IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Suigetsu Houzuki.
Age: 16.
Canon: Naruto.
Canon Point: Chapter 593.
Species: Human.
Gender: Male.
Orientation: Suigetsu's canon sexuality is unknown, so it is open for many interpretations; it is significant to note that he is very a brazen and broad-minded individual -- this is regarding many things in the series, i.e. life, aspirations, death and relationships. I'll be pegging him bisexual, but predominantly homosexual due to… hilarious naked scenes in the manga with Sasuke that are… painfully canon…

History: Plot | Character.
Appearance: Link.
Personality:

Suigetsu can readily be described as a handful. Easy to talk to, but extremely difficult to deal with, he has always given the impression of someone with a one-track mind, ignorant of most other issues around him in favour of his own goals. An ambitious soul, he focuses on and has his life revolving around the fact that he will rule absolutely over the infamous Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a team of elites from the country he hails from. He has vowed long ago that he would collect the seven swords and lead this group, restoring it to its former glory.

Passion for the art drives him - he can prattle on for extended periods of time about exotic swords and the team he intends to take under his wing, as seen when he's talking to Karin, Juugo and Uchiha Sasuke, his teammates. It has been shown to be quite dangerous to insult his passion as he becomes irritated in an episode when Karin decides to mock it. Sasuke has to tell him to ignore it for him to calm down. He tells the stories about the swords with vigour, the only thing that seems to interest him, as seen when he's explaining the seven swords to his comrade Juugo; anything he doesn't care about is ignored or brushed off casually.

Indifference has a large bearing on everything he does. Suigetsu has been demonstrated as someone who is desensitized to the woes of those around him and is ever shown to be lazy and rather lethargic - though this is, in part, to the heavy sword he carried around and the condition of his body - frequently stating, "Aren't you guys tired? Let's take a break." Seeing death doesn't affect him and he deals with problems with a startling nonchalance. In their search for Juugo, Suigetsu witnesses someone die in Karin's arms and stares down at the body with only an, "Oh, he died." He doesn't care about much; this includes killing and his tendency to strut around nude as though he's fully clothed… as this does happen a lot in the manga and anime.

Even dealing with his own team, he has been shown to be particularly apathetic, especially when it comes to their feelings. This is obvious each time he purposely foils Karin's plans to be romantically involved with Sasuke. He brushes off her apparent love for the man and even goes as far as to say that one of his favourite things - his second favourite, to be exact, as he tells Juugo in the manga - is to mess with Karin and make her as miserable as possible.

He's rather mischievous in this regard; he teases Karin about Sasuke constantly and even pokes fun at Sasuke and Juugo about their curse seals making them ugly. "Who would have thought the cursed seal deforms people that much? Sasuke, do you get that ugly, too?" He has also joked around to put others to the test, as seen when he's first introduced. He threatens Sasuke right after the Uchiha saves him from Orochimaru's lair and then backs off with a cheery, "Just kidding!" This chipper attitude is a plus side to Suigetsu and despite the fact that he has an evil underbelly, on the surface he seems to be a very happy-go-lucky person unfazed by the world around him. He's always shown with a smile and has been since he was a child - as stated by Hoshigake Kisame, a swordsman Suigetsu is pursuing.

He deals with things that are odd with jokes, almost childishly, and he has a bit of a crude, blatant humour regarding things other people might find disgusting. This is seen in the manga when Suigetsu comments on the deformity of Yakushi Kabuto with a "Is this Kabuto? Kinda gross. This thing coming out of his belly looks just like a huge-" and had to be cut off by Sasuke before he could finish.

His relationships with others are seemingly nonexistent; the only people he seems to care for are his teammates Karin, Juugo and Sasuke. His flaws don't seem to count when he's dealing with his three comrades. Instead of indifference, he is loyal to a fault and has risked his life several times for the benefit of the group; the fight with the eight-tailed Jinchuuriki, Killer Bee, is a fine example, as he lets his team run away while he tries to hold the enemy back. This doesn't put a damper on his merciless nature, however.

Suigetsu is said to play with his victims by cutting off their limbs before beheading them, as stated by Kisame who declares him a demon and a prodigy of murder. He also still readily disobeys Sasuke several times, going against the leader's orders to spare everyone they can from death. He justifies this for himself with a "He'll forgive me" and "one won't hurt". It shows he does care what the Uchiha thinks about him. The things other people tell him don't resonate as well as they do when Sasuke tells them.

He has developed a kind of possessive nature over Sasuke, protective and possessive. He demonstrates this aggressively, an example being when he yells at Juugo for interrupting him when he's speaking with their leader, "Don't get in the way when I'm talking with Sasuke!"

Abilites:

- Able to change to liquify and solidify at will to and from the consistency of water (hydration technique).
