-Name: Status Quo Ante

-User(s): Jonquil Hawthorne

-Type: Aural/Physical(?)

-Purpose: Utility

-Short description: Prevents future changes, and makes things go back to how they were. (Yes, being artistic here. Real, specific description in the tiers).

-Tier 1: Bodies within the radius are gradually slowed down, up to 50%, except for the user. Every body's reaction to things, like forces applied on them, is also slowed down (ex: If a slash is received they would still receive a cut, but it would form 50% slower than normal).

-Tier 2: Can slow bodies down to 0%, stopping them entirely. Physical reactions are also stopped, and take place after the effect ends. If a body is in mid-air, they do not fall, but instead remain there. Basically suspended animation in the literal sense.

-Tier 3: With enough concentration and Aura, after the bodies are stopped, the user can reverse their movements, making them perform in reverse the motions they have done until they are like how and where they were up to 5 seconds before the Semblance was activated.

-Activation Cue: The area around the user gradually becomes more monochrome. When things start reversing, they regain color, but in negative.

-Range: A radius of up to 3m.

-Type of Cost: Sustained (cost increases as things slow down).

-General limitations: 1-T3's reversal does not return things to their previous state. So if a cup is broken into pieces, the pieces would move back into the area they were, but once the effect ends the pieces would just fall to the floor again.

2-The affected bodies's level of awareness is not affected by the Semblance. So one will notice their movements slowing down, stopping, and moving in reverse motion.

-Dust interaction: None.

-Reflection of Personality: Jonquil hates changes. She prefers things to stay the way they are, for the Status Quo to remain. And when things inevitably change, she often tries to bring back said Status Quo, before giving up and deciding to accept the new Status Quo.

-Notes: Designed to achieve basic temporal powers without being actual temporal powers. In layman terms, the Semblance simulates slowing time, time stop, and time reversal. In practice, it's just movement-related.
