1- Don't exactly remember. If it wasn't obvious or during the Dragon Dive, then it was probably just to make the shot look cooler. Who knows?

2- He did live in the palace for a while, I'd imagine. He had his password for the elevator, even though Brovada didn't, so he may have been given power over security and what not. It would make sense to assume that they wouldn't regularly give him combat missions, since he isn't much of a fighter.

3- Being an octopus doesn't necessarily mean he didn't have a personality. I mean, cats and dogs can be cowardly, so who's to say octopi cant be?

4- In terms of combat applicability, Kurapika's Healing Thumb is by far the best. It can be used during a fight, with little to no repercussions. Machi's Stitches are probably next best, but they still take a good bit of time to use, and she said to Hisoka after his fight with Kastro that you still have to wait a bit to use whatever limb was stitched up to it's full extent. In terms of which one I'd rather have if I were in the Hunter x Hunter world, It'd probably still be Healing Thumb and second would be Nen Stitches. Kurapika's ability works much faster, and Dr. Blythe takes like freakin' 8 years to do anything, so it'd be even less practical. And I don't exactly understand what you mean by having Breath of Archangel, because it isn't really an ability, so much as a one time use card. So I just kind of left that one out of the equation. If you could use Breath of Archangel as many times as you want, than that would be my choice for both questions, as it works quickly, and doesn't strain your body.

5- He probably won't be bent up about failing the Hunter Exam, as everyone else lost, and he knew the only person who won (Killua) outclassed everyone by a landslide. If I had to guess, his nen ability looks like it would be something involving electricity or fire, because his features are very sharp (electricity) and his outfit is red (fire). This is just a guess, of course, because you can never really know what a Nen ability will be.

6- Frankly, I think Gon and Killua were stronger than Tsezguerra during the dodgeball match, because even though their strategy isn't as developed, their basic ability- agility, aura, perception, etc is leagues ahead of Tsezguerra. So they could probably beat him now. I think Killua would easily win with his electricity and godspeed, but I don't know about Gon. His Nen abilities don't seem as effective in combat as Killua's.
