Personality: Kurisu is a good person. In the land he was born in, Japanese culture was actually not a major influence. In fact, they had a culture much more similar to that of America. He was originally named Christopher, or Chris, but upon his family's moving, they took on a more Japanese orientation. True that his village was influenced somewhat by Japan, as it was considered japanese, and was a shinobi nation. However, japanese was not the main used language, and Kurisu had to learn it when his family moved. He is a pretty good kid, doesn;t like getting into trouble, but at the same time doesn;t like putting up with stupid people.

He has never truly known love in his life (other then a mother son kind, or father son kind .. a little less.), only lust. His parents died when he was 14, during the family's voyage to their new home. At this time he learned to develop a more hardened demeanor, and kept to himself a lot. He learned to protect himself from others, a nessecity above the seaward vessell.

But since attending school in Konoha, he has grown to develop a crush on one boy in particular, though he doubts he would ever divulge the secret. Similar to most of the girls in his grade Kurisu has a bit of a crush on Uchiha Sasuke.

He likes dating, dancing, dining, lounging around, playing and watching football, and flirting, all of which are activities he prefers to do ith boys.

With his girl friends, he enjoys what they call "Girl, and Kurisu time". THey spend hours at the mall, shopping, checkign out boys...... generally being horomone driven teens.

He dislikes fighting. Though it is often a nessecity, he attempts to difuse a situation first at every opportunity. He also dislikes discrimination. And not just in the form of Homphobia. He can be sen often befriending the outcast, or the small fry. THis is because for so long, he himself was the outcast, and was discriminated on for his seuality. People who take part in discrimination are often the cause of most fights Kurisu ends up in.

Rank: Student.

~Pick 1 or 3: Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu [Sword],

summary of history:
Kurisu was born in the village hidden in the night. More specifically, he was born as the heir to the most prestigious family in the village, possessors of a powerful Kekkai Genkai.

He grew up fairly normally, though he always felt different from the other children... not only because of his wealth. When he was 11 he discovered why. He learned his secret when he developed a crush on one of the boys he went to the acaemy with. When he told his parents of this, his father's reaction was disgust. Though Chris didn;t understand it, both parents knew he was gay. The heir to their family name would never produce a son or daughter.

Over the next 2 years Chris never spent time with his fathe,r who still harboured hatred towards the boy's "Problem". In fact, the next time his father would do anything kind fo rhim would be the day the village was attacked.

A chuunin at the time, Chris was not scared when the village wa sinvaded, not knowing the full extent of the matter. It turned out that an elite squad of assassin nin were sent specifically to target his family, and eliminate their Kekkei genkai from the face of the earth. Chris faced the intruders, dispatchign two of them, but having a hard time with the third. He would have been kileld that night, if not for his father. With a sneak attack, Chris' father killed the man with his kekkei genkai, before continuing to use it to mask the family's escape.

The mother father and boy boarded a boat, full of poor refugees, and drunken sailors, and set out for a new home. They all then changed their names to Japanese correspondents, Chris' new name becoming Kurisu.

At 13 Kurisu then lost his parents. It was a sacy time. Not only was the boy truly alone for the first time, having no family or friends, but he was also aboard a ship, which had not seen port in a long time.

He became a target by some of the ship's crewmen, them knowing of his sexuality, thought he would be fine with them..... killing the urges. He wasn't.

Kurisu barely slept for a long time, keeping his eyes peeled. ONe night, one of the crewman got bold, and decided he didn;t care, and would overpower Kurisu. With a quick display of a thought to be deseaced Kekkai Genkai power, Kurisu killed the man. When other crewman got word of this they soon laid off the boy... completely, no one even spoke to him.

By the age of 16 they finally landed in the land of Fire, and Kurisu traveled to Konoha. There he enrolled in school, where he is today. No one knows he is the survivor of the Santo clan, in fact, not many in this part even know the Santo clan ever existed. He ries often to hide his kekkai genkai, for fear that the fmailiar triats of it may give away his identity, and put him on a hit list once again.

Looks great... approved
