Nen ability information
Name: Zaikaria
Ability: Endless Noise
Info:
Endless Noise allows Zaikaria to read anyone's thoughts. The ability is split into two sections Read and Alter.
Read - While focusing on one person's mind, she can read every thought as if they were her own. While reading, she must be no further than twenty meters, and she must touch them in order to start reading their mind.
Pros:
· She can plan around future attacks.
· Can play mind games.
Cons:
· Can only read one persons mind at a time.
· Hears every thought no matter what and can't shut out any of them out.
· Once someone figures out how the ability works, it becomes pretty much useless.
E.g. If a person can act differently to their thoughts, the ability is useless.
· If she changes, or removes the ability from whose she reading before making a mental note, she forgets everything she's read/heard from the person's mind.
· Another subset of the ability, which can also be considered pro, is if someone has a loud thought, this can confuse her immensely. For example:
E.g.1 - Killua is thinking of how much he really wants a ChocoRobo-Kun while she reading Daniel's thoughts. The thought will come into her mind, making her think that it was Daniel's own.
E.g.2 - Hisoka thinking of how much he wants to kill her while she is focusing on Daniel will alert her of someone's ill intentions.
Alter - This ability can be split into three separate abilities.
'Remove', 'Lock' or 'Change'.
All abilities require Zaikaria to be touching them at the time of altering. If she loses her grip, the ability is cancelled out and she has to repeat the steps. The consequences of the ability vary depending on which one she was using at the time but a common factor is loss of aura, during cancelation.
Remove:
Removing the thought is used as mostly attacking ability. If targeting a stronger thought, the ability can kill the person.
E.g. 1 - Removing a loved one from their mind.
E.g. 2 - Wiping the memories of their father's existence.
A more mild thought stuns them or leaves them confused.
Cons:
· If she loses the grip on the person while attacking a larger memory, it stuns them instead of killing.
· Requires a larger amount of aura to pull off and at maximum, depending on how many memories she's erasing, can be very taxing. At maximum strength, she can use it once to five times a day at full capacity.
· If the ability was cancelled through mid use, the aura she was using to wipe the memories is wasted, and only stuns them instead of killing.
Lock:
Locking a memory is the safest of her abilities. When she locks a memory, rather than forgetting it entirely and outright killing them, it gets pushed into the back of the mind.
E.g. Locking the memories of the person's father, makes them forget who their father is and memories of them, but the person still feel as though they've forgotten something dear to them.
The ability can be cancelled through Nen exorcism or if she just slaps them across the head with aura.
Cons:
· If cancelled, she has to repeat locking process and there's no loss of memory to the person targeted.
Change:
Changing can be used in two different ways to 'Create' or 'Modify'. When 'Creating' she creates a new memory within the person's mind.
E.g. making them think she was a long lost childhood friend.
'Modifying' allows her to alter a part of their memories.
E.g. changing the person's fathers name in their mind to make them think it's another name; like David instead of Luke.
Pros:
· Creating uses a smaller portion of aura.
· While creating, she automatically learns the memories as well.
· Modifying a memory can sometimes leave the person confused.
E.g. Making Killua think, his name is Gon, and Gon's name is Killua.
Cons:
· Modifying a memory uses a lot more aura and can decrease the amount of times she can use Remove or even if she can use remove for that matter.
· Creating can back fire if there's another person nearby that knows the targeted person's entire life, seeing that only the person she's targeting and herself are aware of the creation.
· Modifying a memory can backfire depending on the memory. If someone has forgotten something and she uses the ability to help them remember it, if cancelled, the person is left paralysed and unable to move at all.
Modifying can also be confused as a form of Nen exorcism.
For example, Kurapika used Judgment Chain on Chrollo;
Scenario one - She used this ability to make Chrollo Lucilfer forget about Kurapika's Judgement chain. Chrollo would still die from using his Nen, even without remembering Kurapika had commanded Chrollo not to.
Scenario two - She used it on Kurapika instead, making him think he never used Judgment Chain on Chrollo. Chrollo would still die if he used his Nen.
She can only remove the memories and not the effects of the Nen itself.
Daniel smiles as his thinking. Yes, the exam is going to begin and I'm gonna ace it!
Zaikaria turns to smile at Daniel "You happy the exam's started?" Daniel nods as he waits for the instructor to continue talking.
"A final caution. If you are short on luck or ability, you could very well end up seriously injured or even dead. Those who accept the risks, please follow me." The man holds out his hand, gesturing to the elevator behind everyone "Otherwise, please exit via the elevator behind you."
He gives time for everyone to think it over. Zaikaria looks at Daniel in concern, broaching the subject again for the seventh time that day "Are you sure you want to continue? We can back out now..." Daniel shakes his head before smiling widely at Zaikaria "No! I'm going to continue... I wanted to do this after all... I feel like I need to be here for some reason..."
Zaikaria nods before turning back to the man. Everything Vastorie said is turning... He will seek him out in the future, you can bet on it! Our father is one cunning bastard! Sometimes I wonder how he isn't Manipulator, so I wouldn't be surprised if his been planning this the whole time. I just don't get how Killua is here... Was it dumb luck, or fate? Either way! I won't allow it... his too innocent for that life style! Or to be around a guy like that...
Daniel raises his head to look at Zaikaria "Are you ok?" She nods, looking away in discomfort "Just getting my game face on!"
Liar!
Looking back towards the Examiner, she thinks I know...
The examiner drops his hands to his sides "Very Well. All 404 applicants will participate in Phase One." He pivots on one foot, turning around to start walking slowly, like an army man marching out.
The whole group followed the examiner, walking slowly after him.
As Daniel looks around, he sees Gon walking still side by side with the teenager and adult he came in earlier with. As the three boys are talking, Zaikaria interrupts Daniel's track of mind "Hmm... that's a shame. I was hoping for some of them to clear out. It seems like everyone has balls here..."
Daniel lifts head his, focusing on Zaikaria instead of the boy and his companions "How so?"
Zaikaria singsongs her next few words as if she was matching her voice to a small upbeat tune "Well, The Hunter exam isn't forgiving... People do die in this and Nathaniel wouldn't allow you to go by yourself. Try to stick with me the whole way through..."
Daniel nods, looking back at the three companions.
"You should go up and talk to them."
Daniel lifts his head again, looking at Zaikaria as if she had just said something weird "What?"
"You keep staring at those three guys. You should go talk to them..."
He drops his head, briefly glimpsing back at the three guys' general direction every so often "I don't know..."
As the pace starts to pick up, Zaikaria motions to Daniel to keep up.
Daniel runs to a better position, checking out the three companions thoroughly. The older one is wearing a dark blue suit and teal tie. His suitcase spikes Daniel's interest, but not long enough to keep him distracted enough to look up at the man's face. The man's glasses give him an intelligent look while his facial structure suggests that the man is quiet old, making Daniel question his age. Maybe he's in earlier thirties of late twenties?
His eyes dart to the next oldest of the group. The teenagers blond hair flows gracefully through the air and his face structure gives Daniel a reason to pause. Is that even a guy? The thought only lingers for a second when the teenagers clothing choice draws his attention next. The teenager is wearing a training suit with a blue tabard over it and his messenger bag filled with Daniel could only guess what.
Finally, Daniel looks next to the youngest that's watching the front with fascination. Daniel knows his around the boy's age. Whether his younger or older, he could only guess. The boy's hair defies gravity sticking up without anything holding it up. His eyes brim with a fascination that Daniel could only describe as being similar to a magpie.
The boy's clothing would suggest he comes from a not so rich family but doesn't give any hints to say his poor either, and, the clothing is coloured in a way, most likely to suggest the boy's favourite colour, a type green Maybe earth green?
The backpack suggests he isn't carrying much besides his important items like a compass and other hiking gear. But the thing that confuses him the most is the fishing pole. The clothing suggests his a hiker who spends most of his time in the forest, but the way he carries the fishing pole suggests his a fisherman, leaving Daniel to consider multiple possibilities. He must live on an island with a forest or something...
The raven-haired boy that Daniel has been staring at intently speaks up "The people in front started running."
The blond teenager speaks up in agreeance "He's picked up the pace."
"Go talk to them you unsociable baby! You need to make friends and no; Nathaniel doesn't count as one or even I, for that matter!" Zaikaria blurts out casually.
Before Daniel could even retort back, the examiner speaks up "I neglected to introduce myself. I am Satotz, the Phase One examiner. I shall lead you to the exam's Second Phase."
Someone yells out amongst the crowd "Second Phase?" Daniel looks around but fails to notice who actually yelled in the first place. "What about Phase One?" The person yells out, allowing Daniel to finally able to spot him. The bald man looks young but also older at the same time, like his early twenties. And the man's gear suggested his some kind of ninja... or he wants to be one...
"It has already been commenced."
Everyone mutters words of confusion as Zaikaria motions to Daniel "I can take a gander at this Phase. It's a form of endurance..."
Satotz turns around while still keeping the same pace of speed "You must follow me to Phase Two. This is the exam's First Phase."
"Follow you? That's it?" The bald ninja asks.
"Yes. I cannot tell you where or when you must arrive. You need to follow me."
Zaikaria murmurs as she waves her hand back and forth "I thought I was right... It is endurance. But this could go two ways depending on how long we are running for..."
Daniel looks up to her, confused as ever "What you mean? Isn't this a test of physical endurance?"
She shakes her head, lifting a finger as if to point something out "Yes and no. It's a test of both physical endurance and mentality. We could be running for hours or days... that's what his suggesting through his tone-of-voice."
Daniel nods, looking back at the three boys. Zaikaria sighs, kicking Daniel in the backside. He stumbles forward, bumping into one of the three boys, the youngest accidently "Ow..."
The boy's smile widens in delight, excited to meet Daniel "Hey! You were the boy that waved to me."
Daniel nods, holding out his hand in a gesture to apologise "Sorry... I must have tripped on a rock... or something..."
The boy waved off the whole situation like it never happened "I'm Gon Freecss!"
FREECSS...? Zaikaria looks in disbelief towards Daniel's direction after hearing the name ring through her mind. Vastorie had mentioned the name, a legend, an enigma of the Hunter's world. He was hard to get into contact with, and even harder to find. The Hunter had made a mark on the world, yet he left no trace being, just a name... and nothing more to be found.
Gon holds out his hand "What's your name?"
Daniel smiles as he shakes Gon's hand "Daniel... just Daniel... Are these your... older brothers?" He asks curiously, trying to make conversation with the group. Gon shakes his head, pointing to the blond haired boy first "This is Kurapika"
Kurapika smiles briefly at Daniel "Hi."
Gon points to the older man next "And this is Leorio Paladiknight."
"Hi, kid." Leorio beams with a huge smile.
Daniel nods, looking down at the floor, failing after trying to think of a way to continue the conversation. He felt awkward, meeting strangers he had no connection with.
"Who's the girl you were sitting with?" Gon asks curiously, his eyes lighting up like Christmas trees.
"She's my sister, Zaikaria..." Daniel looks towards her, noticing her innocent smile and the reason for why my butt hurts!'
Zaikaria shakes her head as Daniel pouts, feeling as though she somehow read his mind.
Leorio asks in disbelief "What? Where...?"
Daniel turns, pointing in Zaikaria's direction "That's her."
Love hearts shoot out of Leorio's eyes, exclaiming louder than Daniel would have liked "Wow! She's a cutie!"
Zaikaria looks disgruntled, hearing the man's words loud and clear through Daniel's thoughts.
Daniel joking waves his hand, not wanting to insult Leorio's age. He hoped he wasn't addressing the man's age by his looks "I don't think you're her type! Anyways, she doesn't like men younger than her. She calls them babies... even if they're one year younger than her."
"How old is she?"
"I rather not say... she'll kill me..."
Leorio sighs while scratching the back of his head "That's a shame..."
Daniel smiles at the group, looking back in front to focus on the course.
"~"
Hours pass by as Daniel acts unfazed by how far they've been running. So far this is been boring... we've been running in a straight line for so long, I've lost count of both the time and Kilometres!
Daniel hears a skateboard close by, making him look around. Hey it's that kid again... I wonder where he is...
Leorio starts to yell in front Daniel "HEY! Wait up, kid!"
"Hmm...?"
"You should show the Hunter Exam some respect!"
"What do you mean?"
Daniel turns, focusing on nobody, but the kid.
The boy's eyes radiate bright blue, showing a form of darkness hidden behind them eyes. Daniel's heart starts to beat fast, making him look in disbelief at the boy. That's funny... I feel as though I actually have met him... I just can't pin point where...
He forces the thought in the back of his mind as he tries to see if anything else may trigger a thought. The boy's wearing a navy blue turtle neck shirt with a light tinted purple V-neck over the shirt. Daniel's eyes look down seeing the sky blue-purplish shorts that cover his knees and purple and white boots.
I guess not... nothing is ringing a bell.
Meanwhile, Zaikaria has Daniel's thoughts cross her mind.
I feel as though I actually have met him... I just can't pin point where...?
She turns to look at Daniel, noticing him staring at Killua. FUCK! I covered up that memory... There's no way he should remember Killua!
I guess not... nothing is ringing a bell.
She sighs in relief. That's good! He still hasn't remembered, and it doesn't seem like Killua has noticed Daniel... Maybe Illumi did something to Killua when he was younger.
