Name: Jaguar D. Saul | Nickname: Gentle Giant | Gender: Male | Age: 40 | Clan: Akimichi/Hyuga

Looks: Saul is a fairly large person, much in line with what could be expected from an Akimichi. He has long, orange hair and a big beard that seems to connect around his entire face, which somewhat resembled a lion's mane. During his time as a shinobi of Konohagakure's police force, Saul wore a heavy white coat along with a suit and tie. However, after his defection, he discarded it. When he crash-landed on an unknown island, he wore a black shirt and gray jeans that were a little tattered. Also, as a shinobi, he had worn a police force cap, but upon his defection he exchanged it for a cowboy's hat. He has a large mouth with rounded teeth, and often tears up while laughing, giving him a kind and gentle appearance despite his size.

Personality: Saul is a big and friendly man despite also being somewhat shy and timid. He is fiercely loyal to those he deems his friends, though if they betray his moral standards he has no problem standing up to them. It was his moral code that led to him deserting his shinobi comrades, as they were tasked with destroying a peaceful clan for what he thought were immoral reasons. He also justified his choice of defending and individual from that clan after seeing a former colleague destroy an entire ship of innocent citizens, who held no related crimes to the incident at hand. Saul is also characterized as having a unique, but awkward laugh (Dereshishishishi). He enjoys seeing others laugh and having fun.

Background Info

History: Jaguar D. Saul's mother was a high ranking member of the Hyuga clan's side branch, and his father was a member of the Akimichi clan. For a long time she looked down on herself as she was always taught the main branch of the clan was superior. Though she was aware of the absurdity in this belief, she still couldn't escape it; it was etched into her body through a seal on her forehead. As Saul's third birthday approached she became more panicked by the thought of her child being engraved with the same mark. Three days before the ceremony, she convinced his father to flee with her and Saul and live outside the village, where the clan couldn't find them. Their attempted departure was discovered, forcing Saul's father to stand his ground and buy time for them to escape. It was difficult for Saul's mother to find a new home following their departure from Konoha. Going to any of the other main villages or their allies meant certain discovery. Instead she ended up settling down in Amegakure in a village on the outskirts. While it was a dangerous place, it was also a place where people were able to disappear. Its here that Saul was raised.

His mother was never properly trained in ninjutsu or taijutsu while in Konoha, but she was still able to pick up some fighting technique from observing others. Using these skills she did her best to protect Saul and teach him how to fend for himself. Eventually the duty of protecting the family was transferred from her to Saul. Around this time, Saul came to be friends with a female shinobi, Akiza of the Black Rose. She was a talented kunoichi and took him under her wing, teaching him a wide variety of ninja combat styles from the basics to even more advanced techniques. She recognized his byakugan from past battles she had with Hyuga clan members. During one training episode, Akiza revealed the history of his byakugan to him and told him if he wanted to unlock his eye's true potential he should return to Konoha and seek training. Saul understood, and knew living in the small village was not safe for him nor his mother. However when explaining the situation to his mother, she refused to leave with him, as she came to call Amegakure home. Akiza offered to watch over his mother while he made the journey she knew he had to go on. And so he embarked on a journey to his home.

After leaving the Hidden Rain village, Saul wandered through a large and rainy forest. The forest only seemed to become more dense while the trees stretched to unimaginable heights. Much to his surprise, he came to a large clearing filled with a massive city of stone temples. It seemed deserted as they walked down the main road, but something was off. Saul activated his Byakugan as a precaution, and it paid off. Two bodies crept towards him from his sides, and lunged at him, claws and fangs exposed. In a quick battle he was able to defeat the two cat-like beasts. Upon doing so a booming voice echoed through the city, "Xblanaque, Hunahpu......Enough!". The two Jaguars dragged themselves to their feet and looked at Saul. One of them spoke, "Its been a long time since a human was able to defeat us, stranger. I believe Tez-sama wishes to speak with you." The Jaguar motioned for Saul to follow, and proceeded towards the largest temple at the end of the main road.

They entered the temple which opened into a huge chamber. In a large stone throne sat a massive jaguar, who introduced himself as Tezcatlipoca, the God of Jaguars. Tezcatlipoca explained to Saul that he had wandered into their sacred city, Tenochtitlan, of the Nakukiurin (Crying Tree Rainforest); something that no human had done for many years. He thought it was fate that guided him along that hidden path and he was impressed by Saul's ability and decided to train him in the Jaguar arts, and let him sign the contract which none had done since a shinobi named Sin had done so. Over the next several months Saul stayed in this city, learning the secrets of the Jaguars. After the training was complete it came time for his departure and the continuance of his journey. As a parting gift, the Tezcatlipoca gave him the honorary name of Jaguar D. Saul, which he now prefers over his birth name of Saul Hyuga.

After departing the forest, he met several more shinobi. A man named Chiryoku helped further develop his taijutsu and a particularly unique, somewhat scary man named Nexus invited him to join his medical school. Seeing this as a unique opportunity, Saul joined the school and studied hard during the first few semesters. But at some point he began to slack off and discovered his love of food and alcohol. He ignored his studies, resulting in his premature expulsion from the school. Apparently upon expulsion the mysterious man used some sort of amnesia ninjutsu on Saul, causing him to forget all the medical training and knowledge he had learned. The trip had taken longer than he had expected, but the delays were well worth it, as he had become a powerful ninja.

Saul finally reached the village of Konoha and revealed his story to the Hokage of that time, Xylon, the Shodaime. He was given safe haven in the village and even given full citizenship. He quickly became assimilated into the shinobi force of the village and began developing strong bonds with the rest of the village. One man in particular, Scorps, was a promising young leaf shinobi. He also happened to be of the Hyuga clan. Saul became friends with Scorps and eventually learned to use his unique eyes to the fullest, and was taught the gentle fist fighting style. Not long after he arrived the Shodaime defected, and disappeared. A power vacuum was quickly filled by an ambitious, but unstable man named the Pervy Sage, who became the Nidaime Hokage. It was a short lived and tumultuous period in the village. Soon after taking control of the village, The Pervy Sage went mad with power. The village fell into chaos as Pervy did everything in his power in an attempt to destroy it, though his true motives were much more human. Pervy was desperately trying to gain the attention of the mysterious man who had once taught Saul his medical knowledge, Nexus. However, once he did, Nexus' wrath was swift. He brought thee ban hammer down upon Pervy, with all of its might and fury. Some say a smile could be seen on the Nidaime's face just before the hammer made contact, and vaporized his body.

With the Nidaime dispatched, a village wide vote was held to decide who his successor would be. It was a lengthy and nerve racking process, much of the village took this time to leave for greener pastures, but the loyal ones stayed. Much to Saul's surprise the village elected him to be the Sandaime Hokage. He was unsure at first whether he was Hokage material, but the support of the villagers quickly removed any uncertainty. The village entered a period of great cultural and economic prosperity, rebuilding its shattered structure. It was peaceful; the embodiment of the Will of Fire. But despite the happiness of its villagers the military force never recovered to pre-Pervy levels. This forced Konoha into alliances with several of the other hidden villages. This hidden alliance quickly pulled Konoha into a devastating war. Following the plans of a hidden mist kunoichi, Liliana, the leaf went to war and attacked Kumogakure along with members from other villages. This however was nothing but a trap set forth by the cunning mind of Liliana. Once the top shinobi of several villages laid siege to Kumogakure, the Mizukage stabbed them in the back. With the help of several of her ninja she set up a powerful forbidden jutsu set to destroy the entire village, everyone inside included. However, due to some....technical issues, the betrayal failed. Everyone returned to their villages and the alliance was shattered.

Over the next several months the actions of the Akatsuki increased, and Konoha was destroyed on several occasions. Rumors spread that the former Hokages, both Xylon and a recently revived Pervy were heading the organization. It was a difficult time but the hearts of Konoha stayed strong and everyone continued to enjoy themselves. Not long after Saul's 21st birthday he received a visit from Nexus. He was told that due to Konoha's apparent lack of military strength he would be re-creating the village hierarchy. Part of this plan was for Saul to step down from his position as hokage, giving way for a powerful and legendary shinobi named Izuna Uchiha. While it wasn't the best of news, Saul was somewhat relieved. The duties of protecting the village from constant attack had worn him down, and he was ready to move on. He knew the village was better off under Izuna and so he stepped down, retiring from the Hokage position.

The village went through an almost instantaneous renaissance. Not only had Izuna been made Hokage, but another legendary ninja named Scary Yamato had come with him as an adviser. Izuna also selected a Konoha shinobi and old friend as his second adviser, Scorps. Saul was also given the honor of setting up a village tournament for the shinobi. Despite the restructuring, the surge in akatsuki activity continued to plague the ninja world. Each of the five villages felt the heat from this group of spineless criminals. Seeing that the issue needed to be dealt with, the villages formed their own group, Tasogare. At the first meeting of the group Saul was skeptical. He couldn't help but be apprehensive due to the fact those who backstabbed him, Alucard and Liliana, during his stint as Hokage were sitting across the table. It was tense at first, but after some words of reassurance, he was able to settle down. The group discussed ways to deal with the group of criminals and found a lead on one of their hideouts. Scorps and Liliana departed to follow the trail and came upon one of the hideouts. Upon investigating they found that it had been abandoned. The cowards of Akatsuki had felt the duo's approach and fled the scene in fear.

Some time after those events, Saul had retired to a life of drinking and leisure. He had even opened his own bar where he could share he love of food and drink with others. He had even left Konoha and took up residence in the Land of Wind. At some point he had even joined Sunagakure and become an adviser to their Kage, Gaara. After a war in which Gaara was gravely wounded, Saul left the village and returned to Konoha. He reconnected with his old clan and continued to run his tavern, My Sweet Gluttony. His interest in food and drink led to Saul seeking out his father's clan, the Akimichi, who were renowned for their food and appetite, as well as their ninjutsu. There are rumors that a new powerful force has replaced Nexus, and plans to reshape it in his own image. Saul continues to train while the world has gone quiet as it waits for this rebirth to take place.

Blubber: With his love of food came the toll that comes to all Akimichi clan members, weight gain. However, unlike some of his brethren, Saul wasn't content with letting it be used solely as a store of calories and turned it into his very own shield, a layer of blubber.

(Shibou) - Blubber
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: This "technique" is the result of a high fat diet and years of drinking unhealthy amounts. The person accumulates a large amount of weight through the formation of a thick layer of fat around their body. The thick layer of fat acts as a cushion against incoming blunt attacks, greatly reducing the effectiveness of things such as punches or kicks. It also acts as a buffer between the muscles and organs of the body. For instance a cut that would spill the intestines of a normal sized person would fail to reach the insides of a person using this. It will still hurt and leave a large wound, but won't be life threatening. Being an anhydrous tissue, fat is a poor conductor of electricity. As a result the person is protected from paralytic affects from unfocused lightning techniques. While they're protected from the paralytic effects of the lightning, they in turn become burned in the fatty areas where the lightning meets resistance. They still receive the damage of the attack, just in the form of burns rather than paralysis. Fat is also a very good insulator of heat allowing the person to maintain a relatively stable internal temperature in cold weather, though they may be prone to heat exhaustion. The excess weight also reduces the person's speed and agility by the equivalent of two ranks. They also become susceptible to exhaustion causing them to be limited to two moves every third turn.
-Must be attached to the character's biography.
-Only available to "large" characters (i.e. Akimichi or reasonable Customs).
-Only affects areas where layers of fat accumulate.
-Reduces the character's speed by two ranks.
-Limited to two moves every third turn.
