Semblance: Rubberhose

Type: Physical

Purpose: Offensive

Short description: Allows the user to stretch and enlarge their limbs and body.

Activation cue: Rubber stretching/balloon expanding sound effect

Range: Personal

General limitations: Melanie can only stretch her limbs a certain length and expand her limbs to a specific size. She can only stretch her arms, legs, neck, torso and digits. Melanie cannot enlarge her whole body, only certain portions of it.

-Passive ability(s) (if any): Melanie has more fluid motion than the average person. Blunt force does less damage to her but is still painful.

-Dust interaction (earth): The users stretched limbs become more dense.

-Dust interaction (wind): The user can enlarge their limbs more than they could before.

-Dust interaction (water): The user can stretch their limbs further than they could before.

-Dust interaction (burn): The user can blow up like a balloon and float.

-Notes: Rubberhose is named after the old cartoon style of the same name. I'm pretty sure body modification is something that is frowned upon in this thread, if I remember correctly. Besides, super-stretchiness is all too common of an ability [not necessarily here, but in all forms of fictional mediums.]

Personally, I don't have a real problem with it, except for two things:

First, what happens to the user if they're stretched out and their Aura depletes? Do they go back to normal, or is it stuck that way?

Second, some clarification on their stretching length would be nice, if you don't mind.
