Physical AppearanceNaruto is a fairly skinny kid who stands at about 5'6'' and weighs about 125 lbs. He has golden-blonde hair and striking ice blue eyes. Despite his almost scrawny appearance he is actually fairly muscular, and can't seem to really keep any fat on his body. His hair is a mess of yellow spikes that he can't seem to calm down no matter what he tries, a trait he's been told he got from his father.
Personality Naruto, while not the sharpest tool in the shed, is a very strong-willed and charismatic guy. He can be forgetful at times of things that don't seem important to the moment and he has a tendency to act first and think about the consequences later, but he is a genuinely caring and well-meaning person. He has a secret soft spot for pretty things (especially girls), and he is most definitely not gay, and if you bring up that thing that happened in that one class with Sasuke in 7th grade he'll kick your ass. Naruto really isn't very good with theory and hypothetical problems, and needs to be actively involved in the lesson or have it explained using similarities to things he already understands. He tends to have his own unorthodox ways that he uses to go about things which can sometimes seem more complex or redundant than the normal means, but it works for him. Once he understands something though, he's actually quite good at reteaching it to others (his friends jokingly explain that if it's simple enough for him to understand, it must really be easy). He makes up for his seeming lack of intellectualism with decent street-smarts and a determination to be the best at the important things, rather than the useless knowledge that he won't actually need in real life. Optimistic almost to the point of naivete, Naruto always expects the best out of people he meets and searches for the good inside of them, no matter how hard it may be to find.
Strengths
Charismatic: There is something about that blonde-haired kid that people just seem to find irresistible... no two people describe it the same way, but the general consensus is that he has a sort of earnest, if foolhardy, charm about him that seems to draw everyone in.
Loyal: A friend in need you say? Naruto is fiercely loyal and will always help or defend someone who needs it. Don't try to talk shit about someone he cares about.[/ul]
Flaws
Stubborn: Just try to get him to admit he's wrong, or that someone else is better at him at one of his passions, like video games. See how well that goes over.
Lazy/procrastinator: Who'd want to write that boring ass essay when there's a new Halo game out? Are all the bowls dirty? Well... cups are like little bowls right? Or he could always just eat out of the can the food came in... or tupperware, or a pot or pan...[/ul]
Drink? sure, sometimes
Smoke? Nah
Drive? ;D
Drugs? ...
Partying? Of course!
Family Minato Namikaze: Deceased
Kushina Uzumaki: Deceased
Jiraiya: Adoptive Father
Residence Naruto lives with his adoptive father in a decent-sized apartment in the middle of Tokyo, but he may as well be living alone as Jiraiya is almost never home, citing 'research' for his next novel as his reason for absence. Keeping him company, however, is a terrarium full of toads and a rather foxy-looking orange cat named Kit.
History: On October 10th, 1993, a child was born to a prominent political figure and his hotheaded but unmarried secretary and girlfriend. The child, a boy, was thus given his mother's surname... but her time with her newborn child was short, and Kushina Uzumaki died from complications of the childbirth not long after. Minato Namikaze was a rather controversial figure in the eyes of the public, and, tragically only days after his wife's death, he too died, shot by a disgruntled citizen who disagreed with his politics. The baby was then left with a man named Jiraiya, an author who had mentored Minato and Kushina, and considered Minato like his own son as he never had any children of his own.
Outcast for his strange looks, abnormal family life, and poor grades, Naruto had a very lonely youth and often acted out for attention, pulling stupid pranks in class and routinely getting in trouble. It was only in middle school that he really began to make friends, or at least develop some sort of relationship with the other kids in his class, in particular a boy named Sasuke Uchiha and a girl named Sakura Haruno. The girl, he thought, was pretty, and he developed a crush on her and vied for her attention; the boy, he thought, was an arrogant ass who needed to be knocked down a few pegs and needed to stop being so goddamn good at everything.
While never good in school, Naruto has so far managed to scrape by with the bare minimum in terms of grades in most every subject, though he excels in more physical activities like PE.[/SIZE]

What makes your character (or interpretation of the character) unique, original, and worth having on the site? It's Naruto. What kind of Naruto RP site would it be without a Naruto? I don't take myself or the character too seriously, and I intend to have fun with him while still remaining true to his core personality traits.
Role Play Sample: Literature really was one of the most boring classes ever, and Naruto had long since given up even pretending to be interested in the subject matter. Really, Iruka-sensei of all people should know that the blonde boy hated this stuff, and forcing anyone to sit through a lecture about the finer points of Shakespeare at eight in the morning was just criminal. When would knowing about old plays written by dead English guys ever help him in real life? Knowing all the gory details of Romeo and Juliet didn't make finding a job any easier, and it wasn't going to help him in any real-life experience he could think of.
The blonde's stomach rumbled angrily, almost as though in agreement with his brain. Yeah, he agreed mentally, this is about as interesting as white rice... I know.
Very quickly, however, it became clear that the lesson was not what his stomach was upset about. Apparently, it seemed, when milk tasted bad the proper thing to do was not 'shrug and chug it anyway' while trying not to let any linger on the taste buds.
Some lessons had to be learned the hard way, however.
Trying the best he could to keep his cool, knowing he would never hear the end of it if anyone found out what was going on, he put his hand up in the air as casually as possible to ask for the restroom. Unfortunately, Iruka-sensei had a habit of getting a little too involved in the lesson... probably to make up for the lack of enthusiasm he got from his students. Used to the sleepy teenagers not bothering to ask him questions so early in the morning, he would write and read excerpts and get too caught up in changing powerpoint slides to actually notice a rogue hand waving in the air frantically for attention.
“Iruka-senseiii,” Naruto whined, shifting uncomfortably in his seat and thrusting his hand into the air as high as he could reach as though that extra bit would actually make the oblivious instructor notice his plight. All too used to the blonde Uzumaki's complaints, however, the teacher ignored the climbing pitch, assuming that it was another one of his, well, less-than-A-student's quips about 'can we please learn about something interesting today?'
But Naruto couldn't handle it anymore. “IrukasenseiI'msorryI'llberightback,” he blabbed, running his words together lest he lose time by bothering to articulate properly. He needed to get to the bathroom now, even if Iruka wasn't okay with it initially, he was sure the man would rather this minor interruption over the major one that would occur if Naruto didn't make it to the Men's room in a timely fashion. Hopefully he and Shakespeare both would understand.
