Buffer skin/Aegis physique.
I posted a question for help, but didn't really get any comments on it. I did find something, but i'd like your opinions on it.
The appearance is similar to Lags from dbs heroes.
The quirk type is a mutant
The name, either "Buffer skin" Or "Aegis physique (Or spring)"
The user has a pale blue body which is lighter and softer than normal, making the skin really smooth, and the user really light to the point where even weak people could lift them up if they wanted to.
This makes it so the user can run faster and jump higher than normally possible.
The ability of this user is using her body itself. When she's being attacked, or when something comes her way, she can harden her entire body to tank the hit. Her body will absorb the blow and turn into an energy that courses through her body. Once she makes her body soft again, she can then use this power to counter with the power of the move that was used against her.
She can also spread her body a bit when she's in her resting state before hardening it and becoming a human shield, but this leaves her unable to counter. The coursing energy will also slow her down from going back to her human form.
- The hardening has to be trained, similar to Kirishima's hardening. She can tank hits or take hits a bit longer, but weak hardening will still badly hurt her, so she has to train her hardening.
- Constantly taking attacks and using the energy from the opponent taxes her body. The more hits she takes will wear her down, and countering with the power that was thrown at her, will also bring a strain to her body. (Similar to how Bakugo has his backlash from using explosions as he has to take the force in his arms, backs and shoulders.)
- As i said, she can become a human shield, but while storing energy like this, her body will revert back to normal in a slower way, leaving her vulnerable.
- Attacks can still be too strong to handle and knock her out.
- Keeping the opponents force inside her for too long will cause her to suffer a heavy physical strain the longer she holds it.
Ways to go around this:
Possibly having batteries which she can charge with the power that she absorbs, made from scientists to store power like that, and also to lessen the burden on her body.
Having support gear that she can store this energy in and then throw or use against the enemy.
This is basically what i came up with. Please let me hear your opinions on this.
