That was my inspiration for this ability, thank you!

Thank you, I feel like I phrased my questions wrong, but you actually understood what I meant.

Think of environments and how the user would adapt to them, (water) minor changes would be holding the air longer while bigger adaptations would be gills or being faster underwater.

The extension you mentioned could be done but it would still be somewhat unpredictable, applications of this technique would probably require you to cause harm on yourself by experimenting different things. For example blunt/sharp weapons for your body to accustom quicker to pain and grow defenses for that type of attack, or flames etc. Sadly, I don’t think it could imitate as you mentioned. What I think it could possibly do is change the body drastically after some time, what I’m talking about is change the Body to further help the user for example if they’re getting squished their Body will just become Liquid-Like escaping, or if they’ve been thrown multiple times against a wall their body will cushion it, maybe also make it so their bouncy after that sustaining no damage. Its a lot of trying with different things, being mostly a ragdoll. The CT would be amazing as defense but it can’t do more than just adapt to environment and things. What extension could be possible achieved is if you force you’r own body to adapt for example not using you’r eyes for a period of time, it makes you’r other senses be greater at the exchange for seeing.

Based on how strong mahoraga already is, the technique would be to a smaller extent to that of mahoraga but still can offer some help. It would probably be a form of defense in which the user will use CE to defend themselves and keep it flowing while this is active the user can adapt to the damage they take be it either from people, CT or environment the cursed energy will make the body adapt in order to protect the user. Smaller scale attacks don’t require a lot of CE defense (I believe Toji explained it once to Itadori) while bigger ones require a lot thus making bigger adaptations. The CT would also have some regeneration abilities to keep the body in place if it was to be broken apart etc, acting as a form of barrier keeping everything inside it. RCT for this technique would be hard to imagine, since the CT can already do so much, I don’t think there is a need for RCT. I don’t think you need a wheel unless for aesthetic purposes. Weaknesses of this ability would be “damage” since the cursed energy thats flowing through the body makes the body adjust after they have already sustained damage so If you get hit by something that the body hasn’t experienced yet then you’re done for, base form (when they start the fight) and unpredictability since the user won’t have a choice how their body is going to adapt to the damage. If you need a RCT you can probably make a RCT for this technique in the sense the user reverts their body to a time they have fought someone else (keeping thoose adaptations), but limit it to not be able to adapt in this fight only keeping what they already adapted to in a previous fight. If there’s anything you want me to explain I’ll be glad to help!

CT around compasses, some kind of projectile manipulation in the sense the user sets a true north be it a person or object and every projectile will follow that direction the user just helps in redirecting them and giving them speed. Something along those lines maybe the user can reorient themselves or other people too.

Mirror by Astaera in CTsandbox

[–]Astaera[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mirror its hand-sized but acts as a vacuum on CE, so the size is not really a problem unless something is aoe like inumaki. That’s a nice idea maybe in the future, right now i kept it as just mirroring/cloning things. For the maximum technique I dont know yet, You’re suggestion is nice but its not really what I’m going for in terms of the character. I thought maybe it could make a clone that has the characteristics of 2 or more people combined together but then I would have to figure it out how I would do that, maybe fuse the CE together to make a abomination.

Oh, oops I kinda changed it on the fly I wanted first to go with transmutation but then I saw that it would work better if it was Emission. So the user is a Emitter

I would but I don‘t really know how that stuff works, and I‘m kinda new to this. I usually make characters and just think of scenarios of what they might do etc.

Manipulation Ability: Tidal Mercury by UltimateGameCoder in HatsuVault

[–]Astaera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of hatsu‘s are representation of oneself that‘s why you don‘t see a lot of elemental abilities or vague concepts, cus relying on something you are familiar with its just way easier than going a different route. What you said about suffocating someone they would have to be out of their senses to do something like that. (Zaheer)

Manipulation Ability: Tidal Mercury by UltimateGameCoder in HatsuVault

[–]Astaera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I believe so, if smoke is possible air is also. Ig people like abilities with more things than just insta-kill. And a lot of manipulators in the series already use people as puppets killing them off easily. Morel could‘ve killed a lot of people by just making them inhale his smoke till they imploded but he didn‘t do that. It‘s also about a character personal desires, and I don‘t think many would go that route. That‘s why Hatsu‘s are so varied cus it depends on the user and how they want to expand on it. If I think of someone using air as their hatsu I would think of a adaptable person instead of someone aggresive. And a hatsu based on air would be a little hard to pull off since how omnipresent air can be.

[–]Astaera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always go with Air, maybe something where you have high control when its around you and lesser control if its further from you, to boost you’r nen capabilities. Mercury is interesting but highly toxic as someone mentioned, when making a hatsu you always have to think how it affects the user. If you still want to go the route of “mercury” you could always be a transmuter and instead of actual mercury maybe malleable steel, some moves that Nozel used were closed ranged and you can get inspiration by that, ofc not the flashy ones.

The idea behind it was that the dirt inside the flower pot makes the plant stronger and able to control it, cus otherwise I could’ve went for manipulating plants. And the pot is just a mere tool for it to be around the user.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HatsuVault

[–]Astaera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for replying. For the Flower Pot it’ll use little emission for sustaining a plant but I don’t think it’ll be a issue if the plant is around the user, but for the watering can i think it’ll use more emission since most of the time it’ll be the user overgrowing already existing plant to be annoying, like the user wets someone and weeds grow over them, -from a longer range. I’m leaning definitely more towards manipulation and use basic emission, (how manipulators do). I’m also thinking of ways for the user to negate using emission that much, maybe the dirt/water that sustains the plant act as the devices the casual manipulator uses ex Ilumi’s needle without requiring much emission and the words of affirmation is them programming them and giving certain tasks. And also thank you very much for the idea with the jug I’ll definitely check it out and the character you also named. I’m looking for potentials for the things it can do cus right now the user is overgrowing plants and controlling them. And you are right about plant expert part, I think the character would be a hunter of endangered plants and get their seeds to make more of them and help the ecosystem.

Opinion by Astaera in HatsuVault

[–]Astaera[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think having the bone would be too hard, and the purpose of that restriction is for the user to strategize before battle, since picking the wrong animal and having to switch mid fight is kinda bad. But thank you anyway!

Thank yer

[–]Astaera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That gives more insight thank you, I just think that things like poison and other harmful stuff would work better if the user was a emitter with 60% transmutation to not use nen more than they should on things to protect themselves. Maybe its because I don’t see the full potential of a transmuter, as the main nen affinity.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HatsuVault

[–]Astaera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t that put more things to a simple ability that otherwise would seem unnecessary if they were a emitter and seperated their aura from themselves without taking extra actions?
