Jounin
Clan:
Hyuuga
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clothing or Armor:
Neji's clothing completely reflects his personality and superiority complex. Earlier in his life, during a more insecure and drastically self-absorbed portion of his existence, the Hyuuga male donned a simple shirt tucked into a pair of black shorts, the ensemble completed with his headband fastened to a bandana-like appendage, flowing obsidian locks tumbling down his back in a loose ponytail, his feet donning the simple Ninja sandals. However, the newly appointed Jounin has certainly moved up in the world not only in rank but in appearance as well. The Hyuuga prodigy has grown nearly 4 inches in height, meaning it was time for a change in attire and said change is quite drastic indeed.
The previously donned shirt has been abandoned and replaced with a far more old fashioned Kimono-like top, crossing his blody from the left shoulder and fastened with a small, square piece of fabric on the right shoulder which apparently is only there for decoration. The cut of his top is along its upper half, forming a rather kawaii "V" shape just beneath Neji's throat, revealing the slightest hint of the toned chest below. The sleeves of this top fall all the way down Neji's arms to just below his wrists, flowing gracefully and leaving lots of room for the Hyuuga's special Taijutsu proficciencies. Finally, the top tucks in at Neji's hipline around hi belly-button all the way around, folding neatly down into the newly donned sash.
As one continues to examine the Hyuuga's clothing, the next thing their eyes will fall upon is the newly donned sash Neji has taken to wearing around his waste just above his belly button. This sash is black in color and wraps around his entire body, tying in a rather flourishing bow on Neji's lower back. Its width covers Neji's stomach from the area a few inches above his belly botton to just above his pelvic area much like the old Karate master used to wear. Again, this more adult ensemble is rather old fashioned. From the sash decends a rectangular piece of the same silken fabric which composes the sash which falls down to Neji's mid-thigh area, completing the old fashion Aikido Master-esque accessory. This rectangle splits down the front center from the sash leaving the view of Neji's pants unobstructed.
The pants the Hyuuga has taken to donning fall farther then his previous choice, flowing gracefully much like his top. The same milky cream colour that composes the top piece of the ensemble adorns the pants and they fall all the way to just above Neji's ankles, folding neatly inward onto themselves. This fabric of the entire outfit breathes like cotton yet feels like fine silk, leading one to believe that not only was the outfit made by some of the best tailors money could by, but also that Neji indeed has his own unique style that he's not ashamed to show. His shoes are rather quaint, only slightly changed from his previous choice in the fact that they are more flat footed, allowing for quicker turns, and they rise a bit higher, the pants tucking slightly into them above the ankle. Also, it should be known that the bandana-like accessory Neji once donned is symbolically been removed, his headband worn directly on his forehead and his hair falling slightly forward to frame his face.
Physical Appearance:
Neji's personality, as reflected it was with his clothing, seems to have physically manifested itself in his regal form. Let's take it from the top shall we?
From atop Neji's crown fall raven locks which, up until his defeat in the Chuunin exams at the hands of Uzumaki Naruto, was held back by a bandana-like accessory which has hence been discarded. His hair is now only tied towards it tips which fall to the curve in Neji's lower back, and the bangs, (now free to do what they will), fall forward slightly into Neji's face, forming ebon wings of hair to frame a rather gorgeous visage. His hair is expertly kept, reflecting the pride within the Hyuuga and his perfectionist nature, and his hair always seems to have an almost preternatural sheen to it, showing just how healty it really is.
Should one cast their gaze between the aforementioned ebon wings of hair, they would find by far one of the most attractive male faces Konohagakure has ever seen. Neji's headband covers his forehead, yet beneath it lies the Seal of the Branch Family, and as it stands, that seems to be the only flaw to his face. His nose is small and very button-like, adding a hint of kawaii cuteness to an otherwise drastically masculine face. His skin is smooth as the silken clothes his dons and this can be seen by an admirer from near or far. Neji's eyes, which are by far the most interesting features on his face, are placed precisely where they should be to fit his facial features as a whole, his jawline sloping gently downward to a very soft point that is his chin. His lips are thin and rarely spread into a full-fledged smile, yet they always seem to be held in a grin as of late. His ears are small and quaint, yet such a detail is largely irrelevant as they are almost always concealed beneath that flowing evanescence that is Neji's hair.
However magnificent Neji's face may be, his eyes are by far the most striking thing about him. A pale lavender in hue, they are the Byakugan eyes of the Hyuuga bloodline, Neji's most attractive and valued features. At first glance one would think Neji was blind, but as they continue to examine the milky pyres of his eyes, they will see not blindness, but true sight. Within the swirling depths of such eyes one's very soul could be brought forth into their view, and one could completely lose themselves for days gazing into them. However, should the Byakugan become active, the picture of a soul will vanish and become replaced by a burning fire of eternal battle-lust. The veins on either side of them bulge forth and the beauty of the face on a whole is marred by a tremendous display of power. The eyes finally take on a pupil, faintly outlined, and one would not be allured any longer, but horrified. Such is the nature of the Hyuuga and his milky hued eyes...
Should one be able to tear their gaze away from Neji's face, the next thing on the list is his upper body, forever clad in the flowing silk of his Kimono top. Beneath it lies a battle-hardened form unmarred by any true scars yet the evidence is still there. The subtle fluctuations of muscles beneath the skin denotes that Neji's entire life has been a battle and, to the eye alone, the naked flesh of Neji's torso is quite impressive. Abs ripple downwards in the perfect alignment for that attractive, surfer-like body build while his biceps do not bulge as many with such a frame. His shoulders a broad, but not overly so, lining rather well to suit his shoulder muscles and biceps as everything meets at the neck line, which in itself is graceful and rather lovely indeed. Neji's forearms are thin and almost disproportionate, yet they slope into a slight bulge at the bicep, making for yet another graceful addition. Finally we reach Neji's lower half, his legs toned from all the Taijutsu training yet not bulging. Unlike Lee, Neji does not spend his time thrashing himself until he truely becomes "buff", but rather sticks to the graceful training of the Jyuken, meaning his body will become toned but not overly so.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personality:
Enigmatic is quite an understatement for the description of Neji's personality. For a very long part of his life Neji was completely self-absorbed. He was angry at the world, resentful of his own clan because he, Hyuuga Neji, the prodigy of Konoha, was placed in the Branch portion of the Hyuuga clan. This was an outrage and unforgiveable offense in Neji's eyes, and it plagued his every thought. His sole meaning for living was to prove that he was worthy of the Main Branch and this caused him to become a narccissist in the purest sense of the word. He cared about his teammates on an inward and totally subconscious level, but he never let it show. He scorned Lee for his inabilities in Ninjutsu and Genjutsu and his deficiencies in Taijutsu mostly because he could hold no one up to his own standards. This fact was shattered when he entered the Chuunin exams. The peak of his narccissistic ways was reached when he fought Hyuuga Hinata and defeated her, and then his personality was altered with his defeat at the hands of Uzumaki Naruto. He, Neji, had been defeated by a loser, and this caused his personality to shift violently.
After his promotion to Jounin and a great deal more training Neji opened up, looking past his own heinous standards of himself and caring for the feelings of other people. He decided to, at some level or another, put the feud of the Familes behind him, befriending his weaker cousin Hinata and resolving many issues with his family. He began to brighten, showing emotion and feeling for those around him especially those he had been particularly cruel to, like Lee. This shift brought about a change in Neji's entire frame of mind, and at present, Neji is very open. He retains a bit of his old egotistical self especially when insulted or called out and can truely be a bit hot-headed, but on a whole Neji has turned over a new leaf.
Weapons:
Kunai: A plethora of the bladed weapons can be found all over Neji's form. He, like all Ninja, uses his Kunai for many things. However, it may be noted that his Kunai seem to be rarely used, brilliant shiny and almost brand-new. This denotes he very rarely needs them.
Shuriken: "Throwing Stars" kept in the same condition as his Kunai for the same reasons.
Jutsu:
Basics:
Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique):
The user assumes the appearance of another person, animal, or object. This is one of the basic jutsu taught at the Konoha Ninja Academy. Fundamentally, all ninja know this jutsu.
Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique):
A high-speed movement technique. It is described as 'appearing with the wind and disappearing like the wind.' A very basic jutsu, it appears that most shinobi above Genin-rank know it.
Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique):
This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach, leaving the opponent open to a counter-attack.
Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique):
This technique creates a clone of the user, but it is an illusion, not a real copy like the Shadow Clone Technique. The illusions will dissipate when they come into contact with anything. The illusions can be seen through by the Byakugan and the Sharingan.
Nawanuke no Jutsu (Rope Escape Technique):
A basic technique taught at the Ninja academy, this jutsu allows a ninja to free themselves if they have been tied up.
Doton no Jutsu (Earth Release Skill):
This Jutsu allows the user to travel underground, and come back up (or pull others under) whenever he/she likes.
Jibaku Fuda: Kassei (Exploding Tag: Activate):
This allows the user to set off exploding tags from a distance with Chakra.
Kakuremino no Jutsu (Cloak of Invisibility Technique):
This jutsu allows a ninja to take a cloak or a piece of cloth and blend into an object, making them invisible.
Kinobori no Waza (Act of Tree Climbing):
Kinobori no Waza, the art of tree climbing serves a dual purpose. Taking part in Kinobori Shugyou (Tree Climcing Training) helps a ninja learn how to focus their chakra, and it also teaches them how to run up trees and walk up walls. The training helps the ninja learn how to focus just the right amount of chakra to a particular part of their body. The amount needed to climb is small but it must be precise. The feet are said to be the hardest location to learn how to master chakra focusing. So by gaining the art of this skill, the ninja will be able to have any jutsu available to him (theoretically) because she can focus chakra as needed. Next the chakra released must be properly controlled.
Suimen Hokou no Waza (Act of Water Surface Walking):
A variation on the Kinobori no Waza (Act of Tree Climbing), the art of water surface walking allows a ninja to walk on water as if it was a solid surface. Focusing an even amount of charka out of the soles of their feet, they can balance themselves on the very surface of the water.
Neji's Jutsu:
Hakke Kuushou (Eight Divination Signs Air Palm):
A technique developed and employed by Hyuuga Neji. Using the Hyuuga Taijutsu style, Neji will thrust his palm at his opponent, expelling Chakra from said palm in an invisible wave, knocking his opponent/s back. With enough precision, this technique may be able to collapse the victim's Tenketsu.
Hakke Rokujuuyonshou (Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand):
A technique normally only learned by the Hyuuga's main branch, the Hyuuga will first create a field around them. Once the enemy is within said field, the Hyuuga will then begin their assault. Using the Byakugan eye, the Hyuuga will examine the inner Chakra Coil of the victim and, using the Jyuken, forcefully inject Chakra into 64 of the Tenketsu, (Chakra Points), along said Coil System, collapsing them and limiting Chakra flow throughout the victim's body, vastly limiting their Jutsu. The user will strike 4, 8, 16, 32 and finally 64 times.
Hakke Hyakunijuuhachishou (Eight Divination Signs, One-Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms of the Hand):
The same attack as Hakke Rokujuuyonshou but the user strikes 2 times, then 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and finally 128 times
Hakkeshou Kaiten (Eight Divination Palms of the Hand, Heavenly Spin):
Expelling Chakra from all their Tenketsu simultaneously and spinning their body like a top, this technique halts any attacks towards the Hyuuga using the technique, forging an adequate defense against nearly anything.
Harichakra (Chakra Needles):
By expelling Chakra through the Tenketsu on one's fingertips, the Hyuuga using this technique can slice through objects made of Chakra that could normally not be broken. Also, these needles can be injected into the Tenketsu, collapsing them.
Kekkei Genkai/Bloodlimit/Special Abilities:
Byakugan:
The Hyuuga Clan, one of the oldest and most prominent clan in Konohagakure no Sato, is the host of a rather unique and intensely powerful bloodline which manifests itself as a Doujutsu, or "Pupil Trait" meaning it resides in the eye. This trait is known as the Byakugan or, "Devil Eyes", and the technique provides its user with an amazing upper hand.
The Byakugan gives the user the ability to see Chakra and the Inner Chakra network of other people, allowing Hyuuga Shinobi a great advantage against Nin/Genjutsu specialists. The Byakugan also grants its user preternatural sight, allowing them to see quite clearly for multiple hundreds of feet ahead of them and also a nearly 360 degree field of sight. There is a single vertebrea located near the neck of all Hyuuga which the Byakugan cannot see, serving as its blind spot and, thus far, only weakness. This 360 degree field allows a Hyuuga to keep him/herself completely guarded at all times. The higher the skill of the Hyuuga, the wider range they can see attacks coming from.
Combining their own special type of Taijutsu known as Jyuken, the Hyuuga incorporate the extra-sensory perception of their Byakugan with rapid, powerful bursts of Chakra from the palms of their hands into the Chakra system, often sealing off portions of Chakra flow and/or causing internal damage to the organs the Chakra network travels so closely around.
Battle Style:
Neji is a Taijutsu Genius and prodigy, being one of the most powerful Genin to ever surface in Konoha and, as a result, of the most powerful Jounin to roam her streets.
Neji employs the Hyuuga's style of Taijutsu known as Jyuken. Using his Byakugan, (which he has nearly mastered), and deep, flowing movements, Neji will quickly move forward and place himself in close quarters with his opponent, catching them in a rather claustrophobic position where Neji, having trained vigorously to be adept in such conditions, can move quite deftly but his opponent can do nothing to stop him. The Jyuken uses the aforementioned positioning and very fluid motions to place open-fisted strikes to the opponent's body. Using the Byakugan, these strikes are aimed either at Tenketsu points or vital organs and, by emitting sharp bursts of Chakra from his palms, Neji will strike said points/organs for internal damage rather then external damage.
Neji is rarely surprised while in battle, completely keeping his cool and VERY rarely even taking a hit. The people who really give him loads of trouble are people with massive amounts of speed or other Hyuuga members. Neji, however powerful and formidible he may be, is rather slow. His Taijutsu attacks themselves come lightning quick, but if one can keep Neji at a ranged battle, it becomes a bit one-sided. He's a Jounin, so naturally he's quick on his feet, but all in all, Neji is a bit on the slow side.
Though the occurence is extremely rare, should Neji ever be taken off guard or forced to reveal his trump cards, he will strike a stationary pose and form the Eight Trigrams field which, once the opponent enters it, basically seals their fate. His speed no longer matters once this occurs because he seems to move far quicker then actually is. He utilizes direct Tenketsu strikes along with large expulsions of Chakra to quickly either disable or kill his opponent. He considers it a dissappointment if he ever has to reveal this to his opponent, but one has to do what he has to do.

RP Example:
The sun rose slowly over the lip of the horizon, a few trace rays moving through the air and drowing the infinite blackness that had only moments ago covered Konohagakure no Sato. Ah, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The most powerful Ninja Village around and home to the most powerful Ninja clan the world had ever seen. The Hyuuga. Well, that was the opinion of its members anyway. As the sun illuminated the world, reality shaking the symbolic dust from its eyes, one would expect everyone to be asleep right? Oh no, not everyone. There were a few people who were up and about at this hour, and one such person, a Jounin Shinobi, was just rounding the corner, his eyes cast downward and his hands in the folds of his Kimono top.
Hyuuga Neji rose his hand to his face, a slender digit extending forth and pushing back the rogue strands of bangs that had fallen incourageably into his eyes. Those milky hues of his moved aimlessly about him, taking in the needed details of the morning, the sun spreading before him like the blossom of a flower. The pale-eyed Hyuuga loved mornings like this. The clouds had gone from the sky above him almost completely, and as the soverign orb that ruled the day peaked its head above the horizon, the blanket above him wove itself from its inky blackness to a magnificent cerulean tapestry, the details astounding even such developed eyes as Neji's. With a light press of his foot his body would flicker, the Body Flicker Jutsu being used. Such majesty was worth the minute Chakra loss.
Atop the roof of the Hokage Tower, the peak of the Village and the best view with the exception of the mountain Neji watched the sun slowly show itself over the faces of the departed Hokage. The visage of them all carved so splendidly into the mountain and lit up perfectly by the dawn, Neji could do nothing but sit and gaze at it, his Byakugan dormant, but his mind aflight. The perfection was exquisite and he knew the patience to make such a work of art had to be absolute. Just as his thoughts had reached their apex, a kunai came whizzing through the air, and Neji simply spun, catching it no trouble and, in that same motion, tossing it down, burying its tip in the roof. "Ten Ten, don't do that. You've ruined my train of thought." he said, the female shinobi poofing into existence before him. She simply shrugged, bade him follow her, and off they went into the world, the mountain and the dawn forgotten for now...

Clothing or Armor:
Neji's clothing completely reflects his personality and superiority complex. Earlier in his life, during a more insecure and drastically self-absorbed portion of his existence, the Hyuuga male donned a simple shirt tucked into a pair of black shorts, the ensemble completed with his headband fastened to a bandana-like appendage, flowing obsidian locks tumbling down his back in a loose ponytail, his feet donning the simple Ninja sandals. However, the newly appointed Jounin has certainly moved up in the world not only in rank but in appearance as well. The Hyuuga prodigy has grown nearly 4 inches in height, meaning it was time for a change in attire and said change is quite drastic indeed.
The previously donned shirt has been abandoned and replaced with a far more old fashioned Kimono-like top, crossing his blody from the left shoulder and fastened with a small, square piece of fabric on the right shoulder which apparently is only there for decoration. The cut of his top is along its upper half, forming a rather kawaii "V" shape just beneath Neji's throat, revealing the slightest hint of the toned chest below. The sleeves of this top fall all the way down Neji's arms to just below his wrists, flowing gracefully and leaving lots of room for the Hyuuga's special Taijutsu proficciencies. Finally, the top tucks in at Neji's hipline around hi belly-button all the way around, folding neatly down into the newly donned sash.
As one continues to examine the Hyuuga's clothing, the next thing their eyes will fall upon is the newly donned sash Neji has taken to wearing around his waste just above his belly button. This sash is black in color and wraps around his entire body, tying in a rather flourishing bow on Neji's lower back. Its width covers Neji's stomach from the area a few inches above his belly botton to just above his pelvic area much like the old Karate master used to wear. Again, this more adult ensemble is rather old fashioned. From the sash decends a rectangular piece of the same silken fabric which composes the sash which falls down to Neji's mid-thigh area, completing the old fashion Aikido Master-esque accessory. This rectangle splits down the front center from the sash leaving the view of Neji's pants unobstructed.
The pants the Hyuuga has taken to donning fall farther then his previous choice, flowing gracefully much like his top. The same milky cream colour that composes the top piece of the ensemble adorns the pants and they fall all the way to just above Neji's ankles, folding neatly inward onto themselves. This fabric of the entire outfit breathes like cotton yet feels like fine silk, leading one to believe that not only was the outfit made by some of the best tailors money could by, but also that Neji indeed has his own unique style that he's not ashamed to show. His shoes are rather quaint, only slightly changed from his previous choice in the fact that they are more flat footed, allowing for quicker turns, and they rise a bit higher, the pants tucking slightly into them above the ankle. Also, it should be known that the bandana-like accessory Neji once donned is symbolically been removed, his headband worn directly on his forehead and his hair falling slightly forward to frame his face.
Physical Appearance:
Neji's personality, as reflected it was with his clothing, seems to have physically manifested itself in his regal form. Let's take it from the top shall we?
From atop Neji's crown fall raven locks which, up until his defeat in the Chuunin exams at the hands of Uzumaki Naruto, was held back by a bandana-like accessory which has hence been discarded. His hair is now only tied towards it tips which fall to the curve in Neji's lower back, and the bangs, (now free to do what they will), fall forward slightly into Neji's face, forming ebon wings of hair to frame a rather gorgeous visage. His hair is expertly kept, reflecting the pride within the Hyuuga and his perfectionist nature, and his hair always seems to have an almost preternatural sheen to it, showing just how healty it really is.
Should one cast their gaze between the aforementioned ebon wings of hair, they would find by far one of the most attractive male faces Konohagakure has ever seen. Neji's headband covers his forehead, yet beneath it lies the Seal of the Branch Family, and as it stands, that seems to be the only flaw to his face. His nose is small and very button-like, adding a hint of kawaii cuteness to an otherwise drastically masculine face. His skin is smooth as the silken clothes his dons and this can be seen by an admirer from near or far. Neji's eyes, which are by far the most interesting features on his face, are placed precisely where they should be to fit his facial features as a whole, his jawline sloping gently downward to a very soft point that is his chin. His lips are thin and rarely spread into a full-fledged smile, yet they always seem to be held in a grin as of late. His ears are small and quaint, yet such a detail is largely irrelevant as they are almost always concealed beneath that flowing evanescence that is Neji's hair.
However magnificent Neji's face may be, his eyes are by far the most striking thing about him. A pale lavender in hue, they are the Byakugan eyes of the Hyuuga bloodline, Neji's most attractive and valued features. At first glance one would think Neji was blind, but as they continue to examine the milky pyres of his eyes, they will see not blindness, but true sight. Within the swirling depths of such eyes one's very soul could be brought forth into their view, and one could completely lose themselves for days gazing into them. However, should the Byakugan become active, the picture of a soul will vanish and become replaced by a burning fire of eternal battle-lust. The veins on either side of them bulge forth and the beauty of the face on a whole is marred by a tremendous display of power. The eyes finally take on a pupil, faintly outlined, and one would not be allured any longer, but horrified. Such is the nature of the Hyuuga and his milky hued eyes...
Should one be able to tear their gaze away from Neji's face, the next thing on the list is his upper body, forever clad in the flowing silk of his Kimono top.

His shoulders a broad, but not overly so, lining rather well to suit his shoulder muscles and biceps as everything meets at the neck line, which in itself is graceful and rather lovely indeed. Neji's forearms are thin and almost disproportionate, yet they slope into a slight bulge at the bicep, making for yet another graceful addition. Finally we reach Neji's lower half, his legs toned from all the Taijutsu training yet not bulging. Unlike Lee, Neji does not spend his time thrashing himself until he truely becomes "buff", but rather sticks to the graceful training of the Jyuken, meaning his body will become toned but not overly so.

Personality:
Enigmatic is quite an understatement for the description of Neji's personality. For a very long part of his life Neji was completely self-absorbed. He was angry at the world, resentful of his own clan because he, Hyuuga Neji, the prodigy of Konoha, was placed in the Branch portion of the Hyuuga clan. This was an outrage and unforgiveable offense in Neji's eyes, and it plagued his every thought. His sole meaning for living was to prove that he was worthy of the Main Branch and this caused him to become a narccissist in the purest sense of the word.

Weapons:
Kunai: A plethora of the bladed weapons can be found all over Neji's form. He, like all Ninja, uses his Kunai for many things. However, it may be noted that his Kunai seem to be rarely used, brilliant shiny and almost brand-new. This denotes he very rarely needs them.
Shuriken: "Throwing Stars" kept in the same condition as his Kunai for the same reasons.
Jutsu:
Basics:
Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique):
The user assumes the appearance of another person, animal, or object. This is one of the basic jutsu taught at the Konoha Ninja Academy. Fundamentally, all ninja know this jutsu.
Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique):
A high-speed movement technique. It is described as 'appearing with the wind and disappearing like the wind.' A very basic jutsu, it appears that most shinobi above Genin-rank know it.
Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique):
This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach, leaving the opponent open to a counter-attack.
Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique):
This technique creates a clone of the user, but it is an illusion, not a real copy like the Shadow Clone Technique. The illusions will dissipate when they come into contact with anything. The illusions can be seen through by the Byakugan and the Sharingan.
Nawanuke no Jutsu (Rope Escape Technique):
A basic technique taught at the Ninja academy, this jutsu allows a ninja to free themselves if they have been tied up.
Doton no Jutsu (Earth Release Skill):
This Jutsu allows the user to travel underground, and come back up (or pull others under) whenever he/she likes.
Jibaku Fuda: Kassei (Exploding Tag: Activate):
This allows the user to set off exploding tags from a distance with Chakra.
Kakuremino no Jutsu (Cloak of Invisibility Technique):
This jutsu allows a ninja to take a cloak or a piece of cloth and blend into an object, making them invisible.
Kinobori no Waza (Act of Tree Climbing):
Kinobori no Waza, the art of tree climbing serves a dual purpose. Taking part in Kinobori Shugyou (Tree Climcing Training) helps a ninja learn how to focus their chakra, and it also teaches them how to run up trees and walk up walls. The training helps the ninja learn how to focus just the right amount of chakra to a particular part of their body. The amount needed to climb is small but it must be precise. The feet are said to be the hardest location to learn how to master chakra focusing. So by gaining the art of this skill, the ninja will be able to have any jutsu available to him (theoretically) because she can focus chakra as needed. Next the chakra released must be properly controlled.
Suimen Hokou no Waza (Act of Water Surface Walking):
A variation on the Kinobori no Waza (Act of Tree Climbing), the art of water surface walking allows a ninja to walk on water as if it was a solid surface. Focusing an even amount of charka out of the soles of their feet, they can balance themselves on the very surface of the water.
Neji's Jutsu:
Hakke Kuushou (Eight Divination Signs Air Palm):
A technique developed and employed by Hyuuga Neji. Using the Hyuuga Taijutsu style, Neji will thrust his palm at his opponent, expelling Chakra from said palm in an invisible wave, knocking his opponent/s back. With enough precision, this technique may be able to collapse the victim's Tenketsu.
Hakke Rokujuuyonshou (Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand):
A technique normally only learned by the Hyuuga's main branch, the Hyuuga will first create a field around them. Once the enemy is within said field, the Hyuuga will then begin their assault. Using the Byakugan eye, the Hyuuga will examine the inner Chakra Coil of the victim and, using the Jyuken, forcefully inject Chakra into 64 of the Tenketsu, (Chakra Points), along said Coil System, collapsing them and limiting Chakra flow throughout the victim's body, vastly limiting their Jutsu. The user will strike 4, 8, 16, 32 and finally 64 times.
Hakke Hyakunijuuhachishou (Eight Divination Signs, One-Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms of the Hand):
The same attack as Hakke Rokujuuyonshou but the user strikes 2 times, then 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and finally 128 times
Hakkeshou Kaiten (Eight Divination Palms of the Hand, Heavenly Spin):
Expelling Chakra from all their Tenketsu simultaneously and spinning their body like a top, this technique halts any attacks towards the Hyuuga using the technique, forging an adequate defense against nearly anything.
Harichakra (Chakra Needles):
By expelling Chakra through the Tenketsu on one's fingertips, the Hyuuga using this technique can slice through objects made of Chakra that could normally not be broken. Also, these needles can be injected into the Tenketsu, collapsing them.
Kekkei Genkai/Bloodlimit/Special Abilities:
Byakugan:
The Hyuuga Clan, one of the oldest and most prominent clan in Konohagakure no Sato, is the host of a rather unique and intensely powerful bloodline which manifests itself as a Doujutsu, or "Pupil Trait" meaning it resides in the eye. This trait is known as the Byakugan or, "Devil Eyes", and the technique provides its user with an amazing upper hand.
The Byakugan gives the user the ability to see Chakra and the Inner Chakra network of other people, allowing Hyuuga Shinobi a great advantage against Nin/Genjutsu specialists. The Byakugan also grants its user preternatural sight, allowing them to see quite clearly for multiple hundreds of feet ahead of them and also a nearly 360 degree field of sight. There is a single vertebrea located near the neck of all Hyuuga which the Byakugan cannot see, serving as its blind spot and, thus far, only weakness. This 360 degree field allows a Hyuuga to keep him/herself completely guarded at all times. The higher the skill of the Hyuuga, the wider range they can see attacks coming from.
Combining their own special type of Taijutsu known as Jyuken, the Hyuuga incorporate the extra-sensory perception of their Byakugan with rapid, powerful bursts of Chakra from the palms of their hands into the Chakra system, often sealing off portions of Chakra flow and/or causing internal damage to the organs the Chakra network travels so closely around.
Battle Style:
Neji is a Taijutsu Genius and prodigy, being one of the most powerful Genin to ever surface in Konoha and, as a result, of the most powerful Jounin to roam her streets.
Neji employs the Hyuuga's style of Taijutsu known as Jyuken. Using his Byakugan, (which he has nearly mastered), and deep, flowing movements, Neji will quickly move forward and place himself in close quarters with his opponent, catching them in a rather claustrophobic position where Neji, having trained vigorously to be adept in such conditions, can move quite deftly but his opponent can do nothing to stop him. The Jyuken uses the aforementioned positioning and very fluid motions to place open-fisted strikes to the opponent's body. Using the Byakugan, these strikes are aimed either at Tenketsu points or vital organs and, by emitting sharp bursts of Chakra from his palms, Neji will strike said points/organs for internal damage rather then external damage.
Neji is rarely surprised while in battle, completely keeping his cool and VERY rarely even taking a hit. The people who really give him loads of trouble are people with massive amounts of speed or other Hyuuga members. Neji, however powerful and formidible he may be, is rather slow. His Taijutsu attacks themselves come lightning quick, but if one can keep Neji at a ranged battle, it becomes a bit one-sided. He's a Jounin, so naturally he's quick on his feet, but all in all, Neji is a bit on the slow side.
Though the occurence is extremely rare, should Neji ever be taken off guard or forced to reveal his trump cards, he will strike a stationary pose and form the Eight Trigrams field which, once the opponent enters it, basically seals their fate. His speed no longer matters once this occurs because he seems to move far quicker then actually is. He utilizes direct Tenketsu strikes along with large expulsions of Chakra to quickly either disable or kill his opponent. He considers it a dissappointment if he ever has to reveal this to his opponent, but one has to do what he has to do.

RP Example:
The sun rose slowly over the lip of the horizon, a few trace rays moving through the air and drowing the infinite blackness that had only moments ago covered Konohagakure no Sato. Ah, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The most powerful Ninja Village around and home to the most powerful Ninja clan the world had ever seen. The Hyuuga. Well, that was the opinion of its members anyway. As the sun illuminated the world, reality shaking the symbolic dust from its eyes, one would expect everyone to be asleep right? Oh no, not everyone. There were a few people who were up and about at this hour, and one such person, a Jounin Shinobi, was just rounding the corner, his eyes cast downward and his hands in the folds of his Kimono top.
Hyuuga Neji rose his hand to his face, a slender digit extending forth and pushing back the rogue strands of bangs that had fallen incourageably into his eyes. Those milky hues of his moved aimlessly about him, taking in the needed details of the morning, the sun spreading before him like the blossom of a flower. The pale-eyed Hyuuga loved mornings like this. The clouds had gone from the sky above him almost completely, and as the soverign orb that ruled the day peaked its head above the horizon, the blanket above him wove itself from its inky blackness to a magnificent cerulean tapestry, the details astounding even such developed eyes as Neji's. With a light press of his foot his body would flicker, the Body Flicker Jutsu being used. Such majesty was worth the minute Chakra loss.
Atop the roof of the Hokage Tower, the peak of the Village and the best view with the exception of the mountain Neji watched the sun slowly show itself over the faces of the departed Hokage. The visage of them all carved so splendidly into the mountain and lit up perfectly by the dawn, Neji could do nothing but sit and gaze at it, his Byakugan dormant, but his mind aflight. The perfection was exquisite and he knew the patience to make such a work of art had to be absolute. Just as his thoughts had reached their apex, a kunai came whizzing through the air, and Neji simply spun, catching it no trouble and, in that same motion, tossing it down, burying its tip in the roof. "Ten Ten, don't do that. You've ruined my train of thought." he said, the female shinobi poofing into existence before him. She simply shrugged, bade him follow her, and off they went into the world, the mountain and the dawn forgotten for now...
