**I had a lot of fun with this quirk~♡!**

**It's probably one of my favorites because it has a bunch of applications so it goes beyond just combat. **

Hope you guys like it!

And if you make a story, please tell me about it because I'd love to read it.♡


Dismantle:

Type: Emitter

Range: 10 meters (spherical radius from the user)

Trigger: Visual confirmation + conscious will, physical direct or indirect touch, or a triggered surge when the user loses control.

Function: Controlled breakdown of materials, compounds, elements, and forces



Description:

Dismantle allows the user to break down anything-physical, elemental, or energetic-within a 10-meter radius into its base components, compounds, or forces. This process can be triggered through direct touch, indirect contact (e.g., grazed by debris or projectiles), or by willing the dismantling of something within range and in sight.

The quirk functions on the user's willpower, proficiency, and focus, granting them variable control over the level of dismantling. This means the user can choose to fully disintegrate a material into raw atoms, or partially deconstruct it-for example, removing only a weapon's trigger mechanism, or just neutralizing the combustion process in an explosion.

Dismantle operates only when the user consciously activates it. It does not automatically trigger just because something enters their range. However, if the user loses emotional or mental control (due to trauma, fear, exhaustion, etc.), a defensive surge of dismantling may activate and indiscriminately break down anything within their radius.

The quirk is visually dependent-the user must see the target to intentionally dismantle it with precision. Indirect dismantling (such as touching a surface that an object is on, or dismantling something carried by air like gas) is possible so long as it's within proximity and awareness.


Scope of Dismantling:

The quirk applies not only to physical matter, but also:

Compounds and molecules (e.g., water, smoke, gases)

Chemical reactions (e.g., combustion, corrosion, burning)

Elements (e.g., fire, lightning, earth, ice)

Forces (e.g., kinetic energy, air pressure, shockwaves)

Air-based attacks or gases (e.g., poison clouds, soundwaves)

The ability to dismantle intangible effects is limited by the user's focus, stamina, and how directly the force interacts with the user or the surrounding space.





Combat Applications:

Offensive (Solo):

Disarm & Disable: Instantly dismantle enemy weapons, gear, or support structures.

Element Erasure: Disassemble elemental quirks like fire, ice, or earth as they form or make contact.

Chain Breakdown: Sequentially dismantle an enemy's armor or quirk-made body modifications in layers.

Force Severing: Dismantle the energy or pressure behind an attack, halting it mid-motion.


Defensive (Solo):

Quirk Counter: Dissipate quirk-based attacks such as fireballs, ice lances, or air blasts before impact.

Barrier Creation: Rapidly dismantle terrain around the user to generate defensive spacing or blockades.

Neutralization Field: When overwhelmed, trigger a dismantling pulse to clear the immediate area of all threats.


Team Combat:

Rescue Ally: Dismantle bindings, traps, or enemy constructs trapping a teammate.

Battlefield Control: Collapse parts of terrain to funnel enemies or open lines of sight for snipers.

Combo Potential: Pair with elemental users to neutralize collateral damage or enhance attack accuracy (e.g., dismantling environmental fog while another uses a precision beam).



Non-Combat Applications:


Rescue & Recovery:

Debris Clearance: Remove rubble or twisted metal to access trapped victims.

Gas Neutralization: Dissolve harmful airborne chemicals or smoke during emergencies.

Controlled Entry: Break into collapsed structures without shaking unstable wreckage.



Utilitarian/Everyday Uses:

Resource Management: Break down harvested materials (wood, ore, scrap) into compact components.

Recycling & Waste Control: Dismantle refuse into safe, manageable base parts.

Transport & Construction: Reduce heavy materials for easier transport; dismantle components for quick repurposing.

Crafting Support: Extract parts from machinery or raw materials for repair or improvisation in the field.



Tactical/Deceptive Uses:

Silent Entry: Dismantle locks, hinges, or vents without sound.

Diversions: Subtly collapse part of the environment to draw attention elsewhere.

Field Traps: Remove terrain under enemy footing or dismantle objects they use for cover.



Limitations & Drawbacks:

1. Line-of-Sight Dependency:

The user must see what they want to dismantle. If it's hidden behind solid cover or outside visual range, it cannot be dismantled without clearing the obstacle first.

2. High Cognitive Load:

The more complex the target (e.g., a moving combustion reaction or molecular-level breakdown), the more mental strain it causes. Overuse leads to fatigue, migraines, dizziness, or blackouts.

3. No Reconstruction:

Dismantle is destructive only. Once something is broken down, it cannot be rebuilt or reassembled by the quirk.

4. Risk of Overreach:

If the user becomes emotionally unstable, a massive, uncontrollable dismantling pulse may trigger, affecting everything nearby-friend or foe alike.


5. Quirk Interference:

Some quirks may resist dismantling, such as quirks with enhanced molecular bonding, nullification abilities, or quirks tied to supernatural forces beyond matter/energy manipulation.

6. Emotional Toll:

The potential to dismantle living beings or cause accidental destruction weighs heavily on the user's psyche, leading to possible trauma or hesitation in life-or-death decisions.
