The bullet would hit you, and I doubt you would have enough reflex speed to pull a card like Negate Attack (that must be set up first) before the bullet reaches you.

-If they are attached to it, then if a monster is destroyed, no matter it's position, you would technically receive damage. Since it's your Aura what's being destroyed, and like you said, LP=Your Aura. As for the Marty Stu part, you honestly don't give the impression that you would make someone that is not a Marty Stu, at least on your first try. Your apparent knowledge of YMMV tells me you are a TvTroper, in which case there may be some hope. As slim as it is.

-So you think that your Semblance should be that, because your friends compared you to those Yugioh characters? If your Semblance is Yugioh, your Deck, with all it's cards, would technically be the Semblance. With no Deck, no Semblance for you. You can't play Yugioh with no cards you know.

In other words, your ego makes you think you should have such a powerful Semblance that basically ignores Canon for the most part, because your friends told you you were like these 2 Yugioh characters and that makes you feel a lot more special than you really are.

What about "destroy card instantly" type of cards? Are they insta-kill? What about Exodia? or Any other card that lets you win instantly under set conditions (like just waiting 20 freaking turns). Well, if a monster is present, then the bullet will hit the monster, or the monster will dive in front and take the hit, unless it's a "direct attack" effect. You can't attack directly without an effect to do so in Yu-Gi-Oh! after all. Firing at the Oc when there's a monster present is thusly treated as an attack on the monster.

No, if the monster is in defense position, then its destruction would, in my mind, cushion the aura from damage even if it was attached to it. Unles piercing, which breaks through the cushioning. As they say, impressions can be deceiving. It matters not to me what yours is.

Well, yes, no deck, no semblance, but I do have multiple decks. And of course, there are also weapons and conventional fighting. The world doesn't need to revolve around semblance.

In other words, no, I don't feel special as a person, just figured I'd try something out of the box for semblance.

I envision cards that destroy monsters would insta-kill Grimm, maybe damage people somewhat, but since other people don't have LP meters in the sense the OC does, then I envision a strong enough person can survive it, just like how a strong enough person might be able to cut his way out of a Fiendish Chain.
