► REASON FOR POSITION

What is it that sustains a village?

Economy. In order to afford the basic needs of the general populace in a civilized society, money must be made and kept in constant flow. That way everyone is expected to be able to get food, water, clothing, a roof. Kaze no Kuni has been defined as a country with little money throughout most of its history and Sunagakure has inherited this trait. Or at least that's the way it was during the first half of Shokujo Jidai.

Despite Monzaemon Chikamatsu's huge efforts and economic revolution which allowed the founding of Sunagakure to ensue, the village consistently remained one of, if not the, poorest out of the five Great Nations. The vast desert landscape of Kaze no Kuni bore no useful natural resources to speak of, and the country was left to depend on ANBU Bunraku's military-cultural entertainment profits for most of its income.

All that was ruined during the war. As tensions rose between Kaze and Tsuchi due to this very issue of money the world was plunged into war and soon even the people who contributed massive economic progress were dying. Once more the country's economy was degraded into a poor excuse of a sustainment. Until Sakata Tōjūrō did something about it.

You may ask: "What in the world could possibly help a desert population make enough money to restore itself economically?"

Gold. Lots of gold. For many generations the people of Kaze no Kuni dreamed of the desert hiding something valuable under its endless barrenness, but it wasn't until Tōjūrō came along to dig up Gold Dust by the ton that anyone ever made that dream a reality. And it was greater than anyone had ever imagined.

While he was the only one capable of extracting mass amounts of gold with his rare genetic mutation, soon there were gold mines being established all over the country in locations deemed rich through his magnetic powers. Following Sunagakure's near-destruction at the hands of the Nidaime Hokage in 23 SHJ, it was Tōjūrō's efforts that saved the country this time around, at least economically.

Such were the origins of the rise of "Kin Saō", the Golden Desert King and Sunagakure's greatest adviser ever, as the Nidaime Kazekage seven years later.

► POLITICAL STANDPOINT

Given Sunagakure's history, it's not difficult to arrive at an accurate conclusion of what Kin is like as the Kazekage. Money is obviously one of his favorites, but what about other things? Lets see what his take is on several things, including the aforementioned.

Ideology | Even as a person, it's difficult to view things in a different manner than one would with a leader mentality. There is one thing to abide by at all times: Do something good for the village. It doesn't matter what it is, just do it - as long as you get something productive out of it that will help. In this sense he will encourage even underhanded tactics to be employed in a desperate situation or otherwise.

He is naturally a big supporter of Sunagakure's cultural development. Arts and entertainment have always been a big plus in his eyes as he's lived among puppeteers and performers of all kinds growing up in Sunagakure. Something derived from the economic issues that the village has had to face. Even if he likes that his people be pro-money, he doesn't want them to worry about not having enough money.

While a strong appreciation for his village's artistic culture stems from this, one downside to his views may be that he can be overzealous when it comes to getting more money. As a leader this may be both his strength and his weakness.

Economy | So how does that work, being overzealous about money? Well. Two things may happen.

The Good: Having this kind of leader sets the village on a money-acquiring overdrive. It's important to note and not at all obnoxious to repeat Kin's incredible achievement of bumping Sunagakure's economic status among the Great Nations from the poorest to the second richest. So the country has definitely benefited from having Kin as an authority figure, and basic needs are no longer things whose scarcity is a problem. As more resources become affordable, more shinobi are healthier, and more income is made, in turn increasing funds more and possibly being able to improve the village's infrastructure.

The Bad: Having this kind of leader sets the village on a risky road to international conflict. There's a generally peaceful flow of cash between every country, and when too much cash flows in or out of one, the imbalance usually has repercussions (like when Amegakure was targeted by both Iwa and Suna). At the same time purposeful actions may cause things as adverse as any repercussion or more. For example, Kin obviously had nothing against trying to destroy Konohagakure and sparking a war just to take down the economic giant for Suna to come out on top.

Military | When it comes to his shinobi forces, Kin is all about efficiency. Just like his predecessor who found a practical way of employing his unique skills outside of battle to still benefit the country, Kin has used his own to further improve the economy. He tends to reflect this sort of quality on his soldiers as a sort of wishful thinking - thinking that puts them on a sort of pedestal to become shinobi who aren't just soldiers.

For this reason he doesn't encourage numbers or brute force too much, but rather how to use what you have. He pays attention to and can easily identify people's strengths, weaknesses, and habits, using this skill to efficiently assign his subordinates to the jobs they seem to be most suited for. So he tends to focus more on how to raise his young shinobi than on mass-producing ninja left and right.

Relations | Something very common in the ninja world, Kin thinks of his own country as being above all else. He doesn't think much of other countries and has no soft spot for any of them - if any alliance were to be made, it would be purely out of necessity or for some advantage. Needless to say he'll definitely take a treaty into consideration if the perk is money. He's also just as likely to bear his fangs at a country if that will also help him get the economic upper hand.

Kin especially loathes Sunagakure's neighbors: Iwagakure and Konohagakure. Kaze no Kuni has struggled throughout most of its history while those two have sucked up the majority of the money. However, he thinks no more of the Lesser Nations. It's a bit like a situation in which two desperate starving persons come across a loaf of bread, but one must have it. Nonetheless, he can sympathize. It just takes some equal rewarding to get him to sign, preferably if it's related to money.

Goals | Money. It may seem a bit excessive to focus so much on it, but in a country like his own things go south quickly if they become hectic, and poverty is the number one thing to avoid. Whatever it takes to keep money coming in and flowing, he will do it. There may be a constant here or there compared with leaders of other countries, such as seeking and using the power of a Bijuu, but there are other, more devious things that may be approached.

One of them is seeing what can be extracted from Sunagakure's half of the Amegakure Ruins, and another is "poisoning" the land of the neighboring countries - Tsuchi and Hi no Kuni of course. Kin figures that there may be valuable things of the past under those ruins that may just come in handy. And if he can cripple his rival countries' production of goods while simultaneously taking up the same production, well, great.

Mental &Physical
EVERYONE IS A VICTIM TO THAT ATTRACTION, YEAH!

► APPEARANCE

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 160 lbs.
Eyes: Green | Deep-Set
Hair: Blonde | Long
Distinctive Traits:

Kin has often been called the most beautiful man - even by other men. Of course this is because he's so beautiful that he may strike others as feminine. Even his golden hair, silk to the touch, looks like that of a woman's being long enough to reach the middle of his back. Not that men can't have long hair without it making them less manly, but the way Kin styles it doesn't exactly speak "masculine". Only some hair framing the left side of his face is left loose, along with his bangs which reach down to his eyes, as the rest of it is tied into a bun on the right side of his head, leaving a few shorter strands out on his neck which just slightly graze his upper back.

His eyes, gorgeous emerald gems, are one of the two things that will always help distinguish him. The other one is a slim chain connecting the lip and ear piercings on the right side of his face, which is long enough to reach the top of his face. All three pieces are golden. The ear piercing in particular three large rings, each with a bridge-like spike with blunted ends above it (the bottom of the third ring is what the chain is linked to).

Standing at 5'11 Kin is somewhat tallish. His body shows not an ounce of fat to speak of. Instead it stands firm with an amazing tone that can only be appreciated through the tight markings it leaves on his attire. First thing he wears is bandages. Cloth wrapped around his entire body from neck to toes. The only skin that breathes direct air when he wears this is on his head. In total these amount to about 80m. Next he wears black, skin-tight yet elastic pieces for both top and bottom; a sleeveless piece whose neck covers half of Kin's own, and a slightly-longer-than-knees piece for pants.

Over this he wears a green kimono with intricate, undecipherable designs that are a shade or two darker than the background color. It is seldom worn normally however, as the top portion is held up only by the sleeves which are worn up the forearms. The rest is left hanging, just like the Kage garb worn over it; both these robes are kept from falling to the ground by a golden sash tightly worn around the waist. He also keeps his Kazekage hat loosely strapped around his torso - diagonally from the left shoulder to the right side of his abdomen - with a string of sorts.

Special Abilities
EVERYBODY HANDS UP!

► Special Traits

Mummification Rebirth

Summoning

Jiton[Sand-Type]

Sunagakure's sub-type of Magnet Release employed by utilizing one's magnetic chakra to manipulate "metal sands" (metallic materials in powder form). As each Metal Sand is composed of a specific substance (e.g Iron Sand, Gold Dust) every user is accustomed to a certain one, and so one cannot manipulate others. The only exception is by Specializing in Kekkei Genkai[Jiton | Sand-Type] which would allow one to manipulate a second Metal Sand.

Kekkei Genkai[Jiton | Sand-Type] is made up of three parts: Max Volume, Versatility, and Construct Consistency. The first refers to the maximum volume of Metal Sand that the user can manipulate at a given time, the second one refers to the user's ability to form different levels of objects with the Metal Sand in terms of complexity (can be thought of as "Technical Prowess"), and the third refers to how strong an object constructed out of the Metal Sand can be (hence "consistency", as in consistency of the Metal Sand).

Whenever Sand-Type Magnet Release chakra is molded, black rings reminiscent of insomnia's side effect appear on the user's eyelids.

Possible Volumes:

[/sup]
[Unlocked @ D-Rank Kekkei Genkai[Jiton | Sand-Type]]
[Tiny Consumption | Tiny Constant]

• "Pond" → 1m³
[Unlocked @ D-Rank Kekkei Genkai[Jiton | Sand-Type]]
[Low Consumption | Tiny Constant]

• "Stream" → 3m³
[Unlocked @ C-Rank Kekkei Genkai[Jiton | Sand-Type]]
[Lowest-Margin Medium Consumption | Tiny Constant]

• "River" → 10m³
[Unlocked @ B-Rank Kekkei Genkai[Jiton | Sand-Type]]
[Highest-Margin Medium Consumption | Low Constant]

• "Lake" → 25m³
[Unlocked @ A-Rank Kekkei Genkai[Jiton | Sand-Type]]
[Large Consumption | Low Constant]

• "Sea" → 50m³
[Unlocked @ S-Rank Kekkei Genkai[Jiton | Sand-Type]]
[Lowest-Margin Immense Consumption | Medium Constant]

• "Ocean" → 100m³
[Unlocked @ SS-Lv Kekkei Genkai[Jiton | Sand-Type]]
[Midway Immense Consumption | Large Constant]

• "Shukaku" → 300m³
[Unlocked @ π-Lv Kekkei Genkai[Jiton | Sand-Type]]
[Highest-Margin Immense Consumption | Immense Constant]
[/ul]
Versatility:

Construct Consistency:

[/u] Strength & Endurance as is impossible to separate them in "Consistency"][/ul]
Diamagnetic Materials are repelled by magnetic force rather than attracted by it. Therefore it is possible to manipulate such materials using Jiton. Due to this difference versus magnetic materials there are some things that are affected when manipulating diamagnetics: -1 Versatility and +1 Kunai Speed to all techniques involving a diamagnetic material.

There may be similar differences depending on the Metal Sand being manipulated. The "standard" one is Iron Sand, the only one guaranteed to have techniques whose Max Volume, Versatility, and Construct Consistency will remain with the same potential as the Kekkei Genkai[Jiton | Sand-Type] Skill Rank will allow.

Kin Saō's signature Metal Sand is Gold Dust [X].[/blockquote]
