1. Please indicate the Dōjutsu or genetic DNA you are intending to transplant to your character.:

Byakugan

2. Why are you giving them this transplant? How will they obtain it?:

I’m giving Rakan Hibon the Byakugan to expand his abilities farther than I can now. Though another reason is so I can have a wider range for options to do in a battle and the title as a Tokubetsu Jonin because it would help me make him an ‘all around’ ninja. But it would also let me explain why his Right Eye is always closed as I want it to have a special weakness.

You see, Rakan is 130 years old and participated in all four wars. This means he could possibly of gotten the Byakugan at anytime within the four wars. But he would of obtain it during the Third War. Throughout history, he has been the assistant for all the Kazekage’s and gained each of their trust through one way or another. The third had seen Rakan as a bit of a brother as Rakan was much older than the Third and had grew a type of bond between him and Rakan. So as he didn’t want Rakan to be easily hurt and wanted him to be more prepared for most things he had given Rakan the opportunity to possess more power to protect Suna and as his Will was strong he accepted without thinking. During the fighting, the Third had somehow obtain a Byakugan from a Hyuga which isn’t that hard to believe as Konoha and Suna went up against one another so killing a main branch family member with the Byakugan wouldn’t be that rare. Though sadly only one eye could be retrieved as Suna’s tactics were to damage the eyes first to hinder their abilities. So what had happen was that some of the top medics in Sunagakure had examined the eye and Rakan’s eye as well as they found a way where they could do a successful transplant and have the Byakugan work at top performance.

3. Briefly summarize their capabilities and abilities using the transplant. Use as much detail as possible in this process.:

As the Byakugan does, Rakan would be able to see his opponents chakra network and their chakra points but he wouldn’t be able to do anything with those. The transplant was actually set up so the one eye can see a 180 degree view at first. Though eventually they would have collected another eye but it was a right one again so what they had done was combine the two so he has a bigger vision area. It wouldn’t be a full 360 but will cover his right side and his back fully. Though his Left side isn’t covered.

4. What are its weakness? Briefly summarize each below.:

Rakan doesn’t have the full 360 degree vision. He has to have his Byakugan activated at all times if its open. When his eye is closed he can deactivate it to conserve chakra but when its open it instantly activates. Though he can activate it while his eye is closed, but at the same time can deactivate it. The chakra usage is also a bit more because of the mutation they had done to it to have it try and reanimate it having two eyes instead of one but had failed which had also cost a bit of chakra usage which is comparable to Kakashi and his Sharingan. Another weakness if mostly for his Eight Gates; he can’t use the Byakugan when using the Second Gate or above.

5. Briefly detail what your plans are, at the moment, for your character if the transplant is approved? What will they do with it? How will they improve or utilize it in a fashion that is unique to them, rather than a rehash of canon character usage or maybe even other fanon characters?

My plans for him is to have a way to cover his blind side as his right eye at the moment is pretty much blind. But if it does get accepted I will make the necessary changes so his background fits. It will also help me fill his Third War section with him obtaining the Byakugan. As I said before, Rakan will use it to cover his blind side but to also help and track down his targets which would make sense since he is assigned to control a small squad for ambushes and assassinations which the Byakugan would greatly help him. He’d use it when using his swords, having that vision around his body would help him greatly to counter attacks with his swords and deal devastating blows to his opponents. But when using Nin or Taijutsu he can also use the Byakugan to cover his blind side and still track down his opponent allowing for battle advantages.
