General
Name: Hyuuga Ware (pronounced Wah-Ray, not wear)
Alias(es): Codename: Shishi (Lion)
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Specialty: Taijutsu
Rank: ANBU
Home Village: Konoha
Current Village: Konoha
Organization: Konoha ANBU
Team Info: Shishi to Ookami - Lion and Wolf / Partner - Inuzuka Takeshi
Personality: Cocky, as many of the Hyuuga are famed to be, but a bit of a black sheep for being such an outspoken child since a young age; he favors pranks and jokes, and rarely seems to take anything serious. He is actually very talented for his age, but often misses opportunities to excel by alienating himself with his laid back demeanor; people tend to overlook him because they don't believe he'll keep himself on track. He is fairly lazy, but enjoys a good scrap and training. While not the most popular thanks to his pranks, he is an easy going person and friendly to most when given the chance. Note: he loves rock music.
* As he's aged, he has become more serious about his missions, making him known for being more reliable than he once had seemed, but his general demeanor really hasn't changed at all, when it comes to personal time.
Hair: A deep shade of brown, clean and well kept, pulled back and braided. It is extremely long, past his rear, when down, and so the braid is folded up and attached back to the top, effectively cutting the length in half and making a loop.
Eyes: White, glossy, and pupil-less, the typical eyes of a Hyuuga. Fairly easy to read, particularly by normal Hyuuga standards, because he doesn't do much to cover up his emotions. If he's irritated or happy, it shows. They do make it difficult to tell what he's looking at, however, which troubles some people.
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 148 lbs.
Clothes: A white coat, with the similar cross strap design with zipper below as the one he wore as a child, but with an additional two straps on the arms (near the shoulders, and elbows now, as well as the original ones near the wrists). A set of cross straps are on the back now as well, and the coat has two medium sized dangling portions that hang down to about knee level on the direct sides of his body. His pants are also similar to his childhood preference, brown and relatively plain, loose fitting but not overly baggy, but now minus the old cargo pockets and tool pouch on his leg, as he relies more on his own techniques, and keeps just a few small tools on him. Plain sandals, black. He wears a lion-styled Anbu mask, decorated with a sharp array of fur around the outer edges, mimicking a mane.

Biography
Family History: The Hyuuga clan (日向一族, Hyūga Ichizoku; Literally meaning "Hyūga family") is one of the oldest and most powerful clans in Konohagakure. All members born in to the family possess the Byakugan, a kekkei genkai that gives them extended fields of vision and the ability to see chakra. The Uchiha clan's Sharingan is believed to be descended from the Byakugan.
The clan is separated into two parts, the main house (宗家, Sōke) and the branch house (分家, Bunke), a system that protects the secrets of the Byakugan from outsiders. The main house runs the family while the branch house protects it. The members of the branch house are branded with a cursed seal. This seal gives the main house members absolute control over the branch members, because they can destroy the branch members' brains with a simple hand gesture, or cause them great pain to punish them. This seal also makes sure the secret of the Hyuuga's Byakugan is safe, because it seals the Byakugan after the wearer of the seal dies. Because they are essentially servants simply because of their birth order or heritage, some branch house members are hostile to those of the main house.
Members of the clan are instructed in the use of the Gentle Fist style, which uses the Byakugan to view the opponent's Chakra Pathway System and deal precise blows to disable and impede the flow of chakra. Due to training in this style, Hyuuga clan members tend to have excellent chakra control. This is emphasized in jutsu that utilize this chakra control, as well as the nuances of the Gentle Fist style. The clan's strongest techniques, like the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, are only allowed to be taught to members of the main house.
Character History: His parents both successful shinobi of the Hyuuga clan head family, jounin, well respected, high hopes were held for Ware. His father has grown distant however, thanks to his son's less than respectful nature, and his constant getting in trouble at school. His mother, though agitated, bears with him, and is his main tie to his clan, which is otherwise far too stuffy and serious to care much about him; preferably distancing themselves to avoid the "shame of the black sheep". Ware could hardly care less. He graduated from the academy on time, relatively high in his class, though his scores lessened slightly by his daily behavior, and was placed into a squad with more disciplined students in hopes that he might tone it down a bit. This never really worked out. To this day, he maintains a strong sense of humor, playing tricks and jokes, though he is in general serious when it comes to getting the job down. Many are thankful that he at least can keep work and play separate better than he used to.

Kekkei Genkai
Byakugan[/u]
Doujutsu
~The Byakugan is the primary focus of the Hyuuga's special arts. When the Byakugan is activated, their pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. Once active the Byakugan gives the user a near 360ยบ field of vision except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the third thoracic vertebra. They also have the ability to see through solid objects, and can use a degree of telescopic sight. The distance and the degree of telescopic sight varies from person to person.
However, one of the greatest uses of the Byakugan is the ability to see the chakra circulation system inside of another's body. The Byakugan has also shown the ability to see what a person's chakra type is, by looking into someone's chakra points. It is from this particular ability that they are able to employ their ultimate attack style: Gentle Fist. Unlike the Strong Fist, which is focused on external injuries, the Gentle Fist style focuses on internal injuries. Each strike, when placed correctly, strikes along the Chakra Pathway System, which is the network of vessels that carry chakra. This network is closely intertwined with the functioning of the body's organs, and so when the keirakukei take damage, the organs suffer as well. There is no defense against the Gentle Fist, since one cannot train one's internal organs to become stronger. The only possible defense is to stop the Gentle Fist's hits from connecting.
Along the keirakukei (chakra system) are 361 pinprick-sized nodes called Tenketsu, or chakra points. When struck, these Tenketsu will seal off, which close the opening points from which chakra is emitted. Thus, with precision, all those points along the victim's body can be sealed, stopping the chakra flow to those areas. Most of the Hyuuga clan cannot even perform this because the Tenketsu are too small to see.
Standard Jutsu
Replacement Technique
Ninjutsu
~Changes the ninja's position with a nearby in-animate object. Usually a section of log. Higher skilled people can exchange themselves with another person or other such things. Useful for dodging techniques.
Kai - Release
Genjutsu
~A simple technique that allows the user to break enemy genjutsu by focusing their chakra to disturb the other's flow. Can only be performed on jutsu within reasonable range of the user's skill.
Escape Technique
Ninjutsu
~A very simple technique that allows the user to escape from ropes or bindings.
Hyuuga Style Techniques
Gentle Fist
Taijutsu
~ The Gentle Fist style of combat is based on palm strikes and generally aims to damage the body's Chakra Pathway System, thus creating difficulty by inhibiting an opponent's use of chakra. To do this, the user will forcefully insert a small amount of their own chakra into an opponent's chakra pathway system. The chakra can the be used to rupture or divert chakra flow, preventing them from using jutsu. It can also be used to attack the opponent's internal organs, to which the chakra pathway system is closely tied. Even the slightest tap from this style can cause major damage, hence the name "gentle fist." Because the chakra pathway system is invisible, the Byakugan is required for this style to be used effectively. Since the Byakugan is unique to the Hyuuga clan, it has become their signature style of combat.
Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin
Ninjutsu/Taijutsu
~ This jutsu utilizes the chakra control gained through Gentle Fist training to release a huge amount of chakra from the user's chakra points right before being struck. The released chakra blocks any possible attack on the user. The user then spins rapidly to parry the attack, both creating a shield of chakra around themselves and tossing away any nearby attackers. This jutsu is only effective when rotating, since the chakra itself is not enough to stop a physical attack. If they cannot rotate, the user becomes vulnerable.
Gentle Step: Twin Lion Fists
Taijutsu
~ The user forms two large lion-like shrouds of chakra around their hands through a similar method to the chakra emitted from the Heavenly Spin, then thrusts them forward at the opponent. The jutsu is performed using a quick, spinning step as they slide towards the opponent, throwing off the enemy's aim and ability to tell the direction of the attack. A sort of unique technique, used by few in the clan in favor of the 32 and 64 Palm techniques; Ware took preference to this, and developed it into a style all his own, making him unique and more respected amongst the clan of having a strong understanding of the Hyuuga secrets.
Ware's Specialized Techniques[/u]
Swirling Lion's Mane
Ninjutsu/Taijutsu
~ A technique based upon the Heavenly Spin, Ware manipulate his chakra output, forming it into the roaring head of a lion. He's able to control the output of chakra and the concentration of it in various areas, to allow him to waste less chakra and defend certain sides more effectively when needed. This technique in itself is a symbol of how skillful he has become at chakra manipulation and focus.
Gentle Step: Ferocious Lion Lunge
Ninjutsu/Taijutsu
~ Typically a follow up to the Swirling Lion's Mane, focusing chakra back to his hands, Ware follows up a spin, with a swift and violent outward palm strike, either straight ahead or at some angle upward, sending a wave of the excess chakra outward in the form of a viciously attacking lion. As with the original Twin Lion Fist that inspired his style, the chakra is carefully used to mask his own strike, as well as using the influx of chakra to strike various small points on the user's body, and to disrupt their own chakra flows, damaging their internal systems.
