Semblance Idea for an OC

User: Strom Argentum

Name: Hand of Doom

Description: By leaving an imprint of aura from the palm of his hand on something, he can effectivly alter a person's mind and how it works so long as they view or touch said imprint. These effects range from slowing down the target's perception of time to even suffocating them. As his Tier-power increases, so does the range of thing he can imprint on, from solids, to liquids, to even dense gasses. This power of his works on all living beings, inlcuding grimm.

Semblance Category: Psychic, Cognition Hazard

Type: Utility

Range: Long (As far as the eye can see for Tier 1) to Close (Physical contact for Tier 3)

Visual Que: A literal imprint of Aura in the shape of a palm. The higer the tier, the more detailed the palm (Eg. Finger-prints, creases, scars)

Tiers:

1- The weakest of the tiers, upon looking at an imprint, the target's perception of time will decrease. However, their thoughts moving at an accelerated rate, and their body will have difficulty keeping up with their thoughts.

2- A medium range imprint, in which the target has to view the imprint from within a maximum range of 15 meters. The effect of the accelerated thoughts is much greater, to the point where the target will struggle to breathe as their nervous system is working faster than their lungs can operate. Strom can now imprint on liquids.

3- The deadliest of the imprints, but with the shortest range. Strom must either make direct skin-contact with the person, or the target must directly contact the imprint. However, doing so almost guarantees a kill: their thoughts move so fast that everything but the target's brain essentially shuts down, all the oxygen in their body immediately used up to try and prolong their death. He can now imprint on dense gasses (Eg. Smoke, Smog, Mist)

Weaknesses

-Does not work on mechanical beings.

-Heavily armored opponents are unaffected by Tier 3, as skin contact needs to be made. Larger beings may need to be hit multiple times for the full effect to take place.

-...Just don't look at it or touch it, duh :P (Though that's harder than it sounds)

-Higher tiers have a shorter duration. Tier 1 lasts 5 minutes, Tier 2 lasts 1 minute, Tier three lasts 5-10 seconds.

-Cut off his hands, and you disable his semblance entirely. (Though it is still compatible with prosthetics.)

-At least 50% of his hand needs to be touching something to create a successful imprint, so just using one finger won't work.

-Aura can mitigate the effects of his semblance, so it's best to wear someone down first.

Personal Uses

-As bullets are too small, Strom uses thick throwing-knives, which are especially effective

-Strangely, he enjoys using his semblance in hot showers and saunas, the steam being dense enough to support his imprint. Plus, he finds it funny when someone dies trying to shower.

-As an assassin, he rarely uses his semblance on Grimm.

Dust Applications: N/A

Inspiration: The Black Sabbath song, The Hand of Doom
