BIO

Shikamori Nara is the grandson of Shikamaru Nara and Temari. He was born in the Village Hidden in the Swamp after the restructuring of the shinobi world removed the clan's original hometown of Konohagakure. He is the younger brother by 3 years of Shoku Nara. His childhood was very much that of a spoiled younger brother. His parents made up for the clan's outcast nature in the village by giving Shikamori everything he ever wanted. When he was 4 years old his father bought him a shogi board and taught him how to play the game. Shikamori demonstrated the Nara's trademark genius strategical strength even at such an early age. It was clear that he had talent. His father trained him in ninja arts starting 2 years later, disguising them as clever games for Shikamori to play. Shikamori loved the games and learned very well. When he entered the academy a year later, he was surprised to find out the games he had been playing were really the techniques all ninja are required to learn.

His academy years were mostly spent lazing around, either staring at the clouds or doing nothing. Since he had basically mastered everything already, he had a lot of free time on his hands. No one wanted to play with him, so the only thing he could do was face his father in Shogi matches over and over, which eventually got boring as his father was quickly outclassed by him. After that, he would basically laze around all day, unable to do anything else. Eventually however the boredom led to restlessness, he had to find something to do, so he resorted to bullying. If the other kids wouldn't accept him, He would just force them to let him play. While this worked, it led to almost everyone in the class hating him. He had one friend however, an Akimichi who had moved to Swamp by the Name of Chou. Him and Chou grew very close and eventually Shikamori stopped his bullying ways. They graduated together from the academy when Shikamori was 10.

Description: Shikamori is taller than most kids his age and also weighs more, which gives him a sort of commanding presence over the other kids. He wears his jet-black hair up in a spiky pony-tail common among the clan members. His clothing consists of a brown shirt with a loose-fitting short-sleeved tan jacket over it, and a pair of jeans. He prefers casual dress to that of a regular ninja because he feels that regulations are too strict and he's too lazy to conform to every last one of them. He always has a look of tiredness or boredness on his face and he yawns constantly.

Personality: Shikamori has a very laid back personality that masks a hidden intelligence. He hates work and often procrastinates or delegates his work to others with promises of payment, which he usually ends up working his way out of actually giving them. In battle however, his strategic flair shows through. He will plan out and set up traps and moves long before he actually needs them. When he loses he will mope about and re-play the battle in his head, wondering what miscalculations he had made about his opponent, or trying to discover flaws in his strategies.
