Talk:Semblances and your OC - A Guide/@comment-27003445-20150923225224

Looking at this guide, I just thought of a possible Semblance for my OC, Voltaire Ampere. Considering the fact that he uses Dust-Augmented Tesla Gauntlets, I think it would be most fitting to give Voltaire a Semblance dealing with electricity in some way: Maybe his semblance could enhance/amplify any electrical currents within a certain distance of him (Provided they're above a minimum threshold)?

I was thinking that the positives of that would be an increased damage output, a chance to fry incoming "slow" physical projectiles (such as arrows), and a chance to overload any nearby robotic entities, though most EMP countermeasures would likely prevent that overload.

However, I think there would be some obvious drawbacks to it: Due to the nature of Voltaire's Tesla Gauntlets, he's highly likely to experience recoil damage from the use of strong attacks anyway, and the power boost from this possible Semblance would actually cause that recoil damage to scale up as well. Plus, there's probably that chance of a stray arc of amplified electricity flying off a gauntlet and hitting him in the back or something.

Since my OC already got accepted, I think I'll have to clear it with the Admin who approved him in the first place before making that change. However, I was wanting to get some opinions about the idea first to see what you people think.
