@Ray: Precisely that difficulty is what interests me. I don't make OCs, this was more a question of how exactly it would work in that scenario due to the connection to a person's personality.

Also semblance doing multiple things, beating a dead horse here but Weiss. Family semblance special I know but it shouldn't be exempt from other normal sembalnce rules and limits. I'm personally fine with Weiss' Semblance being as strong as it is. It's given an in-universe explanation for why she is so Special Snowflake (her whole family, for that matter), and she's a main character. Besides, even with her totally awesome Semblance, she still gets her ass handed to her, so she's not Mary Sue. She's just special. Everyone in this world is special.

Going back to the split-personality discussion. I do believe the best route in such a scenario is, as I said, a Semblance that represents the fractured nature of the personality rather than something that simultaneously represents all personalities at once. That being said, I acknowledge the possibility that such a "split-Semblance" could eventually exist in canon, because it's feasible when taking into account the rules by which Semblances operate. It could even still be balanced if each individual piece of the Semblance is far weaker and more limited than they would be if they belonged to a normal person. I just think that such a think is very iffy territory to descend into with OCs unless/until it's acknowledged to some extent in canon.
