A simple breakdown of Kurapica's abilities, copied from his application:
In the beginning, Kurapica used two covered Tanto blades connected by a rope, but lately, he's used these weapons less and less with the development of his Nen - or "Qi" - ability. Kurapica is of the Materialization group, which means he specifies in conjuring objects out of Nen. In his case, Kurapica has decided to conjure chains, represented by the chain "glove" he created from Nen kept on his right hand. Each chain attached to each of his fingers possesses a specific ability. The chain on his little finger (the "Judgment Chain") has a stake on the end, and the chain can wrap around the victim's heart. Kurapica places two limitations on the victim (ex. "You cannot make contact with a member of the Phantom Troupe" and "You cannot tell anyone about my ability"), and if that victim violates the limitations, the victim instantly dies. This ability can only be used if Kurapica's eyes are scarlet.
The chain on Kurapica's thumb (the "Holy Chain") is shaped like a cross, and it can cure small wounds. The chain on his middle finger (the "Chain Jail") is shaped like a hook and can wrap itself around his enemies, restricting their movements and Nen completely. Chain Jail possesses extreme power, but only because Kurapica increased its power by using the Judgment Chain on himself: he cannot use Chain Jail on anyone other than the Phantom Troupe, or else Kurapica dies. Hence, unless a member of the Phantom Troupe ends up in Adstringendum, Kurapica cannot use Chain Jail.
The chain on Kurapica's ring finger (the "Dowsing Chain"), is a chain with a small ball at the end. This chain is used for most of his attack/defense in normal situations, and it can easily be manipulated at high speeds (even blocking several bullets in one scene). The chain also doubles as a kind of "radar": Kurapica can specify something he's looking for, and the chain swings back and forth when he finds what he needs. In this way, it can also be used a lie detector.
Some of these chain abilities are specified to only work when he has scarlet eyes. Through working with his Nen teacher, Kurapica had trained himself to turn his eyes scarlet on his own. The scarlet eyes of the Kuruta clan allows Kurapica to achieve Specialization in the Nen category. In other words, he can utilize every category of Nen available, permitting him to use certain of his chain abilities.
TL;DR version: Kurapica has many abilities that restrict the movement and actions of his opponents. Despite his mission for revenge against the Genei Ryodan (none of which have arrived in Adstring yet), he paradoxically does not like violence, and so he does throw these abilities around willy-nilly. When pressured by another character, particularly one threatening others, Kurapica will not hesitate to retaliate.
If Kurapica ever does decide to use any of these abilities, particularly Judgment Chain, I will contact you first or refer to your response in this permissions post before it is used. If you think this will apply to your character (essentially, if they are "rouge" or "villain" character), please feel free to respond here with answers to these questions:
1. Provided Kurapica's eyes turned scarlet, allowing him to use this ability, can he use Judgment Chain on your character? Are there any powers/abilities your character has that you think would affect Judgment Chain?
2. Can Kurapica use his Dowsing Chain as a lie detector against your character? Are there any powers/abilities your character has that you think would affect the lie detector?
3. Provided Kurapica's eyes turned scarlet, are you comfortable allowing him to utilize all types of Nen in a hypothetical fight? (To explain: this quality makes him pretty powerful, from healing his own broken bones to blocking even the most hardened of punches. Not to say he's invincible, but without obtaining permission first, I feel as though it would be a bit of a godmode to simply roleplay it out.) Provided Kurapica does use his full power in a fight, we can discuss further details at the time of the roleplay.

[OOC]
This is the permissions list for OOC (out of character), activity.
Answer the following questions with "yes" or "no", as well as additional information if desired.
1). Backtagging: Yes.
2). Threadhopping: Yes.
3). Fourthwalling: Sure!
[IC]
This is the permissions list for IC (in-character), activity.
Answer the following questions with "yes" or "no", as well as additional information if desired. With IC permissions, it's a good idea to elaborate on what other players can expect from your character if they choose to do any of the following:
1). Hugging this character: Kurapica might think you're trying to kill him if you simply do this out of the blue. With people he's friends with, however, he would be generally accepting--and he might even reciprocate the hug. No matter Kurapica's reaction, I pretty much allow it.
2). Kissing this character: Ask permission first, please. Unless he somehow has a very, very good relationship with your character, Kurapica doesn't have a romantic bone in his body. B| He also might think you're attacking him. Again.
3). Flirting with this character: You can try. To repeat, Kurapica doesn't have a romantic bone in his body. Kind of. I also pretty much allow this, depending on the degree of flirting.
4). Fighting with this character: Sure! If it's a verbal fight, by all means. If it's a physical fight, be sure to ask me ahead of time so we can figure it out.
5). Injuring this character (include limits and severity): In general, I'd say "go ahead", but just ask me first so I can know.
6). Killing this character: I'm up for it, but definitely ask first.
7). Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: This would be interesting. I say "yes", but also let me know beforehand.
