nihonjika1.) Shikamaru doesn't drink often, but when he does he's usually the last or one of the last ones standing. Ask him about and and he'll claim that it comes from that troublesome mother of his.
2.) The few times he has gotten drunk he was almost completely useless for the following twenty-four hours due to a killer hangover. He blames that on his dad.
3.) He has no cliched issues with leaving his hair out of it's ponytail. It's just easier to deal with that way.
4.) When he was little he spent a lot of time with the deer his family raised. For him they were never just pets or livestock, but members of the family.
5.) One of the oldest deer in his family's herd is Hana, a female that's almost as old as he is. She was his best friend until around age five when he met Chouji. Now they share the title.
6.) He was not a virgin before coming to the Facility, and he's not particularly shy about sex. It's just not something worth getting too flustered over as far as he's concerned. He doesn't chase after it, but he's certainly not going to turn it down either.
7.) Shika's right in the middle as far as sexual preference goes, though he tends to gravitate towards guys more often simply because all of the women he knows are shinobi, and therefore are pushy and extremely troublesome.
8.) Shika's got a soft spot for kids for reasons that are very obvious if you know his history. He likes to help out at the Academy and wouldn't be adverse to getting a job teaching... no matter how much he complains otherwise.
9.) He wants to be there when Kurenai has her baby. He plans to be right where Asuma would be if he could, pacing the waiting room and getting yelled at by nurses for trying to smoke in the hospital.
10.) Shikamaru planned on quitting smoking after Hidan and Kakuzu were resolved, but the habit was harder to kick than he'd anticipated.
11.) He's very hard to provoke. Unless in a serious battle situation, he fights only just enough to defend himself, if that. He'd prefer to walk away.
12.) He has no problem with being called a coward. As far as he's concerned it's still true. He's just a coward who knows when it's time to step up to bat.
13.) A lifetime of constant naps has left him sensitive to sleep deprivation. He's the type of guy who shows it very obviously when he doesn't get his full eight hours or more of sleep per night.
14.) Everyone knows that Shika is always thinking 200 steps ahead, but few people realize that it's not entirely voluntary, or how tiring it can be to never really be able to wind down. His overactive mind his most of the reason he likes to sleep as much as possible.
15.) The clouds are another distraction from the near chaos in his brain. He likes them because even with knowledge of weather patterns, wind speed, and all the mathematics that go with it, you can't always tell where the clouds are going to go.
16.) As a strategist it's very important to him that things go according to plan. His laid-back attitude masks it most of the time, but Shikamaru can't help but panic a bit inwardly when a situation evolves beyond what he was prepared to deal with.
17.) At the same time he has an affinity for unpredictable things and people so long as he doesn't have to try to plan too much for/around them. He welcomes anything that shakes up the ordinary and keeps his mind occupied.
18.) Shikamaru doesn't think very highly of himself as a shinobi. It has nothing to do with a lack of self-confidence, but simple knowledge of what he is and is not capable of. He's very aware of his status as a strategist and not a front-line fighter, though he's been known to ignore than knowledge from time to time.
19.) He doesn't bother much with honorifics or proper titles unless he's specifically instructed to do so. They're just another thing not worth worrying too much about.
20.) He's gotten better about it over time, but he can still come off as chauvinistic from time to time. Usually after some woman has insulted or injured him in some way. The comments he might make are rarely truly malicious, mostly habit now after all this time.
