Lol. BAD. Errrr. That is. I know I'm a little late to the party, but RPing Naruto is one of my main joys in life. TELL ME HOW TO DO IT BETTER. Only way to become the best Naruto rper on the net is to get concrit in gratuitous amounts. Don't be gentle. Lamb can take it. ;3

Lamb. Love this Naruto. I do. He's great. He's involved in everyone's business and really caring and just- he's like, "D< BE HAPPY, GODDAMMIT." You don't forget to make him caring or meaningful in cases where he needs to be, and you don't forget to make him scream when he needs to scream.

But can he be a little more not-angry!happy? He ... he reminds me just a tad bit of Deidara. Just a smudge, but that smudge really sticks out on occasion. Make him a little more ... foxy?

Thank you so much for participating in this, bb. I know I'm totally late to the party, but concrit really helps. x3 I've been trained to love it up real hard.

I'm also really glad you love this Naruto. I've developed this monstrous amount of affection and it would really suck to be the only one who felt that way. I know our characters don't interact much yet, but it's my hope that they will, if only to make Naruto yet another person's punching bag. ♥ Jeez, I'm abusive.

The thing about the inherent anger seems to be offsetting to a lot of people, so I'll try to tone it down a bit. His circumstances are generally getting a lot better, so I think I can probably say for a fact that he won't be too angry for much longer. Hopefully you can help guide me through the process of making him a happier person. :D

He's so noisy!! Its wonderful how noisy he is, actually. I wish there was a way to be noisy without being in all caps. Caps have been mistranslated as anger--which needed to be translated to me!!

I love Naruto and its nice to have one who's bouncy off the walls, but I hope to see more of the happy go lucky side of him again soon! :) ((I'm probably barking up the wrong tree, but its how I see it. ^^; He's hard to read sometimes through all his noisy-ness.))

What lazy. What. No lazy up in hurr. Only Jessie.

I almost wish there were too, but font doesn't really have a volume meter. I keep feeling bad for breaking everybody's pages with his spew, but if you like how loud he is, than I think I probably can too.

And I agree with you - like I said to Krizzie (just above you), everyone seems to think he's a bit too angry considering the circumstances, and I promise to work on that. His temper's been exceedingly short lately.

Thank you for the feedback! ♥

I think one of my pet peeves is how you've had him list and define things, pointing out errors and other things when Naruto is either mad or annoyed. Such as his talking with Dosu over the whole party. I don't really see Naruto as doing that, since when wash anolitical and organized like that? I don't really see it, that or him being a spelling/grammar Nazi like in the whitewall meme. It's Naruto. Would he care about proper spelling? To me it doesn't really mesh with how he is canonly or as you portray him.

The swearing gets to me too. Is he this verbally colorful in the show? He's said damn, and a few others but you've REALLY having him swear a lot. Naruto is meant to be the nice guy who can become friends with any one in some way, shape or form. Yours tends to push others away with this behaviour.

And he's very angry now... Even when you have him happy he comes off as defensive.

That's all I can really think of now. And I typed all this on my iPhone too.

Thank you so much for all the feedback! I was surprised to get it, since this post kind of got buried under all my other ones, but I'm always glad when people respond to this sort of thing.

What you've listed here is definitely stuff I can work with, but a lot of the first things you talk about is stuff I've heard before... I play a much different Naruto than most people are used to. Hopefully, that's a good thing. Sometimes it's not.

He's definitely a bit smarter here, academically, than in the anime, but I really think that a lot of his "smarts" get lost in translation. I guess what I'd say is that a lot of what you're talking about - spelling and all that - would be evident if this RP were all in Japanese. Since most of our players aren't fluent speakers, that obviously can't happen. Like in the anime, Naruto still can't read kanji, the most advanced Japanese alphabet very well. But spelling errors on the computer are much harder to make, since Japanese computer writing systems auto-correct. But, since I'm probably one of the
