Hunter x Hunter RPG: Sign-up & Discussion

[Tame]

Hi all. For a while now I've been planning an HxH RPG here, and I've finally got round to doing it (I said I'd do it a couple of weeks ago, but then I went on holiday, and then had an exam, and my computer broke...)!

The RPG will involve new central characters created by the players, (with me playing antagonists, supporting characters and other non-player characters), and new story arcs. I have several hunts in mind, but I want the players to shape the story as much as I do, so I'm all up for suggestions from you guys.

This is how I plan things to go:

-There'll be 3-6 players (ideally 4 or 5). Preferably at least 4, and any more than 6 would get too hard to keep track of.
-I'll play GM; the players each post what their character does, thinks, says and/or feels (not in static sentences like "X goes to the well and drinks the water", but giving full descriptions, more as if it were a paragraph in a fan-fiction).
-After everyone's posted, or after they've been given a reasonable amount of time to post, I'll post a round-up.
-This round-up will include how the characters' actions resolve themselves, and how the NPCs act.

For example, say one PC attacks an NPC, with the player describing the attack. In my round-up I'll describe how that NPC reacts (eg. they may dodge and counterattack, or they may be knocked to the ground etc.), other NPCs' reactions to the attack etc.

(I may also include scenes of characters that are away from the PCs, in order to increase tension or put some foreshadowing in. For example, I may include a scene of the villains plotting their dastardly deeds.)

This means that whether a PC's actions are successful depend on whether I deem it them realistic given the context of the story, the fight, and/or their given strengths and weaknesses. If a player disagrees with my decision they'll be allowed to debate the point with me, and in the case of an action failing, I will always explain my decision.

In general actions will succeed unless:
a) it is part of a fight. Then people's attacks might be blocked or avoided; in exciting fights the good guys' attacks don't always succeed.
b) the action fall into the realms of god-modding; things that are deemed unrealistic won't succeed. Things like "X jumped a mile in the air and fired off a thousand huge balls of nen at their opponent" that are obviously beyond the strength of the character.

If one player continually tries to make their character much stronger than the rest, or continually tries to have them doing ludicrous things, then that player will be punished. I may ask them to leave, or something bad might happen to their character (at worse, death).

I've GMed RPGs like this before and I think that I'm competent and fair enough to judge this one fairly, though everyone's going to have to trust me on that one. :P

Rules:

Here's where I feel I sound like a douchebag.

1) No god-modding. This is pretty much a given. It includes controlling characters beyond your own character without permission and performing over-powered or unrealistic actions. As I said before, repeat offenders will be punished. If I believe you've made an honest mistake then that's ok, but I'll point it out so that you're less likely to make it again. This is most likely to happen towards the start of the RPG, as there will be a learning curve for us all.
2) Be literate. This means using full and clear sentences when posting. Typos and mistakes in grammar and spelling are fine provided it's clear what you're trying to say, but please do your best.
3) No one-line posts. This rule is somewhat fluid; often in RPGs of this kind the GM asks for a minimum amount of text per post (often one or two medium-length paragraphs). However, having played them myself I realise that it sometimes makes no sense to post two paragraphs at a time, for example when having a conversation with another character, or when in the middle of a fight; in these circumstances you are often only performing one action that takes up only a few seconds of in-game time, and it can be needless to post huge amounts of text explaining the characters exact thoughts just for the sake of a word count. Therefore, while there is no minimum amount of text per post, I'll only ask that you don't make posts that add nothing. Any post should include either the character's thoughts (which flesh out personality) or an action (which affects plot). Posts like "Jimmy-Jimmy stood there and waited," add nothing. Posts which explain why Jimmy-Jimmy stood there instead of taking action add something.
4) All characters must be approved by the GM.
5) I reserve the right to alter these rules (ie. if I've forgotten any).
6) I reserve the right to refuse character applications.

Character Sheets:

One character each for now please. Only use original characters (Gon, Killua and co. will not be appearing in this RPG).

Potential Hunts
Here are some prospective hunts that I have planned out to different degrees. If anyone has a favourite, or any ideas they'd like to see/do, then please say so. None of these hunts are compulsory; if the players want to do something completely sparate from them, then that's cool.

Bodyguard
Escort an eccentric billionairre across sea to his private state, and across its capital to his mansion. The team is led by the heads of the two families that have been guarding that of the billionairre for generations. Naturally assassins are targetting the man, though their motives and methods seem unorthodox.

Hostage Rescue
Recover a hostage their criminal captors. The hostage is a hunter who holds vital information regarding the location of an item deemed extremely valuable to the Hunter Association.

Explore the Depth Tower
A building buried deep underground has been recently discovered and named the Depth Tower. So far it's first twenty floors have been covered, and wondrous plants and treasures have been found. High concentrations of nen have been sensed from the other floors. Join the expedition to explore its vast and explansive depths.

Witness the Roc in Flight
The legenday Roc is said to wake once every 200 years. Its next flight is fast approaching. Race a team of poachers to its loaction, find it and record its flight, whilst protecting it from those poacher.

If anything's unclear, or if you have any other questions, please do ask. Equally, if I've forgotten anything important I'll add it later.

Above all I want this to be a fun game that stays true in spirit to Togashi's work. That means that you guys, the players, will have as much say in how the story shapes itself as I do - I don't want your characters to be merely pushed along by the plot I set out. I want them to have free will - if they want to chuck in a hunt halfway through and jump on an airship to wherever, then they're free to do so!!

Name: Dennis Galbuster
Age: 16
Gender: male
Height: 67 inches
Weight: 165 lbs
Hair Colour: Black
Eye Colour: Brown

Appearance: Has light brown skin with very short yet spikey hair, wears a blue jacket with a black shirt underneath jeans and sports Brown and black travel boots

Personality: A boy who simply wants to find an adventure in life and feels that being a hunter would help fulfill his desire. He’s something of a jokester and speaks sarcastically most of the time, causing people to sometimes wonder what he hell he’s actually thinking, but it is apparent he upholds a strong moral code about people he considers a friend of ally. despite that however he can sometimes come off as an ass if he does something that dosn't effect his code, which is one of the things people chatise him for.

Background/History: He grew up in a pretty poor and run down place, constantly labeled as living garbage by nobles and people who had money. The only joy he had was a little girl his age who was a close friend of his and as he claimed was” too optimistic for her own good.” Turns out he wasn’t far from the truth, when they were 8 she childishly tried to help a injured wild animal in the rain. Not only did she get a cold, but the creature was carrying a disease that needed serious medical treatment for, which of course they had no money for so she was on a deathbed. Denis tired everything he could even stole medicine from a pharmacy, but it did little to no good. He would have been a depressed wreck, but his friend gave him her final words: “Denis, I had fun. Now I want you to promise me something ok? Promise you’ll have even more fun then I did!” When he agreed she smiled and passed. Denis snuck into libraries did research and found out about the hunter association and decided to join due to all of the perks. He waited until he was sure he could pass and left his home (by freeloading on a ship) and began his journey there to find something worth living for.

Primary Nen Type: Emission
Secondary Nen Type: Manipulator/transmuter

Weakest Advanced Nen Technique: en
Weapons: Hunter knife, used mostly for hunting wild animals though
Other Equipment and Personal Belongings: A backpack, slingshot, Hunter knife, utility muti tool, a locket with a picture of his deceased friend and her words to him.

Hatsu
Name: Bubble
Type(s): Emmision, Manipulation, transmuter
Details: He can create on of 3 types of ‘bubbles’ of aura.
1st : ‘shift bubble’ : Using both emission and manipulation types He creates a blue bubble that intraps a object and move it around the air. It can only levitate and carry inanimate objects; humans, animals and etc. are not affected. Restrictions have been placed to help enhance the use of the ability when called.
2nd : ‘Burst bubble’: creates a red bubble that deploys his nen energy one it is touched. Since this mostly uses emission he can create more than one, but no more than 10 due to the transmuter use of acting like a bubble. He can also control how powerful the blasts the bubble gives off are.
3rd : ‘Cushion bubble’: creates a bubble to save himself from any long falls or dangerous objects, once used however it instantly deflates thus ending the use.

Restrictions: Shift bubble can only effect inanimate objects, humans will not be effected. Only one bubble can be made and it can only hold one object. The object in question cannot supersede a large height or a enormous weight. Can only use 3 times in battle, usage doubles outside of battle. Boom bubble can only create up to ten bubbles at a time, the number shifts depending on the size or quantity of nen. Cusion bubble immediately enters a slow state of deactivation after use (like a air bag or something). No two types of bubbles can be out at the same time.

Commentary: On his nen abilities he has a good five years under his belt from training since he was ten, He's able to produce a hatsu but does believe he can imporve.

His shift bubble was the first techniqe he had in mind, but after developing it and placing the restrictions he did, he opted to keep it as a secret surpise techniqe. He can move the bubble for a great distance around him and it moves the fastest out of all his bubbles, also, if a person is holding onto a object, he can use it on that object and send the person flying as well.

His burst bubble is the second techniqe he came up with but uses this more frequently. The bubbles don't move as fast as the shift bubble, but he can still control their movements. He mostly uses this to trip up his target by having them be blown around the room and then strking with a pyhsical attack. If the opponent is strong, he starts trying to trick the opponent into popping a bubble capablie of giving injuries. another trick he does with this is if while he's in the air, he creates a few low level bubbles under him, and pops it with his feet allowing him to jump and move through the air. In fights he either, A. sets up a trap using the bubbles and then strikes once the opponent is both pysically and mentally strained, or B uses the bubbles in a manner where he makes one between him and the enemey and pops it himself causing the enemy to fly away or into a more powerful bubble.

His Cushion bubble was the last techniqe he came up with after trying to use burst bubble to save himself once and only getting even more hurt later. this is mostly used for saving himself or others falls, but in a unorthidox circumstance he can use it to block a psycical attack from his opponent, have them be tangled for a bit as its deflating and attack himself.

Gender: Male

Height: 5'7

Weight: 70kg

Appearance: An athletic body earn from years of martial arts and acrobatic training. Short hair and 5 o'clock shadow (unless he's recently shaved, then he looks 16). Usually wars a black tank top and tanned shorts with blue converse style shoes. He also wears a blue bandana. Because he's a Buddhist, he also wears a mala on his right wrist.

Personality: He's energetic and childish, usually quite cheerful. He's a game addict, no matter what kind of game, from sports to board games, and usually love to bet on them. He does have a more serious side, since he's a devoted Buddhist, he meditates and prays everyday. He's also a vegetarian, and overindulges himself with alcohol. He's also a bit of a perv, and usually dirty thoughts come to his mind. He's also a bit of a prick.

Background/History: He's the son of a Blacklist Hunter (his mother, Maria Lurk) whom he loves, but it's also terrified of, and a circus acrobat, who was killed when he was a baby in retaliation from one of his mother's jobs. His mother usually embarrass him with baby stories in front of people. He tried several times to run away from home, but his mother always find him after a couple of days (according to her, it's the head start). Being the son of a blacklist hunter, he learned from early age to defend himself, and killed for the first time when he was 14, when someone attempted to kill him and his mother. In that opportunity, his mother didn't lift a finger and left him in charge. He also followed his father's steps and became an acrobat, and took a job on a local circus. When he turned 21, he left to take the Hunter's Exam, which he passed without much effort. At 22, he became an information Hunter, and searches everywhere for rare bits of information just to satisfy his curiosity.

Hatsu
Name: Our War Game
Type(s): Specialization/Conjuration
Details: (Including restrictions, conditions etc.): The user transports himself and his target to a Nen created space to play games. Each game will grant the winner 1 point.

Name: Sora

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Height: 172cm

Weight: 65 kg

Hair Colour: Brown

Eye Colour: Blue

Appearance: He has 2 outfits: A black coat, gloves, and knee-length boots with silver trimming and high concave indentations in the top, that he wears more occasionally, and his other one has large black and yellow shoes, a black overjacket as well as a black and red jumpsuit and a pair of black gloves, that he wears more commonly. Light skin and spiky hair. He also wears a small backpack.

Personality: He is very talkative and likes making friends, but is quick to notice if someone's trying to trick him thinking he's naive. He can get angry easily around stubborn people, even if he is stubborn himself. His instinct to tell if people are really his friends or not is pretty good.

Background/History: Sora lived in a small island for up to 10 years old, and he really liked playing on the water. The island was very boring and had no dangers of any sort, so, besides exploring and fighting/escaping the wild animals (which were not that dangerous), he wanted to have more adventure. Determined to find it, he left a letter home explaining his reasons to his parents, packed up and ran away.
In about 2 weeks, he got himself into a dense forest in a mountain region. It was very dangerous there, far more than in his island, and he knew it. After walking around with no goal in it, suddenly a huge wild animal, unknown to him, attacked. He tried running away but it was too fast, and it clearly couldn't be hurt by him. After all seemed lost, someone appeared and saved him: a man with blue hair and deep blue eyes,wearing a black coat, which knocked out the animal in a single blow, so fast that his eyes could barely keep up. The man, which introduced himself as Takeshi, asked Sora what could he be doing there. After explaining his reason, Takeshi disapproved and tried convincing him to go home. Seeing it was pointless, he made a proposal: if he wants adventure so badly, then he needs training. He offered to train Sora. Sora spent 2 years training with Takeshi, growing a lot stronger as a result: none of the wild animals of the forest were a match for him now. Takehi told Sora about the Hunter Exam, and that Hunters can have a lot of fun jobs. Sora went out, participated in the Hunter Exam, and managed to pass. He came back home to see his parents and tell them about everything, and someone familiar was waiting there too: Takeshi. After Sora's reunion with his parents, Takeshi told Sora about Nen, and offered to teach him. Sora spent 2 more years training Nen with Takeshi, and he was taught all basic and advanced techniques, and was helped to develop his own hatsu. By the first 6 months, when Sora mastered the basic techniques, Takeshi had told him about the secret Exam, and how he was an official Examiner. After those 2 years, Takeshi told Sora he had important things to take care of, and they both parted ways. Sora knew deep down that he probably wouldn't ever see Takeshi again. Sora spent a year doing all sorts of Hunter jobs looking for something interesting (and getting himself money), but nothing interesting stood out to him so far.

Type of Hunter: (if any in particular) Nothing in particular so far
Licensed Hunter: (Yes/NO) Yes
If yes, how many years have they had their license?: 3
Primary Nen Type: Transmutation
Secondary Nen Type: Enhancement
Strongest Advanced Nen Technique: (Shu, Gyo, In, En, Ryu, Ken or Ko) Shu
Weakest Advanced Nen Technique: En
Weapons: Regular throwing knives and shuriken, kept concealed. May or may not carry sword (see Hatsu)
Other Equipment and Personal Belongings: He wears a crown necklace that his master gave him. It is highly valued by him, but has no special properties. He also carries a pocket clock that Takeshi gave to him that, when used Ren into, shows a image of his mentor. He carries his coat into his bag when not using it.

Hatsu
Name: Blue Drop
Type(s): Transformation, Conjuration, Emission, Enhancement
Details:

He can summon or dismiss at will his Blue Wave, a sword-like weapon that has a blade that is similar to water in appearance, and has cold properties due to his Transformation. He says(or yells, whispers,etc.) " Blue Drop" upon summoning the blade.

Blue Blast: He can shoot those from his Blue Wave, the Blue Blasts are nothing more than cold (due to his transformation) ball-shaped aura bullets. They're not cold enough to freeze, but they're certainly cold enough to slow down and disturb the opponent if he takes too many, so it's not too safe to tank them. Due to them being not that strong, he can shoot a lot of them in rapid succession, and the balls themselves are quite fast. The range isn't that great (about as big as the range where one can consistently headshot with an assault rifle).

Blue Board: By transforming his aura in ice, he can create an ice board for him to surf on, and, since he can manipulate the temperature of the ice, he uses ice hot enough to turn into water, using aura to push the water and propelling himself forward. The ice board is about as big as 1/5 of his En reach (as of now, his En is 6 meters big, so the ice board is 1.2 meters). Other people can surf on the board, but it makes the ability to take more aura to mantain, unless the other people focus aura on their feet too. Pouring aura into their feet doesn't increase the speed, though. Everyone in the board gets their feet slightly frozen into the board so they don't fall (that's why the aura is required for the "passengers").

Blue Mirror: By transforming the aura into ice, Sora creates an ice mirror, about 2m tall and with a bit more width than his body. By using aura, the mirror's reflection is changed to that of the environment, effectively serving as camouflage if used in conjuction with Zetsu. Can only be used while standing still, and the mirror only exists as long as one of Sora's hands is touching it. The trick is easily discovered by touching the mirror, using En, or going around it, obviously. Up to 2 can be created(one for each hand).

Absolute Zero: His favorite (and most powerful) skill. He focuses all his aura into his Blue Wave, thus greatly increasing it's strenght. It also has cold properties, alongside Blue Wave's cold. He likes yelling it's name when the attack connects.

Commentary: Sora likes hiding Blue Wave with In, but that only serves as an preemptive strike or surprise attack, since he obviously can't use In while fighting with the sword. He is fairly skilled at melee even without Blue Wave -relatively speaking-, but his real skill is in the sword-fighting. The Enhancement is used in Absolute Zero, in case that isn't obvious. Also, in case that it isn't obvious too, he uses Shu to increase Blue Wave's attack power.

Name: Random Randomson
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Height: 5'7
Weight: 135 lbs
Hair Colour: Blonde
Eye Colour: Deep Purp... nah, Black

Appearance:

Random is a guy who is seen almost always wearing his high school uniform. The uniform is composed of a white polo, black slacks and black leather shoes. One glance at Random and you immediately think he's a part of a rock or metal band, partly because of the pair of drumsticks he's always seen carrying around, and partly because of his long, untrimmed, elbow-length hair. Always wears a black cotton wristband on both wrists.

Personality:

He always projects a tough-guy attitude and talks in a manner that is harsher than what he really meant. Has a weird speech quirk in that he curses often, but he "censors" the curse by not completing the curse-word, making the word sound "muted in the nick of time". People consider him charismatic. Has a soft heart for kids, especially cute babies, although he tries his hardest not to show this to people. When thinking hard, he unconsciously makes the duckface.

Background/History:

Random grew up from a poor family in a neighborhood wracked by delinquent gang wars. Music was one of the few things that kept him going. He aspired to be a drummer. But since he was poor, he could only afford drumsticks and play the "air drums" instead. In his high school years, a string of tragic events made him decide to fight the gangs himself. His "crusade" bore fruit when he finally "tamed" all the gangs in their area and "unified" them shortly before his Graduation Day. Under him, the "One True Gang" made war with the real roots of their problems. Their activities ranged from assaulting drug dealers and reforestation. They never gained the love of the government and the police, though. Two years ago, on his second year in college, he decided to leave and become a Hunter to tackle societal problems in a larger scope - without telling anybody. He did become a Hunter but was considered missing by the One True Gang so the community assigned his former rival Clarion Alarum to find him. Random never stopped practicing the "air drums" and this activity was Clarion's lead all throughout his search. Random is currently engaged with a lot of Crime and Blacklist Hunting.

Type of Hunter: Crime Hunter
Licensed Hunter: Yes
If yes, how many years have they had their license?: 2
Primary Nen Type: Emission
Secondary Nen Type: Reinforcement
Strongest Advanced Nen Technique: Ken
Weakest Advanced Nen Technique: In
Weapons: Drumsticks
Other Equipment and Personal Belongings: A medium-sized backpack with some clothes, a hygiene kit, food (actually only composed of potato chips) and drink (canned root beer), and a cheap 6-year old MP3 player.

Hatsu
Name: Air Drums
Type(s): Emission, Reinforcement
Details: (Including restrictions, conditions etc.)

Random emits circular pads of nen arranged around him like an actual drum set. When these are struck, a percussive sound is created, and a nen ball is launched from a random point on the surface of a satellite-dish like area in front of him. Random could create a seat made of nen so that he can play some nen bass drums. The seat could be used to fly around and swivel so that he always faces the opponent. The faster he plays, the more nen-balls he could emit. The better he plays, the bigger damage those nen-balls could emit.

As a final sub-ability to his technique, Random can "re-assimilate" stray nen-balls that hadn't struck anything yet except "empty air". This acts like how Reiza reabsorbed the nen he spent to create his Devils.

Commentary: (optional) I added a strengthening condition to the Hatsu. It's now comparable to a cross between Bonorenolf's and Franklin's Hatsu.

[MegamanX195]

This is interesting... but I'll wait a bit more before confirming if I'm in.

Specially because I'm still thinking about the Hatsu...

[Uriel]

I don't have time to join, but you have all my support.

[heron bpv]

Hmm, sounds fun, but I'm not sure about how much free time I will have to spent on this (semester's gonna start next week :/). Any thoughts on how to manage a more casual player?

No worries, take all the time you need! Thanks for your interest!

Hmm, sounds fun, but I'm not sure about how much free time I will have to spent on this (semester's gonna start next week :/). Any thoughts on how to manage a more casual player?

Hmm, maybe a character who operates separately from the main group? That way you can post at your own pace. Kind of like how at different times during the York Shin arc all the main characters are off doing different things (except Gon ad Killua who stick together).

If we could tie in your character's plot to that of the others somehow, that'd be good too (though not completely necessary).


Also, I'm about to edit the character sheet slightly; I'm going to add "Type of Hunter" (as in Beast, Hacker, Blacklist etc.).

[heron bpv]

Well, in that case, just give me some time. I need to think about the specifics about my character. When I'm done, I'll post the character sheet. =]

[thatguy3331]

Aw crap! I'm not late am I? I tried running a HxH RP at the KWF... but it died, so joining this one would be nice

[Tame]

You're definitely not too late! Thanks for expressing an interest!

[Hunter2323]

Here is my info. I've only done pen/paper RPGs, so not sure how an online one works. I can usually get online everyday, but the time I'm on is very different than most people (living in China). Is it we agree on a time to meet or just often check the board? If we can check ourselves I'd love to join; if we have to agree on a time to meet I probably can't do it.

Weakest Advanced Nen Technique: En, In (both basically non-existant)
Weapons: 3 sharpened titanium rings, kali sticks
Other Equipment and Personal Belongings: cell phone, wallet (pics of family), hunter license
Nen:
Rings of Saturn (emission, manipulation, transformation/reinforcement)

1 - use 3 solid razor sharp rings in order to manipulate and deal damage; if all 3 rings can be placed around someone's neck that person is now under the user's control for 1 hour (this can only be done after telling the opponent of the ability)

2 - emit rings of nen to use against the enemy; silver rings are razor sharp; gold rings shoot a nen energy cannon, rings can be used as blunt force, more rings means more powerful cannon; crimson rings are used to increase rate of healing (around self or others)

The second ability can only be used if all three rings are around the user's neck.

Commentary on Nen Ability:
3 is used for the first ability and there are 3 colors of rings because the ring toss is the the job he worked before becoming a hunter to help his family ($1 for 3 rings). Final restriction is so that the 2 abilities cannot overlap (which I think would make the character a bit broken). Everything works in threes for this ability. As of now, Amparo can only use up to 3 rings at once (forgot to mention red rings cannot inflict damage, only heal). Hoping there is some type of training scenario that allows the characters to improve their abilities. When creating the character, I imagined at his peak he could be operating 18 rings at one time.

If that character is no good, I also like this character.

Name: Akau
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Height: 182 cm
Weight: 68 kg
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Appearance: baggy khaki shorts, unbuttoned short sleeve collared shirt, sandals
Personality: somewhat neurotic planner; constantly planning, always considering all options; somewhat untrusting of self, so tries to avoid direct combat
Background/History: grew up near a volcano so understood the power of nature and harsh conditions; ash reminds him of home; father’s home was buried by a volcanic eruption; loved reading his island's local mythology so decided he wanted to read/hear myths from all over the world (so he learns the language to read/learn the myths)
Type of Hunter: Language/Relic/Myth Hunter
Licensed Hunter: Yes
If yes, how many years have they had their license?: 13
Primary Nen Type: Manipulation
Secondary Nen Type: Emission
Strongest Advanced Nen Technique: Gyo
Weakest Advanced Nen Technique: En, In, Ken
Weapons: huge gourd of ashes, throwing knives
Other Equipment and Personal Belongings: small pouch of winter clothes/sneakers
Nen:
Ash Mountain (manipulation, emission, reinforcement)
carry around a massive gourd filled with ashes that I would then manipulate for different effects; ash must be personally collected/created and then placed in gourd by my own hands; removing the gourd increases the power greatly but if the ashes are not placed back inside within 7 minutes they can no longer be manipulated (must find/collect/create new ashes and refill the gourd)
Ash Elves – with an emission/manipulation core, these can be used for distraction/spying, user can temporarily give up his sight to allow them to see through one of his elves; create fake weapons/hide real weapons; small/weak shields; distractions; smothering/poisoning/forcing ash down throats; Black Out Dome – create a dome to block out all light

*I changed the strongest to just one, so is it okay to leave the weakest at a few? Also, the two nen descriptions are both characters at the best of their abilities, so you can put some level restrictions on them if you want.

[Tame]

Thanks for replying, Hunter! Don't worry, just check when you can. If it was a specific time that would never work. I for one couldn't be bothered. :P

Now, on to your character. Pretty much everything's fine except for a couple of small things; in strongest and weakest advanced nen techniques please choose only one technique for each.

About your hatsu, is there any limit to the number of rings you can create? It would still be broken if you could make, say, three of each colour at once.

[thatguy3331]

I'M almost done with my oc, can I reserve a spot for a few hours?

Nevermind, here it is, need a little help with the nen though and some helpful critisim.

Name: Denis Galbuster
Age: 16
Gender: male
Height: 67 inches
Weight: 165 lbs
Hair Colour: Black
Eye Colour: Brown

Appearance: Has light brown skin with very short yet spikey hair, wears a blue jacket with a black shirt underneath jeans and sports Brown and black travel boots

Personality: A boy who simply wants to find an adventure in life and feels that being a hunter would help fulfill his desire. He’s something of a jokester and speaks sarcastically most of the time, causing people to sometimes wonder what he hell he’s actually thinking, but it is apparent he upholds a strong moral code about people he considers a friend of ally. despite that however he can sometimes come off as an ass if he does something that dosn't effect his code, which is one of the things people chatise him for.

Background/History: He grew up in a pretty poor and run down place, constantly labeled as living garbage by nobles and people who had money. The only joy he had was a little girl his age who was a close friend of his and as he claimed was” too optimistic for her own good.” Turns out he wasn’t far from the truth, when they were 8 she childishly tried to help a injured wild animal in the rain. Not only did she get a cold, but the creature was carrying a disease that needed serious medical treatment for, which of course they had no money for so she was on a deathbed. Denis tired everything he could even stole medicine from a pharmacy, but it did little to no good. He would have been a depressed wreck, but his friend gave him her final words: “Denis, I had fun. Now I want you to promise me something ok? Promise you’ll have even more fun then I did!” When he agreed she smiled and passed. Denis snuck into libraries did research and found out about the hunter association and decided to join due to all of the perks. He waited until he was sure he could pass and left his home (by freeloading on a ship) and began his journey there to find something worth living for.

Type of Hunter: none in particular, takes any job he can.
Licensed Hunter: NO
If yes, how many years have they had their license?:
Primary Nen Type: Emission
Secondary Nen Type: Manipulator/transmuter
Strongest Advanced Nen Technique: shu
Weakest Advanced Nen Technique: ko
Weapons: Hunter knife, used mostly for hunting wild animals though
Other Equipment and Personal Belongings: A backpack, slingshot, Hunter knife, utility muti tool, a locket with a picture of his deceased friend and her words to him.

Hatsu
Name: Bubble
Type(s): Emmision, Manipulation, a little bit of transmuter
Details: He can create on of 3 types of ‘bubbles’ of aura.
1st : ‘shift bubble’ : Using both emission and manipulation types He creates a blue bubble that intraps a object and move it around the air. It can only levitate and carry inanimate objects; humans, animals and etc. are not affected. Restrictions have been placed to help enhance the use of the ability when called.
2nd : ‘Burst bubble’: creates a red bubble that deploys his nen energy one it is touched. Since this mostly uses emission he can create more than one, but no more than 10 due to the transmuter use of acting like a bubble. He can also control how powerful the blasts the bubble gives off are.
3rd : ‘Cushion bubble’: creates a bubble to save himself from any long falls or dangerous objects, once used however it instantly deflates thus ending the use.

Restrictions: Shift bubble can only effect inanimate objects, humans will not be effected. Only one bubble can be made and it can only hold one object. The object in question cannot supersede a large height or a enormous weight. Can only use 3 times in battle, usage doubles outside of battle. Boom bubble can only create up to ten bubbles at a time, the number shifts depending on the size or quantity of nen. Cusion bubble immediately enters a slow state of deactivation after use (like a air bag or something). No two types of bubbles can be out at the same time.

Commentary: none right now.

[heron bpv]

Took me a while before I consolidate my nen ability. I had other in mind, but couldn't make clear enough, even for me, so I put that aside and came with this (*WARNING* - Wall of text ahoy!):

Name: Christiano Herrera (aliases: Chris; The Cardmaster)
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Height: 1,78m
Weight: 60 kg
Hair Colour: brown
Eye Colour: gray-brown
Appearance: Common latin physical characteristics, with no beard, a tanned skin and a fairly muscular body. Usually in discrete clothes, or as required for the current job (usually suit for bodyguard, and the apropriate vestment for the treasure hunt).
Personality: Overconfident bastard, but introspective. On the other hand, he is serious about his work, and will stay out of unecessary trouble if it means to fail in a job. He's honest though, which is a rarity in his choosen field.
Background/History: The only son of a middle-class family in a certain country on the Yorubian continent, Chris had an almost pretty normal childhood, if not for his parents to take him to a kung fu shingen dojo when he was only 6, hoping for he to learn valuable lessons of dedication and discipline. His training led for a early development of his nen-powers, by the age of 10. Though he acquired quite the feat for someone his age, Chris was still facinated by histories of great treasures and adventures, fighting big monsters and finding strange things, dreaming for someday to travel the world and discover great treasures. Slacking off and daydreaming were his bad habits, and in order to help him concentrate both at school and during his trainings, his master introduced him to a certain game of cards, where you could control mystical creatures of great power and wielded powerful magic in duels with other players. He could only play after finishing his daily obligations though, and given that only his master had the cards to play (the game was already very old and no more available), his idea hit right in the spot, for Chris got in love with the game at first sight and then showed greater dedication to his obligations, but it also made him a little more distant from people his age, a development which later turned him more difficult to approach. As his teenage years passed, and he started to sort of his desires, he dedicated himself even more in order to, at the age of 18, pass the hunter exam and start grasping his dreams. But failure came two times, even with obivious advantages over other competitors, and only on his 20's he came to have his license. Realizing he needed to work even more, and tasting a great crush on his pride and confidence, he almost completely gave himself to training in order to finalize his hatsu, something he rightly believed would improve his overall performance and survivability. Leaving home, and only taking jobs which could give him time to train while being dangerous enough for him to experience the battlefield, it took him a decade to finally make it. Right now, he is working towards his hunts more, having already had success with two so far.
Type of Hunter: Treasure Hunter and bodyguard.
Licensed Hunter: Yes, and for 10 years already.
Primary Nen Type: Reinforcement/Enhancement
Secondary Nen Type: a mix of the rest (see nen power, below)
Strongest Advanced Nen Technique: Ryu
Weakest Advanced Nen Technique: In
Weapons: His fists, sharply developed under his kung-fu shingen school training, and under certain circunstances, his cards (also, see nen power, below).
Other Equipment and Personal Belongings: sunglasses, lighter, hunter license, clothing, climb equipment, dive equipment (the last two acquired for his former 2 hunts).

Hatsu
Name: The Gathering
Type(s): All, excluding Speciallization.
Details: At the start of each battle, materialize the deck (with all the cards avaiable) and draw 1 card from the deck, at random (there are no indications of which card it is until you draw the card in question). Each card has one of three themes: a hero theme, representing a legendary being, which gives me one of two options of "equipment", with possible different effects; a monster theme, which brings a nen-creature to life to help me in battle, but suppresses one of my hatsus for the time it remains in action; and a magic, that I can only use once and has a random effect, but with great consequences. To use a card is simply to wish for his effect to work, and this decision cannot be manipulated in any way, nor can someone make use of the cards or it's powers by means of manipulation hatsu. Each card has a duration time of sorts, and his own set of conditions. Only one card can be drawn at each battle (with only one exception). The cards are as follows:

1. Mordekainen, the Knight: the noble knight brings two weapons: the powerful Mordekainen Sword, which only affects nen and non-living beings, automatically suppress a nen effect or ability upon the target (if there's more than one effect or ability working on the time the hit lands, one is suppressed at random); or the Black Sword of Disaster, which only affects nen and living things, and automatically destroys a nen-based attack or creature upon touch. Any suppressed/destroyed nen-effect generates a expenditure of nen equal to the one being suppressed/destroyed. If the effect destroyed/suppressed has greater nen than I could pay, the sword dissipates harmlessly. Duration is until dissipated or dismissed, and any suppression in effect ceases when this happens.
2. Acererak, the Deathbringer: the powerful necromancer brings two artifacts: the Sphere of Annihilation, an globe 2 feet in diameter of absolute nothingness that is placed under my range of view. Any nen that comes upon contact with the sphere is sucked into the void, gone, and utterly destroyed. The sphere cannot be moved by anything and remains in place until dismissed or used, when it then dissipates with whatever nen it destroyed. Destroyed nen is persistent, but subject to nen-removal as all other persisted effects (which works here by "removing " the sphere so the nen could go back normally to its source); or the Phylactery of Lichdom, an amulet that, as long as it exists, will reform my body instantly after I die, in a place around it where I could occupy. The amulet is a mundane item, and is easily destroyed, but also can be affected by nen. Has a duration of only 10 minutes though.
3. Urza, the Artificer: the legendary maker brings two equipments: Urza's Battle Armor, which envelops the user and works as a persistent ken-effect, tied to my Reinforcer level (much in the way of Palm's Black Widow nen ability), for the duration of the battle; or the Urza's Metallic Wings, who give me the ability to fly, for the duration of the battle as well.
4. Mishra, the Wizard: the mystical sage brings two staffs: the Bastion of Broken Souls, which can break the willpower of anyone on line of sight whose name and nen-type I know, and that the staff had touched at least once in the last 10 minutes. The effect persists for 1 hour after, and the staff dissipates after use, being dismissed, or after 10 minutes; or the Staff of the Archmagi, which increases my nen by 25% of my total capacity for 10 minutes or until dismissed.
5. The Rising Phoenix: The legendary bird of fire comes to life, burning my enemies in flame. The phoenix is an independent flying aura-shaped entity (in other words, it has not a form of it's own, alike to Zeno's dragon head nen ability), directed by my will, that can burn things it touches. It's flames are harmless to the user, though not the flames generated by flammable things upon which it made contact. While the phoenix is active, when I receive a death blow or die, we switch places and it dissipates in my place. My condition is then completely healed. The phoenix remains for 1 hour, and it supresses my transformation hatsu.
6. The Raging Quimera: the dangerous creature who incarnates destruction comes to life, attacking everything on sight. The quimera is an independent flying nen-creature (akin to Goreinu's Black and White Goreinus), which only accepts orders to not target a creature or a thing (it never attack me though). It attacks with either one of it's three heads (classical goat's gore, lion's bite or dragon's fire breath; all of them harmless to me) or with it's scorpion tail (that have a paralysing poison that persists for an hour; also harmless to me). The chimera remains for 1 hour, and it supresses my reinforcement hatsu.
7. The Noble Coult: the mystical flying serpent which is said to have great wisdom comes to life, helping me during the battle. The coult is an independent flying nen-creature (like the chimera), with a will of his own. As long as it can sense his target with it's en, the coult will give me information about my enemies tactic's (by reading his superficial thoughts on the fight) and his nen properties (randomly, as it finds them out). It's en range is double mine, and the coult remains for 1 hour, suppressing my emission hatsu.
8. Allure of the Twin Goddess': Brings down to me the blessing of the moon goddess, or the curse of the dark goddess upon my enemies. When the card is activated, this power either fully heal physical damage taken by me and any ally or allies in range (tied to my en*2), or it will curse all of my enemies in range by blinding them with a persisten effect. This power is instantaneous.
9. Elemental Evocation: Brings down the power of the elements to destroy my enemies. When the card is activated, this power either calls down a fireball (affecting an area in range), a lightning bolt (affecting a line in a direction) or a cone of cold (affecting an area around me), any of which damages anything in the area of effect. I'm immune to the effects of my own elemental evocations. This power is instantaneous.
10. Nimb's dice: Brings down the blessings of the god of luck and chaos. When the card is activated, it creates 2 dices (six-sided or d6). When desired, roll the dices. If the number is greater or equal than the level of threat of the current combat (in a scale of 1 to 12 compared to my current situation and the difference between my aura and aura of my enemy; the greater the threat, the greater is this number), choose two cards at will (excluding this one). The power of those cards will only have a durantion of 1 minute though (overriding the original duration, but not of it's effects; magic cards are still instantaneous). If it's lower, suppresses The Gathering for 24 hours. This power is instantaneous, and the dice's remain until dismissed.

Commentary: Well, what to say, there are quite a high number of sources that inspired me on this one. Have fun figuring them all out ^^'

*Obs.: Kung-fu shingen is Netero's school of martial arts, and if I remember correctly the continent Yorubian is where Southern Peace and York Shin are located.

[Zvane]

I'm totally in, here's my character:

Name: Scyre Lurk

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Height: 5'7

Weight: 70kg

Hair Colour: Really dark blonde, almost chestnut.

Eye Colour: Green

Appearance: An athletic body earn from years of martial arts and acrobatic training. Short hair and 5 o'clock shadow (unless he's recently shaved, then he looks 16). Usually wars a black tank top and tanned shorts with blue converse style shoes. He also wears a blue bandana. Because he's a Buddhist, he also wears a mala on his right wrist.

Personality: He's energetic and childish, usually quite cheerful. He's a game addict, no matter what kind of game, from sports to board games, and usually love to bet on them. He does have a more serious side, since he's a devoted Buddhist, he meditates and prays everyday. He's also a vegetarian, and overindulges himself with alcohol. He's also a bit of a perv, and usually dirty thoughts come to his mind. He's also a bit of a prick.

Background/History: He's the son of a Blacklist Hunter (his mother, Maria Lurk) whom he loves, but it's also terrified of, and a circus acrobat, who was killed when he was a baby in retaliation from one of his mother's jobs. His mother usually embarrass him with baby stories in front of people. He tried several times to run away from home, but his mother always find him after a couple of days (according to her, it's the head start). Being the son of a blacklist hunter, he learned from early age to defend himself, and killed for the first time when he was 14, when someone attempted to kill him and his mother. In that opportunity, his mother didn't lift a finger and left him in charge. He also followed his father's steps and became an acrobat, and took a job on a local circus. When he turned 21, he left to take the Hunter's Exam, which he passed without much effort. At 22, he became an information Hunter, and searches everywhere for rare bits of information just to satisfy his curiosity.

Type of Hunter: (if any in particular): Information Hunter

Licensed Hunter: (Yes/NO): Yes

If yes, how many years have they had their license?: 1 year.

Primary Nen Type: Specialization

Secondary Nen Type: Conjuration

Strongest Advanced Nen Technique: (Shu, Gyo, In, En, Ryu, Ken or Ko): Shu

Weakest Advanced Nen Technique: In

Weapons: Two Tanto blades and a gun.

Other Equipment and Personal Belongings: Cell phone, Wallet, Hunter's License, a portable videogame console, a mala.

Hatsu
Name: Our War Game
Type(s): Specialization/Conjuration
Details: (Including restrictions, conditions etc.): The user transports himself and his target to a Nen created space to play games. Each game will grant the winner 1 point. When a player wins 3 points, then he or she will be declared winner, and can make any kind of penalty he or she wants to the loser, who then will be forced to do (can even be stuff like "Die"). The space will change to suit the needs of this game.

The game can be pretty much anything, as long as both players know the rules for the game.
The target will choose the first game.
The user needs to be touching the target/s to activate this ability.
This ability can only be used with the consentment of the target, even if he doesn't know about the ability (for example, by saying "let's play a game" and getting an "okay" as a reply).
If any player cheats, then it will count as a loss and the other player will gain 1 point.
As long as they are in this space, players cannot get harmed or killed, unless the game itself allows it (as in the case of fights to death).

[Tame]

Thank you all so much for applying!! Here's feedback on all your applications.

Hunter232

Amparo: Everything's pretty much good here. The only thing I'll ask is that you expand his appearance; so far you've described his clothes but not really what Amparo himself looks like. The limit of three Rings is good; it's what I would have suggested myself. 18 would, of course, be indicate a very high level of power. Your characters will improve in strength over time, but I think it would take years of training to get to that level.

Akau: Likewise, the only thing I ask is that you expand his apperance a little. Also, exactly how large is the gourd?
The ability is fine; Ash Elves sound similar to Morel's smoke clones.

You an use whichever of those characters you prefer.

thatguy3331

Denis Galbuster: Again, most everything is fine. I also really like the backstory. As with Hunter2323 though, could you expand upon his appearance a little?

Hatsu
Name: Bubble
Type(s): Emmision, Manipulation, a little bit of transmuter
Details: He can create on of 3 types of ‘bubbles’ of aura.
1st : ‘shift bubble’ : Using both emission and manipulation types He creates a blue bubble that intraps a object and move it around the air. It can only levitate and carry inanimate objects; humans, animals and etc. are not affected. Restrictions have been placed to help enhance the use of the ability when called. Can nen and objcts made of nen be carried?
2nd : ‘Burst bubble’: creates a red bubble that deploys his nen energy one it is touched. Since this mostly uses emission he can create more than one, but no more than 10 due to the transmuter use of acting like a bubble. He can also control how powerful the blasts the bubble gives off are. So the bubbles explode, right? And if you increase their power then you can't make as many? If you create ten at a time then how strong is each one individually?
3rd : ‘Cushion bubble’: creates a bubble to save himself from any long falls or dangerous objects, once used however it instantly deflates thus ending the use.

Burst Bubble in particular would use more Transmutation nen since it involves create a bubble-like substance and inbuing it with explosive properties. But an Emission user having this still makes sense since it means you can deploy them at longer ranges and Manipulate them better, though the explosions will be weaker.

heron bpv

Christiano Herrera: Everything's pretty much fine as far as the main body of the bio goes. I only ask that you make a couple of small changes: please alter the age at which Chris learnt nen. While I haven't insisted that everyone's character have the same level of skill and experience, I think twenty years' worth is too great an amount.

Also, you can only have one seconary nen type. In the case of an Enhancer it must be either Emission or Transmutation.

Other Equipment and Personal Belongings: sunglasses, lighter, hunter license, clothing, climb equipment, dive equipment (the last two acquired for his former 2 hunts). Carrying climbing equipment and diving equipment at the same time would be too unwieldy for one person.

Hatsu

I feel bad because you've clearly put a lot of thought into it, but your Hatsu is completely unsuitable.

Name: The Gathering
Type(s): All, excluding Speciallization.
Details: At the start of each battle, materialize the deck (with all the cards avaiable) and draw 1 card from the deck, at random (there are no indications of which card it is until you draw the card in question). Each card has one of three themes: a hero theme, representing a legendary being, which gives me one of two options of "equipment", with possible different effects; a monster theme, which brings a nen-creature to life to help me in battle, but suppresses one of my hatsus for the time it remains in action; and a magic, that I can only use once and has a random effect, but with great consequences. To use a card is simply to wish for his effect to work, and this decision cannot be manipulated in any way, nor can someone make use of the cards or it's powers by means of manipulation hatsu. Each card has a duration time of sorts, and his own set of conditions. Only one card can be drawn at each battle (with only one exception). The cards are as follows:

1.Mordekainen, the Knight: the noble knight brings two weapons: the powerful Mordekainen Sword, which only affects nen and non-living beings, automatically suppress a nen effect or ability upon the target (if there's more than one effect or ability working on the time the hit lands, one is suppressed at random); or the Black Sword of Disaster, which only affects nen and living things, and automatically destroys a nen-based attack or creature upon touch.
Any suppressed/destroyed nen-effect generates a expenditure of nen equal to the one being suppressed/destroyed. If the effect destroyed/suppressed has greater nen than I could pay, the sword dissipates harmlessly. Duration is until dissipated or dismissed, and any suppression in effect ceases when this happens. Automatic negation/destruction of a nen-based attack or nen creature is a very powerful ability. The conditions for it are nowhere near strict enough - even being able to use that ability once per battle is pretty damn good ability. Besides that, there is not even any backlash for not being able to fulfil the conditions of the technique.

2.Acererak, the Deathbringer: the powerful necromancer brings two artifacts: the Sphere of Annihilation, an globe 2 feet in diameter of absolute nothingness that is placed under my range of view. Any nen that comes upon contact with the sphere is sucked into the void, gone, and utterly destroyed. The sphere cannot be moved by anything and remains in place until dismissed or used, when it then dissipates with whatever nen it destroyed. Destroyed nen is persistent, but subject to nen-removal as all other persisted effects (which works here by "removing " the sphere so the nen could go back normally to its source); Again, automatic nen negation/destruction, this time at no cost whatsoever. And it has no limitations or weaknesses whatsoever. or the Phylactery of Lichdom, an amulet that, as long as it exists, will reform my body instantly after I die, in a place around it where I could occupy. The amulet is a mundane item, and is easily destroyed, but also can be affected by nen. Has a duration of only 10 minutes though. This technique alone makes this Hatsu qualify as Specialisation. Bringing oneself back from the dead is a technique which would require ludicrously high conditions and/or limitations, though in fact I'm inclined to the belief that bringing one back from the dead falls into the category of "stuff that can't be done in the HxH universe".

3.Urza, the Artificer: the legendary maker brings two equipments: Urza's Battle Armor, which envelops the user and works as a persistent ken-effect, tied to my Reinforcer level (much in the way of Palm's Black Widow nen ability), for the duration of the battle; or the Urza's Metallic Wings, who give me the ability to fly, for the duration of the battle as well. Is Urza code for Erza? :P

4.Mishra, the Wizard: the mystical sage brings two staffs: the Bastion of Broken Souls, which can break the willpower of anyone on line of sight whose name and nen-type I know, and that the staff had touched at least once in the last 10 minutes. The effect persists for 1 hour after, and the staff dissipates after use, being dismissed, or after 10 minutes; Massively over-powered. With these you'd only need a minimum amount of information and to land one hit in order in instantly beat someone.or the Staff of the Archmagi, which increases my nen by 25% of my total capacity for 10 minutes or until dismissed.

At this point I decided to stop commenting on them all because there are just so many over-powered techniques and abilities and it's pointless me listing the all.

Major problems with this Hatsu:
1) This Hatsu uses so many combinations of different nen types that only a person ludicrously powerful could have any hope of creating all of these abilities.
2) A Hatsu is generally one technique (Knuckle's) or one ability with several applications (Killua's, Morels) or several techniques joined together either by theme (Gon's, Kurapika's). This is just dozens of techniques with nothing in common with another other than the fact that they all come from Conjured playing cards.
3) So many of them are over-powered. Many of them, if they were your one and only ability, I would ask you to weaken. Many more of them are so over-powered that for them to make sense in the HxH universe you'd have to weaken them to such an extent that they'd no longer resemble their current effects.

I'm sorry to sound so harsh, but this Hatsu must be down-powered HUGELY before I'll accept your character.

Zvane

Everything's good here! My only questions are re. your Hatsu: the target chooses the first game. Who chooses the second and third? Does it alternate, or does the loser of the previous game choose? Also, can someone choose the same game more than once within the same best-out-three?

Whilst finalising your characters you might want to start thinking of what Hunt you'd like to start off with. Of the four that I mentioned in my first post of this thread, is there any that's caught anyone's fancy? I'll be trying to come up with more all the time, and I'd like to hear you guys' suggestions/requests too.

In order of the extent to which I've thought them out it goes:
Bodyguarding (pretty much completely thought-out)
Roc (quite planned out; still want to come up with a twist or two)
Hostage Rescue (I've tweaked slightly. The hotage now holds information re. either a corrupt politician or a corrupt official within th HA.)
Depth Tower (not very many ideas for this one. Think it might be a dead-end.)

PS. Apologies for any stupid spelling errors in this post: the half the keys on this keyboard don't work properly. :P

[Zvane]

Hey, thanks for replying.

About Our War Game

First of all, it's not just three games, it's whoever gets three points....plus, it can be used on multiple targets, as long as there's physical contact. The games are chosen alternatively:

In the case of 2 players: target, user, target (and if needed, user, tharget).
In there're 3 players: target 1, target 2, user (you get the idea)

If there's a tie in a game, then it's 1 point each, or no points each (depending on if the tie if of both losing, or both winning at the same time, usually in time based games or races and stuff).

This is until someone gets three points. Also, in the case of multiple players, the penalty can only be put on the only the one with the least points. (I might add a Sudden Death rule for multiple players, but I'm not sure...way too game show like)

As far as my character goes, he's an information hunter, so if someone's holding important information he can use or sell, he's open for Hostage Rescue
