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


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

<Snipped quote by Renny>

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


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

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

Oh okay, lol.


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

(I have made a change to the CS. A stat system similar to the one on the The Wikia. Look up any relevant character, scroll to the bottom of their respective page, and I'm sure you'll find a set of stats for them similar to the layout I've provided. This is not precise, its more of an overview. A measure of who might be stronger or not.)

  • The Magician -- Okay, I totally see what you mean when it comes to Sora not being able to do such feats with her Nen at such a young age. So, how about I do you one better? The Magician within tarot cards is known to be able to wield the elements at their disposal, but instead of having Sora be able to do that, The Magician could give her the power to teleport? Very similarly to Knov and his Hide and Seek? But instead of it being super expansive with the separate floors and such, her teleportation acts more like the portal gun in the Portal games? I think this would still be under Conjuration and I wouldn't be against changing Sora's Aura type to make it more believable? And if this still isn't okay, I could have her start with a much more simpler card and go with that?
  • Judgement -- Much like what I said before, I could always just change her Aura Type to Conjurer since she seems to be going in that direct anyways. And with the whole Zetsu situation, since it wouldn't be possible without vows and limitations set upon it, and that I can't think of any that could be set, it could be more like the card instead releases a burst of Nen indicating that said person lied? Then again, like the last one, I could have Sora just start with a simpler card and go with that.
  • Strength -- Really? Harsh punishments just to enhance the whatever the card is touching, making it stronger? Maybe I could restrict the kinds of objects that Sora can strengthen? Would that help? And like the other two, I could go with a different card.
  • Sora won't go through baptism. She'll take the months to open up all the nodes and such.
  • I'm cool with changing her aura type and such, but now that we've been going through Sora's nen ability, the more I think it might just be better to change it? I don't know, I just doesn't seem like it's coming together...I'll wait for your response to this, but I'll still think of some other Nen abilities that could fit her. Oh, and I don't think you're being a hardass. I happy that you're taking the time to help me get my character to ore a believable state. So don't worry about criticizing my stuff, really ^^

Easiest way to include all of this without changing your Nen Abilities is becoming a Conjurer. They have a 1% potential of becoming a Specialist which can be have unique effects not particularly governed by the pre-existing rules.

She can be a Conjurer with her cards being her main weapon.

If you choose to use real cards they'd be less likely to be suspected of being a Nen Ability but they'd also run out eventually. You'd have keep stock of them. You'd also have to store whatever element you'd like to use inside said card. If you choose Nen tarot cards, they'd be more suspect to a Nen user of adequate skill. You'd also have to know the element intimately, which means learning the elements intimately with all your senses. However you could add some form of nuance to your attacks since their Nen.

This is totes up to you.

You might not have to be a Specialist to do all of this now that I think about it. I believe Sora was just in the wrong aura group.

@OneStoryToMany I've decided after a day of deliberation that you can go ahead and drop your CS in the accepted tab. I'm positive now that your character is one of the few I'll choose for this RP. All you have to do is add in this small bit at the end of your CS

[b]Stats |[/b] ([i]Be sure to delete after reading. Grade yourself accurately, If I feel any changes should be made I will intervene.[/i])

[list][*][i]Spirit[/i] - [b]0/5[/b]
[*][i]Skill[/i] - [b]0/5[/b]
[*][i]Strength[/i] -[b]0/5[/b]
[*][i]Talent[/i] - [b]0/5[/b]
[*][i]Nen[/i] - [b]0/5[/b]
[*][i]Intelligence[/i] - [b]0/5[/b][/list]


Fill it out, mention me after you're done and allow me to take a gander at it.

@Renny Alrighty, I fixed up my form. Hopefully I've got it right this time? I'm a little iffy about her stats though. I made her talent and Nen 3, but maybe it should be 2 instead?

@LemonZest1337 Yes, you're accepted. Drop that CS in the Character Tab.

@Tenma Tendo And yes, you're accepted. On your part, if you use your Nen ability on one of the PCs, be sure to get some info from them so that you'd have an accurate representation of their activities. Whether it be vague or detailed just make sure you get the go ahead from the PC before assuming activities. With that said, you both may go ahead and post your characters in the Character Tabs thread.



I invite @Tenma Tendo @OneStoryToMany @LemonZest1337 to judge my character the way I judged theirs. If something in his history or abilities seem unreasonable or unlikely let me know. If I receive no complaints within a day, I'll be dropping this character in the Character Tab.

Sorry for the silence on my end! I work 3rds and caught up on my sleep forcefully (I passed out for like 12 hours woke up went to work and repeated :p) Thank you for saying you'll accept my character pending those additions, but due to your initial concern with her I've decided to update a few things so when I fill out the stats I'll update those things as well.

Hopefully you'll feel the same about her at that point! But lemme look into these stats, I don't know them currently and would like to make sure I put accurate numbers down. Gimme until the afternoon to make these changes.

Now your character is a nice tight little bundle. I like him, a genius who learned the skills on his own. I fear ny poor little girl won't keep up :p lmao

@Renny I edited my post. Tell me if this works. And to clarify her baptism, the idea is she had opened some but not all of her aura nodes which is what prevented worse injury. Does this work better in your eyes? Also, aged her up a few years to try and make her being trained make at least some extra sense. Otherwise she's gonna go be a Zoldyck butler who runs away from home cause they're batshit insane.

@OneStoryToMany The stats are fine with me. Spirit is enthusiasm, how excited they are about their ambitions or goals. Mostly their ambition.
