In a world where heroes and villains clash in an eternal battle for justice, a new force emerges from the shadows. Kuro Kage, known as "Shadowflare," is a mysterious anti-hero with a black and red aura that strikes fear into the hearts of both heroes and villains. Unlike most heroes, Kuro never attended U.A. High School. Instead, he learned the harsh realities of life on the streets, honing his skills in the shadows.
With his unique Quirk, "Abyssal Embers," Kuro wields dark flames that can consume anything in their path, leaving behind only ashes and red embers. His past is shrouded in mystery, but his presence is undeniable. Kuro's quest for vengeance against those who wronged him leads him into a tangled web of secrets, corruption, and betrayal within the hero society.
When Kuro crosses paths with Izuku Midoriya and the aspiring heroes of Class 1-A, he disrupts the status quo. His unconventional methods and ruthless tactics challenge their ideals, forcing them to reconsider what it truly means to be a hero. As Kuro confronts powerful foes and uncovers hidden truths, he must decide whether to embrace his darker instincts or find a way to reclaim a sense of justice.
Will Shadowflare become the beacon of hope the world needs, or will his embers of defiance burn everything to the ground?
Join Kuro on his journey through the shadows, where every choice could mean the difference between redemption and ruin.

Void heart of a true hero ( Various!Bnha x fem!OC)
Most people at U.A. High know what it means to be a hero: strength, bravery, sacrifice. Kurai Hinode knows what it means to be a weapon. At five years old, she watched her father die-slaughtered before her eyes by the very man who would chain her life in darkness. Then, her mother was gone too when she was 8. Taken by All For One, Kurai was molded in silence and shadows, trained not to protect, but to observe, deceive, and steal. For nine years, she moved like a ghost beneath the hero society-always watching, never seen. Until one mission changed everything. The Pro Heroes finally found her. Or rather , one specific hero, currently known as a Symbol of Peace. Yes. He was the one that helped her. Rescued her. Gave her a second chance. U.A. High is full of bright, loud, hopeful people. People who smile easily, who talk without fear. Kurai is not like them. She's quiet. Distant. Always watching for danger, even when none is there. The students keep their distance. The teachers are cautious. Whispers follow her like a second shadow. But beneath the cold exterior, there is still something soft. Something kind. A girl who never stopped loving, even when the world gave her no reason to. A heart that wants to heal-if someone would just reach for it. With a powerful Quirk-Void Manipulation-and a past that clings like a shadow, Kurai struggles to prove she's more than what All For One made her. She was made to be a ghost. A spy. A weapon. Now, she has to figure out how to be real. And in a world of heroes and villains, Kurai Hinode must decide: who is she when no one is pulling the strings? !!! I do not own My Hero Academia. Only my three OCs. All credit goes to Kōhei Horikoshi!!!

Known only by her hero name-Black Veil-her full strength and tragic past are shrouded in secrecy. Her quirk, Ashborn, grants her immense power and the haunting curse of resurrection through grief, and transformation into the Black Phoenix.

Among them, one stands out: Hawks. His wings of red clash and complement her own, and together, they discover something more powerful than quirks-love. But peace is a fleeting luxury. When the League of Villains ambush her and sever her wings to display them as trophies, Black Veil is grounded in more ways than one. Through recovery, rebirth, and the deepening ties to her students and Hawks, she rises again-stronger, fiercer, and with a legacy that cannot be silenced. With the world turning against her, students standing in her defense, and war threatening to consume everything, Black Veil must confront her past, reclaim her wings, and face a final trial that will determine the fate of heroes everywhere. A sweeping tale of power, love, legacy, and sacrifice-Wings of Flame is a character-driven epic that redefines what it means to be a symbol of peace.

YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE | BNHA X MALE OC
In a society built on Quirks, where children dream of becoming heroes, Kurai Akuma simply exists, not chasing glory, nor clinging to purpose. Withdrawn and sharp-tongued, Kurai is the only one in his class with no ambition, no chosen path, and no interest in pretending otherwise. To him, the hero course is just another system trying to shape people into something they're not. But when strange encounters begin to pierce the stillness of his quiet life. From tense conversations to late-night shadows and quiet observers . Kurai is pulled into questions he's long tried to ignore. About power. About fear. And about whether the path we choose... is ever really our own. A story of silence, shadows and the weight of expectations, where not every hero wears the title, and not every villain is born with intent. [DISCLAIMER: My Hero Academia is owned by Kohei Horikoshi.

Mist and Matchsticks
Originally, I wrote a story with this OC and wanted to post it but didn't feel that the reader had the opportunity to really know who he was as a character since it took place when they were adults. So, I am now writing this story as a sort of lore dump of this OC and his experiences through the MHA plot. Mist and Matchsticks: In a world bursting with flashy quirks and heroes, Kuro Tsukihara prefers shadows over spotlights. Quiet, distant, and cloaked in a quirk called Void Veil, he slips into the ranks of U.A. High with no intention of standing out or getting close to anyone. But fate has other plans. Mostly following the plot of MHA, this slow-burn BL story follows Kuro's reluctant journey through the trials of hero training, villain attacks, and the chaos of Class 1-A. As he navigates unwanted attention, unexpected friendships, and his own emotional walls, he finds himself drawn to the explosive character. Full of sarcasm, tension, cozy hoodies, maybe some romance, and emotional damage with a goth boy at its heart. I do not own MHA or any of the characters aside from the OC and the changes to the story. MHA is owed by Kohei Horikoshi. Rated Mature due to language used and violence! Will not include lemons or anything until the second book when they are older.![Stuck With You | Katsuki Bakugou x OC [Book One Of Three]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/275471197-256-k193829.jpg)

shattered life: REBORN
Some lives aren't just broken by betrayal; they are obliterated, leaving behind nothing but ghosts and echoes of what could have been. Shattered Life: REBURN begins in that abyss. When all hope is lost, a man emerges from the shadows. He is a collector of the ruined, an enigmatic stranger who offers the shattered souls a dangerous proposition: not to forget their pain, but to master it. To take the very poison that destroyed them and turn it into the cure. Under his tutelage, they embark on a brutal journey of self-discovery, where every scar is a lesson and every memory a potential weapon. But the architect of their new lives has his own ghosts, and the price for his guidance remains unspoken. They are on a path to rebirth, but it is a path that leads through the heart of darkness itself. Will they rise from the ashes, or will they be consumed by the flames a second time?
