Yaksha's Progression Thread

Eruption
Rank: C

Effect

Ever since she was little, Jasmine's body has been capable of producing and manipulating a highly explosive chemical compound that she can secrete through any part of her body given a mental command. This compound, often compared to C2N14 (1-, diazidocarbamoyl-5-azidotetrazole) yet in Jasmine's case referred to as C2N14x due to it being produced naturally and not artificially, is extremely reactive, said to go off if you "so much as look at it funny". When released from her body, C2N14x generates an enormous amount of energy by reacting to virtually anything it comes across, thus producing explosions of varying scopes and temperatures. This essentially gives Jasmine the ability of Fragokinesis, the constant training of which also gives her strength far beyond the norm. The production of C2N14x also has a peculiar effect on Jasmine's irises, making her eyes glisten a dim crimson in color, brighter the more explosive her next move.

Another peculiar effect of this quirk is that Jasmine's natural body heat is always above that of a normal human, meaning that she can withstand colder temperatures relatively easily. This isn't potent enough to assist her in combat, however.

Benefits

1. Strength/Damage - Jasmine, when she is at her strongest, is able to tear through hard metals with her quirk and lift objects quite a few times her own weight with relative ease.
   
   
2. Range - Jasmine is able to fire off blasts that can cover the entire distance of a full basketball court (28 meters) and by angling her hands properly she can even retain pin-point accuracy as opposed to indiscriminate blasts.
   
   
3. Speed - By utilizing her explosions Jasmine is able to move at the speed of a wild leopard at maximum (90km/h)

Exhaustion and Weakness

Because Eruption is essentially Fragokinesis, it naturally has implied recoil. Said recoil varies in terms of how strong Jasmine's explosions are but, generally, trauma is a possible outcome if the quirk is overused or if Jasmine tries to go beyond her established limit without having the physical preparation to withstand it. In addition, this quirk, as any other physical activity, will cause fatigue and exhaustion the more it is used.

That being said, C2N14x isn't produced out of thin air. Natural supplements are required to be able to produce the chemical compound, as such Jasmine needs to stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet of carbs, proteins, and fats while also eating slightly more than your average person. Neglecting these factors would significantly reduce Jasmine's fighting capabilities.

Eruption
Rank: B

Effect

Jasmine's body is capable of producing and manipulating a highly explosive chemical compound that she can secrete through any part of her body given a mental command. This compound, often compared to C2N14 (1-, diazidocarbamoyl-5-azidotetrazole) yet in Jasmine's case referred to as C2N14x due to it being produced by her body naturally and not artificially in a laboratory, is extremely reactive, said to go off if you "so much as look at it funny". When released from her body, C2N14x generates an enormous amount of energy by reacting to virtually anything it comes across, thus producing explosions of varying scopes and temperatures, which essentially gives Jasmine the ability of Fragokinesis.

What is also worth noting is that due to the recoil that Jasmine has to endure each time she uses her quirk, she has been forced to train her body to be able to even withstand the kickback, let alone handle it. This, as a result, has given her enhanced strength far beyond the norm of regular people as not only have her muscles been strengthened, but her bones have adapted a more durable structure, of sorts, becoming quite sturdier and stronger than a regular person's.

Another peculiar effect of this quirk is that Jasmine's natural body heat is always above that of a normal human, meaning that she can withstand colder temperatures relatively easily. This isn't potent enough to assist her in combat, however.

This very same effect displays itself outwardly as well. Whenever Jasmine uses her quirk, the color of her eyes changes from a dim emerald to a bright crimson, almost as though they're displaying the burning energy within her. In conjunction to this, her hair starts to emanate a bright golden hue in the form of flames, making it seem like her hair has caught fire. When she uses her quirk, Jasmine herself begins radiating heat the more powerful the abilities she utilizes, becoming almost like a walking bonfire.

Benefits

1. Strength/Damage - Jasmine, when she is at her strongest, is able to tear through thick walls with her quirk and lift objects quite a few times her own weight.
   
   
2. Range - Jasmine is able to fire off blasts that can cover the entire distance of half a football field (50 meters) and by angling her hands properly she can even retain pin-point accuracy as opposed to indiscriminate blasts.
   
   
3. Speed - By utilizing her explosions Jasmine is able to move at the speed of a compact car at maximum (120km/h)

Fifth Law
Rank: E
Effect: As her quirk has grown more powerful, Jasmine has noticed a peculiar evolution of her abilities. Through the use of her quirk, her body can now generate enough energy and, subsequently, heat to produce and expunge actual flames, both standalone and/or in tandem with her explosions. This fire is searing hot and can cause anywhere from light to moderate burn damage, severe if left unchecked and allowed to spread. This, of course, can also cause Jasmine to overheat if she does not use her fire sparingly, which is why she has learned to 'turn it on and off,' as in she is still able to use her explosions without the addition of fire should she require it.

Unbreakable
Rank: D - Durability
Effect: Due to her rigorous training regimes, her hectic lifestyle and her violent roots, Jasmine has a naturally developed sturdy frame that can withstand more pain and damage than most others. Her frame has been further developed through her body developing naturally and through the various exercise regimes she has underwent, strengthening her muscles, bones, and overall frame to the point that her body has become as sturdy as a soft metal such as bronze.

Unbreakable
Rank: C - Durability
Effect: Due to her rigorous training regimes, her hectic lifestyle, her violent roots, and, above all else, her quirk, Jasmine has developed a body naturally more resistant than most others. Her muscles, bones, joints, and overall frame has been strengthened to the point of being as sturdy as hard metal, making her incredibly durable and able to withstand a sizeable amount of damage with relative ease.

Nuts & Bolts
Rank: F - Engineering
Effect: Ever since she was little Jasmine has had a knack for tinkering. As a child she's had plenty of time to work on things with very few resources, basically learning how to make something out of nothing. This was further ingrained into her by Nathan North, a Pro Hero who was also her legal guardian after her parents passed. Together with survival skills he taught her how to disassemble and reassemble simple firearms and various other gadgets. After coming to U.A. Jasmine was allowed access to the support studies' garage and tech where she was able to further hone her craft.

This was further ingrained into her by Nathan North, a Pro Hero who was also her legal guardian after her parents passed. Together with survival skills he taught her how to disassemble and reassemble simple firearms, a variety of vehicles and other types of different gadgets. After coming to U.A. Jasmine was given access to the support studies' tech where she was able to further hone her craft and she was given a wealth of knowledge to choose from, be it physics, biology or chemistry.

White Ink
Rank: D - Visual Arts
Effect: Despite having lost her way, Jasmine, through the support of many of her friends, was coaxed back into illustration of the mind through color. While a little rusty, she still hasn't lost neither her skills nor her flair. She is able to utilize a wide array of means to draw, be it watercolor, graffiti, stencil, paintings, black and white, etc.

Bars
Rank: D - Singing/Lyricism
Effect: When Jasmine was just a kid she, together with her friends, spent a great deal of time 'battling' each other over beats. This has cultivated not only her knack for rhyming but also her voice. As the years passed she has cultivated both her mind and her ability to actually sing to the point that it was no longer something anybody could really scoff at and ignore. She is able to write or even freestyle a variety of different rhymes using a wide range of unique flows which are only further complimented by her voice.

Rhythm
Rank: E - Music Production
Effect: When Jasmine was still living in New York, she and her friend Michael had gotten into the habit of 'sampling' the unique sounds of Manhattan, taking whatever they had managed to record into a studio where they would dissect many different sounds and noises before reassembling them into a musical track. Jasmine has further improved on this little hobby of hers, now able to produce actual unique tracks with her own darker and more explosive flair added as the cherry on top.
