The Zodiac Gather To Discuss The Dark Continent


TL;DR Summary:[b/]
-An Expedition To The Dark Continent has been announced by a man claiming to be the son of Netero
-The Zodiac do not, as a rule, trust this man
-They are in fact correct not to as he has already sent a primary scouting expedition of experienced hunters to do a preliminary job, get around, get information and get back in time to warn him.
- The Dark Continent has been confirmed to be the most dangerous place known to man, full of horrors.
- the players are all experienced hunters, with enough general and combat experience to handle most situations, whether as a team or by them self.


[B]In Character Info:

This is the mission, You will travel with a small team of hunters to the dark continent. Upon reaching it you will begin a series of scouting excursions around the main trip's designated landing areas. You must keep an accurate log of everything you find, see or hear. You have been handpicked for your skills, failure is not an option. Remember, this operation is top secret, absolute pragmatism is required. Should one of the party die, their remains must be completely destroyed. Any signs of camp should be gone as well at least three days before the main trip arrives. In the extremely unlikely event that you run into any other hunters, your objective will be capture, extract information and dispose. Remember also that you are not expected to survive, even with your advanced skills, however in return for completing this mission you may ask of me anything within in the human race's power. Should you not reply within 2 hours of opening, or decline, this message will self-obliterate. Good luck hunter's for you will surely need it. -Beyond Netero


Out of Character Info:
This is a hunter x hunter rp set just ahead of the current place in the story. In depth knowledge of hunter x hunter is not required, however I strongly reccomend that you get to grips with the power system in it, as it's fairly complex by shounen manga standards. As far as rules go it's the standard plus some Hunter x Hunter specific stuff:
1. No relations to characters featuring in the series, genetic or otherwise.I don't want any 'Zoldyck-Freecs's or 'Lucifer's running around!
2. With nen abilities the strength of the ability is directly related to the strength of your character, this is exlained in the manga but often forgotten. The example is your ability can not be a sword that can cut anything, as how good your sword is at cutting would then be fixed, instead you would have a sword which grows sharper according to the characters abilities and the restrictions placed upon it.
3. No copying nen abilities. This is kind of like the first point, try to create something unique to you.
4. As far as restrictions go, 'it has a massive cool down' or 'my character must rest for a day after using it' are pet hates of mine. Expect me to come up with extremely contrived, somewhat deus-ex-machina-y situations to exploit this with the end goal of your character being maimed and fed to gold-plated hover lobsters.
5. The god-modding limits for this is your power limit should be somewhere similar to Morel (the guy with the huge pipe) and Knov (portal guy).
6. Thanks for bearing with me, have fun and stick with it. Dedication is what I want most!


Potential Character Sheet:
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Appearance: (picture and/or physical description is fine)
Hunter Tpe: (e.g. criminal hunter, gourmet hunter, treasure hunter)
Nen Type: (Only one!)
Nen abilities: (remember the nen hexagon)
Personality:
History:

That's all! I can't wait to here from people! Even if you're not interested, feed back and ideas are welcome, thank you!

I've just been keeping up with the anime, not the manga. How much of what happens in that gap would it be good to know for this RP? I'm caught up at episode 131 (Gon v Pitou). On that topic, you wrote no god-modding in the rules, but what about no Gon-modding? That kid could kick Goku's ass at this point, and he's only like twelve!

And oh yeah, I'm in. HxH is the best shonen anime ever created, and nen is hands-down the simplest and most comprehensive power system I've ever seen. There is nothing that doesn't fit into it in some way.

Excellent, good to have you in! I'll reserve a spot. Nen is awesome, it allows you to be wildly inventive, as you said it's basically all encompassing haha. Not a lot to be honest, I won't spoil anything for you. Not a lot has been revealed post Chimera Ants so there isn't a lot you would be missing. I want this RP to work for people who have a basic grasp of the universe and nen, so you should be fine.

Haha, I think that you'll find that Gon breaks all most all of my rules:
1. He's related to Ging and himself, and his mother haha
2. Ok, he's alright for this one
3. If you were to use him as a character he would be copying his own power
4. His super saiyan power has a massive cool down as its limit
5. He's much much stronger than Morel, even if morel is significantly smarter, with a more interesting ability.

So you're spot on!

Ok, good to have so much interest! I think I'll be moving this to OOC.

Kiltman, I love that character sheet. The nen power is so cool! I love the idea of a a raven shotgun! The history really supports the hunter type as well so it all checks out. This is all quite a long winded way of saying accepted!

Still working on a fun and creative nen ability for my character. It's so hard to think of something original! I started with a chess-themed ability that reacted to the enemy's movements as if they were a chess piece moving across the board, but now I'm thinking about one based on marbles and the different planets, with each special planet marble having a different effect when struck. Or maybe that would work better with pool balls... I really need to stop thinking right now. Whatever it ends up being, it'll probably have something to do with a game.

OK everyone OOCs up, but don't rush your characters haha! Nen abilities can be tricky, it took me so long to come up with something I was happy with that wasn't over powered! The game idea sounds reaaally cool. If you went with pool balls you'd presumably have the added benefit of being able to smash enemies over the head with a pool cue! For some reason that brings to mind for me the Zoldyck family guard who could flick coins like bullets haha.
