Symbolism; Quirk Attempt!

Symbolism
Ability: The user is born with the ability to create platforms of a design specific to them known as Glyphs (chosen upon creation as well as color)! This is done by said design appearing in the user's hand and feet before imprinting it on the air or on any surface. These platforms are solid in nature and most notably known to help the user in the fluidity of their movements, nothing more. They can create and manipulate the location of multiple platforms as their mastery over Symbolism increases. The platforms can block attacks, attract or repel the user, ally or specified target (the user can decide upon usage of the Quirk who to affect). And the amount the user can create is dependent on their control Rank! Also the range of these platforms as well as the material rank of these Platforms, are dependent on the user's Control Rank.
Platform Quantity
Control RankMaximum Amount
D Rank3
C Rank4
B Rank6
A Rank7
S Rank10

Limitations: These platforms are solid in nature, but do not pose any offensive capacity for combat. They cannot fatally harm another person directly, cannot shoot fire, make animals, etc. Simply aid in movement for the most part. Once these platforms are placed, they cannot be moved unless dismissed or by user's command at a higher control rank. The user of Symbolism can begin dismissing the Platforms beginning at C Rank, no earlier than that. Upon breaking their limit, the user suffers a -3 De-Buff to Stamina and -2 to Accuracy due to the strain on one's body.

This feels way too magic based. Fun idea, but can you rework it into something a bit more biological?

I'm reading through this and I have the question here. Is there no real limit on what the quirk can do? Your description past the actual creation of these Glyphs is that they are "able to be utilized in a variety of ways. Including being used in Midair! Most notably known for helping a user manipulate the fluidity of their movements."

Which is cool. But based off that description they could create fireballs, talking sheep, cures for cancer made out of popcorn. I'd like to see a few more limitations on what the exact limits of this quirk are.

Okay, just so I know I fully understand this as it reads now. This is intended to be a movement quirk. With the glyphs, once placed, serving as platforms for anyone as well as offering "repelling and attracting" properties for the user. (through the use of stat buffs I assume?)

If so, that solves my prior concerns about the vague nature of the quirk. Do these buffs for attracting or repelling only affect the user or do they affect anyone touching the glyph? Also please note somewhere that the range for these effects is decided by the user's control rank.

Okay, so the way the Glyphs would work when it comes to the actual attraction and repel, it'd be semi-difficult to give a flat yes or no. Because Techs would essentially be flexible; yes this is majority part a movement quirk. You could say that anything affecting a specific opponent would be considered an Offensive Technique as a means to get them away or even bind them once C Rank comes around.

Anything affecting an ally or one's self would act as a Buff, so yes that part is correct. The platforms can do Debuffs to the opponent/target, it just needs to be placed right there either under, in front or behind them. The Glyphs can affect anyone within the user's range (be it Solo Target or an AoE Effect). I've also edited in the range for these effects.

How are these platforms able to be imprinted on the air?

I kinda explained it briefly on PMs, but I should state it here as well.

Essentially the Platforms stem from both the hands and feet (Whatever footwear they may be wearing at the time as well). Essentially allowing the platform to be created and enlarged from the user's foot/feet in the air; a pseudo-imprint if you want to call it that.

So it's not actually being used in the air, rather it starts from the user's person while in the air. Though I should have made that clearer in the Quirk itself. Should I edit that detail into the Quirk, or would it be fine as is stating it here?

How are these platforms imprinted onto the air? I can accept the idea of them being put on hard surfaces and affecting the user's movement and seeming explainable, but imprinting them onto the air is too magicky for me.

If anything can I just make an EP for that aspect if I really wanna do it?

The thing is that I already stated it, the Quirk starts from the Feet (or hands) and enlarged from there. Essentially allowing the user to not imprint it, but use it as an Air Stepping tool; but in any case I can just make an EP for that if that's the case.
