Name: Namikaze Minato
Age: 45 (looks around 25)
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Hetero
Blood Type: B
Birthday: January 25
DNA: Evolved
F A M I L Y
Father: Unknown
Mother: Unknown
Siblings: Unknown
Children: Uzumaki Naruto
T A C T I C A L
Occupation: Scavenger (undercover Kouuya no Keisotsu)
Team (if applies): None
City/Dome: None (undercover for Konoha)
Evolution (if applies): Enhanced reflexes, space and time manipulation, limited particle manipulation (Rasengan)
Since birth, Minato has had a heightened awareness of his surroundings. He was actually born with nearly triple the normal amount of nerve pathways as well as a redundant nervous system, giving him inhuman reflexes and the ability to process and analyze the information his five senses feed into his body at speeds that are comparable to common computers. This evolution is mostly passive and in use at all times.
His primary evolution, however, is much more complicated and didn't develop fully until he was 20 years old. The cells that make up Minato's body continued to mutate through puberty and after. When they finally stabilized, his cells were able to use the excess energy from Minato's redundant nervous system to violate the laws of space and time. Electric impulses sent from his brain are able to scatter the electrons in the atoms of his body, causing them to exist in different places simultaneously. The atoms then reform and Minato effectively 'teleports' to a location of his choosing. This is often mistaken for his already inhuman speed.
The distance he is able to teleport is dependent on the amount of energy used by his nervous system to propel his electrons; or, in layman's terms, how hard Minato concentrates. With extra effort, he is able to teleport a person or a group of people with him, though this is usually harmful to anyone other than Minato as their cells do not operate in the same ways as Minato's do and the energy required means that Minato will be severely exhausted or even rendered unconscious. They can experience anything from nausea to their body being reassembled in a wrong way, making this a desperation maneuver only.
Minato has theorized on his own that with the proper amount of energy generated, he would be able to completely obliterate a person's atomic makeup if he were to make contact with them. The energy required, however, would kill Minato in the process. In a word, it's a suicide technique.
By reversing the charge in his electrons, Minato is able to attract oppositely charged particles. This most often manifests as a ball of charge particles that Minato holds in his hand. By slamming this into a target, the particles cause a concussive shockwave that can literally tear through a surface. This causes massive damage to organic and inorganic targets alike, but it takes a lot out of Minato. He prefers to use his katana or his pistol. Minato has dubbed this attack the “Rasengan Effect” or just “Rasengan” for short.
A side-effect of Minato's cells and their unique chronometric properties means that he seems to have stopped aging. Actually, he is aging much more slowly than normal people. Although he is 45 years old, he appears to be no older than 25.

Calm and collected are the two main adjectives used when describing Minato. No matter the situation, he is able to keep a level-head and remain calm. He is extremely intuitive and intelligent, able to quickly analyze and process information as well as understand complicated concepts with little to no explanation. Even when under extreme duress and in dangerous situations, Minato can keep his composure and formulate extremely effective strategies.
Minato is a respectful and kindhearted individual. He doesn't hesitate to help out those who need it and who can't help themselves. Despite his big heart, Minato is willing to kill his enemies in cold blood. Those who cross him, interfere with his mission, or threaten people he cares about can expect to live no longer than a few moments. He is fiercely protective of those closest to him, especially his son. He is also unflinchingly loyal to Konohagakure and would sacrifice even his life to defend his home.
He has a natural charisma that attracts people with like-minded goals. Minato is very driven and determined and will usually go to great lengths to do what needs to be done. Despite his serious nature, he has a light-hearted side that he shows often. People generally feel at ease around him.
H I S T O R Y
The start of Minato's life was relatively boring. From a young age he always excelled in everything he worked at, due mostly in part to his unique evolutions. He led a relatively easy life until he joined the Kouya no Keisotsu and began to put his talents to more combat-oriented roles for the sake of the dome. Assigned to a team under the tutelage of a man named Jiraiya, Minato made a name for himself as one of the best the Kouya no Keisotsu had ever seen.
At a young age and while still undergoing training, Minato met and fell in love with a woman named Kushina. She had been one of a few that had survived unique experimentation. Some people considered her a monster, but Minato was one of the only people to actually get close to and develop a close bond with her. He saw past her unique traits and got to know the woman for who she truly was.
Because of her unique traits, she had been kidnapped by a group of fanatics intent on using her to further the evolution of the human race. Since Minato was one of the only people that was really close to Kushina, and being the observant person that he was, he tracked the group to an abandoned warehouse and rescued her. From that moment on, Kushina returned his feelings and the two began a relationship.
After a colorful and very decorated career in the Kouya no Keisotsu, Minato was offered the position of being Konoha's newest Chancellor. He was the youngest ever given the position, but it was because of his keen intellect, natural leadership abilities, and fiery desire towards bettering the dome. Under his leadership, Konoha experienced a golden age of prosperity, excelling and advancing at an incredible rate.
This wasn't a good thing for everyone, however. Minato began to make enemies. The other domes became extremely jealous of Konoha's advances, and they feared for the balance of power if a technologically advanced Konoha should emerge as the superpower of the wasteland. Even council members within Konoha itself were jealous of Minato's status. He was hailed as a hero and living legend amongst the common citizenry, something that not everyone appreciated.
Minato would begin the learn about this through his own observations. By the time Naruto was born, he'd thwarted several attempts on his and Kushina's life by assassins. Kushina's condition began to deteriorate, and more and more people began to have a negative view of her even if she was the Chancellor's wife. After her death during one of her rampages, Minato withdrew into mourning.
He did his best to raise the young Naruto on his own, but despite his natural leadership qualities, Minato could not be both father and mother to the boy. When Naruto was nearly five years old, Minato came home to find the house ransacked. It was then that he made up his mind to do make his own sacrifice in order that Naruto would be able to lead as normal a life as possible.
After conferring with Tsunade and designating her as his successor, Minato quickly put his plan into action. He informed only a few, close friends of his intentions and made it known to them that he wanted them to take care of Naruto in his place. Knowing that another attempt would be made on his life, Minato waited. He didn't have to wait long, and when an assassin hiding in his office attacked him, Minato killed him and disguised his body before lighting the office on fire. The body was burned beyond recognition, and Minato made his escape.
The whole dome mourned the loss of their hero while a select few knew the truth. Minato had become a Kouya no Keisotsu once more, working undercover as a scavenger and reporting directly to the new Chancellor, Tsunade. He ventured out into the wastes, leaving behind the home and the son he loved so much. Minato spent his years wandering the wasteland, honing his evolutionary talents and gathering intel on the other domes as well as other settlements that were less fortunate. This information would be sent back to Tsunade.
When he could, Minato would always ask about Naruto and his progress. Upon hearing that his son had joined the Kouya no Keisotsu, Minato couldn't help but smile and shake his head. One day he'd probably meet him out in the wasteland. Would he remember his father? Only time would tell, and time was something that Minato had plenty of.

- Has a pet fox that follows him everywhere he goes and seems to be immune to the harsh atmosphere of the wasteland.
- His abilities have earned him the nickname “The Yellow Flash”
- Minato operates under the codename "Raiden" (the Japapense god of thunder and lightning) in order to keep his identity a secret.

Minato smiled softly as the small child picked up the trinket and examined it.
“I found that just the other day. Do you like it?” the blond asked, staring down at the young boy and at the scavenged items he'd spread out on a blanket to sell. Though not his primary job, he still had to keep up the appearance of a traveling scavenger, and that meant selling bits and pieces of things he'd found on his journeys.
“Yeaaaaah, mister! How much for it?”
His blue eyes widened a bit as he regarded the excitement on the kid's face. Grinning and looking back and forth for anyone watching, Minato knelt down to eye-level with the boy and rested a hand on his shoulder. “Tell you what. I don't think anyone else here even cares about that thing. How about I let you have it for free? You just have to promise not to tell anyone I'm giving away my stuff, okay?”
The boy's mouth dropped open and he nodded vigorously.
“Alright then. Better go before I change my mind,” Minato laughed, patting the child's head and watching as he turned and rushed off with all the speed his little legs could muster. As he stood back up, he felt something press against his back.
A low voice spoke, “Step back into the alley. Don't make any sudden movements or we'll blow your head off, got it?”
Minato raised his hands in the air and slowly stepped back into the shadows. As soon as he was out of the street, he was thrown roughly against a wall. He wheeled around on his heels and stared at his assailants, two men with handguns pointed at his head. “No need for this, really. I'm just trying to make a living guys,” Minato said quietly. He looked around, noting that there were no other exits than the way he came. That meant going through his captors.
“Shuddup you scavengin' piece of shit. Give us everything you've got on you right now. Times are hard, and we've got to make a living as well.”
“Mugging someone isn't making a living,” the blond replied, narrowing his eyes.
“Let's just kill 'im and get outta here.” The two men grinned wickedly. The taller of the two nodded and pointed his pistol at Minato's head. Blue eyes focused in on the man's finger on the trigger. Just as he saw it begin to move, Minato made his own move.
In an instant he was beside the man about to fire his gun. He reached up and grabbed the attacker's wrist and jerked his aim to the side. As the gun went off, the bullet hit the other man in the temple, killing him instantly. Minato didn't stop there. He forced the man's arm down, and the second bullet entered the man's foot. The sound of bones breaking and flesh ripping was topped only by the man's terrified scream as he dropped on his knees.
Minato let go of his arm and clutched the mugger's head. With a twist and a pop, it was all over. The attack took less than three full seconds.
He moved quickly to gather his his wares. Suna's androids would no doubt have heard the commotion. Taking one last look at the alleyway, he moved without hesitation towards the crowd in the marketplace in order to blend in. Minato would have preferred to have resolved the situation peacefully, but sometimes there were just no room for negotiaions.
