Written Description: Ren Hyuga stands at a towering 6 foot 3 inches tall. His tan skin tone reflects the numerous hours he has spent under the Konoha sun training his abilities.  His white hair is medium in length and moves with the tranquility of a lotus floating in the pond.  Behind Ren's pale green eyes one can see sadness and a determination that can only be described as frightening.  

While his eyes may scare some, his smile can be described as nothing short of contagious. His build is considered by most to be deceptively slender.  His narrow shoulders and slim stomach in combination with his clothes distract others from his many developed muscles.  Underneath his exterior attire lies a body of sculpted muscles that equal the body of a young 4th Raikage.

Upon first glance it looks like his arms and legs are scrawny but, when Ren prepares his body for battle his large biceps, calves, and varicose veins expose themselves to show his true power.  Although his muscles are large enough to warrant concern when taking a punch they are not large enough to make him cumbersome or rigid.

Ren dons a custom outfit his aunt made for him.  A plain white shirt matches his tranquil hair.  Two tan leather straps with kunai holsters cross his chest.  His green chunin vest looks slightly large when worn.  It has been modified with kunai holsters on the inside of the coat and four multipurpose pockets.  The back of his vest shows the traditional Konoha swirl while the front of his vest has a white lotus pinned to it above his heart.  Ren's blue pants fit him well enough to stop any cases of tripping over himself and allow his legs room to breathe and maneuver.  The final part of Ren's attire (his sandals and socks) are padded for traveling long distances without pain.

Faceclaim?: None

Personality; Ren likes to be a source of happiness for those around him.  Whenever he is around people, whether they be friend or foe, he tries to make light of the situation around him.  He will do everything possible to make a friend happy as long as he can do it justly.  Happiness from Ren comes from the happiness he sees in others.  When Ren or someone he cares about is in serious danger the happy go lucky side of him fades away to reveal a fierce, calculative combatant.

When Ren is alone he is always scanning his environment and thinking.  He is constantly calculating any possible outcomes and reflecting on himself.  His thought multitasking helps him to stay on his toes and learn from past experiences.  Ren also likes to philosophize about justice.  Justice is a major focus in Ren's life.  The definition of justice and the many variations he hears across the land fascinate him.

Ren enjoys joking around and talking for hours with friends and family but he is very shy around new people.  He often feels like he is being rude when he has to approach a new person and talk with them on his own.  Over time his shyness fades away but to most he is quiet.  Along with his fear of new social encounters, Ren has a crippling fear of spiders.  He goes into a complete panic when he is touched by a spider and even being in the vacinity of one sends
chills down his spine.  Ren is also creeped out by puppets that look like humans.  Inanimate bodies with uncanny resemblance to humans makes him uneasy and he tries to keep a joking attitude while around them to keep himself at ease.

Ren seeks only two things in life: Happiness and Justice.  The pain he remembers from his childhood serves as a constant reminder to him that he needs to protect those that can't protect themselves.  He won't stand by if someone is being bullied or harrassed.  He will fight for anybody in trouble regardless of village, clan, or reputation all while giving a confident smile.  His pain is also the thing that drives him to find/make happiness where he can.  He doesn't want anyone to feel a fraction of the pain he knows.

All the pain, doubts, and insecurities in Ren's mind usually become manifested when he is at his lowest point.  A new side of him reveals herself and is known only as Chika.  This alternate personality doesn't follow the same rules as Ren. She is pleased by the sight of bloodshed and often laughs uncontrollably when striking blows.  Chika deliberately walks up to people she doesn't know and
tries to start a fight with them or make lewd comments towards them just to punish Ren for keeping her subdued for so long.  Chika like's to spend her time out fighting, drinking, and chasing after women.  Her confidence goes beyond the level of cocky and she won't back away from any fight. She's extremely volatile and unpredictable.

Likes/Dislikes:
Likes telling jokes, sparring, swimming, philosophy, and ninja tools. Dislikes spiders, human puppets, meeting new people, Chika, and
aggression toward women/children.

Ren - Fight for what is truly right.
Chika - Always take down the biggest guy first!

Backstory:
Benign Beginnings (Birth):  
The village hidden in the leaf was in the middle of a harsh winter and this night was anything but silent. A Hyuga hideout that Ren's parents were hiding in was found by assassins and attacked.  Screams woke Ren's parents and blood stained the pure snow.  Ren's mother and father were able to flee the scene while the assassins were focused on the other hyuga but didn't manage to shake them all.  While being tailed by 2 assassins, his mother's water broke. Ren's father came up with a plan.

"Hide in the building 50 meters northwest of here. I'll make sure they don't find you."
"Please return to me.  I want our son to see his father's face."

Ren's mother ran to the abandoned building and searched for a room with medical supplies.  The contractions were beginning to get severe and every door opened revealed an empty room.  She came upon a door with faint voices behind it.  It could have been many things behind the door: Assassins, Hyuga clansmen, maybe some kids playing in an abandoned building.  She knew time was running out so, kunai in hand, she threw the door open.  Her wish was granted with interest.  

She found the old medical office and inside were her sister with her brother-in-law.  They had escaped the attack but were wounded and ran to the same abandoned building searching for medical supplies.  After hours of pain and pushing, crying and footsteps filled the hallways.  A beautiful baby boy was born and someone was approaching the room. Ren's aunt and uncle readied their stances as the door opened.  Ren's father had survived the encounter and returned to see his son.

"He's beautiful. His name will be Ren. Ren Hyuga."

Cherished Childhood:  
Ren grew up with a loving family but not a stable environment.  Ren and his family had to move from place to place due to Oto assassins locating them. Ren's mother always gave him a big hug and referred to him as her "little lotus".  They would sit and drink tea while she told him stories about her childhood. When the weather was especially nice they went out and searched for flowers to put on the table.  His mother's favorite was the lotus. Ren tried his best and searched everywhere for it to make his mother happy.

His father would take Ren out to learn how to defend himself.  It was during these times that Ren got to know his father the most.  They would train for hours in the sun.  Running, sparring, and target practice were a frequent areas of practice.  During and after practices Ren's father told him war stories and how the Hyuga clan operated before they were endagered.

"We we're able to cripple a man with one hand gesture if we felt like it."
"Really? So they were like our servants. That sounds awesome."
"No! That's the opposite. You shouldn't force someone do serve you.  That's not just. Everyone should get to make their own choices."

Ren would have many conversations about what his father considered just and unjust in the future.  This is where Ren learned of the many different definitions of justice and begin his long journey into finding true justice.

His Aunt and Uncle tried their best to give Ren a normal lifestyle by taking him out to play in secluded areas.  Ren's favorite game to play in the woods was hide and seek because he had a natural sense of his surroundings.

"It's your kekkei genkai."
"Haha what's a K-K-genkai?"
"Your special eyes, Ren. They allow you to see lots of things around you and even power inside people."
"See the power inside people?"
"Yes. Your kekkei genkai, the Byakugan, will let you see the flow of power inside people when you train it. You'll learn soon enough. How about a snack and another game of hide and seek?"

This new knowledge about his abilities amazed Ren and he wanted to learn more.  He asked his family frequently if he could learn but they told him to wait until he was older.  They wanted him to enjoy his childhood as much as he could before he had to face the harsh reality they knew of.

Tea times with his mother soon became lessons about social ettiquette, how to treat others, and hand signs. His mother taught Ren how to cook and cooked special meals based on his hand sign performance.  For every large increase in hand sign count per minute she'd cook him his favorite dish: House Special Ramen.  Ren trained his hand signs every day to get his favorite dish.  He liked
to say that ramen was his mother's kekkei genkai and his father laughed every time he said it.

Tragic Teenager:
His kekkei genkai had grown stronger and his abilities overall had improved.  Games of hide and seek became intense full contact games of cat and mouse.  Tea times turned into jutsu training with a break for tea and meditation.  Long talks about justice and tactics were shared while sparring and learning the ways of the 8 trigrams.  Ren was developing into a quick witted shinobi.  His family was proud of him and heard news that the war between the Konoha and Oto was coming to a close.  Soon Ren would be able to take the Chuunin exams like a regular ninja.

One night Ren awoke to a scream.  He ran to the room where his mother and father slept to find 3 people in the room. Fresh blood covered the walls.  He saw his father on the floor but it was no longer the man he spent hours talking and training with.  What he saw shocked him.  His father was reduced to mere puzzle pieces of a full body.  Ren looked to the other two people in the room.  One was a strange man holding a thin katana and the other was his mother staring down her attacker in tears.

"M-mom?"
"Ren, my little lotus, I need you to run now. Find your aunt and uncle."
"But mom-"
"I'll be okay." She turned her head toward him. "I'm so proud of-"

A high pitched sound rang through the air.  The temporary silence was pierced by blood hitting the wall.  His mother's body fell to the floor.  Her head rolled toward him.  Ren tried with all his strength to move, but he was frozen in place.

"You."

Ren blacked out.  When he awoke he was greeted by his aunt and uncle.  They told him when they returned all they heard was crazed laughing. They found Ren punching a pulverized corpse.  They couldn't identify who it was but they knew it must have been his parents killer.  Ren couldn't remember anything that had happened after hearing his mother's last word.

The following years were hard for Ren.  He lived with his aunt and uncle while they searched for a place to settle down.  They taught him everything he needed to know.  His aunt and uncle soon found out what actually happened when Ren blacked out.

Chika made her appearance a couple of times during Ren's teenage
years.  Ren would enter the room acting very strange and looking for a fight.  His uncle was often the one that had to hunt down and fight her.  Many bars and brothels took property damage thanks to her escapades.

Promising Present:
Ren now lives on his own searching for a place to call home.  He heard news of a Hyuga village and made that his destination.  He doesn't agree with the clan's old methods of operation but he feels it is right the go and help bring his clan back together. Upon arriving he sees an old compound under multiple renovations.  Ren decided that this was where he would establish a home.  He had a place to live. He plans on making an honest living doing missions for the Hokage.  He hopes to make a good impression.

RP Sample:
His mother's head rolled toward him.

"You."

Ren's eyes closed and his head dropped.  To the assassin it looked like he was sulking but in actuality Ren had blacked out.  He had just faced a whirl wind of emotions.  He feared for his life.  The shock from seeing his father dismembered and his mother decapitated petrified him.  The anger towards their murderer was
overwhelming.  The sadness of picturing his life without his parents brought tears to his eyes and they ran like great rivers down his face.  All these emotions had come together to a psychological knock out to Ren's mental state.  In the abyss of his psyche someone had emerged.  Ren smiled.

"So much blood. It's so funny." Ren started giggling.

He started walking slowly toward the attacker while giggling to himself.

"Maybe more will be funnier. More blood, more fun. Yeah. That's got to be it."

Ren's laughter got louder and more crazed.  The veins around his eyes pushed against his skin to the point that they were visible.  His byakugan was activated and he was staring at the chakra mass in front of him.  Ren dashed forward and began his attack.  His first point of attack was the arm wielding the sword.  He pointed his index and middle fingers and jabbed the killer's bicep causing him to drop his blade.  As the laughing grew louder he jabbed the other bicep, this time focusing chakra into his finger tips.  He continued to strike the exact same points rapidly until he broke skin.  Blood began to cover his hands.

"HAHAHAHA! You haven't even hit me. You have something against fighting girls? You had no problem killing my mom!"

Ren sunk his left fingers into the man's bicep, twisted, and curled them to hook his muscles.  He focused %50 of his chakra into his right hand and stared at the heart of the attacker.  With blinding speed he repeatedly poked all the chakra paths leading to the man's heart.  Each strike sent a ripple through the chakra paths.  Maniacal laughter and screams filled the halls.  The strikes were executed with such speed that the flow of chakra to the heart was completely stopped.  Seeing this opportune moment, Ren drew his right arm back.  Ren opened his hand and transferred all his chakra to the center of his palm.  With all his might he pushed his hand toward the man's heart.  The strike connected and the focused chakra shot through the heart and shattered the window behind it.
