Byakugan - Passive
The iconic power of the Hyuuga clan, their are few that have not heard of their famous "all seeing eye". The Hyuuga are born with white irises and pupils, and when the Byakugan is active, gain a near-360 degree field of vision to all but a small blind spot behind them. Not only is their field of vision expanded, but they also gain the capability of seeing chakra as a glowing light source; the tradeoff is that their vision loses detail, seeing things simply as shades of white/gray/black, aside from chakra.
Rank 1/2/3: The user gains +1/2/2 Accuracy/Dodge. Sneak Attacks against the user must make a special d20 roll. If the result of this roll is less than 6/6/8 + the user's Awareness modifiers, it is reduced to a non-sneak attack.
Cost: 0 AP
Notes:
Tenketsu Point Knowledge - Passive
The Tenketsu are small pressure points within a targets body which govern the flow of chakra. The Byakugangrants the Hyuuga the capability of seeing chakra, and the Tenketsu themselves appear as glowing points, like stars in the sky, only visible to their all-seeing-eye. By precisely striking these minuscule points, the Hyuuga may damage the chakra system of a target, impairing their capability of lasting in a prolonged battle.
Rank 1 The user is able to target a special Called Shot area in the body; only Hyuuga with this passive may affect the Tenketsu. [Link to Called Shot Rules]
Rank 2: +5% Called Shot chance when targeting Tenketsu.
Rank 3: Inflicting a Called shot Rank of Tenketsu causes the target to immediately lose Chakra based on its rank (as if they had inflicted suppression at that rank).

Gentle Fist - Physical Style
The fighting style of the Hyuuga clan, named after the"tap" like strikes it uses on the opponent.

As the victim lacks any external wounds, the term "Gentle Fist" arose.
Rank 1/2/3: Unarmed Taijutsu gain +2 Accuracy, +1 Critical, and +8% Called Shot/Suppression chance. Unarmed Taijutsu attacks deal -25/20/15% Damage (also applied to their damage bonus cap).

Chakra Vision Scan - Independent Special Move
The Byakugan possesses the ability to see all within a certain radius, nothing being able to escape its wide field of vision. However...this visual sensory is beyond the processing of a normal mind. Using this however, one can focus and block out other senses and concentrate purely on their Byakugan sight, temporarily increasing the distance of their sensory range and enable to pin point their targets through their chakra view.
Rank 1/2/3: The user may reroll their Awareness vs all targets in battle with a +0/1/2 bonus (do not reroll for targets the user already is aware of). For the following 15 seconds, the user will not lose awareness of targets they are aware of.
Cost: 1 AP and 2% Max CP

- Fractured = The victim loses 2% Max CP for every Suppression inflicted on them.
- Broken = The victim loses 2.5% Max CP for every Suppression inflicted on them.
- Like any other Called Shot limb, the Hyuuga must have some method of inflicting Broken penalties to raise Tenketsu to that status, such as the Called Shot abiity, or Eight Trigrams Palm Strike.
- Attacks which would successfully cause a target to be Suppressed against targets which are already at Suppression Cap, still cause them to suffer the Max CP damage even though they cannot be Suppressed any further.

Eight Trigrams: Heavenly Guard - Unarmed Taijutsu
The Heavenly Guard combines the Hyuuga's precise chakra control and graceful movements into one, producing a technique capable of striking enemies just as well as it can protect allies. Showing all the traits of the Gentle Fist, this technique is considered to represent the Discipline as a whole.
Rank 1/2/3: Strikes 1/2/3 targets for 1800 damage. The user gains the 'Heavenly Guard' status. Rank 3 allows the special action to be used.
Special Action - Heavenly Cohort: The user may use this technique reflexively as a Barrier for the user and up to two additional targets, granting each target their own Barrier and the 'Heavenly Guard' status.

Heavenly Guard remains active for 5 seconds, or until hit by an attack.
- Heavenly Cohort has its own individual barrier HP pool for each protected target and the user.

Gentle Step: Twin Lion Fists - Unarmed Taijutsu
A secret technique of the Hyuuga specializes in using their precise control over chakra to shroud their hands in an aura of chakra, often taking a specific shape; the first Hyuuga to use this was said to have transformed her fists into lion heads. Regardless of appearance, the effect is unchanged; the Hyuuga gains the capability of severely crippling the target's ability of containing and generating chakra and energy.

[Hakumei Byakugan] Rank: May only be performed by those with Hakumei Byakugan.Functions as above, however, accuracy is +3 and the damage is increased to 1560/1950/2340.

Cost: 2.75 AP. 2350 CP
HB Cost: 3.75 AP, 4020 CP
Notes:
- May be used once per round.
- The duration of the "chakra sealing" aspect of this attack does not stack; if used on a target already affected, whichever duration is greater will overwrite the other.
