Alright, anyone remember that character that I couldn't decide much on whether to base her on Cu Chulainn or Scathatch? Decided to go with Chulainn in the end. Thought of 2 Semblance ideas for her.

-Name: Relentless Stand

-User: Haven't thought of a name yet for her (Original name was Scaíth, but now that she's based on Cu Chulainn that won't fit). (Also, off-topic, but why does the template say "user(s)", with a possible plural, if Semblances are supposed to be unique?)

-Type: Physical

-Purpose: Utility

-Short description: Instantly eliminates all momentum and physical forces affecting the user, and absorbs any received afterwards, thus nothing, not even the strongest hit, will move her.

Pain received increases during the effect. (Natural) Gravity is not affected by the Semblance, and if used in the air the user stops for a moment and then begins falling directly downwards. Should the user be KOd, or their Aura gets brought down to 0%, while the effect is active, they will remain standing up.

-Activation Cue: The user's body starts to gradually glow brightly and then makes a small "burst" of light once the effect is over.

-Range: Personal

-General limitations: While the user can try to move while the effect is in place, it is extremely awkward and difficult due to the lack of momentum.

-Tier One: The effect is Active: It lasts for a total of 1.5 seconds every time it's used.

-Tier Two:  The effect is Sustained: It can be held indefinitely, with a constant Aura cost.

-Dust interaction: Covers the user in an elemental Aura that activates when hit by something, creating a small elemental backlash. For example: Steam makes it release smoke when hit, and Gravity creates a small "force push" outwards when hit.

-Notes: Based on Cu Chulainn's badassery. He was so badass, in fact, that when he was fatally wounded in battle, he tied himself to a stone and died standing up. And his fierce badassery was so much that everyone still thought he was alive until well after the battle, when a raven stood on his shoulder.

-Name: Beast Within

-Type: Physical

-Purpose: Offensive

-Short description: Pushes the body beyond it's limits, and unleashes one's primal instincts.(Boosts muscle strength, but makes one act and think more savagely and animalistically).

-Activation Cue: A black, shadowy aura covers the user. Her right eye gains a huge red glow that covers it whole, while her left eye gains a extremely tiny red glowing dot that can barely be seen. The user's voice sounds similar to a wolf during the effect.

-Range: Personal

-Type of Cost: Sustained (constant Aura cost to maintain the effect).

-General Limitations: The user feels momentarily dizzy and disoriented when the effect ends.

-Tier One: Boosts muscle strength, making the user much stronger, tougher, and agile. However, inteligence and rational thinking drops, making the user act more like a monster or animal than a human.

-Tier Two: The user can retain some rational sense during the effect, behaving less like a savage monster, and more like a very angry warrior.

-Dust interaction: Causes small elemental bursts when hitting something hard enough.

-Notes: I found once on TvTropes that Cu Chulainn apparently had a "Super Mode" that basically turned him into a monster (or more precisely, like a Berserker straight out of Fate, if anyone here knows about Fate/Stay Night). While I'm not sure how correct it was, the idea was charming enough.
