Personality:
Kakashi at this age is a bit of a jerk. Okay, not nearly as much as he used to be but he hasn’t yet reached the level of playfulness that his older shelf has. The hardness that Kakashi can show stems from the fact that his father was a great shinobi and one that he looked up to. He was revered and feared by many up until the point where he put his team over his mission and it helped lead to a great world-wide war. Sakumo was dishonored and even slandered by the village until he fell into a deep depression and took his own life. The hole it made in Kakashi’s life made him withdraw and become harsh. He lived by the shinobi rules and discarded everything useless in his life – including his own teammates. Kakashi even starting hiding his face with a mask because he looked so much like his father and wanted nothing to do with him.
Because of his coldness and ideals Kakashi never got along with Obito. They were always fighting, with Kakashi always putting the other boy down with harsh words and cold looks. They never quite seemed to see eye-to-eye on matters and it turned them into rivals despite the fact that they were on the same team. Kakashi was always outdoing him and Obito was always left behind trying to catch up. Generally it led to Obito to be frustrated and Kakashi never hesitated to quote rules at him.
Due to the fact that Kakashi lived and breathed the shinobi code, he’s a very skilled shinobi. He was the first on the team to make it to jounin levels, though Kakashi’s attitude often pushed away his teammates when he should have worked together with them. It sort of makes his leadership skills a bit of a failure. Yet it makes him very aware of his surroundings and perceptive as hell. He can sense when there’s danger nearby and react accordingly. Ever since his father’s death, Kakashi has strived to be better than him – to be stronger and a perfect shinobi. Though he ended up lacking when it came down to leading his first mission which led to fatal mistakes. Now his determination to be stronger lies in protecting the people he cares about, so he’ll do everything he can to make sure they stay safe.
However, after losing Rin to the enemy a fight broke out between the two boys and has made Kakashi rethink his attitude. Obito basically told him that those who didn’t care about their teammates were worse than trash. Initially Kakashi turned away and continued on with his mission instead of rescuing his teammate, pushing aside the part of him that was afraid of the past. It wasn’t until he was alone when he remembered how Rin treated his wounds and Obito’s words and it was a huge turning point for him. He abandoned his mission and put his fellow teammates first. He even went so far as to take an injury in order to save Obito from being killed.
In the end it was Obito’s death that caused the biggest change in him, losing a teammate he’d never even been nice to was hard. Especially considering that Obito had sacrificed himself to save Kakashi and then proceeded to give him the undamaged sharigan. Kakashi promised to protect Rin and continued to live on for Obito’s sake. He also started to take on Obito’s ideals and morals, something that can be easily seen in his future when he teaches Team 7 that teammates come first. Though for now, as time went by it’s evident that he takes Obito’s last request very seriously. When Rin was captured he went after her, wanting to protect her even from herself. Yet in the end he failed and she died by his own hand. It was pretty traumatic for him. And now the last of his team has died, his sensei Minato. Yet another person who’s sacrificed themselves for the good of someone else. Needless to say, reuniting with them will be a pretty big deal for Kakashi.
Since Rin’s death, Kakashi has taken on small parts of Obito’s personality. It’s not yet reached the level it is in the future considering he’s still living in hard times but he is late to meetings quite a bit, usually making up a lie to go with it. Generally Kakashi’s late because he stands at the graves of his teammates and loses track of the time talking to them. This is something he does a lot of, just talking about what’s going on. Then because he doesn’t want people to know what he’s doing Kakashi makes up strange lies or uses ones Obito has in the past. He’s also become a bit more tolerable of things that would have annoyed him in the past, such as a fellow shinobi constantly challenging him.
He hasn’t yet completely taken on the happy-go-lucky attitude he has in the future. No, he’s still a bit somber in his daily life though he’s far more tolerable than he was in the past. Plus a lot of the bite and harshness has gone away. It’ll be noticeable to those who knew him when he was a cold jerk that he’s lightened up a bit. Not to mention that he doesn’t quote shinobi rules anymore. However, that doesn’t mean he won’t pick on people in a teasing manner in a flat tone. Change doesn’t happen overnight, after all. He still has a long way to go before he’s the sensei Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke know. Though he does keep things bottled up quite nicely. Kakashi probably won’t talk much about the fact that everyone but him is dead.
There is one thing about him that hasn’t changed though, and that’s his merciless attitude. As a shinobi he’s been trained to kill and he will if that’s his mission. He doesn’t think twice about the fact that he’s taking a life (unless it’s someone he cares about). Any enemy of his should think twice about attacking one of his teammates though. Kakashi is completely ruthless when angered. There was no hesitation in going after the shinobi that killed Obito, no room for forgiveness either. He wouldn’t be stopped in his vengeance, not even when his blade snapped in half. Basically, don’t mess with his team and everything will be fine.
When he arrives in Route there will be so much more added guilt on Kakashi’s shoulders. Not only is he suddenly faced with his entire dead teammates but facing Obito after failing to protect Rin will pile on more. He’ll be reluctant to talk about it, with anyone, and probably never want to tell Obito. Plus Kakashi has yet to actually deal with the fact that his sensei and sensei’s wife just died so there’s going to be a whole chunk of denial about that particular issue. Kakashi is not the sort to shed tears though Obito’s eye has betrayed him in the past on that.
Kakashi Hatake || Naruto || Reserved Part II
◆ As a shinobi Kakashi has stealth skills.
◆ He's been trained in hand-to-hand combat along with kunai, shurikens and short swords.
◆ His strength and agility are also far better than a normal 14 year old.
◆ Kakashi has intelligence, skill and aptitude. He graduated the Academy at five years old after only a year and joined his team. He became a Chunin a year after joining the team and was also the first out of his teammates to become a Jounin. That means he's capable of leading his team. (Though honestly, both of his teammates died when he was in charge.)
◆ Perceptive. Even without the use of the Sharigan, Kakashi was always able to detect when trouble was near.
◆ Determined. Kakashi is always looking to strengthen himself. It's important in attempting to protect the ones he cares about
◆ Survivor. Not only has Kakashi survived the deaths of his entire team, he survived a war. While he may not exactly be happy about it he lives on.
◆ Creative. Only maybe not so much anymore. He created a new jutsu called the Chidori and later the Raikiri. This shows that he had some level of creativity before he became known as the Copy Ninja.
◆ Obito. Okay so maybe a few would think that Obito is kind of a weakness because he's a derp but actually, he kind of brought out the best in Kakashi. He made Kakashi start thinking about his feelings and abandon his previous way of thinking that emotions are unnecessary baggage. Since Obito's death, he's far more focused on saving/helping his teammates now and loosened up a little.
◆ Loosened up some. He used to be such a stick-in-the-mud, always reciting rules and putting Obito down. While he'll still poke fun at Obito's expense (and possibly others), there won't be nearly as much malice in it.
◆ His mask. It's something Kakashi wears a lot of the time. It's great for hiding a good chunk of his face and can give him an excellent poker face. Also, great material for poking fun at people who want to see under it.
◆ First-aid training. He can tend to minor wounds with a first-aid like kit. Though Kakashi generally left the healing to Rin.
◈ Teammates.
They're Kakashi's biggest strength and weakness. He finally learned what it meant to be a teammate, accepted that it was okay to put them before the mission and what do they do? They up and die on him. ALL OF THEM. In about a year span. Obviously he'll be overprotective of all of them which could be considered a great weakness - especially in the shinobi world.
◈ His father.
When Kakashi's father committed suicide due to the ridicule of choosing to save his teammates instead of completing his mission, it set Kakashi on the path to pushing away everything that was unnecessary. It made him a bit of a jerk, to be honest. He's slowly getting away from that but Konoha wasn't built in a day.
◈ His eyes.
Under normal circumstances Kakashi's left eye is a great help to him thanks to the fact that he implanted Obito's Sharigan in it. While he'll still be able to use it to see, it'll lose it's special abilities to let him see chakra. Also, he covers it a lot (due to the fact that overuse can tire him out), which means he has to compensate for the lack of full peripheral vision. It'll be a little weird adjusting to both these things and thus a weakness. Note: His left eye will look like a sharigan (because it never changes back to normal) but will be useless except to see with.
◈ Gai.
Kakashi's long-time rival. Or something. Gai seems to think that he needs to beat Kakashi so he's constantly challenging him. Kakashi acts aloof about the whole thing but agrees in the end. Actually, this is a bonding experience for them. It builds trust and camaraderie.
◇ Guilt. OMG so much guilt you can't even begin to understand. Guilt for killing Rin, for not saving Obito & Minato, for breaking his promise to Obito.
◇ Lots of repressed emotions and memories. How could he not when he saw his two teammates die (killed one of them) and just got news of his Minato and Kushina's death too. He won't want to talk about it.
◇ Still has that harsh attitude as a defense mechanism. He hasn't yet completely transitioned over to being more Obito-like.
◇ Tardiness and lying. That is one thing he's sort of gotten from Obito, always being late and having a story to go with it. Except while Obito was actually sometimes helping little old ladies across town, Kakashi spends every morning talking to Rin and Obito's grave. He tends to lose track of time when he does this.
◇ Porn addiction. Okay, maybe not yet but give it a few years and it will be. He'll become so obsessed with Icha Icha series that even Naruto could use spoilers to make older-Kakashi lose a fight.
◇ It might be a little hard for him to form deep bonds. After the losses he's suffered he'll be a bit hesitant at first but he'll come around eventually.

First Person Sample:
[Video]
[Congratulations, Citizens of the Pokemon World. There is a video of a white haired teenage boy wearing a mask over the lower portion of his face but it doesn't stop with that. He also has a dark blue headband pulled down over his left eye. Behind him are the clear signs of trees and open wilderness and in his hand is the paper map.]
What can you tell me about the Gym Leaders in Johto?
Their strengths, weaknesses, how tough you found them to be when you fought them. Anything about your fight with them. I'm attempting to map out our journey but as it turns out my teammate is completely useless on this matter. [The words sound like they should be cruel but they lack bite.]
So the more information, the better.
Third Person Sample:
As if the weird woman calling herself 'mom', the green dog and the music wasn't strange enough, Kakashi also couldn't see through this genjutsu. His left eye wasn't working the way it should - the way it had since the day he'd gotten it. So he pulled of his hitae-ai and used it's reflective surface to look at it. The sharigan still swirled, red with black tomoe. Obito's eye looked like it had the last time Kakashi looked at it so why wasn't it working. He replaces his hitae-ai, pulling it low over his left eye to hide the mismatched eyes and scar. Maybe there would be someone here he could ask.
Time to dig through his bag and see what sort of supplies he had. A pair of clothes, an odd device that could serve as communication, some necessities, food and more importantly - papers. Papers meant information. There was a map and information about being a trainer. He supposed that's why the dog had followed him away from the house as he packed everything back up except for the papers and the communication device. It didn't escape his notice that his weapons were gone. Looks like he really will have to depend on the animal for protection until he could find replacements.
Kakashi stopped to look down at the dog and the dog looked back. "So what am I going to name you?"
The dog sat back on his haunches and wagged his tail in the dirt. In response the ninja crossed his arms over his chest. "What can you do?"
"Electrike!" Well, that was a weird response. Kakashi pointed his communication device at him and he tensed a little when it started talking. He listened to it closely though. "So you're an electric-type Pokemon. I've got just the name for you then. From now on you're going to be Chidori."
It jumped up, putting both front feet on Kakashi's leg and licking his hand enthusiastically. He pushed it down with a stern no. If he was supposed to train this thing then it would not jump on people unless invited. He started toward the road, intent on getting underway as there wasn't much point to sticking around here. "Let's go see if there's anyone we know here, Chidori. And keep quiet about it, now's a good time to learn stealth."
As soon as the words were out of his mouth Kakashi grew tense. There wasn't really anyone left to seek out. Not now that sensei had joined the rest of the team in the afterlife. Sure there was Guy and several others but no teammates. Maybe it was best if he just stuck it out on his own at this point. Yeah, that's what he'd do.
