Lugubrious has a rule that states that no two active Player Characters should have the same semblance. We had a guy at the beginning of the new chapter rage quit when Lug pointed out that his semblance was almost identical to Blake Belladonna's and asked him to change it.

To be fair, even if there was an overlap visa vis water Semblances, being of the same type doesn't mean they're the same Semblance. Luke, Ben, and Lauren all have Semblances that enhance their bodies. They're also very different abilities. Something generic as "water manipulation" (which, as indicated, isn't an overlap here anyway) is kind of heavy handed to rule out when it's a basic powerset just because someone else has it.

That'd be like ruling out a character's weapon because it happened to be a sword, and someone else already had a sword. Versus ruling out someone having shotgun tonfa that combine into a sword because someone already has those. One's a ruling regarding an exact copy of a specific idea, and one's a ruling on duplicates of something basic.
