Hyūga Ookami

Appearance:

{Skin Tone}

Ookami is not like any other member of the Hyūga clan. Most clan members have a fair skin tone that is relatively light in color. For Ookami, however, his skin tone differs from many of the Hyūga clan members. It is seen as a light in color type of color, but there is also somewhat of a sun tan look within it. Many people often look at him in a way and wonder if he really is a member of this well-known clan. The somewhat tan tint to his skin does not change the fact that he is in fact a member of the Hyūga clan. This kind of color allows his hair, eyes, and even cloths to match with near perfection.

{White Eyes}

Nearly all members of the Hyūga clan possess the kekkei genkai trait known as the Byakugan. This is only possible by being white and pupil-less in simple terms. However, from the regular Hyūga clan eyes; Ookami's eyes show a slight difference within them. He still possesses the Byakugan trait that all Hyūga members have, but there is a purple tint within his eyes that gives the overall color a light purple color. This allows other clan members and even possibly outside clan members to believe that he has no relation to the Hyūga clan. However, the trait is clearly shown through his eyes being pupil-less.

If someone is to gaze into his eyes long enough; there is a possibility of seeing a sign of lonliness behind them. This could be simply because of the purple tinted color to them. Sometimes this also occurs when someone first meets him. However, if one really gets to know this Hyūga; they will in fact see strong confidence, determination, and a sense of calmness behind them that mix in with his personality.

The eyes themselves hold a somewhat square almost round shape to them allowing that serious look when he gets into the groove of things. There is a rare chance that people would really look into his eyes. It's not because of the simple purple tinted color to them? No. It is actually, because of what had occurred in his past. A showing of violence and possibly pain. This gives a good reason for him to really not use the Byakugan as much. When the Byakugan is active though, the veins are somewhat hidden, but are still clearly visible. This is from the light tan color of his skin tone.

{Physical Frame}

Each shinobi, no matter who they are have to be capable of taking care of themselves. They must be in peak physical and mental condition to serve the village they care most about. For Ookami; he cares about himself and takes the opportunity to train himself; improving his skills in combat physically and mentally. In terms of his own body..... this Hyūga takes really good care of himself even through the extreme of training. He has a form fitting body that neither bulky with muscle or to slim. It is simply firm and prepared whenever ready. No one actually makes fun of his size, because many see him as an individual perfect enough to be that shinobi of the Hidden Leaf.

Being athletically fit does not mean one has to train till they drop. In fact, that is the least possible thing that Ookami wants to do. His upper body holds in some muscle, but not as much to show a six pack on his abs or those bulging biceps with the appearance of leaving stretch marks. His lower body seems about the same as his upper body not showing off much muscle, but is still able to keep himself fit to the standards that he desires.

No matter what it is showing on his body Ookami keeps himself physically ready not wanting to give off that athletic build. His training keeps himself prime and ready for any mission that is assigned to him. Speed, combat, evasion, and ninjutsu have all guided him to get that perfect build. Rarely does he ever listen to what others say about how he looks; as he believes in his own unique way of training and keeping himself fit without a problem.

{Attire}

Ookami enjoys the fitting form of any loose style of clothing that he sees fit as comfortable for either a mission, training, or a simple casual day. A fishnet t-shirt covers over his dark skin with the sleeves passing by the elbows, but not entirely touching his wrists. Over this fishnet is a light blue to an a darker version of light blue jacket covers over this with the sleeves folded up to just above his elbows allowing the fishnet sleeves to be shown; along with the the fishnet to be visible only enough near his shoulders and neck. Both of these articles of clothing keep Ookami comfortable enough to perform even the most difficult of tasks such as the Hyūga's Gentle Fist combat style. Both of his hands have white wrappings that are covered around the fingers stopping a few inches from his knuckles; leaving the rest of his fingers exposed. These travel up his arm stopping just beneath the fishnet sleeves.

With the decision of lower-body attire; Ookami chooses to wear a pair of light blue pants much like the color darker version of light blue on his jacket. These pants give way down just below the knees allowing enough space to reveal his shin and at least some of his ankle; until his black shinobi sandals cover them up. He also chooses to wear a small ear ring upon his left ear with the shaping of a wolf, because of his name actually meaning wolf. Black straps and white wrappings (like Sasuke's) cover his ankles and shins up to the pants he wears stopping just short of his knees (that are also covered by the pants). His shinobi sandals are like all other sandals covering the top of his feet with his toes being the only objects visible along with his heals. This style of clothing allows Ookami to show off his true appearance and personality through travels and as such other ideals as well.

{Other}

Many of the Hyūga clan males have long hair that usually travels to the middle of their back, and is tied a few inches from the end. However, Ookami's hair is a completely different story? His hair is actually silky and smooth to the touch with a handsome brown color to it that seems to shimmer in the sunlight of the Hidden Leaf. It is not as long as what some would see in the Hyūga clan male? In fact, he has cut just enough for him to tie it back into a bun, but still keeps it somewhat hanging from behind. This also allows true for some places to hang down out in front but not completely over his eyes or Leaf head band. The Hidden Leaf head band is tied over his fore-head concealing the Hyūga Main Family's Juinjutsu; with the bandana being longer traveling to the middle of his back and sways in the wind whenever there is one or if he is on a mission jumping from tree to tree.

Strategic Information[/u]

Personality/Attitude:

Since he was born; Ookami was never really the person with so many words to speak. Overall he is a calm-minded and centered individual. Actually he is more mature for his age then most people that are his age. Being more mature allows him to discover what is actually happening both inside and outside the battle field. A strong vote of confidence and determination keeps him align and always prepared. Rarely does Ookami ever act out of anger or hatred. However, when something happens to someone close to him; Ookami will act out and intend to seek revenge on the people who hurt those close to him. His care for his own teammates, family, and friends is greater than anything else. He would rather put his own life on the line then watch someone bleed to death or die. Ookami takes all the missions he is assigned to seriously and always aims to accomplish them with a 100% completion. While in combat he also tries to stay at least two steps ahead of his opponent, and takes everything that his opponent does into consideration so he could use this against them. It is actually rather difficult to get Ookami angry as he is a calm-minded individual who thinks on his feet. Once in a while he will come off with jokes or a very bad pun, but moves on despite the fact if he makes someone laugh. Despite him being considered an excellent fighter; Ookami never keeps to himself unless training and tries to make good friends even if they are not in the Hyūga clan. Several people tend to rely on him to accomplish the impossible, and this is usually the case because of his ability to get things done right without a problem. The pride of the Hyūga clan seems to rest on his shoulders even while in the midst of training or a mission.

Chakra Nature: Water
Equipment/Jutsu: What this Hyūga knows and holds with him

Background/History:

What does it mean to be a Hyūga?

Is this through simply being the wielder of a well respected kekkei genka; the Byakugan? The ability to use a taijutsu that inflicts internal damage instead of external damage? Or maybe the possibility of holding two different types of branches within the clan?

For Ookami Hyūga it's all three of those very traits. Possessing the kekkei genkai trait known as the Byakugan, training and fighting with a taijutsu that inflicts internal damage, and finally being born into a completely separate family of the clan itself. Ookami was born on September 11 in the Branch House of the Hyūga clan. The Branch House of the Hyūga clan were branded with the Main Branch's Juinjutsu that sealed their Byakugan away once they were killed. Ookami himself - being born into the Branch Family - was branded with the Main Family's Juinjutsu mark at four years of age after a Main House member had turned three years old. Ookami was the youngest of an ANBU Hyūga named Eiko who was born into the Main House of the clan. Many people within the clan questioned why Eiko was a Main House member while his younger brother was placed within the clutches of the Main Family Juinjutsu and holding the protection of the Main Branch family when getting older.

Even Eiko could not explain his reason for this? However, in the secret of it all Eiko and Ookami's mother and father were also in the separate branches of the Hyūga clan. Their mother Akane Hyūga was in fact a Main House member whereas their father Haruki was born into the Branch House of the clan. Both parents had spoken to their first born son Eiko about this, and told him to keep it a secret to his youngest brother - Ookami - after he was born. And so the secret remained as such? Eiko stood within the Main Branch of the Hyūga clan while his younger brother would be walking through the halls as a Branch House member.

Life overall seemed well placed for any Hyūga clan member: Main House or Branch Family? Haruki was able to start on Ookami's training and give him knowledge of the clan and how they processed. Some explanation of the Main Family's Juinjutsu came into play? However, from learning about this so-called Cursed Seal, and how it was used by Main House members to control the Branch members as well as to seal their Byakugan away after they where killed; Ookami saw it more of as a gift. This actually put a smile of Haruki's face to hear his second born son say:

"Dad? I don't see this as a Curse Mark--- I believe it to be a gift."

Those were words that few members of the Hyūga clan would actually say, but none-the-less Haruki was still able to train his son the style of taijutsu that the Hyūga's used when fighting as well as a little knowledge of the clan's kekkei genkai..... the Byakugan.

Training still remained the same for Ookami? It was never easy at first to grab onto. Learning the different stances as well as how use the flow of chakra within a person to inflict the kind of damage that any Hyūga member was able to perform through this brand of taijutsu. Haruki had told Ookami that this form of combat was called the Gentle Fist style. While in the midst of his training Haruki was assigned to an S-rank mission that was normally brought upon to ANBU members, but being a more respected member of the Hyūga clan Haruki accepted it. Before leaving he questioned his oldest son Eiko to continue Ookami's training.

Weeks passed and no word had come in on Haruki's return from his mission. Even the Hidden Leaf's hokage had sent out a group of ANBU black ops agents to search for Haruki. Three days had passed when the ANBU were sent out to find Ookami and Eiko's father. Within the return; the news was not great. Not far from the boarder that separated the Land of Fire between that of the Land of Earth where the Hidden Rock Village was located the ANBU team came upon a Leaf Village head band. The band looked burned and had a large gash traveling at an angle through the metal part of the band. Reports stated that Haruki was killed when only a few miles between these two boarders with no body in sight... only the Hidden Leaf head band.

As soon as the reports reached out to the Hyūga clan; both Eiko and Akane thought it would be best if Ookami held no knowledge of what had happened to Haruki. However, Ookami somehow was able to find out and was nearly broken that he would not be able to see his father again. Eiko, however, approached and told his younger brother:

"If you are to become a shinobi for this village then you must be willing to make sacrifices? This includes the death of your own parents."

Eiko handed Ookami their father's Hidden Leaf head band and told him to take good care of it. Thinking that his training would stop Eiko continued on where his father left off teaching him some of the more advanced styles of the Gentle Fist called the Eight Trigrams which consisted of different forms of fighting including the Sixty-Four palms style. Before this continued Eiko finished Ookami's training of activating and using the Byakugan; as every member of the Hyūga clan needed it when fighting with the Gentle Fist combat style. The training even continued after Ookami was accepted into the Academy to become a shinobi for the Leaf.

Ookami kept up on his studies and even his training with the only person he looked up to - his older brother - Eiko. Sooner or later another tragedy struck the Hyūga clan? This time around it was the Main Branch family of the clan. Akane - Ookami's and Eiko's mother - soon fell ill after returning from a mission to the Land of Water where the Hidden Mist Village stood. The effects of this illness were a complete mystery to even the Leaf's best doctors and medical ninja. Before he was able to make it out of the academy Akane passed away through heart failure. Only through a scanning did they find out that somehow Akane had been poisoned while on her mission. The reasons were completely unknown. It also led to suspicion that Hyūga clan member's were possibly becoming the targets of assassins of other shinobi villages? This time around Eiko kept it a complete secret from Ookami of the death of their mother as he wanted him to keep his focus on graduating the ninja academy to become a Genin for the Hidden Leaf.

Months rolled by with study for Ookami and observation for Eiko of if Hyūga members were becoming the targets of other villages. Just a few short hours before Ookami's graduation Eiko was called in by the ANBU of a possible lead and sent out with a squad of ANBU operatives to the Land of Lighting were they were suspecting that ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village were the ones targeting Hyūga members. So, Ookami was alone to graduate from the academy. Ranking himself high in class through much study as well as some training with Eiko; Ookami finally graduated and was given a Hidden Lead head band.

However, Ookami refused the new head band that his teacher was holding out to him. Instead, he pulled out his father's old Hidden Leaf head band and requested to have this one be placed on his head in honor of his father - Haruki - who he saw as an honorable and courageous man. Knowing that there was no point to argue about wearing his father's forehead protector; Ookami was granted so and placed the device over his Curse Mark with a crimson cloth sporting the metal device. With his graduation at 12 years old; Ookami went on to become a full-on shinobi for the Hidden Leaf Village at the rank of Genin. Although Ookami was seen as a shinobi for the Hidden Leaf Village; he never was put onto a team consisting of two other Genin and a Jonin sensei. Other Genin didn't feel right with being on the same team as Ookami; so he remained alone. Several days past and no reports returned from the ANBU team that was sent on this kind of investigation. When those days turned into weeks and even months the ANBU team was dubbed MIA.

Over the next year; Ookami continued training on his own despite the fact that his brother was no longer around to guide him in this kind of training. Knowing that his brother was MIA; Ookami only hoped that he would be able to find him someday and bring him back to the Leaf. To accomplish that he would need to become stronger and take up on certain missions for the Hidden Leaf Village. Ookami saw himself in several D-rank, sometimes C-rank, and rarely B-rank missions for the Hidden Leaf. Although he was able to go upon these missions he needed to be on a team to fully discover the life of a shinobi and go onto the next rank of Chunin, and that is what he hopes to accomplish.
