Characters
Shizuku Murasaki
Shizuku is member number 8 in the Genei Ryoudan. She has been described as being a natural airhead, seeing as how some of her actions do not point towards her being very bright. Shizuku is quite forgetful. Once she forgets something, she won't remember it. Her opponents are often fooled by her unassuming and blurred appearance —but this has often proved to be fatal for them once she enters in combat. Shizuku is also left-handed. Nen Ability Deme-chan (Blinky): Shizuku uses her nen to create a self-styled "living" vacuum cleaner she names "Deme-chan" that is able to consume any inanimate matter under her command. This has proven very useful in many occasions for cleaning up evidence that the members leave behind, especially blood and dead corpses. She also uses the razor sharp teeth on the "mouth" as a weapon when in combat. Anything sucked up into her vacuum cleaner cannot be retrieved, except for the last material that was sucked in.

However, having spent a lot of time in the woods as a child, he is very good with animals. Simultaneously, his flaws lie in his temper and impulsive nature. Gon sometimes fails to think things through and such actions lead to him suffering.

He is the deuteragonist of the series Hunter x Hunter. Killua is introduced as a character similar to Gon: cheeky, cheerful, and full of bad ideas. However, contrasting Gon's politeness, Killua can be pretty rude to others, mostly strangers and older people. He is also one of the quickest-thinking characters and often analyzes a situation with great ease and accuracy. Despite his young age, his way of thinking, knowledge, and pragmatism give him the attitude of an adult. He is initially very confident about his abilities and able to gauge other people's abilities accurately. A stark contrast to his best friend Gon, Killua is highly mature in both thinking and emotion. He can keep his anger in check and maintain rationality better than Gon even when facing a terrifying experience.

Machi Komachine
Age: 24 Height: 159 cm Weight: 48 kg Not known to show much emotion, Machi seems to be one of the most cold members of the Genei Ryodan. The only person she has shown some feeling to was Kuroro. Hisoka seems to have an occasional interest with her, although it's hard to see whether it's genuine, given Hisoka's unpredictability. Machi also doesn't appear to be interested a single bit, spurning his advances on all occasions. Machi is one of the Genei Ryodan that originated from Ryuuseigai. Nen Ability Machi's nen transforms into thin wispy-long threads in which she uses in a variety of ways, including seaming together old wounds to heal them, repairing back dislodged limbs (like what she did for Hisoka), and forming a noose that can strangle enemies with a tug. Her thread's strength is inversely proportional to the length. The longer the thread she makes, the easier it is to break.

Isaac Netero
Age: 120 Eye Color: Brown Hair color: Gray (1999), White (2011) Occupation: Hunters Association Chairman Nen type: Enhancement Abilities: 100-Type Guanyin Bodhissatva, First Hand, Third Hand, Ninety-ninth Hand, Zero Hand None other than the Chairman of the Hunter Committee, and the final authority over the entirety of the Hunter Exam. He has enough administrative power to grant anyone the Hunter's license if he decides to do so, and enough combat power to playfully avoid attacks of the main heroes single-handedly when they challenge him. All examiners, even the most despotic ones, obey his orders without talking back. He was said to be the strongest Nen user in the world 50 years ago, but he comments that he is already past his prime at his current age and that his subordinates might be stronger than him now (yet his direct subordinates disagree). Netero is also revealed to be older than Zeno Zoldyck (Killua's grandfather), who is said to be 67 years of age. At one point, Zeno says that when he was still a young boy, Netero was not only already old, but he is the only person alive who has fought with Maha (Zeno's) grandfather. Various stated times would put Netero over the three digit mark. He is able to use attacks faster than the speed of sound. His ability is known as 'Hyakushiki Kannon', or the '100-type Guanyin Bodhisattva'. This utilizes Nen to make the attacks seem as if they had come from another side and/or dimension, simply because they move so fast.
