HxH: 108 Stars of Destiny [OOC/S/A]

[Dad]

Haven't been home to post. Will post asap.

[Maeriberii Haan]

So out of curiosity does the time of arrival (and therefore the number given) actually mean anything? Or is it just whenever people happened to show up?

It's the latter.

[Aix]

Three teams have been mostly decided. Two more teams of three should be created with space for an NPC. Speak up if you want to create one.

1. Sela, Emui, the two feesh

2. Alex, oil prince, Razia, Ryuuken

3. Arash, birbboy, Xiu, Tinman

 

So remaining we have Lettess, firebeast, Warden, Miaris, Nanika, and Ninsar.

 

EDIT: we'll have Lettess, Tai and Miaris be a team with an NPC.

[Aix]

I'd like to ask for volunteers to create a bunch of NPCs as possible. Feel free to make them really silly or fun. They'll be gone after a round or two, but maybe later in the story they can recur.

Like this?

 

Name: Bonnie

Age: 21

Sex: Female

[spoiler=Appearance]

5'7" 140 lbs

 

 

Personality: Bonnie is confident, perhaps overly so, and extremely proud of her abilities. She loves to flaunt this, and just show off in general. But she's got such high energy and such a bright smile, people tend to not mind most of the time. She desires to have the world know her skills, and is determined to do her best with no regrets. The one thing she hates most is liars and cheats, and she'll be in your face about if she thinks you've done either.

 

Abilities: Marksmanship: A great shot with her trusty revolver, though long range is a bit tricky. She's also a really quick draw.

Fit as a Fiddle: Training and an all around determination has given Bonnie quite the fit body. Very durable, quite agile, and decently strong.

Ride 'Em Cowgirl: Is as comfortable on a horse as on her feet.

Trappin': Can make a trap out of darn near anything.

Lasso of Truth: Can create ropes out of nen that has amazing durability, which she can use to constrict and ensnare her targets.

[Maeriberii Haan]

NPC whee

 

Name: Ibraz Absani

Age: 29

Sex: Male

[spoiler=Appearance]

 

Personality: Laid back, usually really wishing to simply enjoy and live for the moment. Can be cunning, but usually easily distracted. While not being an actual wildfolk, he puts the ears so he can get near the wildfolk girls easier, which he expected to find in abundance at the exam. Wants to be a Blacklist Hunter for some reasons or another. Not really minding hitting girls, in fact kinda enjoys hitting and being hit by them. Often make mocking remarks to people he finds irritating or people that doesn't seem to be able to take things easily. Can be pretty insensitive just for the sake of seeing other's reaction to it.

Abilities:

Enhanced Physical Capability: His abs aren't just for show. Weld like tempered steel, he is very durable and can lay some mean strikes on his own. He fights usually like a brawler. Can withstand bullets.

Smokebombs and decoys: For making it easier to approach his opponent.

 

idk

[Love of Ghibli]

Name: "En"

Age: ???

Sex: Male

[spoiler: Appearance:]

 

Personality: The meticulous lethal kind that one pretty expects a ninja to be like. Strong silent type, and silent in the sense that he literally does not talk as his vow of silence is to help strengthen his Nen abilities. He always makes sure to take the quickest and most efficient route to complete any action. In terms of emotional appeal and emotions in general...ninjas do not have those. En actually has mastered some of the aspects of Nen. In fact he was named after the ability that he mastered the best "En."

Abilities: Stereotypical Ninja abilities and ninja tools: 

• Substitution Jutsu
  
• Smoke bombs
  
• Hyper Agility
  
• Natural stealth (Zetsu)
  
• Nen basics + En (range of 20 meters)
  
• Technologically advanced cyber suit (it tells time and has messages of text on his for when he "speaks.")
  

[Raine]

Team Sundowner: 

 

[spoiler=Hyun Shi - The Duo-Dancer]

Name: Hyun Shi

Age: 20

Sex: Female

[spoiler=Appearance]

 

Personality: A born con-artist, Hyun is a girl from a far off land who’s been able to be fairly well-off utilizing her talents. She’s grown equally comfortable with the criminal underbelly and the corrupt nobility, as she’s moved up the ladder gifting her with a sociable, and clever personality. She’s witty and quick to joke about dire situations but understands more than most the price of failure when things get tough. She screwed up, and entered the exam out of  a need to get far away. She’s learned to protect herself and isn’t afraid to hurt others but she’s selfish to the point that shouldn’t lift a finger past what is necessary for her to get her way.

 

Abilities: Conjurer. Mad Walker- An amorphous creature is summoned, that has the ability to copy an appearance and simple ability. Normally, Hyun uses it on herself which makes it a clone of herself copying her weapon skills. Using this, she fighting alongside her clone both using identical weapons, (a dagger in the left hand and small mace in the right)  and fighting styles in sync. The combination is simple enough but devastating when she breaks guard and can handle multiple opponents for prolonged periods of time.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Rashad Nummal - The Temperature Prince]

Name: Rashad Nummal

Age: 29

Sex: Male

[spoiler=Appearance]

 

Personality: Rashad is child genius pampered and groomed by his village for their selfish means, and his rebellion to which defines himself. He is a selfish individual who believes all others do the same, but also narcissistic in believing his natural talent makes him better than those he ran across previously though he has never faced the competition of the exam. He does not see a need for mercy but also rejects playing wtih his meal. The msot direct path to victory lies with direct victory and minimizing liabilities. He is not overly confident, and is clever enough to use his unique abilty to his advantage against foes who outmatch him in terms of firepower.

 

Abilities: Manipulator: His specialty in atmospheric and kinetic energy manipulation, temperature. His ability allows him to use his nen as a massive heat sink, and absorb energy from his surroundings significantly dropping temperatures or directly sap heat from his targets by touch and freeze or frostbite parts of his opponents body. By the opposite effect, after his aura absorbs enough energy, he can release energy cindering his opponents through flames or steam. Maintaining a balance, the necessary flow between heat and cold has forced him to be a masterful user of his ability.

 

[spoiler=Leon Genezahal - Crash Devil]

Name: Leon Genezahal

Age: 17

Sex: Male

[spoiler=Appearance:]

 

 

Personality: Iro is an orphan who understands the most basic premise of survival of the fittest. He is desperate to a fault in ensuring he will never return to such a state but is proud of himself for leaving the hellhole he was born into. He has a Napoleon complex regarding his height and boyish looks, and in willing to engage in violence or yelling when people undermine him. His intentions are the most innocent of the groups but finds them agreeable for their respectable strength and their temporary need for a forward vanguard, that they found in him. He won’t willing fight  or act against his values unless he feels his status is truly on the line.

 

Abilities: Enhancer: Leon uses his nen to turn himself into a weapon of momentum. By focusing his nen into legs and using the remainder to reinforce his upper body, he turns himself into a self-described pinball. His fighting style revolves around charging his opponents with outrageous speeds and either tackling or attacking them with the force of his speed behind him. He’s careful to control his ground, and keep his distance with changing directions, but his standard Enhancer fighting style of defencive and offensive nen reinforcement are strong enough to keep himself from being vulnerable

 

 

*Team Leader*

[spoiler= Hikariganai - The Man without Light]

Name: Hikariganai

Age: 42

Sex: Male

[spoiler=Appearance:]

 

 

Personality: Less a man, than a man possessed. Whatever scarred this boy, did so young and deep molding a character that reflected the very real evils he drowned in. Irregardless, he is a driven character who is both opportunistic and maleficent, deriving himself from the greed and sin of the society around him. His resolve is firm that he can justify any and all actions by knowing the world is as dark as he is. He is social-adept, and espessially good at finding what makes others tick and taking advantage of their weakness, confident in his ability. His exact reason for joining the exam is unknown but given his strength, intellect, and resolve; he is undoubted a contender.

Abilities: Transmutter: Hikariganai excels at changing his aura into light, in fact, so much so that by changing his entire aura into light correctly, he gains invisibility as he can commute light around himself. His primary offensive weapon is concentrating his aura into a single point, and focusing it into a penetrating laser or spread offensive. Just as so, he can also release a blinding attack when he feels that playing dirty is required.

 

 

 

Team Queen and Aces

 

[spoiler=Jezel Al-Salan - Pyrotechnic Mistress]

Name: Jezel Al-Salan

Age: 26

Gender: Female

[spoiler=Appearance:]

 

 

 

Personality: Jezel is a fiery women, with no equal to her temper. She’s aggressive, and violent but surprisingly sweet to a select few. Being extraordinarily difficult to please, she’s always pissed about something making that known. Her personality is virtually the same in and outside of battle, with the exception that she seems to have fun more consistently in. She enjoys having her limits tested and finding people comparable to her, but she’s sloppy and carefree despite her talent. Her team is willing to give her a firm hand so she can be a terrible force when fighting.

Ability: Manipulator: Jezel’s element of choice is fire, but her use of it is unique. While she can turn her aura into flames at will, she tends to build up condensed flames around her forearms, releasing it in an explosion when she jabs. She also uses the flames to cloak herself and close distance forming the 2nd of the team’s forward fighters.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Render - Vassal of Bullets]

Name: Render

Age: 22

Gender: Male

[spoiler=Appearance:]

 

 

Personality: Render is a quiet man, who’s quite subservient. Sometime before the exam, he became the vassal of Jacklyn for an unknown reason. Although he is forced to refrain from vocal communication, his thoughts lay in his eyes which bear his wilder emotions. He bears a great deal of respect for his master, and indifference to any other but is quick to show anger or surprise in his expression, but tempered enough to restrain himself. In combat, he acts to the order precisely and sworn to silence won’t so much as groan in pain.

Ability: Emitter: Mass bullets, Render focuses any non-organic material around him into a small black sphere in either one of his hands which he can fire off at a fast velocity. The bullets change depending on how much material was used to create them, the bare minimum of sand or dirt, can create small bullets that are roughly equivalent to real ones. He can condense large or heavy material into the same size bullet and turn them into projectiles with the firepower of cannons. Render has unsurprisingly grown very talented at resource management when fighting.  

 

[spoiler= Piper Dirac - Tactical Scion]

Name: Piper Dirac

Age: 19

Gender: Female

[spoiler=Appearance:]

 

 

Personality: Piper is a mild mannered girl, and the youngest on the team. She tends to sstay on the backlines, and let Jacklyn, who’m she’s taken a liking to, speak on her behalf. She’s very intelligent both naturally, and socially, being particularly good at reading people and the sciences. She’s the team member who spends the most time in combat coming up with counters to team formations and abilities, making her potentially lethal opponent in long fights.

 

Abilities: Conjurer- Dilemma Evict: A summoning of a grand shields that is extremely light, and a seemingly endless pocket inside. The shield can conjure forth a wide variety of weapons, not at Piper’s whim, but a weapon that the shield decides would be best for the scenario, ranging from a sword, to spewing flames, to a mirror.

 

 

 

 

*Team Leader*

[spoiler= Jacklyn Nyquist - Hypersonic Princess]

Name: Jacklyn Nyquist

Age: 29

Gender: Female

[spoiler=Appearance:]

 

 

Personality:Jacklyn is a the heroine of this story, she’s a confident caring but efficient leader. Brilliant and resourceful, she’s hand picked the team herself, knowing their versatility and strength. She’s a kind soul, who shows mercy to those in need, and unforgiving of those who would rather take advantage of them. Her reason for taking the exam to to elevate herself, and those she trusts into positions of power as hunters to improve their influence and strength. She has piercing eyes which she credits for her ability to know whether people are trustworthy. In combat, she is honorable but quick to go full strength.

 

Ability: Manipulator: Jacklyn can turn her nen into waves, most usefully, sound waves. She’s a close-range fighter with long-range utility. The ability grants her unparalleled 360 degree secondary vision in sonar, and devastating attacks by long-range sonic booms by producing air pockets, or reinforcing her hand-to-hand combat with internal damage using high-amplitude waves.

Okay, let's do an interactive group combat RP thing. First, do your post, then at the end of the post, control an NPC to attack one of the players on your team. Feel free to extrapolate the personalities of the NPCs however you see fit, adapt them to your storytelling purposes. If you can't think of anything, you can just make the NPC throw a punch or something.

 

Let's be creative, shall we?

 

Note that all NPCs can be freely controlled. I ask that if you are posting first, you can only take out one NPC at maximum.

 

[spoiler=Raine made a bunch of NPCs and then I kinda just threw in the rest]

 

[spoiler=NPC abilities - Team Khaldro]

DJ Khaldro

• Sound-nullifying earbuds: Allows him to select what to hear.
• Hidden loudspeakers: lets him play music
• Nen Ability - Crazy Beat: A manipulation ability that makes anyone listening to his music to bob their heads to the beat. A sudden change in the beat causes one to lose balance.

Betty

• Earbuds: nullifies sound.
• Dynamic vision: able to see really fast moving objects and people
• Boxing Mastery: She has won many youth boxing championships.

Obsidia

• Earbuds
• Erratic fighting style: uses an unpredictable close combat fighting style, mainly consisting of low leg sweeps and kicks.

Felix Tight

• Earbuds
• Judo mastery: a fighting style perfect for someone who wants to suppress criminals so that they can face the law

 

[spoiler=NPC abilities - Team Muscle]

Minus-1

• Ice Blast: Creates a cold blast of energy that can freeze what it touches. Requires two seconds to charge
• Karate: high level of karate mastery, however, he mostly uses his Ice Blasts

Buffalo

• Unstoppable Charge: An extremely powerful tackle that you probably won't be able to stop. Perfect for pushing people out of the ring.
• Street fighting: proficiency in dirty fighting techniques

Ned Teach

• Dual Swords Mastery: Exactly what it says on the can... or whatever.

Kono Muscle

• Extreme Superhuman Strength: You are most likely not going to be able to take him on in a fair fistfight simply because of his above human strength capable of punching through walls. He is faster than he looks.

 

[spoiler=NPC abilities - Learistikk Brothers Team]

Edmund Learistikk

• Superhuman speed: he's faster than you and can basically shunpo.
• Super bite: for some reason, he prefers to bite people, however his bite hurts A LOT.

Just "Beaver" Learistikk

• Spinning martial arts: He starts spinning at really high speeds, making it difficult to approach him. While spinning he is capable of preventing himself from getting dizzy and control where he goes.

Tate Learistikk

• Super durability: While he fights pretty normally using an improvised fistfighting style, punching him feels like punching a rock.

Johnny Learistikk

• Whip-Lasso: Extremely competent at using his lasso either as a whip or a lasso. Lashes out with it really fast and it has very long reach. Extremely painful and has the power equal to a punch.

 

 

 

To be honest, most of these guys are above your level, but that's the fun of a shonen anime, right?!

[Aix]

PLEASE NOTE THAT EACH FIGHT HAPPENS ONE AT A TIME CHRONOLOGICALLY IC-WISE, HOWEVER WE WILL DO THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK YOU ALL JUST WANT TO SIT AROUND WATCHING EACH OTHER FIGHT.

[Aix]

I just want a quick reminder that GPS's don't exist in this world due to lack of satellites.

 

Sorry I've been inactive, I'll be completely back in action by Friday. In the meantime, go one without me.

[Aix]

So you guys have to go out and find things out by yourselves. Feel free to also take this time to interact and have a little fun together. Please plan your trip plans with someone else involved.

 

Things you will find out about the Exam.

• The direct route to the new unnamed ruins is around 80 km as the crow flies. However, that passes through a large danger area filled wiith rocks and cliffs where the "God of the Desert" is supposed to reside, a fearsome giant monster that no one is entirely clear about. There is radio interference there and very few people have made it out of there alive.
• The route around is approximately 160 km, twice the distance.
• The desert is not to be travelled at night. The spirits of the dead awaken and all sorts of other creatures are active then. Most well-known are Sand Ghouls, sand that was gathered into the form of a man.
• Various creatures still reside in the desert during the day, although they have given the city a wide berth.

[Aix]

Can we have everyone who is still going to participate in this RP just post here so I know you're here.

 

I'll write up a post today, like right now.

 

 

Another thing I'm considering is to do a big timeskip to the end of the Exam, just so that we can have some actual plot fully happening. Discuss.

[Maeriberii Haan]

That would feel like pretty cheap tbh.

 

I'd wait for others' opinion though. Also, won't a PM be better for this? Not everyone's subscribing to the thread.

[Yui]

Can we have everyone who is still going to participate in this RP just post here so I know you're here.

Another thing I'm considering is to do a big timeskip to the end of the Exam, just so that we can have some actual plot fully happening. Discuss.

As your cohost in the last iteration of this RP and the current one, a big timeskip might be best, as in the last RP we died off because of a vague part of the Hunter Exam, and this time we're slowing to a crawl because of - once again - part of the Hunter Exam. I usually don't approve of this kind of thing, but I make an exception here.

[Astolfo]

Hi, I exist.

Undecided about timeskip.

Mostly against it.

[Andx]

Hello yes still in this. As for time skips it may well be best to get plot going outside of just taking the exam.

 

That said if we can refocus the peoples we can probably at least get through this desert part before doing it.

[Love of Ghibli]

I am indifferent either way. I personally like the Hunter Exam portion of the RP, but if you want to go for some grander plot then do what you think is best.

[Aix]

Hmmmm, I think that I will end the Exam with this Desert portion, this was a part where the plot was going to slowly start anyway. I have thought of how it will go.

 

We should be able to get through the Desert, right? (erryone agree with me pls)

[Tesability Black]

I would like to be able to have Taikyu deal with something he's actually familiar with before the 'fast-forward' button gets hit on it. Last time, I wound up bowing out because of a situation that my character would not have been able to do anything about. (Being dropped off in the middle of water, which is a fast-acting liquid for ye is a bad, bad thing...)

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

I'm still here.

Unless we start abusing time skips. Because that's not the way to go. If we're not posting now, what makes you think we'll post with a time skip? The root of this problem, from what I can tell, is people don't like making posts without specific direction/instructions/events/challenges.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

I am also still around

 

Plus I have a completed app

[Tesability Black]

Still here and scheming.

 

Apparently, I needs to posties...

[Aix]

WHAT TO DO: Wrap up, like I did.

 

Discuss with your group whether to risk running through the Desert God's domain before the thing returns. According to intel that you would have gotten from the bazaar, it has returned within a few hours before, so it's a gamble and no one really stands a chance against a colossal dragon like that (although it's not inconceivable to run and hide from it).

 

Then, we'll press on.

 

The domain should only be up to 10 km from where you are. It's a mountainous area in the desert.
