## Series Dictionary

* **Aura:** A form of life energy that is produced by every living thing, and is vital to their survival. It flows throughout the body, and the body has several points called Aura Nodes that aura naturally flows out from.
* **Hunter:** An elite member of humanity who has managed to complete the Hunter Exam. Becoming a Hunter grants someone access to 95% of public facilities at no cost, unrivaled freedom to travel around the world, no legal responsibility for murder, and access to information that only Hunters can get.
* **Nen:** The ability to control the aura inside one's body, which can be used to enhance physical strikes, sense the aura of others, hide someone's presence, or shield the user from attacks.
	+ **Ten:**It is the ability to prevent the aura from leaking out of the body once the aura's nodules are opened and instead contain it in and around the body. Ten prevents the aura from leaving the body, which allows it to maintain youthful vigor and age at a much slower rate. It also acts as a defense against physical attacks and emotional Nen attacks full of malice.
	+ **Zetsu:**Stops the flow of your body's aura completely, closing off all aura nodules. This makes them more difficult or even impossible to perceive or feel. However, this means that the defense to any Nen, Ten attack is taken down, making it a major risk to use. Zetsu can also relieve fatigue because it interrupts the use of the aura.
	+ **Ren:**It focuses on producing a greater amount of aura than Ten and projecting it out violently. The user exudes a large amount of aura that enhances all their physical abilities, such as stamina and endurance.
	+ **Hatsu:**Is Nen's personal expression. They project their will into their aura and can create special abilities. Hatsu depend a lot on the individuality of the person in question. Typically, people are born with affinities with certain Nen categories, which affects how well one can manipulate Nen towards one of the categories.
	+ **Gyo:**Is an advanced Ren application whereby a Nen user concentrates a large part of their aura on a specific part of the body. It increases the strength of one part of the body but leaves the rest of the body more vulnerable as it is a less protective exchange but greater amplification in a particular place. It is often used to improve the perception of seeing Nen structures hidden by the use of In .
	+ **In:**Is an advanced Zetsu application and makes its aura unnoticeable to Nen users who can see the already invisible Nen, even an extremely powerful aura is hidden. It hides the normal five senses and even extrasensory perception from Nen users. Em can be seen by Gyo.
	+ **En:**is an advanced application of Ten and Ren in which a user extends the aura around a certain distance using Ren to extend their Ten aura to shape it, usually a sphere. The minimum requirements for En are to extend the aura two meters and hold it for one minute. Anything inside En is instantly detected by the user.
	+ **Shu:**Is an advanced application of Ten and wraps objects in an aura, allowing them to be used as an extension of the user's body.
	+ **Ko:**Is a combination of Ten, Zetsu, Hatsu, Ren and Gyo to focus the user's aura on a specific part of the body.
	+ **Ken:**Is an advanced application of Ten and Ren. It is primarily a defensive technique through the use of extended Ren. Ken defends the entire body equally. Can also be used as a miniature En.
	+ **Ryu:**Is Ken's use of Gyo in active combat, assigning aura percentages to different body parts when necessary.
