Lightning Rod

Quirk

Quirk Name: Lightning Rod

Quirk Type: Mutation

Quirk Overview:

This quirk enables the user to conduct, harness, store and discharge electricity from one's body. The quirk scales directly off of environmental factors around the user, so if they were in a city, it would be possible for them to draw the energy out of nearby electronics, storing it for their own use. It reaches its peak in thunderstorms, in which the user reaches the full use of their quirks potential, due to the static in the air, and the lightning, acting virtually as a human lightning rod. However, if the user was in an area such as a forest, on a cloudless sunny day, the quirk would be reduced to what they had stored prior to entering the area.

Quirk Limits/Drawbacks:

When too much electricity is stored, or it is used too quickly and in too vast of a quantity, it can quickly begin to destroy the users body, causing skin damage and nerve damage towards outer extremities.

Quirk Strengths: It is a very good offensive quirk, as an efficient user can discharge the electricity from any point in their body, as well it’s ability to scale in power depending on the location of the user.

Quirk Weaknesses: The strength of the quirk depends on the location in which the user is standing, so being in an area that has little to no electricity, nor static would render the quirk weak, and the user vulnerable. It also has the potential to cause collateral damage, such as blackouts when used in the cities, or direct harm if discharged in an irresponsible manner.

Future Development: The sole user of this quirk is a pro-hero, and he has developed it as far as he can, however if in the hands of a student, it could be possible for them to learn how to better control the discharged electricity, as well as being able to store more without causing damage to their body.

Extra Info:

The quirk reaches its most powerful/dangerous in the midst of severe thunderstorms.
