Split Genesis:

**Quirk name refers to the ability of the user to divide and to create new entities**

The user possesses the ability to create and control doppelgangers through two primary methods: binary fission (dividing themselves using their own energy to make copies) or parasitizing other humans and turning them into copies. These doppelgangers are biologically identical to the original and indistinguishable through standard physical or genetic testing. However, each doppelganger can possess one unique quirk chosen by the user, offering immense versatility in combat and other scenarios.


Mechanics:

1. Binary Fission Creation:

The user splits a part of their energy to generate doppelgangers.

Limitations:

Up to 10 doppelgangers can be created in 24 hours.

Energy-intensive, leaving the user physically fatigued and possibly incapacitated after excessive use.

2. Parasitic Creation:

By making physical contact, the user implants a parasitic entity into a human host, rewriting their biology and converting them into a doppelganger.

Advantages:

Minimal energy cost to the user, as the transformation draws on the host’s energy.

Near-infinite potential, limited only by the user’s mental stamina. Though it is possible to leave copies 'on standby ' meaning that the parasite remains dormant inside the host and only activates when the user triggers the transformation through a mental command. This way the user saves their mental stamina by not activating and simultaneously utilizing every single infected host. Doing this also allows the host to live normally and avoid any type of suspicion or detection.

Moreover, through parasitizing, the user gains access to the host's memories and experiences, making this method ideal for reconnaissance or infiltration.

It must be noted however that once someone is parasitized, there is no way to save or recover them unless the user themselves reverses the transformation and returns the body to the infected. Any other forceful method that is utilized will either cause the death of the infected or irreversible damage that can be both physical and psychological.

In terms of detection risk, all created doppelgangers (be it by binary fission or parasitic creation) are both physically and biologically indistinguishable. Doppelgangers can only be  identified by skilled psychics who can trace the shared mental link to the original user.

Due to the sheer versatility and power of this quirk, the user  can become overconfident. By overestimating their limits, they can easily disregard the accumulating mental strain and end up becoming vulnerable in front of enemies during fights when they become unable to utilize their quirk or if they outright lose consciousness due to extreme overuse.


Doppelganger Characteristics:

Quirks: Each doppelganger can wield one quirk, chosen and designed by the user based on the situation.

Examples include enhanced strength, illusions, regeneration, or elemental abilities.

Physical Enhancements: The user can further enhance their doppelgangers' physical capabilities (speed, stamina, strength, durability) at the cost of rapidly burning out the host’s body.
