[h1]Personal Details[/h1][hr]
[h3][b]Characterization & Prestige[/b][/h3][indent]Ryusuke is the epitome of quiet and soft spoken, to the point where many of his classmates have wondered whether he even can speak. Before his accident, he was usually brimming with excitement, always excited to hear about the goings on of the clan. However, after his accident, he became silent and withdrawn, interacting with others less and less until he hardly spoke at all. The only person he will interact with to any meaningful degree any more is Katsuo, and even then very rarely when there are other people around.[/indent]

[h3][b]Origin Story[/b][/h3][hider=This ended up way too fucking long]Twelve years ago, during the civil war, the main branch family of the Hyuga had begun to show clear sympathy towards Inotora’s regime. After all, the choice to support the incumbent Hogake was a virtual certainty from the beginning. Inotora shared their extremely traditionalist ideals, and if the rebellion lead by Uchiha Satoru was to succeed, it would surely mean the loss of at least some of their political power within the village. However, as the main branch members were preparing to publicly announce their support of Inotora, a faction within the Hyuga that had slowly grown since the start of the war made its move. The faction was comprised of side branch members who felt that the main branch family had grown complacent and their ultra traditionalist ideals were outdated. Secretly, with the assistance of the Hatake Clan, they planned and successfully carried out an internal coup, assassinating the head of the clan and his wife who made up the main branch family. There was one complication that the faction had not foreseen in their haste to carry out their coup: the newborn son of the main branch family, Hyuga Hideki. The members of the assassination team argued amongst themselves before finally conceding that none of them had the necessary resolve to murder an infant in cold blood. 

Luckily, the child’s birth was so recent that it had not yet been officially announced or recorded within the clan or village. The leaders of the coup came to the decision that, since the newly orphaned child would be allowed to live, he would need to be cared for by members of the clan. Immediately a husband and wife volunteered to adopt the child. The pair was Hyuga Hiroshi and Hyuga Hitomi, the two members chosen to become the new main branch family, for their progressive views and caring nature. The two already had a young son of six, and were expecting a daughter soon. Hyuga Hideki was then officially adopted, and his first name changed to Ryusuke, in an attempt to fully distance him from his former family.

And so, Ryusuke grew up under the care of his adoptive parents, the middle child with an older brother and younger sister. All three were doted on and spoiled by their parents. They lived carefree, playing in the village and all around the surrounding forest. Eventually, Ryusuke’s older brother began training in Juken, and Ryusuke would occasionally peek through the doorway and watch, enamored by the graceful moves of the taijutsu style.

One of the only friends Ryusuke had outside of his clan was Hatake Mikan. The members of his clan saw Mikan as a bad influence on Ryusuke, as Mikan exacerbated Ryusuke’s already high energy and rambunctious nature. The clan members tried desperately to keep the two apart, but no matter how many times they separated the two, they couldn’t keep them from sneaking off and getting into trouble.

From an early age, he displayed an aptitude with the Byakugan, much to the approval of his clansmen. Finally, he began to listen to the older clansmen at least somewhat, although really only when what they said had to do with the Byakugan, and he would always take great delight in showing everyone whatever new trick he had just learned with it. Because of this aptitude, he started his training alongside his regular schooling a bit earlier than a member of the clan would normally, although it was mostly basic chakra pathway recognition, rather than any actual Juken yet. Again, he proved to be a fast learner, picking up knowledge as fast as it could be taught to him. By his eighth birthday, he had finished all the basic teachings on chakra flow and tenketsu, and he began his training proper, earning him no small amount of praise from his clan members.

Once his actual Juken training began, the amount of free time that Ryusuke had available to him decreased considerably, but he always made sure to make time to see his best friend Mikan. On one such occasion, about two months after Ryusuke had started his Juken training, they had ventured particularly far out from the village, into the dense woods surrounding it. Just as they were about to head back, Ryusuke noticed an old abandoned shack and pointed it out to Mikan. As the two approached the shack, they saw just how much disrepair it was in. The walls were largely rotted out, and the ceiling had fallen through in a few places. Ryusuke was initially hesitant to enter the shack, but Mikan managed to convince him that it would be find.

The inside of the house was in just as bad disrepair as the outside, if not worse. Hardly any of the boards that made up the second story floor were still in place, and the ones that remained were warped and gnarled by age and the elements. Seeing just how ravaged the inside of the shack was brought back Ryusuke’s earlier hesitation, and he voiced his misgivings to Mikan about the two of them staying in the shack any longer. Mikan assured Ryusuke once again that there was nothing to worry about, and that the shack was too cool to not stay just a little longer. Begrudgingly accepting, Ryusuke watched as Mikan climbed up to what remained of the second floor and made his way across the beams. When Mikan finally reached the other side of the rafters he was climbing on, Ryusuke let out the breath that he’d been holding in. Ryusuke asked one final time if they could just leave the house now before either of them got hurt and it was Mikan’s turn to begrudgingly accept. However, as Mikan retraced her path along the old rotted beams, one of them suddenly gave way. The collapse of the one beam proved enough to destabilize the entire rest of the rafters, causing the entire roof to cave in on itself. Luckily, Mikan was fortunate enough to come away from the fall with only a few cuts and scrapes. Ryusuke, however, was not as lucky, as an entire beam of the rafters had fallen on him, completely crushing his right arm and leg, keeping him pinned.

Mikan of course immediately ran to find help for her friend, but it took her a long time to find his way back due to how far they had ventured into the forest. By the time that Mikan actually managed to return with help, Ryusuke’s injuries had worsened to a point where the medical nin were only barely able to even keep him alive, as he had lost a significant amount of blood. At first, an effort was made to save his limbs, but when the beam was finally lifted off, it was clear that they had been completely destroyed by the enormous beam and were beyond repair. He was rushed back to the village hospital where both his right arm and leg were fully amputated. 

After his recovery, he was fitted with a pair of prosthetic limbs to replace the ones he had lost. At first, his parents were hopeful that the artificial chakra network within the prostheses would prove sufficient for Ryusuke to continue his Juken training, but the artificial network was simply to primitive and crude. When he was finally told the news that he would no longer be able to continue his training, Ryusuke went a full month without speaking a single word. When he returned to his shinobi classes he simply sat in silence, passively taking in the lessons with no active engagement. Even after his self imposed muteness was over, he continued to become more and more isolated from his classmates, and eventually even his family. He began actively avoiding doing or saying things that would draw him attention, even going so far as to throw class competitions and intentionally lose first, second, or even third place.

Just as it seemed Ryusuke might never be happy again, a small bit of hope shone through. Ryusuke had started taking kenjutsu lessons at the academy, and it reawakened within him a passion within him that he hadn’t known existed. Although he still harbored his fear of any special attention, he couldn’t help himself from completely devoting his soul to the new art he had begun to learn. Together, along with his closest, and now only, friend Mikan, he began training daily, pouring everything he had into it, while still determinedly keeping his talent a secret from others. He kept up this training until now, while he still attends the academy, his graduation growing ever closer.

[h3][b]Character Development & Conceptualization[/b][/h3][indent]Although he went through a somewhat extensive reworking, the most basic main concept I had for Ryusuke throughout was a Hyuga who not only didn't know Juken, but who was definitively unable to learn it as well. In addition, I ended up shaping him into an unknowing deposed Heir, which makes for a lot of interesting character opportunities in the future, with his clans members, his parents, and even Katsuo since the Hatake were involved in the coup that killed Ryusuke's true parents.[/indent]

[h1]Triple T's[/h1][hr]
[h3][b]Talents[/b][/h3][indent][b]Unassuming Nature:[/b]
After such a long time of avoiding attention, Ryusuke has developed a special talent for avoiding any and all notoriety. He has painstakingly made sure never to stand out, never get first place, and always hide in the shadow of others more accomplished than him. He can easily blend into a crowd seamlessly and he is very difficult to spot in a densely populated area.

[b]Kenjutsu:[/b]
Ryusuke has a natural affinity for kenjutsu, and the art has fascinated him from a young age. His clanmates dismissed his interest as silly and childish, as no self respecting Hyuga, let alone the heir to the clan, would ever be caught using anything other than the clan’s signature Juken. However, after being told he would no longer be able to train in Juken, he began studying Kenjutsu at the academy. Although he immediately began showing a notable inborn skill for the art, he made painstakingly sure that his classmates and instructor never thought of his skill as more than “passable”. He trains every day with Katsuo in secret during the early morning hours, and it is the only thing which he has any amount of passion for.
In particular, he has studied the Hatake style of Ittoryu, having been shown formally the aspects of the style, as well as having used his Byakugan to snoop on the experienced members of the clan, and observe their training to further expedite his own skill. While his partner Katsuo favors the defensive Form II, Ryusuke prefers the more offensive Form I.

[b]High Chakra Control:[/b]
Ryusuke has also inherited the innate high level of chakra control exhibited by members of his clan. Although still rather undeveloped from lack of proper specialized training, he still has a notably higher level of control when compared to his peers. He often has trouble hiding and suppressing this inborn talent, and there have been a few close calls with his classmates and his teacher.

[b]Juken:[/b]
Although Ryusuke has very very rudimentary knowledge of Juken, his training in it had only just begun when he had his accident and was unable to further develop. As such, he struggles to perform even basic Juken techniques, and is even further handicapped by the lack of natural chakra flow through his artificial limbs.

[b]Byakugan:[/b]
While Ryusuke’s skill with Juken might be absolutely pitiful, he still has a notable amount of skill with his clan’s signature dojutsu. Currently the maximum range that he can muster with his Byakugan is sixty meters.[/indent]
