Universe: My Hero Academia

Name: Izuku Yagi

Quirk: Bone Carver 

Description of Quirk: The user is able to summon an invincible bone dagger at anytime. If the user loses the bone dagger at anytime, they can summon it back to them at anytime by extending their arm out and opening their hand. The dagger is able to pierce and carve any material no matter how durable. If anyone besides the specific user tries to use the bone dagger, it will shatter upon impact with any surface. 

Using this dagger, the user can carve runes, sigils, seals, and other symbols into any surface in their surroundings, altering the properties of their environment. The user can also carve these same symbols into his own skin which grants the user various abilities depending on the carving. The carvings can stay on the user's skin for as long as the user wants.

The user also has a healing factor as a result of their quirk. The user can lose limbs like arms and legs and even significant body tissue and muscle and regenerate it within a short period of time, however, it should be noted that the healing factor does not make the user immune to pain or makes the user immortal. 

Ship: Izuku x Mitsuki Bakugo; Kaina Tsutsumi, and Beros 

Description of Idea: Izuku Yagi was wandering through the ghettos of Musutafu, a poor, run-down, and crime-ridden area of town whose inhabitants are a mixture of quirkless people, people with extreme mutant quirks, or people whose quirks are labeled as villainous by society. So why was an early teenager like Izuku wandering through such a dangerous part of town? Simple, he was done. He is done with enduring dehumanizing verbal abuse and neglect at home, all because he is viewed as worthless and as a disgrace by his parents because of his "villainous" quirk. He is also fed up with enduring the inhumane verbal and physical abuse at school and from the people that once stupidly believed were his friends.

In short, after dealing with such callous treatment by everyone around him, Izuku decided he would much instead run away and try to make some sort of life for himself in the slums of Musutafu rather than spend another second in putrid excuse of a home. So, now here Izuku was, with a couple of hundred thousand yen in his pocket that he gained from selling All Might that he collected before his fourth birthday, trying to find someplace to crash for the night before trying to find some sort of job the following day. However, his search for a place to sleep would be interrupted by the sound of a high-pitched call for help coming from a nearby alleyway.

Izuku, as if his legs moved on his own, immediately ran over to check out the source of the screaming. Upon entering the hallway, he saw a rather tall woman with fox-like traits being surrounded by four thugs. Izuku then noticed that part of the girl's shirt and pants had been ripped off, indicating they were trying to assault the fox-like woman.

Izuku, without even taking time to think of a concrete plan of attack, charged in to try to protect the fox lady from her potential assistants. Despite knowing he was well outnumbered, Izuku knew that no heroes or police officers would arrive soon to stop the thugs, given the part of town where the incident was taking place, so the green-haired boy knew that he was likely the only one who could try to save this fox woman from being assaulted.

With a flame of determination ignited, Izuku summoned a bone dagger out of seemingly nowhere. The four thugs were on guard as they prepared for Izuku to charge at them with the dagger, but much to their and the fox girl's surprise, Izuku began carving a symbol that looked like a fist on one of the stone walls of the alleyway.

Three of the four thugs then charged at Izuku, aiming to kill him before he could attack. However, the three thugs were soon nailed and knocked unconscious by a giant stone fist that popped out the wall, specifically from the same spot on the wall where Izuku etched the symbol just a few seconds earlier. 

The one remaining thug was stunned at what he just witnessed the green-haired boy do. He then noticed that Izuku looked like he was carving something else, but this time on his right hand. Both the thug and the fox woman's eyes widened in horror at seeing the green-haired efficiently carve a symbol into his skin without looking like he was in the slightest amount of pain as if the boy did not feel pain at all or was utterly used to it. Izuku then raised his right hand in the air to reveal that he had carved a symbol representing lightning on his right hand.

The thug saw that if he did not act quickly and kill Izuku, he was about to be fried. He ran towards Izuku, his nails extending into sharp claws due to his quirk, and intended to slash the green-haired boy's throat. 

However, he was too late. Izuku launched a blast of yellow lightning, electrocuting the thug and blasting him into the back wall of the alleyway. 

The fox girl was shocked at not only how quickly this green-haired boy, who looked to be about fourteen years old, knocked out the four thugs but also how the boy was so quick to hurt himself if it meant he would be able to defeat the thugs. The fox girl then saw the green-haired boy approach her; the girl flinched due to nerves as she did not know what precisely the boy's intentions were, but her doubts about the boy's intentions were quickly cleared when Izuku proceeded to take off his shirt and hand it to her, suggesting that she use it to cover up the torn area of her shirt until she gets back home. 

Unbeknownst to Izuku or the fox lady a vigilante was watching the scene from a nearby rooftop. The vigilante had long, messy black hair and a sharp, pointed tongue. He wore a combat outfit with bandages wrapped around his arms, spiked boots, and a long, torn red scarf. 

The vigilante could not help but smirk at witnessing the green-haired boy's actions

The vigilante could not help but smirk at witnessing the green-haired boy's actions. Not only did he take immediate action to protect a person in need of help, but he was also ruthless and not above significantly hurting a criminal or injuring himself if it meant saving someone. In the vigilante's eyes, this boy had the qualities of a true hero.

"Looks like I finally found my protege." The vigilante said to himself
