Twelve Days of the Zodiac: Cluck
This is the nen ability I've come up with for Cluck, the Chicken (I must admit this is the one that took me the longest to come up with xD).
Inspiration: I designed it thinking about her outfit (which reminds me a bit of peacocks and the Brazilian carnival) and how we saw she could manipulate several pigeons at once.
Ability name: Great Migration (The King's Thousand Eyes)
Nen type: Manipulation + Emission + Enhancement
Effects: The user can create a series of seeds that can be given to a bird (mixed with normal seeds). Once a bird consumes one, it comes under the user's control. The seed stores the user's commands and accumulates the bird's Nen to facilitate its journey (using Enhancement to accelerate its flight and Manipulation to locate its targets, such as when sending messages to the hunters during the Election).
The user is always aware of the status of her birds and can, once a day, send extra Nen to her seeds to improve their control and condition.
Once the objective has been achieved or the Nen in the seed has been depleted, the seed will disappear and the bird will be freed from its control. A signal will be sent to the user's mind, along with the bird's location.
Its restrictions are:
- The user can only control birds with this technique. If other animals consume the seeds, nothing will happen; their Nen will simply be slowly depleted.
- The user can send Nen to all of their birds once a day. However, once they do, they will be forced into a Zetsu state for a time equal to the number of birds controlled (since 1 controlled bird = 2 minutes of Zetsu, meaning that using this ability on 100 birds equates to 200 minutes (3 hours and 20 minutes)). If this ability is used, it affects all birds simultaneously, not a specific one.
- Once a bird is freed from this control, it cannot be controlled again by the user for a period of time equal to 10 times the duration of control (for example, if she controlled a flock of pigeons for a month, she cannot attempt to control any more for another 10 months).
The King's Thousand Eyes: This ability is one that the user created as a defensive measure. It allows her to create, through emission, Nen constructs from her ornaments, forming several fan-like displays resembling those of a peacock.
The pattern varies daily, but always features eyes, and any person (Nen user) who gazes upon these eyes is frozen in place.
Its restrictions are:
- The user can only use this ability once every 12 hours, and it only affects Nen users (since these constructs can only be seen with Gyo).
- An enemy already affected by this ability will become immune for the rest of the day.
- The duration of the block is based on both the length of time the user keeps their constructs visible to the enemy and the enemy's Nen category in relation to Manipulation.
For example, if Cluck kept the enemy's construct visible for 10 minutes before deflecting/undoing it, and this enemy was an Enhancer, since Enhancement is three positions (included as one) above Manipulation, this user would be blocked for 30 minutes.
