**Miroku Oki** (ろクおきミ, *Oki Miroku*) is a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village. Miroku was born in Iwakagure but, due to unforeseen events, his mother faked her death and migrated to Konoha.

He was raised a shinobi in The Academy of Konoha. He was assigned to Team Urania with his teammates Fumei Hyuga and Yua Nakamara. He aimed to be good enough to not be scalded by his team and mother but not so good to create unfair expectations. He now is a Chunin who works on mostly solo missions to lay low from his superiors.

## Background

Several years after moving to Konohakagure, Miroku enrolled into The Academy to become a ninja, just like his father’s stories. He was a very ‘average’ student. Not too spectacular, not too underwhelming, just kind of there, for this reason he started to get ignored so he became the class clown, he learnt to make everything a joke, and learnt to laugh at himself. He is never rude or disobedient, just a joker.

He graduated from The Academy and joined his team partaking in standard D ranks and C ranks, he attempted the Chunin Exams once, at age 14, but failed in the first exam, so quit and deciding he wouldn’t need titles to get strong enough to make his mother proud.

During the Konoha Crush Team Urania was on mission near Sunakagure, here Miroku was stranded with a middle aged shinobi who taught Miroku some basic engineering and mechanical skills during a week long sandstorm.

## Personality

Miroku is a charismatic, carefree Bastard of his friends. Despite not being as suave as Sho, or as casually cool as Kenjiro, he still fits his own niche by being the carefree spirit he is. He doesn’t care much on what people think of him, and will do things he sees as ‘right’. He could be facing a thousand enemy shinobi and will find a way to make a dumb joke about it.

He never takes a fight seriously, which works well with his trickery based fighting style.

He believes in living his life without regrets, so will often face injustice whenever he sees it. Though this gets him in his fair share of trouble. His friends refer to him as ‘The Crazy Bastard’ due to his attitude while dealing with petty disputes.

However, due to his moral compass, he tends to get stuck in his ways, which are *usually* morally correct, but he is prone to making rash decisions based on minimal information.

## Appearance

Miroku is a fairly average 19 year old in terms of height and weight. He has a somewhat pale complexion but tans strongly in the summer. His irises are a soft orange/amber. He wears his hair in whatever way it was when he woke up, he may run his fingers through it and push it to the right if he feels like it. He has brown hair with a hint of slight maroon red.

Miroku typically wears his Chunin jacket over standard black shinobi uniform, when off duty he wears the uniform but with a light gray hooded jacket over it. He wears his kunai holster on his left leg.

## Abilities

Miroku is a competent shinobi. He has shown an ability to learn and adapt quickly. Miroku often surprises himself with his own ability. Miroku has all Academy jutsu understood and perfected, adding a spin on the Clone Jutsu he uses his nature affinity to create clones of rock and earth, these are physical clones but are only as durable as rock.

## History

Miroku’s mother, Nise, is the friendliest, warmest, and most motherly woman you would ever meet. She is known as the ‘town mom’ and will accommodate anyone who comes to her. She has been known to lend out her spare rooms to homeless children. She’s just the best.

But she’s a liar. She was originally a Chunin from the stone. She grew to hate her village, the ways they operate and decided to flee while pregnant with Miroku. Officially disowning her citizenship, she turns up nationless to the Leaf, where she was (cautiously) accepted.

Several years later, Miroku enrolled into The Academy to become a ninja, just like his father’s stories. He was a very ‘average’ student. Not too spectacular, not too underwhelming, just kind of there, for this reason he started to get ignored so he became the class clown, he learnt to make everything a joke, and learnt to laugh at himself. He is never rude or disobedient, just a joker. Despite his best attempts, he was put onto Team 9.

Despite being the top of his squad, Miroku’s team coasted until the Chunin exams, where he was the only of his team to pass. Since becoming a Chunin, he has completed 23 Missions; 8 D-rank, 11 C-rank, 3 B-rank, 1 A-rank.

Some of his highlights include saving a woman from a cursed spirit. (It was laundry clung to a scarecrow) Tracking down a cheating husband, and defeating a Jounin level threat.

## Relationships

### Nise Oki (Mother)

Miroku was very close with his mother, being his only caretaker. She would always laugh at his jokes (even when they fell flat). She understood her son and truly loved him and wanted the best for him. He keeps her necklace hidden in a box under his bed.
