They are very sensible, coherent lines. But yeah, enhancement is known as the nen type which just builds up on the basics, and gets very effective at that.
Still a work in progress but figured id post the WIP just so you know I'm still here. Decided to go with Enhancement since I was having trouble with coming up with a conjurer ability that was unique enough. also, this ability really seemed cool to me.
Taka Manahiro
Informal or Preferred Name- Taka
Age-21
Birth Place- Meteor City (says he's from York New City)
Birth Date- 3-17
Gender Or Preferred Pronoun-Male
Height & Weight-6’1 200
Notable Physical Attributes- High strength- Outside of his normal enhancement ability Taka is naturally extremely strong explaining his natural tendency towards more blunt methods of combat
Extremely durable- Just as he is able to dish out an extreme amount of damage Taka is also able to take quite the beating.
Discovery of Nen- Though his body was already using a small amount of nen naturally, Taka didn't truly learn about the strange power until he met Makimoto. Though he lost to her in their first duel, Taka impressed her enough for the women to take him in as a student. Since then Taka has trained tireresly to strengthen his one aura so that he may one day finally defeat his master.
Nen Type- Enhancement
General Ability- Like a true Enhancer, Taka has shown natural talent at the use of Ken and Ryo even in the hectic chaos of battle. Even though Taka has shown extraordinary skill with these more advanced nen disciplines, the basic form of Zetsu seems to be a particularly weak point for him. While he can still perform Zetus when needed Taka much prefers to use Ren or Hatsu to announce his presence and frighten his opponents. Though not an essential part of his training being an enhancer Taka has ensured that his Hatsu suits his own personal fighting style and personality making it particularly potent.
Hatsu- Free Shot Taka converts a portion of the damage done to him in a fightback into his own Nen. This converted nen is then used to either increase his own power or is built up until it finally boils over exploding in a large nen blast.
Weapons or Equipment- -Hunters license
Trained Skills or Knowledge- Taka learned how to fight from a young age and has been trained in the art for most of his life. To most his fighting style seems to be just senseless brawling, this in part is true. However, Taka has a mind for strategy when it comes to a fight and how best to approach them. Though not the same as say your brilliant military general Taka would surprise many with his quick assessment of a person's ability and how best to combat it given his or anthers own strengths.
Notable Scars or Physical Appearance Traits- NA
Notable Personality Traits/Personality- Pride that borders on arrogance is often the first thing people think of when Taka comes to mind, and to an extent they would be correct. More so than anything Taka is very prideful of both his strength and his home. This pride serves as the centerpiece for most of his actions and how he carries himself. This can at times come off as standoffish or taka having a superiority complex which isn't quite accurate. While he does value personal strength above all others he is not a heartless person. In fact, those that he has deemed a close friend or family can always count on the monster of a fighter to have their back regardless if they are in the right or wrong.
Past Affiliations or Experience- Meteor City (Still has a close connection to the city and is very prideful of his home.)
Notable Relations- Makimoto- Mentor that taught him how to use nen Father- deceased Mother- Deceased Younger sister- Alive, a bodyguard for hire
General History- Taka was always a fighter, you had to be if you wanted to live in Meteor city. The strong survive and the weak die was a fact that many unfortunately learned the hard way. Those that were lucky enough to live after learning those hard lessons faced harsh lives as outcasts amongst the greater world. Though there was hope, at least those proficient in combat and willing to do some less savory jobs for a bit of cash. Taka was one such of these individuals who were not only willing to but also seemed to enjoy the fighting he was hired to do.
One day however Taka, though an excellent fighter and definitely the best of his age, bit off more than he could chew when he challenged a woman who was a stranger to their city. To say it was one-sided would be an insult to the woman who made short work of the boy that had openly challenged her. Though he stood no chance in even landing a blow against her Taka was far too determined, or stubborn to give up so he continued to attack. As the fight drew on he began to swing more and more recklessly until he was out of gas and found himself face first in the dirt. Lucky however Taka’s determination and refusal to give up even when he had clearly lost seemed to impress the women who offered to take him under her wing and train him. Ever since then Taka has studied under Makimoto in an effort to not only make her proud but also to one day surpass her.
@ZxyxZemon I have made a small edit to Pasche's CS by naming his uncle and parents in the notable relations segment.
Also it's not done yet but can I get a review of what I have got so far for his npc uncle?
(Character Image)
Formal Name-
Jax Albarn
Age- 31
Gender Or Preferred Pronoun- Male
Height & Weight- 5'11 and 155 pounds
Notable Physical Attributes- Jax has a naturally high pain tolerance, which allows him to fight while ignoring some pretty serious injuries. The downside of course is that he can have trouble telling how serious an injury is, which is how his right hand ended up so damaged.
Discovery of Nen- Jax actually got initiated by a friend if his who made it to the 202nd floor of Heaven's Arena and was taught the basics of Nen by a fellow contestant, who neglected to mention the dangers of forcefully opening the Aura Nodes that way. He was lucky enough that the experience only left him with a few broken ribs while another friend ended up blind in one eye.
After he was recovered and the mission they were on had failed it still took him a few months to find someone capable of actually teaching him instead of just explaining the theory behind the Four Major Principles. As such it took him about a year to master them.
Luckily the same teacher was also able to teach him the more advanced applications in another eight months and how to use Manipulation, Enhancement and Conjuration in half a year after that.
Nen Type- Emission
General Ability- Jax has mastered the basic and advanced application of Nen, and while he is an Emitter he can use Manipulation, Enhancement and Conjuration as well but has no experience with Transmutation or Specialism.
Hatsu-
Third Arm: To make up for his damaged hand Jax conjures an extra arm from his right shoulder. Due to it being made of Nen he can't feel anything with it but it is slightly stronger than his normal arms and a lot more flexible.
Nen bullets: The bullets are fired from a real gun and Jax can create seven at a time, one for each chamber and the barrel itself. While he can switch them around he can't reload until he has fired every single one nor can he create any amount of them other than seven but gets to choose what type he wants. Also anyone capable of using Nen even slightly can use any remaining bullets for nothing more than the energy it would cost to fire them if they get their hands on his gun.
Impact bullet: This bullet has the most force behind it but delivers it in the form of a concussive blast with no penetrating power.
Homing Bullet: As the name says this bullet homes in on its target but can be blocked by anything capable of stopping a normal bullet.
Exploding Bullet: Explodes on impact.
Boosting Bullet: To be used on himself or an ally, doesn't heal the target but transfers the Nen used in making it to them
Marker Bullet: Another non damaging bullet. Feeds on the target's Nen and lets him where to find the target. Only gives the info as a straight line to the target and doesn't include distance, or altitude.
Sonic Bullet: Three times as fast as his other bullets.
Paralyzing Bullet: While this bullet does no damage it will paralyze whatever bodypart it hits for a period of time ranging from three seconds to a minute.
Weapons or Equipment- A six shooter with the firing pin removed, which he uses for his Nen bullets. Two brass knuckles.
Trained Skills or Knowledge- Before he became a Hunter Jax trained at a boxing gym and is still a skilled hand to hand fighter even if he can't use his real right arm for serious fights. Like his nephew he is good at shadowing people though he mostly relies on In to do so.
After his injury he trained himself in markmanship and he is a great shot.
Notable Scars or Physical Appearance Traits- Due to an injury early in his career as Hunter which went untreated for too long Jax suffers from mallet finger on his right hand, affecting his ring- finger. His right hand as a whole is covered in scars and permanently slightly swollen at the wrist. The biggest reason it's so bad though is simply because he let it go untreated for too long.
Notable Personality Traits/Personality- Jax can't stand bullies of any kind and in fact became a Blacklist Hunter in order to deal with the stronger ones out there. He is naturally overconfident but his experiences have tempered that part of him and he will try to stay objectives about his odds, even if his trackrecord isn't 100 %.
He is patient enough to pull off stakeouts even if he does get bored during them and often multitasks by doing something simple to keep busy.
Past Affiliations or Experience- While he no longer boxes professionally he still visits his old gym to touch up on the basics.
He also stays in touch with his old Hunter friends Mitchel and Kyra even though both of them have surpassed his level, with Mitchel even becoming an One Star Hunter.
Notable Relations- - Mitchel Riggs: His best friend and the Hunter who initiated him. - Kyra Alyssa- His other childhood friend who is blind in one eye. - Master Dorothy Maldonado: The Hunter who taught him how to use Nen. - Rowan Foster: His brother in law. - Anastasia Foster-Albarn: His sister. - Pasche Foster: Jax's nephew and student.
General History- While Jax had a tendency to get into fights more than his parents would have liked there was always a good reason for it. As such they eventually decided to let him learn boxing, in hopes the discipline would get him to stop picking fights. It didn't really take but his reputation had the same effect eventually.
At first he was planning to become a pro boxer until he heard about Blacklist Hunters, seeing as it a good fit for him due to his tendency to fight bullies and his own fighting skills he took his first hunters exam when he was 18 and failed because while his fighting skills and stamina were good enough hehe knew about wilderness survival.
Originally he wanted to just take a year to fix that by studying books on planta and camping out in the open but his plans were derailed due to the birth of Pasche and he stuck around to help his sister and her husband with minor stuff. By the time he was 21 he tried again and passed. His first jobs were rather uneventful but eventually he was initiated.
The first job Jax took after he learned Nen was the one where his hand got messed up. He was over confident as he went up against an Enhancer and ended up having his hand broken and getting captured. While he managed to escape after three days his target got away and his hand got damaged even more both due to lack of treatment and during the escape.
@vancexentan Sounds awesome! I agree on the lack of ways to make them elemental though. Any time you feel like filling his sheet out and submitting it I'd be happy to look it over.
@Octo I absolutely love this Hatsu you're crazy. And very accepted! I took some inspiration from crazy slots as well, but she's a heavy offensive character.
Sorry for the absence guys, my weekend was way super goddamn busy sadly. Working to get done what I can of the leader tonight before I gotta go to bed. I guess he'll be fully up later in the week. Also, how say we start next Tuesday?
I think Crazy Slots is ultimately a fascinating skeleton to work from, even though very few of the weapons and their functions were revealed. It gives you a good idea of what Nen is capable of in its more out-there forms.
@Octo I agree fully, and I personally really love the way the ability came about for the character that uses it. I need to shell out my last two very quickly so we can get the IC up.
@Duthguy I don't quite get why his ability is both an arm, and multiple different types of emitted bullets. They're quite unrelated and I just don't really understand how they came about. The sheet seems kind of lazy, and it's not proofread. If it's supposed to be completely done I'd honestly have to tell you to put some more work into it. It's an NPC sheet, but still.
Anyways guys, I love this group that's coming together and can't wait to get things started! As a little note though uh, I kind of like quit my job and am starting something new, so I do apologize for the lack of presence on here. I'm doing my best and am fully committed to this project and the group. I may not get the time that you guys deserve all the time, but I am not going to give up and will always continue to push forward. If you guys stick around I promise there will be more coming from this until we run ourselves dry. If the timeline doesn't move quite at the pace we'd all like, I do truly apologize but I just want this to run well, I hate rushing the art of these things, especially with such a lovely group of people.
Also to everyone, I updated Byakko's history a little. Also, trying to decide what I want to reveal on King's Nen ability. The leader should be posted today though!
@ZxyxZemon I added a bit to the Nen part of the sheet. I can add more but was just a bit confused on what exactly you wanted so if you wouldn't mind looking it over and just telling me if that's what you meant?
So I started my new job yesterday, I'm working from 5 PM to 1 AM now, so I've had a lot more time to write and will have more time to dedicate to this RP. I'm going to start the opening post for the IC. King was at a place to post yesterday but I decided to do more with his Nen. We were supposed to start today, will probably be tomorrow. Hope that's alright, and I appreciate you guys sticking around! I promise this will be an adventure. I've got an antagonist group lined up, and what I hope to be a fun and cool first main enemy to chase after as well. King, the leader, will also be asking in character what everyone would be interested in doing while he pursues his own goal on the side, with the help of everyone of course. I'm really looking forward to how this is all going to turn out! I hope everyone is still as excited as me, and I go apologize for lag. I didn't expect to be starting two different jobs within the span of a few weeks and life has been crazy trying to figure out how to try and go to school and shit as well, life is a bitch you guys fr. I miss being a goddamn 12 year old going through everything for the first time tbsh. But like damn those were some shit times too. Idk >.> Imma shut my ass up, but
My job is pretty hectic, so I don't think I would have been able to post today anyways.
I'm usually swamped during weekdays, so unless I get a break period, I'll primarily be a weekend poster.
As for a Discord, I approve. It's the quickest way for us to keep in touch and keep everyone updated with what's going on, like if we can't post or need to quickly address any other matters.
@ZxyxZemonIf you want to make a discord you can but I won't join it. I've been on this site, and the former site for about ten years or more. And I've completed 2 roleplays in that time. I don't want to sound like a ass but my opinion is that if an rp doesn't go well a Discord is just another thing to 'leave'.
I agree with @vancexentan on this one. I might stop in and join but I tend to fade away in Discord groups anyway. I’m a fan of the bonding a good to can create but discord isn’t my cup of tea
@Aeolian Cheers & Comraderies! I appreciate it, and don't worry about the weekend posting thing, totally fine. I'm really hopeful that this space can be as understanding and inclusive for everyone as possible.
@vancexentan I understand completely. I believe I first stepped on this site around six years ago myself, and I don't believe I've ever actually gotten to a "complete" stage of a large group RP here. My numbers with 1x1 or say groups of three people are pretty decent but I credit that to just communication, which is what the primary goal of establishment really was. I get what you and @Renny are saying though for sure.
Wel, I guess that's why I asked about the Discord though huh? Haha, I might still decide to make one for the people that would wanna pop in. I guess we'll see.
