Name: Sasuke Uchiha.

Sex: Male.

Age: 19.

Appearance: Sasuke is a very handsome (almost pretty boy look) with a lean, athletic build shaped by years of rigorous shinobi training. He has pale skin, sharp features, and dark, slightly upturned eyes that often carry a cool, intense expression. His thick black hair is naturally spiked at the back, while longer bangs fall unevenly around his face, framing the Uchiha features he strongly resembles. Though still young, Sasuke carries himself with an almost severe confidence, his posture straight and movements controlled, lending him an aloof and intimidating presence despite his age. He typically wears practical shinobi attire bearing the Uchiha crest, along with his Konoha forehead protector, and keeps his appearance neat without seeming particularly concerned with it. His good looks, talent, and perpetually disinterested demeanor have earned him considerable attention—particularly from girls—though Sasuke himself seems either oblivious to it or, more often, visibly annoyed by it.

PERSONALITY: Sasuke is reserved, proud, and intensely driven, devoting most of his time to training and becoming stronger. Though he carries himself with the aloof, effortlessly “too cool” demeanor that earns him plenty of unwanted attention, he has little interest in romance or popularity. Beneath that confidence lies a competitive and surprisingly hot-headed streak—particularly where Naruto and their rivalry for the title of Hokage are concerned. Sasuke quietly struggles with loneliness and the suffocating expectations of the Uchiha clan, painfully aware that he is often regarded as second to Itachi: the spare prodigy rather than one worthy of recognition in his own right. Determined to surpass his brother and finally be seen as Sasuke rather than Itachi’s shadow, he allows himself little time for anything beyond that goal. Despite his guarded nature, however, Sasuke is fiercely loyal to the rare few who manage to earn his trust, even if he would rather die than openly admit how much they mean to him. Furthermore, in rare occasions, he is has a rather dry wit and sarcasm.

HISTORY: Born the youngest son of Fugaku Uchiha, Sasuke was recognized as a prodigy from an early age. Intelligent, disciplined, and naturally gifted, he nevertheless grew up beneath the enormous shadow cast by his elder brother, Itachi. As a child, Sasuke idolized him, throwing himself relentlessly into training in hopes that if he could become just like Itachi—or perhaps accomplish something Itachi had not—he might finally earn the same pride and attention from his father and clan. He excelled in nearly everything expected of him, graduating at the top of his class and later entering the Uchiha Police Force’s academy at an unusually young age, where his talent continued to distinguish him among his peers. However, no matter what Sasuke accomplished, Itachi remained the standard against which he felt measured. By his teenage years, his childhood desire to be like his brother had quietly curdled into a determination to surpass him entirely. Sasuke no longer wanted to become another Itachi—he wanted to become someone greater, someone whose name could stand on its own without his brother’s attached to it. His lifelong rivalry with Naruto only intensified this ambition. Though Sasuke would scarcely admit it, Naruto’s stubborn refusal to fall behind constantly pushes him forward, their shared pursuit of becoming Hokage turning childhood competition into something increasingly personal. His talent, appearance, and aloof demeanor have made Sasuke immensely popular among his peers, particularly girls, though their attention has always been little more than an annoyance to him. Strength, recognition, and proving himself have occupied nearly every corner of his life, leaving little room for romance or ordinary teenage pursuits. Now, however, Sasuke has begun to question the path laid before him. Remaining in Konoha means security, family, and a prestigious future within the Uchiha—but it also threatens to bind him permanently to the expectations he has spent his entire life trying to escape. Increasingly, he suspects that the strength he seeks cannot be found within the village at all, this notion garnered from an arrest of one of Orochimaru's underlings. Later, Sasuke interrogated him privately, having heard of the famous sage. In that private interrogation, he told Sasuke of Orochimaru's power, and now the thought lingers with him. The possibility of leaving Konoha in pursuit of greater power has begun to tempt him, forcing Sasuke to choose between everything he has ever known and the frightening possibility of forging a path entirely his own. For perhaps the first time in his life, his greatest struggle is not becoming stronger than Itachi, but deciding who Sasuke Uchiha is supposed to be once he stops trying to follow him.

NOTES:

• Though he devotes most of his time to training, whenever he needs an escape from his clan or the village's expectations, Sasuke enjoys lingering on the outskirts of the village, birdwatching. He has become surprisingly adept at identifying bird calls, and privately yearns for the freedom they represent. His favorite bird is a hawk.
• Secretly, Sasuke's other, more private hobby is teamaking. Mikoto taught him how to properly prepare tea when he was younger. As a teenager, making it becomes one of those quiet comforts he refuses to call sentimental. He has very particular preferences and can immediately tell when someone brewed it wrong.
• Sasuke collects various kunai and weapon scrolls as well, sometimes from Uchiha police force confiscated weapons.
• If he cannot sleep, Sasuke will read, usually stories of samurai or other famous warriors.
• Sasuke, due to his prowess, was invited to ANBU at a young age, but Sasuke refused, not wanting to be like Itachi. Instead, he's a high ranking member of the Uchiha police force.
• Sasuke does not yet have his mangyeko sharingan unlocked.
• In the very rare instance where Sasuke has a romantic partner, and if they are close enough, he will allow some of his walls down. If he is sure they are in absolute privacy, he will become needy, craving validation and love he did not receive from his Uchiha upbringing, due to their very strict and reserved nature. Compliments targeted towards things other than his physical appearance and strength are particularly potent for him. If he is in this closeness with another, where he does not feel like he needs to be the stereotypical dominant Uchiha, he prefers to be submissive, taking what his partner gives him.
• His speech tends to be a bit shorter and clipped, using "Hn" as a response often, though when with the right person, he'll speak more.
