...you made a Semblance called Relentless Stand, a couple threads after I made one called Fortitude. I can't do links rn, but they're both on the SSMASLE. If up compare them, you'll see that they're almost point or point the exact same thing, right down to the pain-increasing side effect and flash-of-light activation cue. They're not so "exactly the same" though....

-RS doesn't just give an increase to resistance against pressure and impact. It, outright, nullifies momentum (instantly) on the user along with all other forces acting on her except (natural) gravity. Which, admittedly, I should rewrite, because in hindsight I see what such a thing implies.

-RS's activation cue is a gradually-increasing glow finished with a burst of light. Yours is just a flash, more on the lines of what Jaune did back in Forever Fall.

-RS has Dust Interaction, Fortitude does not.

-RS forces the user to remain standing still, or at most can try to move outrageously awkwardly and with heavy difficulty due to having no momentum. Fortitude makes it hard to move quickly, but, it's not the same extent as RS's, which is more like being petrified in practice.

-Fortitude "justifies" the effect via "making the Aura denser"....somehow. RS doesn't, it simply nullifies momentum and co. just because.
