-User: George Petrov Sorry for the late response, everyone. I was out of town over the weekend and had limited internet access. I know it seems a bit questionable; but let me explain. Aura is wildly inefficient. It provides equal protection to the entire body; it wastes protective efficiency by equally shielding both vital points and hard points. Your elbow is one of the best striking surfaces on your body, it doesn't need nearly as much protection as your heart or jugular vein. What the Semblance does is.... increase the efficiency of that protection by reducing the surface area and increasing the density. The secondary effect of this is that using it will make it stronger very quickly, since as his hair grows longer it must cover a larger area; and thus grows stronger workiing to protect that new area. The efficacy was a very slow burn but at his current experience and body hair levels, he gains more functional benefit from losing protection in a few non-critical zones than from having total protection. It's basically a massive evolutionary step from the palm shields. I do have a few other Semblance concepts for him in the works, however.
