IC:
Character name: Hatake, Kakashi
Fandom: Naruto: Shippuden, mangaverse (mostly because I haven't seen the anime but also because his abilities section would be full of crap he will never need to use.)
Timeline: Can't remember the last chapter he was actually in so 504/most recent chapter.
Age: 30
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: This section requires some knowledge of terminology that I will try to simplify by saying jutsu=technique and chakra=energy. All jutsu require chakra control and usage, and since Kakashi has a limited amount of chakra, he can't use all of these techniques at once (thank god, because he has a gazillion of them.) And after he uses them extensively, he can be coma-tired. Most jutsu also involve using hand seals to activate, although a number of Kakashi's techniques are so awesome he doesn't need it.
Kakashi's Super Awesome Abilities
The sharingan is probably the only one I actually want to stick under this section. He's not an Uchiha so he's not completely used to having one, but he is noted to be better at using the sharingan than most native sharingan wielders. If you don't know what a sharingan is, it's basically this eye (okay, Kakashi only has one-- sharingan I mean, he has two eyes) that allows the user to see the flow of chakra, see subtle movements, and copy/memorize abilities. Kakashi is especially good at this one and has copied thousands of abilities, but I'll only list the ones he's actually used in the manga, mostly out of convenience for everyone.
He will be able to copy abilities ingame (since this is his specialty) so I will eventually have an IC list of his ~*~new abilities~*~.
Fuinjutsu/Sealing
Whew. I think that's everything.
How would they use their abilities?: For the greater good! Being a shinobi is about protecting your friends. [ sage nod ]
Appearance: Well first of all, he's almost 6' and 150 pounds, which means he's kind of skinny-fit. But he definitely works out.
Staring from the top, he has a mass of messy white hair that spikes towards his left.
Also, he has a headband that he wears over one eye, because that's the eye with the sharingan, which is a special eye he received as a gift. His own original eye had been cut out in battle, so there is a large vertical scar through it. His sharingan is always activated so because it consumes energy, he has it covered unless he needs it.
Kakashi's other eye is black. Both his eyes are heavily lidded and he usually looks bored or tired, unless he's smiling, and you can only really tell because his eyes make the shape of n_n.
You can't see the rest of his face. He either has a mask or covers it up. I don't know why. He's never had it revealed, even in childhood. I suppose he wasn't born wearing a mask, but we've never seen his face. He does, however, have a narrow jaw, and what looks to be a longish nose.
He wears a jounin uniform (green bomber-like vest with a red spiral decal on the back, black shirt with rolled up sleeves and spirals on each sleeve, black pants that are bandaged for absolutely no reason, and open-toed sandals with ankles that are also bandaged for no reason.) He also wears a pair of gloves with metal plates on the back, a mask (forementioned), and a leaf village headband (ditto.) Aside from the weapons I mentioned, he also carries a copy of one volume of "Icha Icha Paradise," a perverted novel by Jiraiya.
Additionally, he has pale skin and a relaxed posture.
Background/Personality:Early Life
Kakashi's dad was known as White Fang, who was an awesome and well-known ninja. Kakashi himself was a child prodigy, having graduated the ninja academy at 5 and become a chuunin at 6 and become a jounin at 13. If these ranks are meaningless to you, basically it means he was just a really badass kid. Anyway, White Fang (Hatake Sakumo) was part of some war and then on a really important mission he failed in order to protect his friends. Then all the villagers were like WHITE FANG :|a and Kakashi's dad fell into a depression and then committed suicide. Because of this, Kakashi was like well, I'm going to follow the ninja code by the book. So then he became super cold and started to only care about the mission. He was… super serious, and really a lot of a jerkass. Like a total jerkass.
He was assigned to the fourth Hokage (kage is the highest title you can get as a ninja; the Hokage is sort of like the king) as a student, along with Uchiha Obito and (no idea what her last name is) Rin. In case I forgot to mention earlier, the Uchihas are the only ones with the sharingan (the special eyes, in case you forgot.) Kakashi and Obito did not get along at all and Kakashi teased Obito for not being able to activate his sharingan (it is first awakened by stress + trauma.) On a mission, Kakashi thought about sacrificing Rin to achieve their goals, and Obito thought he was batshit crazy and didn't want this to happen, since Rin was part of their team.
Anyway, Obito told Kakashi that his father was way more awesome than he was and then went to go save Rin from the bad guys, and after some thinking, Kakashi decided Obito was right and then went to go save Rin and Obito from the bad guys. This included him losing his left eye, and then suddenly he and Obito were friends, because I mean, you lose an eye for a guy and he's probably going to start liking you more. Anyway, then in a moment of uncowardliness, Obito sacrificed himself to save Rin and Kakashi. He was crushed under a rock and asked Rin to remove his newly-awakened sharingan and give it to Kakashi, because he had not given Kakashi a gift when he had been promoted to jounin rank. Kakashi promised he'd protect Rin, and then Obito died.
From then on, Kakashi changed his mantra to something Obito said, which was, "Shinobi who don't follow the rules are trash, but those who abandon their friends are the scum of the earth." (this is paraphrased.) Somewhere along the line, Rin died and Kakashi was promoted to ANBU (special elite forces.) I'm not sure which one came first.
Series Begin
For some unknown reason, he quit ANBU and went back to being a jounin. He tested a lot of teams of genin (lowest rank/beginning ninja) but never passed a single one. However, then Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura came along. When Kakashi was introduced, he seemed to be sort of cold, and really aloof and lazy ("I'm Kakashi Hatake. Things I like and things I hate...I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future...never really thought about it. As for my hobbies...I have lots of hobbies.") He implemented a very unfair test in which three twelve-year-olds are supposed to come at him and try to steal bells from him, and one of the three would be denied lunch. After this, he tied Naruto up and left Sasuke and Sakura to eat lunch while Naruto starved, giving them a cold speech about automatically failing them if they feed Naruto. They fed Naruto anyway, and Kakashi popped out of freaking nowhere to inform them that they'd all passed. And actually, then he became super happy-looking, totally unlike the previous persona he gave.
After that, he became very close with his team and showed off his nicer side. He is purposefully modest, and stands in the background of his students in official pictures, because Kishimoto (author of Naruto) really wanted to make Kakashi about his students rather than himself. In fact, he is specifically assigned to Naruto + Sasuke's team (canonly) to keep an eye on the ninetailed fox within Naruto and to keep an eye on Sasuke and make sure he doesn't become evil (as that is apparently an Uchiha destiny.)
His students were a total dream-team and so, being forced to do super low-rank missions, they totally wanted to be assigned a higher-ranking mission. Kakashi signed them up for one but then it turns out the mission was actually reported to be a lower rank than in actuality, which put everyone in danger. This is really important because Kakashi does a lot of things: 1. Believes his students can take on parts of the mission still and 2. Is totally cool and collected during the entire fight despite being against someone very strong while having to watch out for his kids and 3. Tells Sasuke he would never let his comrades die, and he will put his life on the line for his students.
Anyway, they successfully complete the mission and return home, where something known as the chuunin exams are beginning. Kakashi signed up his entire team, despite them being rookies with little experience. Because of the nature of the exams, it shows that he has really good confidence in their abilities. Of course, then he went and personally trains Sasuke, because he wants to teach Sasuke something he can use to protect his friends. This is because Sasuke has suffered a lot of loss, as has Kakashi. And Kakashi's problems lay in not being able to protect his friends, so he naturally decided he would want to save Sasuke similar heartache. Of course, he didn't anticipate Sasuke would use it purposefully against his friends, but that will come later.
It's also revealed that Kakashi has a sort of odd relationship with Maito Gai (okay I know his official name is Might Guy but for the app I'm going to call him Gai as I always have.) Gai recognizes that Kakashi is a super-strong ninja and is the opposite kind of ninja he is (Kakashi uses genius and talent, Gai uses hard work and physical attacks) so forces competition between them. It doesn't really have to do with ninjadom since most of these matches involve rock-paper-scissors, but Gai is really happy about beating the great Kakashi 50-49. Kakashi goes along with these competition and even concedes to Gai's oddly masochistic rules, but he doesn't seem really into it at all. Later, Kakashi accepts a piggyback ride from Gai despite most everyone thinking they look pretty lewd, so they seem to have a really strange form of friendship. Kakashi's generally cool nature prevents him from being totally embarrassed by this as most people are for him.
It turned out the chuunin exams are part of the current bad guy Orochimaru's plans, whereupon he wished to steal Sasuke. Sasuke goes after Gaara of the sand, who for some reason is in allegiance with Orochimaru due to some really complex plan, and Kakashi sends a 4-man team for them.
Itachi, having heard that the third Hokage was killed by Orochimaru, showed up in Konoha and he and his partner Kisame fight Kakashi (and Asuma and Kurenai) and Kakashi is totally left in a coma.
After Naru+co come back, something happened to Sasuke (cough, Itachi) and suddenly he wanted to become the main villain of the damn series, because he can't deal with being the main character's best friend. (This may or may not be the actual reason.) Anyway, Kakashi stepped in before Sasuke unleashed Chidori at Naruto and before Naruto unleashed Rasengan at Sasuke. Kakashi berated Sasuke in his awesome ninja-sensei way about how he attacked Naruto with intent to kill, which was not his purpose for teaching Sasuke Chidori. He asked Sasuke to think about what's really important.
Though of course, then Sasuke is "kidnapped." Well, not really. He totally agreed to being kidnapped, but anyway, there's a whole arc and then Naruto ended up fighting with Sasuke to try and get him to come back to Konoha. Kakashi tracked them down and then found Naruto dying and Sasuke completely gone. He was really sad because he couldn't save either of his students, baw.
Post-Timeskip
Kakashi for some reason got a mangekyo in the two and a half years that are skipped in the series-- this is weird because the mangekyo is traditionally achieved by killing one's best friend. There's a lot of mystery regarding how the hell Kakashi got his mangekyo, especially considering that Kakashi would never knowingly kill his best friend. And although it's unknown who is his best friend (he claims everyone close to him has died), he seems to mostly be closest with his students and Gai. Since none of them are dead… yeah…
Anyway, so Gaara (who is now Kazekage, the -kage of Sunagakure) was kidnapped by the Akatsuki (incl. Itachi.) Kakashi + co are sent to go retrieve him, and in the process, he uses new powers which tires him out so much that he rides on Gai's back to get home and then proceeds to be out cold for a week. This suggests that, despite Kakashi's laid-back attitude, he does really have a lot of drive, since I think he's smart enough to be well-aware of the consequences that come with powerful attacks like Kamui.
Later, they came back and Kakashi returned to being Naruto's teacher, teaching him more about valuable new information that was previously totally ignored for some reason, and revealing that he is suddenly more badass than before because (and this is all elemental-related) he has mastered several elements and even knew enough about Naruto's base element to get him started on learning. Which I guess is more of an ability than personality (and probably has something to do with him copying abilities) but he must have gone through quite a lot of training to use them, since it was previously shown that although Sasuke could copy Lee's abilities, the amount of training he did was sub-par so Lee's attacks wore him out.
Anyway, it was really obvious in this arc that while he is very much his own character, his purpose is to be a tool to strengthen the younger main characters (thankfully not by being a jobber.) He praised their growth and very modestly told Naruto he is probably stronger than Kakashi now. Additionally, he compared their chakra levels and says that Naruto's is much more impressive in comparison, and also he commented to Kazuku that the younger generation will surpass the older generation. Remember, Kakashi's still young (he's 30.) He additionally complimented his students in front of others, and freely lets them know that he loves them (aw.)
And then he helped Team 10 avenge the death of their own teacher, leaving his students with some guy named Yamato. This shows that he is kind (assisting Team 10), and trustful (seriously-- trusting some guy with your kids who may/may not run off and get themselves killed, kill each other, or turn into giant foxes?) or at least he's on good terms with some powerful ninja.
Later, Kakashi died. Yes, like he honest-to-goodness died, while using Kamui against Pein, to save Chouji. Yet, the first thing he thought of is how he couldn't protect Rin like he promised Obito he wouldn't, which suggests a very repentant and regretful personality, though I like to think that since he did die saving people, he didn't let that get to him, even though it stayed with him all that time. And very calmly, while he died, he had a nice conversation with his deceased father.
Anyway, he was revived (obviously, since there's more history to go-- haha, I hope you weren't thinking "fuck, I thought she was done.") and then took Naruto on one of his personal missions to go find clemency for Sasuke. I thought it was a stupid idea but he is very supportive of his students, and will help them however he can.
Then he was basically promoted to Hokage and he was like way too lazy for this job but he accepted it anyway because they pretty much decided it without him, so he wouldn't say no. But then Tsunade (the prev. Hokage) got better and he thanked her for taking the position because he just didn't think he'd be fit to be Hokage. I guess he doesn't really like glory; he obviously would much rather be in the background helping others than in the foreground, being the hero.
Additionally
Kakashi seems to change when people close to him die, sort of as a coping mechanism, I guess. He visits Obito's grave a lot, and is late for everything (where he used to be very punctual), suggesting a real genuine caring nature. He doesn't say things that are unkind and generally he's a sweet guy, but he's not unrealistic.
He's pretty honest, and he isn't afraid to compromise his ego. When Sakura gets upset, he tells her that he shouldn't have promised that things would go back to being how they used to be, since situation with Sasuke seems to become more and more dire. And of course, he never brags, though he doesn't actually go out and say that he's not a totally awesome ninja.
He's also a big pervert, who chooses to read what seems to be pornographic work while trying to teach his kids. Yeah. But, he's too laid-back to actively perv on people and he seems to be moderately embarrassed when he has to share that oh yes, he is reading some rather interesting things.
Kakashi is also always on his guard, despite being kinda lazy. He's also very observant, and even if something gets past him, he will probably realize it later. Oopsy. Oh, and according to Naruto, his only weakness in battle is…
…Spoilers. For Icha Icha Paradise.
Why should that character be in this game:
Why do you want to continue their history here:
For applicants considering an alternate version of a character already in game, please use this as your chance to explain the key differences between your character and the one already in play:
Have you read up on how the game works?: Sure. Guide's the FlamingFerret. Also, Kakashi peeling potatoes and chasing chickens for 3 months, let's go~ (In actuality he will probably tag along with whatever his kids are doing and/or go out to lunch with them and just duck out at the last minute… which I think covers everything.)
1st person sample: [ he doesn't look up from his book, and he sounds particularly apathetic about wanting to be here. So who is this strange man for whose face you can only see one eye? ]
I've looked through this guide [ he whips it outta seemingly nowhere ] so now I have to ask what it doesn't tell me, which is: who else is on this ship? I'd especially want to know you're here if you know who I am already. Those who don't want to talk to me, don't worry about announcing that you're here.
[ he sticks the guide back in his pocket ] Everyone else… hello.
3rd person sample:He walks around and he seems to be… well, relaxed. Not that he doesn't always seem relaxed, but he seems actually to be rather pleasant today. Which is interesting, because he's got eight dogs following him, and it's unusual to be seeing them all together without them being on some sort of important tracking business. He remembers the last time he summoned them for purposes other than battle or training or the like, because it was the first time he summoned them.
Okay, and to be honest, he really was trying to get them used to this new landscape, since it was so different from anything back home, but the fact of the matter is, there they are, just one level more serious than chilling out. Pakkun climbs on Kakashi's shoulder to tell him what he thinks of this place, with that worried little pug face of his. Dangerous, isn't it? Weird too: how did they all get here? Why did this place exist? Pakkun asks some good questions, and all Kakashi has to answer comes from the guide.
Which, actually, sound kind of like Kakashi-quality answers anyway, all strange and noncommittal. Just more of the strange and less of the noncommittal than Pakkun can remember being comfortable with. Despite this, they all stroll along the SS Thor. "There's more than this," Kakashi says to his dogs, but he looks like he doesn't know what it is and he definitely looks like the explanation might not be worth them just popping up out of nowhere and working on the fly.
Hell, it's working so far. Kakashi looks up and wonders, quite philosophically, why the hell this is happening. Maybe he actually… really died. Maybe he was reborn wrong, or maybe this was somewhere else in his mind.
Maybe… Rin's here.
And maybe he's just dreaming.
He thinks for a bit, and he says, "Why don't we take a break for lunch?" He's not particularly hungry, if he thinks about it, but it's around that time and, well, the others should be getting something to eat soon, if not now.
Questions?: Why didn't I choose to app his teenage self who has a shorter history? @_@
Did you put your characters name and fandom in the subject: I… hope so.

IC:
Character name: Hatake, Kakashi
Fandom: Naruto: Shippuden, mangaverse (mostly because I haven't seen the anime but also because his abilities section would be full of crap he will never need to use.)
Timeline: Can't remember the last chapter he was actually in so 504/most recent chapter.
Age: 30
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: This section requires some knowledge of terminology that I will try to simplify by saying jutsu=technique and chakra=energy. All jutsu require chakra control and usage, and since Kakashi has a limited amount of chakra, he can't use all of these techniques at once (thank god, because he has a gazillion of them.) And after he uses them extensively, he can be coma-tired. Most jutsu also involve using hand seals to activate, although a number of Kakashi's techniques are so awesome he doesn't need it.
Kakashi's Super Awesome Abilities
The sharingan is probably the only one I actually want to stick under this section. He's not an Uchiha so he's not completely used to having one, but he is noted to be better at using the sharingan than most native sharingan wielders. If you don't know what a sharingan is, it's basically this eye (okay, Kakashi only has one-- sharingan I mean, he has two eyes) that allows the user to see the flow of chakra, see subtle movements, and copy/memorize abilities. Kakashi is especially good at this one and has copied thousands of abilities, but I'll only list the ones he's actually used in the manga, mostly out of convenience for everyone.
He will be able to copy abilities ingame (since this is his specialty) so I will eventually have an IC list of his ~*~new abilities~*~.
Fuinjutsu/Sealing
- Evil Sealing Method: If someone puts a jutsu-induced mark on you to do something like oh, turn you into a creepyass purple-looking thing with hands for wings, Kakashi can seal it up for you =)
- Other?? Kakashi was assigned specifically to Naruto because apparently he can help keep the nine-tailed fox under control, which would take some sort of fuinjutsu I'm sure Kakashi can use.
- Demonic Illusion: Basically it's a trap that illusions a victim's worst fears and causes idk shock or something. Think boggarts.
- Shadow Clones/Multiple Shadow Clones: Kakashi can make clones of himself. These clones can attack and everything, but they're very easily destroyed. I have no idea how many he can actually make. Probably like ten or so.
- Chidori/Lightning Cutter: This is the only ability that Kakashi invented, so it's very special. Pretty much it's a bunch of energy in his hand that he releases as an attack. It also sounds like a bunch of birds chirping, hence the name Chidori (thousand birds.) Lightning Cutter is a souped-up version of Chidori (basically a very concentrated Chidori that gives him an odd ring of energy) that gained its nickname because Kakashi cut lightning with it (these ninjas are very creative.) He can use Lightning Cutter up to 6 times a day because it is a chakra hog.
- Lightning Hound: While using Lightning Cutter, the chakra can take the form of a dog… connected to Kakashi's hand.
- Lightning Clone: He can make shadow clones that can perform jutsu (so they can also use Chidori or something) which isn't all that special BUT when the clone is destroyed it will electrocute the area.
- Water Clone: He can make clones out of water that turn back to water (instead of disappearing) after they're destroyed.
- Water/Giant Waterfall: He can make a giant wave of water.
- Water/Dragon: This one creates a giant dragon head thing that attacks people.
- Water/Shark: Same, but a shark instead of a dragon.
- Water/Wall: Circular dome shield of water.
- Earth/Hiding: He can change earth to sand and then dig himself into it to hide.
- Earth/Decapitation: Since he can mole himself into the ground, he can also pull someone down with him and then leave just their head visible.
- Earth/Wall: He can make a wall of earth as a shield. This wall is also backed by chakra so it's not just your average mud walltm.
- Kamui: Using his mangekyo, this attack creates a sort of weird wormhole thingy and then the point of interest is sent to another dimension. Well, if Kakashi's aim is working. Chakra use is greater according to mass, so he can use it three times a day for regular battle situations.
- Rasengan: He can gather a bunch of chakra in one point and then swirl it really fast and unleash it at someone. Unfortunately, this attack is best left to Naruto because Kakashi's Rasengan is pathetic. It's like tiny and doesn't inflict a lot of damage.
- Ninken: Ninken means ninja dogs, and aren't they just the cutest? Kakashi can summon a pack of 8 which are usually for tracking people down. His dogs are also Jesus and can walk on water (only one of these statements is true.)
- Earth/Ninken: He can also use a scroll to summon his dogs into the ground so they can find someone marked with Kakashi's blood and leap from the ground to attack said target.
- Thousand Years of Death/Pain: Uhh, it's basically… he takes two fingers and (probably enhanced with chakra) sticks them… in someone's ass don't look at me, I didn't invent this jutsu.
- Being Fast: Totally as fast as Itachi, who is awesomely fast. Maybe not as fast as a Bleach character.
- Walking on Water: Also, climbing up trees with feet.
- Silent Killing: He can somehow kill someone without them making a sound. Not entirely sure how this one works, but it's listed as a real defined ability on his wiki entry.
- Totally Observant
- Pretty high intelligence
- Can read while defending self from harm.
- Makibishi: Spikes. Kind of like carrying around a bunch of thumbtacks.
- Manrikigusari: Two weighted things with a longass chain connecting them.
- Kunai: Bladed projectile weapons that look like knives.
- Shuriken: Bladed projectile weapons that have four spikes.
Whew. I think that's everything.

Kakashi signed up his entire team, despite them being rookies with little experience. Because of the nature of the exams, it shows that he has really good confidence in their abilities. Of course, then he went and personally trains Sasuke, because he wants to teach Sasuke something he can use to protect his friends. This is because Sasuke has suffered a lot of loss, as has Kakashi. And Kakashi's problems lay in not being able to protect his friends, so he naturally decided he would want to save Sasuke similar heartache. Of course, he didn't anticipate Sasuke would use it purposefully against his friends, but that will come later.
It's also revealed that Kakashi has a sort of odd relationship with Maito Gai (okay I know his official name is Might Guy but for the app I'm going to call him Gai as I always have.) Gai recognizes that Kakashi is a super-strong ninja and is the opposite kind of ninja he is (Kakashi uses genius and talent, Gai uses hard work and physical attacks) so forces competition between them. It doesn't really have to do with ninjadom since most of these matches involve rock-paper-scissors, but Gai is really happy about beating the great Kakashi 50-49. Kakashi goes along with these competition and even concedes to Gai's oddly masochistic rules, but he doesn't seem really into it at all. Later, Kakashi accepts a piggyback ride from Gai despite most everyone thinking they look pretty lewd, so they seem to have a really strange form of friendship. Kakashi's generally cool nature prevents him from being totally embarrassed by this as most people are for him.
It turned out the chuunin exams are part of the current bad guy Orochimaru's plans, whereupon he wished to steal Sasuke. Sasuke goes after Gaara of the sand, who for some reason is in allegiance with Orochimaru due to some really complex plan, and Kakashi sends a 4-man team for them.
Itachi, having heard that the third Hokage was killed by Orochimaru, showed up in Konoha and he and his partner Kisame fight Kakashi (and Asuma and Kurenai) and Kakashi is totally left in a coma.
After Naru+co come back, something happened to Sasuke (cough, Itachi) and suddenly he wanted to become the main villain of the damn series, because he can't deal with being the main character's best friend. (This may or may not be the actual reason.) Anyway, Kakashi stepped in before Sasuke unleashed Chidori at Naruto and before Naruto unleashed Rasengan at Sasuke. Kakashi berated Sasuke in his awesome ninja-sensei way about how he attacked Naruto with intent to kill, which was not his purpose for teaching Sasuke Chidori. He asked Sasuke to think about what's really important.
Though of course, then Sasuke is "kidnapped." Well, not really. He totally agreed to being kidnapped, but anyway, there's a whole arc and then Naruto ended up fighting with Sasuke to try and get him to come back to Konoha. Kakashi tracked them down and then found Naruto dying and Sasuke completely gone. He was really sad because he couldn't save either of his students, baw.
Post-Timeskip
Kakashi for some reason got a mangekyo in the two and a half years that are skipped in the series-- this is weird because the mangekyo is traditionally achieved by killing one's best friend. There's a lot of mystery regarding how the hell Kakashi got his mangekyo, especially considering that Kakashi would never knowingly kill his best friend. And although it's unknown who is his best friend (he claims everyone close to him has died), he seems to mostly be closest with his students and Gai. Since none of them are dead… yeah…
Anyway, so Gaara (who is now Kazekage, the -kage of Sunagakure) was kidnapped by the Akatsuki (incl. Itachi.) Kakashi + co are sent to go retrieve him, and in the process, he uses new powers which tires him out so much that he rides on Gai's back to get home and then proceeds to be out cold for a week. This suggests that, despite Kakashi's laid-back attitude, he does really have a lot of drive, since I think he's smart enough to be well-aware of the consequences that come with powerful attacks like Kamui.
Later, they came back and Kakashi returned to being Naruto's teacher, teaching him more about valuable new information that was previously totally ignored for some reason, and revealing that he is suddenly more badass than before because (and this is all elemental-related) he has mastered several elements and even knew enough about Naruto's base element to get him started on learning. Which I guess is more of an ability than personality (and probably has something to do with him copying abilities) but he must have gone through quite a lot of training to use them, since it was previously shown that although Sasuke could copy Lee's abilities, the amount of training he did was sub-par so Lee's attacks wore him out.
Anyway, it was really obvious in this arc that while he is very much his own character, his purpose is to be a tool to strengthen the younger main characters (thankfully not by being a jobber.) He praised their growth and very modestly told Naruto he is probably stronger than Kakashi now. Additionally, he compared their chakra levels and says that Naruto's is much more impressive in comparison, and also he commented to Kazuku that the younger generation will surpass the older generation. Remember, Kakashi's still young (he's 30.) He additionally complimented his students in front of others, and freely lets them know that he loves them (aw.)
And then he helped Team 10 avenge the death of their own teacher, leaving his students with some guy named Yamato. This shows that he is kind (assisting Team 10), and trustful (seriously-- trusting some guy with your kids who may/may not run off and get themselves killed, kill each other, or turn into giant foxes?) or at least he's on good terms with some powerful ninja.
Later, Kakashi died. Yes, like he honest-to-goodness died, while using Kamui against Pein, to save Chouji. Yet, the first thing he thought of is how he couldn't protect Rin like he promised Obito he wouldn't, which suggests a very repentant and regretful personality, though I like to think that since he did die saving people, he didn't let that get to him, even though it stayed with him all that time. And very calmly, while he died, he had a nice conversation with his deceased father.
Anyway, he was revived (obviously, since there's more history to go-- haha, I hope you weren't thinking "fuck, I thought she was done.") and then took Naruto on one of his personal missions to go find clemency for Sasuke. I thought it was a stupid idea but he is very supportive of his students, and will help them however he can.
Then he was basically promoted to Hokage and he was like way too lazy for this job but he accepted it anyway because they pretty much decided it without him, so he wouldn't say no. But then Tsunade (the prev. Hokage) got better and he thanked her for taking the position because he just didn't think he'd be fit to be Hokage. I guess he doesn't really like glory; he obviously would much rather be in the background helping others than in the foreground, being the hero.
Additionally
Kakashi seems to change when people close to him die, sort of as a coping mechanism, I guess. He visits Obito's grave a lot, and is late for everything (where he used to be very punctual), suggesting a real genuine caring nature. He doesn't say things that are unkind and generally he's a sweet guy, but he's not unrealistic.
He's pretty honest, and he isn't afraid to compromise his ego. When Sakura gets upset, he tells her that he shouldn't have promised that things would go back to being how they used to be, since situation with Sasuke seems to become more and more dire. And of course, he never brags, though he doesn't actually go out and say that he's not a totally awesome ninja.
He's also a big pervert, who chooses to read what seems to be pornographic work while trying to teach his kids. Yeah. But, he's too laid-back to actively perv on people and he seems to be moderately embarrassed when he has to share that oh yes, he is reading some rather interesting things.
Kakashi is also always on his guard, despite being kinda lazy. He's also very observant, and even if something gets past him, he will probably realize it later. Oopsy. Oh, and according to Naruto, his only weakness in battle is…
…Spoilers. For Icha Icha Paradise.
Why should that character be in this game:
Why do you want to continue their history here:
For applicants considering an alternate version of a character already in game, please use this as your chance to explain the key differences between your character and the one already in play:
Have you read up on how the game works?: Sure. Guide's the FlamingFerret. Also, Kakashi peeling potatoes and chasing chickens for 3 months, let's go~ (In actuality he will probably tag along with whatever his kids are doing and/or go out to lunch with them and just duck out at the last minute… which I think covers everything.)
1st person sample: [ he doesn't look up from his book, and he sounds particularly apathetic about wanting to be here. So who is this strange man for whose face you can only see one eye? ]
I've looked through this guide [ he whips it outta seemingly nowhere ] so now I have to ask what it doesn't tell me, which is: who else is on this ship? I'd especially want to know you're here if you know who I am already. Those who don't want to talk to me, don't worry about announcing that you're here.
[ he sticks the guide back in his pocket ] Everyone else… hello.
3rd person sample:He walks around and he seems to be… well, relaxed. Not that he doesn't always seem relaxed, but he seems actually to be rather pleasant today. Which is interesting, because he's got eight dogs following him, and it's unusual to be seeing them all together without them being on some sort of important tracking business. He remembers the last time he summoned them for purposes other than battle or training or the like, because it was the first time he summoned them.
Okay, and to be honest, he really was trying to get them used to this new landscape, since it was so different from anything back home, but the fact of the matter is, there they are, just one level more serious than chilling out. Pakkun climbs on Kakashi's shoulder to tell him what he thinks of this place, with that worried little pug face of his. Dangerous, isn't it? Weird too: how did they all get here? Why did this place exist? Pakkun asks some good questions, and all Kakashi has to answer comes from the guide.
Which, actually, sound kind of like Kakashi-quality answers anyway, all strange and noncommittal. Just more of the strange and less of the noncommittal than Pakkun can remember being comfortable with. Despite this, they all stroll along the SS Thor. "There's more than this," Kakashi says to his dogs, but he looks like he doesn't know what it is and he definitely looks like the explanation might not be worth them just popping up out of nowhere and working on the fly.
Hell, it's working so far. Kakashi looks up and wonders, quite philosophically, why the hell this is happening. Maybe he actually… really died. Maybe he was reborn wrong, or maybe this was somewhere else in his mind.
Maybe… Rin's here.
And maybe he's just dreaming.
He thinks for a bit, and he says, "Why don't we take a break for lunch?" He's not particularly hungry, if he thinks about it, but it's around that time and, well, the others should be getting something to eat soon, if not now.
Questions?: Why didn't I choose to app his teenage self who has a shorter history? @_@
Did you put your characters name and fandom in the subject: I… hope so.
