Deciding to see how it would fold out, they agreed and slowly, Gennosuke became a new reformed man. It only took about two years to sort his mental health out, afterwards he was placed in the interrogation and scouting unit of the village. For once, Gennosuke felt like there was something in life worth having. That was power, and glory.

Gennosuke's Jutsu:
Technique Name: Whistle sound jutsu.
Rank: D.
Element: Air/sound.
Style: Ninjutsu.
Description: The sound shinobi emits a high pitched whistle within ten feet of the enemy, this might throw the enemy's co-ordination off balance.
After Effects: Uses chakra?
Exclusive? No, it happens to be a well known sound jutsu.
Technique Name: Elephant cry Sound Jutsu.
Rank: B
Element: Air/Sound.
Style: Ninjutsu.
Description: Much like the whistle jutsu, the user gathers a large ammount of chakra and cups his mouth with his hands before bellowing. This jutsu can rip up the terrain in front of the user and enemy for up to around thirty feet. It can be dangerous if the enemy is caught up in it.
After Effects: Throat may be damaged if jutsu does not go according to plan.
Exclusive? Very few sound shinobi know this jutsu.
Technique Name: Composition beatdown.
Rank: A-Rank.
Element: Earth.
Style: Taijutsu.
Description: By basing attack paterns or power on notes, Gennosuke can land quick crotchet standard 4/4 timing notes like any casual punches. Slowly, the Oto Jounin can build upon this, until he reaches a powerful crescendo.
After Effects: If performed for sometime, Gennosuke's body will need several days, if not weeks to recover from the energy lost in battle.
Exclusive? Gennosuke's speciality, may be taught to some.
Technique Name: War drum Sound Jutsu.
Rank: A-Rank.
Element: Air/sound.
Style: Ninjutsu.
Description: By focusing a vast ammount of chakra into his hands, Gennosuke slams into the ground in front of him to create a vast eruption of sound and explosion of the ground, making it a deadly technique that covers around forty feet. Those who avoided the debris but still caught in the sound blast may be temporary deaf or unable to make their body's motor skills to function properly for five minutes.
After Effects: May be left wounded by debris.
Exclusive? A well respected sound jutsu.
Technique Name: Tune-up, Tune-down
Rank: A-rank.
Element: Air/Sound.
Style: Ninjutsu.
Description: Much like the 'Bad Soundwave' jutsu, "Tune-Up, Tune-Down" requires an object such as a gong or other. The same procedure is followed, except instead of making the oppenent bleed, Gennosuke plays around with the pitch. Meaning the enemy can be in agony from a shattering high pitch within one bash of the gong, or face crushing low, flat pressure pitches from another.
After Effects: Drains Gennosuke a good deal of chakra.
Exclusive? This is one of Gennosuke's few torture/interrogation jutsu.
Technique Name: Bad scent.
Rank: C
Element: Earth.
Style: Genjutsu.
Description: This is a rather simple jutsu for the more advanced shinobi of Otogakure. By simply performing several handseals and placing their fingertips to the ground, any tracker shinobi will be thrown off the trail if they are inexperienced enough.
After Effects: N/A.
Exclusive? A common sound jutsu amongst Jounin and Chuunin.
Poison Mist: Gennosuke can only use this jutsu hardly and no more, the enemy must be face to face with him before he can blow out a thick purple fog which will slowly bring down the oppenent unless cured.
Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Technique: The user, emerging from the ground below the target area, pulls down (or possibly swaps places with) the opponent so that only their head is above ground. He first learnt this in Konoha.
|RP Example|
First Person Point of View:
My footsteps slowly caught up behind me as I froze to a sudden hault, the atmosphere in the empty old catacombs of Otogakure had changed once more. It almost seemed these walls were alive, and screaming at me to find secrets left within. Why should I take care of its problems though? I only use this route for my morning and evening run. Nobody here but us dead, incessant staring ghosts in which I cannot see.
I was curious though. I, Gennosuke, a believer in ghosts? Possible. I have saw enough weird things go on around the empty/desolate ruins of the old parts Otogakure. Though I was pretty straight forward when it came to life. You live, perform good deeds or bad deeds which will alter the world and those around you. Then you die. Nothing more. You can't just 'miraclously' make a return from beyond the grave and attempt to continue your goal of conquest or justice. No archaeologist will find your body and attempt to use your DNA for their own needs. No, admit it. You'll die. Like the rest of us.
I really should take my own ideals seriously though. I mean, I've not done much to change the course of the current situation amongst the countries, have I? All I've done was nearly strangle my bastard father to death and lost my mentality for thirteen years.
So I realise now, I'm not one hundred percent right. I'm still here, ranting about ghosts and DNA. I'll get my sanity back 100% someday though, even if I have to spend another few years in the hospitals of Otogakure.
Third Person Point of View:
Hardly anything seemed to be going Gennosuke's way. Everything in the interrogation room had been misplaced by the moronic apprentice that was studying directly under another Jounin. His captive's face showed great confusion as Gennosuke continued to thumble blindly around the cabinets.
"Erm, are you not meant to be paying attention to me?" The Amegakure Chuunin asked, turning his neck slightly to get a better view of the enraged Gennsouke. His arms flailed in the air, suggesting the Ame shinobi to shut the hell up.
"Where in god's name is the bloody scalpels. I'll hang that moronic apprentice by his genitalia next time I see him!" Gennosuke thought, emptying a drawer onto the floor. Nothing but old bits of paper, tongs and matches for the candles.
It took ten minutes but he finally found them, what type of asshole leaves a box of medical scalpels in the waste bin? They were perfectl--
"Put them down." It seemed the Amegakure sewer rat had unstrapped himself. Foolish kid didn't even know what he was getting himself into.
Holding a scalpel in his lips, Gennosuke dropped the rest on the floor, with the waste and matches.
"Now turn round, I have my eyes on you. Nothing stupid. I can launch a kunai into your eyes quicker than you could possibly blink."
"I'm sorry, I hardly doubt that. You see...You'd need vision for that!" Spinning round, Gennosuke blew the thin medical scalpel from his lips. Sending it straight in between the eyes of the Chuunin. Now this was a predicament. Indeed. How would this rat be able to see the look in Gennosuke's eyes when he's in his face, making each wound seem like an endless walk in the desert?
