  1. 1. What's your nen type? (Being a "natural" of two adjacent types is canon now apparently - that's why it's multiple choice).

...what nen type are you?

Ok so funny story I've taken the quiz multiple times, and I've got something different every single time. Most recently I got specialist, but first I got transmuter, so I have no clue.

Man y'all are seriously making me want to check it out

I can only watch anime at my cousin's house and right now i'm very slowly working my way through Kaguya-sama: Love is War, but when i'm done i'll try to convince them we should watch this cause it seems epic.

Yes do it Facepalm!! It was awesome!! The magic system is insane, and some of the fights are just...dude.

I don't think I've gotten this invested in anything in...well in a long time. It's so good.

Take a whole bunch of them. Let's see what happens.

:P

I love wasting spending my homework time doing this

Oki so I got transmuter twice, specialist once more, emitter once, and manipulator once.

I'm just a strange person I guess, but it looks like it's between transmuter and specialist, and I like both of those so... :D

Hmmm...I'll have to think on that.

Oh also, I like Alluka a lot, she's insane, and she and Killua had some moments that made me so very happy, honestly some of the best parts of the series were the two of them.

We love Alluka. My favorite character is Leorio

NO 

Nope nope nope

absolutely not

Leorio is the worst, I would choose Hisoka or Illumi or Komugi or literally anyone over him

Why???

HxH is a great manga crippled by a sporadic release schedule. Can't get into it knowing I'll be left wanting for more for months and months. Sad but the author has health issues so what can you do.

Alternatively, I really hope a new anime is made that continues up to the dark continent arc because that rust is baller content.

I dedicate these fanmade Nen abilities to The Emperor's Soul. It was such a beautiful story. I couldn't resist looking into its magic once again,

 

Nen ability name: Forgery (The Window to Man's Soul)

Nen type: All sub-abilities in Forgery use Specialization and Manipulation. Conjuration is used for some applications.

Description: Forgery is the unique Nen ability practiced by people born in the Rose Empire. Forgery is the art of altering the soul, with the goal of rewriting the past of objects or living people. The medium is soulstamps - stamps specially carved & imprinted with Manipulative orders. A Forger must carve the soulstamp and apply ink, and affix its seal onto the target. Knowledge on the target's background and history is required to make seals last.

Rules for all forms of Forgery

  1. Soulstamps must be carved by a Forger, and must have the proper seal.

  2. A Forger must apply ink to the stamp.

  3. Affix a mark to the target via the stamp's seal. The ability deactivates when the seal is taken off.

  4. The length of the stamp's effect depends on the degree of knowledge on the target's background and history. The more intimate the user's knowledge, and the closer the imposed past is to the previous past, the longer it will last.

Wannabe Forgers must fulfill two requirements before being granted the ability to Forge:

  1. Must be born in the Rose Empire's territory.

  2. Must learn mundane forgery.

 

Sub-ability: Resealing. It’s practiced by Rose Empire surgeons to repair physical damage to the body, by returning the body/soul to a past state. The Condition is that the Forger must possess intricate knowledge of the human body. They must know every sinew, vein and muscle. Interestingly, Resealing doesn't repair injuries to the mind.

Sub- ability: Remembering. Employed by the Empire's Heritage Faction to change common or decrepit objects into beautiful works of art. It can turn a plain urn into a beautiful vase, give a boring wall a nice appearance, or change a neglected table’s history so it’s cared for. Alternatively, objects can be Forged to induce a state of lesser quality. It can manifest deep flaws into a bed’s frame so it collapses, or make it so a floor falls in.

Sub-ability: Soulforging. Soulforging is very, very, very difficult and complex. It rewrites the past that’s within the souls of people, and is activated through a particular stamp called an Essence Mark. They can rewrite memories and history, grant new skills, create disguises by changing physiology, and change one's personality. Essence Marks typically take years to make, with the best only lasting about a day before deactivation. An Essence Mark of the famous Forger Wan ShaiLu, when applied to herself, lasts 26 hours. The Mark responsible for animating the body of Emperor Ashravan needs to be reapplied every morning.

Soulforging and the Marks are imposed with five Conditions

  1. The Forger must make and test out hundreds of soulstamps to ensure each will work. Each stamp represents a small piece of the person’s history/personality.

  2. Re-carve the hundreds of stamps into smaller etchings. Combine the etchings into the lowest amount of test stamps you can.

  3. Combine the small amount of test stamps into a final stamp. The final stamp is the linchpin used on the subject.

  4. The Forger's group of test stamps are stamped onto a metal plate - a lattice of what was originally hundreds of stamps. The metal plate is linked to the linchpin stamp,

  5. For the Essence Mark to work, the subject must be stamped with the linchpin and be carrying the metal plate.

 

Nen ability name: Bloodsealing (Memory Without Language)

Nen type: Manipulation

Description: Bloodsealing is the unique Nen ability practiced by people born in Dzhamar. A Bloodsealer must have extracted fresh blood from a human being within the past 24 hours, and apply the blood to a stamp's seal. After 24 hours, the seal disappears.

A Bloodsealer can ink a door with the stamp's blood, crafting a ward to imprison the person the blood came from. The Bloodsealer will know when the person leave the room or alters the seal.

The other use of Bloodsealing are skeletals - skeletons reanimated by a Bloodsealer on the forehead. The process for creating skeletals is unknown, but they can track a person who's blood was taken within 24 hours. They stop moving if pivotal bones are damaged or removed.

Surely I'm not the only junkie here?

Nice to meet you fellow Hunter junkie! I've been a big fan of the 2011 anime for years, but never got around to the manga. I really should read it.

Okay

listen

 

Brandon Sanderson is an S-Tier magic system crafter. We know this. I am of the personal belief that Allomancy is one of the best magic systems ever created. Ever

And that pales in comparison to the one used in Hunter x Hunter.

Investiture ain't got  n o t h i n g  on nen. If Sanderson is an S-Tier magic system crafter, then Yoshihiro Togashi is on the level of gods. SSS-Tier, at the very least. He created a league of his own and then surpassed it.

 

It's just so good.

I think I agree with this, at least until I read Era 2. I love the Metallic Arts and Forgery, and how Sanderson wrote their mechanics and connection to gods. But Nen is something truly special. You can create virtually any ability with the right Contract.
