Canon information (spoilers, y0): Naruto had the misfortune of being born on the day a nine tailed fox demon attacked his village. Said demon was finally stopped by Yondaime Hokage (Fourth Village Leader) when he sealed Kyuubi inside Naruto, though it cost Yondaime his life to do so. The Yondaime expected Naruto to be treated as a hero, but in fact the villagers hate him and do not see him as anything more than the container for a demon that killed so many of their loved ones. While the adults were forbidden to speak of what Naruto was and as such their children have no idea, children lean social interactions from their parents, and Naruto is hated by most of his peers as well. The exception to this is his fellow genin, who, after working with him closely and being blessed by Naruto's Jesus powers, have come to be his friends.

He grew up on his own - we have no idea who his parents are or what happened to them, though there are canon hints that the Yondaime might have been his father; they strongly resemble each other, other characters have remarked upon their similarity personality-wise and in recent manga issues, Kakashi actually has a moment where he sees Yondaime rather than Naruto after a powerful jutsu has been used. At some point, he entered the ninja academy, where he was a poor student; it took him several tries before he managed to graduate as a genin, and even that required a special circumstance (though we later learn he couldn't pass the test because he had too *much* power and no one had taught him to control it.) Graduation was his first step on the road to his dream of becoming Hokage and showing people he's not the demon they think he is.

Once graduated, he was placed on a team with fellow classmates Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke. Long story short(er), Naruto canonically crushes on Sakura, Sakura canonically crushes on Sasuke, and Sasuke canonically hates everything that breathes - or pretends to, anyway. Some background on Sasuke, since you need to know his motivations to understand Naruto's: when Sasuke was 8, his older brother Itachi (strongeruchiha) slaughtered their clan, leaving only Sasuke alive, telling him to grow strong, hateful, etc. etc. so that he can at some point kill Itachi. And that is what Sasuke is trying to do. He's the top in his class, the Uchiha genius, and Naruto's greatest rival. Naruto is constantly striving to surpass Sasuke and be recognized by him, and Sasuke is constantly putting Naruto down, calling him dead-last, idiot and the like. But when push comes to shove in the beginning, pre-skip, they are also constantly there for each other, risking their lives to save the other's, pushing the other to do his best, beating the hell out of each other. Typical shounen anime material.

Now for the meat of the plot - and I'm doing some serious omitting here, but this is already too long. There comes a point in time when Sasuke - who doesn't know that much of Naruto's power at that time comes from Kyuubi- reaches his limit in terms of frustration and patience when it becomes clear that Naruto is growing in power far quicker than he is. He is offered power via a curse seal by the leader of another ninja village, Orochimaru, who just happens to be an ex-Leaf nin bent on destroying Konoha. Sasuke takes him up on the offer and defects. Naruto, along with several of his classmates, chase after him. Battles are fought, ninja boys are made to look pretty when they bleed, and in the end Naruto and Sasuke have this epic battle with Sasuke genuinely trying to kill Naruto. Without revealing too much plot, Naruto manages to live, but loses the fight, and Sasuke leaves him unconscious and makes his way to Orochimaru's side.

Mixed in with the whole Orochimaru deal is the additional plot of Itachi - Sasuke's brother - suddenly showing up, pwning Sasuke like he was still an 8 year old child, torturing their sensei and trying to kidnap Naruto for his demon. Sasuke doesn't take well to Itachi paying attention to Naruto, and that, too, pushes him to defect. I do, however, think it's worth a mention that Sasuke was very obviously afraid for Naruto's safety when he heard of Itachi's plans, though, and his intent after learning them was to help/save Naruto initially.

At this point in the plot, there is a skip of roughly 2.5 years. Naruto has promised Sakura that he'll retrieve Sasuke, and leaves to travel and train with one of the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya. We don't see what happens during these 2.5 years, but what is important to note is that they are limited in time; in three years from the time Sasuke left, Orochimaru will be taking over Sasuke's body, and they need to retrieve Sasuke before that can happen. Naruto is taken from the tail end of this time period; he and Jiraiya were headed back to Konoha when he was snatched from his bed and deposited in the woods in camp.

A few things to note: It's important to understand that Naruto's entire life for the last several years has been devoted to becoming stronger so he can bring Sasuke home. Sasuke is, really, the center of his universe at this time - he is, frankly, obsessed. He promised Sakura he'd bring Sasuke home, and that's what he'll do, or he'll die trying.

Kakashi-sensei says Naruto's special gift is making people like him without having to do much for it (unless you're his village, apparently), and there are a number of people whose lives have been majorly affected by Naruto and his positive attitude on life. And his fists, but hey. Shounen anime, it's a requirement.

Medical Info: Uh. Super-duper healing abilities that seem to work quite randomly? There really doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to what's healed and what's not. Canon's shown him with small injuries and large healing, and it's also shown him with bandages from things that haven't healed, and in dire need of medical assistance. Handy for me, I suppose; I can pick and choose what happens if an injury occurs. He can also burn all of his skin off while leaving his clothing intact; now that's a feat.

Is having an incredibly powerful demon trapped in your body a medical issue? 9-tailed kitsune, sealed in his belly. Not a friendly guy, very, very large, could easily sit on camp. Likened unto a force of nature. Would be happy to eat you for brunch.

Physical Traits: Orange and black track suit like outfit, a necklace given to him by the current Hokage. He also has a seal on his belly, though it'll only show if he's using his chakra, and marks on his face that look like whiskers. I don't know if they're scars or what, it's never made clear.

Using Kyuubi's chakra, there's a few noticeable traits that change/grow depending on how much chakra he's using. His eyes will turn red and the pupils slitted, the marks on his face will widen. He'll grown fangs and claws. If he really starts pulling the chakra, said chakra should become visible to the naked eye as a red aura around him, and those sensitive to such things should feel rather discomfited by it. (I am going to assume that at some point he is going to be able to pull his own chakra enough for that aura to show, and it'll be blue and without that 'crawling in your skin' feeling). Even more chakra and he'll sprout a chakra tail, and that will always be red. He is, in theory, capable of sprouting up to nine tails, though at present we've only seen him with four. Anyone in camp that comes upon him with four tails needs to either 1) Find Sasuke or Itachi ASAP or 2) kiss their ass goodbye, because at four tails, he's lost all sense of himself and camp is about to become a smoking crater. It's possible there are others in camp that could stop him, but not knowing a lot of the camp-present canons, I'm not going to speculate on that here.

What's Ok to Mention: Anything. The kid has no secrets and is wide open to discussing anything, though comments about Sasuke as they pertain to things beyond a friendship sense will make him squirm and try to change the subject.

Notes for the Psychics: Hrm. Has some deeply-buried confidence issues in regards to certain situations generally revolving around Uchihas, but he bounces back from those issues fairly easily. Kyuubi, if they can pick up on him. Naruto pretty much wears his emotions on his sleeve, though, so I don't know that any psychics would need to use their powers to pick anything up.

Abilities: Naruto's power goes above and beyond the other ninjas', as he has access to Kyuubi's chakra. Just how much hasn't been made clear yet, but suffice it to say he's a regular powerhouse, though his lack of control makes his powerhouse status less of a threat than it could be. He's currently working on that issue with Kurama and Yuusuke. When they aren't accidentally turning him into an infant.

He has various jutsus/moves he does, and I expect there's more than just these, but this is what we've seen in canon so far that he's able to do in camp:

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu - One of Naruto's three series signature jutsus. It allows him to create living clones of himself; they may bleed, they share his chakra, you can't tell them from the real thing. They can either be dismissed or will disappear if injured. No one knows how they are controlled, though since they can act in concert, it seems likely to me Naruto has some mental control over them - which says a LOT about his mental capabilities, especially when he uses Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.

Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu - Lots of clones. LOOOTS of clones. Thousands, even. Takes a shitload of power, and most people can't pull it off to the extent he can.

Rasengan - Another of Naruto's signature jutsus. He gathers a ball of spinning chakra in his hand and can blow holes through things with it. The strength can be adjusted to fit Naruto's needs. It's a very high-level jutus, one that the Yondaime created and which he never had the ability to perfect/complete. It only took Naruto a matter of days to master it to the point Yondaime did. Shortly after mastering it (while, presumably, he was still fairly weak at it) he got in a fight wherein he blew a water tower to holy hell. Rasengan's fuck-all strong.

Odama Rasengan - Similar to the regular Rasengan, though a clone that is also using Rasengan joins his jutsu with the real Naruto's to create an even more powerful ball of chakra.

Kuchiyose no Jutsu - This is a summoning technique. Naruto has a contract - written in blood - wherein he can summon frogs/toads. It doesn't sound that impressive until you meet Gama Bunta, who'se the equivalent of a toad mob boss, several stories tall and kick-ass cool. For the purposes of camp, I've made it that Naruto can only summon the small, dumber frogs; anything larger would enable him to contact the outside world, which is a camp no-no.

Oiroke no Jutsu (Sexy no Jutsu) - Aaaand Naruto's final signature jutsu; turning into a sexy naked chick! Naruto actually taught several campers this jutsu to beat a plague that was thought to target firstborn sons, and created some serious camp mayhem when Ash Ketchum somehow twisted the jutsu into turning him into a boy!cow that squirts milk. Naruto mentions in canon that he has a better version of this now, but we've yet to see what it is.

Haremu no Jutsu - Same as above, but there's multiple naked chicks!

Bunshin Taiatari - I'm not 100% sure on this one, but I believe it's when he falls on someone from above with clones and slams them with a body blow.

Sennen Goroshi (One Thousand Years of Death) - In short? The butt poke. Clasp your hands together, stick out your pointer fingers, and jab your target in the ass. Combined with some other weapons, it's actually a fairly decent offensive move. In camp, though? Totally for comedic effect. XD

Henge no Jutsu - A jutsu used to turn oneself into someone else, at least physically. One of the most basic ninja moves, Naruto had a great deal of trouble with it in academy because he has so much chakra, and his control is less than stellar. It's easier for him to create 2000 clones than just one. He can do it now without problems, however. It also isn't limited to people; he's henged himself into weapons before as well. I would assume he (and the rest of the nin aside from Lee) can turn into pretty much anything they want.

Konbi Henge - Naruto changing himself, plus another person, into something else. In canon, he changed Gamabunta into Kyuubi using Gamabunta's chakra, as at the time he wasn't powerful enough to do it on his own. I play him powerful enough to do it himself now.

Shihohappo Shuriken - Naruto and his clones throwing a whole bunch of shuriken (throwing stars) at a target from all different directions.

Uzumaki Naruto Rendan - A move that Naruto pretty much ripped off from Sasuke and modified for his own use. Four clones kick someone into the air where either another clone or Naruto himself falls on the target from above and smashes them to the ground with a kick.

Uzumaki Naruto Nisen Rendan - Same as above, but uses two thousand clones. Yeah, someone will get the shit kicked out of them with this one. Can we say "overkill?"

Kawarimi no Jutsu - This is where a person replaces themselves with another object. For example, someone throws kunai at Naruto, and it appears he's been hit.. and then Naruto turns into a log and the attacker has to find where he's hidden himself. Generally, the ninja will use whatever's handy - logs, leaves, etc.

Tobidogu - He can summon large numbers of weapons, or larger-sized weapons, via a summoning scroll.

Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu - This isn't canon - Uchiha Itachi taught him this in camp. A large amount of chakra is expelled from the mouth through a hand cupped at the ninja's mouth; a Really Big fireball results.

Shapeshift/bodyswap/etc: In general, sure, but please talk to me beforehand. The only thing stopping me from doing it is my general discomfort in my ability to pull it off. :-p

Hugging/Kissing/Other non-violent physical contact: Is fine. He's a very physical boy, he likes hugs and kisses and casual touches. If they're of an "I'm interested in you" nature, though, he'll probably flail and blush a little. XD

Fighting: Sure, no need to ask, though if it's late in my time zone, I may have to bail. I don't rp fights very quickly. I would also ask that there be some AIM/IRC communication between us while the fight occurs, as I know very few camp canons and I like to know what to expect/how to react in these sorts of situations.

Maiming/Killing: Nnnng. Naruto doesn't use the moogles, as he fears they may glitch and somehow free Kyuubi. If someone wants to kill him, please see me ahead of time. Killing him will also cause emo amongst the rest of my canon, and I'd like to go over it with them ahead of time as well. Maiming though is a total go. Just, uh. Don't take off his head or anything, I'm not sure he can regenerate that. ^_^;;

Cooking: Believe it or not, he can. He just likes ramen better. He will cook for people he cares about if the opportunity arises, though.
