Ask to Join Hunter x Hunter Roleplay Discussion

The Hunter Association, an organization responsible for testing and licensing those who have proven themselves to be worthy of the title "hunter". Through a rigorous exam, hunters have proven themselves to be the elite of humanity. One out of every 10,000 applicants on the hunter exam pass worldwide. For the chosen who do pass, they are granted rights to go anywhere, do anything, access invaluable data, or sell their license for a hefty price. Those who chose to live on the hunt track down priceless treasures, fight crime, find mystical locations, and discover wonders of the world. Are you among their ranks?

Nen is a technique used by living beings to manipulate their own life force. It's complex and very interesting for an anime power system. You must have basic experience in martial arts before learning nen. After having their aura nodes opened either manually or through contact with strong aura, one must master basic techniques to begin to grasp nen.

Ten, which is needed to control aura flow and keeping it from leaking from the body. This maintains vigor, slows aging, and protects from basic attacks. Zetsu, which suppresses aura and makes one nearly impossible to detect. Ren, which increases aura explosively and boosts physical attributes. And finally Hatsu, which is a personal expression of nen. Development of hatsu can allow the user to create their own nen ability.

There are 6 different aura types, each different from the other. Every living thing is born with one.
500

Enhancement can increase the efficiency and strength of ones body or an object ( i.e. strength enhancement). Transmutation changes the aura to mimic something else, like fire or electricity. Conjuration can create weapons and objects from nen. Emission can detach aura to produce energy attacks. Manipulation can control both animate (mind control) and inanimate (telekinesis) things. Specialists have abilities that don't fall within these categories. This can range from precognition to copying other abilities.

Everyone can learn every ability from their nen type, and varying amounts of techniques from others depending on their relative position on the chart. For example, enhancers can learn some emission and transmutation, even less manipulation and conjuration, and no specialization. Ironically, the more conditions and limitations you place on your nen ability make it more useful and powerful. If you've read this, say bungee gum in your application.

Nen Ability: (Include weaknesses, conditions, and nen type.)
Backstory: (Optional)

Name: Xiaodan Wei
Age: 17
Appearance: Wei is a tanned young man with a mostly shaved head, though short black hairs are visible. He stands at 6 feet and is fairly lean with a slim, solemn face and red eyes. He wears a traditional crimson changshan robe with red floral patters on the torso and leather tai chi shoes.
Personality: At a glance, Wei seems cold and apathetic. After devoting most of his life to martial arts, he lacks meaningful relationships with even his closest family. He is a perfectionist and very self conscious about his lack of social skills, which makes prone to apologizing profusely for the smallest of slip-ups.
Nen Ability: Protein
Protein is an enhancer ability which allows Wei to augment the keratin in his body, which accelerates the growth of nails, skin, and hair. He uses this to create razor sharp claws, tendrils, and enhance his skin's durability to a point exceeding most enhancers. By using transmutation his nen can mimic more nuanced forms of keratin, such as creating feathery wings to fly.
Backstory: Born the youngest in a very large and poor family, he originally took up martial arts to win tournaments and make money. He quickly fell in love with it and used it as a way to set himself apart from his many siblings. He was practicing in a shingen-ryu school in the city that held the hunter exams and decided to participate to test his strength.
Other: Skilled in hand to hand combat and has basic knowledge of aura due to his training in shingen-ryu kung fu.

This roleplay will take place shortly before the hunter exam, so most characters will know little to nothing about aura at the start.
Keep it PG-13 and follow Pokecharms guidelines.

Have fun!

-Abilities-
Nen Type: manipulation
Nen condition: surgically replaces fingernails with metal one's as nen condition to strengthen abilities healing/destructiveness of his "happy hands" ability.
Nen Abilities: "happy hands"(cellular manipulation), If the user makes contact with someone he can rapidly accelerate the bodies healing process (great if someone is wounded) or even attach limb if it has not been detached too long ,and the cells have died. He also cannot heal the dead or bring them back to life.
In addition to being able to accelerate the healing process he can also do the opposite, and cause rapid harm.
"sticky hands(nen tether)", the user can create a tether between the user and an opponent. The user can use the tether to pull the opponent close to them pull themselves towards the opponent. However the problem with this ability is that the opponent can also pull the tether thus making it a double edged sword. the tether can be broken ,but the more nen used to strengthen the tether means the harder it is to break it.

you're also missing a part but it looks like you have extensive knowledge of hxh so i'll let it slide. accepted.
p.s: cellular acceleration seems more like an enhancement ability to me. metal fingernails could be transmutation or conjuration.

The reason why I called it a manipulation nen ability is because he's physically manipulating the cells to do what he wants them to do. Whether that means healing the body or cause rapid deterioration of the body. Can enhancers enhance others or just themselves? I haven't watched hunter x hunter in a long time.

Dolphus will be using his 'Happy hands' ability for all sorts of reasons. patching up cuts, heal bruises or other injuries. Medic type stuff on average. Maybe even reattach a severed limb. I'm not sure how often he will use the offensive capability of his nen. Might be often or every so often. Maybe even less. He has his sword so he won't need to rely purely on his nen for fighting.

also the metal fingernails aren't conjured. He physically had his removed in place for metal ones which is permanent. He has gray metalic fingernails ,and I decided to use that as his nen condition to allow his abilities to work more effectively.
 
I see. A similar cellular acceleration ability was shown in the manga and classified as enhancement. Enhancers were shown to be able to augment other things, like increasing water volume during the test to judge which nen type you have.
 
acceleration was probably a poor choice of words on my behalf. The focus of his ability is that he controls the cells. He can reshape them if he wanted, he can make them attack each other ,or destroy harmful tissues in the body, manipulate force them to quickly regenerate ,or whatever creative idea he might want to do with them like switch the cells in someone's left arm with their right arm. (Which would be useless ,buuut it would make him a manipulator)
