Nickname/Alias: Defective Product
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Birthplace: Konohagakure
Clan/Bloodline: Hyuuga, Main Branch
Rank: Genin
Personality: An extremely tenacious individual. The kind of crazy person who can set a goal and painstaking leverage anything and everything in his metaphorical arsenal to make it happen. Naturally, he isn't very much the type to lose his cool in most situations, but that's not necessarily a good thing. He bottles up all his negativity and, while it provides him insane levels of restraint, eventually it'll come to boil if he isn't careful. He absolutely detests those who think themselves greater than everyone else simply because they are more powerful, an opinion borne from their incompatibility with his personal ideals. In that sense, he could be called naive in his almost self-destructive dedication to his beliefs. Nevertheless, Rinnosuke is the very definition of someone who will stay true to their convictions until the very end.
History: The first born of the Hyuuga main branch, and more or less a member of the clan in name only. And although he was born with the Byakugan, the power of Rinnosuke's dojutsu was weak even compared to the worst eyes in the entire history of the family. Perhaps in a different family he would've been born blind. Not wishing to accept the possibility that the first of the newest generation's dojutsu could be so hinderingly pathetic, the clan assumed he was merely a late-bloomer and expected his Byakugan to reach power befitting his status soon enough.
Unfortunately it didn't, and even alongside the increasingly draconian training regimen he forced himself into, he couldn't even come close to his clan's capabilities one bit. His Byakugan remained as weak as ever, and without it he couldn't use the Gentle Fist as effectively as he'd wish - though he would end up using Gentle Fist as a basis for a variant Taijutsu style. His regular jutsu weren't much better either. And with each year that passed, his clan turned their gaze away from him more and more. Though it had not been told to him outright, Rinnosuke knew that the consensus was that he was not worthy of the family name even with all his effort into trying to just reach the standard.
But Rinnosuke was never one to remain fettered. Though it seemed he could never become a true Hyuuga shinobi, he refused to allow himself to just lay down and accept his fate. Even if he was weak. Even if he wasn't born into power. Even didn't have a natural aptitude... He persevered, redoubling his efforts again and again. He was determined to prove that he wasn't
anyone's lesser - that greatness is
earned, not given.
