Name
Basa Basa no Mi
(Onomatopoeia for cloth sliding)

Class
Paramecia

Description
Turns the user into a 'Roleplaying Human', that allows them to take on the 'role' of whatever garment they're wearing.

Powers

Able to take on the 'role' of whatever clothing they're wearing, including the skills required for the job. E.G. Someone without any knowledge about healthcare dressed as a doctor could give decent treatment, moving on muscle reflex as opposed to having actual knowledge.
Able to imitate abilities of other people by dressing as them, skilled users being able to actually generate seemingly supernatural powers by creating 'mundane' items with the change of clothes and bolstering their strength to befit the 'power' of the one they try to imitate. E.G. Imitating 'Ferris Kaufman' would have some kind of mechanic that works with candles to create hot wax. Unfortunately, spiritual aspects such as Haki cannot be imitated and physical strength cannot be normally imitated either - although it CAN be augmented in some ways by the clothing.
Able to transform clothes/weapons they're wearing/holding into the one appropriate for the role they plan to play as.
The user is also exposed to a constant high level of empathy with those around them, as they are constantly taking on roles and thus have a primal understanding of other peoples emotions.

Weaknesses

The user needs to at least somewhat understand the purpose of the role, and misunderstandings can lead to the role not working as expected. E.G. Believing a Doctor also works as a Dentist may end up with the user treating organs like a Dentist would teeth.
Even with suitable understanding of the purpose of the role, the user doesn't have knowledge that a person of the role has - instead working on muscle reflex, their body seemingly moving on it's own when following the position, as such questions/advice cannot be reliably replied to/given.
Personality faults may carry over, as the role is not just a physical one, as such knowing the person at an emotional level can make it harder to use the role - as they'll understand the personality faults and may end up using them subconsciously.
Removal of clothing prevents the user from changing clothes, and also removes current 'ability'.
Standard devil fruit weaknesses.
