Hello, I just wanted to give some info on how things are. I'm going to try and update this story every week until I reach some semblance of an ending. I have a very vague idea as to what that might be but it really all depends. This is my first time writing so I would appreciate some reviews, whether they're praise or criticism. I want to turn this into SYOC so send your characters through PM, although more on that the end.
My Hero Academia: The Next Symbol
The pure, bright, orange flames were visible from pretty much everywhere in Musutafu. Horrifying sounds of screams and terror echoed down the many streets and alleyways. Somewhere in the middle of the city was a huge crater stained with crimson blood, and, amongst all the reigning chaos, the cries of agony, the roaring inferno, stood two silhouetted figures, concealed by dust. A malicious laugh came from one of the figures whilst a news helicopter hovered overhead.
"You are the last thing in my way to achieving an ideal society… symbol of peace." Declared the hovering man, still hidden.
"You… what would cause anyone to commit an atrocity like this." Replied the other figure, a determined glint appearing in his eyes. Finally, the dust cleared, leaving a colossal field of debris in its wake. The determined man stumbled, despite keeping a kind, confident smile on his face and the hovering man, still hidden, laughed villainously once again. The surrounding area was utterly devastated: destroyed buildings, crumbling statues. The remnants of the great stone sculpture of the legendary hero All-Might was in pieces, only his head remaining whole. The hovering man spoke again,
"How sad, the destroyed statue of the symbol of peace is foreshadowing what's to come. I will not fail to defeat you like All For One failed to defeat your silly father Izuku Midoriya!" The hovering man exclaimed, a cruel look in his eyes, the only things visible except his silhouette.
"How dare you!" Screamed Toshinori Midoriya,
" I was named after a symbol of peace, and I am the son of another. I have now taken up that mantle, and I will defeat you!" pronounced the Symbol of peace, Vigilantly. The pale, lean, but muscular man took a step forward. He brandished a white bodysuit that clearly defined his muscles, with black stripes lacing the arms and a place where a cape would have been tied, although he lost that cape only a short time after the battle began. He had brown hair with one long green streak across the middle. I can't lose this. If I die then society won't stand a chance. This man is on a completely different level than All For One and I only just learned to fully control One For All, and it still puts a bunch of strain on my body! The symbol of peace, Captain Power thought. The statement was true; Captain Power put immense strain on his body whenever he used his quirk, One For All at its full power. However, the bright yellow lightning still coursed swiftly through and around him, causing his skin to have a hopeful glow among the gloom and darkness. From above, the news helicopter gave updates on the situation. A young man with scruffily cut brown hair announced,
" The number one hero Captain Power is currently engaging a mysterious but devastatingly powerful villain in combat. The villains rampage beforehand caused the death of two pro heroes, Nomad and Paint Warrior. We are currently not sure of the causalities but things are starting to look bleak. We'll… con …" The man stopped, as if something was caught in his throat – and something was, it was fear. " We will continue to update on the current situation." Squeaked the news reporter. Although it had been a good few minutes since the powerhouse's last class the smoke was only now clearing on the villains side. What stood was a man, or at least what looked like a man. He had sharp smug eyes with stormy grey irises that cut with a simple glare; he had long, rather spiky dark hair and wore a long black cloak that went down to his knees. He gave off a hubristic aura that greatly annoyed Captain Power. The villain's lip and right eye had two huge scars struck across them and his general face had blood smothered all over it.
" I'll end you and build my society where everyone is equal; no one will be shut out because of their differences, all united under one all powerful leader." Said the villain nefariously.
"And don't think that just because you have that quirk One For All you'll be able to beat me" the villain continued, sniggering.
"H-How did you know?" Captain Power queried, both surprised and furious.
"I was once a part of the league of villain if you must know, even after the defeat and death of All For One and Tomura Shigaraki at the hands of your father, the knowledge of One For All remained present." The cloaked man explained,
"I knew how to recognise the quirk and its properties as well, all thanks to the league of villains. On the other hand, they were foolish and unorganized – especially without their precious leaders." The villain sneered,
"So I decided to take matters into my own hands, I offered those who I thought had potential a place in my new society and slaughtered those who defied me or who had zero potential!" He chuckled maniacally, which sent shivers down Captain power's spine. Now, the battlefield was a blank slate, an occasional piece of debris but mainly dirt and concrete, ready for the ensuing calamity.
"But what about you? You haven't spoken much yet. Do you have anything to say?"
"Who are you?"
"I don't see why it's relevant but, as it will be some of the last words you hear, my name… is Venger. Anything else?"
"Yeah."
"Well, go on then."
"You talk too much."
And with that a blinding flash of yellow light charged forward; Venger clenched his fist in response and not only did Captain Power suddenly feel much heavier, but he was also being pushed away by some sort of force.
"He must have a gravity manipulation quirk!" sputtered the Symbol of Peace, clenching his teeth and raising his broad arms to defend against the many pieces of stone bolting towards him.
"Congratulations! You finally figured it out. Now it's – "
A roar of anger cut the babbling villain off,
"SHUT UP!" Captain Power thundered and landed an incredibly powerful punch to the villain's stomach. Immediately, Venger spat out whatever was in his stomach, which included a bit of blood, and his eyes whited out. He then proceeded to go flying into a nearby building, landing with a THUD.
"Let it be over." Captain Power pleaded looking at the sky, which was beginning to spit rain. A few seconds later the villain crawled out of his hole in the wall,
"Damn it. I let my guard down… It won't happen again." Decreed Venger. He's still not down yet! No! Thought the hero. It's time to give this everything I've got.
"I'll finish this right now!" bellowed Venger as he began to hover in the air. The hero chuckled melancholically,
"Funny, I was about to the say the same thing to you"
"Increase gravity, devastating atomic push!" screamed Venger.
"PLUS ULTRA! DETROIT SMASH!" Roared the Symbol of peace in reply. As soon as the force of the attacks collided, utter chaos reigned: hurricane level winds flew as the already destroyed surrounding buildings toppled and the ground for miles shook violently. After a good few minutes, the immediate dust cleared. The news helicopter – which fled from earlier – had returned to see the outcome of the ferocious battle.
"We are about to get a visual and we can declare that the outcome is…" The man's face went as white as a ghost as a single, cold bead of sweat ran down his cheek. The villain was standing, bloody and hurt, but standing…
Over Captain Power's limp body.
So, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. It's more of a prologue/introduction to set up the events of the story; the main characters get introduced in the next few chapters.
If you want to send in your own OC for class 1A, 1B, the league of villains or any pro heroes, then send it through PM titled with your characters name and their quirk.
Make sure you give their full name, any nicknames, a (reasonably detailed) description of their appearance and their quirk. Make sure to list their quirks strengths, weaknesses and possible upgrades or super moves. Also give a description of their backstory, personality, goals, ideals and list whether you may want them to have their own personal mini-arc. Please try not to make the Quirks too overpowered as I already have the main players in mind but, depending on the character, I may accept a few, but only a few. Of course I'll be much more lenient with the pros and villains but please do keep this in mind.
Lay it out something like this:
Name:
Nickname:
Appearance:
Personality:
Goals/Ideals:
Quirk: (Quirk name)
(Quirk description)
Casual Outfit:
Attributes:
Power (How hard they can hit): /10
Speed (how quickly they can move): /10
Quirk (How powerful their quirk is): /10
Technique (How skilled they are in terms of quirk use and without quirk use): /10
Intelligence (How academic, strategic and understanding they are): /10
Keep in mind that most attributes will be somewhere around the 5 mark, for students definitely, as Captain Power has a 10 in most categories and most people in the story aren't even close to his strength. Let me show you what his attributes would look like:
Captain Power:
Power: 10/10
Speed: 10/10
Quirk: 10/10
Technique: 9/10
Intelligence: 7/10
These are top notch attributes so try to keep this in mind as well. At last, give any extra info you think might be useful and try to leave a review, thanks again.
