BNHA AU
[really old draft just wanted to get it out so i can find and archive it]
NOLAN
Quirk: Battering Ram Quirk Type: Mutant/Transformation Quirk Range: Close Range
He has the power of a battering ram and a bighorn sheep all on his side xD He inherited Matthias’ super strength quirk but it mutated and gave him physical abnormalities I guess. Either that or he can transform into a satyr, with sheep horns, powerful legs and cloven hooves that allow him to climb remarkably steep surfaces. I never really figured it out whether it’s something to
he probably flips out the horns all the time lol, ready to ram his head
Nolan's quirk is basically Rock Head lol..but with Superpower and Rock Climb in pokemon terms. He gains keen hearing, his pupils turn into horizontal slits which grants him excellent peripheral vision (can see behind him without turning his head). However he loses some depth perception.
The drawback is that he gets a bad headache/migraine from ramming his head, no matter how hard, into things continuously lol. He risks concussion or falling to his death .
DAY
Quirk: Gravikinesis (gravity + telekinesis) Sunshine Quirk Type: Emitter Quirk Range: Medium/Long Range
Day's quirk is that he can convert sugar into light and manipulate the rays. Like how plants use sunlight to create sugar, Day is able to do the reverse, where he converts sugar to light (similar to triboluminescence when you crush sugar cubes and it creates light) He's not a fighter, however and is best suited as a supporter and his use of his quirk tends to be defensive and supportive.
Passively, he just glows, really. When he was a kid, he discovered his quirk by mimicking his night light (so for a time his family called this quirk Night Light.) Due to his own limited sight, he's well aware of how important visibility is. His first tactic is to interfere with opponents' vision by attempting to temporarily blind them, either through a bright flash of light (flash blindness) or using light to . It doesn't last long, but it buys precious seconds or even minutes. Useless against opponents with sunglasses or anything that protects their eyes.
He tends to apply makeup around his scar. First, because he's vain. But more than that, it is to prevent his weakness from being telegraphed as his left field of non-vision is his biggest weak point.
Also able to use light to relieve pain and speeds up healing of skin and muscle tissue through red/blue light therapy (colours of the spectrum) except ultraviolet. It is felt as a warm heat. He can only do this in small doses or he risks damaging the affected areas.
He can bend light around himself, objects or people to render himself invisible. This however, takes a lot concentration and energy.
For offensive abilities, he is able to condense light and propel it with enough force that it becomes a laser capable of burning and destroying skin. He's not very good at this though and it takes a lot out of him and risks burning himself. He's also able to condense balls of light and throw them I guess. I thought it's really cute how his quirk complements his mum's hehe
If it's an anime there's probably a gag about him glowing whenever he's excited. He glows whenever he's like..excited/embarassed/upset...basically whenever he loses control of himself...a literal sunshine boy. His cavities now have a purpose, since he loves sugar.
why not play into his name and just make his quirk about sunlight xD Either he can control the weather or he can emit light. Idk. But fun to think about lol. Idk what past Rei was thinking because ... why would Day have gravity??? Make this boy glow.
Most likely he has light-related powers but frankly I don’t know enough science to make this work @_@; So I figure he’s able to generate light or absorb sunlight in order to do so. Or he can use sugar to generate light (since he’s always eating sweets, might as well give his cavities a purpose). He probably never thought of hurting people with it before but I assume he can blind people with that or even create a beam of light by altering its properties. If he can harness the power of the sun, he can probably burn things too. He’s a smart boy, he can figure it out. He’s a solar-powered boy so he’s strong in the day but weak at night. He’s already someone who’s naturally becomes tired at night and goes to bed early at 10pm like a freak WHO DOES THAT. Light in general powers him. He can manipulate types of light so indoor lights too. Well in the case where he’s in complete darkness, he can probably use his sugar reserves to create light and make his limbs glow like a flashlight but once he’s out of it, he’s gonna crash. He probably literally glows when he’s very stimulated/excited/flustered/embarrassed.
I like the idea that he inherited his quirk from his absent father and gives Aeriel a shock.
AERIEL
Quirk: Flower Touch Quirk Type: Emitter Quirk Range: Contact
I thought it would be nice if Aeriel and Day had a complementary quirk. So Aeriel could have a flower touch quirk where she can sprout flowers wherever she touches and Day provides sunlight for them! Very quaint and unassuming.
However, it can also be weaponised. Aeriel can probably grow a flower through your flesh if she really had to and that’s kind of terrifying. Imagine plant roots growing through your flesh as a sprout pushes its way through the skin and since she can specifically create FLOWERS, she brings them through the whole germination process really quickly. Her quirk is powered up by sunlight too; so stronger, bigger, more vibrant flowers. Dang she makes endless food too...free froot. Combined with Noella’s abilities to create egg-laying chickens they can start a farm.
I have an idea that in this AU, when Aeriel and kid!Day were attacked a villain, Day tried to distract the villain's attention by directing light into their eyes when they were about to attack Aeriel but because of that, the trajectory was changed to attack him instead and that's how he lost his eye
Meanwhile Aeriel has never used her Quirk on a person before but it's hinted that she did use it on their attacker after Day was severely hurt. I imagine in a fit of desperation, anguish and rage she grabbed the villain's arm and just forced flowers to grow into their flesh, so deep that they reached internal organs...and so the whole situation was just extremely traumatising to her and she doesn't want her family to be involved in any villain/hero situation. Aeriel's flowers don't dissipate so...i guess you can imagine it's pretty gruesome. They do wither and rot but that's once they cannot sustain off the material they happen to be on. I think she's really horrified at herself because the villain came out of the skirmish worse than both her and Day. The villain might not even have a Quirk so...idk if she got in legal trouble...
Day probably definitely wants to be a hero but Aeriel is not supportive of it I think it gets to the point that Day would try and sneak behind his precious mom's back to take a few exams to give it a go and he feels super guilty about it but he knows he'll never be happy if he doesn't give it a shot He doesn't want to worry her but he doesn't want to give up on his dreams or whatever When Aeriel eventually finds out, she's so stricken and worried that Day rejects his offer because he didn't want to hurt her. He was willing to put aside his wants for hers, and that's when Aeriel realised she'd gotten it all wrong. She wasn't mad at him but at herself because she realised that she made it so that Day felt like he had to shield her and that he couldn't come to her and tell her about his desires...and she resolves to be a better parent and to support him even though she's afraid for him. She's more afraid that he didn't feel like he could trust her and in that way, she failed as a parent
I think the flower theme is cool. What with her ACNH room being so flowery with her hobby of pressing flowers/gardening/flower arrangement. I even changed her warrior name to Wrenflower to emphasize on her nurturing nature.
He can change the pull of gravity by either removing or amplifying it.
Gravity (float and pull)
Day has to visualise an object to pull it to him (he pictures a string attached to an object and pulls it towards himself). he can also put on heavy gravity on objects to make them stupid heavy and impossible to move
day can create minature black holes by causing gravity to collapse so that the force of gravity sucks things in. His brain might explode doing it lol
aeriel does it more effortlessly
i was thinking it might be a mix of his parents like what if his dad could cause increase the pull of gravity haha but iDK. another part i thought is that he has a composite quirk that he was developing but due to his eye getting slashed, he can't activate it anymore (or doesnt know how to cuz it stopped manifesting after his injury)
I imagine the drawback to Day's quirk if he overuses it is that he ends up temporarily losing his center of gravity and becomes lightheaded, nauseous and loses his equilibrium.
i imagine if he really strains himself and uses it to fend off villians or fights he'll end up tipping over and unable to get up. like the world is just SPINNING
molecular alteration
a throwback to what he was. And he has the ability to float and reshape molecules, meaning he can transform things. I thought it would be befitting if he had a powerful quirk out of all people xD
he seems like the kind who can move things around either by making them float or teleport and then you realise his actual quirk is something huge like opening a dimensional hole lol
and he's like "haha i dont like to use it because it's dangerous.... ^^;;"
WENDIE
Quirk: Ice shit idk Quirk Type: Emitter Quirk Range: Long Range/Contact
She is ice.
I’m confused...if her power is ice, would that mean Heather’s power is also ice? Unless Heather happens to be Quirkless and the powers skipped a gen? Unless we go with the typical Wendie route and she happens to be the only one who didn’t inherit a Quirk and she’s resentful and feels out of place and as a teen she just leaves and somehow gets a quirk like when that Okuyasu’s dude shot Koichi with the Stand arrow I mean why not. Even in the flightrising AU, she got herself transformed into a Nocturne when her family were all Guardians and Imperials. It would be befitting but I feel bad she always got the short end of the genetic stick hmm.. I kinda like it more if it’s a cohesive family thing but I can’t see Heather having ICE powers of all things :/ But I guess the narrative still works out if Wendie got it somewhere else. She could probably irrationally just blame her mum for being Quirkless hence she has no Quirk (even though that doesn’t make sense but what is a teenager to do).
REED
Quirk: Mirror Steal Quirk Type: Emitter Quirk Range: Long Range
Y’know how they say your eyes are the mirrors to your soul? And then also this thing where some people believe mirrors can steal your soul (like if you have it in front of your bed and you go to sleep). His ability is that when you look into his eyes, he can temporarily steal away your Quirk and use it for himself. Only lasts for a limited time. Rendered useless if you don't make eye contact with him or if you have a mutant quirk. But I thought this is great cuz he loves to flash eyes at everyone. He is very charismatic and shamelessly uses it to his advantage
Another quirk that would be befitting of Reed is brainwashing. But he is someone (immoral) who should not have a power like that so i thought it's funnier he goes around stealing people’s quirks and using it against them lol
ZION
Quirk: Blood Ink Quirk Type: Emitter Quirk Range: Varied
Ok so the information below is still pretty accurate in terms of powers since Zion was always conceptualised with blood ink calligraphy powers. But can we make him suffer less???? POOR BOY!!! I’ll canonise it all if we don’t make him so frail he literally almost dies whenever he uses his powers. Michiya is a strong lad. LET!! HIM!!! LIVE!!!!! He’s a tight-assed, proud, independent, rigid and unknowingly dorky kid. He’s the one everyone doesn’t know how to approach or like too much because he seems so stilted and lowkey peevish but he’s diligent and serious and earnest and he gets mad easily but I love him. I love this lonely man. Let’s make him NOT lonely!! (Throws an acorn, a dog, rat, bonsai, windchime at him)
---
Zion is born frail and anemic and because of his blood/ink powers it's potentially fatal since the manifestation of His powers requires the use of blood. He exercises and trains constantly and eats so healthily to raise up endurance and hemoglobin count. But because of his anemia, he cannot push himself to exercise too hard or it'll accelerate the destruction of his RBC (I had no idea about this dahskdha) And he can get fainting spells or just feel generally super fatigued and dizzy if he uses too much of his blood.
Basically he uses his blood and ink (I think the ink is a medium) to create things to life/bring things to reality by writing seals (characters/kanji - because he's not creative enough to draw), so like he can write "lock" on a latchless door and it'll be locked. Or he can write "tree" and it forms a tree out of ink. The drawback is obviously his blood count, and he already has way less of it. Pushing himself can basically mean death.
The things he creates are also temporary. Not quite sure how he currently USES his blood but it involves him having to bleed. I think he might end up keeping some vials if he needs it in a dire situation. The only issue is that the blood must be fresh cuz once it turns brown it loses its potency and eventual power
He has a lot of power. But he doesn't have the will or creativity to use it to its maximum potential. He tends to nosebleed when uses it too much.
His Quirk causes ink to accumulate toxins in his blood he doesn’t use it which might lead to potential blood poisoning. So he has to use his powers to rid of the build up. Zion is the kind of person who won't really use his quirk/powers unless he has an incentive like that lol. it's like wanking....why would he do that unless it's to relieve a bodily function? Then it has a purpose. Gosh he’s so reluctant to participate in society.
