The one and only:
My name is Murasami Miyo, but I’m known more by my alias, Taiyō. I am a sixteen year old transman (he/they). I am a member of the League of Villains and eventually a commander of the Paranormal Liberation Front. Though I align myself with villain organizations, I identify more with the label Anti-Hero and refuse to partake in missions that go against my morals. I am often seen stepping in and helping heroes, having no qualms for which side they’re on, and only that I am doing what I think is right.

The backstory - overview:
Born to a father whose only concern was power and money. Before I was even born, I was arranged to marry my father’s close friend’s son, Touya. The two of us and my best friend Keigo were all placed into a special program called the Heroic Prodigy Program at a young age where we became inseparable. It was run by the Hero Public Safety Commission. I would spend my weeks with them and my weekends at the Todoroki household being prepared to be a wife. Years passed mostly uneventful before my family tragically died in a villain attack when I was ten. Then two years later, I was kidnapped by a quirk testing and development team. I later find out the whole thing had been orchestrated Enji to get rid of me out of fear that I would turn on him. I spent three years in a laboratory where they tested the human bodies ability to hold multiple quirks. I was a freak of nature and had been given 25+ quirks before I finally escaped while all their other subjects could hardly handle three. Upon escaping, I was lost and had no one to turn to. Touya was dead and Keigo was no where to be found and assumably dead as well. But then someone found me, and took me under his wing. The stranger, Tashima, gave me a roof, food, clothes, and cared for me when no one else did. I soon find out that Keigo was alive, but was now a hero. I knew I couldn’t return to him because the commission would not only kill me, but kill him. So instead I turned to the underground and made connections under a new name, Taiyō. I tried to live my life, but no matter how hard I tried, my eyes were always watching “Hawks”.

The quirks:
With so many quirks, it’s hard to keep track of each one. Many blur into a singular quirk, others I don’t even know about. Here are the ones I do:
Fuse - my original quirk. It allows the user to turn anything into a bomb that will go off in a specific amount of time set by the user. A fuse is marked by a little animated flame. The bigger the object, the bigger the explosion, and the more stamina needed. Multiple fuses can be created at once but they will all explode at the same time. Downsides is fatigue from the draining of stamina.
Decay - originally my brother’s quirk but it was stolen from him before it was ever given the chance to appear so he was assumed quirkless. It allows the user to decay anything and when trained, it can extend to objects the user is not even touching. Overuse causes dry skin. (Yes it’s the same as Tomura’s. There is lore behind this that I will get into in another post)
Transfer - a quirk gained in the labs. This quirk allows the users to transfer a quirk between two people for a set amount of time. After that time is over, it switches back to the previous owner. However, there are two possible loopholes to make the transfer permanent. If the original owner of the quirk is killed while the quirk is with somebody else, the quirk will remain with the new person. The second loophole happens when the user transfers Transfer itself to somebody else after transferring another quirk. When this happens, the quirk remains with the new person, even after Transfer is given back to the original owner. Transfers take energy from the user and overuse can cause extreme exhaustion.
Lifeline - a quirk gained in the labs. This quirk is activated when the user is dying. It pauses all bodily functions and puts the user in an unconscious state. Almost like they’re frozen in time. The effect lasts two hours and in this time, surgery can be performed to attempt to save the user. Once the effect is over, the body starts functioning again as if no time had passed and the user has no recollection of what has happened.
Glitch - a quirk gained in the labs. It allows the user to take control over a persons nervous system and other bodily functions (such as urinary, respiratory, etc.) and “glitch” things and people similar to Mirio’s permeation. This quirk is extremely powerful but has extreme disadvantages. Using the quirk causes extreme pain to both the user and the person the user is using it on. Overuse can lead to differing levels of “glitching” which can range from their appearance seeming laggy (think Vanellope from Wreck-It Ralph) to falling through things. “Glitches” are painful and the pain cannot be avoided.
Blur - a quirk gained in the labs. This quirk allows the user to make themselves and others unrecognizable without changing their appearances. This is only bypassed if someone is looking at them specifically and asking if they are them. Blur takes mental strain and stamina to maintain. The more people, the harder it is but the only limit is themselves and their capabilities.
Venom - a quirk gained in the labs. This quirk allows the user to consume and store any venom, poison, toxin, etc. in their body and store it until they are ready to eject it. It can be ejected through the fangs that accompany the quirk or through the skin. Though the effects of the substances are dulled, they are still there and taking too much at once can be deadly. The user can train to hold more but it takes practice, patience and a strong will for the side effects.
Teleportation - a quirk gained in the labs. This quirk allows the user to instantly teleport to anywhere they can see with their naked eyes. There are no limits to how many times or how consecutively it can be used. The downside is it will take the same amount of energy and stamina as if they had walked the same distance. (Teleporting one mile would have the same effects as walking one mile physical wise)

The family:
Sperm donor
Murasami Kazuya is a liar, abuser, and manipulator. Murasami is not even his true family name, Shimura is. Kazuya turned bitter and ditched the name after his mother, Nana, ditched him and his brother when they were kids. Fuck this guy.
Mother
Murasami Mai, once known as Mai Beausoleil, is a deer and angel in disguise, the eighth wielder of All for All, and renowned vigilante Spirit. After fleeing France when she was fourteen, she met and fell in love with the beautiful Himura Rei. However, she was forced into a marriage with Kazuya and birthed four children, all of which were her light in her darkest times.
Brother
Yagi Shikoko, formerly known as Murasami Taeko, is the nineth wielder of All for All, and was a known vigilante called Ghost but has since hung up the title and joined the hero course at U.A. Growing up, he was at the brunt of Kazuya’s abuse and peculiar obsession. He was the true original owner of Decay which was stolen from him in childhood, leading to him being assumed quirkless. However, he received a new quirk passed down to him from Mai in her final moments. Since then he has dedicated his every breath to helping the world and trying to change the system he knew was rotted.
Sibling
Murasami Yōko is a pillar. Not even a Murasami by blood, she is the oldest child of Mai. They had been cast aside by Kazuya, seen as unimportant since they were not his. She took care of their siblings and became something they all could rely on. After being forced to ditch their old life following the villain attack her and her family “supposedly” died in, she began to blossom into a wonderful and fun person.
Sister
Murasami Miaka is the lucky one. She had been too young when the attack that forced the Murasami children to fake their deaths to remember anything about before. She is the youngest of the family and is spoiled by her two older siblings.
Cousin
Shigaraki Tomura, true and forgotten name Shimura Tenko, is a force. Once a quirkless child was cursed with a copy of his cousins quirk Decay. At age five, he slaughtered his entire family and was picked up by All for One. He forgot his name, forgot his family, forgot his story, and forgot himself. He is a groomed child deceived into thinking he is blessed.

The Lovers:
The Boy of Flames
Todoroki Touya, the eldest son of Todoroki Enji. He cannot be stopped and he burns of hatred and guilt. After his tragic “death” at age fourteen, he took on the name Dabi and steamed down the path of destruction. Revenge is all he’s after.
The Boy of Feathers
Takami Keigo, known as Hawks: The Winged Hero. He cannot be slowed and runs on a shattered heart. Debuting on his fifteenth birthday, days after losing his remaining best friend, he soon soared in the charts. The past is all he’s after.

The future - an overview:
Floating through the days and stuck in the past, I never expected to have things change so suddenly. Meeting Dabi felt like waking up. Being given a reason to reach out to Keigo again was like being plunged into cold water. Running into my thought to be dead father was like being pushed off the edge of a cliff overlooking nothing. Finding my brother alive and well was like the rain finally letting up. Learning Dabi’s true identity was like my heart finally starting to beat again after years of dormancy.
My life had been renewed and given a purpose again. No longer did I need to simply sit back and watch. No longer just waiting for Keigo to need me. No longer would I put off the change I knew the world needed. No longer was I a dead man in a living man’s body.
When spring came, the snowball kept rolling. March was the month in which I laid myself out to the world. March was the month in which me and Touya’s stories were used as means of victory. March was the month in which Keigo and our families learned the truth. March was the month in which my cousin woke, no longer himself. March was the start of the war. April was the month in which we started planning our resistance. April was the month in which we became fathers. April was the month in which I was forced to fight my blood and my past. April was the month in which we risked it all, and won it all. April was the month in which we saved society, the world, and most importantly, ourselves.
