Semblance template: -Name: Re-tension

-User: Kekoa Tambor

-Introduction: The ability to increase and decrease surface tension in fluids. -Range: Medium

-Type: Physical/ Psychic

-Purpose: Utility

-Visual Cue: A slight shimmer across the surface of any altered fluid

-Auditive Cue: A soft drum beat

-Tier 1: The user is able to alter the surface tension of any fluid; increasing it to the point it is functionally solid or decreasing it so that not even the smallest of insects can stay afloat.

-General Limitations: The user’s aura must make contact with a fluid before altering its surface tension (though this contact can be indirect, such as through his weapon or clothes), and alterations will only last for one minute after breaking contact before reverting unless the effect is renewed. The Semblance can extend across the entire surface of relatively still bodies (such as a swimming pool or pond), but is limited to a 6 foot radius from the point of contact for larger, more dynamic bodies (like the ocean) and will dispel immediately if Kekoa is no longer in contact.

-Applications: -Dust Interaction: -Notes: Though the effects of many Dust types are known, Kekoa is unable to afford sufficient quantities of Dust for using multiple varieties to be viable in combat, and so he restricts himself to the use of Fire Dust in conjunction with his weapon, to carry his family’s legacy of street performers.
 * Kekoa primarily uses his semblance in combination with his weapon, a modified dragon staff which produces bubbles infused with Fire Dust, enabling the bubbles to be used as projectiles without popping, or turning them into explosives by increasing the tension to the point they burst violently when punctured.
 * Increase the surface tension of a fluid, enabling people to walk on the surface
 * Halt bleeding from an open wound by increasing the surface tension and preventing blood from spilling out (much like water can sit above the rim of a glass without spilling), or inversely decreasing the surface tension so it will spill out faster
 * Enable fluids to maintain their shape when removed from a container by increasing surface tension at specific points, mimicking the effects of being inside a solid object
 * Earth: Increase density rather than the surface tension
 * Air: Decrease density rather than surface tension
 * Fire: Causes violent, spontaneous boiling of the fluid (or combustion and explosive force for naturally volatile fluids; ie gasoline or lighter fluid) when the effect ends
 * Ice: Flash-freeze the fluid when the effect ends
 * Force: Adds a repulsive or ‘bouncy’ effect to the surface of a material
