Nen Awakening

Discover, train and build your own Nen. A full RPG system inspired by the Nen of Hunter x Hunter: no classes, no fixed power list. Your category is revealed by the water divination test, and you design your own Hatsu with a real ability builder, where restrictions and vows truly make you stronger.

✦ Features

Awakening and the four principles

• You don't start with Nen. Find a Nen Master in the wild and choose a gentle awakening (meditate still for 30 s) or a forced awakening (instant, but painful).
• Ten reduces damage taken, Zetsu hides your aura (faster regeneration, monsters lose track of you), Ren makes your melee hits much stronger. Each one has its own mastery from level 0 to 10.
• An aura reserve that grows with training. Overuse it and you burn out: no Nen for a while.
• Your aura is visible, like in the anime: a calm envelope of light in Ten, a large flaming aura in Ren. It uses your own color, which you can pick freely.

The water divination test

• Place a Divination Glass, activate Ren and stare at it: the water reacts in 3D according to your category. It overflows, changes color or taste, impurities appear, the leaf moves, or something strange happens.
• 6 categories (Enhancement, Transmutation, Conjuration, Emission, Manipulation, Specialization) laid out on the affinity hexagon: the farther a category is from yours, the weaker and costlier its abilities. Specialization is rare and reserved for specialists.

The Hatsu builder: create your own power

Combine, in a visual menu:

• 10 natures: reinforced, raw aura, electricity, heat, cold, elasticity, corrosive, wind, sound, light.
• 9 forms: aura on the body, shield, projectile, wave, explosion, zone, chain, aura weapon, aura creature that fights for you.
• 10 functions: attack, defend, enhance, repel, attract, immobilize, detect, plus 3 Specialization abilities (Foresight, Drain, Swap).
• 9 side effects: paralysis, burn, slow, poison, bleed, blind, levitation, daze, weaken.
• Settings: power, range, duration, radius, and the Hatsu's own color.
• 15 restrictions, each one checked by the server: touch the target, stand still, low aura, say a phrase in chat, night only, once per fight… As a condition, the Hatsu won't fire unless it is met. As a vow, the bonus is doubled, but breaking it seals your Nen for 5 minutes.
• A live balance calculator: efficiency according to your category, complexity, aura cost, power, damage, cooldown. A restriction is never a free bonus.
• 5 demo templates inspired by Gon, Killua, Hisoka, Kurapika and Leorio, ready to load and adapt.

Progression and combat

• Exercises given by the masters (take hits in Ten, lose monsters in Zetsu, hold Ren, meditate, win a sparring match…), with experience rewards.
• Ranks: Novice → Apprentice → Initiate → Adept → Expert → Master.
• Meditation: crouch still in Ten to train 3× faster.
• Ko: all your aura in one fist, for a devastating blow. In exchange your body is left unprotected.
• Sparring matches against the masters, who strike back but always hold back the final blow.

Polish

• A dark, modern interface. All menus are custom, with the Inter and Sora fonts, logos, tooltips and live stats.
• The Book of Nen: an in-game wiki with 13 chapters that explains everything.
• Custom particles (aura wisps, sparks, shockwaves, chain links) and 22 custom sounds: each nature has its own impact sound (electric crackle, flames, ice crystals, gust…).
• A creative tab (Nen Awakening) with the book, the divination glass and the Nen Master spawn egg.
• Fully translated in English and French.

▶ Getting started

1. Find a Nen Master, or use the spawn egg in creative, then right-click it to awaken your Nen.
2. Press N for the Nen menu. Z = Ten, V = Zetsu, R = Ren.
3. Craft a Divination Glass (glass bottle + any leaves block, shapeless), place it, activate Ren and stare at it for 5 s.
4. Once your Ten + Zetsu + Ren levels add up to 3: N → Hatsu → Create a Hatsu. Select it with J, cast it with H.
5. Open the Book of Nen (given on first join, or the ? button in the Nen menu) to learn everything else.

Keys (changeable in Options → Controls → Nen): Z Ten · V Zetsu · R Ren · G Ko · N Nen menu · H cast Hatsu · J next Hatsu.

• Server-authoritative: aura, costs, damage, vows and Hatsu validation are all computed by the server.
