Been thinking lately about how it'd be nice to have a place to throw out ideas and see what sticks, letting other people give their ideas at wether or not they think a semblance would work or if it needs fine tuning. I know I work better when being able to bounce ideas off of someone.
Semblance template:
-Name:
-User(s):
-Type: Aural (adds properties to aura)/ Conjuration (anything created from aura, whether it be physical, mental, or abstract such as an illusion)/ Conversion (transforms an element into aura or aura into an element)/ Glyph(semblance manifests as glyphs)/Physical(enhances/adds/alters physical capabilities at the cost of aura)/Psychic(enhances/adds/alters mental capabilities with aura)
-Purpose: Offensive (The effect is either directly offensive, or boosts offense) / Defensive (The effect either boosts defense or protects the user. Aura/Body Recovery also counts) / Utility (The effect is neutral, neither offensive nor defensive. However, with enough creativity they can be used as such)
-Short description: (summarize the semblance in a few words.)
-Activation Cue: (how would you be able to tell the semblance is being used if it appeared on the show. examples being Yang's hair igniting, or Emerald's metallic screech)
-Range: (Personal if it works only on you; Short for stuff your aura comes in contact with; Medium for about throwing distance; Long range anything else but try not to make it farther than you can see)
-General limitations: (if a limitation is applied on most abilities, put it here as long as it isn't just the aura cost)
-Passive ability(s) (if any): (and specific limitations, if any)
-Active ability: Tier One: (and specific limitations, if any)
-Active ability: Tier Two (if applicable, add more as necessary):
-Dust interaction (insert dust type here): (describe what changes here)
-Notes: (for trivia you might want to add about the user of the semblance)
This is the template I usually use when working on my ideas, y'all can use whatever but I find this works well as a sort of checklist.
I have a concept that I'll have up later, at work at the moment. Looking forward to what we come up with.
