For posterity's sake: The App
Character: Aburame Shino
Series: Naruto (drawn from the manga, prior to the time gap)
Character Age: 12
Canon: The Aburame clan of the Hidden Leaf village is a family of ninja that specialize in the use of bugs; they can communicate with them, and at birth, the Aburame children are given to the “Destruction Bugs;” these bugs crawl around and nest within their bodies, and feed off of their host’s chakra. In return, the host gains control over them, and may use them extensively for defensive, offensive, and information-gathering purposes.

Never smiling, Shino himself is a very serious, collected boy. A member of the ninja genin team 8, alongside Hyuuga Hinata and Inuzuka Kiba, he’s very smart, but he is also not a people person. Shino is a character that is written to be mysterious; his power and intelligence is often understated, as he has a much smaller role in the scope of things than many of the other ninja, and even when he is involved, the boy rarely talks unless he really has to. He can probably ellipsis-sex with the best of them. When he does get around to talking, however, he’ll always get right down to business.

…The insects in this encampment have told me strange stories, claiming to be developing their own miniature societies. The ones I spoke to have, apparently, split into three main factions, each claiming to worship a different deity—one of three people who can supposedly create and destroy with a simple clap of the hands. It was when we were on this subject that they began to argue amongst themselves, each saying their deity was the correct one to worship. Eventually they each demanded that I appeal to their particular deity for a magnifying glass and a sunny day, with which to “smite the infidel nonbelievers!” As it was apparent I would not get any useful information from them at that point, I left them to complete my business. As I left, they began to threaten that if I did not fulfill their demands, they would make me suffer greatly.

In retrospect, perhaps I should have heeded their warnings. They have replaced my sunglasses with a pair I am told a man named “Elton John” would wear. Should anyone find my normal sunglasses, I would greatly appreciate it if you would return them to me.

In any case, I am here to find my teammate, one Hyuuga Hinata. Tracking her has proved far more difficult than I originally expected, as it seems my teammates are averse to the idea of my planting bugs on them to make locating them easier. As such, I am surprised Kiba has not already found his way here; between his impeccable sense of smell and his dog, he is far better at tracking someone than I am, when I cannot simply follow the pheromones of my insects. So if someone could point the way to my teammate, I would prefer to meet up with her and leave before the local bugs can think of another way to attempt to take further action against me.

Should you need to contact me, my name is Aburame Shino, and despite anything this computer says, I am not “crawling in my skin.”
