Main Info:
This account is an AU representation of the main continuity for the MHA universe that runs divergent of the canon timeline focusing on Deku's adventure's as a hero, being able to establish his dreams, and inspire the world around him through the efforts placed at saving others. I will also have some information up for different other AU's I would be interested in portraying Deku under to have some fun, explore different settings and outcomes, and honestly just have a good time with those who like to write. Story +SMASHing = best recipe for my interest. Open to either option but will respond according to what has me most engaged at the time.

No yaoi; all male friends are for story related writing and shitting around.
[ Main Timeline AU ]
Things that are different:
-- Students are entering U.A. at 18 instead of 14, making it an institute of higher learning / hero prep, and the students have been following a prep school program to gain admission opportunity beforehand.
-- Deku never gave up on his dream of entering U.A., but had been studying under a prep program to be a support item developer hoping that he could become a hero in his own way until he met All Might when reaching out to Bakugo one year before entering U.A. This has given Deku 6 months of prep and 6 months of training to start learning to utilize OFA starting him at about 5-10% in fluctuations.
-- I'm using the DAD FOR ALL theory for this AU. Simply because I think it would be ironic and rather poetic that Shigaraki, the grandson of All Might's teacher was used to be groomed into a destructive villain, and unknowingly the son of the greatest villain groomed to be the next great hero would give them more tangible parallels. It also fleshes out some of the earlier moments of AFO having direct knowledge of Midoriya without mentions of him previously, making his later obsession with connecting to his brother interesting by adding another bloodline tie that he may have seen as defective suddenly having everything he desires. It also makes more sense to Deku being born Quirkless since he would be a second generation Quirk User.
-- Rather than condensing the story into one academic year, the story will follow in various segments over the course of years. Starting off the timeline will be similar to the event of the main continuity except allowing them to become 2nd years. During year 2, the class will then deal with the first major war arc and everything leading up to it where they find a resounding defeat that creates a Vigilante Arc. Hero Society has taken a drastic blow and faith in the system has become less fufilling. Deku and All Might go under the radar to continue his training while making hit and run tactics to stay outside for AFO and Shigaraki's grasp, but also have been kept away from his friends in U.A. This period will last a few months before Deku leaves Japan under Stars and Stripes protection, being guided to a traveling base where David and Melissa Shield will be his supporters in America trying to help him train and stay away long enough to return to Japan and liberate it with the help of his former friends. Deku will then return to Japan between 20 and 21 to create a Rebellion Arc where he reunites with his friends and begins to take the fight back to the villains, trying to steadily reignite the faith in people that heroes are still there while looking to change the fundamental flaws of their society.
-- Shoot Style will be utilized and developed more along with other support gear for Deku, and will probably have other heroes or even RP interactions work on training him in martial arts that could have guided his combat technique to a higher level.
-- Deku will still be a teacher at U.A in the timeskip but keep his quirk. Giving the ending with Shigi/AFO a different flavor.
-- Because I am using the Dad For All Theory, the Quirk Singularity between DEKU, His Uncle's Quirk, and the Current OFA shapes and morphs the power to truly becoming his quirk. Registering the DNA of the original gifter and user within Deku and allowing him to adapt and grow into the various powers within. Would love to find a Shigi to do a true, high octane final fight or skirmishes in this setting.
Other AU Ideas:
Vigilante Deku: From the start he tinkering around with support items to try and become a vigilante, struggling to exercise his body to keep up with his mind, and utilizes his knowledge on quirks to make the best make-shift equipment he can until it encapsulates into the Iron Deku Concept.
Harem Academia: For the more erotic focused content, All the Smash, all the time.
