NPC Name: Hisoka Morow

NPC Source: Hunter x Hunter

Character history: An enigmatic figure, Hisoka is reticient about discussing his past, stating that he has "no interest in it." At best guess, it is suspected that Hisoka was once upon a time an adopted member of a traveling circus. At some point during this period, he was taught the basics of Nen by the circus' ringmaster, who was then soon murdered by Hisoka before he left their care.

Ren (Tier 2 Powerup) - Ren (練, Refine; Enhance) focuses on outputting a larger amount of aura than Ten, projecting it outwards explosively. This amplifies the user's physical strength and durability and provides a large pool of aura for any advanced techniques or individual skills they decide to use, albeit at the cost of expending said aura. One can train their Ren to extend its duration and increase the amount of aura at their disposal.

If Ten is considered purely defensive, Ren can be regarded as its offensive counterpart, although it also grants the user vastly enhanced defensive abilities.

Weapon: Playing Cards.

Hisoka's weapon of choice is a set of ordinary French playing cards, which he uses in combat to lethal effects by wielding or throwing them in conjunction with his Shu. The cards have white borders, with a checkered pattern composed by small, light and dark fuchsia squares.

With the aid of Shu, Hisoka can turn his cards into mortal edge weapons or projectiles. He employs them by targeting his opponent's vital spots, generally the throat, but also to incapacitate them by severing their tendons. He can throw them with deadly accuracy and speed, potentially reaching a maximum of ninety miles an hour, consistent with a professionally thrown fastball. Thrown cards begin to lose speed after ten meters, but maintain a straight trajectory until thirty meters, after which they are no longer able to sustain enough speed, and fall. Hisoka tends to incorporate his cards in surprise attacks with Bungee Gum. (Requires: Physical Strength and Ranged Proficiency) (Cost: 600 OM)

Hatsu Ability
Bungee Gum
(Elastic Love)

Hisoka's main ability allows him to make his aura sticky and elastic. Its extreme durability, flexibility and adhesive properties make it an exceptionally versatile ability with several offensive, defensive, and supplementary applications. He can activate it from his fingers, hands, and feet. He can attach it both through physical contact and remotely, by extending it towards the target, which can make it very difficult to avoid. He can give it the command to contract at will, and it snaps back with greater force the more it is stretched. It is extremely resilient, allowing it to absorb the kinetic energy and stretch before returning that energy in the direction of its sender, making it an effective defense against projectiles, and can be shaped to any desired length, though it loses more resilience the further it is extended from the body.  

Offensively, Bungee Gum can be used to pull the opponent towards Hisoka, or to create flail-like weapons. He can also separate it from his body - most commonly to attach projectiles to his opponent, such as his Shu-enhanced cards, while concealing it with In. The combination of the latter technique and Bungee Gum allows Hisoka to lay multi-layered traps that spring all at once.

Bungee Gum also has a wide range of auxiliary applications. Hisoka can attach it to a solid surface to retreat at extreme speed when the need arises. By using it on his feet, he can adhere to the ground or run on walls. It is also useful for sticking objects in place for traps, or to keep hold of them, even after throwing them. By covering a wound with it, he can instantly stop hemorrhages. (Requires Elasticity, Basic Regeneration, Ranged Proficiency, Physical Proficiency, Homing Proficiency, Remote Control Proficiency) (Cost: 1200 OM)

Hatsu Ability
Texture Surprise
(Flimsy Lies)

By passing his hand over an object, Hisoka can apply his aura to any smooth, flat surface, such as paper or cloth, and manifest imagery on it to change its appearance and texture for deception. He can replicate over one thousand different textures. He has tricked Nen users of the Spiders' caliber with this ability, with none of them realizing he had used it, either by sight or by touch. It can also be applied to pure aura, such as Hisoka's Bungee Gum, to alter his own appearance, and can affect a maximum of a few meters squared of material per application.

Since no aura is detectable once Texture Surprise is active, its effects are also visible to individuals unable to use Nen. Furthermore, entities possessed of Enhanced Senses are able to discern a certain 'fakeness' to things coated with Texture Surprise. (Cost: 300 OM)

In - In (隱, Conceal) - is an advanced form of Zetsu used to render one's aura imperceptible, effectively concealing it. Unlike Zetsu, however, In does not stop the user's aura flow; instead, it hides it, making it difficult to perceive Nen abilities with any of the five senses. This is even true for those possessing Enhanced Senses - although in this case the effectiveness of In diminishes the closer an observer is to Hisoka's Technique stat. When an Enhanced Senses user matches or exceeds Hisoka's Technique, a nen object concealed by In becomes visible.

Because of its abilities, this technique is used for launching sneak attacks or laying traps, as it can conceal Nen constructs generated with Emission, Transmutation, or Conjuration abilities. In Hisoka's case, he uses In to conceal his Bungee Gum, attaching it to an unaware opponent. Despite its usefulness, however, In is not without cost: the focus required to both cloak and use a Nen ability at the same time is more physically and mentally draining than it would be to simply use the ability on its own.

- Bungee Gum

Special: In can be countered completely by Gyo, or any similar move that boosts the effect of Enhanced Senses, regardless of Tech disparity. (Requires: Stealth, Suppression) (Cost: 300 OM)

Shu - Shu (周, Enfold) is an advanced application of Ten. Shu allows a user of Nen to enshroud an object with their aura, allowing them to use that object as an extension of their own body. For example, one could use Shu to extend their Ten around a weapon, which would strengthen and protect it. Hisoka uses this technique primarily to sheathe his playing cards in his Nen, turning them into deadly weapons (see Weapon: Playing Cards for Hisoka's application of this technique in that case), but it can also be used to create improvised weapons from the environment if the need arises, without having to worry about their inherent durability. This technique allows one to, for example, block a standard sword attack with a plastic spoon, or send weaker fighters flying with a strike from a stick.

The size of items that can be enhanced is, as a rule, limited by the Nen user's proficiency, with Hisoka's ability beginning at the low end of the scale - everyday objects like coins and utensils - and reaching all the way up to two-handed weapons like polearms. The time it takes to coat an object is dependent on its size, as well, with a mere instant required for small objects, and several seconds for large, heavy blades. While larger objects than that are theoretically possible, without being a specialized Nen-type (such as an Emitter) and having training, it is regarded by Hisoka as a waste of time. Even if you could mold your aura around such large objects - like an entire table, for example - it would be extremely awkward to wield as a weapon. And if your intent was to use such an object as a shield, the Nen and time expended could have been easily used to remove yourself from the threat in the first place.

These objects can also be thrown, and retain their coating for several seconds after being removed from contact with Hisoka's aura. (Cost: 1800)

Why does this character have to be a prime?
Hisoka is a sadist that gets his rocks off on fighting (and killing) strong individuals, which could play interestingly if he's stuck in a world where the strongest, including himself, literally cannot die. Also I might use him later, and if he dies in DA, that would be difficult to do if he wasn't a Prime.

What role do they play in your story?
He might not, because I'm making him specifically for DA18. However, as a Nen-user, he could play a role of teacher and antagonist in Belle's personal story down the line.
