In a Superhuman Society

by Stonecreek

A world with quirks means its people are wind up rather quirky. Whether heroes, villains, or somewhere in-between, every BnHA character deserves to have their story told. These are but tiny 100-word snippets of their lives, told one a day, every day, in 2023. Newest chapter: Mina Ashido is a vivacious hero in training. She's equally enthusiastic about her classmates' love lives.

47. Fourth Kind

A.N. — We've got shared birthdays again today, and again I've gone with the bigger name to take the actual date for themselves. Oh, and he also shares a quite obvious connection with yesterday's character, too. So, with apologies to Kyoka's mom, happy birthday today to pro hero Fourth Kind.

47. Fourth Kind

He was the Chivalrous Hero, but Fourth Kind dressed more like a mafia boss than a knight. Part of that was the exceeding difficulty in finding armor with four arms, so he settled for a business suit instead of one made of metal. Fourth Kind still bore plenty of bling, though: one ring for each of his twenty fingers, and his distinctive jaw protector.

There was nothing noble, though, about what he used those accessories for. His fists acted like brass knuckles, and he was always eager to introduce villains to them. They upset the decorum, and that upset him.
