Kōsen Hayabusa

Kōsen Hayabusa (鷹を交戦, Hayabusa Kōsen; Japanese for Warring Falcon) is the father of Nesshin'na Hayabusa, and a Chunin of Getsugakure. His wife died in battle some years ago, and he fell into despondency, eventually recovering but never being able to improve as a ninja because of a mental block that developed. Because of this, he became known as the Eternal Chunin, and remains such at the age of twenty-nine.

Appearance
Kōsen is of average height, with long orange-brown hair that frequently covers one side of his face. He wears a red beret-like cap, and black pants, as well as a shirt that varies in color, normally red or purple.

Personality
Before his wife died, Kōsen was cheerful, and could always lighten the mood. He never let harm come to anyone, and would go to great lengths to do even the smallest good deed. After his wife was killed in combat before his eyes, however, he became despondent, and lost his will to improve, becoming depressed and attempting suicide. During this time, he could see no reason to care about anything. Eventually, he overcame his depression, coming to terms with his wife's death. He had forever lost his entirely upbeat personality, but could smile again, and laugh at his own troubles, though whenever his wife is mentioned, his eyes turn dark and he is silent. He will do anything to try and save another person from suffering the loss of a loved one, as he did.

History
At age sixteen, Kōsen married, and a year and a half later his wife had their child, Nesshin'na Hayabusa, whom his wife trained in her clan's sealing techniques. However, when Nesshin'na was only four, Kōsen's wife died, and he became depressed. After two years and near suicide, he began to recover, but developed a mental block and could never regain his drive to improve, becoming trapped as a Chunin.

Taijutsu
Kōsen is skilled at armed taijutsu combat, with many weapons, some carried on him and some sealed in scrolls. He possesses a single tessen, or iron war fan, which he is proficient with. He also wields tekagi-shuko, which are metal claws he wears on his hands, and are useful in close combat, as well as two yawara, stick-like weapons with knobs on the end that are used for initiating throws and blocks, as well as generating blunt force. After the arrival of the Konoha-Getsu Treaty Squad, he came into possession of some of the gifts they brought, being granted to him by the village of Getsugakure. These were several weapons made by the crafter Iou, and some people commented that for the first time he appeared to improve, and that he might be able to revive his will to practice in the near future.
