So, I decided to do an emotionally based Semblance in part inspired by Ren's power, but with a completely different function.  Semblance template :

-Name: Empath's Cry

-User(s): N/A

-Type: Physical(enhances/adds physical capabilities at the cost of aura)

 -Purpose: Utility (The effect is neutral, neither offensive nor defensive. However, with enough creativity they can be used as such)

-Short description: The user can link with up to 3 other people and give them physical or cognitive boosts based on the current emotion the user is feeling. Fewer affectees and a closer distance enhances the effects.

 -Activation Cue: A faint glow the color of the user's Aura color will appear among the affected persons. The glow gets brighter with greater emotion.

 -Range: Medium to Long range

-General limitations:

<span style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">1) The user cannot get boosts from their own Semblance.

<p style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:normal;margin:1em0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><span style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">2) Some emotions, such as sadness, provide negative effects.

<p style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:normal;margin:1em0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><span style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">3) Ratio of effectiveness to Aura cost becomes less efficient when user has it activated when far away from teammates. (Meaning, if the affected person is farther away when activated, they are less affected than someone close by the activation sight.)

<p style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:normal;margin:1em0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"> -Passive ability(s) (if any): Can provide greater emotional support (figuratively and literally) to those who need it.

<p style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:normal;margin:1em0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><span style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Active ability: Tier One: Provides a 20% boost or 15% decrease to a certain attribute based on the current emotion.

<p style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:normal;margin:1em0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><span style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Active ability: Tier Two: 25% boost and 10% decrease.

<p style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:normal;margin:1em0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><span style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;">-Dust interaction: N/A

<p style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:normal;margin:1em0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"> -Notes: N/A

<p style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:normal;margin:1em0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:normal;margin:1em0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"> I'll provide specific attributes for the specific emotions when I'm free, but right now I'm pressed for time, and I just want my idea out there.

<p style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:normal;margin:1em0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"> Constructive critique, suggestions, and comments are always welcome.
