 Hello peoples of this thread. Just wanted to post a Semblance idea I have been ruminating over for close to a year. I hope this isn't inadvertantly copying anyone elses. Enjoy(or not):

 -Name:

 -User(s): Shankar Saffron

 -Type: Conjuration(I think, having trouble classifying)

 -Purpose: Utility (The effect is neutral, neither offensive nor defensive. However, with enough creativity they can be used as such)

 -Short description: By projecting a portion of his aura, the user can infiltrate an opponent's Central Nervous System and achieve control of that opponent's movements, and to a lesser extent thoughts and memories, proportional to the amount of aura he invests in that control.

 -Activation Cue: Flash as user projects his aura, followed by him going stock still, and then zoom to opponent as he/she is successfully infiltrated

 -Range: Medium/Long(Can really do it from any range, but it gets proportionally weaker with distance)

 -General limitations: Cannot move while using this semblance(amount of time still depends on amount of aura emitted); can only do it on one person at a time; user cannot pull it off on extremely fast opponents that he can't properly perceive; useless against opponents actively defending CNS with their aura or against opponents with really strong Aura (think Maiden-level); does not work on machines or organisms without a CNS (strangely does work on Grimm)

 -Passive ability(s) (if any):  Brain is able to filter more information from subconscious awareness to conscious awareness (i.e. increased perception and reaction time), natural faunus emotion sensing is ramped up (can sense ambient emotions from people)

 -Active ability: Tier One: Can project aura into a target, and through the aura can use the target's senses to perceive what is going on without actively controlling the target. Can also sense emotions and pressing thoughts of target

 -Active ability: Tier Two: The user can control the target's movements ranging from either slight adjustments to full on puppetry depending on aura investment. This also impacts how long he remains motionless and thus vulnerable. With more aura, he could potentially forcibly root through targets mind to extract information, which would have terrible consequences for the target, something the user is well aware of.

 -Dust interaction (insert dust type here): N/A

 Notes: Shankar tends to use this ability very subtly, making slight adjustments to opponents' moves and strikes and planning ahead enough to take advantage of openings he makes opponents create. He also keeps the details of his semblance tightly under wraps, and very few people know to even some extent.
