Susanoo (スサノオ)
God of the Sea and Storms
The Calm Storm
Some call him "The Calm Storm", Others call him "That one farmer that stole a sack of rice from me a few days back", But whatever the locals may think of him, Susanoo is only trying to live his best life, And maybe sneak a few helping hands to the mortals every now and then.
Several millennia ago, Susanoo, Along with a handful of other beings were created by Ahriman as a way to boost the gods population a little more. Among these other figures, Was his Sister, Amaterasu, Whom he had formed a strong bond with very quickly, A bond that has lasted all the way up to the present day. Izanami, Seeing this bond form, decided to guide them (And the others) to becoming acquainted with the "World" Around them, Quickly forming a bond with both of them.
They enjoyed each others presence a lot more than the others, Something that had been noticed by the rest of the gods. Though it was less a friendly bond and more of a familial one, With Izanami falling into the motherly role. A few hundred years go by and by now most of the gods see them as a family, So naturally, The three decide to go along with it.
Going a little closer to present day, Susanoo mainly spends his time fishing, cooking and going into the towns to either talk with people or to trade. Although he would much rather be spending his time helping the mortals, Not just in Takahara, But all around Erethes.
However, Due to his sisters rulings, He is not allowed to interfere in any mortal activities or problems, Or he will be banished from the Prime Material plane, Forced to live in either Takamagahara or another alternate plane of his choosing, If he wishes it. Susanoo would much rather live among the common folk rather than his fellow gods, So he abides by the rules for now, Waiting until a threat he deems big enough to arrive, So he can break the rules when absolutely necessary.

Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Due to his godly nature (And the ungodly amounts of cardio he works into his day), He is surprisingly Fit and very Cut. Though he is still really skinny, You can definitely see his muscle mass.
He is also moderately healthy and enjoys keeping on certain diets from time to time, Though the whole alcohol situation helps to hinder that idea.
Facial Features
He has a sharp jawline, Squinting eyes, smaller ears and a resting sulk face. Often accompanied with either a trimmed beard covering the entire jaw and top lip, A goatee or an Archer Beard.
He's practically the living reason why these features immediately come to mind for most people when thinking about the "Wandering Ronin" type figure.
Identifying Characteristics
He often wears a straw farmers hat everywhere, No matter where he's going or what the climate is there. He also will have a piece of either wheat or straw in his mouth, Though he does tend to forgo this one a decent amount.
His most noticeable feature would almost certainly be his weapon, As it looks far too expensive for a simple farmer to be wielding it. Not to mention that the blade itself has a slight mist floating around it at all times, Though most people don't seem to notice this one for whatever reason.
Apparel & Accessories
Often wearing a straw cloak of sorts paired with either a Kimono or Very casual traveler's clothes underneath, He combines it with a straw hat, a few sheathes and some pouches to really complete the look. This is what he'll be wearing almost every time he's seen in public.

Social
Contacts & Relations
Susanoo has many trading and merchant contacts through out Takahara, Though all of them believe that he is an ordinary farmer.
Social Aptitude
He is very calm and understanding about almost anything, This leads most people to believe he is just overconfident. Though he doesn't care much for etiquette, He has great manners and will often surprise people with just how respectful he can be.
Mannerisms
He will often rest his hand on the pommel of his sword at all times, And will shorten his words a lot more than most people. (Ex. "Ain't you gonna do that too?")
Less Redneck and more Cowboy type speech.

In his downtime, Susanoo actually really enjoys fishing or making new friends, Though it's mostly the fishing part he likes the best.
Speech
The most common phrases you'll hear from him are things like "Ain't that a damn shame." or "Happens to the best of us.", Most of the time he'll just use gestures for Greetings and such.
He only really uses swears in his normal speech to accentuate the importance of an idea or to seem more down to earth, Never to insult or attack.
Relationships
History
Upon forming the second batch of gods within the Abyss, Izanami felt that she had to help guide this new set of beings. Eventually forming a much stronger bond with Amaterasu and Susanoo over the others, Becoming much more of a mother figure rather than a simple guide. At some point a few thousand years later, Susanoo was going through somewhat of an identity crisis, And when he went to ask his mother for help, She turned him down, Stating that the balance of the underworld had to be kept and she couldn't stop tending to it because of something "Not nearly as important".
