There is much and more to be said about Asura Hyuuga of the Hidden Mist Village. Of course, this is dependent upon which side of the coin you speak of. There's the calm, collected Hyuuga who dwells upon life much as he would a puzzle: inquisitive, adventurous, social enough to pass for a Chuunin of respect and loyalty. And then there's the demon within, an animal that acts upon instinct and a force of ruthlessness buried beneath the surface of sardonic nature. Which side one receives is entirely dependent upon many factors. To be in the presence of Asura is to toy with chance, itself.

Thrust into the arms of a shinobi's life at a young age, Asura has been dealt a hand at life that few should have to play. Fending for his life became a daily struggle, built to the top of the Hyuuga's prowess to survive the harsh elements of being discarded by abusive parents. So prone to physical and mental pain was he that the young Genin was forced to find a way to cope. And so he locked his emotions deep within the folds of apathy. He was a marionette to his family, raised to be at the peak of physical and mental condition. To be on the side of error was to be punished, Asura's relationship with reprimand an intimate one. It was because of this that he stayed at the top of his class, a construct of class and forced social status.

...And Asura absolutely hates it.

It's hard for the Chuunin to stand out from the crowd. At an impressive six feet, three inches, Asura is an image of what is aptly called a masculine beauty. Luminescent, feline green eyes - an aesthetic created by doctors of the Hyuuga clan - provide nothing more than visual appeal. Asura's skin, smooth, unmarred and unblemished, is deeply tanned and defined by lines of muscle. One would believe that the young Chuunin had never seen combat, but it is quite the opposite. He simply underwent much "improvement" by his family, sculpted to please the eyes. Even his locks - silver, silken, long - are a sign of a kempt individual. Simply put, there is little about Asura that has not been carefully crafted.

This is not to say that Asura lacks character. Through the Academy's training, it was constant assignments away from home that allowed him to come into his own. He is mature beyond his years, well-spoken and often more quick to listen and understand than reply and attempt anything without some sense of awareness. It is for this reason that he was chosen to be one of Kirigakure's finest Chuunin. To his peers, Asura is the trump card. To his enemies, Asura is a wraith and a beast. It is hard to pin Asura's personality, the Hyuuga prone to moments of moral question that some would find black and white.

Is he good?
Is he evil?

.....Only time will tell.

Deprived of a real childhood, it wasn't until the Academy's latter years that Asura developed hobbies and interests. He is deeply passionate about his Byakugan and its properties, having explored many environments and diving into knowledge of chakra and Taijutsu. To have so little escape the eye is a "gift" to him, and he trains intensely to fortify such a powerful Kekkei Genkai. Asura's favorite pastime is eating and music, sometimes doing both if he is able. Able to play multiple instruments and memorize songs with relative ease, he practices often to fortify the walls of his mental prowess. It's hard to say what triggers his bipolar tendencies, but one should exercise caution in moments of turmoil or forcing survival instincts to take hold.

Proficiencies

— B Y A K U G A N —

-- Active.

Taijutsu - Gentle Fist [Apprentice]

"If my hands are made to strike, let there be no witness of mercy."

There are those who are capable of either finesse or brutality in combat. Both fortunately and unfortunately, Hyuuga Asura is capable of both. Having trained extensively from a young age, the Gentle Fist techniques of the Hyuuga Clan are his primary tools in combat. Adept at evasive maneuvers and closing gaps with decent precision, Asura seldom stalls or hesitates to deliver debilitating - sometimes lethal - blows to his adversaries. There is still room for much improvement, and it is Asura's personal goal to master the Gentle Fist style with no less than mastery level technique. Asura is aware of the blind spot that the Hyuuga are faced with. To that end, he works tirelessly to ensure that he's able to keep such vital information from any who would make an attempt on his life.

Shurikenjutsu [Apprentice]

"There is a certain lack of intimacy in a death unseen. Sacrifices, however, must be made at times."

Accompanying the Gentle Fist style of the Hyuuga is Asura's ability to throw weapons and instruments with great accuracy. Shuriken, senbon needles, any object thrown is meant to strike a particular area with the intent to disable or damage. The Byakugan assists with this endeavor, though Asura has much training to do in order to increase the distance and speed at which he fires projectiles. This is one of his favorite approaches to engagement, though closing the gap and finding himself within melee range is just as much pleasure to the Chuunin's preferred methods of combat.

Stealth [Apprentice]

"Know when to speak. Know when to listen. Know when to vanish."

It was stated that Asura stands out from those around him. Make no mistake, however: Asura also shares an intimate relationship with deception and vanishing when necessary. It was the shadows that protected him from an abuse that would have killed him, an exterior that smiled or laughed to keep him from showing the devil behind the mask. Though tall and with distinguishable features, Asura is skilled at concealment and hiding in plain sight or within the confusions of crowds. Seldom does Asura outright reveal his motives, his intent. Perhaps a twisted game of "cat and mouse", one must never stray from the caution of relationship with Asura.
