Shikamaru 2

Background History: Shikamaru Nara was brought up on a deer-sanctuary run by his father, Shikaku, in Helena, Montana. For several generations their family has been running a successful conservation and breeding centre for endagered subspecies of Sika deer, Dybowski's sika deer and Formosan sika deer. As a child, Shikamaru enjoyed helping his father out with the herds and was content to do little at school. Due to his horribly lazy attitude, put in no effort whatsoever, safe in the knowledge that he had a secure future inheriting the family business. As a result, his grades were horrible and his teachers wrote him off as being utterly useless and doomed to a life of flipping burgers. However, at the age of twelve he surprised everyone, including himself, when a schoolwide IQ test revealed that he had an IQ in excess of 200. To the exasperation of all his teachers, and his mother, this newly acquired knowledge did not motivate him to do better, as Shikamaru was still as lazy and unmotivated as he had always been.
Due to the nagging of his mother and childhood friend Ino, and quiet entreaties from his father and other best friend Chouji, Shikamaru grudgingly sat university entrance examinations and not only aced the tests but was offered full scholarships to most of them. Even with such a remarkable and promising future laid out at his feet, the perennially lazy Shikamaru was on the verge of turning down all the offers until his father persuaded him to defer entry and go out and spend a year deciding what he wanted to do with himself, urging him to get away from the familiarity of the farm and to see more of the world and try to find his place in it.
"The world is at your feet, son. You owe it to yourself to find out where you belong.”
The funny thing was that Shikamaru had got himself a germ of an idea in his head about what he had wanted to do. He wanted to do something that he could do from home and get paid for that would still allow him the same freedom as he got from lying on his back and staring up at the clouds. Shikamaru wanted to write, and he wanted to write for the movies.
He must have sent a dozen scripts out to various studios when he finally got an answer back from one, offering him a position as an apprentice writer for Feel Good, Inc. Without thinking, Shikamaru packed up his stuff, threw it in the back of his car and drove from his hometown to Reno for what could be his big break.
Well... everyone has to start somewhere, right?
