Asuka Arc

Semblance: Acceleration

Description:

Asuka can cause something to accelerate by adding greater 'momentum' to what she wants to accelerate. However, her range is locked to being either herself or whatever she touches.

Range: Close (melee range)

Type: Enhancer, Aural, Oddity

Use: Offensive

Visual Ques: Skin turns slightly pink, hot steam rises off the user

Tiers: (Contains some weaknesses)

1- She is able to accelerate her movement to a great degree, giving her a considerably large boost in speed. In addition, she is able to use her semblance to effectively heat up solids, liquids and gasses by accelerating the movement of their particles. She has to be careful about overusing this though, as her body overheats as a result of her semblance and can cause her to tire rapidly, should the water-content of her body get very low.

2- After using greater control, she is able to increase the speed of her aura's regeneration and production, massively boosting her aura-reserves for a short period of time, roughly five to ten minutes. She can now also accelerate the speed at which her mind operates, effectively causing her to see the world in slow motion and letting her plan out a minute's worth of ideas within seconds. However, the boost to her aura-reserves is still only temporary, and will greatly strain her body as it attempts to contain all the excess aura. In addition, speeding her mind up will cause her body to greatly lag behind her mind, leaving her vulnerable.

3- A state she can only access if her fight-or flight instincts kick in in a time of great stress, she can now massively accelerate the speed of her own time. She can easily move faster than sound, possibly reaching light-speeds, and there is next to nobody than can keep up with her, not even her Aunt Ruby. This is the most dangerous stage to enter, as it only lasts for a minute at best, and upon running out of aura, she will colapse and be unable to move for a full day.

Other drawbacks

- For acceleration to occur, she needs to have already-existing movement. If she is unable to move, for example, she cannot use her semblance to escape by using speed alone. As such, low temperatures are her main weakness.

Personal uses

- To preserve aura, she tends to light Grimm fur on fire to incur continuous damage rather than waste unnecessary amounts.

-Against more durable Grimm, she can heat up and burn through their defenses, giving her an armor-piercing ability.

-She tends to use her Mind-Acceleration against human foes, though only in short bursts as to not get caught lagging. (Plus, she likes to use it to stare at her partner's booty for an extended period of time, because 'He's got some nice cheeks')

Dust Interaction

-Due to the heating nature of her semblance, Fire and Lightning dust types are incredibly reactive to her. She can generate massive waves of fire or throw bolts of lightning (which she likes to call a Sunlight Spear) Though in general, she tries not to overuse this, as its reaction is extremely volatile and destructive.

-If she's dead-set on ending a fight, she can ingest raw lightning dust to massively increase her electric response within her body, and use it in tandem with her Mind Acceleration. She hates this, because she's basically electrocuting herself (though she doesn't suffer any poisoning as her body uses it up extremely quickly.)
