Appearance:
Personality:
Shikamaru is an extremely unenthusiastic person, and as such lives his life avoiding work. This is partly due to seeking paths of least resistance, as he often chooses to do things he would otherwise not do if people nag him enough. His plans on life reflect this aspect of his personality, as he plans to be an average ninja making an average salary, and retire once his children become independent. In his free time he typically takes naps, watches clouds, and plays strategy games such as Shogi and Go. When put into a situation where he potentially needs to put effort into something, he attempts to try to find a way to avoid it such as forfeiting a battle or by pretending to be preoccupied with something else. In the instances where he can't avoid these situations, Shikamaru tends to remark "how troublesome" (He also describes women in this way). He is fully aware of this side of his personality, even dubbing himself "the number one at running away". Despite his cowardly personality, Shikamaru is amazingly intelligent. Asuma, wondering why Shikamaru was always able to beat him at Shogi and Go despite receiving grades at the Academy that were almost as bad as Naruto's, disguised an IQ test as a series of puzzles to see how smart Shikamaru really was. Asuma found Shikamaru to have an IQ of over 200, and learned that Shikamaru's poor grades were a result of him being too lazy to pick up a pencil and take the tests. Nevertheless, Shikamaru works very well with his teammates as their fathers were teamed together in their youth as well. Of his teammates, Shikamaru is closest with Choji, who repays Shikamaru's confidence in him with unyielding loyalty to Shikamaru. Shikamaru also has a strong bond with Asuma, often spending time with him playing strategy games. He even vows to protect Asuma and Kurenai's unborn child for Asuma's sake.
History:
In his academy days, Shikamaru was too lazy to even pick up a pencil to take notes, or do a test. Because of this, he was seen as stupid since he received grades almost as bad as Naruto's. After three years in the academy, he graduated and continued to be an unmotivated slacker on Team 10.
Despite his laziness, Shikamaru ended up passing the Chuunin exams on his first try. In fact, he was the only person to become a Chuunin that year. This was due to his amazing intelligence. He forfeited the match to Temari, but after the incredible tactics that he displayed, it was decided that he was definitely Chuunin material.
Later on, he showed his intelligence once again as he was put in charge of the "Save Sasuke" mission. With only a few hours to prepare, he put together a team consisting of Kiba, Himself, Naruto, Choji and Neji. Using that formation, they were able to defeat the Sound 5. In the end, many of the team members were badly hurt and Sasuke escaped. The mission was a disaster, and Shikamaru became very depressed over it.
Shippuuden...
Three years later, nothing had really changed about Shikamaru. He was still a lazy smartass. The only difference was that he had more experience as a ninja, and was of course bigger and stronger. Nothing happening, Shikamaru continues to laze about, taking naps and being annoying.
And that's where we are!

Ninjutsu:
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu:
Kage Bunshin is a Jounin level Ninjutsu technique. When Naruto stole the scroll of seals, he learned this technique as well. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance. The Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance. The clone itself can also utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained is passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones.
Kage Mane no Jutsu:
Kage Mane no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique developed by the Nara clan. It's original purpose was as a skill to help delay any pursuers. After forming the needed hand seals, the clan member is able to manipulate their shadow along any surface. By using other nearby shadows they can further extend the reach of their shadow, however they are limited to the surface area of the original cast shadow. Once the clan members shadow reaches the target shadow, it will attach itself. While attached the target will be frozen, only able to replicate in mirror form the actions of the clan member.
Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu:
Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique developed by the Nara clan. To perform the technique the clan member will first bind their target using the Kage Mane no Jutsu technique. Once the target can no longer move, they form the needed hand seal to initiate this technique. The clan member uses their shadow to form a hand which will creep up their opponents body to their neck. Once the hand reaches the neck, it will constrict in such a manner so as to strangle the opponent.
Kage Mane Shuriken:
Kage Mane Shuriken no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique developed by Shikamaru. Using Asuma's knives, Shikamaru can imbue his shadow chakra to create "pins" to stick his opponent in place. These knives absorb the chakra nature of the user and give off the nature's effect. In this case, the knives take on the Nara clan's shadow binding properties. By implanting the shadow chakra enhanced blade into the shadow of his target, they will be frozen in place; just as if they were caught in one of the clan members extended shadow bindings.
Kage Nui:
Ninpou: Kage Nui is a Ninjutsu technique developed by the Nara clan. To perform the technique Shikamaru will first form the needed handseal to extend his shadow. Shikamaru will then change the handseal to cause the shadow to emerge from the ground in tendrils. The tendrils can extend and whip about and are strong enough to pierce nearby targets.
Kage Yose:
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.
