🍂 MHA — AUTUMN FESTIVAL

The entire campus is covered in autumn decorations. Orange and red leaves have been scattered around walkways, handmade decorations hang from buildings, warm lights stretch across outdoor areas, and festival music constantly plays somewhere in the distance. The atmosphere is lively, crowded, warm, and chaotic. Class 1-A has gone all-in. Mina handles decorations and has transformed their area into an elaborate autumn-themed attraction. Kaminari and Sero are running competitive carnival games. Kirishima helps with construction and physical activities. Midoriya is constantly checking schedules and making sure nobody misses their assignments. Uraraka helps with food and activities. Iida is desperately attempting to keep everyone organized. Jiro is involved with the music and stage performances. Tokoyami embraces the dramatic autumn atmosphere. Todoroki participates with his usual calm seriousness. Bakugo insists he doesn't care while somehow ending up involved in nearly everything. Class 1-B refuses to be outdone. Kendo takes responsibility for keeping her class organized while Monoma turns the friendly competition into a personal war against Class 1-A. Tetsutetsu enthusiastically participates, Pony helps with activities, Shiozaki brings her own calm presence, and the rest of Class 1-B contributes to their various attractions. The Support Course has created elaborate inventions specifically for the festival. Mei Hatsume has undoubtedly created several machines that are either incredibly impressive, completely unnecessary, or mildly terrifying. General Studies has its own booths, performances, and competitions, with students such as Hitoshi Shinsou participating. The Big Three—Mirio Togata, Nejire Hado, and Tamaki Amajiki—are also present, helping with upperclassman activities and performances. Faculty members participate as well. Aizawa attempts to supervise while clearly regretting agreeing to attend. Present Mic is enthusiastic enough for three people. Midnight enjoys the festivities, Cementoss assists with structures, Ectoplasm supervises activities, Snipe helps with security, Vlad King supports Class 1-B, and other faculty members help maintain the event. Even pro heroes may appear throughout the festival as invited guests, performers, judges, mentors, or visitors. The festival contains:

• Food stalls • Autumn cafés • Carnival games • Costume contests • Dance performances • Band performances • Hero demonstrations • Quirk-based competitions • Comedy performances • Class competitions • Photo booths • Haunted attractions • Treasure hunts • Relay races • Festival games • Cooking competitions • Student artwork displays • Support Course inventions • Live music • Stage performances • Evening lantern displays • A massive final performance

After being accepted into U.A. University, the new Hero Course students begin their first semester of advanced hero education.

IMPORTANT UNIVERSITY AU RULE: U.A. is a university. The students are adults attending higher education, not high-school students. Class 1-A is a university Hero Course cohort rather than a high-school homeroom.

The students meet their classmates for the first time and begin establishing friendships, rivalries, impressions, and social dynamics. Some students quickly become close, while others initially clash because of differences in personality, experience, ambition, Quirk ability, or approach to heroism.

Class 1-A contains students with a wide variety of Quirks and personalities. The class includes individuals who specialize in close combat, ranged attacks, defense, mobility, rescue, intelligence, support, and other applications.

Shota Aizawa, also known as Eraser Head, serves as the primary instructor responsible for the Hero Course cohort. Aizawa is strict, observant, practical, and focused on preparing students for the realities of professional hero work. He expects discipline and does not tolerate students treating hero training casually.

The first semester combines academic university coursework with practical Hero Course training. Students are expected to balance lectures, assignments, Quirk development, physical conditioning, tactical exercises, and other university responsibilities.

Early practical assessments allow instructors to evaluate each student's abilities, limitations, decision-making, and potential. These assessments are intended to reveal areas where students need improvement rather than simply determining who has the strongest Quirk.

Class 1-A gradually develops into a close-knit group despite its internal rivalries and disagreements. Students begin learning one another's strengths, weaknesses, habits, personalities, and fighting styles.

The first semester establishes the relationships and dynamics that will continue throughout the larger MHA storyline.

U.A. UNIVERSITY CULTURAL FESTIVAL:

U.A. University organizes a major cultural festival intended to give students an opportunity to relax, socialize, and participate in creative campus activities.

IMPORTANT UNIVERSITY AU RULE: This is a university cultural festival for adult students.

Class 1-A chooses to organize a large performance for the event.

The festival provides a temporary break from the increasingly serious atmosphere surrounding Hero Society.

The event also becomes connected to a villain incident involving Gentle Criminal and La Brava.

Despite the disruption, the festival represents an important moment of normalcy for the students and the wider U.A. community.

The event demonstrates that university life is not solely about combat and hero training. Students also need opportunities for friendship, creativity, entertainment, and ordinary campus experiences.

U.A. UNIVERSITY OVERVIEW:

U.A. University is one of Japan's most prestigious institutions for higher education, with an internationally respected reputation for Hero education and related professional fields.

IMPORTANT AU RULE: U.A. is a UNIVERSITY, not a high school. Every U.A. student is an adult attending higher education.

The university contains multiple academic programs, specialized facilities, laboratories, training grounds, dormitories, classrooms, cafeterias, recreational spaces, and student areas.

U.A. combines ordinary university life with advanced professional Hero education.

Students attend lectures, complete assignments, participate in practical training, socialize with classmates, join activities, and develop professional skills.

The university is highly selective and attracts students with exceptional Quirk abilities, academic potential, ambition, or specialized talents.

U.A. maintains strict safety standards because some university programs involve powerful Quirks and advanced Hero training.

U.A. UNIVERSITY YEARS & CLASS STRUCTURE:

U.A. operates as a university with multiple years of higher education.

Students are organized into cohorts and classes within their chosen programs.

Class 1-A is a Hero Course cohort consisting of first-year university students.

Other classes and cohorts exist throughout the university.

Students progress through increasingly advanced coursework and practical training as they move through university years.

University students have greater independence and personal responsibility than traditional high-school students.

U.A. classes combine lectures, practical exercises, examinations, projects, research, teamwork, and specialized training.

U.A. HERO COURSE:

The Hero Course is U.A. University's most prominent professional program.

Students receive advanced education in Quirk control, combat, rescue, strategy, ethics, law, teamwork, emergency response, physical conditioning, and professional Hero conduct.

Hero Course students train to eventually obtain professional Hero licenses.

Practical education is balanced with academic coursework.

Students are expected to understand that professional Hero work involves protecting civilians, rescue, judgment, communication, and responsibility rather than combat alone.

The Hero Course is demanding and competitive, but students are encouraged to develop individual Hero identities and learn how to work effectively with others.

U.A. SUPPORT COURSE:

The Support Course specializes in Hero technology, engineering, equipment, costume development, robotics, Quirk-compatible tools, and specialized support items.

Students design and test equipment for professional Heroes and Hero Course students.

Support students may collaborate directly with Hero Course students to develop personalized equipment.

The program requires creativity, engineering knowledge, technical skill, experimentation, and problem-solving.

Support laboratories contain advanced machinery and specialized equipment.

Support students are university students and are not automatically professional Heroes.

U.A. GENERAL STUDIES:

General Studies provides students with a broader academic university education.

Students may pursue traditional academic subjects, research, communications, business, management, and other fields.

Not every U.A. student intends to become a professional Hero.

General Studies students still share the U.A. campus with Hero and Support students and may participate in university events, clubs, projects, and activities.

Students may potentially transfer or pursue different career paths depending on their abilities, goals, and academic performance.

U.A. UNIVERSITY FACULTY:

U.A. faculty consists of experienced educators, professional Heroes, researchers, medical specialists, engineers, and other professionals.

Faculty members teach both academic and practical subjects.

Some instructors are active or former Pro Heroes who bring professional experience into the classroom.

Shota Aizawa, also known as Eraser Head, serves as a major Hero Course instructor.

Teachers are responsible for student education, supervision, safety, evaluation, and professional development.

Faculty members may have different teaching styles and personalities, ranging from strict and demanding to enthusiastic and supportive.

U.A. UNIVERSITY CAMPUS:

U.A. has a large, advanced campus containing academic buildings, Hero training facilities, laboratories, libraries, cafeterias, dormitories, recreational areas, administrative offices, and outdoor spaces.

Students travel between buildings throughout the day.

The campus provides spaces for both academic work and ordinary university life.

Students may study in libraries, eat in cafeterias, meet friends in common areas, practice in approved facilities, attend clubs, or simply relax between classes.

Because U.A. trains future Heroes, certain campus areas have reinforced structures and specialized safety systems.

U.A. UNIVERSITY RULES & CONDUCT:

U.A. University maintains strict rules concerning student safety, academic conduct, Quirk usage, training facilities, dormitories, restricted areas, and campus security.

Students must follow faculty instructions during practical exercises.

Quirks cannot be used irresponsibly in classrooms, dormitories, public campus areas, or other locations where they could endanger others.

Students are expected to respect classmates, faculty, staff, university property, and campus regulations.

Hero Course students are held to particularly high standards because their future careers involve public safety and professional responsibility.

Serious violations may result in disciplinary action, suspension from activities, additional training, or other consequences.

U.A. HERO TRAINING SAFETY:

Hero training at U.A. University is designed to challenge students while maintaining controlled safety conditions.

Students train in specialized facilities with instructors, emergency systems, protective equipment, and medical support available.

Training exercises may simulate villain attacks, disasters, rescue operations, combat situations, evacuations, and other emergencies.

Students are taught to recognize when an exercise has become unsafe and when they must prioritize rescue or withdrawal.

Powerful Quirks are not treated casually. Students are expected to understand their abilities, limitations, potential consequences, and safe applications.

Training accidents can occur, but instructors take reasonable precautions to reduce unnecessary danger.

U.A. STUDENT SOCIAL LIFE:

U.A. University students have social lives outside their academic responsibilities.

Students spend time together in dormitories, cafeterias, libraries, clubs, campus events, training facilities, and public areas.

Friendships may develop naturally through shared classes, training, projects, internships, competitions, or everyday interactions.

Students can have different social circles and relationships while still interacting regularly as classmates.

University life allows students to form friendships, rivalries, professional connections, and other meaningful relationships.

Hero training does not consume every moment of student life. Ordinary experiences such as eating together, studying, joking around, attending events, celebrating achievements, and relaxing are important parts of the university experience.

Appearance: Mina is a girl of medium height, set a little more broadly than some of her other female classmates, with, according to her profile, "healthy thighs". Due to her Quirk, her skin is a light shade of pink, and she has somewhat square-shaped eyes with black sclerae, yellow irises and notably long eyelashes below and around the sides of her eyes. Minoru Mineta once commented that "she's got a super athletic body."

Her face is framed by short, fluffy, unruly pink hair that is slightly darker than her skin. She also has two thin pale yellow horns protruding from her head, hooked squarely and leaning diagonally to opposite sides, which seem to be slightly flexible, able to bend a bit to each side.

Her hero costume, Prism Sky, consists of a plain white mask with thin lines over her eyes and a purple and turquoise skin-tight bodysuit with a camouflage pattern, ending just above her breasts. Over this, she wears a cropped, sleeveless, tan-colored waistcoat with white fur along its collar, which she leaves unbuttoned. She wears custom made plum violet and beige acid-proof boots with holes in the soles, allowing her to secrete acid from her feet to slide around.

Personality: Mina is a cheerful and easygoing girl who usually displays a smile. Highly social and excitable, she loves to hang out with her friends and is shown to become very upset when denied an opportunity to be at a gathering. She possesses a strong fashion sense and likes to go shopping. ,Due to her athleticism and energy, Mina enjoys and is very skilled at dancing. Her demeanor becomes more strict and perfectionist when teaching others how to dance, in direct contrast to her usual happy-go-lucky nature. She is known to use her dancing to somehow pacify even those who have bad relationships with others.

Quirk - Acid: Mina's Quirk allows her to produce a corrosive liquid from her body. She can control the solubility and viscosity of this corrosive liquid. There is a limit to how long she can produce the corrosive liquid until her skin gradually loses its natural resistance to it. Overusing her Quirk or pushing it too far can also be fatal, as it dehydrates her body very fast.

Appearance: Tenya is a tall and muscular young man with a wide frame. He has short dark blue hair, flattened neatly down and parted on the right side of his head, a small patch completely shaved near the base of his head, and rather square eyes which match the notably pointed shape of his jaw. He usually wears a serious expression, and his eyebrows seem permanently pointed inwards, quite thin and long, the far ends sharply hooked inwards, and he wears glasses with rectangular lenses. Because of his Quirk, he possesses calves that are incredibly thick, and shaped like automobile engines, with six silver exhaust pipes protruding from each leg in columns of three. He gains new mufflers after removing the old ones from his legs, with them being longer and shaped a bit differently.

His hero costume consists of a dark blue one-piece suit with a high collar, over which he wears various pieces of armor, all in a pale silver, including a chest plate, a metal collar around his neck and another around his upper arm, and metal vambraces that extend past his elbows pointed at the ends. He wears a helmet covering his entire face, its sharp bevor full of holes to allow him to speak and breathe easily, and its upper piece rounded over his head with two larger holes on either side, two curved horns just behind and a single spike sticking out of the back of his head.

Personality: Tenya may look severe, unfriendly, and even intimidating at first glance, but in reality, he's straightforward, earnest, intelligent, sophisticated, disciplined, and noble, although a bit clueless about personal interactions due to his elite upbringing. A testament to his generally hyperactive and intense behavior, Tenya often exhibits plenty of peculiar tics, such as moving his arms around in strange chopping patterns or sometimes twitching his body uncontrollably; yet he rarely sheds his usual strict expression.

Quirk - Engine: Tenya has engines in his calves that grant him incredible running speed and powerful kicks. The engines have multiple gears, and he can forcibly remove their mufflers for a temporary, explosive burst of speed known as Recipro Burst.

Appearance: Ochaco is a short girl with a slender yet curvy figure, fair skin, and auburn hair with eyes that match in color. She has perpetual pink blush marks on her cheeks, and her eyes are large and round with thick upper lashes, two more extended and more prominent ones on either side and fewer but more individually pronounced lower lashes. Her hair is above shoulder-length with short bangs hanging above her eyebrows, and the style is bobbed with two long strands framing her face. She has small, thick pads on her fingertips similar to the digits of an animal's paws; she uses these when activating and deactivating her Quirk.

Her initial hero costume consists of a black, full-body suit with a pale pink design down the middle of her torso, topped with two black semi-spheres on her chest, two pink stripes starting at her midsection, a deep pink choker, and two-toned pink sleeves with cuffs. It also has matching pale and deep pink-colored accessories, including round gauntlets with handles, which are used to increase and decrease her blood pressure, chunky, knee-high boots with deep pink shock-absorbent soles and grey heels that have stiff springs in them to soften landings, and a two-piece belt with a round buckle. She sometimes wears matching headgear with a tinted visor as well, which is used to lessen stress on her ear canals. Her accessories are designed to press her acupuncture points, but the tightness of her costume was an error due to her not being specific enough in her request for its design (though it's implied that she has grown into it as she still hasn't gotten it replaced)

Personality: Other students have described Ochaco as "the most laid-back girl" in her class, being very bubbly and was once kind of an airhead sometimes. She is often incredibly blunt without being aware of it. Similar to Izuku Midoriya, Ochaco's reactions tend to be exaggerated and humorous: she often becomes amused at certain personality traits and quirks others exhibit, bursting into laughter at times, which she tries to suppress.

Ochaco is a warm, cute, lively individual who thinks about everything positively, though she is objective enough to see flaws and virtues. She is generally empathetic and friendly to those she meets, and she will try to help or defend anyone who is kind to her or needs assistance. Ochaco is very good at reading people, understanding the reasons for Izuku and Katsuki Bakugo's rivalry, and being the first to notice when the usually collected Tsuyu Asui was upset. Her empathy and kindness are also seen in how well she gets along with her classmates. She is on good terms with everyone and is particularly close friends with several class members, including Izuku, Tenya Ida, Tsuyu, etc.

Quirk - Zero Gravity: Ochaco can nullify the effects of gravity on any solid object she touches with the pads on her fingertips. This makes the objects weightless and easy to float. She can release the effect by touching her fingertips together. Overuse of her Quirk can cause her to become nauseous.

Appearance: Denki has short gold hair, parted to the right with a black lightning-shaped streak on the left of his side fringe, which is angled to partially obscure his left eye. He has slanted, somewhat triangular golden eyes and notably small eyebrows. He's slimmer than most male students in his class, with little visible muscle mass.

Denki's original hero costume consists of a plain white shirt, over which he wears an open black jacket with a white lightning pattern across his back, with matching pants with two lines running down his legs and brown shoes. He has a single, square-shaped earphone over his right ear, resembling a radio antenna sticking out of the top.

Personality: Denki is a friendly, social, and energetic boy who enjoys hanging out with others. He is rather casual when interacting with other people, including the generally unfriendly Katsuki Bakugo, although he's not above petty complaining or overreacting if he feels annoyed or shocked enough. Denki may come off as blunt and reckless at times but is always well-meaning.

Denki is somewhat flirtatious towards the girls in and out of his class, sometimes accompanying Minoru Mineta on his schemes and trying to pass himself off as a smooth talker. He is not very lucky with his approaches, though, frequently having his advances ignored or outright rejected by those he asks out. Denki is also a bit of a jokester and sometimes teases others with playful comments. Overall, Denki is interested in appearing cool and trendy to impress people but has a shallow understanding of how to do so properly. Because of that, he is easily influenced by what's popular or stylish at the moment, even if it's due to villain action.

Quirk - Electrification: Denki can generate and discharge massive amounts of electricity from his body. While powerful, he initially lacks control, indiscriminately shocking everyone around him. Exceeding his wattage limit causes his brain to short-circuit.

Appearance: Eijiro is a muscular young man of average height and a rather impressive physique for his young age. He has red eyes pointed slightly inwards, and a small scar just above his right eye. He also has small eyebrows and pointed teeth. His hair is somewhat long, dyed a bright red, and spiked away from his head at all angles with gel, with two more pronounced tufts spiked on either side of his forehead like little horns. This lofty style takes a full three minutes to set.

In his hero costume, Eijiro wears two dark red gear-shaped shoulder pads. A similar colored jagged sash joins the one on his left to the right side of his belt, which has a red "R" set into its center, standing for his hero name: Red Riot. Below this, he wears baggy black pants and a red half cape with a ripped hem. He also sports dark red boots and thick rings around his calves. He leaves his chest bare and wears a wired guard around his face, reaching from just above his hairline to below his jaw, an extra piece going over the bridge of his nose, and some spiked pieces around his mouth that resemble little fangs. Overall, the look slightly resembles that of an Oni.

Personality: Eijiro is a boisterous and outgoing guy with a fondness for manliness, often using the terms "manly" and "unmanly" to describe things and people he does or doesn't like, respectively. Those who showcase a noble, brave, or determined attitude tend to emotionally move him to tears, quickly earning his complete admiration, respect, and friendship. Similarly, he will call out traits that are the opposite of that, such as cowardice and dirty play. Eijiro is determined and selfless, bravely putting the safety of others before himself. He is also a big fan of Crimson Riot, a retro hero from whom he takes inspiration, including personal values and his hero name.

Quirk - Hardening: Eijiro can harden any part of his body, making it jagged and rock-like. This grants him immense durability and enhances his physical attacks. His ultimate move, Red Riot Unbreakable, makes his entire body incredibly hard for a short period, rendering him virtually indestructible.

Appearance: Kyoka is a petite, fair-skinned girl with a slender build. She has triangular onyx eyes with notably long lower eyelashes and small eyebrows. Her dark-purple hair is chin length, with an asymmetrical fringe that has two reflections shaped like sound waves on either side. She also has two chin length strands framing her face, and keeps the rest up to her neck. Her most prominent features are the flexible, plug-like earphone jacks hanging from each of her earlobes; they act like extra limbs that she is able to control at will, and change their length if so desired.

Unlike the other students, Kyoka sometimes wears a waistcoat over her school uniform, in place of the usual U.A. blazer.

Her hero costume consists of a black leather jacket, long salmon-colored shirt with several rips at the collar and hem, black pants, and boots with stereos built into their shafts. She also has two small, triangular red paint marks just below her eyes, a plain black choker, and white fingerless gloves.

Personality: Kyoka has a pragmatic, snarky, and unenthusiastic personality, often teasing her more energetic classmates, particularly Denki Kaminari. Beneath this cool exterior, she is surprisingly sensitive and caring, especially about her passion for music (which she was initially embarrassed about). She is a talented musician, playing multiple instruments.

Quirk - Earphone Jack: Kyoka can plug the jacks extending from her ears into objects, allowing her to channel the sound of her heartbeat into them, creating powerful vibrations. She can also use them to detect faint sounds and pinpoint locations with extreme accuracy.

Appearance: Hanta is a tall, lean young man with chin-length black hair spiked downwards, with jagged bangs coming about halfway down his forehead. He has almond-shaped eyes, usually stretched quite broad and rather large, with small pupils and straight teeth that dominate his grin; however, according to Katsuki Bakugo and Present Mic, he has a rather plain face. His elbows have the shape of cylindrical tape dispensers, from which he fires his Tape Quirk.

His hero costume consists of a black, skin-tight bodysuit with a turtleneck, plain apart from a white design on his mid-torso area, and two yellow trimmings around each of his elbow-length sleeves. He wears white boots lined with yellow and has short white bands around his waist and the sides of his thighs, a larger one across his chest to connect his shoulder pads, shaped like tape dispensers. He completes his outfit with a yellow helmet, shaped similarly to his shoulder pads, with a sizeable black visor obscuring his face.

Personality: Hanta is amicable and has proven to be one of the more sociable members of Class 1-A. He can sometimes be loud and showy, often trying to impress his peers with his Quirk.

He is often the only person to call his classmates out when they act crazy. He is pretty humorous and usually makes jokes with his classmates. However, when push comes to shove, Hanta is a brave hero-in-training who wishes to prosper on his own while helping others do the same. He makes friends with those around him and is shown to be a very laid-back guy.

Quirk - Tape: Hanta can shoot long, cellophane-like tape from his elbows. The tape is very strong and sticky, making it perfect for capturing enemies, swinging across large distances, or creating traps. He can also retract the tape.

Appearance: Shoto is a moderately tall and rather muscular young man who is well-built for his age, stemming from his intense training as a child. He has short hair that doesn't pass his neck, and wears bangs, parted twice to avoid obscuring his vision.

His hair is evenly split between white on his right side and crimson red on his left, this unusual coloring being due to his Quirk. As another result, he also possesses heterochromia iridum, which causes his left eye's iris to appear turquoise, while his right is a brownish dark gray.

His eyes, in shape, are quite thin and reserved. Additionally, he has a large burn scar on the left side of his face, which reaches from his hairline to halfway down his cheek. He usually has a serious expression. Despite this, however, several of the girls in his class have claimed that he is handsome and Mina Ashido even goes as far as to say that he's the best-looking guy in Class 1-A.

His updated hero costume consists of a dark blue heat-resistant jacket with elbow-length sleeves, its collar high, with a cooling/heating device within it and joined in the center by a gray neckpiece. His baggy pants of the same color as his jacket, a metal-plated tactical vest which now functions as both a heater and radiator and white boots similar to his initial costume, with the soles equipped with spikes and a thin line running down the center of each of them a darker pale gray. He also sports a brown utility belt around his waist, which can hold four little metal capsules containing medical supplies hanging off the front.

Personality: Shoto originally had a cold, aloof personality, which stemmed from his abusive upbringing and complicated family life. Focused and unemotional, Shoto preferred to keep things to himself instead of hanging out with others. After the events of the U.A. Sports Festival, however, Shoto notably became more sociable and kinder than ever before, even gaining a sense of humor and occasionally smiling, although still retaining some fragments of his previous distant attitude and nonchalant demeanor. After the Provisional Hero License Course, he began opening up more to his classmates and has lightened up from his usually serious demeanor. Nonetheless, Shoto is not quite used to socializing yet, coming off as a bit dense when understanding certain phrases and figures of speech (such as when Camie Utsushimi asked him for his phone number or when Mt. Lady tried flirting with him) or when trying to read between the lines.

Quirk - Half-Cold Half-Hot: Shoto's Quirk gives him pyrokinesis from the left side of his body and cryokinesis from the right. He can create massive glaciers of ice and unleash powerful blasts of flame. Overuse of one side can lead to frostbite or heatstroke, respectively, but he can regulate his body temperature by using the opposite side.

Appearance: Katsuki is a young man of above-average height with a slim, muscular build, and a fair skin tone. He has short, spiky, sandy blond hair with choppy bangs that hang over his eyebrows. His eyes are sharp, bright red in color.

Personality: Katsuki is arrogant, aggressive, and crude, with a superiority complex. He is brutally honest and has a short temper. Despite these traits, he is exceptionally talented and intelligent, a natural genius in combat. He is fiercely driven by a desire to be the number one hero and win at all costs. Over time, he develops a grudging respect for his rivals and a more complex, nuanced form of heroism.

His hero costume consists of a tight, black, sleeveless tank top featuring an orange "X" across the middle, creating a V-neck design. There are two black dots along the left side of the collar, which is the trademark of his costume's designer, Sasori Nimaru. The outfit includes a metallic neck brace with rectangular ends, each having three holes on either side. He wears black sleeves that extend from large, grenade-like gauntlets up to his biceps, finishing with thin orange tips. A green and orange belt, equipped with grenades, secures his baggy pants that have green straps and knee guards. On his feet, he sports black, knee-high combat boots with orange soles, eight eyelets, and straps at the top. His mask is jagged and black, with a large, orange-rimmed flare shape protruding from each side around the eyes.

Quirk - Explosion: Katsuki secretes a nitroglycerin-like sweat from his palms, which he can ignite on command to create powerful explosions. He can use these blasts for propulsion, offense, and defense. The more he sweats, the more powerful his explosions become.

Appearance: Izuku is somewhat short for his age, his round face is framed by a short mop of fluffy dark-green hair which curls up at odd angles around his head, casting noticeably dark shadows onto itself. His eyes are large and somewhat circular and his irises are the same shade of green as his hair, which at times are very watery, and are usually stretched quite wide, giving him an innocent, energized appearance. He has a set of four symmetrical freckles in diamond formations, one on each cheek. Izuku has often been described as "plain-looking" or "not standing out" by others.

Though he was initially very skinny, Izuku has gained toned muscles after his ten months of extensive training with All Might, and as the series progresses, these are shown to become more developed and defined as he gradually grows stronger.

His hero costume, known as "Costume Beta", has a few changes made by the costume designers and now looks sturdier and more combat-ready in appearance. The color is now a darker teal with black outlines instead of white. It includes light beige shoulder pads, black knee pads that have been extended to his legs, now reaching up to his thighs. His new gloves are also tinted light beige and are decorated with two blue stripes. His respirator is now metal, diamond-shaped, and has eight holes. Izuku goes without a mask in his second suit, and although the mask is still present, he doesn't wear it much.

Personality: Izuku is polite, timid, and kind-hearted, but also incredibly heroic and selfless. Initially born without a Quirk, he possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of heroes and Quirks, making him a brilliant analyst and strategist. He has an unbreakable spirit and a powerful sense of justice, often rushing into danger to save others without a second thought. His defining trait is his unwavering drive to become a hero who saves everyone with a smile.

Quirk - One For All: A transferable Quirk passed down through generations. It allows the user to stockpile and access an immense amount of raw power, granting superhuman strength, speed, agility, and durability. Initially, Izuku's body cannot handle the power, causing him to break his bones. He learns to control it by coursing a smaller percentage throughout his body ('Full Cowl'). One For All also contains the Quirks of its previous wielders, which Izuku is gradually unlocking, including Blackwhip, Float, and Danger Sense.

Appearance: Tetsutetsu is a young man with chin-length, messy gray hair, which is rather peculiar in that it never seems to change shape, and black eyes that are tilted dramatically inwards, each lined with a very thick, jagged, tan-colored substance, presumably his eyelashes. He doesn't appear to have any notable eyebrows, and, like Eijiro Kirishima, he has rows of sharp, pointed teeth. Sometime after graduation, Tetsutetsu cuts his hair shorter.

His hero costume consists of a dark pale green jumpsuit, cut off just below his chest, with some small, silver-rimmed holes in the lower section of his baggy pants and black boots with metal soles, heels, and front plating. He has steel straps over his shoulders and under his arms, made up of multiple pieces, which connect at a red oval in the center of his chest, with two thinner bands around his biceps and a small plate on either side of his waist, connecting to a brown sash with pouches and a big gray container on the back . He wears a metal jaw-guard around his face, similar to the one Eijiro wears, just thicker and not connected over his nose or around his chin, with the letters "Fe" (which stands for iron in the periodic table) stamped on a plate on each side of his face.

Personality: Tetsutetsu is defined by his very hotheaded and outspoken personality. He is confident, stubborn, and straightforward in his motivations and actions. He tends to be very vocal about his intentions and has a one-track mind, often looking for the simplest solution to problems to solve them most directly. Tetsutetsu's direct personality shows through his tenacious and upfront fighting style during battles.

Quirk - Steel: Tetsutetsu's Quirk allows him to turn his entire body into solid steel. This transformation grants him immense durability and enhances his physical strength. His steel body is resistant to extreme heat and powerful physical blows, though his stamina is finite.

Appearance: Itsuka is a girl of medium height and has a slim build. She has sharp yet rounded teal eyes with white pupils and long orange hair that she typically wears tied into a high ponytail on the left side of her head. Her bangs are split into three clumps around her eyes, and some of her hair sticks up in large tufts at the top of her head.

For her first hero costume, Itsuka wears a teal knee-length qipao with yellow accents, over which she has a black double-breasted corset, ending just below her breasts. She also sports black short pants under the qipao. For accessories, she wears a loose brown utility belt around her hips with two long containers attached at the back, a thin black domino mask around her eyes, and white-heeled navy blue boots with wide vamps that reach down to her toes, filled in with white slips.

Personality: Itsuka is spirited, intelligent, and thoughtful. She is known as the 'Big Sister' of Class 1-B, often taking charge and acting as the class representative. She is very caring towards her classmates and is one of the few who can keep Neito Monoma's antics in check, often by knocking him unconscious. She is pragmatic, strategic, and very reliable.

Quirk - Big Fist: Itsuka's Quirk allows her to enlarge her hands to a gigantic size. This transformation grants her immense strength, allowing her to smash through defenses, create powerful gusts of wind by clapping, and easily carry multiple people.

Appearance: Neito is a young man of average height with slick blond hair, which gets shorter the further down his head, styled so that it's parted to the right, his bangs left hanging over his right eye. His irises are a periwinkle blue, his pupils white, and his eyes are shaped so that they're slanting downwards towards the far sides of his face, usually left half-closed; this, along with his signature smirk and head tilt, gives him a rather contemptuous look, although the girls do admit in the light novels that Neito has a handsome face.

His hero costume is a black, double-breasted tuxedo with two long tails almost reaching his ankles. Three clocks hang on one of two belts around his waist to help him keep track of his Quirk's time limit, and he leaves his shirt collar upturned, a light and dark blue dotted tie done up around his neck. A left breast pocket can be found on his tuxedo, a small blue handkerchief sticking out. Neito's tailcoat and pants are plain black, except for the cuffs of his sleeves and the inner-facing sides of his tails, and his shoes are white with a simple design.

Personality: Neito has a rather complex personality since it differs depending on who he is addressing: he is particularly mocking, loud, and sarcastic with Class 1-A, provocative in battle, and outside of these contexts, he is a calm, kind, and intelligent person. Regardless of how he acts, two of his most prominent traits are him being vocal and deranged.

Quirk - Copy: Neito's Quirk allows him to duplicate and use the Quirk of another person after making physical contact with them. He can hold up to four copied Quirks at a time and use them one by one for up to ten minutes. He cannot copy Quirks that require a built-up resource, like One For All or Fat Absorption.

Appearance: Shota Aizawa is a slender man with a perpetually tired expression, messy, shoulder-length black hair, and a bit of facial scruff. He typically wears simple, dark clothing. His hero costume is a practical, dark jumpsuit with a utility belt. His most defining features are the yellow goggles he wears to hide his line of sight and his Capture Weapon, a long, grey scarf made of a carbon fiber and steel wire alloy that he wears around his neck.

Personality: Aizawa is stern, logical, and extremely rational, often coming across as lazy or apathetic due to his habit of napping in a yellow sleeping bag. Beneath this exterior, he is a deeply caring teacher who is fiercely protective of his students, pushing them to their absolute limits to ensure they become capable heroes. He has little patience for nonsense and values practicality above all else.

Quirk - Erasure: By looking at someone, Aizawa can nullify their Quirk. The effect lasts as long as he maintains eye contact and his vision is unobstructed. If he blinks, the target's Quirk returns. Prolonged use of his Quirk gives him severe dry eye.

Appearance: Hizashi Yamada is a tall man with long, spiky blond hair styled dramatically upwards, a small mustache, and orange-tinted sunglasses. He is almost always seen with a wide, energetic grin. His hero costume consists of a black leather jacket with a high collar, black pants, headphones, and a large directional speaker worn around his neck.

Personality: Loud, charismatic, and perpetually energetic, Present Mic embodies the persona of a radio host and announcer. He is friendly, outgoing, and loves to be the center of attention. Despite his flamboyant and seemingly simple-minded nature, he is intelligent, perceptive, and a skilled Pro Hero who can be serious when the situation demands it.

Quirk - Voice: This Quirk allows him to amplify the volume of his voice to devastating levels, creating powerful sonic shockwaves. He can use it to incapacitate opponents and destroy objects. The speaker device around his neck helps him direct and focus the sound.

Appearance: Mei is a teenage girl with an average build and pink, dreadlocked hair that is often tied up. Her eyes are a distinct yellow with crosshair-like pupils, a feature of her Quirk. She is almost always seen wearing her work goggles on her head and is typically dressed in a simple tank top and work coveralls, often smudged with grease and soot from her inventions.

Personality: Mei is an eccentric, shameless, and incredibly intelligent inventor. She is extremely passionate and forward about her creations, which she affectionately calls her 'babies'. She has a business-first mindset and is not afraid to use any opportunity to advertise her gear, often getting uncomfortably close to people to do so. She is not easily embarrassed and is completely absorbed in the world of support items and technology.

Quirk - Zoom: Mei's eyes can zoom in on objects at a great distance. She claims she can see clearly up to five kilometers away, which is incredibly useful for analyzing and building her intricate support items.

Appearance: Mirio is a tall, very muscular young man with blond hair styled into a distinct cowlick. His facial features are often drawn in a simplistic, cartoonish style, particularly his blue, oval-shaped eyes. His hero costume is predominantly white and blue, featuring the number 1,000,000 on his chest, representing his goal to save one million people.

Personality: Mirio is extremely optimistic, energetic, and goofy. He has a great sense of humor and a positive outlook on life, but underneath his cheerful exterior is a dedicated, hardworking, and incredibly skilled hero. He is deeply compassionate and understands the core principles of heroism, always striving to keep people safe and smiling. He is a natural leader and a role model for other students.

Quirk - Permeation: This powerful Quirk allows Mirio to become intangible, letting him phase his body through any solid matter, including the ground and enemy attacks. While intangible, light, sound, and air also pass through him, rendering him blind, deaf, and unable to breathe. He has mastered this difficult Quirk through immense training, allowing him to selectively phase parts of his body and use the repelling force of re-solidifying inside objects to launch himself at incredible speeds.

Appearance: Nejire is a young woman with fair skin, big blue eyes, and extremely long, light blue hair that spirals around itself, reaching down to her legs. Her hero costume consists of a form-fitting bodysuit with spiral-patterned gauntlets and horn-like accessories on her head.

Personality: Nejire is a free-spirit who is endlessly curious, talkative, and energetic. She has a childlike wonder about the unique appearances and abilities of others, often asking blunt and forward questions without any ill intent. She is cheerful and affectionate, but also a very capable and focused hero in a crisis, demonstrating a powerful drive to help others.

Quirk - Wave Motion: Nejire can convert her own vitality and stamina into powerful, spiraling waves of energy. These shockwaves are potent enough to take down giant villains and can also be released from her feet to grant her flight and high-speed mobility. The drawback is that using her Quirk consumes her stamina, and overuse can leave her exhausted.

Appearance: Tamaki is a tall young man with messy, indigo-colored hair that is often seen covering part of his face. He has pointed, elf-like ears and a perpetually tired or stressed expression. He has a tendency to hunch over and often faces a wall when feeling overwhelmed by social situations.

Personality: Tamaki is extremely shy, anxious, and suffers from cripplingly low self-esteem despite being one of U.A.'s most powerful students. He is easily intimidated and finds it very difficult to speak to crowds or receive praise. However, when his friends are threatened or when he is in the heat of battle, his timid nature gives way to fierce determination and bravery. He looks up to Mirio Togata as his personal 'sun' and inspiration.

Quirk - Manifest: Tamaki's Quirk gives him the ability to manifest the physical characteristics of anything he has eaten. The size, detail, and strength of the manifestation depend on how much he has consumed. He can manifest multiple features at once, such as growing octopus tentacles for arms and clam shells for hands (from eating takoyaki and clams). He strategically eats a daily menu of foods that will provide useful abilities in combat.

Appearance: Yo Shindo is a young man with short, black, spiky hair and dark eyes. He often wears a confident and friendly smile. His hero costume is dark and practical, featuring thick gauntlets on his forearms which help him focus his Quirk.

Personality: On the surface, Yo is charismatic, friendly, and polite. He presents himself as a model student who believes in cooperation and teamwork. However, this is largely a facade. In reality, he is cunning, manipulative, and highly competitive, possessing a hidden ruthless side. He is willing to use trickery and exploit others to achieve his goals, though he is not inherently malevolent and acts in what he believes is the best interest of his school.

Quirk - Vibrate: Yo can make anything he touches vibrate at high speeds. This allows him to create powerful, localized earthquakes by touching the ground, shaking apart terrain and knocking opponents off balance. The drawback is that using his power over a wide area causes his own body to feel the aftershocks, which can stun him.

Appearance: Enji is a tall, incredibly muscular man with short crimson hair and sharp turquoise eyes. His body is almost always wreathed in his own flames, which form his signature fiery beard, mustache, and boots. His hero costume is dark blue with lines of fire flowing across his chest and shoulders.

Personality: Enji is ambitious, prideful, and stern, formerly obsessed with surpassing All Might to become the Number One Hero. This ambition led him to be cold and abusive towards his family. Following All Might's retirement, he begins a difficult journey of atonement, grappling with his new responsibilities and attempting to become a better man and a true hero his family can be proud of. In battle, he is fierce, relentless, and highly tactical.

Quirk - Hellflame: This Quirk grants him immense pyrokinetic abilities, allowing him to generate and manipulate extremely intense flames. He can launch powerful blasts, create fire constructs, and use his flames for propulsion. His main weakness is that overuse can cause his own body to overheat, impairing his physical functions.

Appearance: Dabi is a tall, slender young man with spiky black hair (originally white) and striking turquoise eyes. Large patches of his skin are purplish and heavily scarred, crudely held together by surgical staples and stitches. These patches cover his lower face, neck, arms, and legs. He has several silver cartilage piercings in both ears and a triple-nostril piercing. His villain costume consists of a dark blue jacket with a high, ripped collar, matching pants, a simple grey shirt, and dark boots. He also wears a leather belt.

Personality: Dabi is aloof, stoic, and confident, often appearing detached and cynical. He has a sarcastic and somewhat nihilistic view of hero society. Beneath this calm demeanor lies a deep-seated grudge and a sadistic obsession with tormenting his father, Endeavor, and his brother, Shoto. He is driven by revenge and a desire to expose the hypocrisy of heroes, showing a manic and unhinged side when confronting his family.

Quirk - Cremation: Dabi's Quirk grants him the ability to generate and control intensely hot, blue flames. These flames are far more powerful than normal fire, capable of incinerating anything they touch almost instantly. However, his body has a low tolerance for his own heat, causing him to burn himself if he uses his Quirk for extended periods. This is the source of his extensive scarring.

QUIRKS & QUIRK SOCIETY:

The world of My Hero Academia is a modern society in which approximately 80% of the population possesses a Quirk, a naturally occurring superhuman ability. Quirks generally manifest during childhood and vary enormously from person to person.

Quirks are commonly categorized into three broad types:

Emitter — Quirks that allow the user to produce, release, manipulate, or control something.

Transformation — Quirks that temporarily alter the user's body or physical capabilities.

Mutant — Quirks that permanently alter the user's physical appearance or anatomy.

Not every Quirk fits perfectly into one category, and some abilities possess characteristics of multiple types.

Every Quirk has limitations. These may include physical exhaustion, recoil, pain, overheating, dehydration, loss of concentration, limited range, limited duration, environmental requirements, or other drawbacks specific to the ability. A powerful Quirk does not automatically make someone a skilled hero. Training, experience, strategy, judgment, creativity, and teamwork are equally important.

Quirks are an ordinary part of everyday life. Most people with Quirks are civilians rather than heroes or villains. Quirks can be used in countless careers, hobbies, sports, entertainment industries, medical fields, construction, transportation, and other areas of society.

Quirkless people also exist, although they are a minority in modern society.

Because Quirks are widespread, society, technology, medicine, education, architecture, law enforcement, and public safety have all developed around their existence.

Professional heroism is only one part of Quirk society. Possessing a Quirk does not automatically make someone a hero, and possessing a powerful Quirk does not grant someone permission to use it however they wish.

PROFESSIONAL HEROES & HERO SOCIETY:

Professional Heroes are licensed individuals who use their Quirks professionally to protect civilians, respond to emergencies, rescue people, combat villains, investigate threats, and maintain public safety.

Heroism is a major profession and cultural institution within modern society. Heroes can become highly respected public figures, celebrities, role models, or symbols of safety. Their popularity can be influenced by their accomplishments, personality, public image, effectiveness, and media presence.

A person possessing a Quirk does not automatically have the legal authority to perform professional hero work. Professional hero activity is regulated by laws and licensing requirements. Hero students receive specialized education and training before becoming fully licensed professionals.

Professional Heroes commonly work through Hero Agencies. Agencies organize patrols, emergency responses, investigations, rescue operations, internships, sidekick positions, public relations, and other professional activities. Some heroes operate independently while others work as part of larger agencies or teams.

Hero work requires considerably more than raw Quirk strength. Professional Heroes are expected to protect civilians, assess dangerous situations, cooperate with other heroes and emergency personnel, make responsible decisions, control their Quirks, and adapt to unpredictable circumstances.

Heroes may receive sponsorships, merchandise deals, interviews, advertisements, media appearances, and other opportunities because heroism is deeply connected to popular culture. However, fame does not necessarily determine a hero's actual strength or competence.

Professional Hero rankings exist as a way of publicly recognizing successful and influential heroes. Rankings can be affected by accomplishments, public reputation, effectiveness, popularity, and other factors. A high ranking can bring increased attention, sponsorships, and public trust, but rankings are not a perfect measurement of a hero's overall ability.

Hero society depends heavily on public trust. Citizens generally expect professional heroes to arrive during dangerous incidents and protect them from villains and other threats. Major failures, scandals, injuries, or controversial incidents can significantly affect public opinion.

Hero students may participate in supervised internships and work-study programs under professional heroes. These experiences expose students to real-world hero work and allow them to learn directly from experienced professionals.

Hero Society is not a world where everyone is a hero. The vast majority of people with Quirks live ordinary civilian lives and use their abilities in everyday professions, hobbies, or activities.

VILLAINS & CRIMINAL ACTIVITY:

Villains are individuals who use their Quirks or other abilities to commit crimes, harm others, threaten public safety, exploit civilians, pursue personal goals through illegal means, or otherwise oppose the established hero society.

Villains are not a single unified group. Their personalities, motivations, abilities, intelligence, resources, and goals can vary dramatically.

Some villains commit crimes for money or personal gain. Others seek power, revenge, recognition, freedom from social restrictions, ideological change, destruction, or chaos. Some are organized criminals, while others operate alone.

Criminal activity can range from ordinary Quirk-related offenses and theft to organized crime, hostage situations, attacks on public locations, assassinations, terrorism, and large-scale assaults.

Because Quirks are widespread, some crimes involve the specialized use or misuse of Quirks. Police and professional heroes are trained to respond to these situations, while specialized equipment and containment methods may be required depending on the ability involved.

Villain organizations can be considerably more dangerous than individual criminals because they may possess coordinated leadership, multiple powerful Quirks, intelligence networks, resources, safehouses, and long-term plans.

Professional Heroes are responsible for responding to villain incidents, protecting civilians, stopping criminals, and cooperating with law enforcement when necessary.

U.A. and other hero-training institutions teach students how to respond to villain attacks, but students are not automatically equivalent to fully trained professional heroes. Their participation in dangerous incidents is generally governed by supervision, licensing, circumstances, and emergency conditions.

Villain attacks can occur unexpectedly in public spaces, schools, cities, transportation areas, businesses, or other locations. Civilians are encouraged to follow evacuation and emergency instructions during major incidents.

The existence of villains is one of the primary reasons Hero Society developed its professional hero system, specialized training institutions, emergency procedures, and public safety infrastructure.

HERO LICENSING & QUIRK LAWS:

Quirk use is regulated by law. Possessing a Quirk does not automatically grant a person permission to use that ability however they want, especially in situations involving public safety, law enforcement, combat, or professional hero activity.

Professional Heroes require appropriate licensing and authorization to legally perform hero work. Hero licenses confirm that an individual has received sufficient training and demonstrated the judgment, ability, and responsibility required for professional hero activities.

Hero students undergo specialized education and practical training before becoming fully licensed professionals. Depending on their stage of training, students may receive provisional authorization allowing them to participate in certain hero activities under established rules and supervision.

The Provisional Hero License is an important step in a hero student's development. It allows qualified students to perform certain hero-related activities legally while they continue their education and training.

Using a Quirk irresponsibly or illegally can result in disciplinary action, legal consequences, or intervention by authorities. The exact consequences depend on the circumstances, severity of the offense, intent, and applicable laws.

Emergency situations can create exceptions or complications. A civilian may use their Quirk during an immediate emergency to protect themselves or another person, but this does not automatically make them a licensed professional hero.

Hero students are expected to follow school regulations, instructor orders, licensing restrictions, and public safety procedures.

Hero licensing exists because Quirk strength alone does not determine whether someone is qualified to act as a professional hero. Judgment, restraint, rescue ability, teamwork, situational awareness, and responsibility are essential parts of hero work.

U.A. and other hero-training institutions prepare students for licensing through academic education, Quirk training, combat exercises, rescue exercises, simulations, and supervised real-world experiences.

In the MHA University AU, these same licensing principles remain in effect. U.A. is a university rather than a high school, but students still have to meet the necessary legal and professional requirements before becoming fully licensed Pro Heroes.

HERO AGENCIES:

Hero Agencies are professional organizations operated by licensed Pro Heroes. Agencies coordinate hero work such
