Revisions~
From a very young age, Madara had to learn how to fend for himself due to the war-torn state of the world. He's one of those children who is willing to try to eat anything due to how he grew up, and he's used to providing for himself and his brother both, which means that he is always slightly paranoid about having enough to eat. In fact, his brother is the driving force behind many of his habits, and what has inspired his drive for peace, since he had lost most of his other siblings to war. It means that he's protective and forever trying to be the most powerful he can, because he doesn't want to go through any more loss.
In fact, it's to the point where he absolutely despises wars, even as he continues to fight on in them, perpetuating the cycle he wants to abolish and fighting people far far older than him to the death. His hands are not clean of blood, and that's played a heavy role in how he views the world. He is young, and he is already blooded, but that doesn't mean he wants to see more children follow in his footsteps. In fact, in some ways it allowed him to dare to dream, to crave a future where things were different.
This brings us to Hashirama. A boy who shares his vision, but would, for the rest of his life, push him higher and higher, be it as a friend or enemy. He inspired him to train harder, fight longer, and think more deeply. He also, in the future, would play a heavy role in the choices he made, though at this stage they're still friends, allies in the fight to stop war and bring peace. There is a show of being hypocrites in the fact that while they agree that the best way to end war is through understanding, through being open and understanding with others, they never share their last names. Their clans are at war, and while both suspect, they refuse to consider risking their friendship over the truth.
He prizes his moments of peace too much to risk them. The chance to joke and play like the child he'd never gotten to be captivates him and makes him do things his clan would never agree to, even if it's something so simple as skipping stones with an enemy child. Then again, even that isn't untainted by war, as the act of making the stone reach the other side speaks to him, telling him that there is a way out on the other side of war, if he just tries hard enough.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
Strengths-
-He has an excellent throwing arm. And this covers more than just the above mentioned stones mind you. Even as a child, he could win in combat against many adults of other clans he would go up against in battle, and more than a few of these situations involved throwing weapons.
-His reaction time is split-second and his reflexes are nearly unmatched. He's fast, but he's also very alert to his surroundings and it gives the illusion that he's reacting almost before people believe he's noticed.
-He's sturdy. If one were to look up resilience in the dictionary, there would most likely be Madara's portrait under its description. He's proven to be more than capable of taking a beating and to keep going in spite of it.
-He has mental fortitude and a strong heart. He's spent his entire life fighting in wars where, a fact he is well aware of, he can die at any moment. He has seen many die, killed by his own blade or around him, and he is still holding on to search for a way to peace, convinced that there is a way.
-He is determined, and turns his fears into strength. The constant worries about losing those who matter who him have fueled a staggeringly impressive drive to improve himself. He lets nothing get in his way, and he will do as he must to avoid his fears coming true.
-He has strong opinions. In fact, Madara will not hesitate to speak his mind no matter how well advised it may or may not be. People he can trust, he will go as far as to berate, telling them exactly what he feels they should be doing.
Strength/Weakness- His little brother. He wants to protect him at any cost, and sometimes this goes immediately against whatever might have personally benefited him. It also leaves him adrift when he is not there. It means that he can go to lengths that are unheard of at any other time, making him staggeringly powerful... But it's a weakness too. He failed to save his three other siblings, and this seems to make him crumble far too easily when nothing else would.
Weakness-
-Madara holds a grudge. Since his three other siblings were killed by the Senju clan, they are the only ones whom he will never forgive regardless of what they may say or do for him personally. He will not forgive, he will not forget, and it would take barely any reminder to set it off. His hatred for those who wrong him runs stronger than even logic could dictate, and this is not the only time this tendency is seen.
-He's oversensitive. Often he hides it behind a temper that he doesn't hold under any check, though he is capable of restraining, or channeling, it when it comes to battle. Outside of battle however, he flies off the handle at any given moment for the smallest of things, appearing to have no notion of patience or understanding.
-He has trouble with his paranoia. In fact, he's so hyper aware of his surroundings that his concentration broken when anyone stands behind him. A glaring example of this is that he was unable to do his business and pee when Hashirama went and stood behind him on purpose to check that very thing.
-He's not as confident as he pretends. His entire demeanor changes if his dead brothers come up, making him feel his abilities will never be enough. He even went so far as stating he was 'not that great' even after saying he could win over his friend with complete conviction moments before.
