Would A-Copper suppress Breath auras?

[Duxredux he/him]

No idea if it's already been asked and I can only think of one known case where this possible, but do we think it would be possible to suppress the aura granted from holding breaths by burning Copper? I think Copper has been described as somehow changing something internally that makes it so you no longer give out Allomantic pulses, and I wondered if that would reduce the aura that you personally show without necessarily removing the benefits of the Heightening you've obtained. If this is possible, is there a limit to how much burning Copper can mask a Breath aura? I wouldn't be surprised if you could mask the first few Heightenings, but I'd be really surprised if it worked on the 10th.

I'm looking at Hoid who we know had the 2nd Heightening and is a Mistborn, but I'm not sure if we've seen color distortion around him. I know the Returned can suppress their divine Breath, but I'm not sure if we've seen this done with standard Breaths. In fact a case against being able to do it with standard Breaths, we've seen Vasher routinely storing his excess Breaths in his clothing to remove his aura.

Thoughts?

Maybe, probably, it's tenuous, he'd have to think about it:

If a coppercloud was near an Awakener, would they dampen the effect of the colors being deepened around them?

I haven't thought about that. Yes. That one is a tenuous yes, though, I would have to think about it.

Thanks! Strictly speaking, that's a Coppercloud being used nearby an Awakener, which is a separate thing from an Awakener burning Copper. Probably makes it more likely that an Awakener burning Copper to suppress their aura would work.
