Name: Hyuuga Neji
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Village: Hidden in the Leaves
Rank: Genin
Nature Manipulation: Unknown
Appearance:
Neji has a slender but athletic frame making him agile and graceful during battle without hindering his strength, the shinobi also has many physical attributes that make him stand out, the first being his pure white eyes, inherited from his bloodline; the pupils are only ever somewhat visible whilst the family doujutsu ‘Byakugan’ is activated. Neji also has very pale Caucasian skin and long chocolate brown hair that reaches his waist and is tied in a loose band around the ends.
Neji’s usual attire consists of a medium-sleeve beige jacket with a high collar, loose dark coloured shorts and plain sandals. Often his limbs are bandaged, as well as his forehead, disguising the striking green cursed-seal etched upon it, this is also covered by his forehead protector.
Personality:
Neji is the strong silent type, but not silent as in shy. In fact he is an incredibly confident character which can sometimes come across as arrogant, especially during battles with opponents he feels are not worth his energy or time. Neji can be somewhat narrow minded and strong willed in regards to his personal views, and if his mind is set on something, its unlikely that anyone can change his though processes. He can seem rather unkind and distant towards fellow shinobi although is respectful to those who rank above him, he considers himself far more skilled than the majority of other genin, with Sasuke being the only other genin he feels is an equal in regards to skill.
Neji is seen as a very dignified character; although he is prone to occasional outbursts of anger, Neji tries to never let his tongue slip or do something purely based on instinct. He is a tactician, who thinks through logic rather than emotions, and quite frankly finds Gai-sensei and Lee’s antics somewhat too exuberant for his liking and prefers to bring a more serious mind-set to his team. However, he has grown accustomed to his team’s antics, and tends to ignore it rather than dwell on it.
Neji’s holds alot of anger and resentment towards the main branch of his family, especially towards Hinata. Neji tends not to socialise with new people and prefers his own company, though he has opened up somewhat to his team, though this is more through necessity then want. Neji still finds it difficult to open up to people and show his sensitive side, though it does exist, and he can be passionate about a subject close to his heart. Although that passion is largely anger.
Jutsu:
Juuken (Gentle fist) – A style of Taijutsu mastered by the Hyuuga clan, the blows don’t look to powerful, but they aim to strike internal organs rather than cause damage on the outside. This can be done by the user seeping their own chakra into the opponent’s body, by using a series of strikes with the palms.
Hakkesho Kaiten (Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin) – The user spins whist emmiting chakra from the body, this creates a dome of chakra to defend the body from attacks.
Hakke Rokujû Yonshô (Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms) – The user hits their opponents tenketsu with their fingertips in order to seal them so the opponent can’t use their chakra. The strikes go 2, then 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and then 64.
Hakke Hyaku Nijûhachi Shô (Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms) – Much like Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, only quicker and hits double the amount.
History:
Neji was a very happy child who was outspoken and loved spending time with his family, at the time he was too young to understand the concept of the main and branch families, so thought nothing of it and lived a very normal life. That was until he was assigned to the branch house on his cousin’s third birthday, he could see his father’s disdain when they took him away, and that was when Neji began to feel that there was something wrong in the Hyuuga household.
But not knowing the truth, meant he wasn’t too concerned at first, even though this meant he would never become the leader of his clan, at the time Neji believed it was a title his ‘cute’ cousin deserved, he enjoyed watching her and his uncle train, Neji picked up on her flaws, but believed she’d overcome them. Neji only began to despise the main house when he saw how much his father hated them, and when Neji saw just how the curse seal worked when his father’s was activated, Neji realised he was fated to a life in that shadows of the main house, subject to control through fear. His uncle’s harsh words told Neji that he couldn’t change fate, and he was destined to a life serving the Main house.
At the time a war had broken out between two villages, until they both decided to sign a treaty; and for this representatives from Kumogakure arrived. It was the same day the curse seal was placed upon Neji. That night, Hinata was almost kidnapped by the ambassador from the lightning country, revealing that the intention of the "treaty" was all along to get into the Fire country and acquire the secret of Byakugan. Hiashi (Hinata’s father) detected the intruder and killed him at once, for which Kumogakure requested payback in the form of Hiashi's dead body. That day, Neji's father was sent to his death instead of Hiashi due to the fact he had the curse seal, so when he died his body would not be able to provide secrets into the Buakugan. Since the incident Neji grew up believing that his father was sent against his will to protect the Hyuuga clan's secret bloodline. And his hatred only escalated, especially aimed at Hinata.
Since then Neji blamed his cousin for the death of his father, because if she hadn’t been kidnapped his father’s death would’ve happened, and what sickened him even more was the fact she was too weak to take over as Heir, while Neji had inherited a natural talent to harness his bloodline. He now only saw her as weak, and he believed that she would never be able to change herself, just like he couldn’t change his own unwanted fate.
Although Neji is resentful towards his fate, he is resigned to the fact that this will not change, and channels his frustrations into hatred for the Main Branch of his family. His only comfort is being away on missions and devoting his life to training, getting stronger, and showing just how weak the main branch is with its next Heir in line.
RP Sample:
The bright Konoha sun was beating down on the lush grassy terrain, the only relief from the heat was nestled in the thick foliage surrounding the training grounds. A gentle rush of air whipped passed the Genins’ ears as he nimbly skipped from branch to branch, his pale lavender eyes squinted at the occasional beam of sunlight filtered through the leafy branches. Hyuuga Neji was on his way to training, as he was every morning when he wasn’t away on missions, and as always, he predicted he’d be the first there.
The shinobi had made this same path to the training grounds so many times that he knew every branch he placed his foot on, and always clocked when one had snapped off which in turn altered his movements through the forest. Eventually he reached team Gai’s usual training spot, his eyes darted across the terrain, no sign of anyone else just yet. Just as he had predicted.
Neji made the final jump from the tree branch to his destination, and for a moment let the morning sun bathe his pale white skin. Although Neji was used to Konoha’s heat, it still seemed unusually hot for a morning; the Genin took shelter under a large tree, with only the peaceful sounds of birds chirping in the distance. With nothing to occupy his mind, the teen amused himself by taking a loose kunai from his weapons pouch and swirling the metal around his index finger. Cotton white eyes fixed on the metal glinting in the sunlight, whilst peripheral vision scanned the area for the sight of gaudy green attire and a weapon’s master; it was time to train.
