Name: Skinchanger (Dermal Theft):

Type: Transmutation

Description: By removing a certain amount of skin from their victim and attaching it to their own body using Nen, the user of this ability can take on the physical appearance and characteristics of that person. This ability mimics the victim’s physical appearance, voice etc. However, the user still retains their original personality and memories, and does not gain access to the memories of the person they are imitating. This ability also allows the user to mimic the appearance of the victim’s aura. (see below for the limitation of this).

The amount of time that this disguise lasts is based on the amount of skin used. This time comes out at 30 minutes for every square centimetre of skin taken. Limitations:

1: Although the user can imitate the appearance of the victim’s Nen, they cannot use the Hatsu(s) of their victim.

2: Additionally, whilst the user can use the victim’s Nen, they cannot use Nen in excess of what they would be capable of in their original body. This ability is a purely physical change.

3: The victim must remain alive whilst this ability is active. If the victim should die, the disguise will immediately disappear.

4: The disguise will also immediately terminate if the original victim is able to get within 10 metres of the user and shout the words: “Unravel, Skinchanger!”. This limitation must be explained to the victim before the user can take their appearance.

5: The duration of the disguise is cut in half if the user attempts to transform into a person of the opposite sex. Additionally, transforming into a considerably younger or older person will cause a jarring, dissasociative effect that reduces the user’s ability to concentrate in their disguise.
