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.

A.N. — I wish this character's drabble didn't fall on a Sunday, 'cause that's the slowest day of the week for hits. He molded Uraraka into (more of) a badass, yet doesn't get a name beyond the Battle Hero. So happy birthday, Gunhead; like your intern, you got underutilized.

Gunhead didn't need any help to be imposing. Yet his hero costume included a mask, ostensibly to stay on theme. Truth be told, Gunhead didn't want anyone to see his easy-to-read face.

Uraraka, after her internship, delighted in bursting the bubble of her mentor's image to incredulous classmates.

Who'd believe a man renowned for close combat had a skin care routine to rival most models? Or that his voice wasn't gruff, but rather cartoonish in pitch? Gatling was a fearsome quirk, and Gunhead excelled in laying down suppressing fire. But even he couldn't contain a determined, gossiping girl.

A.N. 2 — I am trying a later afternoon/early evening posting window again. One, it's to gauge if the clicks see an uptick. Two, it's in preparation for later this month, when I will have no choice but to be online later due to work.
