----Name:
Nara Shikamaru
----Age:
20
----Gender:
Male
----Village of Origin:
Konohagakure no Sato, Hi no Kuni
----Rank:
Tokubetsu Jounin:
Shikamaru now specializes in being an Examiner for the Chuunin Exams. He has been since the age of 15 or 16 years old. He also has another field of speciality which is tactics and analysis. Due to Shikamaru's high IQ and ability to analyse a situation extremely quickly he has been able to turn around even the most hopeless of battles. These two areas of speciality are what managed to get him promoted to Tokubetsu Jounin (Special High Ninja).
Nijou Shoutai:
Shikamaru is also within the ranks of the Nijou Shoutai or 20th Legion. This speical task force was set up by Tsunade whilst the Akatsuki increased their activity. Shikamaru was in a four man team with Hagane Kotetsu, Kamizuki Izumo and Sarutobi Asuma. Asuma soon died, during the team's first mission in fact. His Nijou Shoutai team has stayed as a three man cell with Kotetsu and Izumo ever since.
----Weapons:
Shuriken:
Also known as throwing stars; Shikamaru's Shuriken consist of four points and a small hole in the center of the star shape. They are made from a dark coloured metal which is extremely durable. The edges of the points are also really sharp for effectiveness. Shikamaru keeps his Shuriken in the second holster on his leg, located next to the Kunai holster.
Exploding Tags:
Exploding Tags or Notes are known for their explosive properties. The tag can be placed in conjunction with a trap or just attached to an enemie directly. The use of the Exploding Tag: Activate jutsu will make short work of any opponent; causing a fairly huge explosion.
Kunai:
Otherwise known as a throwing dagger or knife; the Kunai is comprised of three parts. First off there is a elongated diamond-shaped blade. The blade is double-edged and extremely sharp. Secondly, the handle, is attached to the end of the blade and is about a hand's width long. Shikamaru's Kunai have a thin strip of bandage wrapped around it for extra grip. The material is dirty, torn and frayed a little due to usage. Lastly, there is a metal loop located on the other end of the handle. This is used for removing the Kunai from it's holster or for just swinging it around on your finger. The Kunai are kept in the large round pouch that is attached to the back of Shikamaru's trousers, except for one Kunai that is held in his leg holster.
Shinobi Wire:
Shikamaru carries a few hundred metres of this strong metal wire with him. It is coiled round and hooked onto the outside of his large weapons pouch that is found of the back of his trousers. The shinobi wire is made of an extremely durable and tough metal, however it is fairly lightweight considering it's other properties. Shikamaru uses shinobi wire in conjunction with exploding tags to create a trap or with his shadow jutsu.
Soldier Pills:
These small round pills can be eaten by a ninja and allow them to go without food or rest for many days. This is extremely useful for a long mission where stamina and endurance are absolutely vital to the success of the task.
Smoke Bombs:
These bombs are large and spherical in appearance, but when thrown they emitted a large amount of thick smoke. This smoke reduces the opponent's vision and keeps them open for an attack.
Asuma's Trench Knives
These large size "Knuckle Knives" used to belong to Shikamaru's Sensei - Sarutobi Asuma. They now belong to Shikamaru himself, after Asuma was brutally killed. The knives can be enhanced with wind element chakra to make the blade larger, stronger and sharper. However, Shikamaru does not have this ability, so he has managed to encorporate them into a new shadow jutsu.

----Kekkei Genkai/Special Ability/Bloodlimit:
Shadow Manipulation:
----Jutsu:
Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique):
The user assumes the appearance of another person, animal, or object. This is one of the basic jutsu taught at the Konoha Ninja Academy. Fundamentally, all ninja know this jutsu.
Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique):
A high-speed movement technique. It is described as 'appearing with the wind and disappearing like the wind.' A very basic jutsu, it appears that most shinobi above Genin-rank know it.
Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique):
This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach, leaving the opponent open to a counter-attack.
Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique):
This technique creates a clone of the user, but it is an illusion, not a real copy like the Shadow Clone Technique. The illusions will dissipate when they come into contact with anything. The illusions can be seen through by the Byakugan and the Sharingan.
Nawanuke no Jutsu (Rope Escape Technique):
A basic technique taught at the Ninja academy, this jutsu allows a ninja to free themselves if they have been tied up.
Doton no Jutsu (Earth Release Skill):
This Jutsu allows the user to travel underground, and come back up (or pull others under) whenever he/she likes.
Jibaku Fuda: Kassei (Exploding Tag: Activate):
This allows the user to set off exploding tags from a distance with Chakra.
Kakuremino no Jutsu (Cloak of Invisibility Technique):
This jutsu allows a ninja to take a cloak or a piece of cloth and blend into an object, making them invisible.
Kinobori no Waza (Act of Tree Climbing):
Kinobori no Waza, the art of tree climbing serves a dual purpose. Taking part in Kinobori Shugyou (Tree Climbing Training) helps a ninja learn how to focus their chakra, and it also teaches them how to run up trees and walk up walls. The training helps the ninja learn how to focus just the right amount of chakra to a particular part of their body. The amount needed to climb is small but it must be precise. The feet are said to be the hardest location to learn how to master chakra focusing. So by gaining the art of this skill, the ninja will be able to have any jutsu available to him (theoretically) because she can focus chakra as needed. Next the chakra released must be properly controlled.
Suimen Hokou no Waza (Act of Water Surface Walking):
A variation on the Kinobori no Waza (Act of Tree Climbing), the art of water surface walking allows a ninja to walk on water as if it was a solid surface. Focusing an even amount of charka out of the soles of their feet, they can balance themselves on the very surface of the water.
Kagemane no Jutsu (Shadow Imitation Technique):
The signature move of the Nara family, this jutsu allows the user to control their own shadow and merge it with their opponent's shadow, combining them. This links the movements of the user with the target; the target is subsequently forced to make any movement the user makes. It is an extremely versatile technique, as the user can contract and change the shape of their shadow, potentially grabbing multiple targets at once. The degree to which the user's shadow can be stretched is limited by its total surface area. Using the shadows of other objects, the user can extend their shadow beyond its normal range.
Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu (Shadow Neck Bind Technique):
After capturing an opponent with the Shadow Imitation Technique, the user can then further extend their shadow up to the target's throat in the shape of a hand, which chokes them to death
Kage Nui (Shadow Sewing):
The user of this jutsu can extend their shadow and create multiple tangible tendrils for various purposes. Such purposes can include using them as stabbing weapons, rope for binding an opponent, or extra appendages for throwing weapons.
It can also be used simultaneously with Shadow Imitation Technique, so it is possible to split the shadow and use both jutsus at the same time.
Kagemane Shuriken no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Imitation Technique):
By channeling his chakra into Asuma Sarutobi's trench knives, Shikamaru can use them to pin his opponent's shadow to the ground, immobilizing his opponent. The technique doesn't require any further effort on Shikamaru's part to maintain, but whether or not it has a time limit is unclear. With the opponent pinned, Shikamaru can then use his regular Shadow Imitation Technique to control them at his leisure.
Kage Yose no Jutsu (Shadow Gathering Technique):
Kage Yose no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique developed by the Nara clan. This technique uses the Kage Nui threads to extend from a Kage Kubi Shibari bound on the body. These threads can then pull an object back towards the one bound. In this case, the shadow thread was used to pull in wire and explosive tags which were surrounding the target. The Kage Nui then sewed the wire into the target, binding them with the wire and lacing them with explosive tags.
