I kept putting it off making this topic but since I did the work to answer chatte question might as well put it here for future reference. Also I'll be updating this and adding to it when I have to make a new nickname or I want to give my thoughts on a character.
Second paragraphs are for end of part one.
Main Characters:
Neo-Team 7:
Konohamaru is their team leader and in-theory jounin-sensei, but he's pretty much treated as this story's Yamato. Someone whose rank and power should give him some level of respect but is just treated as an unimportant joke.
Bolt is Boruto because in English his name means Bolt. He is pretty much a spoiled Naruto without any of his positive traits. His goal in life is to take up Sasuke's role as the Hokage's enforcer, the Hokage's Shadow, as such his goal in life is to be Salad's enforcer once she becomes Hokage, but Salad is unimportant to the plot. So this never gets focused on. Which means he is the only Shounen protagonist I've ever seen which both he and the story do not focus on his goal in the slightest. The only reason that is his goal story-wise is so Sasuke can be his mentor or Piccolo according to Kishimoto.
Well, at the end of part one he got his wish of not being Naruto's son, long after he supposedly stopped wishing for that. Or maybe he just hates his last name as he inherited it from his grandmother Kushina, the only family member he didn't mention in his speech of the legacies he is a part of. He is now a hunted criminal due to the events at the end of part one, but I don't see that meaning that much. He has the power of Shinjutsu which means he is stronger than everyone with them having no hope of even challenging him except four other characters in this story.
Salad is Sarada for the same reason. She is Sakura 2.0 with all the flaws removed and one of the most liked characters in Boruto. By Sakura 2.0 is the she has a lot of personality traits similar to her mother, but to make sure she didn't get the hatedom Sakura got that screwed over the franchise. They made sure she didn't have anything that made Sakura unpopular. Seen as useless as she is never involved in fights? Whenever she is involved in the story she will do something. Hits Naruto? She never hits Bolt...though because of how disliked Bolt is, it might actually improve both their images. In love with Sasuke while friend-zoning Naruto? She clearly is in love with Bolt after the chunin exam, though she won't admit it. Unattractive? ...The manga clearly wants you to think her as both sexy and sexual. She was also made the team leader of the four main characters. Despite all that, as well as the fact that Bolt's goal is to be her Danzo/Sasuke when she is Hokage. She is still barely involved in the plot. She currently seems to be placed in Shikamaru's old spot of the "closest friend to the main cast that is only sometimes involved in the story." Power-wise she is Sasuke with Sakura's super strength.
Apparently, Kodaichi was the only one of the three idiots that understood that Salad needed to be involved in the story. Cause once he was gone, the manga stop even pretending to involve her till the end where he real role was revealed. She is immune to Hime's Omnipotence power probably due to the power of true love or something, so she could convince her daddy to protect and train Bolt once the flip happened. She also got the her mangekyo sharingan in order to convince her father the seriousness of her request.
Cups is Mitsuki, because that one shot chapter where Orochimaru gave this speech about how he is a sake cup Boruto will fill. Make all the gay jokes you can think of. He is pretty much the group's Sai. Also, because Nail doesn't come into the anime until what, episode 200? He is popular because of the anime had to use and focus on him a lot in their filler, while in the manga he barely exist. He mainly does just what Sai did in Naruto: he in theory hangs around Bolt to learn to become more human but really he mainly hangs around Salad, ships Bolt and Salad together, and informs Salad and Bolt any information they do not know. And again since Salad isn't that important to the manga he isn't that important either despite the fact they are suppose to be Bolt's teammates. Power-wise he has snakes, stretchy arms, and sage mode.
He is the only member of the main cast, Konohamaru has long stopped being important by this point, that is under the effects of the reality flip. If they are smart they would have him figure out that Nail is not acting like his best friend, and realize Bolt was his true best friend. But, I doubt that.
Nail is Kawaki, since he is the new Sasuke and they started the manga showing the SNS conflict will happen again. I figured to give him a nickname similar to Bolt. He was one of the original character made by the new manga staff. So, he was pretty much the main character once he appeared. Since they don't feel any connection to the characters Kishimoto made. He is Naruto's apprentice instead of Salad because the manga doesn't care about her more then they have to. Naruto claims he is just like him but its clear he is the new Sasuke and he is likely to kill Naruto in some form of betrayal. That will turn him into the antagonist that wants to destroy the ninja system. Personality wise he is at least someone who is proactive in any situation and thinks of solutions. Which makes him better than Bolt's constant whining. Power-wise he can transform one of his arms into a treelike thing to attack people. Also he learned the shadow clone from Naruto.
He became Naruto's son due to the perspective flip between him and Bolt caused by Hime. He plans to kill Bolt for understandable reason, kill Femmy. The problem is he is going about it and seal away Naruto in such as stupid manner to the point it difficult to take him serious as a threat. He also antagonized Hime who is vital to keeping on his side for what he wants to happen. He is also clearly Ikemoto's author avatar.
Side Characters:
Neo-Team Ten:
Moegi is this teams sensei. I believe she has been stated to be Ikemoto's favorite character. She was given wood release for some reason.
Blond Sai is Sai's and Ino's son Inojin since he is pretty much Sai with blond hair and he is one of the most popular of the new character in the anime. Since, he is one the few that will call Bolt out for being an ass. Power-wise he has Sai's art jutsu but his look more cartoony.
Shikamaru's Son is Shikamaru's and Temari's son Shikadai. He is Shikamaru with green eye and in the anime he is Bolt's best friend. Power-wise he is Shikamaru.
Fat Filler is Choji's Daughter Chocho. She has that nickname because in the Sarada Gaiden she was a tag along that seemed to just exist to eat up page time by being the unfunny comic relief. She pretty much a fat black Ino and her main trait/joke is she thinks she super hot but everyone else just thinks she is just fat. She was likely originally suppose to be Chouji's and Ino's daughter before it was demanded there be an Ino-Shika-Cho group for the sequel. Power-wise she is Chouji, so they can make the joke that she is hot when she skinny but is unattractive when she is fat. So no, she is not a fat acceptance character; she is the opposite.
Team 5:
The Team sensei is Udon, Konohamaru glasses wearing friend. He some times pops up as a lackey in the background.
Metal Lee is Lee and likely Tenten's son. He barely appears in the manga. So, I haven't given him a nickname and his two teammates are anime original character that also haven't appeared in the manga yet. His gimmick is that he is Lee but shy with stage fright when performing attacks in front of people.
Train Boy is some Rich Train tycoon's son named Denki who makes friends with Boruto in the first episode and becomes his tag along servant/hype-man/lackey.
The Repeater is some kid named Iwabee that had to repeat three times to graduate because he was bad at studying. He was the only anime original character that I liked and had a good design.
Team 15:
Oh, the clones Sensei is Hanabi...god, the anime gave the clone Hinata's sister to help push her as the love interest didn't they.
The Clone is...Sumire the class president of their class in the academy. She is an anime original character that SP clearly intend to set her up as early as the new Hinata. She was also the villain of the first anime arc to make sure she was seen as important. She has appeared in the manga because I suspect SP made a stink because the manga considered the anime arcs filler like it was in Naruto, but they wanted all their episodes to be treated as just as canonical as the manga. So as a compromise/appeasement she started appearing in the manga as the assistant to Sleazy Inventor. She seems to have undergone a personality change once Kishimoto took over in the manga. She also seems to be heading towards a love triangle with Bolt and Nail.
She is also immune to Hime's Omnipotence, so Salad has someone on her side.
Sleazy Inventor, Katasuke was the guy who gave Bolt the device he used to cheat during the chunin exam. Since then, he has been portrayed as the nicest guy to ever exist, who just want to show the world what his inventions can do in order to help people. He is the one who makes all the scientific ninja tools for the village. Though they haven't been used much outside of Kara members since the fight with Ao.
Richie Rich is the Fire Daimyo's lonely son Tentou that wants to become a ninja. He is the manga's version of the kid Bolt helps to show he has depth (the manga's train boy) that shounen manga do in their second chapter. His story took 5 chapters/months.
Madoc...is Amado the doctor that defected from Kara and under Kodaichi couldn't stop monologuing to explain stuff. Seems to be increasingly taking Sleazy inventors role as the scientist guy.
The Daughter is Hinata's daughter she doesn't seem to have a personality in the manga, but in anime she became the perfect little sister. The only time she was important in the manga so far was when her vase broke that started off a...bickering between Nail and Bolt. Which was resolved both by Nail fixing the flower vase and then saving her in the fight against Mustard. Beyond that she spend most of her time by her mother's side, which also goes to show how much involved Hinata been in the story so far. Not much.
Villains:
Effeminate one/Femmy is the Kaguya member Momoshiki from the movie that gave Bolt the Karma seal that will take over his body. Burly Muststash was his companion he absorb. After Nail kills Bolt to save him from becoming Femmy. Femmy had to use the last 18% of Karma to save Bolt's life. So, instead of transforming Bolt's body into his; he is now some spirit advisor that plans to take over Bolt's body.
Molding Cannibal was some S rank Missing Nin named Shojoji that can transform into people by eating their brains. He was Bolt's first original manga villain. Which showed how kitten the power scaling in the manga was from the start.
Cyborg Ao is a Mist nin from Naruto that somehow lived from the ten tails wiping out the Ninja Alliance's HQ. Probably the only character that looks good from the transition from Kishimoto's art style to Ikemoto's.
Kara Members:
Jenga of Good Manners is Jigen the leader and the Kaguya member Isshiki that possessed him since I didn't care about that difference/distinction. He is their very polite leader. Now hopefully dead. His power was shrinking.
Barbarian Hair is the Jiraiya clone Kashin Koji because when he first appear with a mask on he looked like he stepped out of Vinland Saga. He has toad summonings and powerful fire jutsus. Also, Kashin Koji is an old Japanese legend of some legendary treacherous advisor.
There was some old man named Victor that apparently had great regenerative powers but killed by Barbarian Hair to show of how powerful and mysterious he was.
Blacksmith is Boro because he looks like a what you've imagine a medieval blacksmith from a fantasy story would look like. His power was virus gas, and he was the one that showed the Kara's regenerative powers were absurd.
Mustard is....Delta. She is the chick who died when Madoc turned her off, I guess. She also had that boring fight with Naruto. Her power was some drone thing on her back. A copy of her was given to the leaf village that was program to serve the village by Madoc. She is Madoc's daughter.
The Punk is Code because he looks like one; it was that or belt-face. His power is he can spread his belt to any surface he slashes with his clawed hands. Then he can stick his clawed hands through his spreading belt to stab people. He was apparently under some sort of limiter at the start. After said limiter was removed he was completely consumed by Eida's power and becomes obsessed with her.
He has an army of nudist minions with freeza-like tails, made form the ten tails.
Hime is Eida. Madoc's daughter, who looks even more like Hinata than the clone does. She has two powers. Clairvoyance which I think Kodaichi gave her, and Attraction which I think Kishimoto gave her. She wants Kawaki because he and Boruto are the only ones immune to her attraction power due to their Karma seals.
She is likely Ikemoto's dream girl. Her true power is Omnipotence. She used it again to flip reality to change Nail into Naruto's son, and Bolt into Nail's old position. Because of Nail's antics she is souring towards him and will probably fall for Bolt once he is older.
Moe is Daemon Hime's little annoying brother. His power is to reflect the intent of an attack back onto any enemy. Eventually, someone told them how broken this was and put a limit to the power. That it only works if he is touching the person with his hands. He is in love at first sight with the daughter
