Hey, I noticed you mentioned in a comment that your OC Lilian's Semblance was Stagnation. An OC I'm working on right now has a bit of a similar Semblance; his is called Force Negation, and I'm hoping you could help me with some advice or improvement ideas. Force Negation allows him to basically exert force onto objects equal to the force currently acting on it but in the opposite direction, e.g. stopping a projectile (nothing we haven't seen before, Glynda and Cinder can do it without even thinking about it), resisting the effects of a blunt weapon by stopping it the moment it comes into contact with him, or withstanding the force of an explosion (just the knockback, not the flames).

Anything with an aura has some amount of resistance to it, but the force of, say, a punch would be considerably weakened. One thing I was wondering is if my OC could use this to counteract gravity, with the drawbacks of limited mobility - he can only glide in one direction and only after pushing off something; he can't just fly - and possibly a short duration or high energy/aura cost (leaving him fatigued with extended use). I think the limitations would keep this from being too powerful; would this be alright?

Finally, he can also transfer his Semblance into objects he's in direct contact with, but to negate a force using an object that has his Semblance takes more energy/aura than it does to regularly block it with his own body. He uses a small armguard that can expand into a much larger shield, so at the cost of extra energy/aura he can block projectile attacks in a very large area from one direction.

If you'd like to answer a question or give me a tip but need more info, I would be happy to answer any questions you have about the OC! Thanks for reading :)
