The word "Unknown" holds magic

And some incredible people are drawn to that magic

They are known... as Hunters!

 

 

 

Spoiler Concept & Setting

The RP is set 3 years after the start of the main series and the player will create a character that is going to participate in the 290th Hunter Exam. It is the Exam that is taking place during the Dark Continent arc and will cover what is happening in the main world during the Hunter Exam in that time. Players are free to use and reference anything that has happened in the series to that point, but I won't be directly referencing anything that has happened in the manga so you don't need to have read the manga to understand what is going on. It will all be explained in the RP.

 

Players will build a character by putting a set number of points into several stat categories. They will also pick three to five individual traits to help round out their character and give them more specific identities within the story. The player will take their character and go through the Exam experiencing contests, trials, puzzles, and battles in hopes of passing the exam and getting their Hunter’s License.

 

 

For those that haven’t read Hunter x Hunter I’ll briefly describe what a Hunter, Hunter License, and Hunter Exam are. There is a group called the Hunter Association that is responsible for testing potential Hunters and issuing Hunter Licenses. Each year beginning on January 1st millions of people set off to try and take the Hunter Exam and get the valuable Hunter License. Just getting to the exam site itself is difficult, about 1 in 10,000 make it, as the exam site is hidden and changes places each year. The Exam itself is extremely difficult and many participants end up handicapped or dead during it, and the examiners running each exam stage are elite Hunters themselves.

 

A Hunter is someone that has passed that exam and receives all the benefits receiving a Hunter License entails (brief summary of benefits on the wiki). Most typically devote themselves to one particular field like uncovering ruins and reviving ancient societies (Archaeological Hunters), devotion to the study and preservation of undiscovered animal species (Beast Hunters), Hunters who dedicate their skills to tracking down dangerous and wanted criminals (Blacklist Hunters), Hunters who scour the world in search of rare and valuable items (Treasure Hunters), Hunters who just want to earn money (Jackpot Hunters), and so on.

 

For additional information about the Hunter Association, Hunter License and Hunter Exam I provided links to the wiki below.

Spoiler Stats & Traits

Stats and Traits are basically there to help the player create their character and give them an idea of what they are capable of. There are two basic categories of stats, physical and mental, and one special category for Nen Abilities (will be explained in a separate section). Physical stats revolve around a player's strength and speed and mental stats revolve around intelligence and perception. Stats are graded on a scale from 0 to 10 and players will have a pool of 30 points to put into the stats they want in order to build their character. (I might adjust the total number of stat points a character can use, so be aware it might get lowered to 25 or fewer)

 

Traits are words or titles the player chooses that most describes their character’s skills, abilities and potential actions. Things like Doctor, Assassin, Stubborn, Fisherman, Bloodthirsty, Computer Hacker, and so on. Your character’s abilities aren’t limited to what traits they have, but if you want your character to be able to do something more specific beyond general fighting ability it would be good to include it as a potential trait. Such as if you want your character to have an immunity to poisons, like Killua, then it would be good to include that in a trait like Assassin Training giving him all the benefits that come along with training as an assassin.

 

The player can pick 3-5 specific traits for their character with at least one trait being “challenging”, such as Girl Crazy (can get distracted by beautiful women), Bloodthirsty (can fly into a blind rage to quell a thirst for blood), or Acrophobia (fear of heights). I didn’t want the characters to all have completely positive traits, but I didn’t want players to come up with a negative one. So the idea of a “challenging” trait is one that might create challenges or problems for a character, but at the same time might prove to be beneficial in the right situation. It is there to try and give your character some interesting interactions.

 

Spoiler Strength & Speed

Strength and Speed are the basic ability stats that show what your character is capable of in combat or while attempting some other physical action, like trying to lift something or dodge something. I basically used the Testing Gate that appeared in the manga as a basic reference for the Strength stats, and then used the same multiplication for Speed. So that is how I came up with the numbers for the stats.  

 

Strength: is how strong someone is in terms of power behind their normal attacks as well as how much someone can lift or move. The levels below represent the absolute max they can move a short distance.

 

0. below average strength.

1. Average strength

2. Above average strength (can move up to 500 lbs)

3. Can move up to 1 Ton

4. Can move up to 4 Tons

5. Can move up to 8 Tons

6. Can move up to 16 Tons

7. Can move up to 32 Tons

8. Can move up to 64 Tons

9. Can move up to 128 Tons

10. Can move up to 256 Tons or more

 

Speed: is how fast and agile someone is. Relates to long distance running, quick bursts of speed, and number of attacks someone can perform in a small amount of time. The stat level below represents their max speed in a very short sprint and can't be maintained for long.

 

0. below average speed

1. Average speed

2. above average speed (around 25 miles per hour)

3. Can run around 100 mph (fast as a car)

4. Can run around 400 mph (fast as a high speed train)

5. Can run around 800 mph (fast as a plane, speed of sound, and bullets from low powered guns)

6. Can run around 1600 mph (fast as most bullets from most guns)

7. Can run around 3200 mph (fast as a bullet from high powered rifles and Jets)

8. Can run around 6400 mph (hypervelocity and missile speeds)

9. Can run around 12800 mph (fast as a railgun)

10. Can run around 25600 mph or faster (fast as a space rocket)

 

Spoiler Intelligence & Perception

Intelligence and Perception will work a little differently from stats like Speed or Strength since they aren't as easy to quantify. They are more fluid and not as rigid to a set limit or cap. They are mainly there to give you a general guideline to your character's ability. The big difference between having high or low Intelligence and Perception is that during the RP if your intelligence or perception is high enough I'll give you additional clues or hints as to what is going on at certain stages in the RP. For example, if we go to a certain location and you have high intelligence I’ll give you additional information about the location that your character can work with. With perception if it is high enough I might give you hints or clues when someone is lying or there is a potential danger coming.

 

Intelligence: is how smart someone is and their general knowledge of the world. If your character is a doctor or a computer hacker they will obviously need a certain level of intelligence to do those things.

 

0. Smart as a baby.

1. Low Intelligence – Bottom (about as smart as a typical 5 year old)

2. Low Intelligence – Middle (about as smart as a typical 10 year old)

3. Low Intelligence – Top (about as smart as a typical teenager)

4. Average Intelligence – Bottom (about as smart as an average adult)

5. Average Intelligence – Middle (about as smart as an adult that has had a fair amount of training or schooling in a field of research)

6. Average Intelligence – Top (about as smart as an adult that has completed a field of training or schooling)

7. High Intelligence – Bottom (genius level and as smart as someone that has mastered a field of training or schooling)

8. High Intelligence – Middle (genius level and as smart as someone that has mastered multiple field of training or schooling)

9. High Intelligence – Top (genius level and has mastered multiple field of training or schooling and is considered one of the top people in the world in their field)

10. Beyond a genius.  Considered one of the smartest people in the world. 

 

Perception: is how aware you are of what is going on around you and being able to read people or situations. Things like having superhuman sight, smell, hearing and so on will need high perception.

 

0. Perceptive as a baby.

1. Low Perception – Bottom

2. Low Perception – Middle

3. Low Perception – Top

4. Average Perception – Bottom

5. Average Perception – Middle

6. Average Perception – Top

7. High Perception – Bottom

8. High Perception – Middle

9. High Perception – Top

10. Has a sixth sense and can practically predict the future.

 

 

Spoiler Nen Abilities

Still working on this part to give it a bit more detail.

 

Nen can be a little complicated and difficult to understand for those not familiar with the series. I would suggest reading the Nen entry in the wiki (linked below) to get a basic grasp of it. If anyone has any questions about Nen, Nen Types, basic Nen abilities (like Gyo, In or En), or creating your own Nen abilities feel free to ask and me or someone in the RP will be happy to help. 

 

Nen

 

Basically Nen is a person’s aura or life energy produced by all living bodies vital for survival. People produce this naturally and it normally leaks out from a person's body with them unaware of it. Learning how to control and stop your aura from leaking is the first step in understanding nen. Once a person is able to control their own aura they can then use it to create limitless abilities. There are 6 types of nen a person can have which greatly influence the type of abilities a person can create. Enhancer, Transmuters, Emitters, Conjurers, Manipulators, and Specialists. A brief description taken from the wiki:

 

• Enhancers are determined and simple. Most of them never lie, hide nothing, and are very straightforward in their actions or in their thinking. Their words and actions are often dominated by their feelings. They are generally very selfish and focused on their goals. This is reflected in their Nen as enhancers typically rely on simple and uncomplicated Hatsu techniques.
• Transmuters are whimsical and prone to deceit. Transmutation users have unique attitudes, and many are regarded as weirdos or tricksters. Often they put forth a facade while hiding the truer aspects of their personalities. Even when they don't hide their personalities they rarely reveal their true intentions. Many Transmuters rely on techniques that give unique and unpredictable properties to their Nen that reflects their personalities.
• Emitters are impatient, not detail-oriented, and quick to react in a volatile manner. Many of them are quick-tempered and hot-blooded. They resemble the Enhancers in building their impulsivity, but the difference with them, they probably tend to calm down and forget easier. Because of the nature of Emission, many Hatsu techniques created by emitters are primarily long range.
• Conjurers are typically high-strung or overly serious and stoic. They are often on guard as to be cautious. They are very observant and logical, rarely falling into traps. Being able to analyze things calmly is the strength of Conjurers. Many of the items that conjurers create are often used by them in a very deliberate and practical, logical fashion.
• Manipulators are logical people who advance at their own pace. They are all for arguments and tend to want to keep their families and loved ones safe. On the other hand, when it comes to pursuing their own goals, they do not listen to what others might have to say about it. While manipulators often use techniques that allow them to control their opponents they also prefer to use an inanimate medium to control that can be used versatility (such as smoke or pieces of paper hardened with Shu).
• Specialists are individualistic and charismatic. They won't tell you anything important on them, and refrain from being close friends, but, because of their natural charisma that draws others, they are always surrounded by many people. Because Specialization is unique and can have many facets, most Specialists possess only one Hatsu technique. 

 

 

 

The type of nen a person has is important in how a person creates their own personal nen abilities, called Hatsu. Trying to create nen abilities that are different from your own natural alignment isn't impossible but they are less effective than ones created from your natural nen type. Only nen abilities from your own type can you use 100% of your full potential on. So if someone who is an Enhancer type wants to created a Conjuation ability they would be 60% effective. The further away you are to a type on the above graph the more difficult it is to use that nen type. I won't be very critical or tough on player created abilities, so feel free to create them how you see fit, and will probably only use this if a player's abilities are a bit too broken or powerful. Below is how the % works for the nen types. 

 

 

The important part in creating Hatsu abilities is understanding that using things you are familiar with helps in creating abilities. For example, Hisoka created and named his Bungee Gum ability after a type of brand gum he chewed as a kid, or Gon has always been very good at playing Rock Paper Scissors and created a nen ability off of that game. I won't be critical of how you create your abilities but this is just to help give you an idea in how to craft them. 

 

Also more importantly the more limits or conditions you put on your Hatsu ability the more powerful and effective it becomes. For example, let's say you want to create an ability that lets you control animals. That is a very broad ability, but if you limit it to just a specific type of animal, like snakes, then it will become more effective. If you put additional limits on the ability, like you have to perform a certain action before controlling the snake, then it becomes even more effective, especially if that action inconveniences the user. Again, I won't be too particular or critical in how you craft abilities, but having interesting and clever limits on them can make abilities feel more unique. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask for advice.

Here goes mine, obviously might need tweaking

Spoiler

Name: Kuin Nenkiri
Age: 26
Appearance: This, height is 190cm
Personality: Kuin is logical person who advances at his own pace. He's also more than ready to help his family and friends. On the other hand, he is rather stubborn and quite lazy.
Reason for Taking Hunter Exam: Kuin needs money to put his life back together so he's aiming to become an Archeological Hunter.
Character History: Kuin has always been interested in history and treasures. At age of 10 he noticed he can see some kind of aura around people and was later found out by a Hunter who noticed that he was actually very close of having mastered Ten subconcioussly at age of 15. The Hunter teached Kuin about Nen and became his teacher. Now after mastering Nen Kuin attempts to enter Hunter Exam
Fighting Style: Kuin uses his Nen-Golems as well as his shovel.
Weapons & Equipment: Kuins favorite shovel and a backpack.
Nen Type: Manipulator
Nen Abilities:
1. Earthy Servant -- Type Manipulation and Emission. Kuin can create Golems out of land. He does this by shoving his shovel into ground and emitting his aura into it, which then forms a Golem. Golems properties vary by the ground type they are made of (Golems made out of sand are easier to break but they can be fixed). Kuin can make up to 6 human-sized Golems (might need tweaking), 12 half-sized etc. as long the mass amount stays the same. Golems can be broken after they lose 50% of the mass they were crated with. Golems handling are determined by 2 factors:

• The detail in Golems appearance, which Kuin does when he puts his hand on Golems surface.
• The size of the Golem, smaller Golems can do more complex tasks than big ones.

Stats:
Strength – 3/10
Speed – 3/10
Intelligence – 8/10
Perception – 4/10
Nen – 7/10
Traits:
1. Great Historian -- Knows things about anctient civilizations, animals, treasures etc.

Okay, it looks good. I'll add it to the character list. 

 

Also remember I might lower the number of available stat points some before it all starts. 

[Blue22]

Welp. Here's my guy.

Spoiler

Name: Zane Murtagh

Age: 24

Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: True to his classification as a manipulator, Zane is a very logical and straightforward person (to the point of being blunt). Not one for large crowds, he much prefers spending the majority of his time out in the ocean or in the small town he grew up in. Despite not being much of a people person, he's usually a pretty friendly, albeit slightly more reserved around those he's just met.

Reason for Taking Hunter Exam: To fulfill his late wife's dream and to provide for his family. Since he's spent most of life studying marine life, he'd most likely be a Beast Hunter.

Character History: Zane grew up in a small port town, not unlike Whale Island. As the son of two sailors, Zane had a natural fascination with the ocean and the creatures that lived in it. He spent so much time at the beach and on his parents' boat that'd he often go days, even weeks, without setting foot in his own house.

For the most part, he lived a relatively normal life. But at the age of ten, things would take an unexpected turn for him when he befriended a girl named Celine. The two studied Nen under Celine's father, a retired Hunter, quickly mastering the basics and forming a friendly rivalry with each other.

 

While Celine worked hard to learn Nen because she aspired to be a Hunter, like her father, Zane only did it because it was what Celine was doing. He never aspired to be a Hunter. In fact, he never really aspired to be anything. He never desired a life of adventure and excitement. He was perfectly content with living his life by the sea. Every year since they were twelve, Celine would take the Hunter Exam. Every year, Zane would wish her good luck and wait for her to come back. And every year, she would return home without a license.

 

As the they grew older, their friendship eventually became a romance. Not wasting any time, the two were married on Zane's 18th birthday. Not even a year later, they had their first child. Four years (and two more children) later, Zane couldn't be happier. But he noticed that with each passing year, Celine grows further and further away from her dream of becoming a Hunter. Tragedy would soon strike for the young family, when Celine was diagnosed with a fatal illness. For the sake of her family and for her dream, she held on to life as hard as she could. But after a year of fighting, she couldn't hold on any longer. While losing a spouse would make most people fall apart, his loss was what Zane needed to give him the drive that he never had. If Celine couldn't live her dream of being Hunter, then he'd do it for her.

Fighting Style: While he usually prefers fighting with his nen ability, Zane is no pushover when it comes to normal hand to hand combat.

Weapons & Equipment: In order to use his Nen ability, Zane carries a canteen full of water attached to his belt at all times.

Stats:

Strength: 3/10

Speed: 5/10

Intelligence: 7/10

Perception: 4/10

Nen: 6/10

(if the stat limit has to be lowered, I can take a little off strength and perception. Hell I can even take one off of nen)

Traits:

1. Good Judge of Character

2. Natural Born Sailor

3. Unmotivated/Lazy

Nen Type: Manipulator

Nen Abilities:

 

1. By the Sea - Zane's nen ability allows him to control water. At least to a certain extent. While it's true that he can manipulate water on a cellular level, he's unable to create water from the moisture in the air. There has to be a source in order for him to use his Nen ability, which is why he always carries a canteen full of water with him.

Edited by Blue22, 20 June 2017 - 01:18 PM.

[Shin]

Looks good. I'll add him to the list. Controlling it on a cellular level is so you can turn it into ice or steam, right? Just wanted to clarify that. 

[Blue22]

That's one of the things I was getting at, yeah. I figured it might make things a little too OP for the Hunter Exam so if we make it past that arc, it'd be a skill he develops later on.

Spoiler Ren Akihiko character sheet

Name: Ren Akihiko
Age: 21
Appearance: short black hair, brown eyes and suntanned skin
Personality: Focussed on his goals, friendly and easy-going
Reason for Taking Hunter Exam: Ren wishes to travel more of the world and fight as many different types of creatures as possible.

The area inhabited by the Akihiko clan is home to many terrifying creatures and as such the clan has adapted by becoming skilled warriors specialised in wild beast hunting. To gain experience many Akihikos set out to travel and accumulate more knowledge and experience to improve the clan's techniques, it is during one such trip that Ren learned of the Dark Continent and became interested in it. 

Stats:
1. Strength – 6/10
2. Speed – 5/10

3. Intelligence – 4/10

4. Perception – 8/10

5. Nen – 2/10

Traits: 

Ranger - Ren possesses profound knowledge of plants and animals.

All-Terrain Combatant - Due to fighting in all sorts of areas Ren is an expert at using the terrain against his enemies.
Trance State - The Akihiko clan's strongest technique, Trance State allows the user to lock down on their target(s) with almost supernatural power and speed at the cost of an almost complete loss of awareness concerning anything else (They are still capable of navigating towards their target(s) almost instinctively but leaves them nearly defenseless against unforeseen threats.) 
Fighting Style: Horn bow for ranged combat and a katana for close combat.
Weapons & Equipment: A horn bow, a katana, several pouches containing dried herbs, currency and materials to repair clothing as well as a waterskin and a pack filled with dried meat and other easily preserved food for long trips.
Nen Type: Enhancer
Nen Abilities: None

 

As you might have noticed my stat totals are below 30, would that be a problem?

[Oben]

Spoiler

Name: Tief Unten

 

Age: 31

 

Appearance:

Spoiler

 

 

Like this, but more bulky:

 

 

Personality: Greedy and brutal with little regard for fellow humans or animals. However, he isn't particularly bloodlusted, he just views violence as one of the easiest means to achieve results. No genius, but still more intelligent than your average mobster, and tactically clever during bloodshed.

 

Reason for Taking Hunter Exam: Blatantly, money and a better standing in the underworld. Details below.

 

Character History: Born in NGL, the leadership of the country quickly noticed his ruthless personality, and put him to work with the drug and arms trade. When the Chimera Ant crisis struck, he was luckily outside of NGL as a bodyguard to one of the brokers, but he had nowhere to return to. He spent the following time wrestling through the weakened underworld of Yorkshin City, getting himself a name in certain circles. When the expedition to the Dark Continent was made public, Unten decided not to join them, but rather to approach the Hunter Exam, since he figured that the number of participants would be lowered because of the expedition sucking away talents, and that his overall chances of passing would therefore increase (he didn't know that there was no fixed number of succeeding participants).

 

Fighting Style: Head-on close-range brawl with every weapon available. He prefers knuckles, clubs and the occasional shotgun, but he'd smash your head in with a coocoo-clock if necessary.

 

Weapons & Equipment: A set of knuckles, a machete, combat vest with some equipment like bandages, army knives etc.

 

Stats:

- Strength: 8

- Speed: 4

- Intelligence: 5

- Perception: 6 -> 5 (as per request to lower to 25, was 26 total before)

- Nen: 3

 

Traits:

- Ruthless – He's as violent as he thinks he needs to be, which is often more violent than necessary.

- Knowledge of the underworld – He understands the underlying currents of the world, and will exploit them.

- Greedy – He'll go at sometimes irrational lengths to increase short-term gain, even if it is harmful to him in the long run. (Challenge)

 

Nen Type: Enhancement.

 

Nen Abilities: He doesn't have a Hatsu yet, but he has mastered Ren and can punch things really hard.

@Jekkusormi

Just wanted to confirm that "Strong Will" means that things like manipulation abilities or mind control don't have as much effect on Kuin, right? That is what I was assuming it meant. 

 

@Blue22

I would suggest switching out "Intelligent" for a different trait since we have an Intelligence stat. Maybe something like being able to hold your breath for a longer than expected and/or can move under water faster than most? Just ideas. 

 

@Jinx

Okay, added him. I would say to change "Experienced Combatant" to something a bit more specific. Since I'm assuming that everyone at this stage is a somewhat skilled fighter with hand to hand or using weapons. So a suggestion would be like using Master Archer or Swordmaster (you could use both) to show that you excel in a specific area. 

 

Also yeah, that is fine. You don't need to use all the stat points right now. I might end up lowering it further still. 

 

@Oben

Added him, and it is fine you don't need to have a hatsu right now. You can create one later. 

[Jinx]

. I would say to change "Experienced Combatant" to something a bit more specific.

 

Alright, made an edit to that ^^

[Jekkusormi]

Just wanted to confirm that "Strong Will" means that things like manipulation abilities or mind control don't have as much effect on Kuin, right? That is what I was assuming it meant.

 

Yeah about that. I usually try to make myself into these games and turns out I'm more pessimistic than I thought and found it hard to find 2 positive traits. Thought about that Strong Will a bit and I realized I'm actually quite a pushover So I may actually replace Naive with Easy to Manipulate and add 2nd good Trait after I first figure out what it might be

[Hyouzou]

Quick question Shin, could I use the grave robber hatsu I PM:d you about (with eventual side-powers, not necessarily the ones included), or is that too OP?

[Shin]

Yeah about that. I usually try to make myself into these games and turns out I'm more pessimistic than I thought and found it hard to find 2 positive traits. Thought about that Strong Will a bit and I realized I'm actually quite a pushover So I may actually replace Naive with Easy to Manipulate and add 2nd good Trait after I first figure out what it might be

 

No problem. Originally I was going to make everyone come up with 5 traits, but I found it kind of difficult to come up with 5 after toying around with it, lol. So I lowered the limit to 3 but people can still come up with up to 5. I do like the Historian trait though. 

 

I guess it is good to look at the positive Traits as something you know or can do well. Like with Great Historian you came up with if we go to a place or stumble across something that has some historical value I'll give your character more hints to benefit them.

@Hyouzou 

 

It is a bit like Chrollo's ability, but I'll let you have it if you put a few more conditions on it. Like you have to have seen the ability being used before they died maybe. So you have to be aware of what the ability is beforehand. I do like the addition of you having to have known their name and the object you take had to have some sentimental value. Those are good. Also so it doesn't get too OP I think you can't use a nen type that isn't in your stats. Like if you want to use abilities that cover 3 different nen types then you would need an 8 in your Nen stat, or abilities that cover 4 then you'd need a 9.  

 

Also now that I'm filling in the details of some of the NPC characters I was going to PM you that I'll probably use some of the abilities and characters you came up with. I did like the Nook character and his poison ability. It made me immediately think of the villain with the patchy skin in Boku no Hero and I was going to use him as a design template. 

[Hyouzou]

@Shin — I actually had a character modelled after Dabi for my Superpowered RP. Can I have some pre-determined Hatsus to go with Grave Robber or do you want it to be a blank slate and I can only use abilities I get during the RP? If the former, how many (and could I do the Scarlet Eye thing I wrote about to circumvent the Nen stat efficiency thing)?

 

I'm not sure I actually want to do Grave Robber, just feeling out my options. I might just do a super simple transmuter/enhancer who can make their aura sharp, kinda like Daz Bones in One Piece. There's a lot you could do with a simple ability like that (shaping the aura, coating things with it, emitting it..), or maybe the Geometry Hatsu I wrote you about (I like the idea of a Conjurer that doesn't just use 1 object but lots of simple ones more akin to a transmuter. Feels like a Hatsu an absolute beginner would learn from a textbook, before they get good enough to make something complex and personal). So many choices, so much doubt.

[Hyouzou]

Alright here's a CS. I made all of this in one sitting, so I apologize if something is weird (it's 5 am here, need to sleep now).

 

Spoiler Test tube Tommy

Examinee #436

 

Name: Moa [Mow-ah] 

Age: Looks young-ish

Appearance: Moa is severely disfigured due to his background. It (from now on referred to as he, since I know I will fuck up and accidentally say that anyway) has no hair whatsoever on his body, and he has stitches all over with different colorations and textures of skin in different places, as if he was sewn together from ten vastly different beings. His head is bald and round (besides the scarring and stitching), with the upper left quarter purplish-red with skin like leather, the border of which goes right through his left eye.The eyes are round, a little bigger than average and often very blankly staring, as if there was no mind behind them. His mouth is small and seems fairly normal, contrary to the rest of him. It is, however, lined with beastly teeth and a long, purple tongue, although both are rarely seen since he doesn’t raise his voice or bare his teeth. His arms are slightly longer than normal, especially the forearms, and more of the skin on them is scaly, thick and tough compared to the rest of his body. His spine is very visibly showing on his back, lined with holes where tubes have been attached.
  He is somewhat shorter than most people are, pretty slim, and his very expressionless face and demeanor say very little about what, if anything, is going on inside of him. His gender is hard to discern from his appearance, but due to the fact that he appears bald, is most often presumed male.

Personality: Moa lacks any sort of real-world understanding, and so will at most times be painfully naïve, gullible and uneducated. He is however very intelligent and learns very quickly. While he has acquired some social skills recently, he can still be very confused by the way people act and talk, having trouble with things like idioms and norms. The little that can be said about his actual personality (besides having a child’s impressionable mind) is that he is very stubborn once he has decided on something, but on the other hand rarely gets worked up about anything to that point. He is for the most part quiet and simply observing, often appearing stupid to others because of this and because of his blank expression, but in a situation that demands it he can be quite logical and clever. Overall, he is basically the quiet freak that stands next to the guy you’re actually talking to. He seems to still be shutting out some pretty big portions of the human emotive spectrum. Perhaps there will come a time of great psychological pain that will unleash his full rage and sadness (hint hint).

Reason for Taking Hunter Exam: To explore the world!

Character History: Moa is an actual test tube baby. No, not the kind you’re thinking of. Deep inside a major laboratory, experiments were held on living humans. Mostly fetuses, some orphans, some lunatics, a couple inmates. Moa was there from the start, as a little drop of sludge in a test tube. He turned out to be the only real success the scientists would have, and only after countless surgeries. Experiments to alter his genetic code, to re-wire his brain, to re-structure his anatomy. There were few parts of his human body that were not mutilated and made to function differently.
  Most of his social interactions were with the head scientist responsible for him, Requine, who had one goal in mind for Moa: To artificially engineer a Specialist. Parts of different renowned Nen users were grafted into Moa, both actual tissue and coding in their neural pathways into his brain. He would be the trial and error subject, the breadboard for testing out different ideas. The ultimate success of the project could have changed the world — growing Specialist-class soldiers in a lab. Mass-producing geniuses to sell for billions. But this never happened. While Moa was still being experimented on to ensure that the first true commercial test tube soldier would be perfect, the laboratory was bombed. Though still unclear, it seems to have been a premeditated attack by an opposition, perhaps liberators against the inhumane acts, perhaps mercenaries hired by competitors. Because of his enhanced constitution, Moa was never in mortal danger. He simply sat still with wires still sticking out of him while people were burning to death around him. His skin singed, but he wasn’t wired to feel pain. He knew the feeling, chemicals in his brain released that told him to avoid the fire. And so he did. For the first time in his life, he tried to leave. It was normally impossible, the place was a maze — he hadn’t even tried to before. His mind didn’t work like that. He never saw himself as captive, as a prisoner. This was simply his life, and he had not for a second questioned it. But now he did. Now his clean slate of a brain was subjected to thousands of fresh inputs, from the way fresh air felt to breathe, to how the sunlight felt on his skin, to how open the landscape was.
  Moa had no recollection of time up until and including that point. For his entire life, he had not kept time. His first time in the real, outside world was similar. He did not know for how long he stood still in the forest, taking in all the impressions. His brain didn’t start functioning as a human’s would until he met people. Wanderers, travelers. Vagabonds of no home. They took care of him until his mind could wrap around everything. They taught him about the world, about what people are like and what you as a person can do. He knew how to talk already, but for him, the entire concept of a ‘world’, of a self or of having a choice were long too abstract to comprehend.
  Coming out of this brain meltdown, or ‘birth’, Moa would roam around for a while with these vagabonds, but due to their age and status as outcasts, they were far too afraid to venture out into the places that intrigued Moa the most. So came the day when Moa met Carabine, a seasoned Hunter who had a slight history with the vagabonds. He unknowingly sparked the first true ambition inside Moa — to become a Hunter. As a Hunter, you could do anything! See everything, go everywhere. To really explore what this world is about, that is the place you need to be. And so, shortly following meeting Carabine, an exhilarated Moa left the vagabonds to find and pass the Hunter Exam.

 

Stats: 25/25

Strength: 5

Speed: 5

Intelligence: 4 (Low because: All in reasoning, not knowledge)

Perception: 4 (Low because: All in senses, not reading people)

Nen: 7

Traits:

Modified — Moa’s body has been tampered with so much that he can hardly be called human. He lacks a scent, doesn’t sweat, has strange or even lacks different bodily functions and organs, and his senses, brain function and musculature is at peak human levels. His stamina allows him to continue doing tasks for long periods of time, ignoring sleep or fatigue, and his anatomy makes him more resilient against injuries. It does however come with many side-effects that can be hard to predict, like bad fine motor skills, bouts of complete mental shut-down or sudden extreme fatigue. Periods of high strain (such as combat) could incapacitate him afterwards for a long time due to this. An inconvenient but mostly comedic side-effect is also spontaneous ruptures of his stitching or even limbs falling off, but due to his constitution these aren’t always actually dangerous. He doesn’t actually know or understand what his body can do, but for the most part it’s small things like this — he is not(!) a super soldier with superhuman strength and speed. He’s just a trash can of potentially good ideas.

Nen Soldier — Moa is a Specialization Nen user. This is partly the reason why he was the only one on whom the experimentation worked on: His natural ability allowed him to assimilate the Nen of the foreign tissues grafted onto him. As a result, he can use multiple distinct abilities. Since these are still varying degrees of 'foreign' to his mind, his proficiency and the number of abilities grow at the same rate new synapses (nerve connections) can form between these. 

Fresh off the boat — Moa hasn’t been in the real world for very long, and is therefore unaware of mostly anything. He lacks an education and can only make up for his ignorance in every subject with his intelligence and aptitude for learning. He is very gullible and fails to understand most social queues and expressions, he knows little to nothing about history, technology, geography, etc… Since his mind is still fresh to even the most basic concepts, he can occasionally suffer from complete brain fry where he can’t process things at all. Therefore, he requires time to wrap his head around situations before he is able to analyze them and use his reasoning skills.

 

Fighting Style: Moa isn’t really trained in fighting techniques (although the scientist have done some kind of fighting tests with him to see how different modifications worked out — but no training of any kind!), but both his mind and his body were partly made for combat (due to being the prototype of a lab-grown soldier), so his instincts can kick in and perform impressive feats. He still lacks proper understanding of danger, risk and reading his opponent, so he would be more akin to a roided up baby with a shotgun than an actual fighter. His body does however allow for a few mistakes because of its toughness, and once he has gotten a chance to understand the situation, he can analyze the opponent and quickly evolve during the course of the battle to improve. His greatest weakness is therefore facing unknown dangers with the potential of knocking him out quickly, since simpler fighters who can’t overwhelm him will only give him the time he needs to out-grow them in skill.

Weapons & Equipment: - - -

Nen Type: Specialist

Nen Abilities:

 

Cannibalism

Nen Type: Specialization

Nen Description: Moa's inherent ability. His Nen is eternally hungering for more power, and therefore attempts to consume any Nen it comes into contact with. His aura will therefore absorb other auras in order to grow in strength.

   At the time, this is limited to whenever Moa comes into physical contact with another person, although it can apply through various techniques such as Ko, Shu and Ken, but at the moment Moa cannot absorb any Nen from conjured or transmuted objects, nor from people who are deploying Zetsu. Moa's Aura Power has to surpass the Aura Power of the victim for the power to work — although this only has to be true for the involved parts of their aura (e.g if Moa's hand is touching someone's head, he can apply Ko in his hand and therefore surpass his opponent's Ten, unless they apply Ko around their head. In that case, the stronger aura wins).

 

Geometry

Nen Type: Conjuration

Nen Description: A power stemming from one of the many bodies Moa is made out of. It allows him to conjure basic shapes (like cubes, pyramids or spheres) out of Nen. These can be used as road blocks, as shielding, or as footing. They appear first as small versions in his palms, whereafter they expand into big structures, at most around 8 cubic meters (26 ft³), which would let him create a sphere 2 meter in diameter, or a cube with 2 meter long sides, or even a 2 meter high wall, half a meter thick and 8 meters wide.

   Only one object can exist at any given time. Its resilience scales with Moa's Aura Power, and behaves like rock if destroyed. The expansion of the objects can be used for offense, but the miniature versions cannot be thrown before expanding. The objects can be hidden with In, making them invisible but still tangible.

@Hyouzou

 

I like the Moa name over Mio I think. Since it sounds a bit more feminine and adds to the mystery of people not knowing what he is exactly given his appearance. 

 

Also very interesting character. I'll allow the character to have the Frankenstein’s monster nen abilities. If you need another trait you can use that for your 3rd one and separate it from the Modified body one since it is dealing with a very specific thing, but like with the Grave Digger ability if you want to use abilities from multiple nen types you'd need the stats for it. As for the number of abilities you can have I think I'll put the cap on 3 or 4. A neat reason for that might be because there are 3 main parts of the brain, but that is just a thought. Although I wouldn't want all the abilities to be too over powered, so I might limit some of them, but it depends on what you want to use. Looks good so far though!

 

It will probably take a bit for nen abilities to become really important in the RP. So people can keep working and changing them while the first stage is going on. So I'm willing to let players to change their character even while the RP starts for a bit.

 

 

@Shin — I actually had a character modelled after Dabi for my Superpowered RP. Can I have some pre-determined Hatsus to go with Grave Robber or do you want it to be a blank slate and I can only use abilities I get during the RP? If the former, how many (and could I do the Scarlet Eye thing I wrote about to circumvent the Nen stat efficiency thing)?

 

I'm not sure I actually want to do Grave Robber, just feeling out my options. I might just do a super simple transmuter/enhancer who can make their aura sharp, kinda like Daz Bones in One Piece. There's a lot you could do with a simple ability like that (shaping the aura, coating things with it, emitting it..), or maybe the Geometry Hatsu I wrote you about (I like the idea of a Conjurer that doesn't just use 1 object but lots of simple ones more akin to a transmuter. Feels like a Hatsu an absolute beginner would learn from a textbook, before they get good enough to make something complex and personal). So many choices, so much doubt.

 

With the Grave Robber ability I would probably say no to the Kurta Scarlet Eyes as being one of the abilities. Since it can be so broken. Like with the Frankenstein's monster nen abilities I would allow you to have a few predetermined ones, 3 to 4, but nothing too overpowered. I always liked how Chrollo had that random flying indoor fish ability which was so bizarre, lol. Some for the Rosso's character in the PM were a bit too OP like you thought they might be. Although I might swipe the Grave Robber ability and some of the stolen abilities for a villain character I'm working on if you don't want to use it. When I finish the character I can show you him in the PM. 

[Hyouzou]

@Shin — Sounds great! I'll give him three, maaybe four pretty simple powers, maybe one of them more complex (like a conjuration ability with some conditions). I'd love to see your ideas for 'my' characters! If you don't want to use the Pollution ability, I'd like to use it for Moa. As for the name, both Mio and Moa are names used for men and women (in Sweden and Japan, at least), but both mostly for women. I think I agree with Moa, though. Mio sounds slightly cuter and s/he isn't cute.

 

Oh, and the intelligence and perception thing. I want my character to be smart but not knowledgeable, and to have enhanced senses but be pretty gullible and bad at social skills. Are the stats I put OK for that or can they be lower while retaining those portions?

 

A question about the Nen. If my character is an amalgam of, let's say, an Enhancer and a Conjurer: what would his Nen type be? Perhaps I need to make him more of one type and use that one? Or can he be classified as Specialist just because he's such a freak that traditional categorization doesn't really apply? Perhaps the conflicting parts of him mess stuff up and when he does the water divination test something weird happens, which would normally mean Specialist. I'll type up a 'prototype' and let me know if it's overpowered or in other ways not what you want.

 

Edit: Oh, and a thing I noticed that I think is strange: You let people use En at just level 4? To me, En feels like something people above 6 should be able to use. The only ones who have used it in the manga have been very powerful people who know the level 6 things.

@Hyouzou

 

Feel free to use the Pollution ability if you want it. I wouldn't want to take anything that you'd want to use for your characters. I'll write down in the PM the things I was thinking about using so you know where I'm at with them. 

 

I'd switch the Intelligence and Perception stats if that is the case. Since I guess I'm saying the Intelligence stat is more for general knowledge you know about the world and information learned from books and studying, so like a doctor or scientist would need high intelligence, and Perception is more a person's awareness of their surroundings and how quickly they can pick up new things, along with reading people and situations too. So having heightened senses would need a high Perception stat. Although they don't have to just be these things. Sort of just a general guideline and you can have a high perception and have low social skills. 

 

Yeah, I'd say just call him a Specialist as that is an easy catchall for it, but if you really want one of the other types then I'd say that while he is like a Frankenstein's monster and made up of other parts and abilities he still only has one general consciousness and means he only has one main nen type. So maybe he has 3 nen abilities made up from other people, but his 4th ability is his own he created for himself? Or maybe he is in the process of creating an ability for himself and it isn't complete yet. 

 

Okak, I might switch En around. I only put En with the other two since it was introduced in the story before Green Island where the other 4 were introduced during. Though I guess only the Troupe used En before GI and they were all advance nen users.

Spoiler and this face.

http://images2.wikia...nev_EP01_01.jpg

Personality: He is a guy that keeps to him but is friendly to everyone. He has a nice smile and people have a warm feeling when talking to him. He is very soft spoken and can easily disappear in a crowed. He is a person that it feels like you can talk about anything.
Reason for taking the hunter exam: Wants to travel the world to meet new people and animals
Character History: At a young age his family was traveling inside of a forest when a bunch of bandits attack and killed his family and the people he was traveling with, he was left alone in the forest because the bandits was taken out as well. For hours he was alone with no one to talk to or be with until a random forest Magical Beast comes up and shelter him. In that time alone he was alone and afraid. The Magical Beast took him and trains him to be a warrior. Jeter learns that everyone and everything have both a good heart and a nasty one. He wants to meet good people and kill the bad ones.
Stats
1. Strength – 2/10
2. Speed – 3/10
3. Intelligence – 6/10
4. Perception – 7/10
5. Nen – 7/10
Weapons: none
Traits:
Good with animals and people
Easy going
Timid and weak willed, he doesn’t like to fight
Nen type: Conjurer

Nen abilities:
1. Dreaded: It is a conjurer type attack where jeter attacks you greatest fears. They cannot hurt anyone but while a person is cowering and fear. Jeter attacks when they are most vulnerable.
2. Ancient Beast: another conjurer attack where jeter summons the 4 ancient beasts of china and he mix with them. They all have low attack power but that isn’t the point of this ability. They are made to hide jeter while hid inside of one of the summons. He doesn’t stay inside one of them he keeps moving around looking for a chance to strike. He is looking at the long game acting like a predator waiting for his prey to be at its weakest before attacking.
Fighting style: do not let his personality fool you. He isn’t timid in his fighting style he is someone that talk much but when he does it is mostly in a fight. He is trying to find your worst fears and exploit them. He doesn’t like to have a fair fight he wants every advantage he can get. He is like a ninja that wants to fight from the shadows but is more likely to tire someone. He doesn’t mind hiding for hours at a time.
