Friction Friction Fruit

Friction Friction Fruit - Level: Molecular
Type: Paramecia

The fruit give the user the ability to cause the molecules of any object touched to vibrate violently producing various, controlable levels of heat.

Battle Context:
User can severely burn human skin where touched. The burn does not heavily spread but merely leave burn-prints of precisely where it was touched. Tissue damage becomes deeper, the longer the contact but does not spread laterally. Objects (usually metal) can be super headed and thrown/swung at opponent. Heat does readily spread on metal objects, unlike skin. User can also super heat molecules within the air itself. This ability may be used in combination with a breath dial to create a heat wave that loses heat the further it travels. An opponent would have to be very close to the dial to experience a burn from the air. Super heated air can also be used to vaporize a toxin that causes a bothersome rash upon excessive exposure or lung inflammation and eventually pneumonia upon excessive inhalation of the vapor.

Utilitarian Context:
The user can super heat metal objects including weapons which makes user a sort of walking blacksmith's forge. User can super heat water to make water vapor that can be used for steam-bending wood and other materials which make be useful for various projects of ship repairs. Ability (with breath dial) can be used to dry out various food stuffs or wet objects. It can also be used this way to extract sea-salt from sea water.

there is a fruit called atsu atsu no mi, it increases temperature of attacks and body, why not use that?

I just looked that up. So it turns out I never watched ANY of the One Piece filler so I didn't even know it was around. I'm not sure how it works... does it function like... well, a glorified microwave as well? I don't want it to increase body temperature, just based upon how it functions.

it is, and i dont know what the other admins take on this sort of ability will be, since atsu atsu is already there, then why not?

...Haha that's such a cop-out! I wish I would have known it was there... I never knew there was a downside to avoiding filler... haha. I do really want it to function with molecular vibrations ... is that okay?

i dont know.......

.

Well...as long as you can't change some bodys body STUCTURE..I'm sure the Admins won't mind this type of power..you can just control there tempature..if I read it correctly..

and thats actually a very creative Devil Fruit..

So I don't want the molecular shuffling ability. I just want the ability to cause molecular vibrations to create heat, not just raw thermal energy being spontaneously produced. If it has the same ability as Atsu Atsu, fine... but I just want the opportunity to put a mechanism behind the thermal energy.

This seems more like this is just going after the underlying mechanisms of an ability of a fruit that seems to already exist. Also, I don't want the ability to over-heat the user's body. This ability is an exothermic one and should not have random endothermic properties. If the ability is allowed to function as a touch which catalyzes molecular vibrations, the user's body should not be affected unless the user intentionally touches their own body and purposefully emits the energy needed to create the exothermic reaction.

I would also like to be able to "turn the power off" and have control over specific temperature modulation.

this is all so confusing to me, keep in mind, that i am a law student and therefore no idea what any of that meant......, does another mod/admin have anything to say about this fruit?

I'm primarily a Classics students but picked up concentrations in the empirical sciences because they're so much fun.

I don't know... no other mod has said a word.

I just meant I want there to be a reason that the heat happens... like molecular vibrations. I don't want it to be random heat energy with nothing happening molecularly to explain it.

Since heat is emitted when the user touches something, I don't want that heat to effect the user. I just want the touch the cause the energy that causes the molecules of whatever is touched to move around to produce the heat and not have the touch actually be hot or contain heat by itself. That's why I don't want the user's body to heat up ... I just want it to be an energy transfer that makes the heat and have it only occur on the object touched. The user would only be able to heat themselves by touching themselves. This is sounding ... awful so I'm going to shut up. :X

but doesnt that give you complete control of an opponents molecular structure to change it however you see fit? sounds overpowering to me if that is the case

Agni Schiwatas" or "Flame God's Breath" , allows her to speed up kinetic energy resulting in massive explosion and melting solid objects

Is this the ind of thing you are talking about?

Kinetic energy is involved... but not explosive... melting can be done with with prolonged, intense contact from high amounts of transferred energy. It can make things warm with a light touch and restrained energy or extremely hot to the point of melting with a prolonged touch and high energy transfer.

Haha Sorry I did NOT expect this to caught more trouble than a Mythical Zoan! :X

the thing is, when you use the words molecular manipulation, i start to get a bit skeptic, its like saying when you touch a person, you can overload his heart and melt him. Or you can turn the person into a sack of crap by touching him. isnt that what you are getting at?

No... just a burn and ONLY here the person is touched and the longer they are touched, the worse the burn... it doesn't "spread" on skin, the heat only spreads in metals because they are so conductive. Touching a person to burn them would be a horribly inefficient as a battle tactic because they would literally have to open up enough for the user to touch them for a prolonged period of time which is pretty unrealistic unless the user can physically overpower their opponent to hold them still... but if that were the case, what's the point of using the power at all? I intended for the power to be primarily used to heat metal weaponry or in combination with breath dials and not as a direct skin contact thing. That would be laaaaame.

Also I want to use heated air with a breath dial to vaporize the itchy poison I have listed with the weapon I posted ... to make either an annoying itchy rash upon exposure or cause lung inflammation or pneumonia if inhaled heavily by someone. I don't want this to be a fatal weapon... just an annoyance. Does that have to be posted as a weapon?

This isn't all that hard to understand, the user burns their foe with friction but only where they touch them. This fruit is Approved.

no it doesnt have to be, ok then, i am going to approve this unless any more admins have a something wrong with it, so

APPROVED

Not undoing the approval, just askink a question. Could the user decrease friction as well as increase it? For instance, the user reduces the friction on the floor beneath their feet making them slide.

No... My characters tend to wear...shoes which would block contact on the floor. I originally wanted to use a friction reduction as well but that seems a lot like Alvida's Sube Sube no Mi, only it would apply to whatever was being touched and not the user them self. Either way it seems unfair to be able to generate heat AND slipperiness ... even though the slippery bit isn't THAT useful ... unless it happens to come in handy in ... bizarre situations.

It would be cool to control both ways but it seems very ... unfair. I would rather just have the ability to control the temperature produced by increased friction. Thank you both for your help and for being so patient with my geeky physics nonsense!

Fair enough.
