Background

Killua Zoldyck (キルア゠ゾルディック) is the third child of Silva and Kikyo Zoldyck and the heir of the Zoldyck Family, a family of known assassins. He had already mastered many killing techniques at a tender age and was set to be one of the best assassins the family had ever produced.
Sick of killing, at the age of 11 he rebelled against his family, injuring his mother and older brother, and ran away from home to take the Hunter Exam for fun, eventually becoming a Rookie Hunter and also where he would meet Gon Freecs. He is the best friend of Gon and is currently traveling with Alluka Zoldyck.

His talent can only be found in a one in ten million.
Weaknesses: He can run out of electricity if he overuses his Nen powers, forcing him to take additional time to charge up. Godspeed has a time limit.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Nen: Killua developed a series of Nen abilities in which he alters the properties of his aura to make it similar to electricity. This was inspired and made possible by the years of electric shocks he received as a child, both as training against torture and as punishment. Regardless of which core function he employs, he can regulate the discharge of electricity outside of his body, making it so an ally touching him will only feel a mild stinging sensation, whereas an enemy being struck by one of his blows will be painfully electrocuted and even suffer burns if unprotected. Both applications can also be used to carry others, both to displace them and to protect them from enemy attacks.
Lightning Palm
Thunderbolt : Killua leaps into the air above the opponent and projects a bolt of lightning from his fingers, paralyzing them for a few moments and causing them pain, even if the opponent is more than 10x stronger than Killua, such as Youpi.
Godspeed
Whirlwind
Speed of Lightning : The second application of Godspeed allows Killua to retain conscious control of his movements. His overall speed increases dramatically, hence why he uses it primarily to cover long distances in a very short amount of time.
