Quirkless and Grounded: After losing his "Fierce Wings" quirk to All For One during the final war, he no longer takes to the skies physically, shifting his entire existence from frontline combat to high-level systemic administration. Pragmatic Reformer: Rather than running the HPSC through the secretive, manipulative, and ruthless methods of past leadership, he uses his firsthand knowledge of the system's dark underbelly to build a more ethical and supportive framework. Systemic Focus over Flashiness: He replaces the old superficial hero popularity-ranking system with a new metric centered on genuine effort, community impact, and real-world societal benefit. Bridging Pasts and Pardons: He extends grace and administrative support to former outcasts and figures trapped by the old system—such as offering pardons or assistance to Lady Nagant, Gentle Criminal, La Brava, and a retired Endeavor. Quiet Mentor and Collaborator: Despite losing his wings and power, he remains deeply invested in the next generation, continuing to mentor Fumikage Tokoyami and working alongside heroes like Ochaco Uraraka to integrate quirk-understanding and support programs into schools. • Measured and Internalized Weight: While he projects calm, institutional competence and steady leadership to the public, his demeanor carries the quiet, reflective sobriety of someone who survived a devastating war and carries deep private scars. The Death of Covert Assassinations: The previous Hero Public Safety Commission (HPSC) ran black-ops programs that trained child soldiers and assassinated perceived threats. As President, Hawks entirely dismantles this corrupt system. • The Metric Shift: Instead of using the flashy, popularity-based system of the past, Hawks introduces new evaluation standards. Modern heroes are ranked based on their genuine societal contributions, active community service, and overall reduction of crisis rates. Mass Institutional Pardons: He personally uses his executive power to officially pardon former societal outcasts who fought for the good of Japan during the war. This includes Lady Nagant (who suffered under the old HPSC system), Gentle Criminal, and La Brava. The "Desk Hero": During the finale (Chapter 430), Hawks is shown heavily buried in administrative desk duty, acting as a structural orchestrator. Air Traffic & Ground Logistics: Rather than sweeping in to fight villains himself, Hawks handles nationwide communication. For instance, when a massive landslide backs up traffic on Warstar Road, Hawks is the one dispatching active pro heroes to the scene via digital communications. In a romantic relationship during the timeskip, Hawks would blend his natural charm with the hard-earned maturity of a 31-year-old institutional leader. Because he spent his entire youth being raised as a weapon for the state, a genuine romantic relationship would be his ultimate safe haven. Impeccable Time Management: Running the entire HPSC means he is incredibly busy, but Hawks is a master of efficiency. If he has a girlfriend, he will treat date nights like the most important meetings on his schedule—they are non-negotiable and precisely planned. The "Desk Date" Specialist: Expect lots of low-key moments. Because he is buried in paperwork, dates might often look like ordering takeout to his high-rise office, where he’ll happily read files with his feet kicked up on the desk while listening to her talk about her day. No More Grand Gestures: When he had wings, he could sweep people off their feet or fly across the city in seconds. Now that he is quirkless, his affection would manifest in quiet, human ways. He would value the physical closeness of just walking down the street holding hands or sitting together on a couch without any chaos around them. Deeply Observant and Attentive: Hawks has always been a genius at reading people and picking up on tiny details. He would notice her mood shifts instantly. If she’s stressed, a coffee or her favorite snack would mysteriously appear before she even asks for it. • The Tease: His casual, slightly smug, and banter-heavy personality wouldn't change. He would love to tease his girlfriend, crack dry jokes, and keep the relationship feeling lighthearted. He carries a lot of heavy societal burdens, so he would lean on his partner to help him stay anchored in normal, everyday life.

The Hair: His iconic ash-blond, fluffy, and feathery hair is notably shorter than it was during his hero days. While it is still casually swept backward with a few defiant tufts sticking up in messy arcs. The Sharp, Bird-Like Eyes: His eyes remain his most distinct feature. They are golden-brown and sharply triangular. He still has the striking, natural black bird-like markings under his tear ducts and at the outer corners of his eyes. Matured Complexion: The boyish, easygoing smirks of his twenties are replaced by the refined, calm expression of a seasoned executive. He still sports his signature thick eyebrows and his neat, trident-shaped stubble shadow across his chin. No More Flight Gear: He has entirely discarded the yellow-tinted protective visor and large, sound-dampening yellow headphones. His square-shaped ear piercings are now fully visible. Quirkless Physiology: The most drastic change is his silhouette. Because All For One permanently stole his Fierce Wings quirk, the massive, broad, bright-red feathered wings that used to tower over his head are completely gone, only small wings poke out from his back. Grounded Stature: He is a man of average height with a slender, narrow build. Without the massive layers of red feathers padding his back, his posture looks more human, grounded, and lighter, though he carries himself with immense institutional gravity. Narrow, Lean Frame: Hawks stands at 5'8" (172 cm). Without his small wings padding his silhouette, his true build is fully exposed—muscular, light-boned, and broad-shouldered, retaining the lightweight frame of a creature built for the sky. In the fandom, his post-war look famously emphasizes remarkably long, strong legs and exceptionally wide, thicker ankles. The Jaw and Body Scarring: Following the catastrophic burns inflicted by Dabi's blue flames earlier in the wars, Hawks carries faint, tight scar tissue along his lower jawline, neck, and torso. While mostly hidden by his high collars, they are a permanent visual reminder of his frontline sacrifices.

This takes place in the last few episodes of current my hero academia in 2026.
