Quirk Needing approval; Stem Cell quirk

Stem Cells

Ability: - The user's brain stem has mutated and now produces a special type of programmable cell, very much similar to a stem cell, that works at a much faster rate. These cells move throughout the users body via the blood stream but can pass through the users skin for ease of use. This cell is originally blank and can be "told" to do anything biological, within reason, eg. Multiply at an insanely fast rate(cancer), create a certain toxin, form a group of clotting agents. Because the cells are biological in nature, they will automatically break down and stop working after a few turns, which are dictated by control rank.

Degeneration of Cells

Limit Per Rank


Due to the medical nature of this quirk, they naturally gain the first of the Medical EP tree, First Aid, for free.

Limitations: - These cells do not affect inorganic matter and will not affect any other species until C-rank. The cells have to come into contact with biological matter before they are activated, and cannot be dispersed through the air or ground. To make a limb, organ, or any other kind of matter the user must follow the supplied table for how many posts it takes to make a certain part. The posts are cumulative. The created material cannot be attached to anything while being made, and so must be attached after completion.
Creation Table

Because making something is more complex than just mending something, the user has to fully focus on the task. If disrupted, the cells stop and 1 post must be spent applying new cells and coaching them to grow like the previous ones before building is continued. The organic matter made from someones DNA cannot exceed their control rank (eg if the users rank is A, they cannot make S-ranked material. If they are making a limb for a C-rank character, that limb cannot exceed C-rank). When going over the limit, the user suffers a -2 to stamina and accuracy for two posts.

Theme: The fact that stem cells have been used to grow back someone's spinal cord and have them walk again, and use the frame of a pig heart to make a working humans heart.

How do the number of cells available matter? Does placing a single stem cell on someone begin a healing process that fixes whatever injury is being targeted over time? How long do these cells require in order to become dedicated to whatever the user wants?

I was just trying to put a limit on the amount of cells someone has at their disposal so, for example, they can't just go running around using their quirk willy nilly. Although now that I think about it the LP available would do that...

Yes, a single cell would start producing cells to fix the injury and continue until it degenerates. The larger the injury, naturally the longer it takes to heal. Do you want me to put that down in the quirk?

I'm not too sure what you're meaning by the last question....If it's within the users body, they start working instantly. If it's directed somewhere else, they'd start going to work as soon as they've reached the area, so in one post?

I'm sorry, it seems like I've made a mess of this quirk. But I do love the idea and it's certainly rooted in science. If I can get help directing this to getting approved, that'd be awesome~ However if you think that the concept won't fit within the site, that's fine too I suppose.

So how does the injury heal with the application of stem cells (for our system)?

If someone gets their arm cut off, could these cells be applied and lead to the regrowth of a new one? Or are these cells more for closing wounds that are far less severe?

May main intention for this quirk is that at higher ranks (B+ although I could change it to A+) the person can use their cells to copy another's DNA to make "custom organs" for them. Even quirky organs would be possible. The more that you're getting me to think about it though the more I'm wondering if I should have it follow similar rules to making a gadget.

I've edited in a table stating what one can do per rank in regards to wounds. I've also added limitations (under that category) on the making of limbs and organs.

Okay, but how does the stem cell to body part ratio pan out? If recreating an can occur at B rank, does that mean that according to the chart it would take 5 posts of an upkept technique for a fully functional organ be grown? The lower end of the scale such as healing seems fine like most of our other healing quirks, but I'm having trouble seeing how this quirk can be far enough away from regeneration to still be allowed.

Yeah, the gadgeteering time would make this quirk bullshit now that I think about it...
I never really wanted the building organs part to be able to be used in combat, so how about this for timing:
Skin: 1 post
Muscle: 2 posts
Cartilage: 3 posts
Bone: 4 posts
Organs: 8 posts. ((this is including everything from eyes and tongues to the liver and heart))

And it's cumulative. For example if someone wanted to make an arm, they'd have to make the bone first (4 posts), then the muscle (+2), then the skin (+1) before attaching it onto the person. Because making something is more complex than just mending something, the user has to fully focus on the task. If disrupted, the cells stop and 1 post must be spent applying new cells and coaching them to grow like the previous ones before building is continued.

I could also add that the item being made must be at least partially cradled in the users hands, without being attached to anyone or anything. This would require surgical skill (ie super surgeon) to attach the made item to where it needs to go.

How about adjusting the creation table for scaling to be more like so:
TissuePostsRank unlocked

Skin
1D

Bone
2D

Cartilage
3C

Muscle
4C

Connective (tendons, ligaments)
6B

Organs or Nerves
8A


For the control rank chart, move mending the nervous system to B rank and remove the part about copying DNA. Healing damaged organs can stay at B rank and creation from scratch can be A rank.

Unfortunately, this is still too close to super regeneration despite the numerous reworks. The entire concept is sus, and I'm not sure to think of a way for it to remain similar but not super regen.
