That, and wielding a katana plus an arming sword feels like Marty Sue overkill. Not that it's not possible to wield those weapons, it's just he's only eighteen years old. Seems a little young to be such a badass, and this is his present day age which means he was probably even younger when his team died. I think you should at least add some sort of time skip, that way it makes sense for him to be such a BAMF. That, and editing the heck out of that Semblance because having a Semblance that hurts the user in such a debilitating fashion feels contradictory to the concept of a Semblance. Plus, aren't Semblances supposed to be unique to the individual? If four people have the exact same Semblance, that in itself defies the canon. Now, if they had similar Semblances that would be fine, but this is just too similar. It's a cool idea though, for there to be four people of great power gathered together for a single purpose...reminds me of an anime I'm watching called Akatsuki no Yona. But, I don't think that's a good thing. Anyways, apologies if I overstepped my boundaries in any way, I'm just trying to offer my perspective on this OC of yours, ShadowFiend. They don't have the same Semblance, Blood Semblance is a genetical defect, Ciaran's semblance is called Spectre. But i will take in suggestions so do feel free to discuss
