• Name: Yūten (“Melting Point” in Japanese)

• User: Kazuma Tetsubun

• Type: Conversion

• Purpose: Utility

• Short description: User is able to generate a field of intense thermal energy which can either be used to surround themselves in a defensive shield, or be redirected around certain areas of their body for a more offensive usage.

• Activation Cue: The user’s eyes blaze with a fiery orange light while steamy trails of vapor emit from the surface of their body. A soft hissing sound like the sound of meat sizzling on a frying pan can also be heard.

• Range: Personal

• General limitations: User or foe must make physical contact with the target in order to damage. The thermal energy is also just as capable of harming the user and their allies as it is enemies, requiring the user to wear fireproof clothing and exercise fine control over their Semblance when in close quarters with their allies.

• Passive ability: The steam released upon activation can be used to avoid detection for about thirty seconds after it is created. Strong winds, however, can blow it away.

• Active ability: Tier One: User is surrounded by a three-inch field of thermal energy which can be directed into both hands or feet.

• Dust interaction (Fire, Lightning, Wind, and Steam):

> Fire: User is surrounded by super-hot flames making nearly impossible to touch. They can also use these flames to burn through concrete, and even solid steel, melting both into liquid in a matter of seconds. However, the smoke generated by the flames can suffocate the user if they are not careful.

> Lightning: User is engulfed in a crackling aura of electrical energy which they can redirect into a devastating area of effect attack, or fire off in concentrated bursts.

> Wind: User is able to release a blast of superheated air that melts even the coldest of substances. They can also create a shield of air around themselves to protect their body from temperatures below freezing, enabling them to survive in harsh environments.

> Steam: User can create a smokescreen of superheated steam that surrounds their body, and damages the enemy. This steam can also be used to melt through stone, wood, flesh, clothing, and armor within a minute of prolonged contact.

• Notes: The OC was inspired partly by Bakugo from Boku no Hero Academia, but his Semblance was based off of Shouto Todoroki’s Quirk along with his weapon. Originally, he was going to have a Semblance that enabled him to phase through walls, but I axed that when I realized it didn't match any aspect of his personality at all.

I noticed that there was another thermal energy conversion-type Semblance on the SSMASLE called Ever-Blaze by Steam Gray, but that one seems pretty different to mine since it's much more offensively based and actually has long-range capabilities without the usage of Dust.
