Name:
Uchiha Sasuke
Age:
Twenty-eight
Gender:
Male
Rank:
ANBU
Village/Country:
Konoha; Hi No Kuni
Personality/Attitude:
At the start of the series, Sasuke's desire to get stronger is the dominating factor in his interactions with others and takes precedence over all else. As such he is initially unconcerned with the concepts of socializing, be it with his teammates or the many girls in his age group vying for his affection. Likewise, Sasuke is uninterested in working with Naruto or Sakura for the good of the mission, believing himself to be much more talented and that working with them will only make him weaker. Soon after the three set out on missions together, however, Sasuke begins to discover that these perceptions are inaccurate; Sakura is a valuable source of information, and Naruto is an effective ally and incentive to get stronger. As a result of these revelations, Sasuke begins to value his teammates more than he did during their first meeting. While he tries to deny this, his willingness to risk his life to help them even if it could mean never getting a chance to kill Itachi slowly begins to manifest, although this is partly influenced by Sasuke's belief that if he cannot fight in this battle, he will never be strong enough to face Itachi.
During the second phase of the Chunin Exams, Orochimaru notices this change in Sasuke's ideals, witnessing first hand Sasuke's valuing of his teammates' safety over his own. Having need for Sasuke's craving for revenge, Orochimaru brands Sasuke with the Cursed Seal of Heaven to give him a taste of the power he can have and steer him back towards the more "favorable" path of vengeance. Although Kakashi does what he can to weaken the cursed seal, discourage its usage, and give Sasuke other means of getting stronger, Sasuke comes to realize the potential the seal allows him. To test his newfound power, Sasuke begins to seek out strong opponents that he can fight, believing each victory he obtains to be an indicator of his growth. As time goes by, however, Sasuke becomes dissatisfied with the progress he is making in getting stronger, largely a result of his quick defeat by Itachi during their brief encounter. All the while, Naruto, someone he finds to be of lesser skill, continues to surpass him in ability, creating a sense of envy within Sasuke.
Ultimately, Sasuke decides to abandon Konoha in order to seek out Orochimaru and gain power. Naruto, sent to stop Sasuke from escaping the country, eventually catches up with him and pleads for him to return. Sasuke, believing Naruto to be his closest friend, decides instead to use the last bit of advice Itachi ever gave him: in order to gain the Mangekyo Sharingan, the highest power of the Uchiha clan, one's best friend must be killed. No longer valuing his teammates over his own self-betterment, Sasuke tries to kill Naruto and meets him in battle. Naruto, unwilling to let Sasuke go, fights with equal earnest, now willing to break Sasuke's body to bring him home. As the battle concludes, Sasuke attacks Naruto with his Chidori first while Naruto cannot make full contact with his Rasengan and merely scratches Sasuke's headband (in reference to Sasuke's claim that he couldn't scratch his forehead). As Naruto lies unconscious, Sasuke considers killing him, though upon realizing that that is what Itachi would want, decides to spare Naruto to find power in his own way. He goes to Orochimaru, ready to do whatever is necessary to gain the power he desires.
In Part II, Sasuke sees little change from his personality and mindset at the end of Part I, still craving power above all else. His lust for strength is such that, during his reunion with Naruto and Sakura, he claims to be willing to give his body to Orochimaru if it means killing Itachi. Sasuke has at least changed to a point that he no longer cares for his former teammates' well-beings, being more than willing to kill them since neither is of any use to him. His relationship with Orochimaru shows a similar lack of loyalty, as during their time together he applies no honorifics to Orochimaru's name, is somewhat rude to him, and does not express his allegiance with Otogakure by wearing a Sound headband. Of the loyalties Sasuke has, the only one he displays is that of the Uchiha clan, the symbol of which he wears on his back collar. Despite this lack of allegiances to those close to him, Sasuke seems to be unable to bring himself to needlessly harm those he has never met before, and makes it a point to prevent their deaths when possible.

Chakra Nature:
Lightning and Fire based
~Ninjutsu~:
Chidori Current-this jutsu allows Sasuke to cover himself in electricity, instead of just concentrating it in his hand. The electricity can be channeled anywhere, allowing Sasuke to enhance his attacks with it. Because it is channeled throughout his entire body and not concentrated, the electricity will only cause temporary paralysis instead of killing an opponent.
Chidori- This jutsu channels a large amount of chakra into the user's arm. The amount of chakra is so great that it becomes visible to the naked eye. The technique actually alters the nature of the user's chakra, effectively converting it into electricity. As a side effect of the conversion process, the large amount of chakra, and the speed at which the user moves, this technique makes a loud noise similar to many birds chirping, hence the name (if the user is not in motion, it merely makes an electric crackling sound). Once the technique is completed, the user charges forward and stabs their enemy with it. The amount of thrust combined with the large concentration of chakra allows the user to stab through almost anything; as such it is usually fatal to the enemy. This technique is classified as an assassination technique because of the speed at which it is performed, despite the loud noise it produces.
Katon: Ryûka no Jutsu- The user breathes fire along a cord or any other type of long object.
Katon: Gôkakyû no Jutsu- Utilizing a large amount of chakra, a large ball of flame is exhaled from the user's mouth.
Katon: Hôsenka no Jutsu- This jutsu sends multiple balls of fire at a target. It is also possible to hide shurikens within the fireballs, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack.
Sen'eijashu- This jutsu allows the user to project a number of snakes from their wrist or sleeve as they make a punching motion towards their intended target. The snakes can be used to inflict multiple wounds at a distance or hold a target in place. The snakes are even capable of poisoning the victim.
~Genjutsu~:
Sharingan- a powerful doujutsu bloodline signature to the Uchiha clan. With this eye, the user can perceive jutsu and copy them before they are even cast by reading the hand seals. Also, the user can see the color of chakra and where it is concentrated, which is often used to tell the difference between Bunshin and actual people. Genjutsu can be cast with it as well, but the most devastating are not unlocked until Mangekyou Sharingan is achieved by killing one’s best friend.
~Taijutsu~:
Shishi Rendan
Kage Shuriken no Jutsu- The user of this technique throws multiple large shuriken in such a way that the first shuriken hides the subsequent ones by blocking the line of sight. To the target, it appears as if only one shuriken was thrown.
Relatives/Family:
Brother-Uchiha Itachi
Father- Uchiha Fugaku
Mother- Uchiha Mikoto
Equipment/Inventory:
Kusanagi Swords, Kunai, Shuriken, etc.
Background/History:
The early years of Sasuke's childhood were spent living in the shadow of his older brother, Uchiha Itachi, who had proven time and again that he was an extremely talented ninja. Because of Itachi's successes, most of the members of the Uchiha clan looked to Itachi as the clan's future, the biggest proponent of this idea being Sasuke's father, Uchiha Fugaku. Due to this focusing on Itachi, Sasuke did what he could to prove himself to his family, though no amount of training could help him in surpassing the milestones set in place by his brother. Itachi, aware of Sasuke's struggle for recognition, tried to shift some of their father's attention to Sasuke, even offering to train Sasuke in various fields of ninja abilities. Although Itachi succeeded in getting Fugaku to spend more time with Sasuke, much of that time was still dedicated to Itachi, and all the while Itachi never lived up to his promises of training Sasuke.
As time went by, Itachi's standing in the clan began to falter as his trustworthiness was constantly called into question. At this time, Itachi also began to create a more competitive relationship with Sasuke, challenging Sasuke to surpass him. Because of Itachi's changing personality, Fugaku began to take a more active interest in Sasuke's development, teaching him the Great Fireball Technique in less time than Itachi had taken to learn it, which also gave Sasuke proper membership into the clan. Most prominently, Fugaku encouraged Sasuke to not follow in Itachi's footsteps, the former prodigy of the clan having lost his father's confidence.
Soon after receiving the attention from his father that he had so yearned for, Sasuke returned home late one evening to find all the members of his clan dead. After finding Itachi standing over the bodies of their parents, indicating he was the one responsible for the clans' murders, Itachi informed Sasuke that he wasn't worth killing. As he left, Itachi repeated his encouragement to Sasuke to get strong enough to surpass him, and disappeared into the night. From that day forth, Sasuke lived as an orphan, longing for the parents that had been taken from him and allowing his brother's words to fester. Soon after the clan's annihilation, Sasuke's only goal in life became to gain power through any means necessary in order to kill Itachi and avenge the clan.
Please provide a brief RP sample:
A breeze blew through the village, winding down alleys and around corners to cool the people affected by the harsh heat of the sun. The murmur of children sounded from the alleys that were shaded by the canopies of the surrounding buildings, and the conversational villagers gathered on the main streets to have their usual chat. A distinct figure of a man in the shade leaned up against the wall taking advantage of the cool spot, and he tall man walked out of the shadows and was overcome by the wave of heat that hit him when he set foot in the sun. Almost at once, the forming drops of sweat started to roll down his face, then his nose, and then fell down to the ground making the most quiet sound only to be drowned out by the clamor of the villagers.
The man, Sasuke, started to walk down the street, his feet tapping as they hit the ground rhythmically with his pounding heart. Sasuke found shelter under a line of tents from the venders selling various fruits and vegetables in the street, and as he winded his was through the small forming crowds, he made his way to a narrow alley. Taking advantage of the emptiness, he quickened his pace. The shaded alley opened up into another vast street which was also crowded with chatty people. Very indirectly, Sasuke walked into the street as if he had no clue where he was going, making unexpected turns down alleys and small streets. Walking on, without looking, he turned sharply into a smaller street that was almost completely empty except for those who lived there. Parting his lips to pant, Sasuke broke into a run to his designated location, sliding and skidding to make the proper turns. Suddenly he slid past an unnoticeable, long alley that was so narrow only children and thin adults could fit down without turning to the side. Trash was scattered on the ground all the way down it and graffiti decorated the walls. At the very end of this dark and eerie alley was a dark grey cement wall that went up to the tops of the roofs of the buildings beside it. Sasuke walked down the familiar valley, one that he had been down many times before this. Many would wonder why a grown man would be going down an alley where children hide and play in that had no outlet. The wall created a dead-end, everyone thought, but Sasuke knew better, for he put the wall there for a reason. If one got close enough, an indistinct black seal was located about five feet from the ground. With a simple hand gesture, the wall would part to let Sasuke and any of his guests in. But the seal was meant for Sasuke's chakra alone; his signature only known to create a rift in the barrier. Making the hand seal that he had made many times previous to now, the wall parted to make a small opening for Sasuke to go in to where he had aimed to go this whole time. His expressionless face changed as he entered a clearing surrounded by forest. This was the only way to get to the clearing so there was no entry from the forest outside of Konoha. Sasuke smiled as he felt peaceful and isolated in this place where he trained and held private meetings.
As sweat rolled down his face once more, he looked up to the sky through the leaves of surrounding trees which blocked the sun's rays. "Finally, cool and alone, away from the complaints and gossip of the villagers," Sasuke sighed feeling as if all of his troubles had disappeared and it was just him and training now. Closing his eyes, he felt his mouth form into a smile, something that he found himself doing when he was in his training place.
'Right,' he thought, disturbing the relaxing and soothing scene he just formed in his mind, 'Training.' The ANBU ninja jumped to his feet and with a few swift hand movements and the words, "Katon: Hôsenka no Jutsu," produced five fireballs, one shuriken in each, and he aimed them at five different trees. The fire faded away to reveal that the shuriken were each stuck into their targets. Sasuke let out a satisfied 'hmmph' and wondered when his invited guest would be here.
