I hate sand. (Custom Quirk)

Ability: The user of this quirk gains the ability to manipulate sand, dirt, and other forms of earth that are finely particulate in nature. This manipulation can be fairly precise, allowing the user to create objects and body parts from the sand as well as just controlling waves of the material. They may also convert earth, rock, and concrete in the area based on their control rank into sand. The sand that the user controls has an effective power rank equal to the user's control rank.

Limitations: The ability to convert earth/rocks/concrete into usable sand only converts 1 cubic meter of material at a time, without the use of techniques. This means that most of the user's techniques that involve using a larger amount of sand require either multiple posts of set-up or the use of a 'set-up' technique. The amount of sand required for each technique must be stated in the technique upon creation, in terms of cubic meters, and all techniques will require the use of at least one cubic meter of sand per rank above E, regardless of how the technique is actually described to function. Going over the limit causes the user to suffer a -3 to both accuracy and power for 3 posts, after which the user continues to suffer a -1 to both of these stats until the end of combat. This -1 stacks in the case of going over the limit multiple times, if applicable.

This seems very similar to a few other quirks already on site.

earthbound


Spirit of the Sands

I suppose it is. I feel like it's different enough from any individual one of those to be worth being a separate thing. Still, if you say it's too similar, I'll respect that.

My key points would be, in order:
Different from Earthbound as it only affects sand and dirt, and while it does allow transformation of specific materials into sand, the end result is still sand rather than solid stone or clay. Still, I can see where this would be very close, so perhaps I could limit further to just controlling sand, removing "dirt and other finely particulate earth" from the list?

Different from spirit of the sand, but only slightly. I'd say this is probably the closest, but "desert punk" would allow for more precise control at base as well as transforming other materials into sand, thus differentiating it slightly.

And finally I think this quirk is different than suna ningen. One turns the user into sand, the other just lets them create and control sand. It's like the difference between elemental body wind and a quirk that allows one to control wind, in my eyes. They share a common element, but do things a bit differently.

Is there any way I could change the quirk as it stands to make it stand further apart from the others, so that it's more acceptable as it's own thing?

Edit: I hope that didn't come off as too stand-offish, and I'm sorry if it did. I'm just trying to discuss ways to improve it, rather than giving up on it!

Thing is that its only 1 ep away from any of those quirks so i would still tier this high.

High tier would be okay, but I see what you mean. I could just leave it alone.
