ZOLDYCK FAMILY HEIR
Assassination — It's the family trade. We all take it up. My folks see me as an exceptional prospect. But I don't see why I should have to live up to their expectations.




BACKGROUND

The Zoldyck Family first rose to power as independent Hunters. They developed tools, weaponry, and skills that can allow humans to fight monsters from the Outlands on something resembling equal footing. After the first head died, though, the family changed directions - they hunted monsters less by duty and more by contract. When their need for money and power increased, they expanded their services to apply the same skills against humans when the price was right. Today, they stand as one of the world's most powerful assassin organizations, known by many who have ties to or interest in the criminal underground. Despite their relative lack of secrecy, most law enforcement leaves them alone for fear of lethal retaliation from the family.

Like everyone who grows up on the estate, Killua was trained in assassination arts from an extremely young age. In addition to training that threatened his life constantly, he was forced to undergo all kinds of torture at the hands of his brothers in order to build up his body and mind's resistances to them. Despite the brutal upbringing, Killua thrived, carrying within him a talent for killing that rivaled any of the greatest assassins in the Zoldyck family tree. There was only one problem - he didn't actually want to become a professional assassin when he became an adult. At age 12, this schism led to a fight in which he injured his older brother and mother before running away from home. The family wasn't especially troubled by this - on the contrary, his mother was delighted that he had such talent that he was able to harm her at such a young age. The family is, for now, letting him get the wanderlust out of his system, with the quiet but forceful assumption that he'll eventually return to them and join the family business.

Shortly after fleeing his family home, Killua was approached by agents of Daybreak Academy who foresaw the potential within him. He accepted their offer, and enrolled as a student.




ABILITIES

  • Extreme Perception: Killua's senses are trained to the absolute limits of what humans can achieve without supernatural help. He can see and hear things normal people would miss, he can (sometimes) sense the presence and killing intent of hidden people around him, and his reaction speeds border on superhuman.
  • Extreme Agility: Thanks to his assassin training, Killua can move at incredible speed, both over long distances and with small precise movements, and his strength and endurance are both above average, especially for his age.
  • Combat Proficiency: His specialty is hand-to-hand combat, but he's also highly skilled with a specialized signature weapon - a pair of yo-yos made of a heavy and highly durable metallic alloy. At the moment, at least, he's more confident with his unarmed combat skills.
  • Pain Resistance: Killua underwent brutal torture-resistance training as a child, and can now take all but the most agonizing of wounds without blinking. He's built up immunities to many of the most commonly-used poisons as well.

CANON INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME: Killua Zoldyck
CANON: Hunter x Hunter
HISTORY: Here

STRENGTHS:
  • Cool Under Pressure: Killua's been facing mortal peril since the age of three. As a result, when his life is in danger, he doesn't panic - instead, his focus actually increases. This allows him to think fast when the situation is at its worst, and make painful decisions quickly.
  • Quick Learner: The training that Killua was subjected to by his family wasn't only in combat, either. The education he grew up with at the estate was world class, and even beyond that he has an innate talent for picking up new skills on the fly. If he wants to learn how to do something, he'll learn it, and he'll learn it surprisingly fast.
  • Relentless Loyalty: Growing up surrounded by the same family all the time, Killua never exactly had much in the way of friends - the occasional butler near his age was the closest he got, and even they usually maintained a professional distance. As a result, when he does manage to make friends with someone, he will stick with them through anything, even if it means putting his own life on the line. Once earned, Killua's trust and support is unbending.


FLAWS:
  • Killing Instinct: Even if he refused the job of becoming a professional assassin, Killua grew up surrounded by killers. If a problem can be dealt with via murder, he's a bit too quick to jump to it as an option, potentially causing serious rifts between Daybreak and their allies.
  • Rebel Punk: Killua doesn't like authority figures. He's prone to picking fights and messing with people in general, but especially adults and people who order him around. The biggest problem here is that if someone hasn't earned his respect, he might ignore their orders when the cards are on the table.
  • Fear of the Strong: Killua fights like an assassin - get in, get it done, get out. However, the flip side of this is that he's extremely reluctant to go into a fight that he isn't fairly sure he can win. When faced with overwhelming odds, the first thing to jump to his mind is his brother, telling him over and over that he should fight with the basis of trying to find a chance to escape, hurting his chances of a clutch victory. This is the main hurdle he has to overcome in order to become a Candle.

AU PERSONALITY DEVIATION:
The main difference between canon Killua and this Killua is the absence of the Hunter Association. The HA gave Killua a specific goal to guide his rebellion against his family - run away from home and become a Hunter, gaining the authority to do whatever he wants. This Killua lacked that beacon, so his flight from the estate was more of a spur-of-the-moment decision with no specific goal in mind. As a result, he's a bit less sure of what he wants to become in the future, slightly weakening his motivation to succeed at Daybreak. The offer was extended to him, rather than him choosing to go there specifically.

In addition, there's the matter of Illumin Zoldyck's conditioning. In canon, Illumin altered Killua's personality using a nen needle implanted in his brain without his knowledge, transmitting thoughts that made him act in a manner more suitable to an assassin - this is where his fear of those stronger than him comes from, and it's expelled as soon as he discovers and removes the needle. In this version of events, there's no magic needle giving Killua his fears, just years of mental conditioning by an abusive family forcing him to think like an assassin. Accordingly, it won't be as simple for him to push past it.

RACE: Human
SECRET SOCIETY: Technically a Hunter by affiliation with the Zoldyck family, but his true nature is as a Candle who has yet to awaken.

POWERS:
As an unawakened human:
  • Extreme Perception: Killua's senses are trained to the absolute limits of what humans can achieve without supernatural help. He can see and hear things normal people would miss, he can (sometimes) sense the presence and killing intent of hidden people around him, and his reaction speeds border on superhuman.
  • Extreme Agility: Thanks to his assassin training, Killua can move at incredible speed, both over long distances and with small precise movements, and his strength and endurance are both above average, especially for his age.
  • Combat Proficiency: His specialty is hand-to-hand combat, but he's also highly skilled with a specialized signature weapon - a pair of yo-yos made of a heavy and highly durable metallic alloy. At the moment, at least, he's more confident with his unarmed combat skills.
  • Pain Resistance: Killua underwent brutal torture-resistance training as a child, and can now take all but the most agonizing of wounds without blinking. He's built up immunities to many of the most commonly-used poisons as well.


As a Candle:
  • Godspeed: The umbrella name for all of Killua's Flame abilities. They operate by channeling electricity through his body, which he can generate by himself, but he can also enhance his powers by tapping into sources of electrical energy in the environment, such as exposed wires. Without an external power source, he runs through his power quickly, giving him a limited window for tapping into his Flame in a battle.
  • Speed of Lightning: Killua transmutes electricity to directly stimulate his muscles, allowing him to push past his limits and move with superhuman speed.
  • Whirlwind: When even his reflexes aren't enough, he can use this ability to shortcut his brain completely, having his body move directly from stimulus to electrical response. This lets his body move automatically based on pre-programmed responses to different stimuli and break past the reaction speed barrier afforded by the need for impulses to travel to the brain, then back to the body.
  • Lightning: In addition to using it on himself, Killua can discharge lightning to attack others. He can convey it through his hands, over a distance, or even channel it through his yo-yos, but damage is relatively low - it's more effective as a stun to let others attack than a finishing blow.

RP SAMPLE

Thread 3

Plus some interview questions for good measure.

INTERVIEW SAMPLE PROMPT

2. WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE IN THE FUTURE?
C'mon, look at me. Do I look like I'm old enough to have my whole life figured out? I don't have a clue.

3. DESCRIBE YOUR IDEA OF AN IDEAL SCHOOL EXPERIENCE.
If you have someone far enough ahead of me in skill that you can teach me something I don't already know, then I won't ask for much else. I only agreed to come here because I didn't have anywhere else to go at the moment.

5. WHAT DO YOU FEEL MOST LIMITS YOU FROM ACHIEVING YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL?
...How many people my age have you met who can do what I can? There's nothing stopping me, I'm already at my full potential. (lie)

6. WHAT COURSE WORK EXCITES YOU? WHY?
Monster attacks! In addition to being a chance to really cut loose, it can help me measure how strong I am compared to my classmates.

8. WHAT ACTIVITIES DO YOU PARTICIPATE IN OUTSIDE YOUR EDUCATION?
Oops, can't answer that one. Even if I could, you wouldn't want to know. Next question!

10. WHEN UNDER PRESSURE OF A TIGHT DEADLINE, HOW DO YOU RESPOND?
Time restraints are a matter of prioritization. If I don't have enough time to do something, then I just have to break it down into tasks, determine which ones are high priority or absolute requirements for other important tasks, then drop everything else. If you have 5 minutes to do 10 one-minute tasks, then it's better to finish half of them than to mess up all ten.

11. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR PEERS?
Well, this place is full of people with crazy powers, right? I want to find some people strong enough to use as rivals. It's hard to tell how fast you're progressing unless you have someone to measure yourself against, you know?

13. DO YOU FEEL YOU CAN RELY ON YOUR PEERS, OR DO YOU FEEL YOU MUST EXCEL ON YOUR OWN?
If anything, a team's just gonna slow me down. I've got plenty of experience taking care of things on my own, so just tell me what needs doing and I'll get it done.

14. IN THIS EVER-CHANGING WORLD, WHAT MOST EXCITES YOU ABOUT THE FUTURE?
Doing whatever the hell I want! That's the fun part of this gig: Once I graduate, there's nobody telling me what to do with my life.

15. WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE DO YOU FEAR THE MOST?
...Nothing. (lie)
