Basic Storyline!



"One of two explanations are available to explain how you got here today. Either the Hunter's Council invited you to join us, or you've applied to take this exam.

We here on the Hunter's Council want to thank you for your interest in becoming a Hunter, to have gotten so far, shows that you have real promise.

So please prepare yourselves for a Hunter's Exam like no other. We plan to test you in every way we can, so that when you receive your license, you can proudly say that you are the best of the best..." -Excerpt from a packet applicants received upon arriving at the test site.



Timeline of Major events.
(Also, time is being measured in Hunter Exam sessions, cause I couldn't figure out what year this took place in canon )



  • Hunter Exam session #288-Killua Zoldyck successfully knocks out all other examinees during the very first test.
  • Hunter Exam Session(s) #289-#311-Hunter Exam applications have been dropping off, due to the almost entire Examinee group of Session #288 being disqualified in the first round, creating a lack of manpower to police the Nen using criminals.
  • Hunter Exam Session(s) #293-#316-Criminal activity, especially for those who have and use Nen, has been slowly increasing over the last 20 some years. Several smaller countries have had their government slaughtered and replaced with a totalitarian dictatorship or left to anarchy.
  • Hunter Exam Session(s) #297-#317-World leaders, the Hunter Council, Academic leaders, Scientists, Military personnel, and others from around the world all came together several times over these years discussing the issue and trying, and failing to find a satisfactory solution for everyone. Finally the Hunter Council declared they would increase Hunter ranks by several levels. Explaining the idea of inviting powerful Non-Hunters, as well as Magical Beasts who were capable of using Nen (for instance Kirikos and Chimera Ants) who have at the very least neutral morals, and an understanding as to why they needed to fix this as soon as humanly possible. The group disbanded unhappy again, but the Chairman of the Council was pleased. He figured this would be fun for a while, if not the only way to solve the issue.
  • Hunter Exam Session #317- Present day, the Examinees are preparing to head towards their futures, all sure of their inevitable success.

RULES



  • RESPECT! Respect yourselves, your intelligence, the people around you, and their intelligence, and me and my intelligence. Keep drama out of the OOC and firmly in the IC where it belongs.
  • NO MARY SUES OR GARY STUES PLEASE. That's an obvious one, but I am still stating it, just in case.
  • No using/controlling of other player's characters at any time. EXCEPT, if they give you permission to do so, or you're a manipulator who successfully completed the steps required to take over control of the character. (This also requires permission to do though.)
  • Posting! You are expected to post IC at least once if not twice a week, the post should be at minimum three paragraphs, five to ten sentences long. Posting three five sentence paragraphs will not cut it though. NOW LISTEN HERE! Sometimes writer's block strikes us stupid and we can't type nothing up, it happens, I understand, I'm guilty of it. Post what you can and try to make up the difference with the quality of the post, or with your next post.
  • You can create a Magical Beast who can use Nen, how ever pay attention to the CS I'll be posting, because there are a few blanks to fill that require more thought. (For instance one of the blanks is "How did (insert Magical Beast here) learn of their species ability to use Nen?)
  • *Some* foul language is acceptable however try to keep in mind that not everyone is comfortable with it. (Also, call me out if I get bad with foul language cause...I've got a sailor's tongue sometimes.)
  • ROMANCE is a-ok, even encouraged, sex however, is not. Refrain from living your fantasies out in the IC. Everyone does not want to stumble onto a sex scene...and by everyone I mean me.
  • Please @mention me at the end of your character sheet, so that I can make sure I see it :)
  • THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE, have fun.
  • To prove you read the rules please have the answer to the following question placed in a hider on your CS. "Have I used a double negative at any time in the rules?"



Nen





What is Nen?

Nen is the active use of the life energy that surrounds and fills us, also known as 'aura'.


What is aura?

Aura is the 'life energy' we all produce. Until the aura is excited either through intense study, exercise, and meditation or a single jolt of someone else's Aura, while they are in a state on Ren.


What is Ren?

Ren is a state you achieve after master Ten, and Zetsu. Ren is the point where you focus inwards and visualize energy, and when you have visualized enough, you release it in a focused shape around you, acting as armor and weapon


What is Ten?

Ten is the first part of of training you complete when training Nen. Ten is the ability to manifest your aura at will, and allows you to control it and even allowing you to prevent it from being released to the air around you.


What is Zetsu?

Zetsu is the ability to erase your presence, or more accurately erase your aura. However, while in this state you are vulnerable to attack. Good for sneaking around.


What is Hatsu?

Hatsu means to act. Hatsu, is when you put Ten, Zetsu, and Ren into effect. Hatsu can also be seen as a special ability of some kind.


There are several more Nen skills that I can add, but I'll wait to add them until they start coming up in the IC.

There are 6 specifications within Nen that I will now go into.


Enhancer



An Enhancer focuses on...well Enhancing stuff. The "special" abilities for an Enhancer would be to strengthen physical attacks, strengthen physical defense, and strengthen weapons and shields beyond their natural physical limitations. While all Nen-Users can do this, an Enhancer will have the easiest time doing it, as well as having the most dramatic effects.

There is theory to support the idea that Enhancers can also enhance sound waves, emotions, ideas, their aura, even the aging process, there is reason to believe an Enhancer can enhance everything to beyond natural limits.


Emitter



Emitters focus on projectiles and projectile abilities, they rule distance fighting, capable of shooting their aura at their enemies. But they aren't to to far from the Transmuter specification, while that specification will never be something easy for them to do, they can give special effects to their Emissions.

What I mean is, they can shoot a ball of aura, that's been slightly altered into acid, causing two types of damage instead of just one. However if I were to use percentages to show effectiveness it'd start as

100% effective in Emitter
30% effective in Transmuter.

After spending time working on mixing the two it'll look like this, at least while using the mixed specification abilities.

80-90% effective in Emitter
50% effective in Transmuter

Not a lot, but definitely more than enough to give a sharp bite to attacks with limited loss in their natural Specification.


Transmuter



A Transmuter can change their aura. Sounds simple enough. At first. However a Transmuter at 100% effectiveness would be a formidable foe. They can turn their aura into acid, fire, electricity, storms, an ocean, the list goes on and on. Yes, there must be a strong physical, emotional, and mental connection to it, they are changing the very energy that gives them life into this material.

So while a Transmuter is limited in only being able to change their aura to match something, the right choice and most specifically the strongest choice occurs to them quickly.

There is reason to believe that Transmuters may also act changes onto their actual bodies, that they are not limited, except to what is "them" (such as their body or their aura.)


Manipulator



A Manipulator is probably one of the more easily understandable specifications. The ability allows one to control the movements, actions, thoughts, desires, so on so forth. In almost all cases there must be a an action, or controller, some kind limitation to control a living being. However I animate objects don't have their own desires, and as such you don't need to have some power up to control it.


Conjurers



Conjurers are able to conjure something from their aura, now this is similar to the idea of Transmuter on the surface, however the two are very different. A Transmuter changes the aura to match the material, a Conjurer literally creates whatever it was. A living creature, chains, a rose garden, whatever their mind can dream up. There is no true limit to what can be conjured up, however to be successful they'd have to be as intimately knowledgeable of it as they can be.


Specialist



Specialists are special. They could be drawing 100% out of every single other specifications or have an entirely unique ability all their own (such as seeing the future, or being supernaturally good at some particular skill set) Not a lot is known about Specialists, they aren't common and what they can do is entirely unique to them.


Limitations



Limitations and Rules are a good way to truly unlock potential within your Nen abilities. For every additional step that must be taken, the stronger the final product, or by limiting who you can affect or when you cannot use it, or just any limitations on the ability at all and you raise the strength.

However, watch out. There's always a cost if you break the limits you set.


Someone pointed out that the fact that not everyone is automatically starting with Nen makes some characters OP. However, this was something canon did, not everyone started with Nen. Also, Nen may or may not help you get your license, it depends on what your abilities are.

Also, you have the ability to choose whether you start with Nen or not.


If you have any ideas, story arcs, evil villains, or whatever please go ahead and PM them to me, because I want this yo be OUR story. Now while some of these may not be able to be used (for whatever reason) I'll try to give each of them a chance to shine if I can :)


OK, I believe that's everything for now, I hope to see you in here soon :)

Name: Rohan Meister

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Rohan stands at 1.78 meters with a slim frame but an athletique physique thanks to his training.

He has shaggy, unruly and unkept short black hair that falls just centimeters before his eyebrows.

His eyes are sharp, slim and beady. Many say that his eyes are 'dead', but they tend to light up at the oddest of times.

He tends to wear long overcoats, usually black, white dress shirts and black pants.

Despite his training and athletique build, Rohan does not actually have a lot of stamina and tires rather quickly. He also says that 'thinking tires him' so he tends to eat a lot of chocolates or other sweets to avoid being tired. Why he isn't fat with the incredible sweet tooth he has is a mystery.

Personality: Cunning, deceptive and distrustful are the first words to come to mind when speaking about Rohan.

Every step he takes is calculated, every plan has been in the brewing for some years now, and every new person is immediately categorized into one of the many 'profiles' he has inside his head for people.

Many think him cautious, to ridiculous extremes. He, however, has an entirely different word for this. An overthinker.

He gives everything one hundred turns before he is actually satisfied with an outcome. He practices conversations inside his head for situations that will probably never happen. There are plans inside his head that will probably never see the light because of how crazy the situations he schemed them for are. He does not trust others simply because treason is a big plot point in more than one mystery novel.

Rohan, while not the kind of guy who will just outright lie to you when he meets you, is indeed an skilled actor and knows how to bluff his way out of more than one thing.

There is a way to see through his acting, however, and that is to know the man himself.

Rohan's expressions tend to be few and far between, but when he is acting, he is a carnival of emotions. His mouth goes up and down like a rollercoaster. The usual small frown he does when he is upset is changed by a childish pout and several other things. It is easy to know when he is acting, as long as you know the man behind the mask.

Since he is not precisely the strongest guy around, he tries to at least be the smartest and win most of his matches through cunning and planning. He is not too shabby in martial arts either, but he vastly prefers a well thought plan over a 'punch first, asks questions later' kind of method.

He tends not to reveal too much of himself when first meeting someone, lest they discover his abilities and weaknesses to later use them against him. It is hard to gain Rohan's trust, but once you do... well, let's say a dog cannot compare to his loyalty and blind trust.

Aside from that, the man is sarcastic, sharp tongued and often times a pervert, despite denying it just as often.

Strengths:
  • Cunning and deceptive
  • Intelligent
  • Excellent actor
  • Basic knowledge of martial arts
  • Quick learner
  • Excellent tactician


Weaknesses:
  • Low stamina
  • Below average strength
  • Tends to panic when things don't go according to plan
  • Doesn't exactly like crowds
  • Bad puns
  • Lots of bad puns


Talents: Excellent tactical thinking. Excellent acting skills.

Specification: Transmutter

Have you discovered Nen yet? No

Special Abilities: Nein yet

Misc:


Anything Else? Not really, no will have me some cool ice powers when I get nen

@OneStoryToMany

Name: Ivy Katrina Raven

Age:16

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Ivy stands at an even 6 feet tall when she remembers not to slouch.. Between this and the serious, stern nature of her face she is often mistaken to be in her mid twenties rather than her mid teen. She as a sprinters build, strong, lean and powerful. A body trained and honed to fight. Her red hair is pulled back into a pony tail. Her body is covered with tattoos. Well it would be more accurate to say two large tattoos. unconventional for one so young, but her family is far from conventional and it was her decision to get them. All along the left side of her body is a set of twisting winding thorny vines like that of a rose bush, with a few scattered roses among them. On her right side are various silhouettes of black birds, Likewise these are in various sizes and cover the majority of her right half of her body. Both tattoos stop short of her neck, wrists, and ankles. She's often dressed in lose fitting cloths, good of concealing weapons, but also easy to move in or remove in case of battle.

Personality: Ivy is like a fire. under the right circumstances she is pleasant to be around. She can be supportive, helpful, and a beacon that others can rally behind. She can also be destructive, wild and uncontrollable. A force that can ruin things around.

Ivy normally has two settings. First is best described as neutral. here she seems somewhat aloof. She holds herself with a sort of intense quietness, It speaks of confidence and ferocity and a sort of sense of authority that you'd expect from a senior member of a street gang or experienced body guard. An aura that dares others to approach her at their own risk and is a somewhat comforting, bolstering presence to her allies. A sword to her foes and a shield to friends.

But underneath that Ivy has a drive, a for combat and physical challenges. She lives for the thrill of a challenging battle. She'll jump head long into combat, dive into silly wager, or jump at a chance to take on a challenging target. It has often gotten her in and out of trouble. mostly in though...like 90 percent of the time it was into trouble. But that love of ever greater challenges, was what drew her to the prospect of becoming a hunter. Its a licence to get into trouble. And after all, even the challenges faced by a 'mundane on paper' hunter focus like archaeology or cuisine can be epic and deadly. So a hunter devoted to finding and over coming challenges, well that sounded like the life for her. Become a hunter When confronted with a potential challenge she is always eager to tackle it. Be it fist fights or challenging target.

She's not particularly talkative as to why she knows how to fight, shoot, and steal. But she certainly loves to talk about fighting shooting and stealing. She hate to lose. Anything, Fights, bets, allies, friends, possessions. If she fights fiercely for fun she will fight even more fiercely to keep from losing something, even if it is just a petty thing that she only half cares for. It's a more of the principle of the thing than anything else, or so she says.

Strengths:
-Courageous
-spirited
-fiercely loyal
-well rounded fighter
-Determined

Weaknesses:
- Short temper and short sighted
- Motivated by a drive for battle
-Bad at plans, like acts without thinking most of the time
-more brave than wise
-more likely to try and punch a problem than think about it

Talents: knife play, gun play, lock picking, pick pocketing, getting into fights. She's really good at that last one

Specification: Materialization

Have you discovered Nen yet: No

Special Abilities: Some day....some day...

Misc:


perhaps not my best work, could probably use some tweeks still. Let me know what ya'll think I'm always open to critique.

Hmmm, she's pretty good. A few tweaks wouldn't be remiss, but they're not necessary. I like her, and she might struggle on some parts of the Exam, but that'll just be extra fun!

Awesome, if we can get like 3 more people (KiltmanBagz and the two who showed interest in the Int Chk) then we can get this party started.

Also, due to the fact that I couldn't figure out how to participate in the exam without accidentally taking advantage of it (I have a few plans for what's going on. It's always bothered me that they only tested physical skills. I have few mental tests I guess you could say.)
