Appearance

• Hair: Ravenous strands of hair fall to just below his shoulder blades, his bangs hiding away from covering his face. Despite its length and his strenuous activity that comes coupled with all shinobi business, it does not normally fall its way in to a tangle or a knot, kept clean, a shine reflects off his hair when shown in light.

• Eyes [Byakugan]: The immaculate ashen slates descending from what could only be from the angelic beings giving birth to the mortals inhabiting the world, were the blessing bestowed to the child destined to carry their wishes. Pupilesss, irisless, colorless, the alabaster voids contain no visible sight of anything pertaining to the natural human eye, until the blood is wakened from its slumber, giving the slightest outlook of humanity to the otherwise antithetic boy.

• Clothing [Ninja]: Heralded by Angles, kitted by the mortal angelic decent that inhabit the earth, the holy dress suited for those expressing the divinity of the kin; the outfit worn by Hyuuga Yatako had been sewn by the finest tailors in the Hyuuga clan. Beautiful alabaster material, broken in to two sets; the robe and the pants, both of the ashen hue; the symbol of the Hyuuga clan was badged to the back of the robe, light in fitting and even called upon to have the mixture of unidentified and unknown materials that radiate with a force beyond normal clothing. On his right shoulder is patched the symbol of Konohagakure no Sato. But robe is a term misfitting, for it only extends just below his hips. As the robe crosses revealing his undershirt, it is revealed to be lined with a dark crimson lining, extending throughout the whole robe. Underneath the shortened robe is another shirt, but this one with the clan of the Hyuuga on the right breast. Both are made from light materials, yet durable strong. Focusing on his glorious pants they are in no special arrangement or embellished with elegant designs but just on the slight side of bagged wear. Tying up both parts of his clothing is a black leather belt, fully holding both selections in place. Wrapped to his feet and tied tightly, the Hyuuga clan has bestowed upon him Cadet Boots, manufactured, padded and designed especially for optimal movement. The piece of clothing that remains to his old style, as he has retired his old Cadet Jacket after much tear had been brought on it through endless everyday protection.

• Clothing [Hokage]: The royal robes of the Hokage, aged with wisdom. Although the very fabric changes, the esamble stays the same and radiates the wonder of ages. Years passed down among the chosen few who become the leader of the village of Konohagakure no Sato, Yatako proudly sports his robe and keeps it as clean as possible. Though at times it can feel quite stuffy and odd, the ceremonial robes cannot be denied as one of the symbols of shinobihood.

Personality

Yatako is incredibly one of a kind, and is known severely for his counter-culture attributions. He grew up a warrior and thus can channel his thoughts and ideas towards thinking like one, but he is not drowned and lost in the shinobi mindset. He is comfortably himself. He still clings to ideals, equality, care and compassion among his people. Outside in the normal life, he remains strong to the Hyuuga ideals with respect and courtesy to guests and newly met acquaintances. Though when around friends, he truly opens up and shares his true inner feelings and outward optimism in the dreary world that seems to be built up. But the constant that remains is his caring persona deriving from his dear ones that no longer are around him. From each person he once loved, Yatako has taken a small bit of their own personality that has been etched in his heart; a void that is being filled with their lessons, their love. The way he acts is never set in stone, but rather could change depending on whom he is accompanied by, the situation or other factors. He houses the emotions, the feelings, the pain of those around him, taking a small part of them and spreading their seeds around the world. He is a dreamer, a philosopher and idealsist wrapped up in a reasonable boot. Although his ideals are strong, he ensures he doesn't allow his mind to be eaten up in false hope.

Titles

Yatako and Zelfie.

• Hyuuga’s Cursed Raven

The self attained title of his first identity; based off the angst held in his heart towards the very idea of his Curse Mark fashioned to his forehead like a brand, like he was impure; rejected. Raven as a bird, for his mark was symbolized for the caged bird. An intelligent bird, the raven. For one reason or another, down the lines of his blood, he was not of the ‘pure’ family and thus, he was healed accountable for the sins of his father. Punished for reasons he had no control over. The phase of anger, of optimism to a happier future where the curse mark would be writ in the history books and left away from the foreheads of children, without a stain to their bodies. A paradox, that’s what he could be called. Filled with angst and optimism. But that title would no suit him, the loved ones in his life that he would discover took away that angst; the’ pure ones’ in his life judged him not for the mark he hid, nor was the question discussed, but rather for whom he was as a person, as their kin. Even as those loved were stripped from his sides, he remained changed, new. A greater understanding of life around him, no longer was he cursed.

• Divinity’s Vassal

Losing the title before him, learning more about the unknown enigmatic entities that control the world; the constant debate of Fate against Free Will was settled within this child, believing in a mixture of both sets, in perfect balance; harmony. But such understand was not capable of humans; mortals, nor had it been intended to be. But as those striped away from him, he felt the obligation to carry their hopes and dreams on his shoulders. Their mission from the Divine, he was its servant; its vassal. Determined not for himself, but for the others who left the living and the ones who had no voice in change, he brought a new title along with a new philosophy. A new understanding, commitment, serving others and ultimately, serving the divine. An act that paid for the debt of being a Hyuuga, no matter the rituals the mortals played with on their children, dividing them. He knew that by the end, his actions would be remembered; he would not be diminished and demeaned for his brand, but accepted for his work.

• The Silver Sentinel | The Divine Palm

Disbanding the former title given to himself, Yatako had gone through great changes in his life and no longer felt he was a servant to the light, but a person all his own in combination. He couldn’t simply be a servant anymore, he believed he was much more than that, a servant couldn’t watch over the masses of his country, there needed to be a leader; a defender. After his clash against the Daimyo; Yoshida Arashi, Yatako crumbled to pieces over the fact he tried his hardest but couldn’t save that man. It troubled him more than it should have, coming close to revoking his vocation as a shinobi until an innocent girl with cerulean hair and magical velvet eyes. She convinced Yatako he wasn’t evil, he was their Silver Sentinel. Their protector; they needed him and he couldn’t revoke his blood for such a reason. Azumi was her name, perhaps the final smile of Fate that helped the boy move on from his past. She gave him the final cue to become the protector he was meant to be, the Divine Palm.

• Yatako's main weapon of choice are a pair of legendary silver gauntlets called the Shouri-te (Hands of Justice), he is one of the very few warriors that use these kinds of weapons. They utilize the element of wind and were responsible for the disappearance of treasure hunters that sought it. A man named Naoki gave them to Yatako during his stay at the Alchem Estates. On the left gauntlet, the symbol '‘勝利’ is engraved, the symbol of triumph. Likewise on the right are the symbols ‘高揚’, translating to exaltation.
• Yatako's secondary weapon that he has come to wield adeptly is a katana called Kinen (Memory). It was given to him by Nara Gensai upon leaving the world of ninja as a gift. Then, it was a simple black katana, but Yatako had it reformed as a memory of his lost Brother. It's lined with black and silver metal and the symbols of the Nara and Hyuuga clans, along with the signet of Konohagakure no Sato. A silver cross dangles off the end of the sword.
• The Hyuuga was seen prior to donning formal dress to having three head bands. His, Hyuuga Azumi's and Nara Gensai's occupying his forehead, waist and forearm respectively.

Out of Game Knowledge; OOC

• In talking about the relationship between him and character, Azure has said, "The major amount of me, he's a dreamer like me, more of an idealist though. Yet he's got a very realistic side to the idealism which is me through and though. He has a reverence for things he can't see and 'divine' things, a real appreciation for nature and beauty. Serenity and inner peace and he has a struggle between doing what is right and what he has to do. Responsibility on a macrolevel, along with learning things in politics, history, science (Syaoran's fault) and wisdom. He also inherited my luck with the ladies."
• The name "Yatako" was thought up on the spot and its true meaning, or existence outside of NA is unclear.
• Yatako was made as a replacement for Azure's first character on NA, Hyuuga Takumi during the transition between 4.0-5.0 and so he linked the character's together by being direct cousins. In order to do this, some Hyuuga norms were broken by a Branch marrying a Head.
• Yatako's Phase Two fight was considered a draw due to calculation errors.
