A drawing of my OC Blake in his Hunter X Hunter AU version. He is a Specialist with the ability “Manushya’s Greed: Thief of the 6 Treasures.” This allows him to steal the aura of a living thing he is making direct contact with and add it to one of his 6 “aura pools.” Each one corresponds to one of the 6 Nen types, and he can call upon said aura at any given time to effectively raise his affinity with one or more of the Nen types by using the corresponding aura. For example, if his Enhancement pool is 100% filled he can “burn” 100% of the aura to make his Enhancement techniques work at 100% effectiveness for about 10 minutes by using the aura of an Enhancer. There’s more info and limitations that I can’t put here (but it all exists in a Google doc). He has a Nen ability for each Nen type.
He was awakened to Nen when he was climbing Heaven’s Arena. He wasn’t as lucky as Gon or Killua and didn’t know what Nen was. So he was “initiated” and lost a hand in the process. However, he was saved by a combination of Lily, her girlfriend, and his ability unintentionally restoring some of the aura he was losing by draining the aura of those he was in direct contact with. He is eventually taught Nen by Lily, her girlfriend, and Sky (so he wouldn’t just be leaking aura all the time). At one point, Blake fights Hisoka and loses (but Hisoka sees some potential in him and lets him live so he can provide a better fight later). The encounter leads to Blake avoiding Heaven’s Arena until he can get strong enough to face Hisoka again (lest the killer clown kill him the next time they fight).
This version of Blake wears bandages under his clothes because I thought it would be cool to have him take them off sometimes to increase the surface area by which he can make contact with someone.

- My OC Blake is a Black man with brown skin that’s on the lighter side and a stove top haircut made of brownish red hair, and he has hairy eyebrows of the same color. A line from the bottom of his sideburns up is dyed black. Blake is looking at the camera with his split tongue out. His left hand is raised and emanating a dark gray aura. His nails are long and sharp, plus he has an ominous ring on each of his fingers that resemble spines curling around each of his digits. His right arm ends in a hook and gleams as it tears away bandages from around Blake’s left arm and hand. Over the bandages on Blake’s body, he wears a black jacket. While his right arm is through the jacket’s sleeve, his left arm is not through its respective sleeve. Leaving the jacket dangling half off him. Blake is also wearing a purple scarf that billows in the wind. The environment is clearly that of Heaven’s arena with a white tiled floor that’s damaged and cracked in addition to two tall pillar-like torches behind him on either side with a spiraling pattern of blue and white. “HEAVEN’S ARENA” is plastered in big blue letters on a wall behind him (although he partially obscures it). On top of the wall is a crowd of people, including my other OCs Lily, Viola, Adam, and Chloe.
