-Name: Winter of Summer

-User(s): Sol Styx

-Type: Physical / Psychic

-Purpose: Offensive / Defensive

-Short description: Improves different physical or mental capabilities of the user, along with their personality, depending and proportional to the temperature in the surrounding environment.

Details: The more hot the surrounding environment is, the stronger the user is physically, meaning they can hit harder and run faster. Personality-wise, they become proportionally more energetic, optimistic, and joyful.

The more cold the surrounding environment is, the more tolerant the user becomes against pain. Personality-wise, they become more calm, focused, attentive, and cynical.

Do note, what matters is the environment's temperature, not the user's. It's irrelevant whether the user feels hot or cold, what matters is if the area around them is hot or cold.

-Activation Cue: In hot areas, the user's eyes and hair become proportionally more orange. In cold areas, the user's eyes and hair become proportionally more blue. (Note: The effect is passive, and Qrow's passive Semblance doesn't seem to have a sound cue, so unless I'm mistaken, not adding one this time).

-Range: Personal for the buffs. For what counts as "environment": The area around the user in a 40m radius.

-General limitations: The Semblance has a hard-cap of 0º - 40º (Celsius), whichtranslates to 100% of the respective "buffs" (in other words, the user would, in the case of 40º, be twice as strong than they normally are). No matter how lower/higher the environment's temperature is from those degrees, the effects won't get any stronger.

This also means that at an hypothetical "perfect" 20º, it provides no buffs whatsoever of either sort.

-Passive ability: The Semblance itself is passive. Besides itself: A higher (though not huge) tolerance against high/low temperatures.

-Dust interaction: By itself, none. But, things like Fire and Ice can be used to provide some degree of control over the environment's temperature.

-Notes: Based on the Allayi's faction trait in Endless Legend: They are a native species of Auriga, with such a deep connection to the planet that they change along with her. Their "Shifter Nature" means that their units have different bonuses and strategies during Summer and Winter.

In Summer, they are generally more supportive and defensive, and the faction gets bonuses to "pacifist" diplomacy like proposing peace treaties or alliances. In Winter, they are generally more debuffing and offensive, and the faction gets bonuses to "war-related" diplomacy like declaring war.
