Spiderbind

**Spiderbind** (蜘蛛縛り, *Kumo Shibari*) is the name of the Quirk used by Shibara Kōsoku.

### Description

Spiderbind allows Shibara Kōsoku to create and shoot spider silk threads from her body. Specifically, she can produce her threads from the skin of certain parts of her body, limited to the areas of her ankles to her toes, her elbows and knees, as well as her wrists to her fingertips. She can also produce threads from her mouth.

Shibara is able to create both sticky and non-sticky silk; with training, she has managed to increase the already-potent stickiness of her webs. Her webs at base strength are considered five times stronger than steel; with training this multiplier has been increased slightly. Due to the non-rigid composition of her webs (the ability to bend, twist, flex, etc), her webs are highly resistant to blunt force damage. Breaking or cutting a certain string of the web, does not dissolve the whole web; the damage is contained to only that particular strand, and the rest of the web maintains it's shape.

### Usage

* **Spiderweb Binding**: Using her silk, Shibara can directly bind and capture her opponents.
* **Spider-Climb**: By releasing a small amount of thin, nearly invisible, and sticky spider silk threads from her feet (or hands), Shibara can climb and run up walls.
* **Widow's Nest**: By creating a series of webs stacked between her and her opponent, akin to a laser security system, Shibara can create a difficult-to-pass terrain that can stall, hinder, or potentially entagle her opponents or pursuers.
* **Spider-Swing**: Using her spider silk, Shibara can latch onto nearby walls, surfaces, or other objects, and swing over to them, enabling her to traverse terrain quickly, gain higher ground, and to essentially "fly".
* **Rescue**: Spibara's webs are well suited for preventing, or at least delaying, collapsing ceilings and crumbing architecture. She can create a massive spider web to catch falling people, or to hold up entire building floors from falling.
* **Trial by Fire**: A combination move that requires Shibara to first bind an opponent with her sipder threads. Afterwards, an ally will light her silk on fire, burning the victim.

### Weaknesses & Limitations

* **Indiscriminate Stickiness**: Although Shibara is capable of producing her own spider silk threads, she is just as vulnerable to the stickiness of her own webs as anybody else is. The only exception to this are her hands and feet, which have an oily coating that protects against adhesion; the webs will still be somewhat adhesive (for grip).
* **Selective Emmition Region**: Shibara can only create webs from certain parts of her body (i.e. Hands, Feet, Knees, Elbows & Mouth).
* **Adversion to Fire**: Shibara's webs, while incredibly strong and resiliant, are prone to fire-based attacks, which can easily burn away her webs with little difficulty.
* **Web Capacity**: Like Taping Hero: Hanta Sero, Shibara has a limited reserve of spider silk that she can use before running out for a short time. With training, she has managed to increase her maximum capacity and shooting speed.
* **Quirk Overuse**: Overusing her quirk causes Shibara's arms and legs (but not mouth) to become increasingly numb. If this progresses far enough, she will become unable to stand, walk, or use her arms effectively for a short period of time. Forcing herself to contiue producing webs beyond this point can result in her becoming unable to feel her limbs entirely for up to an entire day.
