Quirk: Re-write

Type: ??? (seriously, I don't know how to classify these)

Description: User can see a person's SCROLL, which is the culmination of their being (or story). This scroll will have their past, personality, quirk, family relations, ideals, thoughts, and certain future events written in it (but for the most part the scroll will be blank when reading their "future", because their story hasn't progressed that far yet). The scrolls come in different colors, representing their 'auras' (the more black poison covering the scroll and covering the color, the worse the person is). Certain things about a person will affect their visably affect their scroll - passionate negative feelings will set the scroll on fire, 'cold' negative feelings will freeze the scroll, bad thoughts about oneself will have worms/maggots feeding on their scroll, etc. If it gets bad enough, those things will start to shorten their scroll - a SCROLLs length represents the lifespan. The longer the scroll, the longer the lifespan and vice versa. When a person finally dies, their scroll dissintegrates and their ashes return to "the world".

The user is the only one that can interact with the scrolls at all - though when they use enough energy, or are touching another person while using their quirk, they can let others see the SCROLLs.

Strengths: good for counciling, recon, interrogation, manipulation, etc.

Weaknesses: The user's eyes give away when they use their quirk by glowing. It is not a very physical quirk, and does not help in physical combat very much - if at all. Good for info gathering and manipulation, but not much help outside of that.

Drawbacks: Others don't like it very much when another person can see right through their every move and pry into their entire life. They also don't like the idea that another person could possibly write something into being for them without their permission (not sure whether it would be wise to add that the user can manipulate other's scrolls in that way, but maybe they can). Best not to confide in anybody about quirk or the user might either be used or shunned.

Overuse Symptoms and Side Effects: The only side effects are nausia and exhaustion because life energy is the only thing used to power the quirk. However, it is not to be taken lightly - enough life energy taken at a time to power the quirk without a rest period to recharge could be fatal. It is LIFE ENERGY you're dealing with, after all.
