Adsorption

**Quirk Range** | Close - Medium Range

Adsorption (吸着 Kyūchaku) is a Transformation-Type Quirk.

## **Basic description:**

Adsorption allows the User to absorb both Matter and Energy.

## **Abilities:**

* **Absorption:** The main ability of this Quirk is the ability to absorb
	+ **Matter Absorption:** This Quirk grants the user the ability to absorb Matter. This Quirk is not limited to Inorganic Materials, meaning the user could absorb anything ranging from Steel to Tree Bark.
		- **Armour Creation:** The User of this Quirk can create armor by absorbing any material and creating a covering of the absorbed material around themselves. When doing this, they gain all the attributes of the absorbed material whilst also being immune to the harmful effects of said material. (i.e If they absorbed and created armour out of a radioactive substance, their armour would emit radiation, whilst the user would become immune to the radiation.
			* **Super Strength/Durability:** When the User creates armor out of a material, they gain superhuman strength and durability relative to the material they absorbed.
			* **Weapon Creation:** After absorbing a material, the User can shape their limbs into all different kinds of melee weapons. Although the limb in question has to be covered in the absorbed material.
	+ **Energy Absorption:** This Quirk also grants the User the ability to absorb Energy as well as Matter. Although absorbing energy is much more taxing on the User's body than absorbing Matter, so this ability is rarely used outside of certain situation. Absorbed energy also dissipates over time, even if left unused.
		- **Quirk Copying:** A side effect of the Energy absorption is the ability to absorb Quirks. The absorbed Quirk is weaker than the original Quirk, but the user can use multiple different copied Quirks at the same time. (i.e The user could copy 3 different Quirks, and then use the abilities of all 3 Quirks at the same time.)

## **Limitations and side effects:**

In order to create armor out of a material, the User needs to absorb the amount of material that would be needed to coat their body in the material. So the User wouldn't be able to create full metal armour out of pocket change.

The Users Strength and Durability is limited by the material they absorb. This means that if the user absorbed concrete, their armor, and by extension their body, would only be as durable and strong as concrete.

Absorbing energy is more taxing on the User's body than absorbing matter, This is because absorbed energy is stored inside the User's body, where as absorbed matter is only used externally.

A side effect of the Quirk's Energy Absorption ability is the ability to temporarily copy someone else's Quirk by grabbing onto them and absorbing their Energy. Due to this being a side effect of the Quirk's powers, the User's body is not prepared to handle multiple Quirks. The severe strain put on the User's body by the multiple Quirks causes a degradation of the User's Psyche, resulting in Aggression, Mood Swings, and even Insanity if enough energy is absorbed. Once the energy that is absorbed by the User dissipates, their sanity will slowly return to them.

## Trivia

This Quirk is named "Adsorption" because of it's ability to coat the user's body in an absorbed substance, and is a reference to the chemical process of the same name. The process of adsorption involves separation of a substance from one phase accompanied by its accumulation or concentration at the surface of another. I totally didn't name it that because "Absorption" and "Absorb" were taken.

I used both "Armour" and "Armor" in order to confuse and/or agitate as many people as possible
