MHA: Black Swan - Sparks Beyond The Depths (SYOC open!) Chapter 1: Guide - Black Swan - Sparks Beyond, a my hero academia/僕のヒーローアカデミア fanfic

My Hero Academia: Black Swan - Sparks Beyond the depths

March 31st Update - Syoc still open for ocs! We're looking mainly for female heroes ocs as well as villains of all gender. The Deadline has been decided for hero ocs as of May 18th. villain deadline is undecided.

...

Decades before All Might was born, humans were just humans and quirks were only apart of the distant future. Although, the future wasn't as distant as they believed and suddenly, the monsters known as quirkusers came into existence, rearing their heads into a broken society of fear and evil.

This is the story of the first quirk users and their introduction into a shattered world relentlessly seeking acceptance and a place in society. Quirk users must linger in the shadows, keeping their true powers a secret or face being put in the category of villainous monster by quirkless humanity due to the evil that now inhabits Japan.

Evil organizations of quirk users, desperate for sanctuary or thriving for power alike bloom in stains across the country, just as innocent quirk users strive to blend into a world that doesn't want them. The fine lines between heroes and villains that are blurred by prejudice as a group of teens try to rescue the unforgiving world from destruction, from not only other quirk users but humans alike as underground heroes.

Black Swan - the exclusive underground organization recruiting those with quirks and providing sanctuary and order to the chaos is the only hope these heroes have to change the world.

A/N - Hi all! I wanted to go for something really dark and different from most of the lighthearted fics on this site. I want to challenge myself by going down a realistic and harsh path.

This fic takes place YEARS before All Might is born and the first quirks are just now popping into the world so only a small percentage of humans have quirks. These quirk users are treated as monsters that infect society. There aren't any heroes, except for police, so I won't be accepting pros. Keep in mind the dark nature of this fic if you're going to submit a character.

Thanks for giving this fic a chance and for any submissions I might receive.

Mochi out!

Ocs Needs: This fic will revolve around a group of teens as underground heroes in Black Swan, as well as villains and quirkless humanity. I'm looking for a minimum of 10-16 heroes (preferably in their teens or so), and about as many or more villain OCs. Most 'good/hero' OCs must keep their identities secret, unlike in the original My Hero Academia or face persecution by actively being sought out by quirkless law enforcement.

Warnings: This story is rated M for description of extremely dark themes such as death, murder, gore, language, sexual content, underaged concepts, and more.

BANNED QUIRKS: All for One or One for All, no stealing quirks or combination quirks (such as having more than one ability). If your quirk is element related then stick to one element. Anything too similar to one of the main characters quirks is a big NO.

Rules! -

1. I'll only accept ocs sent through PM. Please title your PM Subject as: (Your character's name, hero/villain, hero/villain name, and quirk.) DO NOT USE ANY OTHER FORM EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE.

2. Please review as often as possible so I know you're still involved. Also, to keep up with updates, please put this story on your follows.

3. This isn't first come, first serve. I don't do spot reservations, but I plan on giving everyone plenty of time to submit.

4. No Mary-Sues please! Real people have flaws, so this should also apply to your OC. Think of the canon characters and what makes them realistic and apply this concept to your character.

5. NO INCOMPLETE FORMS! Only send your form once you've finished. If you are worried about your quirk, personality, or idea you have for your OC then PM me, I'm happy to help, but don't just send me an incomplete form and ask me to check it. Again, this isn't first come first serve.

6. You may submit more than one oc, but make sure to send them in separate PM threads.

7. No gods, goddesses, characters from other realms or series. (PM me if you have questions or need me to check your idea.)

8. Last but not least, when submitting a character that has previously been used or accepted to another story, you must ask me first. Try to stay away from using the same OC. I will ask you to change your form up, but honestly I prefer OCs who haven't been used yet.
