The user controls can control alpha-keratins, primarily the ones that his hair and nails are made of because it's on the surface, but also those inside his cells, and even turn it into beta-keratins, proteins that are significantly stronger and normally only found in birds and reptiles.
The growths the user can create tend to have a gray or brown color, however some combinations of keratins give different shades.
Lvl 1:
Small Handshield:
The user creates disks of keratin, with a diameter of roughly 20 cm for an average person, parallel to the palms, which can be used to block many different strikes.
Lvl 2:
Spike:
Either from the back of the user's hand, or from his fingertips, keratin spikes sprout, which can be used to hit with. If the user is already using the Small Handshield, he can create such spikes along the edge and hit with that, but such a combination is more difficult to defend with than a pure shield and less powerful an attack than pure Spikes.
Lvl 3:
Blade:
The user's entire body grows small, razor-sharp ridges, which can cut them loose and make it very, very unsafe to hit them.
Lvl 4:
Chained Hook:
The user creates a long, flexible rope of keratin, very strong, like hair but even stronger and much, much thicker, with a rigid hook on the end. This can be used to either swing somewhere or, although it's difficult to use against an opponent that can dodge, pull someone closer to settle matters close and personal.
lvl 5:
Rigid Body:
The keratins in your very cells obey your command on reflex, which makes you able to make parts of your body near-indestructible. This does interfere with the activity in these muscles, which means that vital organs are preferably not made rigid, and muscles cease to work while rigid.
Lvl 6:
Sleek Skin:
A variation on Rigid Body can be used to make the very top layer of your skin hard, and smooth, which deflects minor attacks (minor here being pebbles thrown at you), and make you able to slide out of the clutches of an enemy.
Lvl 7:
Bony Blades:
The huge blades that grow around your arms or legs (erasing any Shield or Spikes currently on it, much more powerful offensively than the latter and a little better than the first defensively), are capable of shredding trough concrete.
Lvl 8:
Megaspike:
You don't need to move a single muscle. Thin, sharp pins grow for your body, extending longer and longer very rapidly. This attack is capable of attacking multiple people at once.
Lvl 9:
Shell:
Your entire body is covered in tough, resilient plates of keratin, which can deflect steel, bullets, and powerful superhuman attacks with ease.
Lvl 10:
Megashell:
A thick layer of keratin forms around your body. It can either retain your humanoid form and be simply a very, very good protection, or become a massive sphere. When it is this tick, it is capable of protecting you from anything up to being swept up by a hurricane, thrown trough a house by it, lifted up to the clouds and dropped down. Tough stuff, but it does render you unable to see.
This power is made so that it will always tie with Dust to Dust.
