Kurapika

About Kurapika

Gender: Male Age: 17 (beginning); 19 (current) Height: 171 cm Weight: 59 kg Birthday: April 4 Zodiac: Aries Hair color: Blonde Eye color: Blue (1999); Brown (manga & 2011); Scarlet (when angered) Blood type: AB Nen type: Conjuration; Specialization (when his eyes are Scarlet) Kurapika is the last surviving member of the Kurta tribe, a formerly isolated group wiped out by the Phantom Troupe four years before the Hunter exam. The tribe was famous—or rather, cursed—for their scarlet eyes, which would glow red whenever they felt strong emotion. These eyes ranked among the seven most beautiful things in the world, which made them a target. The Phantom Troupe came to massacre the entire tribe and steal their eyes. Kurapika survived, but everyone he knew didn't. Since then, he's been driven by a single goal: revenge against the Troupe and recovering his people's stolen eyes. What's interesting about Kurapika is the contradiction at his core. Despite being consumed by hatred, he's genuinely kind and fiercely loyal to his friends. He's brilliant but impulsive, and he compensates for raw talent through sheer determination. His Nen ability reflects this—he weaponized his natural Conjuration skills into something powerful enough to threaten the Phantom Troupe itself. His signature technique is a set of five chains that extend from his right hand, each finger producing a different chain with its own purpose. Holy Chain (thumb) heals injuries. Chain Jail (middle finger) restrains targets. Dowsing Chain (ring finger) can locate people. Judgment Chain (pinky) is custom-built for executing his vengeance. The index finger's chain remains a mystery. To maximize his effectiveness against such a dangerous enemy, Kurapika deliberately placed strict limitations on his chains—the kind of self-imposed restrictions that boost Nen output but come with real costs. When his eyes turn scarlet in combat, he can access Emperor Time, a Specialization ability that lets him use all his chains at full power simultaneously. It's his ultimate trump card.
