RETURNING: N/A
〈 CHARACTER INFO 〉
CHARACTER NAME: Uchiha Sasuke
CHARACTER AGE: 19
SERIES: Naruto
CHRONOLOGY: Sasuke Shinden: Book of Sunrise (anime episode 488)
CLASS: Anti-hero! While Sasuke’s settled (after a lot of impressive back and forth) on the side of helping others instead of revenge, he’s not above doing questionable things to get the results he wants.
HOUSING: Down for randomization!
BACKGROUND: His personal wiki page.
PERSONALITY: At first blush, Sasuke is reserved, terse, and serious. He takes a no-nonsense approach to both long-term goals and daily tasks, usually completing them in ways he finds most efficient and — when it comes to his more important ambitions — with an unyielding focus. While this intensity is often propped up as an ideal for shinobi, Sasuke did not grow into it naturally. As a child he was far more expressive and optimistic, with a determined if shy personality. During this time he developed the dual inferiority and superiority complex that he’d carry into adulthood; his father’s high expectations and withholding nature caused him to develop a strong need to succeed alongside the assumption that he should. This was further complicated when at age eight his clansmen — including his parents — were slaughtered by his elder brother Itachi who left him with an order to acquire even more strength and avenge their loss against him.
Socially this event put Sasuke into a state of arrested development. He isolated himself from his peers because he believed that they were incapable of understanding his new burdens, became far more reserved and quiet, began to manifest new anger issues, and started living entirely on his own. As much as he hated this loneliness it allotted him more time to train and with fewer distractions, causing him to also focus less and less on his own happiness. This idea of duty and goals over self (even when those goals were potentially selfishly motivated) is one that sticks with him through to the end of the series itself.
Because Sasuke is such a loner he struggles with teamwork and is in fact only shown to succeed at it whenever it isn’t conflicting with his goals (as soon as he decides he’ll become stronger by abandoning Naruto and Sakura he does so, for example, along with abandoning his own Team Taka later as well in order to chase a target). When he is actually working in a team he naturally volunteers himself for a leadership position and adopts it with or without consent from his teammates. He’s uncompromising and stubborn with his decisions, a personality trait which is even more apparent after the time skip (from age thirteen at the end of Naruto to sixteen at the beginning of Naruto: Shippuuden) due to an extended period away from any of his positive bonds in Konoha. This also shows in his defiance to authority. Again, as with teamwork, should someone give him an order that falls in line with his own wants or ambitions, Sasuke is willing to go along with it. If not, his pride and lack of concern for others’ opinion of him leads to him being all too ready to refuse… sometimes violently (as in the case of him literally backstabbing multiple mentors and teammates).
Despite his prickly demeanor Sasuke does possess a genuine respect for life, avoiding killing when possible but not hesitating when he feels it’s unavoidable. Which leads to another major part of Sasuke’s personality: his extreme emotions.
While again he’s stoic on the outside, this is a carefully maintained exterior. Sasuke is extremely emotional and has a few triggers (mostly family-related) capable of setting off his considerable anger. When this happens throughout the series his personal morality takes a backseat to his violent tendencies. That said, this rage is canonically confirmed to be the result of an even stronger capability to love; the bonds Sasuke forms are very important to him and experiencing any loss of them affects him both powerfully and negatively.
The goals Sasuke values so highly are also regularly suggested to (or outright commanded of) him by others throughout the series. For example, Itachi tells him to avenge the clan, Obito manipulates him into hating Konoha, etc. By the end of the series however Sasuke gains the ability to think critically and begins questioning the world around him with greater sincerity. He has a genuine desire to improve the world so that people like him will no longer be created through tragedy, and he’s shown to regret hurting Naruto and Sakura and the others he’s betrayed. His guilt over these incidents is extremely weighty, adding to his already existent survivor’s guilt. That said, at his canon point he’s looking to the future and researching how he can best aid those in Konoha with whom he’s repairing his relationships.
Sasuke’s most meaningful bonds are easily with Naruto (his best friend and rival) and with his older brother Itachi (the man who killed their family but was later revealed to be protecting Sasuke). While it’s undeniable that these relationships are complicated, he deeply loves both. Other important relationships are those with the other two members of Team 7, Sakura and Kakashi, and those he has with his new Team Taka in Shippuuden. He compares the latter to the former more than once and relies on them heavily for aid.
As for other more specific personality traits, Sasuke is a bit of a perfectionist thanks to that inferiority complex. He's also seen as being very neat and spartan when it comes to his living arrangements, viewing his personal surroundings as unimportant and decorations as unnecessary. His hobbies are walking and training. He's very reasonable and logical but has a very impressive temper if it can ever be sparked (as mentioned earlier). While he's quite traditional and well-bred thanks to his roots in an old and elitist clan, Sasuke tends to be very rude and disrespectful. Additionally, he's frequently called a genius in his village — and outside of it, when his reputation further grows — and is a very quick learner. Finally, he's the subject of constant romantic attention from females of all ages throughout the series, of which he's either ignorant or ambivalent.
POWER: Located here.
FINAL NOTES: While he’s entirely healthy, Sasuke will be arriving sans the majority of his left arm. Because he’s incapable of resolving his disagreements with his words. Also a sword, but that’s way less interesting.
