Quirk Name: Prism

Type: Mutant

Range: Medium Range

User: Aki Imaishi

Hero Alias: Refractor

Description: Prism is a quirk that grants Aki a body made of crystalline, glass-like material that replaces his regular skin, giving his body a jagged, geometrical appearance. This crystal is highly reflective and normally pitch black in color, completely isolating his body from all forms of colored light. However, Aki is able to alter the crystal's molecular properties in a way that changes it to any color he wants, even being able to make himself completely transparent.

As suggested by the name, Aki's body acts similarly to a prismatic structure and, when in his colorless state, interacts with light like one would. Whenever light hits his body, the change in transmission medium causes the light to fragment throughout his body and exit it after being reflected and altered several times, often resulting in any nearby surfaces around him to be color in a rainbow-like light. He is able to use to his advantage by using carefully placed light sources to blind anyone nearby using his ingenuity and quick thinking.

A notable weakness of this property is that it requires light to function, which isn't present in dark spaces. However, along with the ability to alter the appearance of his body, Aki is also able to manipulate some cells with fluorophoric attributes in his body to utilize their capability to emit light and dramatically increase their production of photons through acceleration of his metabolism. The precise control over this ability can allow him to make parts of his body glow almost unnoticeably faint to blindingly bright, almost completely overcoming this weakness by making Aki his own light source. This as the added side-effect of making him stronger the brighter he glows.

Along with the ability to recolor his body's crystal, he may alter its physical shape in general by emitting more of the material from his body, being able to extend and retract it from anywhere. This allows him to weaponize his own body, allowing it to act as both a defense and an offense, by creating blades, spikes and bludgeons to attack with. It also allows him to control the direction in which absorbed light travels throughout his body. The only limitation to this is that he cannot alter his 'base' bodily structure past his knees and elbows, restricting Aki to a humanoid form.

Techniques:

Prismatic Hyper Gun: By mirroring light within his body between two reflective surfaces within his forearms and spontaneously releasing it through a hole in one of the surface, Aki is capable of firing damaging lasers at targets. These lasers, when charged, are capable of burning skin on contact.

Sunlight Burst: Aki produces light at maximum power and isolates said light in a temporary black 'light organ,' to be released all at once in a singular blast of blinding light, disabling anyone around him.

Weaknesses: There are gaps in between Aki's joints that allow him to move like a human with regular skin would. However, they're also extremely vulnerable. Precise attacks on his joints allow opponents to easily break his skin, with the damage likely disabling him.

Aki relies on outside light sources to use his light-based attacks, as producing it himself requires an immense amount of energy that, when used in great amounts, make it impossible for him to last long in combat situations.

Aki's skin is very brittle in general when it comes to attacking his weak points: his cleavage planes. Like most minerals, damaging these planes can make him shatter with little effort.
