About Gin

Proficiencies

Gin was born into a circle of Hyūga that are known within Amegakure for being particularly ascetic. They own their own temple inside the village and follow a lifestyle loosely influenced by certain strains of monk culture, albeit further tinged with the unique experiences granted by their Kekkai Genkai, through which they derive much of their spirituality.

The Byakugan grants the user a near 360-degree field of vision. With this vision, the Hyūga can see through solid objects, view the inner-workings of the chakra pathway system, and employ a degree of telescopic sight (up to a maximum of 50 meters).

The Gentle Fist is the signature fighting style practiced by members of the Hyūga clan. Employing the Byakugan, Jūken practitioners target the body's chakra pathway system to disrupt chakra flow and damage the internal organs closely intertwined with the network. To do this, the user expertly injects their own chakra into any of their opponent’s 361 tenketsu points, rupturing them. Gin is currently limited to individual tenketsu strikes, as opposed to anything more elaborate or area-of-effect.

Gin learned to properly throw Kunai and Shuriken within the academy. While this skillset doesn’t see everyday use, it can be useful when attempting to close the distance between an opponent. His accuracy is decent enough to hit a bullseye from 5 meters out, though more advanced techniques like curving the trajectory of the projectile or maintaining precision accuracy upon a moving target while also moving are currently beyond the limits of his skill.

One of the pillars of Ninpō, stealth is oftentimes the only difference between success or failure in a mission. The rainy climate of Amegakure does provide a degree of natural cover, facilitating stealth by obfuscating noises, footsteps, and vision to a significant degree. Byakugan users can thrive in this environment, given their capacity to remain visually unimpeded by the drizzling atmosphere. But perhaps Gin has allowed this natural boon to play too large of a role in his stealth, and he will need to work on his sneakiness in the future, especially when he begins venturing beyond Amegakure and into foreign lands.
