Canon Point: End of ch. 195

Background: Over Here!

Personality:

“Not all men are not born equal”

Everyone has to start from the bottom and work their way up.

That’s exactly what it was for Izuku. He was an earnest kid full of smiles who wished to be a hero and idolizing the Symbol of Peace, All Might. His desire to be a hero was strong and he looked up to his best friend, Bakugou Katsuki and trailed after him while saying he was jealous of how awesome and amazing his quirk was. It was incredible that his spirit didn’t completely crush down underneath the knowledge of being told he was quirkless and would never gain one, but Izuku’s will and desire to be a hero never faltered even once.

Through the years, he proved that he’s strong-willed and kept going.

He’s incredibly resilient, holding a strong perseverance in the face of bullying and always able to wear a smile at the end of the day. Through his hardships growing up, Izuku’s managed to come out being someone who has an incredibly analytical mind, able to think up complex plans in the span of a few short moments and use everything he’s learned in his favor. Including being able to use knowledge of his allies’ quirks to put his plans into actions. Only something he achieved through this habit of his in which he writes down notes on all the heroes, their quirks and possible weaknesses. He’s a hardworking young man with his morals and idealogies formed through his love and admiration for heroes; namely All Might.

At times he can also tend to be timid, nervous and shy. Not to mention easily embarrassed and highly emotional depending on the situation. He’s also very polite and well-mannered, and since his acceptance into U.A, has not only managed to gain many more friends, but has become a much more confident and brave person as well. Someone who’s able to act in order to try and rescue others, even if it’s a bit reckless and puts himself in the line of danger and has pushed himself more than once to his body’s limits in doing so. He’s passionate, loyal and wants to see others around him be happy and be able to smile, no matter the circumstances or situation.

Something that essentially comes down to saying that Izuku is someone who also holds an impossibly kind heart and cares a lot for others, to the point where he’ll selflessly concern himself with the personal, emotional struggles of those around him. Even if it doesn’t concern him. Though in his eyes it’s what a hero does; meddling in the lives of others.

He doesn’t give up easily in these cases and his perseverance and strength within his heroic spirit has changed the minds of others who had viewed him negatively. Gaining him respect and loyalty at the same time, but it never once goes to his head and he always keeps his head up and looking towards his goals. The main one being that he intends to prove that he’s a worthy successor to the power of One for All and show that All Might wasn’t wrong in choosing him, desiring the chance to show his idol - and mentor - that he’ll be able to soon stand strong and proclaim “I am Here!” just like All Might did. Even if the pressure of becoming even someone remotely similar to the world’s former Number One Hero can seem daunting, he refuses to stop or back down until he can achieve it.

The man has been not only his idol but someone who molded his very way of thinking and beliefs around him, and extends down to most decisions he makes on his path of becoming a hero.

Another in his life he seems to take a lot from is his best friend Bakugou, who he always looked up to and saw him as someone strong with a drive for victory. To Izuku, Bakugou was amazing and incredibly talented, to the point he uses a lot of his moves in fights or what he does and has even gained something of a brash, abrasive side to him that flourishes when he’s in the middle of combat. He’s not really fond of that half of him so he tries to control it the best he can. Though it is because of how he feels toward Bakugou, that he was able to look past all those years of bullying from the other boy and continued to see him as an incredible person.

Only recently did the two of them come to blows once again, but this time Izuku wasn’t going to just be Bakugou’s punching bag like he was the first time. They were almost evenly matched but in the end it was Bakugou who won and revealed all those pent up feelings inside that Izuku hadn’t even been aware of, and lead to them being able to be more of proper rivals. Even to the point where Bakugou gave Izuku advice on how to change something in his fighting style for the better.

He’s a boy who’s able to stand strong but has his drawbacks from time to time, even if it’s just his tendency to overthink a situation and mumble aloud or his extremely apparent adoration for All Might. Not to mention incredibly shy around girls and unable to stop from babbling off about things from time to time. It could also be seen as a near weakness; the way he doesn’t seem like the type of guy who can hate others and sees the good in others, bordering on self doubt regarding himself. Even blaming himself for not being able to save people. Such as when he couldn’t prevent Bakugou’s capture by the League of Villains and sinking into a small depression because of it, or even letting that doubt about being given this power extend into wishing to give it to Mirio Togata when he lost his quirk during the Eri rescue arc. Believing for a moment that he wasn’t worthy of having it right then, but then again, he’s only just a boy and still going through a lot of ordeals that’s shaping him into the hero he’ll be in the future.

Overall? He’s come a long way from who he used to be as a kid and has learnt how to stand tall, willing to do what he can to protect his friends and family however he can. His dream is so close now, having obtained his provisional hero license and being one step closer to achieving what he’s wanted since being a small, quirkless boy on the verge of completely breaking.


Abilities:


Quirk: One For All

First and Foremost, the thing to note about this is that he has an exceptionally strong quirk - power - handed to him by All Might. It gives him access to essentially a stockpiled power that’s only grown stronger with each user it’s been passed onto. This grants him super strength, heightened agility and speed. The power is so immense that he cannot use more than 20% of it at one time or it will damage/break his body, but he has only reached that percentage during the recent U.A Cultural Festival.

---> OFA Abilities

Delaware Smash -- Using his quirk, Izuku can flick one of his fingers and it creates a powerful wind pressure shock wave that’s strong enough to break large chunks of ice. Doing this uses 100% of One For All and it fractures his fingers, so he can only do it up to ten times before gravely injuring himself.

Full Cowling -- Through thorough training, Izuku has learned how to utilize his power throughout his body and has him able to use a higher percentage of his quirk than he could originally use. It gives him greater maneuverability in battle and prevents his bones from breaking this time, along with a faster reaction time.

-- 5% Detroit Smash : A move utilized by activating Full Cowl, then delivered in a downward punch but has been done as a straightforwards one too.

-- Delaware Smash Air Force : Only achieved through using his newly made gloves Mei Hatsume created for him, he can create blasts of compressed air to send out against his enemies that have enough power to stun them. Using all five fingers, he can send out up to four blasts.

-- One For All: Shoot Style -- : While Full Cowl is in use, he’s adopted a fighting style that focuses more around his legs and kicking. He focuses his quirk mostly in his legs and torso instead of his arms, which allows him to put out more power due to that the muscles in human legs are naturally stronger than the ones in the arms. Something that allows him to have a style that’s more his own rather than All Might’s.

-- OFA: St. Louis Smash -- : Using his shoot style, Izuku leaps into the air, swings around and delivers a roundhouse kick that can be used to incapacitate others.

He’s only successfully managed to use his quirk at 100% power without damage and that was during the fight vs. Chisaki and was utilizing Eri’s quirk, which had her rewinding the damage caused by his quirk continuously. Currently he can use about 20% which gives him a higher damage output and quicker reflexes but the strain on his body is heightened, causing him pain and feeling like his bones are about to break on him.

Otherwise the only time he’s used full power was during his fight against Shouto Todoroki during the Sports Festival and caused his limbs to break whenever he used it, as well as his fight against Muscular in the Training Camp arc which he overdid it and created the scars on his arms after being healed up.

That latter move being him using a move called 1,000,000% Delaware Detroit Smash and was strong enough that he launched the augmented enemy with a force strong enough to make a small crater in solid rock.

Overall Abilities

When he isn’t using his quirk, Izuku relies on hand-to-hand combat and has decent prowess and higher than average physical capabilities. This was in part to the 10 months of hard physical training he put himself through in able to have his body be capable of withstanding All Might’s Quirk. He’s gotten better in his fighting to the point of being able to now come out of a fight with only moderate injuries instead of severe ones.

-- Intellect --

More than once he’s proven that he’s incredibly smart, able to think on his feet and holds a high level of observational skills as well as adept intuition and resourcefulness. He’s able to utilize his friends’ strengths in battle to their fullest, and has extensive knowledge on Pro Heroes. He keeps a notebook of them as well as his classmates, along with their quirks and what they can do.

Essentially his intellect and analytical skills allowed him to be able to figure out how to utilize his quirk better, as well as the fact that he’s been shown to think before he acts. Izuku has also ranked 4th in his class academically, showing his training isn’t really impeding his grades all that much.

As a smaller note, he has been shown to have a high pain tolerance, likely going hand in hand with the repercussions of using his quirk at the start. Something shown during his fight against the villain, Muscular as well as against Katsuki. Pushing himself to move and run around with broken, torn up arms as an example of this tolerance.


Alignment: Thras

I’m choosing this particular one because Izuku has experienced a lot of it in his life and he still does. He fears losing his friends, his family and not being strong enough to protect those he cares for, but has a strong sense of bravery and a good heart in him that has helped him save others who need help.
