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!


Character Sheet:
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Appearance: (picture and/or physical description is fine)

Can I temporarily reserve a spot? I'll try to have a CS up soon, but I can sometimes take a while to put finishing touches up. ^^;

Your place can be temporarily reserved, but only because I like chemistry and your profile picture haha. Masterjay that CS rocks, the power is sooo well thought out and ties in amazingly to his both highly advanced and extremely childlike personality, you're both definitely accepted. I'm looking forward to the character dynamic of criminal hunter to hunter who sort of is a criminal, I can't wait to see how you guys roleplay it!

Fun fact, I just stole the names of the two largest candy companies for Mars' name. It fits him perfectly and still sounds pretty legit.

Mars Mondelez definitely does work, got to love that alliteration! @Theobromine you're character rocks, and you're basically accepted, but can I just ask, how high temperatures are we talking about for water cauldron, and how long can she keep water cauldron active for?

racoonman said @Theobromine you're character rocks, and you're basically accepted, but can I just ask, how high temperatures are we talking about for water cauldron, and how long can she keep water cauldron active for?

I don't have an exact range of numbers but I would compare it to the temperatures of a bunsen burner (would take time to reach very high temperatures though, probably practical up to about 212 degrees F or 100 degrees C in combat)? And to be honest, I haven't thought about time limits for this ability since I haven't seen transmuters in the series show any particular discomfort or time limit when using their abilities. Do I need to set a time limit for this?

@Theobromine no, not at that range of temperatures, I was just worried that it could be used to instantly third degree burn anyone who came near you haha. But it sounds well balanced, no need to worry about exact ranges!

@Ljett Marko is one cool character, suitably dangerous for someone who's grown up rough in meteor city. I just want to ask a couple of questions about your abilities: for nano swarm how big is the swarm and how big are the bugs? For code command: record does his ability to record depend on how difficult the technique is and how much he's seen it in use and can he perform it perfectly after recording it without practicing it? Sorry if this feels like an interrogation I just want to know all the ins and outs haha.

Hahaha, they'd have to be standing pretty still and have skin + muscle as thin as paper. I'll be sure to add that extra information into my CS to make things clear.

EDIT: Added that info to my CS.

(In my opinion it's a bit rushed, but here's my character)

Name: Zephyr Nowack

Gender: Male

Age: 35

Appearance:

Hunter Type: Contact Hunter

Nen Type: Enhancement

Nen abilities:
Metal Cutter: Enhances the durability and sharpness of Zephyr's sword.

Winged Sandals: Enhances Zephyr's speed.

Armor: Enhances Zephyr's body's durability.

Guard: Enhances the durability of Zephyr's sword's sheath.

Gigas: Greatly enhances Zephyr's speed, strength, stamina, and durability. Zephyr has made a vow to only use this skill against opposing forces that will absolutely overpower him otherwise.

Personality: Zephyr is a man who cares not for who he is hired by or who he has to work with. What he cares about is how much he will be paid for his labor. If he is hired to hunt something, then he will as long as the price is equal to the amount of effort he will put into it. If he finds complications in a hunt, and learns that his employer was aware of it, then he will add a sub-fee. If the complication was mere coincidence (at least as far as he knows), then the price will remain the same.
Zephyr is always serious on a hunt, and has an eye for prices. If he thinks the amount he will receive is not fair, he will refuse to take on the hunt. As previously stated, there are instances where might add a sub-fee. If it is not taken, then he will warn his client that he will take the sub-fee in an appropriate amount of their blood instead.

History: Zephyr was born to a poor family, and abandoned 2 years after birth. An orphanage took him in, and raised him. Although no parent had chosen him for adoption, he still grew into a fine young man. When he left, he managed to find a job in the city. At first, things were fine for him, but eventually he would lose his first job. For a few years, he had gone from one job to the next, trying to earn himself a living, learning the amount he's given for his labors. Soon enough, his situation had worsened to the point where he could not obtain even the lowest paying of jobs. He was homeless and close to penniless. He took the option to become a Hunter out of desperation.

The Hunter Examination was a nightmare to him. People dying or being ripped to pieces all around him. The only reason he survived and passed was through luck and his already large desire to survive. During the exam, he had taken a sword from a corpse in order to have a weapon to defend himself with. There was a situation where he had to cut down a group that had decided to kill him. He survived by running fast, and killing them one at a time. The images haunted him even after passing the exam.

Zephyr had been informed that he needed to learn about Nen in order to be accepted as a real Hunter, so he set out to search for a teacher. He found one, or rather one found him. Zephyr was traveling through a desert in search of someone who could teach him about Nen. He had run out of water, and passed out near an oasis. An old man had saved his life, and within a year, taught him about Nen. Having not much time left in his life, the old man made the decision to place Zephyr through initiation.

As time went on, Zephyr had gone from one hunt to another, being cheated out of a fair price in several of them. Some employers intentionally withheld information and feigned innocence when approached with complaints about the lack of knowledge. This led to Zephyr's current personality towards people. The only exceptions were those from his orphanage.

I wouldn't have been able to tell that it was rushed haha. It's cool, nice to have a total mercenary on the team. Could you just clear up what 'absolutely overpower' means?

I guess in this case, being overpowered is when the enemy can overcome any technique or skill I use against them, in which case, I have to use a technique I almost never use.

I've been keeping up with the 2011 anime and I have a good understanding of the Nen powers. Can you give me a few hours to come up with a character sheet, or are you guys not accepting anymore people?
