**Not gonna lie, I thought of Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho when this quirk came to mind. I always loved his rose whip!**



Crimson Bloom

Type: Emitter with Mutation Traits



Abilities and Features:

1. Blood Roses

The user creates sentient, adaptive roses from their blood that act on their commands or autonomously protect them.

These roses can:

Transform into weapons (blades, whips, shields, etc.).

Evolve with each attack, becoming resistant or immune to what harmed them.

Grow stronger in intelligence and power as the user becomes more skilled.

Can either become separated from the user and be self sufficient if they consume enough organic tissues (Humans, animals, plants, insects provide the best nutrients). As such, they can survive until they are destroyed in battle or terminated by the user themselves. Moreover, the user can give commands to the roses through telekinesis or they can act by themselves depending on the situation though their level of intelligence reflects what kind of choices/behaviors they will display. If their intelligence level is high, they will usually seek out mobile targets (humans, insects, or animals) to infect and control allowing them to move around in a fight to assist the user.




Quirk Markings:

When the quirk activates, bright blood-red rose  markings become visible beneath the user’s skin, pulsating with their quirk’s energy. When the quirk is not active, the rose markings become pitch black and look like cool rose tattoos.

Visual Indicator: The red markings grow paler as the user’s blood supply depletes.

Replenishment: Consuming living tissue (animal or human) restores blood levels. The roses only require small amounts to regenerate the user’s reserves, such as a few bites from a target. Alternatively, the roses can directly drink  blood since it is still connective tissue.



2. Adaptation and Evolution

The roses sample biological and quirk data from targets and environments, integrating:

Quirk Powers or Resistances: Up to 85% of the sampled ability's strength.

Immunity Boosts: Toxins, diseases, or environmental factors.

Structural Traits: Reinforced durability, flexibility, or toughness.




What the Roses Can Consume:

Living Organisms:

Humans, animals, plants, insects. Provides the strongest benefits for regeneration, quirk evolution, and adaptability.


Non-Living Organic Matter:

Wood, leather, paper, or decomposing matter offers supplementary effects like energy replenishment or structural reinforcement.


Fossilized or Ancient Organic Materials:

Petrified wood or amber can grant niche traits like toughness or longevity but are less potent.


3. Infection and Puppetry

The roses infect targets through bites, scratches, or exposure to the user’s blood, creating sentient roses within their body.

The user gains:

Control: The infected can act as living puppets.

Reversal: The infection can be reversed or terminated at will, either to spare the target or kill them instantly.

Risks:

Targets with incompatible quirks may resist the infection or may have a severe life-threatening reaction. If this occurs, recovery will not be 100% and regeneration quirks will need to be used to undue the damage they may become crippled.

For those that the roses work on, they only require  minimal tissue damage to inoculate and infect targets.



4. Mental and Psychological Resilience


The roses form a mental barrier, making the user immune to:


Psychological Attacks or Brainwashing:

The roses’ sentient network creates a chaotic, impenetrable mental structure.


Spiritual Attacks:

The user remains vulnerable but resists due to strong natural willpower.


5. Regeneration and Longevity

The roses consume organic tissue to heal the user and extend their lifespan.

The roses can consume live tissue and reabsorb into the user’s body to facilitate regeneration.

Healing Proportional to Consumption:

Minor consumption (small bites) heals surface-level wounds.

Moderate consumption repairs deeper injuries, such as organ damage or fractures.

Large consumption is required for life-threatening injuries, though this creates moral dilemmas.


Efficiency and Speed:

Healing speed and effectiveness depend on the quantity and quality of tissue consumed. Live tissue provides the strongest effect, while non-living organic materials (e.g., leather, decomposing matter) offer only minor recovery.


Energy Costs:

Healing large injuries weakens the user temporarily due to stamina loss.



Regeneration limits:

Regeneration cannot overcome damage from quirks that target biological integrity or disrupt cellular structures (e.g., corrosion and decay quirks).






Quirk Limitations and Drawbacks:


1. Addiction to Devouring:

Consuming living organisms induces euphoria, especially when the target is powerful. This can create a dangerous addiction, tempting the user to overuse the ability.


2. Moral Dilemmas:

The user must choose between consuming non-living matter (less effective) and living organisms (morally questionable).

3. Energy Costs:

Using the roses excessively depletes the user’s stamina, especially if regeneration or infection abilities are employed frequently.


4. Evolutionary Lag:

Non-living organic matter provides fewer immediate benefits compared to living tissue, requiring more time for the roses to adapt or integrate its traits.



5. Inorganic or Energy-Based Materials:

The roses cannot consume pure metals, rocks, or energy constructs unless specifically evolved for it.
