I just binge read your stuff and I like the way your mind works. Any personal headcanons or theories for KHR over there?
My personal theory for KHR is what I like to call “Chicken or Egg” scenario.
Basically, it’s a “What if Reborn is actually a grown-up Tsuna who time-travelled and now he’s having the time of his life by trolling his younger self and his friends"
This may or may not be the reason why Adult!Reborn is so extra in the Representative War, and why Reborn seems to know everything.
i've just read and reblogged your AU submissions in KHR aus blog, and i can see that you like crack fics... but what is the weirdest fanfic idea you ever had?
that one KHR OC-insert fic where instead of reincarnating as people…
they got reincarnated as rocks (pre-tri ni sette rocks)
please speak to me about silvertongue izuku... i'm a slut for deku AUs
(Here is the relevant post.)
Oh, wow. Okay. That’s a pretty graphic image lol.
Ask and ye shall receive!
Additional quirk mechanics:
Silvertongue is an emitter-type quirk. Aizawa can erase it.
Pronunciation is the key. If he doesn’t properly pronounce words, nothing will happen. Speaking with a lisp or with his mouth filled with food will not make his quirk work.
He can’t pause in between sentences for more than a second (only enough to catch his breath in case of long tangents), because nothing will also happen.
While tripping over his words will not activate his quirk, stuttering won’t stop his quirk from working as long as he manages to completely pronounce the word. (e.g. Saying “Smaug will evishe- eviscerate you.” does nothing. Saying “Smaug will e-eviscerate you” is still valid.)
His current limit is being able to read out loud continuously for a minute. If he wants to read again after reaching the limit, he has to take a 10-second pause because once he passes the 1-minute mark, he tires out his jaw muscles and voice/throat (how tired a person is from talking is doubled when his quirk is active). This is another reason why he is a manic mumbler; he crams a lot of words in under a minute.
If you knock Izuku out, whatever he summoned disappears. He’s actually vulnerable by himself, so he pushes his body when training to be fit enough to run or dodge, and won’t be a sitting duck. He does not become muscly and truly athletic until All Might makes him pick up trash at Dagobah.
Whatever Izuku summons is merely a shade of what is written (i.e. they’re nerfed and/or are less powerful versions). For example, Poseidon can’t do god-like feats (like split the sea in half), but he’s still pretty strong due to his abilities (like creating whirlpools, just not tsunami levels of whirlpools). Or he could read out about a world-ending meteor shower and he’ll get a less destructive, less powerful one.
To voluntarily disperse whatever he summoned, Izuku must either re-read or recite the passage word-for-word, or write and subsequently read something that would make them disappear (e.g. “After destroying everything, Smaug disappears in a wave of thick smoke, returning to the mountain whence it came.”)
(More under the cut.)
In this AU, Izuku inherited his quirk from his dad. Instead of plain fire breathing, his dad’s quirk is pyrokinetic lexiconicy. Whatever his dad reads out turns into word-shaped fire (like Fairy Tail’s Solid Script magic, only that it’s limited to materializing words into flames; or like Pokemon’s Fire Blast where the flames spell out a word/kanji).
Like Izuku, it’s also a passive quirk, but not limited to fiction. He used this to teach his son how to read by reading out the characters (katakana, hiragana, kanji) and to entertain him with the fire at the same time.
Izuku discovers his quirk when he was assigned to read a fairy tale to his classmates during kindergarten.
Izuku’s room (and dorm room) would not only be filled with All Might merch, his walls will be lined with shelves filled with fiction books as well. I also imagine that Izuku will be knowledgeable about some aspects of pop culture (latest entertainment such as games or books he could use for his quirk.)
When they were young, Izuku used to summon a dragon for Bakugou to ride on (like in the ED). Their moms forbade it again because a large dragon appearing out of nowhere gives people a heart attack and is highly disruptive.
To get back at bullies, he once orchestrated a prank by reading an anecdote from Harry Potter and summoning Voldemort.
I imagine that he and Bakugou will have a better relationship since there’s no reason for him to bully Izuku (the only reason he started was because in his POV, Izuku looked down on him by showing pity and how dare he when he was just a quirkless fuck). Despite this, they’d probably be both competitive and be proper rivals.
He’ll still get called Deku, but it’s a playful nickname now than an actual insult. He was called as such by Bakugou during a fight against older kids, where Bakugou took them all on by himself while Izuku was useless in the fight after they knocked him out/punched him so he couldn’t talk.
Though he does become All Might’s apprentice (post-sludge incident), Izuku doesn’t get One For All. In this AU, All Might doesn’t need a successor, but he’s not as strong as he used to be (still has the 3-hour limit). If the reason why he employed in Yuuei was to look for a successor in canon, his AU reason is contemplation of retirement. He’s well past his prime, but undecided on what to do. Nedzu offers employment as a teacher to the next generation.
All Might makes Izuku intern under Gran Torino to improve his mobility and evasion (Torino’s specialty). He also still gets to work with Nighteye’s office later on.
When coming up with hero names, Izuku gets teased a lot (”Muttering Hero, the Mumbler” and the like). He settles down with “Storyteller Hero, Deku”.
About his costume, I’ve thought about it some more and I think that something similar to Final Fantasy’s Scholar class would fit him: storyteller/librarian aesthetics, carries a book everywhere, the toga hat… yep.
For his gear, aside from pens with washable/disappearing ink, he also carries textile pens to write on his own costume and any type of fabric (heck, maybe even the clothes of his fellow heroes, the villains, and the civilians lol), and either permanent markers or indelible ink pens to write stuff that will not be erased (or washed away easily for the latter’s case).
An alternative to Izuku bringing a book or notebook filled with writing would be scrolls, which are also more compact and portable.
I like talking about AUs and fanfic ideas. It doesn’t have to be Silvertongue Izuku AU; it could be about Chuunibyou Izuku, or Homeless Tsuna AU, or even from my recent work, Incineration.
Please continue to talk to me about such (whether it’s your own idea or mine). :)
Okay, objectively speaking, no. You see, on a story-based perspective, I don’t dislike him. Someone’s gotta be an example/show exactly why the heroes aren’t as black-and-white as you think, and that someone is Endeavor. He’s a competent hero and at the same time, a shitty role model of a father. If you’ve read Illegals, Endeavor shows another side to him and you can see that he’s not a complete douchebag (about the Trigger users). I am simply apathetic towards him as a character.
This does not discount him on a personal level. I absolutely loathe Endeavor as a person, and that’s an understatement. He just personifies everything wrong with people - hides behind a great reputation and lawful facade, secretly an abusive, egocentric asshole with no regards for others. I won’t be satisfied until he’s off the Number One throne and thrown into jail.
It’s the same with Bakugou. Love him as a complex, multidimensional character, but I don’t hate him as much as Endeavor; only some dislike/disdain. With the current proceedings in the manga, he is slowly endearing himself to me (he’s getting better). However, unless he completely makes it up to Izuku (seriously, he told Deku to kill himself how is this not addressed again), he’ll be at the bottom of 1-A for me - just a little above Mineta.
I did, but it wasn’t as interesting as thinking up of quirk swap or opposites instead. I’m leaning more on the latter in terms of ideas, though.
Imagine the characters having quirks the opposite of what they have in canon: Izuku getting OP mind powers, Uraraka makes the gravitational pull stronger so instead of floating she can make things heavier, Iida getting some sort of slow motion quirk (he makes everyone else slow down opposed to himself running fast), and Bakugou. He’s still blessed with a good quirk. He gets implosion.
Todoroki is the same??? His sides just switch places. Loathes his father’s ice, loves his mother’s fire.
I guess Ashido can counter corrosion and acid instead. Kaminari would probably be a Ground-type this time, and Kirishima can be gelatinous (squishy Kiri lol). I’m not sure about people like Yaoyorozu or Sero.
Mineta would be funny because not only does he repel girls, he can also repel them with his quirk. He doesn’t stick anymore.
Imagine Aoyama and Tokoyami. One would be the denizen of darkness who shoots pitch black beams, and the other would be the representation of purity and the Holy Spirit for he has become a dove. Edgelord Tokoyami still be chuuni tho.
Lmao Sugar Man becomes either salty or bitter. I dunno which one is more amusing.
Kouda would be legit scary because he can control humans now instead of animals. Fuck.
I guess Shinsou gets empathy now. Instead of imposing his will unto others, he can receive their wills...?????? idk
Aizawa, instead of erasing quirks, might instead activate them. The trick is, if Aizawa is the one who activates your quirk for you, you can’t control it, but he certainly can.
Present Mic would be a silence magic caster or something. He will mute down any sound and in fact, render you deaf due to the silence. Or his whispers have some sort of paralysis factor because you’ll find yourself stunned in place once you hear his soft voice. (maybe Death Whisper idk)
Stain can probably spit out acid/poison/paralyzing blood. Or instead of making you stop once he ingests your blood, he can control you, like Opposite!Aizawa can.
Imagine Todoroki’s parents having each other’s quirks. As I’ve read in pitviperofdoom’s blog, that would be extra traumatizing because Todoroki’s burn??? Might actually be hand-shaped this time around because his mother can do it herself.
Uh, do you mean separate ships or crossover ships???
I have yet to like any crossover ships for these 2 series.
As for individual ships, I like All27 and Dekubowl. Tsuna and Deku are both wholesome in a way that you could ship them with literally anyone in the cast, except the parents/teachers/adults IMO because I really can’t see All Might/Deku or something along those lines.
The Varia (specifically Xanxus) is an exception to me because it could happen if it’s TYL!Tsuna who is more mature & TYL!Xanxus who could have more chill than his younger self (also the significant age gap of ~10 years isn’t problematic at that stage, I guess).
Same goes for the Arcobaleno if the physical age gap is not too big once they reach their body’s adult forms. Sure, they’re mentally ancient compared to Tsuna but if handled well, it could work once Tsuna is also older.
(Or make him time travel or something. I dunno.)
On the other hand, Deku with characters who have a significant age gap to him doesn’t appeal to me at all (e.g. Shigaraki, Stain, etc.). The oldest I can see a possible ship with him is Mirio (if he’s not paired with Tamaki) or Kouichi from Illegals.
Also, when it comes to BNHA, I automatically squick at (excessively) crack pairings. Very much unlike in KHR where even Yamamoto/Wall is acceptable to me.
Heya! I love, love, love your KHR/BNHA fic. Have you ever thought of what will happen with his Guardians around? Also if they were born into BNHA-verse?
CONTAIN SPOILERS FROM KHR AND/OR (MINOR) FROM BNHA
Why, yes. Yes, I have.
Okay, so I based their lives on what quirk will they have or what their background is.
I bet that to keep Mukuro from doing anything illegal, Hibari from imposing his iron-clad rules, and Gokudera from establishing Vongola, Tsuna would push them onto heroics — it helps society, it promotes discipline, it involves fighting, and it’s 100% legal.
I imagine that Tsuna and his friends would be 1-A’s senpai. This is mainly to parallel their class placement in Namimori. Back there, they were middle school sophomores. Now, they’re high school sophomores. Hibari, Mukuro, and Ryohei are seniors.
Now I don’t want Lambo to feel left out (that 9-10 year difference is really big), so I decided that he’s in Izuku’s batch, along with Chrome. Don’t get me wrong — I know Chrome is canonically in the same batch as Tsuna, but I thought that she’s 1 year younger and so Lambo wouldn’t be isolated, I moved her down to his grade level.
I also thought it’d be funny if the main male trio (Tsuna, Gokudera, & Yamamoto) became related to BNHA’s main male trio (Deku, Bakugou, & Todoroki). This isn’t just that; their possible quirks are compatible, too! On the other hand, Lambo is related to a canon character only for quirk-related purposes. Lightning flames resemble Electrification quirk too closely, so it would only make sense if he’s related to Kaminari.
As for their classes, I imagined that Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto were put into Aizawa’s class and when he committed mass expulsion, only those three passed. They can’t exactly hold a special section for 3 people only, so they were absorbed by the other section. Thus, theirs is the only batch in Heroics department with only 1 class comprised of students more than the usual amount.
(More under the cut.)
So here’s a list of their reincarnated names, quirks, and hero names:
Place of Origin: Shizuoka Prefecture (Musutafu, Japan)
Class: 2-A
Hero Name: Blazing Hero, Reborn
Quirk: Dying Will
Special Move: X-Burner
Current appearance: Green hair and orange eyes
Fun fact, the kanji for tsunagu can also mean to tie or fasten, like actual ropeI decided that his name (I-e-tsu-na) would be as such because both Inko (I-n-ko) and Izuku (I-zu-ku) are like that. It matches.
Izuku’s information in the wiki states that his birthplace “near Shizuoka”. The specific city he lives in is Musutafu (isn’t confirmed to be in any particular prefecture). However…
“The Shizuoka area” can be interpreted as either “near Shizuoka” or within Shizuoka itself. So I decided to just specify it as Shizuoka. The reason for this is because some would be in another prefecture (e.g. Lambo, being related to Kaminari whilst the main trio are in Musutafu), so segregate them into groups and put them in different places, I say!
The locations I considered for their birthplaces are either in accordance with their BNHA relatives or accessibility to interactions with others. Shizuoka isn’t too far from Saitama (where Kaminari lives in), so it wouldn’t be too farfetched for Tsuna, Gokudera, or Yamamoto to interact with Lambo prior to attending Yuuei.
Okay, about his hero name. Tsuna would be nothing if Reborn didn’t come in his life, and I’m sure he knows that, too. He appreciates his sadistic tutor for everything he has done and he wouldn’t be the person he is today without Reborn’s guidance. Not to mention the fact that they’ve literally been reborn. So I think he would pay homage to his hitman tutor.
His quirk, Dying Will, is more or less the same as his ability in his past life. There are some parts of it different, like not having petrification anymore and only having access to his Sky flames (no Oath flames sorry!):
It’s a physical manifestation of Tsuna’s life force, taking the form of flames. Literally “dying”, because the more damages he takes, the stronger his fire. Literally “will”, because it only burns what he wills it to burn.
Zero Point Breakthrough: First Edition & Revised only works on organic stuff. Life force is organic. People, animals, and plants are living; also organic. Quirk-made energy such as Kaminari’s electricity can only be absorbed by Tsuna because he produced it himself.
Tsuna can’t absorb normal fire, etc. Tsuna can’t freeze non-living things unless they’re organic (produced by a quirk such as the case with Yaomomo) or they’re covered in organic stuff.
Tsuna’s Hyper Intuition is covered by this quirk, too. Being able to harness one’s life force. Dying Will Flames are harnessed from one’s life force. Due to the way it resonates with one’s emotions, it has been regarded as a type of battle aura. Basically, HI is the manifestation of Tsuna’s aura-sensing abilities/passive aura-related abilities.
Another passive ability would be from the “harmony” aspect of Sky flames. In his quirk, this converts to the “pull” that people feel towards him. Their aura is reacting to his aura.
Midoriya Hisashi can breathe fire. I will assume that his relatives also have fire-related quirks, so Tsuna’s quirk can still fall under it.
Tsuna can’t teach Izuku how to light up flames because his abilities are now a quirk - an ability you’re born with and cannot be taught. Dying Will isn’t like OFA wherein he can pass it on, nor is it like AFO in which he can steal and give abilities he stole.
I included special moves because heroes in BNHA have them. Their special move may not exactly be their strongest. Rather, it’s more of which one in their arsenal is their signature move. In Tsuna’s case, it’s his X-Burner.
Whilst Tsuna and the others may have the same faces, things such as their hair color, eye color, freckles, etc. may be different due to having new parents. We don’t know what Midoriya Hisashi looks like, so I gave Tsuna Inko’s hair color instead. He got orange eyes (like in HDWM) because he is now actively tapping into his life force 24/7 unlike before.
With Tsuna around, surely he wouldn’t let Izuku get bullied, yes? Of course, he’d protect his brother from bullies. However, they are in different grade levels and Izuku seems to be the type to hide his troubles so his loved ones wouldn’t worry (even if he doesn’t know that they know anyway). He probably wouldn’t get too bullied, but it won’t go away. Not with Izuku being quirkless, nor with Bakugou’s twisted inferiority superiority complex.
Bakugou Hayatō/Hayatou
Hayatō: 隼 haya “falcon” + 勝 tō “superior/be superior to”
Place of Origin: Shizuoka Prefecture (Musutafu, Japan)
Class: 2-A
Hero Name: Smoking Hero, Hurricane Bomb
Quirk: Explosive Constructs
Special Move: Rocket Bombs
Current appearance: Silver blond hair and red eyes
Yes, “Hayatō” and not “Hayato”, due to the kanji. Now, the first kanji in his name is the same as his old name, whilst the second is from Masaru 勝. Since Bakugou (Katsuki) is a combination of Masaru and Mitsuki 光己 (Katsuki is 勝己), I thought it’s appropriate for Gokudera to get kanji from their parents. Unfortunately, using Mitsuki’s kanji would in no way be read as “haya”. Luckily, “tō” is an alternate way of reading his father’s kanji. A friend was the one to suggest this to me, although I am unsure if it can be considered a “kira-kira” name due to the reading.
Bakugou lives in the same area as Izuku, so that’s that.
Regarding his hero name, Gokudera has both been referred to as “Smoking Bomb” or “Hurricane Bomb”, so I thought, why not both? …The reason for the description as “Smoking Hero” has something to do with his quirk.
For his quirk, I originally thought of giving him Explosive Fire instead (which is fire that explodes upon contact), but then he wouldn’t need his bombs anymore. Gokudera is bomb-reliant. A quirk without involving bombs for him is complete blast-phemy okay sorry for the forced pun and in the end, I gave him the ability to produce his own fireworks. Details:
As the name implies, Explosive Construct is to create explosives. Its main/default/non-removable property is to create an explosion. Now what is particular about this, is what extra attribute his bomb will have.
This extra aspect depends on what he consumes: food, beverages, vices, and other organic things such as leaves and quirk-made stuff (Yaomomo’s creations, Todoroki’s flames, body crystal from that one villain, etc.). For example, Gokudera smokes a cigarette. That’s considered as consumption since he technically inhales the smoke.
Gokudera smokes so he can produce smoke bombs and light up the other explosives he made.
The explosive property is from Masaru, whilst the “manually made from myself/organically-produced” property is from Mitsuki (Masaru can’t forcibly secrete the explody sweat, but Mitsuki can willfully emit her glycerin).
Now, about Gokudera’s coloring: both parents haven’t been shown in a colored spread so I can’t tell what color their hair and eyes are. However, I can assume that one of them has ash blond hair and red eyes (because that’s what Bakugou has). Blond hair is a light color and so is silver, so I gave Gokudera silvery blond. Red eyes because Bakugou. Yeah.
His relationship with his younger brother would be a little rocky. Both are equally hot-tempered. However, they can be vastly different in which Bakugou grows up to be a jerk and Gokudera’s not; not with his past memories, he wouldn’t. Yes, he would be as abrasive as Bakugou, but he wouldn’t be openly hostile without a proper reason. He’ll be irritated, but wouldn’t want to beat you up or kill you for a small issue.
Not to mention that Gokudera’s a goddamn genius as a child in his past life. What more if he had access to his knowledge as an adult, amirite? Bakugou could have formed a sense of inferiority due to his desire to one-up his older brother, too; sibling rivalry.
This could be the reason for Bakugou to be more polite towards Tsuna and Inko. Tsuna’s the supportive-type of brother who wouldn’t antagonize you. He and Gokudera would probably butt heads a lot. Inko is a motherly adult whom he’s known as a kid so he probably wouldn’t be explosive towards her, unlike his potty mouth mother. Izuku is a different story because he’s quirkless and the fuck ton of issues he has with the other.
Man, Bakugou’s a complicated person.
Todoroki Takeshi
Place of Origin: Shizuoka Prefecture (Musutafu, Japan)
Class: 2-A
Hero Name: Samurai Hero, Shigure
Quirk: Tranquil Rain
Special Move(s): Shigure Soen Ryu
Current appearance: White hair fading into red and blue eyes
I couldn’t think of a good new name for Yamamoto, sorry!
Him being part of the Todoroki family was… unplanned. Originally, Tsuna is supposed to be Todoroki’s older brother due to the fire and ice thing. But then I had that idea with KHR main male trio = BNHA main male trio older brothers so… that’s that. Also, rain flames is watery and you can derive water from fire and ice combined.
Endeavor doesn’t seem to be the type to send his kids to a public school, even if they’re just failures. Orudera isn’t exactly a school for the wealthy/famous, so no Yamamoto there. A possible chance of the trio reuniting would be in kindergarten, elementary school, or meeting each other by chance since they all live in the same city.
Why Samurai Hero? Yamamoto is a swordsman. He’s reliant on using a sword and I bet you that he’d bring his mad blade skills to his next life if he could. Why Shigure? Same name as the sword and the sword style. Also, Shigure 時雨 can mean “drizzle” as a whole and “time/season” + “rain”, respectively (it’s also apparently translated as “Shower in Late Autumn”? Dunno how they got autumn there).
His quirk (and Rain flames) match Shigure perfectly:
Can produce water (”rain” in Shigure).
Water can slow down enemies (the “tranquil” part which was originally from rain flames). This part represents the “time” in Shigure.
Other than the fact that they aren’t flames anymore, Yamamoto’s quirk is no different from Rain flames.
His appearance is based on his new parents. Speaking of Endeavor, Yamamoto’s quirk is indeed a mix of the two. However, I bet this isn’t exactly what the man had in mind when he thought of a perfect quirk to beat All Might. Also, it’s water — not really a good idea to mix with his fire. Yamamoto is no pushover either, and his unfaltering sunny disposition would probably put Endeavor off, too.
I think Todoroki’s Half-Hot, Half-Cold is what he prefers because it’s flashy, powerful, and more wholesomely destructive compared to Yamamoto. This doesn’t mean water is weak and useless; I’m just basing it on Endeavor’s perspective.
With Yamamoto as Todoroki’s brother, I don’t think he’d get as pushed to the limit like in canon, but the other probably can’t prevent every abuse from their burning garbage of a father. He can’t exactly run away, either — since Todoroki isn’t willing to leave willy-nilly (also Endeavor, with his influence and power, can probably drag them back home screaming). They didn’t have the luxury of having the mind of an instant resilient adult when they were born.
He’ll just be a pillar of support for his family, I guess.
Haregawa Ryohei
Haregawa: 晴 hare “sun/sunny” + 川 gawa “river”
Place of Origin: Nagano Prefecture
Class: 3-B
Hero Name: Boxing Hero, Counterpunch
Quirk: Activation
Special Move: Maximum Cannon
Current appearance: Mostly the same, I guess?
I just wanted to give him a new surname instead of a revised given name because I couldn’t think of anything and am an uncreative fuck. The first kanji is literally the one used for Sun flames.
Why live in Nagano? Because Nagano borders more prefectures than any other in Japan which kinda parallels Ryohei’s friendliness/openness and the province’s mountains have made it relatively isolated which mirrors Hibari’s isolationist nature (yes, Hibari also lives in this prefecture).
Not to mention that despite Namimori being somewhat an urban community, there’s a large forest nearby (Future Arc) and Namimori Shrine looks like the ones in the provinces, denoting that it’s a town in a mostly rural area.
Hero name reasoning: simple. He’s a boxer. Also references his Sunshine Counter in KHR.
His quirk is also equally simple. He gets to keep the activation aspect of Sun flames, but not the fire aspect. Activation involves stimulating and augmenting stuff. This gets him to keep everything he can do in KHR:
Punch hard? “Activate” (Augment) his own body.
Heal people? “Activate” their cells and body’s healing factor.
The issue with Sunshine Counter/Uppercut: He can’t do this anymore. Well, either that or he can somehow absorb the impact of someone’s hit and activate his body so he can send it back + force from his own power, so double the damage.
About Ryohei’s appearance, I’m not sure about changing anything because his quirk isn’t closely similar to anyone that I’d need him to be related to them, thus, changing his appearance in a way.
I put him, Hibari, and Mukuro in 3-B because I assume that the Big 3 are in 3-A and I didn’t want to put them all in the same class. That’s it. There’s no deeper reason behind it.
Kaminari Ranbō/Ranbou
Ranbō: 乱 ran “disordered/chaotic“ + 暴 bō “acting with destructive force”. Together, 乱暴 is “roughness/violent/rude/act recklessly”.
Place of Origin: Saitama Prefecture
Class: 1-A
Hero Name: Lightning Hero, Lambo
Quirk: Lightning Rod
Special Move: Elettrico Cornata
Current appearance: Black hair and gold eyes
I made him related to Kaminari because as I have mentioned near the beginning, it’s quirk-related. Lightning flames are similar to actual electricity. That hits too close to home and I couldn’t let a chance pass wherein I can give Lambo a proper, BNHA-canon biological family. He and Kaminari are twins, with him as the younger one.
About his name, I learned that the romaji for Lambo’s name is an actual word. So I used it as his new given name. It references the role of the Lightning Guardian which is ”To draw damage to himself and away from the rest of the Famiglia, serving as a lightning rod.“.
He belongs in Saitama, because that’s where his brother lives.
Hero name time! So the Lightning Hero is a no-brainer, and I figure that Adult!Lambo (which is the mentality he had before he died) would be pretty laid-back so to speak; thus, he would choose something that isn’t too complicated and has sentimental value… which is his previous life’s name.
For his quirk, it has one major difference from Kaminari’s Electrification — Lambo can’t produce his own electricity. As the name suggests, he’s a human lightning rod; he can only absorb (and release) electricity. It’s why he charges himself with an outside source (such as his brother and household electricity). Once he runs out of electricity, his quirk is useless unless gets to absorb again.
Current appearance: why the black hair? About Kaminari, I’m not sure if his hair is dyed in some way and if so, which color is the dyed part? Is it the blond hair or the black streak? Most likely the streak but you never know. Gold is Kaminari’s eye color. That’s all there is to it.
In BNHA-verse, I imagined him as Chrome’s age. Technically, he’s older than her now: Lambo’s new birthday is the same as Kaminari (June 29) while Chrome, like the others, keep their original birthdays (hers is December 5). Despite this, he still calls her “Chrome-nee” out of habit.
He sits behind Kaminari (Lambo is Seat No. 8), so Kirishima is now Seat No. 9. He and Chrome replace Kouji and Sato in 1-A. I was originally going to put them in 1-B, but there’s too little information about them so… yeah.
Namimori Kyouya
Namimori: 並 nami “average” + 盛 mori “prime/peak”
Place of Origin: Nagano Prefecture
Class: 3-B
Hero Name: Disciplinary Hero, Hibari
Quirk: Propagation
Special Move: None he doesn’t need one
Current appearance: Relatively unchanged
Okay, okay. Since reincarnation = not always having the same surname, I came up with giving him “Namimori” as his family name. Everyone else finds it amusing, but Hibari likes it. Same name as his territory in a previous life where he terrorized the citizens and “disciplined” the unruly, what’s not to like?
As mentioned in Ryohei’s entry, Nagano’s mountains have made it relatively isolated which mirrors Hibari’s isolationist nature. Also, it’d be funny if he grows up with Ryohei all over again. As much as Hibari would more or less break into hives at socialization, Ryohei would reign him in. I mean, have you seen TYL!Ryohei and TYL!Hibari? Like, they’re such bros??
His old surname is too perfect as a hero name, I couldn’t resist recycling it. Hibari 雲雀 as a whole means “skylark”, while separately it’s 雲 “cloud” and 雀 “sparrow”. Skylarks are solitary, migratory, and territorial. Sparrows are the same (not sure if they’re territorial, though).
Similar to Ryohei, he gets to keep the property of Cloud flames, minus the flame part. According to KHR, Cloud flames involve multiplying and expanding. Not really that big of a deal when it comes to the quirk lottery, but with Hibari’s frightening combat prowess, he doesn’t even need to be reliant on an extra ability to beat people into a pulp. Even more so when you beat him down.
Talk to Hibari? He’ll bite you to death.
Fight Hibari? He’ll bite you to death.
Defeat Hibari? Unlikely, since he’ll bite you to death. But in the very miniscule chance that you do get to beat him, he’ll rise from defeat and endure all physical and mental pain out of spite to prove his superiority and assert dominance because fuck you he’s a carnivore.
Exist? He’ll definitely bite you to death, unless you’re a kid or a cute animal.
He also canonically doesn’t have a special move. Maybe it’s because he can bite you to death without resorting to any fancy skill. I dunno.
I picture him as the actual strongest student in Yuuei. He just isn’t… very friendly nor cooperative. He’s also not one for fame, but rather, for infamy. Hibari is the guy you won’t hear about in the news, but one that you’d hear about in gossips and rumors. He’s the perfect underground hero — the more violent and volatile version of Aizawa.
Since he’s such an outlier and a wild card, I don’t think many outside of Yuuei would have heard of him.
But he is a living urban legend on campus.
Kurodo Mukuro
Kurodo: 黒 kuro “black” + 道 do “path/method”
Place of Origin: Yamanashi Prefecture
Class: 3-B
Hero Name: Illusionist Hero, Rokudo
Quirk: Six Paths of Reincarnation
Special Move: Genjuu Gagaia
Current appearance: Substantially the same
Another unoriginal name variation, I know. I practically used the anagram of his surname and used different kanji (though I kept the “do” part).
As for his place of origin, there really wasn’t any deep thought put into it. I looked at a map of Japan, saw Yamanashi bordering Shizuoka, Nagano, and Saitama, and decided “hey, that’s where I’m putting the pineapple wonder duo”. In addition to that, Gran Torino’s apartment is there. It’s a rundown building and it isn’t too farfetched to infer that there are more rundown buildings in the vicinity… where Mukuro and Chrome would feel right at home.
Illusionist Hero, Rokudo is… self-explanatory. He’s an illusionist and Rokudo literally means “six paths”, like his ability (六 roku “six” + do “path/method”).
Six Paths of Reincarnation was too perfect a quirk; it covers the illusion aspect of Mist flames, too. For those who don’t know/remember, the Realm of Hell (first path) grants Mukuro the power to create real illusions capable of manifesting in the physical/real world.
Genjuu Gagaia roughly translates to “Real Illusion Beast - Corpse-Eating Crows”. It’s a pretty… graphic name and very literal in application. It’s also a perfect special move for Mukuro because illusions and violence; and Chrome didn’t use it in canon. Hard to give them a separate special move to develop when they share almost every ability.
And finally…
Kurodo Nagi
Nagi: 凪 “peaceful”
Place of Origin: Yamanashi Prefecture
Class: 1-A
Hero Name: Illusionist Hero, Chrome
Quirk: Illusion
Special Move: Cortina Nebbia
Current appearance: Substantially the same
I kept her original name, because I can.
This time, unlike in KHR, she and Mukuro are biological siblings. This is also to solve the problem of them having closely-related quirks.
I gave her the same title as Mukuro because despite learning how to be independent from her master in KHR… she still looks up to him and owes him a lot, so I think she’d want to emulate him in some way. One minor way is to have the same hero title. For her name, Chrome is too perfect of an alias. Not her real name, has sentimental value, and is an anagram of Mukuro’s name.
Her quirk is similar to Mukuro, except for the fact that she can only make illusions. She has no access to his other abilities such as human possession, which is granted by the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
For her special move, only Cortina Nebbia is the ability that Mukuro didn’t use (I might remember this wrong, though). It’s also a defensive technique, which fits the pacifistic Chrome a lot more than genocidal Mukuro.
What I didn’t mention in Mukuro’s entry has something to do with the surname. I didn’t want to change the seating arrangement of 1-A too much (which is inevitable if I’m replacing 2 canon characters with 2 from KHR). Lambo, much to my relief, was a shoe-in for Kaminari. Chrome’s was the trickier part. I thought, “what surname would keep Chrome in Sato and Kouji’s column?”, then I remembered anagrams and from Rokudo/Dokuro -> Kurodo.
Chrome is currently Seat No. 10. She sits between Uraraka and Todoroki.
For reference of the seats (alphabetical order is vertical):
Have you ever tried writing original fiction? I think your works are good!
I was usually coerced into joining poem writing contests when I was still a student, but I’m not really much into writing original fiction.
However, I did write one back in high school. It’s about a cat whose owner died and was left to his nephew. Said cat is not very fond of his new human, but he eventually ends up looking after him anyway.
Since it’s for a “Best Original Fiction First Chapter” contest (or something along those lines), I only wrote the opening chapter. There is no official ending to the story.
There’s probably a lot of mistakes and the flow of the story might be shit, but I literally copy-pasted it from the document (no revision whatsoever), so pardon the bad writing of ol’ high schooler me. :’D
Without further ado, here is “How to Raise a Human for Dummies”.
Summary: Basically, even after taking care of him, my debt-wringing drunk bastard of an owner still died and left me to (watch over) his nephew. I can't decide who's worse.
(More under the cut.)
Ah, sweet, sweet couch. How I never want to part with you ever again. This silky fabric, this soft cushion, and mhmm, this velvety texture.... I'm in heaven. I can see the brat glaring at me on the side, but who cares about him?
Oh, you must be wondering who I am.
The name is Schrodinger. My owner calls me by that name — sometimes Schro, if he's too lazy to say my entire name (and why he gave me such a long-ass name remains a mystery to me) — but when he's drunk, which is practically most of the time, he just says a weird mix of my name and some other guy's during his slurs.
I'm your regular, run-on-the-mill tom cat. A few superstitious people thought of me as bad luck, because of my pitch-black fur and heterochromatic eyes. Honestly, humans… if I was one, I'd probably flip them a finger.
Anyways, I've been living in the streets as a kit until I was taken in by a pure, kind-hearted man.
...Oh, who am I kidding?
My owner's the biggest bastard of them all. Why he even bothered to pick little ol' me all those years ago, I'll never understand. I've been staying with Carter, my owner, for five human years (that's around thirty-six years in cat lifespan, mind you!) and I still don't understand how he thinks.
Maybe some things will just remain a mystery.
It's kind of sad to think that I'm still single and haven't got laid with a dazzling female kit out there, but I'm thinking that I've been scarred into celibacy, seeing as I was exposed to my owner's... nightly endeavors for every single day of my life; unless he was on duty, I suppose. If there was a world record for the highest number a person beds everyday, Carter would've won, hands down.
As a cat in general, I'd never thought of anyone as my owner. We felines are highly proud creatures; the most majestic and most graceful of them all. We don’t need humans to survive. However, as much as I hate to admit it, Carter took me in during my most miserable moment, and I owed a lot to him.
Besides, the man makes the best cat food I've ever eaten.
Our relationship isn't entirely owner and pet, though. Even if I regard him as my owner, it ends up with me looking out for him. God knows how many people tried to kill him, both on and off-duty, and I can't deny I haven't tried it myself. Not only that, Carter was neglectful of his health at times, and I often find myself threatening to scratch him if he doesn't get his lazy ass off his bed.
You could say that I'm living the easy life — barring the fact that I take care of a grown man in my own way — since I'm in a cozy home, well-fed, and well-groomed everyday.
Recently though, that has not been the case.
Basically, even after taking care of him, my debt-wringing drunk bastard of an owner still died and left me to (watch over) his nephew. I can't decide who's worse.
Honestly, that man had the gall to just die off without telling me. Do you have any idea how many life-and-death situations he had survived?
You see, Carter is a military officer, and he's been sent off to various wars and human skirmishes. He comes back home — sometimes gravely injured, most of the time, not — but still alive. The man has the tenacity and survivability of a damn cockroach!
That civil war in Afghanistan? That mini skirmish in Vietnam? That dispute with North Korea? That one time he almost bled to death but still lived anyway? Hell, I even spit out hairballs into his whiskey back when he forgot to feed me for a day and he hadn't choked to his death!
He's gone through it all, and not once was his life taken away.
He's not supposed to die. I was counting on that, you know? I mean, he was too much of a bastard to die. He was a liar, a horrible drunk, a womanizer, a manipulative little snitch, and I figured he wouldn't die simply because God would do anything to keep him away as much as possible.
That's not the only issue here. The most infuriating part was that he left a will, in which he gives all his assets (and me) to his sister (regardless of the irony, if you get what I mean), who had a son (that was bad); Carter's fourteen-year-old, snot-nosed nephew.
Why did he do that?
...Damn you, Carter.
I had plans on my own — only that people don't know I can think — and you've ruined them.
When news of his uncle's death reached him, I saw him writhe in despair. Me too, I thought at the time. Why am I stuck with a brat like you?
On the other hand, Collins (I couldn’t be bothered to learn his given name) was sitting there on the side, wishing for his own death. The brat was suicidal, from what I heard, since he blamed himself for his father's death and his own evil uncle got to go before he did.
I have this impression that unhealthy mentalities run in the family.
At least Carter went out with style. I mean, he was chasing after some runaway terrorist in Africa and then he got mauled by a pack of lions and that managed to kill him, just because he wasn't paying attention, I think.
Death isn't something that anyone should ever take lightly, but I can't help but see the humor in it. “And then he got mauled by a pack of lions because of his stupidity”.
Hah.
Obviously, Collins can't appreciate it. He thinks it's an insult that Carter went first. They did say that there's only rest for the wicked.
As I said before, Carter left me to his nephew.
It was hate at first sight, I admit.
I like kids, I really do. Even when they're trying to pull my tail, I'd still find them adorable.
However, something about the brat just rubbed me the wrong way. I despised him and he loathed my very presence. It was a mutual hate relationship. Every time I strutted by, I'd hiss and try to scratch him. Every time he saw me, he'd give me a glare and would try to grab me.
I'm proud to say that he's never won any of our clashes. Those scratch marks on his arms were proof of that.
The brat and I… I don't think we'd ever get along. Besides, he's creepy. If I only knew that Carter's death would tantamount to raising some twisted little kid, I would've ran away the moment he died.
Obviously, I didn't know. That's why I ended up in a house (which has a killer couch, by the way) with Carter's awesome sister and her fucked up son.
Speaking of Carter's sister, Rachel was a single parent and thus, was out of the house most of the time — which meant, the brat and I were often alone, and trying to gut each other every time.
Collins was a lousy investment. He was mentally twisted, he was scrawny, he was clumsy, he wasn't smart, and he had zero self-esteem.
The sensible thing to do would be to stay away from the brat. The best decision, in fact, would be to leave the kid and sleep on the rooftop until Rachel comes back or something. Unfortunately, we seem to have this magnetic connection that compels us to be in each other's presence despite our mutual hate.
For reasons extremely unclear to me, I'm spending a lot of time hissing at the brat, when I shouldn't even bat an eyelash at him.
…
Hot damn, I'm actually looking out for the kid.
…No, no. I'm only doing this for Rachel.
Really.
Rachel, I really do love you and think of you as a goddess sent from paradise, but you make the worst cat food ever. What is this reddish-brown lump in my bowl? I poked it a few times and I think it moved. There goes my lunch. I'm going to have to settle with rummaging the neighbor's trash can. Never ours, because similar... things definitely ended up there.
I looked over at the brat, and his face seemed a bit green. I took a peek at his food and grimaced. It was a green thing and... was that supposed to be mashed potato? It looks like a mush of poop. I don't even want to know how mold got to his food when all of Rachel's ingredients were fresh.
Great. Carter's sister is an awful cook. How did Collins survive up to this day?
Then I remembered that a few of my owner's money went straight to him, instead of his mom. Maybe there was a valid reason why Carter sent me to their house.
I was bemoaning my fate when someone rang the doorbell. Getting curious, I walked to the doorway and saw a man around Rachel's age. He had brown hair, contrasting the family's trademark blonde hair, and blue eyes, which sort of clashed with the family's gray ones. The guy was carrying Chinese food and some cans with a picture of a cat on them.
Yuck.
If there was something I disliked more than the brat, it was commercialized cat food. However, Rachel's cooking represented death itself and I'm not taking any chances. I'd rather take the canned cat food over her grub any day.
The new arrival's not that bad, I guess. He had this fatherly aura around him. I eventually learned that his name was John, and he was Rachel's current boyfriend. Well, that, and the fact that Collins hated him with every fiber of his being.
...I knew there was a reason I liked this man.
Then once Rachel left the kitchen, the man instantly got rid of her cooking.
Go, lover boy, go! Rid us of these monstrosities!
When he had disposed of those... things, he brought out that Chinese food and those cans of cat food. I had the urge to hiss when the smell of the cat food wafted to my nose. Ugh. I still can't stand the stench, and the taste would be stale, too. But I guess I'll just have to make do with it if I don't want to starve.
After he gave me food, he gave a box to the kid, and I can see that he didn't want to eat it if it came from the man who wanted to get into his mother's pants. Oh, come on, you whiny brat. If I could put up with cheap cat food, then you can put up with perfectly decent Chinese food from your mother's lover boy.
When John took a dumpling, I thought, this is gonna be good.
If I was human, I would've laughed my ass off already. But I wasn't, so I settled with staring smugly at the brat who had the time to glare at me while John was distracted. The glare wasn't intimidating, no. It more or less resembled a pout.
That didn't deter John from his mission.
Oh, sweet lord, he thought that Collins wanted to be spoon-fed (or chopstick-fed, whatever, you get the idea). It was, simply put, hilarious.
"Stop treating me like a little kid."
"You're only fourteen, Peter."
"That's already grown up in my books!"
"Don't be like that. Here comes the train, choo-choo!"
Hahaha, I can't stop.
They went on, with Collins (or Peter, whichever) spouting hurtful personal comments. Not that hurtful, though, and that gave me the impression that the brat was only pretending to hate John. I think he genuinely likes him, seeing as the man paid him attention his mother could not, but couldn't accept him since he didn't want his father to be replaced. Brat probably believes in that 'I have only one father and mother in my lifetime' business.
I think John has the same idea, too, since he's smiling fondly at the brat.
Feh.
Humans.
This was why I hated commercialized cat food.
My stomach rumbled painfully as I howled, trying to catch Rachel's attention. The brat was sneering at me, but there seemed to be something else in his eyes.
Oh, great. The last thing I needed was pity from snot-nosed brats.
"Aww, don't you worry, little kitty," Rachel cooed at me. If I wasn't feeling miserable right now, I would have appreciated the attention. Alas, I am too far deep willowing in my own agony.
If you are curious, Rachel and the brat brought me over to a veterinarian to check what's wrong with me. They still don't understand that it was the fault of cheap cat food. I hissed at the idea of it, and they think it's because we passed by the neighbor's chihuahua.
Ah, that common misperception that cats and dogs are mortal enemies. A cat and a dog have a hissing-slash-barking fight and people think the rest of us are like that, too. To be honest, I love dogs just as much as I love kids, and that's probably why I'm sticking around the brat despite my huge dislike for him. He's all bark and no bite.
I was cut short of my musings when the veterinarian came and checked on me. When Rachel asked for the doctor's verdict, the man replied something about foreign substances in what I eat. "What did you feed him last night?"
Rachel showed him the can of cat food and I saw the doctor's eyes widened. "I think I know what caused your cat's stomach ache. This food here has a high content of science, science, science. Science, science..."
Or that's how it sounded to me, who didn't give a damn about human education. Why they're studying that much, I'd never see the reason. You see, we cats only learn three things: how to hunt, how to scavenge, and how to beg. All three are vital for survival if we want food or shelter, even if the last one is a bit degrading on our part.
To see humans taking up a lot of subjects and topics was something that any animal wouldn't understand.
I can see the brat was also confused. Meanwhile, Rachel, who somehow managed to understand all that technobabble, happily replied to the doctor's rambles. "Oh, I see. I'm so dumb that I've never thought of science, science, science!"
Geeks, I sniffed disdainfully.
"Ah, speaking of which," The doctor said. "What is your cat's name? I need to make an official clinical record for him for future references."
"Oh, um... actually, I have no idea," Rachel admitted, unabashedly. "My brother never stated his name in the papers, so..."
"Why not give him a name now? He is your cat, after all."
When I saw the brat smirked, I knew something bad was going to happen. Collins tugged at his mother's skirt and giving her his best puppy-dog eyes (I blanched at the sight. Brat has many ways to go before he can be as good as his uncle), he spoke in a clearly forced childish voice.
I winced, thinking that the two adults bought his little charade, but he can't fool me.
"Mom, why not name him Mr. Fluffles, just like that kitty cartoon on the t.v.?"
I hissed at him. Screw the brat. He knew I hated that sorry excuse of a show!
Rachel's eyes sparkled. Oh, hell no. "That's a great idea, sweetie! Okay. From now on, he will be Mr. Fluffles!"
Damn you all. The name is Schrodinger. S-C-H-R-O-D-I-N-G-E-R. The brat knows my name! If you can't pronounce my name right, just call me Schro. Over my dead body will I be called 'Mr. Fluffles' of all things!
While the doctor and Rachel were distracted, the brat smirked at me and mouthed, "You're going to lose."
I hissed at him more. I am not going to lose!
I lost. Badly.
It was bad enough that they named me Mr. Fluffles, but to put it on the official papers and get a degrading hot pink collar with that name on it? I'd be the laughing stock of my fellow felines!
I curse you, Collins. You are the child of the devil, I swear.
My only hope was John's opinion, but even he thought it was a cute name. John, you traitor. I'll get you, just you wait!
At least I had a consolation prize that made the brat sulk all day long. Apparently, John wanted to bring Collins to a kiddie fair and Rachel agreed. Hah. It made me feel a tiny bit better, since he was grumbling and being grumpy because of it. The brat yelled, complained, and kicked all he wanted, but nothing he did changed his mother’s nor John's mind.
We did go to that embarrassing kiddie fair. For serious, for real, we went to a kiddie fair. On one hand, it is the perfect thing to have a family bonding. On the other hand, John made Collins go to an embarrassing kiddie fair.
It's good that I couldn't talk, and it's good that I have a great poker face. Otherwise, there was no argument that this would end any way other than Collins trying to kill all of us (except Rachel) with a pout of doom and with him being eternally humiliated in the eyes of his peers. Heh. Kiddie fair. A fourteen-year-old boy in a kiddie fair filled with screaming hysterical toddlers.
This was even better than John, spoon-feeding extraordinaire.
This is good for me, too. It distracts me from my morbid little thoughts and gives me free entertainment to boot. If I wasn't bothering the brat or complaining about my life, I would find myself thinking of what-could-have-beens and looking around for Carter. I kind of miss that bastard.
Speaking of which, John was trying to coerce Collins to ride the carousel with him. People were staring at the lone teenager at the fair.
"I'm not going to ride that thing."
"It's not that bad, and Rachel often told me on how much you loved the carousel."
"That's the key word right there, 'loved'. I've grown out of that phase."
"I firmly believe your inner kid is still there."
"Stop embarrassing me."
"I'm not!"
"...I'll kill you."
"I'm just dragging you off to ride the carousel with me. God, you're bloodthirsty."
"I have a pocketknife and I'm not afraid to use it."
"Don't talk to me with that tone, young man, or I'll give you a time-out."
Hah, and they wonder why other people stayed away from us during the entire trip to the kiddie fair.
In the end, I thoroughly enjoyed my days with Carter's relatives. They weren't all that unbearable— even the brat, to some extent. In fact, they were downright funny and I guess... it's not hard to be fond of them. I can see why my owner cared in his own demented way.
Maybe living with them wouldn't be so bad.
That still doesn't change the fact that I hate the brat.
