I agree, I definitely hand-waved the accident. Frankly, there weren't many reasonable ways I could think of to have a character I wanted at the age I wanted without either a baptism that was mostly harmless, all things considered, or was a genius who rivaled Gon/Killua and that just seemed unlikely to me shrugs shoulders So I went that route. If the baptism bothers you I can alter the situation some. Change ages and whatnot. I kind of like the baptism part, but thereare more realistic routes I can take if you'd like?


Baptism is fine. Tweak the incident a bit. Perhaps one of them saved her and introduced her to the mafia and Nen. The baptism could have occurred after her induction into the mafia.

<Snipped quote by Renny>

Nen Attacks
  • The Magician -- Transmuter -- With this card, Sora is about to transmute her Nen to make it one of the four core elements: air, water, earth, or fire. She can only use one element at a time. If she wants to change the element she would have to remove the cards effect and wait the allotted time before she can use the card again. She did a vary similar training that Killua had to do: she stood in front of a blowtorches, sat under waterfalls, touch and had rocks of of all kids thrown at her, and withstood tornadoes with her nen activated to avoid any real harm to herself. She made her body and nen experience the elements in some of their harshest forms, and it took roughly two months for her get a good grasp on this card.
  • Judgement -- Not Sure what type this would be; maybe Conjurer? -- This card is a lot like Kurapika's Dowsing chain. Placing the card on a person, Sora will ask a yes or no question. If said person speaks the truth, nothing will happen. If the person lies, the card will force said person into Zetsu before sending a blast of Nen upon where Sora places the card; casting judgement. Sora learned how to do this, via tests on those that taught her nen. (This one is still super iffy as I'm still thinking on how would be able to train this skill without hurting someone.)
  • Strength -- Enhancer -- As you can probably guess, this card strengthens whatever the card is placed upon. In order to get a good grasp of this card, Sora had to train enhancing and strengthening her aura around herself and other objects automatically. Everywhere she went, she unconscious enveloped whatever she was touching with her enhanced nen until it became second nature.


I would say the one who hinted Sora on Nen would be one of the test-takers (like Hisoka and Illumi) that befriended her on her final attempt of the exam. How does that sound?

Okay, I edit in her age one everything else is situated. I'll probably make her 13-15 years old. Haven't decided on a number yet since I'll have to change the past a little bit.

Oh okay, lol.


  • The Magician - You're overestimating Sora's memory capacity and underestimating just how grounded in realism Togashi's exaggerations are. Nen is a powerful force but in order to perform feats with fire, air, water, and earth you would have to learn those elements intimately. (Think of Kurapika's training with his chains). Heres the perfect example of this. Killua was born into a place where shock torture was far-too common, he spent years going through this. Sora wouldn't be capable of learning those four elements enough to cast them as a Transmuter, not at the ages of 13 - 15 and not without injuring herself severely (She's be far more disfigured than she is unless she found someone to heal her). If she was to go the route of Conjuration she would need rules and at max (which I doubt she'd obtain mastery) would be 80% effective. I believe this Nen ability alone would have filled her memory capacity.
    • Judgement is Conjuration at its best (100%). At most you'd be able to obtain 80% effectiveness. To force someone into Zetsu would require the power of Vows and Limitations on top of a mastery of said technique.
    • Strength seems like Ren and Ryu working in tandem. Its more like you're a Specialist then a Transmuter. However, you'd need to impose the harshest of punishments if you wanted all of these abilities to pass through the way they are. IE. Every second Kurapika uses Emperor Time is an hour off his life.
  • I'm down with that. However, unless he/she initiated Sora through baptism, it would take months of slow and steady training to open her aura nodes.
  • She's far too young to have mastered such a diverse array of Nen abilities.
  • I'm def not trying to be a hardass. But it just seems unlikely that she'd have accomplished all this. A lot of this could be explained by making her a Conjurer, creating rules and restrictions (vows and limitations), and possibly making her a Specialist. Along with expanding/tweaking her backstory a bit.





@Eis@OneStoryToMany@LemonZest1337@Tenma Tendo@Demous

(I have made a change to the CS. A stat system similar to the one on the The Wikia. Look up any relevant character, scroll to the bottom of their respective page, and I'm sure you'll find a set of stats for them similar to the layout I've provided. This is not precise, its more of an overview. A measure of who might be stronger or not.)
@Renny Here's what I have that might remedy the problems you had with my cs. Hope this makes things better?

First point: In terms of her nen ability, I could always restrict it to three or four tarot cards at first, and then slowly expand her arsenal to just the major arcana? Not only would she have to train herself to transmute her nen correctly (similarly to Killua who had to electrocute himself), she would also need to research the tarot card she's trying to emulate?
In terms of the Hunter Exam, would it be possible to say that she failed the exam multiple times (maybe four or five times) before finally passing? That way, I could say that she built up strength and power from the exams and that's why she's as strong as she is now? And when she finally passes, it's more like she did average/below average in all the phases? Or would that idea not be a good idea?

I kinda want to put her around Kurapika's level more so than Gon/Killua.

Second point: I made the age unknown because she wouldn't technically know how old she is, but I could always put one if it's helpful? ^^

Third point: You put a negative symbol, but said that the Nen ability and personality are fitting? I'm not sure what to take from that?


Response to your fix
  • Give me three Nen attacks that would come from Sora's Nen ability, what type of aura do they use, and the training she went through to emulate said effect. As for the Hunter Exam, yes (3 attempts is good enough). Also who hinted Sora towards nen? as I see that being the only way she could have accessed it without knowledge beforehand.
  • I needs her age lol. It would be a major help in solidifying my rulings.
  • lol mistype. I apologize for the confusion.o


Alright so this is how I'll do this; I'm going to hit you with a list. Beside each bullet with be (+) or (-); positive or negative. I'm not one for going into details, especially when it comes to someone else's character sheet. I find it hindering to the creative process. The only time I'll go into detail is if there is something I have an absolute problem with. So let's begin.

@OneStoryToMany
  • (+) I like the profile overall. You're definitely in the acceptable range.
  • (+) Your Nen ability is simple but powerful. Makes sense for an Enhancer.
  • (-) Birdy's baptism by Nen is a tad iffy to me. I'm willing to let it slide, why not. Hunters are extremely rare. I think it was mentioned that out of all of its population there were only 661. Nen Users are around the same, maybe more, it would rare for them to know the truth of the concept. If not Hunters or Masters in their own right I think her skill would be greatly diminished. I'm skeptical of her being hit by a Nen User in the mafia and surviving at all, unless she was amongst a battle involving weak Mafiosos. Seems more likely. Very, very dangerous but plausible.


@LemonZest1337
  • (+) The safe route is never a bad route. Your personality and aura type is perfect matches. Nen ability is simple but cool.
  • (-) I can tell you allowed your preferences to shape your character instead of the world. This is not a score against you, promise, just something I noticed.
  • (-) Which leads me to my final negative. The incident where she fell into the toxic pit. That would def do more harm then good in this universe. It would be more acceptable if she had been born with some genetic mutation. Also go into detail about how fast and strong she is, as well as her healing factor. We spoke about this over discord. (Did you know there is a mutation that makes people grow indefinitely ;)


@Tenma Tendo
  • (-) I need you to go into details about Sora's Nen abilities. I understand the Tarot Cards but just how advance is she in Nen? She would have to be far more talented than Gon and Killua and they were 1 and 10,000,000. You could go the route of having three, perhaps four abilities with your Tarot Cards but I don't think she'd be good at much else. In considering this criticism, think about the match between Hisoka and Kastro. Her training to take the Hunter Exam couldn't be that extreme, not enough for her to pass it with flying colors. Hmm? I'm not sure how to handle this but I'm on the verge of saying she failed. She'll need more meat and skill if she wants to pass as she currently is. The Hunter Exam is yearly, do debate me if you believe she could have obtained the strength in that timespan.
  • Also I need to know her age. Its not something you can keep hidden when it comes to this game. Mostly because I need to compare her years, talents, natural abilities, and Nen potential to her age. Its kind of a game of assumption.
  • (+) Nen Ability and Personality is fitting.


At most I'll be accepting talents on par with Gon and Killua.
@OneStoryToMany Sorry to disappoint but its not going to be an all girl cast lol.
So I’m going to be dropping some concerns on the apps when I get home today. Be ready for some changes. Also, I’d recommend attempting to make your character as strong as you’d like before I do so. Once you’re accepted you will only become stronger through experience and lessons
@OneStoryToMany Haven't look at the sheet yet. Will be doing that soon. First thing I noticed though is the real life picture. I would like for them to be anime or manga pictures only. If you're going to be using any.
I didn't even see Crimson's post till now lol. I'm an idiot. @AcetheKidd I'll get a post out for you tomorrow.
The OOC is up. Check it out, drop those apps, and WOW yourselves.

Also, I work tomorrow so I might not check these till later in the afternoon.

@OneStoryToMany@LemonZest1337@Demous@Tenma Tendo (forgot to mention you guys)










Here is a map to the World of Hunter x Hunter. The link provided shoots you to a more in-depth inspection of those countries. There are a few places not marked on there; our Meteor City is one of them. When creating your characters, use this link wisely to craft the convincing lives of our stars.




The Hunter Association is the non-government organization that provides license and testing for Hunters. Hunters are individuals with unique traits or elite examples of humanity. I'm sure you understand the complexity of the selection process: The Hunter Exams. If you're interested in joining this RP and don't understand then I suggest you prepare to do a lot of reading :D

Nen or Mind Force is the source of a individual's preternatural abilities. There is a lot of information that goes with Togashi's concept of aura. I will do my best to get to the meat of it all. A person who utilizes Nen is referred to a Nen User. Typically, one who learns Nen on their own would never obtain the level of one taught by a master of said art. The easiest way to obtain the truth of Nen is going through the rigorous Hunter Exam. Learning Nen the correct way is the final part of said exam. Aura and its typing are paramount when learning Nen. There are six types:

  • Enhancer
  • Transmuter
  • Conjurer
  • Emitter
  • Manipulator
  • Specialist


Be sure to read up on your Nen type as you're developing your character. Other sources of power includes On and Nen Beasts. These two are rather difficult to acquire and easily OP. However if you manage to make sense as to why or how you would have such powers I will allow them.








  • GM is law
  • Be respectful to each other
  • No Godmodding, Metagaming, Bunnying, etc
  • All other RPG forum rules apply
  • If you do not post within a solid week without cause or explanation, I will kill you off and open your spot.
  • Bare with me, criticism is welcomed.
  • Hunter x Hunter Wikia is your best friend here. I simply can't explain all the nuances of Togashi's work.
  • Let's have a blast RPing in this wonderful universe.
  • I would appreciate it if we kept to anime/mange esque images for pictures.
@OneStoryToMany I said potential players in my earlier post.

I'm striving to make this fair, so once I have the OOC up, throw a sheet out anyway and you may be picked instead of one of the others.
