[OOC] Hunter X Hunter: Into The Dark Continent

[racoonman]

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!

Lev Oborin CS

Name: Lev Oborin

Gender: Male

Age: 29

Appearance:

Hunter Type: Specimen Hunter

Nen Type: Manipulation

Nen abilities:
1. Instant Incision: Lev declares an organ. The possessor of this organ instantly gains knowledge of it's location on their body. Lev will then have 10 seconds to touch within an inch of the targeted organ with his scalpel blade. If these conditions are me then the organ is removed from the target and added to Lev's specimen cabinet. Lev may declare an organ as often as he wants however he may not cancel a target until the 10 seconds have elapsed and he can not target the same organ twice in a row.
2. Red Raw: Lev may have up to 10 organs in his specimen cabinet. Lev selects an organ from his specimen cabinet. The organ is then consumed (destroying it), and takes 30 minutes to digest. After the 30 minutes have elapsed Lev may either completely heal one of his own organs per specimen digested, or he can choose to massively increase his speed and power for half an hour. Lev may digest two organs at a time, however the speed and power boost can not be stacked.

Personality: Lev is easily bored, and extremely scatterbrained. He enjoys meeting new people however usually quickly becomes bored of most people. This is reflected in his speach, he quickly flits between one topic and another, usually without explanation. He talks and moves quickly as if coursing with a certain vital energy. He has the mind of a researcher and disregards emotions compared to facts in all most any situation, and is always the first to advocate utilitarianism. His overactive mind also leads to him being paranoid, and prone to over analysis of almost any situation.

History: Lev is the only son of two reclusive scientists. He felt trapped in the same place growing up and worked determinedly to develop the skills to explore new and dangerous places, convinced if he could only become smarter and stronger his parents would allow him to venture out into the unknown. However nothing changed and as he exhausted every page of every chapter of every book in their house, he felt as if he was going mad, so he just decided to let go and leave it all behind. Leaving his parents one day he set off to make his way. He traveled widely and quickly, his hunger for adventure proving absolutely insatiable. In order to gain access to restricted areas Lev trained and researched nen, passing it on his first attempt. Since then he has become the premier specimen hunter, able to perform vivisections of any targets using his abilities.

[BoundToPlay]

Ivy K Raven

Name: Ivy Katrina Raven

Gender: Female

Age: 28

Appearance:
Ivy's body is covered with tattoos. Well it would be more accurate to say two large tattoos. 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. The rest of her body is presumable covered in that tattoos.

Hunter Type: She refers to herself as a battle hunter, one who's goal is to find and defeat worthy foes and overcome great challenges. Despite that she is widely thought of as a criminal hunter as her quest for combat often has her beating down wanted, violent criminals. It is not a bad way to pay the bills after all.

Nen Type: Emission

Nen abilities: Bitter Unkindness: Ivy can create up to 8 Nen-constructs in the form of large black birds. Primary detail and restrictions of Bitter unkindness are as such: Each one comes from one of the tattoo's on her right arm. She can make no more than 8 at a time or in a row, and after one is 'used' in one of several fashions it 'returns' to her arm and can't be used again until all the others have been returned as well. This of it as a gun with 8 shots that can only be reloaded once all shots are fired. The reloading time for BU is two minutes even, she can shorten it to a single minute if allowed to stay still and focused solely on it.

Each construct she makes resemble ravens but is roughly the size of a hawk. She can manipulate them individually, though when she has all 8 out and active she must stand perfectly still to move them with any decent level of speed or precision. They are very solid, their wings are able to cut like a razor and their bodies can pierce through stone. They are, at the end of the day, a form of pricing projectile attack. She can fright with then in a couple of different ways. Once they hit a target or are struck with significant force they dissipate and return to her tattoo to await the reloading processes.

'Chambered mode' is rather obvious. The nen focuses about her arm and a pair of 8 small ethereal wings appear along it. At this point all 8 constructs are armed and ready to fire. In this mode she can only fire them in a straight line from her open palm. this is when her Ravens are at their fastest and her arm is basically an 8 shot cannon.

'Flight Mode' she summons the construct fully formed, 1 to 8 at a time. The overall speed with which they can move depends on the number she is summoning. after 4 her own speed and mobility will become effected. At 8 she has to remain more or less still as she controls them. In this form they have the widest mobility and versatility, able to be used as shields, decoys, or unpredictable attacks. They can even perform simple tasks as well. such as searching for things or guarding a location.

'Sky Boss' Only available to her if she has not used a single one of her shots and using it will result the consumption of most of her power. She uses the energy of all 8 shots to make a single construct roughly the size of her. She can have it fight for her, it able to do the most amount of damage compared to all 8 of her birds combined. It can actually engage in proper combat rather than deadly kamikaze's like her normal construct, but it's kamikaze is bar far the most deadly move she has. Alternatively she can hop on it's back for travel or to flee. either way, after about an hour or after it has been 'used' it'll dissipate and she'll only have enough nen for about 2 rounds of 8 and if skyboss wasn't enough to end the fight than theirs a good chance that the remaining rounds won't do her much good. Given that choice, fight or flight, This is an all or nothing move,

Personality: Ivy is rough around the edges to say the least. Hot blooded and hard headed, the key word anyone would use to describe the young woman would be aggressive. She has more courage than common sense. That's not to say that Ivy dumb, she just prefers to listen to her gut and her hot temper more than her brain. The only things she values as much as her quest for glorious battle is loyalty and respect. Cross either of the latter two and you'll likely find yourself engaged in the former.

History: Ivy is the only child of a influential mob don in a collection of mafia families known as the 'Chimera Alliance'. They are named such because each of the Dons has taken some manner of creature as their last name. An old, large, and powerful group of crime lords, Ivy was slated and trained to one day take her father's place as a don. Though the older she grew the more she was sure that wasn't the path she wished for herself.

What she truly loved was combat, her favorite activities were the fighting lessons she had and better yet, employing those techniques on worthy foes. Eventually this drive for combat lead her to leave the family and peruse the path of a Hunter. Took her a few tries to make the pass, but she managed by the time she was 18. While her father washed his hands of the business and began grooming another successor, the other members of the Chimera Alliance didn't like that the daughter of a Don had 'cut ties' with the family. While she did her best to make it clear she had no intense of every attacking or betraying her family or the Alliance as a whole, Dons tend to be suspicious and careful of any and all potential threats.

It is not uncommon for them to commission assassins to attack her. She normally doesn't mind all that much; they often prove to be entertaining fights and when they hire someone outside of the family she'll turn them in for the bounty.

Mars

Name: Mars Mondelez

---

Gender: Disputed Male

---

Age: 26

---

Appearance:

---

Hunter Type: Treasure Hunter

---

Nen Type: Conjurer

---

Nen abilities: Heaven's Lost Marbles: Mars power is to conjure a gumball machine on a pole, which he wields as a weapon. It is plain metal for the most part, but the glass gumball part has a black jack-o-lantern face on it. To activate his ability, Mars must ask his opponent if they have a quarter after he’s summoned the gumball machine. If they do, and offer give one to Mars, they become immune to his ability for 24 hours. (The being hit by them resulting in a coin effect, not the marbles. Those still hurt like hell.) The If they say no, refuse to answer, or simply don’t have one on them, they become a target for Mars' ability, as its condition has been fulfilled. After that, whenever Mars is struck by the one he asked, a coin appears in his hand. The coin can either be silver or gold, which one it is being random, but more powerful attacks or attacks with more killing intent behind them have a higher chance of spawning a gold coin. Feeding a silver coin to the machine results in either a clear or light gray marble coming out. The clear marbles are stars and emit light when exposed to nen or hit by another marble. The gray marbles are satellites and can be affixed to a set point in relative space by adding nen to them. Feeding a gold coin to the machine can result in any one of nine different colored marbles: dark gray, yellow, green, reddish-brown, red, yellow with a black band, light blue, dark blue, or purple. Each marble is based on a planet and has a different effect when struck by another marble. Dark gray is Mercury, and it explodes violently when struck. Yellow is Venus, and it releases a plume of sleeping gas when struck (seems too strong, I'll think about something else). Green is Earth, which releases a pulse of healing when struck. The reddish-brown marble is Mars, and it releases a plume of red dust that blinds and chokes when it’s struck. Red is Jupiter, which becomes surrounded by a field of red lightning. The yellow marble with the black band around its middle is Saturn, and it releases a cutting shockwave when hit. The light blue marble is Uranus, which becomes highly magnetic when struck. The dark blue one is Neptune, which releases a flood of water in all directions. Purple, if you haven’t noticed the pattern by now, is Pluto, and when struck the area around the marble flash-freezes. There are two other marbles that are only dispensed when their unique coin is inserted into the machine. Putting in a white coin, which only appears when Mars is blinded by rage, results in a matching white marble. The white marble is the Sun, and its effect creates a miniature sun around itself that produces extreme heat and burns everything around it. A black coin appears when Mars is swallowed by crushing grief, and putting it into the machine results in a black marble. This marble represents a black hole, and when struck everything within five feet of the marble (the initial range of all of the planetary marbles) disappears in an instant. The black marble has a second effect when struck: it pulls everything nearby towards it. Because the initial destroying effect happens so fast, only things within its range before it is struck are destroyed, and the pull happens in the instant following the destruction effect. Because the effect activates upon being struck, it scales with the enemy’s power level, becoming incredibly powerful against strong opponents that are able to land many blows on Mars’ body, and being completely useless against weak opponents who he would rather just beat over the head with the conjured gumball machine. All of the marbles are weightless and simply float in space, easily moved when touched or struck with another marble. A marble’s effect activates the instant it is struck by another marble, meaning it happens and then the marble moves as a result of being hit. In the case of Jupiter and Uranus, their effects continue for a few seconds after being struck, making them the only marbles that can be active and moving. In the case of the Sun and the black hole, the Sun is moved by satellite marbles and activated by star marbles, and the black hole is moved by star marbles and activated by satellite marbles. These two marbles stop moving the instant they are activated, and the marble used to activate them is destroyed. Marbles can be dismissed at any time, but they can only be used again if dispensed randomly from the gumball machine. Only one of each of the planetary marbles can exist at a time, but there is no limit to the number of star or satellite marbles in play (besides the user’s nen). The actual effects of the marbles are a combination of conjuration and transmutation, with some enhancement for a few of them.

---

Personality: The most happy-go-lucky psychopath you’ve ever met. Mars’ response to anything and everything is a fiendish grin, and telling his innocent fiendish grin from his murderous fiendish grin is near-impossible. He loves sweets, and always has something sugary on him at any given time. His favorite candy is gum balls, which he eats like, well, candy. He loves gumballs so much that his nen ability takes the appearance of a gumball dispenser. Don’t get between Mars and his sweets: he will kill you. Did I mention he’s a little crazy? He never takes anything seriously and finds amusement in the strangest things. Even in life-or-death situations or when he’s getting his ass handed to him.

---

History: The psychopathic son of aristocrats, disowned and thrown out for his disturbing and cruel tendencies. His parents later took him back after finding that he had not only survived, but now controlled much of the city’s minor criminals and had built up a fortune for himself through them. Muggings, thefts, extortion, blackmail, murders, torture, more than a few assassinations, if it went down, he had a part in orchestrating it. As soon as he was reinstated to inherit his parent’s wealth upon their passing, they both died quite suddenly. Truly a tragedy.

Mars learned of nen after he sent some unimportant thugs out after some guy’s head. He saw the man disarm his three attackers without touching them at all, and then the man knocked out each one with barely a lift of his finger. So what did Mars do then? He walked right up to the man and asked him how he had beaten up his men. Mars isn’t one to beat around the bush, and he’s never been afraid of those stronger than himself. Casually slipping in the fact that you sent thugs to kill someone tends not to go over well, and in this case the man threw Mars through a wall and over a couple of buildings, again with barely a lift of his finger.

Mars began showing signs of nen as soon as he woke, using his strange new powers to force his way out of the hospital he was being kept in. Sensing something fun and new in the world, Mars disbanded his rabble of miscreants, making more than a few that questioned the decision simply vanish in the night, and began searching out more people with the strange power.

His search eventually led him to learning all about hunters, and he easily passed the Hunter Exam on his first attempt due to already having rudimentary nen abilities. Mars has been all around the world since then, going from place to place on a whim as he searches the world for “things he likes”. This usually amounts to sweets or treasures. Mars’ definition of treasure is quite broad, literally being anything he finds interesting, entertaining, or pretty. He once abducted a princess because she had beautiful hair, and another time he stole a horse because he thought he would look magnificent riding one. He still has an ugly brown pot in his home apartment that he took from some ancient ruins a few years back because he can’t figure out if it was used as a toilet or to store food in. The second he learns which, he will immediately stop caring about the thing and probably break it, but until then it fits into his whimsical definition of being a treasure. More ancient ruins have been destroyed, and recent ruins created, by Mars in his pursuit of treasure than most Treasure Hunters see in their lifetime. Despite being a Treasure Hunter, Mars rarely accomplishes anything without an unnecessary amount of bloodshed.

TL;DR

Questionably-well-dressed sweet-toothed psychopath wielding candy-dispensing bludgeon-stick who enjoys playing with small balls and making things go boom wants you to get into his van.

[Theobromine]

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. ^^;

[racoonman]

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!

[Theobromine]

@racoonman: Hahaha, thank you! I'll try to have it up by the end of the day.

[IVIasterJay]

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.

[Theobromine]

Nera Thyne CS

Name: Nera Thyne

Gender: Female

Age: 27

Appearance:


Hunter Type: Herb Hunter (Hunter that specializes in discovering rare plants and finding uses for them in cooking, medicine, perfume, etc…)

Nen Type: Transmutation

Nen abilities: Fundamentally, Nera’s ability is to mimics the properties of water with her nen. Using ten or ken, she can safely ‘shroud’ herself in her unique aura with any of the properties from her abilities below. As a transmuter she is not very proficient in emission of her nen, therefore most of her abilities are utilized in close-quarters but they can be used from afar (although her abilities become 1/5 of their usual potency).

Water Cauldron – Her nen reaches extremely high temperatures capable of burning matter on contact, or dissolving them if Nera keeps the heat under control (water-soluble substances like salt or sugar would dissolve instantly, but normally non-soluble items would take a MINIMUM of 30 minutes to dissolve in her nen). Note that ‘dissolving’ is not the same as making things ‘disintegrate’. If she dissolves a poisonous substance into her nen in this state, her nen obtains the same effect and level of toxicity as the substance dissolved inside.
ADDED: Temperatures can reach the same amount as most bunsen burners. It takes time to reach very high temperatures, so Nera generally only goes up to about 212 degrees F or 100 degress C in combat (reaching this temperature is quite easy).

Pet Bubble – Her nen takes on the shape of bubbles (empty nen spheres), which can range from one gigantic bubble the size of an elevator to many smaller bubbles the size of coins. The smaller the bubbles are, the harder they get until they reach the same hardness as a block of ice. The larger the bubbles are, they become so ‘soft’ that the slightest touch will break it, although objects with the same nen (Nera’s nen) may be able to pass through in or out of the bubble. Popping a bubble will make Nera’s nen burst in all directions. Medium-sized bubbles between the two extremes will be a bouncy and require some force to break. Remember that nen in itself can cause physical damage, so popping a particularly large bubble by touching it is not recommended. Small bubbles can be formed almost instantly, but large bubbles will need time to inflate.

Universal Solvent – Nera can use her nen to weaken and ‘wash away’ impurities such as dirt, germs, stains, or even nen (making it a weak exorcism ability). She must make direct contact with her nen for this ability, meaning any nen inside of a person’s body cannot be removed, and nen abilities left from self-inflicted contracts & limitations or the dead are beyond her abilities. Feels nice and cool to the touch.

Personality: Very true to her emotions, Nera laughs when she’s having fun and throws a fit when she gets angry. Sometimes people mistake this as her being a very straight-forward and honest person but… Don’t be fooled. She loves playing games with people and this can range from something literal like a game of cards, teasing people for the laughs, to causing major trouble for them just to see how they would react. The only real predictable nature about her is her love for exciting and interesting things. Her own safety is secondary when she has the opportunity to jump into the midst of action and get to play a role in it.

History: Both of Nera’s parents were highly respected surgeons that earned enough for their family to be considered very financially well-off. She has an older brother that has followed in their steps to join them in the field of medicine. However, Nera chose to pursue a life as a Hunter instead. There was one major reason why she did not follow the family trade: her grades were just not good enough to get her into medical school. But even from the very beginning there was something different about Nera. Unlike the rest of her family, she loved exploring into the unknown (often getting lost in the process) and enjoyed keeping herself active instead of devoting herself to a desk to study.

Her interest in nen and becoming a Hunter all began with a strange argument at the hospital. Around the age of 14, she was visiting her parents at the hospital when she heard her father arguing with one of the patients. It was a man that had been recently admitted after a drunken brawl on the streets. With several of his bones fractured and recovering from surgery, his expected discharge seemed so far off that the doctors hadn’t even thought to consider when it would be but the man claimed to be completely fine after a night’s rest and was demanding to be released from the hospital. In the end it was proven that the man’s injuries were indeed healed and he left the hospital after much argument and testing of his physical health. The man quickly realized that he had one extra accompaniment following closely at his heels: Nera. She wanted to know how he healed so quickly and wanted to know if she could get a superhuman body like that too. At first the man tried to dismiss her and send her off on her way, ignoring her and continuing on his way as he expected her to grow bored and leave. But it became increasingly clear that Nera had no intentions of giving up. In fact, she followed this stranger all to the way to his home and told him that at this rate it would seem like he got into an argument with one of the doctors at the hospital and kidnapped his daughter as revenge for all the trouble.

He gave her a bunch of fake methods to get a fast-regenerating body hoping it would make her go away, but she returned several weeks afterwards to complain that his methods had not worked. This sort of exchange occurred several times between them. Tired of it all and worried that at this rate she was going to try something stupid on her own, he ended up becoming her teacher and slowly taught her the ways of nen over a period of 8 months. After that, she began to practice nen on her own. To her dismay, she was not an enhancer type and could not easily gain the same sort of regeneration ability as her teacher but she learned to think about her own category and use a nen ability more suited to herself. Soon Nera wanted to test her capabilities, but by then she had lost all contact with her teacher and didn’t know how she would know how far along she was now. Then she remembered that her teacher was an amateur Hunter (he knew nen and took on Hunter-like jobs but did not have a license). Deciding that obtaining the license her teacher would be sufficient enough to assume she had surpassed her teacher, she applied for her first hunter exam at the age of 16. It took her 2 more tries and finally obtained her license at 18 years of age (nen aside, her physical capabilities and combat experience had not been up to par).

As a professional Hunter, she ended up finding her passion with rare plants. She loved discovering them, finding out what sort of properties they had, and experimenting their various uses. Though she spends quite a bit of her time travelling to find these plants, she also owns a small shop to sell rare herbs and her own concoctions made from them. By coincidence rumors about her being a witch began to be passed around among her neighbours, and Nera embraced this label with pure enjoyment. She began dressing up like a witch, got a pet cat (with black fur of course), and even began to decorate her workshop appropriately. While to the general public she seems like a strange deviant with oddly effective home remedies and other goods, people of the same profession know she is also a Hunter with plenty of rare goods and skills to offer in service for those that know about and desire them.

[OtomostheCrazy]

Working ob mine. Should be done sometime tomorrow

[racoonman]

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?

[Ljett]

Marko

Name: Marko
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Appearance:

Hunter Type: Information Hunter
Nen Type: Manipulation
Nen abilities:

Nano Swarm: Marko releases tiny robotic nano bugs, these bugs are controlled by nen and can hack into computers, attack enemies weak points, or deliver messages/tiny bombs.

Power Surge: Using his nen he supercharges his robotic arms, and gets a massively increased movement and reactions, and with his already above average strength, can be a deadly combo. Once used it lasts for 5-10 mins, and when done, makes him very weak and he needs to eat a lot for all the energy used.

Code Command: Record: When ever this ability is activated, he can record any fighting style, and use it later. He has stored basic material arts, up to a master degree. He can switch styles immediately, and even mix them together (By custom coding)

Personality: Marko is a very smart and reserved person, only speaking when needing to, but is always taking in information, and storing it away for later use. He has a photographic memory, so he can recall a vast amount of information. When killing, he has no emotion and will do anything to protect himself/his info.

History: Marko is from MeteorCity. When he was only 3 years old, his parents died and his arms had to be amputated. Luckily he was given robotic arms that are controlled by him. He was raised his uncle, a famous mob hacker/phantom troupe informant, and was taught how to hack technology and computers from a young age. when he turned 18, he was sent by his uncle to be an outside informant. He met up with troupe other troupee members, who taught him nen he then worked for them for a couple years, and on his 21 birthday was given permission to become a hunter, to work on his on career as an information broker.

He passed the hunter examine very easily because of his use of nen, and quickly became known for his quality information. He travels the world gathering info through espionage and stealing secrets. Marko has been in very tight situations, and has adapted his nen techniques to become more combat oriented, and can be very hard to fight.

[Theobromine]

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?

[racoonman]

@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.

[Theobromine]

racoonman said @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!

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.

[racoonman]

Good work, sorry for being paranoid haha. Damn there goes my main antagonist, the deadly paper statues!

[OtomostheCrazy]

(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?

[OtomostheCrazy]

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?
