~~~

Name: {real, alias, or nickname}
LJ Username: (a real journal is required here. a code is provided for you.)
Age: {your age}
AIM Screename: {required}
Past RP Experience: {you can use any example here. a snip from past logs or links to other communities you've been in. anything that shows us you've roleplayed before.

Character's Name:
Character's Age:
Character's Model: {whom you wish to portray your character; also known as your PB. please supply name and a sample image}

Major / Minor: {if applicable; if your character hasn't decided, say so} [see below]*
Clubs / Activities / Job?: [see below]*

Background History: {minimum 300 words - nothing is truly 'canon' in an alternate universe setting such as this. so feel free to go wild and use your imagination to it's fullest capability! creativity is very important here. if you plan on playing a character that depends on another for some aspects of plot [ex: Hyuuga / Zabuza-Haku / Orochimaru-Kabuto / Madara-Tobi-Izuna] do not write them in unless the character exists already in the community and you have planned something out with them. with that in mind, keep mentioning of another character in your application down to a minimum. your application is all about your numero uno character and that is the one we want to see the most out of.}

Personality/Likes & Dislikes: {minimum 300 words - there's bound to be quite a bit about your character that makes them a special snowflake. you have your chance to tell us about it right here. what are their talents or aspirations? details and more details, please. what makes them who they are and why? describe their personality to a tee. paint a picture with your summary and assume that you are the only one who knows everything about this character.}

Writing Sample: {minimum 300 words each - our requirement is for you to write both a first and third person sample in order to show your grasp on the character in the two formats that dominate the community. prompts are optional as they are only there to help aid you with the writing examples. feel free to be as imaginative as possible.}

Prompts:
- Interview
- Out past curfew
- This one time at ___ camp...
- First day of class / work / etc,.

He passed the necessary tests with mediocre marks, but what stood out was the fact that in all of his examinations, only a third of his papers had been filled out. He hadn't even bothered with the easy questions that didn't require thinking. But of all the questions he had answered in all of his examinations, he had scored perfect marks.

It was at the end of his freshman year in high school that the teacher confronted him.

"You're a genius."

Genius he was, but what was the point? Shikamaru scoffed at the accusation. But before he could counter with anything, the teacher had seen Shikamaru for who he really was. From then on, the warm summer days became a hassle, but he learned simple (to his standards) games like Shougi and Go. He learned to enjoy his teacher's presence, learned to appreciate his talents, learned to put his mind to some use. By his second year of high school, he still didn't get the best of all grades, but the improvement in his attendance showed.

Halfway through his junior year in high school, his teacher died in a car crash.

Unsure of what to do, Shikamaru went missing from home and school for about a week. Whatever happened during this time is only known to Shikamaru, but what the people saw upon his return was a glint of motivation in his eyes—something that he was lacking all his life. From that point on, his exam scores were consistently at the top of the class, and while his overall class average was nowhere near the top, it became apparent just who the smartest in the class was.

It was almost unfair to others just how fast Nara Shikamaru kept rising to the spotlight.

Personality/Likes & Dislikes: In all his proclaimed laziness, Shikamaru does get a lot of things done. He's efficient in the way he does everything, and for him, everything takes a shorter amount of time—especially when it comes down to studying. That's not to say that he's impatient—rather, he's the exact opposite of that. Always acting like he has all the time in the world, Shikamaru is accommodating to others regardless of his bitching and complaining. If someone asks him to do something, he will, because if there's anything that defines Shikamaru, it's his steadfastness as well as his reliability. It's too bad no one really expects this of him, due to his notorious reputation of being a lazyass good for nothing. No one ever bothers to look beyond his reputation, and he couldn't care less.

And because of his reputation as well as his current status in the school, Shikamaru can be distant from others. It's not that he's socially inept, but the fact that he can be an ass and not care. He's dry, sarcastic, and most of all, blunt to others, and if others decide to not look beyond his sharp words, so be it. In terms of his relationships with the people around him, it's questionable. Shikamaru is not the type of person to hate someone outright, but also not the type of person to fall head over heels over someone. To him, people are just there. But if someone gets lucky enough, maybe they'll be able to notice the subtle differences in the way that he treats others.
