Abilities and Concentrations

Abilities
First Ability	Byakugan Doujutsu One of the most famed doujutsu in the world, Byakugan is the bloodline limit of the Hyuuga Clan. When active, the clan member gains 360 degree vision and Penetrative vision, allowing the Hyuuga clan to see the Tenketsu of their enemies. Their telescopic vision can be activated via jutsu. As such, the Byakugan is capable of ability channeling, allowing the Hyuuga to activate their Doujutsu techniques without hand seals. It should be noted that while using their telescopic vision the Hyuuga experiences tunnel vision, making it difficult to see their surroundings. Prolonged usage of the Byakugan is strenuous and requires a high level of endurance. The maximum operating time a user can utilize their Byakugan at a time is equal to their stamina stat divided by 4 rounded down, to a minimum of one post. Upon reaching the max duration, the stress of using their Byakugan to it’s limit causes a cooldown period of 1/2 of the duration time, to a minumum of one post. During this cooldown period, the Byakugan cannot be activated and attempting to do so will cause physical pain. Duration is based off total posts where the Byakugan is activated, meaning users can turn it on and off to have a shorter cooldown.

TaijutsuShow

ToryuShow

Toryu Kenjutsu is a sword style originating from the Land of Pebbles that focuses on not just performing kenjutsu but also weaving close quarters style taijutsu into the bladework. Toryu's specialty is not only learning to capably slash a sword with one hand but also learning to use the hands, joints, legs and even the head to make frighteningly dangerous close quarters fighters. An inelegant style, it is commonly associated with the more 'rough' samurai but in truth it's reliance on two opposing impulses and control of the body makes it one of the more difficult Kenjutsu styles to learn. While usable with most blades, experienced fighters often prefer wakizashi, ninjato and even tanto daggers instead of katana for increased mobility.

History

Historical AccountsShow

Son of Ryu and Sakura Hyuuga,Taku’s life began with agony. Advised against having children due to the likeliness of complications during pregnancy, Ryu and Sakura thought that they were prepared for such a circumstance. They were Hyuuga after all, and it was their duty to grow their clan if able. It was a difficult pregnancy for Sakura, one that wreaked havoc on her as well as the child. After 32 weeks, Sakura choose surgery less she lose the child and her life.

Premature, woefully underweight and a weak immune system, none of the hospital staff believed he would live more than a few days. It was this heartbreaking news that brought his parents to name him Taku. Taku required intensive around the clock care the moment he was brought into the world. After seven long days, Ryu and Sakura were informed that their son would live for now, but it would be an arduous road ahead of him. After another three months of hospitalization, they were finally allowed to bring him home. However this would not be his last stent inside the hospital walls.

Taku was never home for long. In fact, in the first six years of his life he spent more time in the hospital than he did amount his own clan. Either from illness or trouble from his underdeveloped body, the boy just could not seem to stay healthy. Sakura and Ryu did their best to take it in stride, and for a while they had the emotional support of their clan to help carry them through. But after years of battling sickness, the murmurs of Taku being cursed began to spread.

When he was home, Taku was kept indoors away from the outside world It was easy enough, his parents fussed over him constantly, and he lacked the strength to stay active for long. Infected with tuberculosis, he was never really able to run and play. The clan also worried that his illness would spread. While the Elders did not forbid him from interacting with his family, there were plenty of Hyuuga that kept a wide berth from the boy. So it was that he spent a majority of his childhood indoors, reading and being taught by his parents. While Ryu and Sakura had hoped he would become a ninja like them, but it was apparent to them that such a lifestyle was impossible for their son. But they didn’t let it affect their love for their son.

So it was that Taku fell into the routine. Read, learn, sleep, sick, hospitalized, treatments, recovery and discharge. On and on, until a few months after his 12th birthday. His uncle, Kazuma, was killed during a mission leaving behind his wife and infant daughter. Unable to deal with the grief of losing her husband and having to raise a daughter alone, Haruka approached Sakura about adopting her daughter Shimi, to raise as their own. The couple couldn’t find it in them to turn her away. Not only was she Sakura’s sister, but they were being offered a chance to raise and nurture a healthy child unburdened by illness that plagued Taku. They saw it as a second chance, and while they convinced themselves that Shimi would never replace their own son, it did change the dynamic of their household.

Taku was no fool, he knew what his reputation was within the clan. Knew the burden that his existence placed on his family, even if it was something that he couldn’t help. He was kept away from Shimi, and he welcomed it as he didn’t want to chance passing on his illness. Determined, he sought out a way to make himself stronger and rid himself of this weakness. It was his Jihan, his doctor, who provided him with a solution. While his tuberculosis was much more resistant to treatment, if Taku was able to strengthen his lungs then it was possible that his body could fight it off alongside the treatment. He was warned that it would not be easy, but the boy was determined and now that he found a sliver of hope there was no stopping him.

When he approached his parents about the idea they were understandably concerned, but with Jihan there to help explain they gave their consent. The next week, his father began to put him through light training. Taku’s life became a living hell for the next six years. Not used to prolonged activity, he was left gasping for air from the most basic of exercises, sometimes having to take weeks to recover enough to try again. But each time he failed, he grit his teeth and came back with twice the enthusiasm. Slowly, he began to grow stronger, the recovery time grew shorter and his coughing fits dwindled. At 18 it was determined that his TB was no latent. He still carried the cells, but they would no longer causing him breathing problems.

In the best physical condition of his life, Taku was still far behind others in his age group. Unable to activate the Byakugan, he could not take his rite of passage, but Taku still found himself enrolling in the Ninja academy. He had conquered his illness, and with training he figured it was only a matter of time before he awakened his dojutsu. He spent two years at the academy, learning to mold chakra for the first time in his life alongside others in his age group who decided that they too wanted to become ninja.

At 20, he was declared a genin, however he still lacked the ability to utilize his clans famed abilities. Nonetheless his family was proud of him. His little sister was ecstatic that her brother was a ninja, and she aimed to be just like him. With their support he spent his time training in Toryu swordplay to make up for not being able to use the Gentle fist, as well as developing his ninjutsu and genjutsu.

Now 22, he spends his time doing missions, caring for his clan, and helping his 8 year old sister prepare for the academy.
