Hyuuga, Taiin
General Information Age: 16
Gender: Male
Height: 5'4
Weight: 115lbs
Physical Features:
Due to his, unfinished, training as a swordsman Taiin has accumulated many scars, and is missing the top portion of his left ear. Other than his scars, Taiin is relatively normal, his has shoulder length black hair, white Hyuuga eyes, and some what tanned skin from being outside constantly. Because of his physical training, Taiin's muscles are more defined than one would expect for someone of his rank, however, this is only because of his constant physical activity, rather than being any stronger than his peers. He is also missing the tip of his right "pinky" finger.
Clothing/Accessories:
Taiin does not dress like one would expect a typical Genin to dress. In fact, he actually attempts to dress as if every day of his ninja career was the most important mission of his life. Every inch of his body below his jawline is covered in a thick linen wrapping, used to cushion physical attacks on his body, and directly on top of this is a black mesh shirt, and pants. On top of the mesh shirt Taiin wears an incredibly loose, long sleeved, white shirt, where the sleeves hand six inches past his hands, allowing him to conceal weaponry within them. As for pants, his are made of a thick black leather, which further add to his protection, without restricting to much of his movement, due to their looseness. He does, however, wear Konohagakure's typical sandal, though his is black.

Personality:
If asked to describe himself with one word, Taiin would used Passion. Everything that Taiin does, he does with his entire being. No matter how big, or small, the task is, Taiin will always give his all to see it complete. He is often seen as a "hot head" because of his passion for not only training, but fighting as well. Simply put; Taiin is addicted to adrenaline, and this causes him to go out of his way for fights, but, he has also learned, from his brother Taiyo, to approach situations with a calm, calculated mind. He has learned to fight his battles in his mind before he ever attacks physically, so that he can get the most out of the fight, but also so that there are no unnecessary injuries. When it comes to matters of the village, or clan, Taiin prefers to allow Taiyo to do all of the talking for him, even though he is just as educated as his brother. It should be noted that Taiin is terrified of Genjutsu, and freezes up when he realizes that he is within one.
When it comes to matters of the heart, Taiin is actually quite closed off from the world. He believes that his family would hate him if he were anything other than "straight," so he does not allow any other ideas other than being straight to enter his mind. However, he is not always able to keep himself from checking out members of the same sex, though he tells himself it is because he is analyzing their fighting ability. He is so focused on being what he believes his family wants him to be, that he does not actually know if he is attracted to women, or, if he is attracted to men, or if he is attracted to both. The idea of being attracted to members of the same sex literally scares Taiin, to the point where he refuses to even speak to his twin brother about how he feels, and thinks.

Jutsu
Clan NinTaijutsuShow
Jyuuken
Jyuuken, also known as ‘Gentle Fist’ is the NinTaijutsu style the Hyuuga Clan has become notorious for. It’s moves appear like a graceful dance to the naked eye, though some of these moves can be quite deadly. Most strikes are aimed to close the tenketsu of the target’s body, limiting their jutsu use and damaging their chakra network.
Requires Upper Body and Deft hands
~Jyuuken :: Chakra Needles
D Rank NinTaijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 6 Control
By channeling chakra to the hand, the ninja will create one chakra needle on one of their fingertips. They can then throw it at an opponent or target as if it were a regular throwing senbon, or they can use them with their Jyuuken Techniques to give their pokes a stabbing quality. The damage caused is much like that of a regular senbon needle, and it lasts for 3 posts.
~Jyuuken :: Eight Divination Signs, Air Palm
D Rank NinTaijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 6 Control
After channeling chakra throughout their body, the Hyuuga will thrust their palm outward, releasing a high-speed palm thrust. A spiraling, compressed shell of chakra is formed and bursts outward in the direction the palm is facing. It travels at a speed of 5, hits with a strength of 5, and travels out up to five meters. If the shell hits the opponent, they will be knocked back 5 meters unless they have a strength of 5 or higher.
~Jyuuken :: Palm Dance of Divination
D Rank NinTaijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 6 Control
One of the fundamental techniques of the style, the user will channel chakra into their palms. They will then quickly strike the opponent in an attempt to damage their tenketsu. This is normally used in conjunction with other techniques. The gathered chakra can be maintained for three posts before dissipating away.
~Jyuuken :: Eight Divination Signs, Thirty-Two Palms of the Hand
D Rank NinTaijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: ~Jyuuken :: Palm Dance of Divination, 6 Control
Used in melee range, the clan member will shoot short bursts of chakra from their fingertips while striking the opponent's tenketsu 2 times, then 2 times again, then 4 times, 8 times, and finally 16 times, totalling 32 strikes. The chakra damage forcefully closes the 32 tenketsu struck, stopping the chakra flow of the opponent in that area and limiting their ability to use jutsu. This prevents the opponent from using some ninjutsu and genjutsu, D-rank and lower, causes mild pain, and hinders the opponent's chakra control. The penalty will only last for two full posts.
~Jyuuken :: Palm Bottom
D Rank NinTaijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 6 Control
This attack consists of a quick, precise thrust of the user’s palm to an opponent's body, having channeled chakra into the hand. Though it causes internal damage like other Jyuuken techniques, its greatest asset lies in its ability to be fired off from just about any position and at any given point of the opponent's body.

ToryuShow
Toryu Kenjutsu:*[Toryu • Close Quarters]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.
D- Ranked Kenjutsu Stance
Prerequisite: 5 Taijutsu
The signature stance of the style, Close Quarters teaches users of this style how to rapidly change the angle, position and even grip of their weapon without moving their hand from it's signature position at the user's waist for maximum versatility. Users of this style often assume a one foot forward, one back, slightly swayed stance to free up movement as well at the expense of leaving their center open.
*[Toryu • Lunging Feint]
D-Ranked Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 5 Speed
A basic technique of the style wherein the user moves in for a basic lunge-thrust with their weapon, only to turn in mid thrust and attempt to sweep their leg under the opponent's own.

*[Toryu • Guard Break]
D-Ranked Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 5 Strength
After rushing in on a foe and initiating an attack the user waits for the opponent to guard, either with arm or weapon, before quickly lashing out with their hand or pommel of their blade and attempting to smash the guarding hand or arm aside with a wrist smash. The pain as well as damage can interrupt the guard of opponents, leaving them wide open for the initial attack to hit.
*[Toryu • Limb Lock]
D-Ranked Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: *[Toryu • Close Quarters] , 5 Taijutsu
A dangerous close quarters 'option closer', the Toryu user will sweep in close and try to slam their foot down on an opponent's as well as quickly sweep their arm around the opponent's to lock their elbow with the user's own. This technique is usually utilized for setting up blows or blocking off the weapons of dual-wielding foes and it forces the opponent to break out of the move before counter-attacking.
*[Toryu • Counter Kick]
D-Ranked Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 5 Taijutsu, 5 Strength
The user of this technique will attempt to block the blow of his opponent with his blade, relying heavily on the durability of their weapon and their own strength to resist the strength of the opponent's attack. Should they be successful, the user will follow up with a swift kick to the target's chest or stomach to push them away and stun them, then follow up with a quick stab to the chest or stomach.
History
Historical AccountsShow
Taiin's story is that of two people; himself, and his twin brother Taiyo. Growing up it had always been easy to tell the two apart, because Taiin had always been incredibly healthy, while his brother had been sickly from birth. Because of this, Taiin had always been quick to anger when it came to his brother, believing that if anyone was going to pick on Taiyo it would be him, and only him. Because of his eagerness, and willingness, to fight, Taiin had begun his training in the Hyuuga clan's fighting style, known as Jyuuken, some what earlier than most. Taiin's uncle had told him that if he was going to continue to fight people when he knew he was not supposed to, then he should at least do it in a while that the clan would approve of. Taiin's uncle Zenyatta trained him relentlessly for months, and had never gone easy on the boy, or so Taiin thought. Everyday Taiin trained he wound up literally crawling into his bed, but he had learned Jyuuken, and no one would mess with him, or his brother any more. It was because of his dedication to learning Jyuuken that Taiin's parents had decided to enroll him in the academy. While he was never the best in his class, Taiin had done better than most in his studies, except when it came to Genjutsu.
No matter what the illusion was, whenever Taiin got trapped within one he froze. The idea that someone had gotten inside his mind, and was FORCING him to see things completely terrified him. It was because of his fear of Genjutsu that he always attempted to defeat his opponents before they had the chance to form any hand seals. It was during one of his usual training matches against a classmate that he finally managed to activate his Byakugan. The stress from being trapped in a Genjutsu had forced his Doujutsu to activate. The sensation of using the Doujutsu for the first time had broken the Genjutsu's hold on Taiin, and allowed him to use his Jyuuken with even greater accuracy than ever before.
It was not until he had passed his Genin exam that his clan had held his "coming of age" celebration, a request of Taiin's. And what a celebration it was. There had been duels, for fun of course, dancing, a feast, and good music, and at the end of the night Taiin had faced another of his fears; public speaking. He had practiced his speech for days, but that had not prepared him for speaking in front of the entire clan, minus those on patrols and missions. SO, like it had with the Genjutsu, Taiin activated his Byakugan in hopes that it would allow him to over come his fears, and it did. As soon as the clan had seen him activate the doujutsu they began to cheer him on, which gave him a burst of confidence, allowing him to speak in front of everyone. He spoke of a elder by the name of Hinori, a Hyuuga girl that had died well before he was born. She had been a proficient Katon user, and had even begun melding her Katon jutsu with her Jyuuken in ways that had not been previously seen. He spoke of her honors, and her accomplishments, and when he was finished with his speech he bowed deeply. As soon as he was able to Taiin retreated to his seat by his brother, and hid his bright red face. Now that he is a Genin, he has begun training to learn not only the sword style Toryu, but plans to learn the Flaming Blossom style Hinori had developed before her death.
