In a Superhuman Society

by Stonecreek

A world with quirks means its people are going to be 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: Nobu is a petty villain — he's small-time, and also willing to hold a grudge for how he's perceived.

284. Nobu

A.N. — This guy's partner was long ago, but he only now gets his turn. That's what happens when he's one of the last characters placed in my outline. He's one of the more odd-looking folks in the series... which is saying something.

284. Nobu

Nobu wasn't willing to stick his elongated neck out for anyone.

Well used to everyone flinching away at his mere looks, Nobu became surly and short-tempered, his narrow eyes always on the lookout for a fight. Wolfram's operation on I-Island promised a chance to intimidate innocent bystanders instead of having them leer at him, so he signed up.

Outfitted in tactical combat gear, the features that usually singled out Nobu as "other" instead just added to the threat level he posed. Society had decided to set him apart; he'd use his displacement quirk to reciprocate in kind, with interest.
