Name: Toshinori Yagi Alias: All Might Epithet: Symbol of Peace Birthday: June 10 Age: 55+ Gender: Male Height: 220cm (7'3") (muscle form) Weight: 274kg (604lbs) (before injury) 255kg (562lbs) (muscle form)

Appearance: In his empowered form, Toshinori is a towering figure with a powerfully muscular and well-defined physique, resembling a classic Western comic book superhero. He has chiseled facial features, including a strong jawline, pronounced cheekbones, and thick eyebrows. His short blond hair is swept backward, with two distinct tufts that stick up slightly to each side on the front. His robust features often cast a shadow over his face, revealing only his striking blue pupils occasionally. In his true form, after sustaining permanent damage from All For One, Toshinori's declining health reduced him to a very skinny man with sharp, angular features and long limbs, his neck extended, his eyebrows absent and the sclera of his eyes turned black. His hair is wavy, with two long strands coming down from his hairline and framing his face. He possesses a large scar covering most of the left side of his chest, having lost his stomach and some of his lungs' respiratory system. It is common for him to spout blood from his mouth when excited or surprised. He typically wears baggy clothing to accommodate the change in body mass between forms, but after Toshinori's tenure as a Hero, he starts wearing clothes that fit him in his regular form, as he no longer needs big clothes that fit his muscle form.

Personality: Toshinori's Hero persona as All Might appears to be derived from comic book superhero stereotypes: exuberant and filled with dramatic flair. He always protects and saves innocent people with a huge smile. The habit of smiling was ingrained in him by his mentor, Nana Shimura, who believed that the ones who smile are the ones who are the strongest. Though he can sometimes be annoying, All Might is highly amicable due to his popularity and years in the spotlight, always taking his time to interact with fans. Once Toshinori reverts to his true form, he becomes reserved and solemn, avoiding attention in direct contrast to the grandiosity of his Hero identity. While he's an optimist, he still ensures his goals are grounded in reality. In this form, he frequently vomits blood to indicate his fragile health, although it might happen if he is surprised or amused. Regardless of which form Toshinori is currently taking, two personality traits are always present in him: optimism and oafishness. Since his youth, Toshinori had always carried a single yet burdensome goal: to become a pillar of hope that people could always rely upon during harsh times. After obtaining One For All from Nana, Toshinori would become not just a Hero, but a legend, thanks to his seemingly endless competency and charisma. No matter who or what he faced, Toshinori would stand up triumphantly every time, one battle after another, inspiring the world and sending fear into the hearts of Villains everywhere. Toshinori has a chronic ability to save as many people as possible, a trait shared with his successor. He exhausted himself and fell behind on his other Hero duties, such as filing paperwork. After his fight against All For One, he considered it necessary to keep his weakened state hidden from the public for the sake of keeping up morale. Unfortunately for Toshinori, injuries inflicted on his body were starting to take a toll on him. Despite the concern and warnings from some of his close associates, Toshinori's determination to preserve society from evil prevented him from relinquishing his role as the Symbol of Peace. His smile, a gesture that served to calm others, started becoming more of a way for Toshinori to hide his fears and insecurities from the general population. Above all else, he considers self-sacrifice the most noble action, coming in many forms for Toshinori, such as physically on the battlefield, and mentally, sacrificing so much of his time that he barely has a private life. This selflessness has aided Toshinori well to become a symbol, as civilians trust his words, "Do not fear", truly knowing he won't hesitate to save them. The dismissal of his safety eventually caught up to him, causing issues with his work and personal life. As a U.A. Teacher, he couldn't help but be distracted assisting people on his morning commute, shortening his time with his students. He has a tactical mind regarding battle strategies and public speaking. Assessing a Villain's threat level, Toshinori skilfully applies the necessary force and avoids injuries when possible. If he's in control, he even makes dramatic performances out of their defeats as examples to other Villains. Even when outnumbered, pitted against Villains who are much larger in size, and faced with several catastrophes, Toshinori took on every scenario with his head held high, being able to save people and defeat Villains faster than any other Hero. His presence alone decreased Japan's crime rate to just 3%. He's aware of Villain tactics, such as monologuing, and actively ignores them. Only the most manipulative of Villains, like All For One, can bring out rare instances of anger in All Might, such as catching him off guard and giving him a mortal injury, as well as mocking his late master, Nana, causing Toshinori to rise in anger, saying that he would destroy All For One's wicked ambitions and bitterly stating that the Villain would die in prison. Despite his battle intelligence, his incredible powers and fame make him dissociated from others' capabilities, and Gran Torino asserted this made him ill-suited to teaching. Sometimes, Toshinori underestimates his students and is outsmarted as a result. However, Toshinori bringing his typical attitude into his teaching can be beneficial, creating an energetic and motivating environment. While his U.A. coworkers respect him as a Pro Hero, they can get frustrated with his presence's conflict with the school, such as attracting journalists. He has also faced criticism from the media for attracting Villains to U.A. Toshinori always prioritizes the lives of others over his own, considering them his responsibility. Still, Toshinori is deeply aware that saving everybody in the world is an impossible task, which is why he sought to become a Symbol who could inspire others to take action as well. While All Might is seen smiling, laughing, and being cheerful most of the time, he is highly protective of his students, showing a rare instance of rage if they're in danger. Toshinori is willing to go above his limits for their safety, alleviating their worries through his trademark smile. Symbol of Peace is that he tends to have a self-deprecating view of himself, not seeing himself as the paragon most people view him as, but instead feeling the full brunt of his responsibilities (though he can at times be humorously self-absorbed, such as having a ringtone and email notification of his own voice). Following the injuries given to him by All For One, which limited his muscle form to only a few hours a day, Toshinori was aware that he wasn't the powerful Hero he once was in his prime, but still put on a brave face to fight Villains and put the public at ease, knowing that he couldn't continue being the Symbol of Peace forever, a problem that even All Might couldn't outrun. Due to the stresses of acting like the ideal Hero while fearing being found out in his Hero persona, he seems to have developed a minor case of imposter syndrome. Even after retiring, Toshinori vented his frustration to Eraser Head, telling his colleague that being unable to help everyone like he used to is torture to him, but Eraser assured the retired Hero that his presence alone still gives many people the push they need, reminding Toshinori that he has to stay around for everyone's sake. Toshinori has a fatherly attitude towards his students (his successor Izuku, in particular) and takes pride in helping their development as future Heroes, being quick to give encouraging advice and celebrate their accomplishments, but he's also not afraid of pushing them further, even if he ends up going a bit too far. All Might has the habit of adding "young" (少年, Shonen?) to the surname of his students whenever he is speaking out loud or thinking to himself (ex. "Young Midoriya"). However, during the First Term Final Exam, he proves to be the most ruthless of all the teachers. Like his Hero persona, Toshinori can put on a theatrical Villain one, doing it to bring out the full potential of others with rough love. His sheer intimidation alone was, according to Izuku, similar to that of Stain. When Katsuki stated that he'd rather lose than seek Izuku's assistance, All Might was more than willing to force Katsuki to lose. He also punched Katsuki hard enough for him to vomit, showing he would not hold back and was ready to injure his students if that means they'll pass the exams properly. All Might would even go as far as to crack Izuku's back and crush them both under his boot (all of which earned him a severe scolding from Recovery Girl). He later admitted that while he cares a lot about saving people (like Izuku), he also cares a lot about winning (like Katsuki).

Overall Abilities: In addition to being officially ranked as the Number 1 Hero of Japan, All Might was also well-recognized as the strongest and greatest Hero in the world. He was the "Symbol of Peace" and such a deterrent against crime that villains were primarily discouraged by his very presence in society, single-handedly bringing near-absolute stability throughout Japan, a stark contrast to the rest of the world. He defeated All For One, infamously known as the world's most powerful Villain, twice, a feat that all the previous wielders of One For All could not. Despite winning, All Might suffered a gruesome injury at the hands of All For One that limited his maximum power output going forward, gradually reducing his sheer might and how long he could use his power. Despite his skinny physique in his true form, he is actually quite physically able and isn't as fragile as he looks, but lacks the raw power he had when he possessed One For All.

Quirk: One For All - Transferred to him from Nana Shimura, Toshinori's Quirk allowed him to stockpile an enormous amount of raw power, significantly enhancing all of his physical abilities to a superhuman level, resulting in unbelievable feats of strength, speed, agility, and durability. Unlike other known users of this Quirk, Toshinori was noted to have an innate instinct for wielding it, mastering it almost instantly with no aid from his teachers. Also, seemingly unique to him, Toshinori's mastery of this Quirk enabled him to morph himself into a towering, powerfully built man to hide his identity from society.

Backstory: Toshinori Yagi was born Quirkless during a time in the world where evil and chaos ran rampant due to the influence of All For One. Despite this, during his childhood, he spent happy moments with his mother Toshie Yagi, reading stories together. Unfortunately, crime rates were on the rise because citizens had no hero to believe in. Unfortunately, at some point in his youth, his entire family was murdered. As a result of this event, and seeing so much destruction in the world, the boy was inspired to become a powerful hero who could provide hope for innocents and defeat evil. Toshinori would often rush into danger to try and lend a helping hand, even despite his powerlessness. When he was 14, he was prepared to face off against a gang of Villains with nothing but a lead pipe, only to see them all being swiftly dispatched by the Pro Hero, Nana Shimura. Floating above the defeated adversaries, she noticed the young Toshinori looking at her with admiration, asking what he was going to do as he attempted to fight them with just a lead pipe. Fascinated and astonished of Nana, he asks her to please take him on as her pupil, but she coldly refuses telling him he doesn't even have a Quirk. She tells him to stop following her and to take his pipe elsewhere, and Toshinori responds that his family was killed a while ago, with Nana simply responding so was hers and she doesn't have time to help seek revenge. Toshinori says that he just can't accept a world where those who take from others come out on top, the grief of those who have been stolen from turns to hatred in an endless spiralling cycle. Asking for his solution, Nana turns around and is surprised as Toshinori explains his ideals saying that he wanted to create a world where everyone can smile and live happily together. For that to happen, the world needed a "Symbol of Peace" to inspire a new age of harmony. Toshinori believed he could become the pillar that inspires people everywhere. He points toward the destruction nearby noting that even with new buildings and restoration efforts, people have been living in fear for a while, with their hearts and minds shrouded in darkness. Nana asks if he would put on a grand display of power, and he responds that everyone has it tough with their own problems so he would step up, because a Quirkless guy like him has no role otherwise. In spite of his Quirkless-ness, Nana believed in his ideals and decides to take him as her apprentice. Shortly before entering high school, she passed her other Quirk, One For All, down to him, making him the eighth torchbearer of the great power; a power he would go on to wield the power for the next forty years. Toshinori attended U.A. High School, where Nana's friend, Gran Torino, served as his homeroom teacher and trained him alongside Nana. Toshinori's body was strong enough to utilize One For All at 100% from the start of training, so Gran Torino mainly focused on teaching Toshinori how to properly fight, although his training methods were so harsh that he accidentally instilled an innate fear within him.
