The Zodiacs In Hunter X Hunter

The Zodiacs or Zodiac Twelve is a group of twelve Hunters whose skills have been recognized by Chairman Isaac Netero. The original formation consisted of the Vice-Chairman of the Hunter Association and 11 Staff Advisors. Currently, the Chairman herself is part of the Zodiacs. The Zodiacs act as the chairman's counselors. They each have a codename associated with one of the Chinese zodiac signs.

Ging Freecss
Ging is the father of Gon Freecss. He is a Double-Star Ruins Hunter, and a former Zodiac with the codename Boar. During his time as a Zodiac, Ging's authority in the Hunter Association was inferior only to those of the Chairman and the Vice-Chairman. Even after quitting the group, he still has access to all the benefits granted by his status as a Hunter. His abilities are yet to be fully revealed, but being part of the Zodiacs, a Double-Star Hunter who can qualify for a Triple-Star License, Ging is bound to be extremely proficient in Nen.

Remote Punch (Emission): Ging punches a surface nearby and emits his aura in a line from the point of impact to a specific location a few meters ahead. A wormhole-like circle is generated from which a fist emerges, stretching far beyond the length of a normal arm to strike the target.
Ultrasound (Emission): Using his hands to examine the body, Ging can release his aura in pulses around an area like an ultrasound to detect other organisms within it or, potentially, abnormalities in the human body.
Phasing Bullets (Emission): By laying his hands on a surface, Ging can shoot a projectile of aura from each that quickly travels through the obstacle without damaging it, instead hitting whatever is on the other side.

Priest Staff (Conjuration): Saiyu's weapon of choice is a conjured staff. He can change its length at will.
