Basic Information

Name: Izaya Orihara
Nickname: Information Broker
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Clan: Uchiha
Looks: Izaya has the appearance of someone who is extremely cunning and crafty, some people would go as far as to tell him that he looks like a fox, an image that he lives up to. Izaya wears a black short sleeved shirt under a black hoodie line with fur at the cuffs and hood-He leaves his hoodie un-zipped most of the time. On his left hip, he keeps his sheathed katana. He wears twin rings on each of his index fingers which some say metaphorically symbolizes how his heart does not belong to any individual person (Instead of proposing with a wedding ring, it’s as if he’s married to himself).
Personality: As his appearance entails, he is quite cunning and clever and confident individual. He claims to “love all humans” because they are the most interesting creatures on the planet. People often describe this love of his as an unnatural complex for humankind. He gets pleasure by putting people through miserable and chaotic situations to observe their reactions. His love for humankind is never returned and most people view him more as an eye sore than anything. Though he does love all humans, his love does not and has never belonged to one specific individual, including his family. With a thorough understanding of human behavior and tendencies, he is able to determine people's thoughts and predict their reactions with high accuracy.
He has a very jolly and mocking personality, speaking informally with most people as if they are close friends and often using nicknames. Izaya likes to play a twisted board game which involves moving a combination of Chess, Othello and Shogi pieces on a Chinese Go board. He plays this game by himself in his room. The combination of games may be a representation of the many plots being acted out throughout the ninja world, illustrating how Izaya watches over and manipulates the various people .The rules he plays by are also beyond normal people, which seems to be a metaphor for the way he lives his life.
Although Izaya enjoys conflict, often showing up wherever there is potential for one, he usually stays out of it, preferring to observe the fight instead of directly taking part in it. However, when provoked, he quickly puts his opponent in his place, simply proving his superiority without actually beating the other person. Therefore he is usually seen as the one starting fights, but hiding in the shadows instead of directly taking part.

Background Info
History: Izaya was born in Konohagakure and up until the Academy, Izaya was a model student: the vice president of the student council, the star at all the activities that were held in Konoha. This combined with his good looks and a respectable family made him well known, especially with his girl classmates. However, Izaya was not particularly loved or hated since he went through school life in a withdrawn state, preferring to observe everything from afar, carrying out his life philosophy to be 'neither too close nor too far' from the others.During afternoon breaks and such, other students would talk in the classroom or play in the courtyard, but since Izaya would always be in the library, he gave people the impression that he was a loner. But Izaya enjoyed being a step away from his surroundings. He knew he was a top student, however, he didn't think the people around him were idiots and didn't look down on them.
At this point, his observations are not used for ill, rather a simple hobby, but slowly it was turning more and more into an obsession.
His calm life changes after meeting fellow student, Shinra, who immediately assesses Izaya's personality and tries to convince Izaya into creating a club for the young shinobi attending the academy. At first, he declines his offer and after that, he continued living the same life he had in the academy, while keeping an eye on the human called Kishitani Shinra, but one day he suddenly understood: Shinra was his opposite because unlike him, he has no interest at all in human beings. This confuses Izaya who eventually agrees to become the Vice President of Shinra's club so he could study him more closely.
When a club expo was scheduled, Shinra left their presentation entirely in Izaya's hands and, much to Shinra's surprise, Izaya turned the whole club into a gambling ring with one of the other members, Nakura, serving as Izaya's business partner. Shinra tells Izaya to stop but gets brushed off each time. One day, after making a bad bet, Nakura comes in brandishing a knife and threatens Izaya to give back all the money he lost. When Izaya refused, Shinra jumped in the way of the knife at the last minute. It is then that Izaya realizes he is extremely jealous of Shinra because of his ability to separate himself from the world because of his love for Celty. Izaya then asks Shinra to tell everyone that Izaya himself was the attacker and promises to make Nakura pay for as long as possible for what he did. After the incident, Izaya is taken into protective custody and, from then on, continues to create an infamous reputation.
He was later enrolled in the academy with Shizuo, Shinra and Kadota; although, Izaya rarely attended class. He shares a passionate hatred for Shizuo and from nearly the moment they met they tried to kill each other. Izaya claims Shizuo is the only human he does not love and wouldn't mind seeing him dead. Shizuo tries to kill him every time they meet around the village, meaning Izaya often finds random trees, trash cans and other large objects flying straight at him. Shizuo finds him untrustworthy, saying whenever there is trouble, "99% of the time you're (Izaya) behind it." Izaya had often framed Shizuo for crimes he didn't commit, causing him no end of trouble. During this period, Izaya begins to collect "followers" for his own purposes, of which most are traumatized teenage girls, ranged from gothic lolitas to gyarus (though the majority of them simply took Izaya to be a fortune teller of sorts) who would do whatever he said and worshipped him in an almost cult-like fashion (like Saki). Most of them were usually depressed and/or suicidal and have all been victims of pretty severe levels of violence from their families or lovers. Those girls were lost and desperate for someone to believe in, making them especially easy to use. They weren't really in love with the families or boyfriends concerned, they simply put their faith in them. All Izaya did was shift their faith to him. If he wanted them to die, they would probably have gone ahead and died, even if they had doubts. Izaya's fans conflict between the students, leading to a protracted period of unrest. Shizuo rises to local fame after he becomes the center of this conflict despite his wish to remain outside of it.
The day Izaya vanished was a happy day for Shizuo. Izaya was just at a bar in Konoha and there he started to drink with some unknown people, that was the last thing he remembered. He then woke up in Amegakure, the village that never stops crying. Izaya was confused as he didn't know how he got there but he wasn't scared. Izaya decided to stay in Amegakure and there he met a few people that helped him develop his skills as a shinobi, still he hopes to one day return to Konoha but only as a visitor.
