Hibari Kyouya
He died with his famiglia in war...when World War III happened and all of them were in their fifties. Married and had grandkids even.
Over time, Kyouya mellowed out as a man and as a person. That he learned how to socialize and care for others while still maintaining his role.
However, with all their power and technology, death is inevitable as where they were was unfortunately, war hotspot.
Omnivore ordered evacuation of civilians in their territory while fighting off foreign armies that didn't belong to Italy and Japan. All Mafia Bases had the unfortunate bad luck of being a chosen warzone by country leaders and their pissing contests.
That was the bitter truth.
With a decision made by all Famiglia Leaders, they gave the flame technology for safekeeping, and erased all information be it paper or data in computers.
That information must disappear for the greater good.
And it appears that after awakening in this three years' old body...600 years have passed since then.
That, he noted when he looked at the Calendar at three years old.
That after Dying Will Flames, Quirks were born.
The first person in the world to manifest a Quirk was a newborn baby in Qingqing City, China; the baby had the ability to emanate light from their body.
After that phenomenon, many people around the world began to manifest different kinds of superpowers.
Quirks are said to be the next stage of evolution in the human race. It is possible to diagnose a person as possessing or lacking a Quirk by analyzing the presence or absence of an extra joint in their pinky toe. People with only one joint will develop a Quirk while having two joints indicates that the person is Quirkless.
Although easy to forget, the fact is that Quirks are physical abilities. As such, they can be trained and worn out. When a person works out their muscles, the muscle fibers are destroyed and new, stronger ones grow back; this same rule applies to Quirks. However, should a Quirk be overused, the user could suffer any of a variety of drawbacks, depending on the nature of the Quirk. These drawbacks are usually simple ailments, such as dry skin or nausea; however, in some cases, the drawback can be much more severe.
There are also instances where a Quirk doesn't suit the user's body and the body can't handle it.
Quirks are inherited genetically through what appears to be Mendelian inheritance. A child will either inherit the father's Quirk, the mother's Quirk, or a new composite Quirk formed by a fusion of the two.
While the cause of the Quirk phenomenon is unknown, it has been theorized that the development of Quirks was caused by the spread of a virus carried by mice. These superpowers were first referred to as Meta Abilities before later being called Quirks.
The dawn of this extraordinary era was marred by a breakdown of society caused by the sudden onslaught of criminals empowered by their newfound superpowers and ordinary people being prejudiced against the Quirk users.
As chaos and unrest ensued due to the outbreak of Quirks, ordinary civilians with their own Quirks decided to take matters into their own hands to bring order to society and thus the first Heroes appeared in the form of Vigilantes and thus beginning the Vigilantes Era.
As society adapted to the new status quo, the Police Force moved to prioritize leadership and to maintain the status quo, and as such, decided not to use Quirks as weapons. To fill that void, the profession of crime-fighting Quirk users, Pro Heroes, began to exist which caused the Vigilantes to slowly disappear. Authorizing the use of powers that could so easily kill, however, was a greatly criticized decision at first.
Over time, it came to garner public support due to the fact that the first people to work professionally as heroes acted morally and upheld the law.
However, some members of society were not happy with the the governments' regulations on Quirk usage as they believed that the free use of their superhuman abilities should be a basic human right.
That is what he has learned. This was the first lesson he's learned from his mother after ahem, knowing how to talk. Because this was crucial knowledge for ANY CHILD before they hit four years old when their quirks will awaken.
But why was he reborn in this world? Is it just him alone?
Did this world need the Vongola again?
If so...where is everybody else...?
He is still himself, thankfully still a Cloud. Anything as long as he's not a pure mist. He has nothing against Chrome, being the small animal that she was but he DOES have a begrudging respect, but still dislikes that damn pineapple. And to his chagrin, he retained his secondary too.
Now in his current life, he is in a rather...troubled situation.
It's nice to be in a japanese-style home again.
But he awakened to a cold-hearted residence.
A residence of fear. Anxiety. And Cruelty.
His mother and siblings lived in fear, oppression, and anger.
Her husband and their father who was a known #2 Hero Endeavor was both abusive and cruel and what he says goes or else.
He controlled what happens in this household he may as well control how they breathed or died.
Food here was just as controlled. Food good for both brain, muscle, and bone. And how it should be done. If their mother cooked something else for them and he finds out just by looking at inventory alone...hell, she doesn't sleep with him anymore and sleeps in another room in the house.
He wasn't sure whose father was worse. Tsunayoshi's or this one's. Oh wait, dumb question.
He has three older siblings.
Touya and Fuyumi were fraternal twins with Touya being older. But Touya was isolated starting at the age of six, subjected to harsh training with his flame Quirk. His mother and siblings couldn't do anything out of fear, and can only help Touya recover. His young body bruised and overheated.
This isn't how a family should be.
Touya was deemed a failure when it came to light that he was indeed powerful, but inherited their mother's weak body.
That was a truth he came to know when he was three years old and Fuyumi and Natsuo were variants of Ice Quirks, thus labelled failures and ignored by Endeavor.
So while Endeavor anticipated his fourth birthday, everyone else did not, in fear if he was 'jackpot', he would suffer like Touya did.
This fear and anger, was cloying in this household.
He can't stand it.
When he turned four come January 11, his mother and siblings behaved as if today's the day he'll die.
'I'll have to be informed if Shoto manifests his quirk.' Endeavor said coldly over breakfast.
Nobody said a word.
He wants power, eh? Ohhh he'll damn get it.
He awakened this morning to ice and fire powers in each half of his body and in appropriate halves too.
Starting by mixing his flames with his ice as soon as breakfast was done, and turned their whole house into Ice World and even froze Endeavor alone.
'S-Shoto...' his mother squeaked as his older siblings gawked, wide-eyed.
'Eek!' Fuyumi slipped and fell on her butt.
'Hang onto something, you'll slip!' Touya sputtered as he helped up his twin. Natsuo was hanging onto the table despite feeling cold.
'I-it's just ice right? Right?' Rei asked him hopefully. 'PLEASE not any more surprises!'
'And what? He will drag you to your room and force you to pop out a kid that's hopefully jackpot?' said Shoto coldly. 'That's marital rape.'
'Where did you even learn that?!' Rei who was in shock, slumped onto the icy floor as that was her bitter reality.
'In a book.' Shoto lied. 'This is wrong.'
'I know but we're powerless...what power do we have, compared to Enji's? He has influence and connections, we can't run even if we tried.' Rei sniffled despairingly as they heard a 'crrrrk'.
They turned to see the iced man who was slowly melting his way out. Shoto reinforced the ice some more.
'Mom, get the others out of here. I didn't freeze your rooms.' said Shoto. 'Pack what you can. Now!'
'But what about you?!' Natsuo cried. 'We can't leave you here!'
'I'll buy you time by keeping him cold! Move it!' Shoto snapped impatiently. 'Pack important documents, IDs, Money, and a few clothes. Things we need to get out faster.'
'Move it!' Touya cried as Shoto...melted the floor and to their horror, he was Quirk Jackpot.
He's a Dual-Quirk!
They scrambled to get packing.
Took an hour, too.
'Shoto, we gotta go.' said Fuyumi. 'Mom's got your stuff too.'
'Mm. Get out of the house, I have something extra.' Shoto grinned ferally. 'Meet me outside.' reluctantly, they all left and when he was sure they're all out...
...the whole Todoroki Residence became an ice cube, quite literally. But more ice happened to become a gigantic spiky ice ball! With a nice hedgehog on top as his calling card.
'H-holy crap...' Natsuo shook as the whole family was dumbfounded.
'Let's go.' said Shoto. 'If I only show I have ice, mom's in for it. I solely showed ice because none of you wanted me to be abused too when in reality I have more than fire and ice. He'll burn his way out soon, run!'
They ran for the nearest bus stop to flee...
'That ice won't be much help, he'll melt his way through.' said Fuyumi fearfully. 'And is this gonna be OK?!'
'Think about mom Fuyumi! I dunno what Marital Rape is but it's gotta be bad for mom if Shoto's a dud!' Touya griped. 'What is that, even?!'
Rei dreaded this.
'You'll know when we get to safety soon...'
Shoto then used his Mist Flames to do the rest, so he and his family can live. Needs a lot of memory modifying he never dreamed he'd be thankful for Mist Flames.
The names were changed too, and their hair dyed to black.
They took on the name Hibari and lived in a nice house enough for four people.
But Rei had to sneak back in to their old city with Shoto because they had to transfer out Touya, Fuyumi and Natsuo out of their current school before life moved on for them.

/We bring this news that neighbors of the Todoroki Family reported this huge ice construct trapping their house.../
For seven other people in their respective homes, they all did a face-palm.
'Ahahaha, that's a little...extreme?'
'That idiot!'
'Yare yare...'
'EXTREME ARCHITECTURE HIBARI!'
'Why on earth did he do that?!'
'...'
'Kufufufu...so he's here too...'
