So I have decided to give the Index story another go with the terrakinesis idea.
And to the individual who wanted me to turn this into a love story for some reason last time, this is for you 🖕

Abilities
• Esper ability
(YN)'s ability he calls "Earth Shifter", which allows him to create, shape, and control the earth and all earthen elements, including minerals, crystals, and geological materials in any form, whether solid, fragmented, or loose, such as rock, sand, dust, mud, and soil.
This power extends to all mineral compositions, allowing (YN) to manipulate natural formations like mountains, caves, and canyons, as well as refine raw earth into different states, from compact stone to flowing lava. He can move or reshape terrain at will, causing the ground to rise, crack, split, or shift as if it were alive, molding landscapes with the same ease as sculpting clay.
His control over the earth allows him to command its raw energy, influencing tectonic activity, creating seismic disturbances, and even manipulating the planet’s geological processes.
(YN)’s mastery over this element grants him immense versatility. He can summon towering stone formations, carve intricate structures, and mold earth-based constructs with absolute precision. Whether crafting weapons from raw minerals, creating floating platforms of rock, or forging bridges from stone, he possesses complete architectural control over the landscape. His influence extends to the finer elements of earth, allowing him to manipulate dust particles for concealment.
In battle, he can launch boulders with devastating force, generate waves of sharpened rock to impale foes, or bring forth colossal stone golems to fight by their side. He can armor himself in layers of solid earth, form impenetrable barriers, or even become one with the terrain itself, sinking into rock and emerging elsewhere in an instant.
• Lavakinesis
(YN)'s most destructive form of his Earth Shiftet he calls "Crimson Tempest", the manipulation of lava and magma. This molten material is a volatile mixture of semi-molten rock, suspended crystals, dissolved gases, and gas bubbles. With this, (YN) can summon magma from beneath the earth, shaping it into streams, weapons, or barriers.
The extreme heat allows the magma to melt or vaporize most materials on contact, turning steel into liquid in seconds and causing catastrophic destruction. (YN) can also manipulate the temperature, increasing the heat to make the magma flow more quickly and deal more damage, or lowering it to create thicker, slower-moving lava with greater impact force. Additionally, (YN) can regulate the temperature to control the magma's viscosity, allowing for precise shaping and control over how quickly it cools and solidifies.
(YN) can also solidify magma into various forms of rock, such as obsidian or basalt, creating defensive or offensive structures. This power often come with an inherent resistance to extreme heat, allowing him to withstand and control temperatures that would incinerate most beings.
Crimson Tempest provides (YN) with an array of both offensive and defensive possibilities during battle. Only a small amount of earth is necessary to create a useful amount of lava to bend; this is beneficial in environments with very little earth to manipulate. In addition, the use of lavabending to turn a portion of the earth into lava allows (YN) to isolate himself from his opponents and avoid battles at close range. The attacks at (YN)'s disposal range from small scale, like a lava weapon, to larger attacks, such as conjuring blasts of lava or entire streams or waves, straight out of the earth.
Backstory
(YN) grew up in an orphanage with other children, getting picked by scientists who "helped" them by providing food and medicine. This was a lie as they were actually being used as test subjects for weapons for the scientists' own gain. During (YN)'s testing, he caused a massive tremor in the facilities, causing lava to burst from the floor and destroying the testing labs with it. He used that as a means to escape and free the other kids there. Together, they destroyed the complex and went their separate ways. Living on the streets with nowhere to go, (YN) made the most of it by sleeping in alleys and stealing food from the local markets. After a while, a family, having found the young boy, decided to take him into their home as their own and giving him a chance at life.
