You, whoever you are, have probably seen me before. You wouldn't know it though.
Why?
It's because I have a thousand faces. I can change my appearance in seconds, and I can't put my power to waste.
They tried to make me a weapon. They made me forget who I am. They are trying to destroy everything. I can't sit back and let them win.
They can give powers to others, but I will keep fighting.
I fight with my power.
I fight as a face in the crowd.

FACELESS
[Originally written in 2017 for an assignment; expanded and reworked overtime, though eventually I decided this was as far as I was going to go with it. Hope you like it!] As is customary when one reaches twelve years of age, the Order has manufactured your very own Face. As all Faces are created uniquely for the individual, operating based on DNA given to the Order by your kind doctors and physicians, it is required that you wear your Face as often as you can (excluding meals and sleep) to ensure maximum results. Such results, as you may know, include the following: -increased intellect -increase in motor skills/capabilities -drop in anxiety, depression, mood swings...etc. etc. -regulated impulse control to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you -regulated mood to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you * Note that Face technology, while it does improve mental and emotional stability, will not and cannot help or fix physical disabilities, nor can it fix serious mental disabilities. See your local doctor to receive treatment for such ailments, as your Face is incapable of doing so. Your Face, as you may have heard, will be your new identity from this day forward. You cannot go anywhere without it. Damage or loss of your Face or anyone else's Face will lead to severe consequences. Neglect to wear it, or refusal to wear it, will result in punishment.Complete
Nimrah
I want to belong. But being me... makes it difficult. Anywhere I go I stand out. And just when I think I've found my place... Nope. Even at the Society I'm a freak. I'm sick of it. Still I don't have anywhere else to go. Nowhere else is safe. I have to stay at the Society... I have to keep "safe." But what if I wasn't really protected at the Society either? I wish I was just human... This snow leopard shape-shifting thing may sound awesome, but it's not.Complete
Elarayne - What Am I?
The legends tell of mystical creatures with unnatural powers. They can change into any form to hunt their prey. The humans call them 'shapeshifters'. It is told that they're humans practising the forbidden arts of magic using the blood of every being in the world. Nobody has seen them for centuries but the legend remains. In every legend you find truth. In this world the humans have created themselves an empire. The kings and lords rule over their land. The peasants live their poor life and the priests pray to god. But in this empire there is war. Bloody war for more land to rule over. My name is Elena Dregones. I live in this world of war, death, pain and hunger. Life hasn't been very kind to me. When I was young I lost my memory after an accident. I remember nothing from my early life. I don't have a family. The only person I can trust is my best friend Alexander Senogerd. We live together in a broken hut. We haven't got any money. We're lower than the peasants. We're nothing.Complete

SYMBOL
Quirks, the evolutionary advancement of human evolution. The next step in human history to become better than what they were before but that was just hopeful wishing. Since the dawn of quirks, humans started losing their humanity. They valued quirks as if they are what determines where people stand in society and if you don't have a quirk you'd live a life full of torment, torture and just plain cruelty. A boy was born in a corrupted world and he was unfortunate enough to be born quirkless. He has seen the horrors of how humans treat the less fortunate, those who are quirkless, who have weak quirks, mutation quirks and quirks that are considered villainous. He wanted to change the outlook of how society became, so he planned on becoming something that could change the world. He would become a SYMBOL (Something messed with my book and wiped my description and tags so I had to re-do it) A/N: I really don't know how to write a description.

Underestimated (MHA x Male Reader)
A MHA x Reader Insert story. You were born with a very unique quirk. A quirk with a lot of mystery. What it lacked in power, it more than made up for in resourcefulness. As a child, this quirk helped you make friends and kept you the center of attention. Unfortunately, people never saw what it was really capable of. So, after reaching junior high, it was viewed as useless. You were told repeatedly that you could never be a Hero. But you're not a quitter. You will prove them wrong. NOTE: Much of this fanfic is written from a first person perspective of the Reader Character. This is for the sake of immersion. You may or may not enjoy that perspective. Thanks. I do not own My Hero Academia, it's characters, or any of the images in the chapters. 8/27/23 #2 in mha #2 in malereader 4/23/24 #1 in class1a 5/13/24 #1 in boku 6/29/24 #2 in quirk 9/9/24 #1 in malereader 12/23/24 #3 in anime 12/28/24 #1 in mhaxreader 1/14/25 #1 in insert 12/18/25 #1 in bnha
Digit (A Mina Ashido X Male Reader Fanfic)
Technology. A simple word, isn't it? Well... Not really. It can be anything. Your phones, your PC, or any other device you're using to read this description. BUT... It doesn't end there. Televisions, radios, refrigerators, ovens, blah blah blah, the list goes on and on. Pretty cool, huh? Well, now, let's think of technology in a fictional world. Or even better, a fictional world, where people have gone through mutations in their very genes, giving them specific "inhumane" abilities... Coined as "quirks". In the light of such mutations, people started to bring their dreams to realities, and the concept of "heroes" and "villains" came up. Such genetic mutations spread all around and now, the mutated people, or, "quirked" people, make up about 80 percent of all human life on this fricking earth! Getting back to the point, technology surely has MUCH MORE influence and practical use in this world. Now, imagine the power to control this technology. Or, having a quirk that allows you to do so. Let's join each other and follow the journey of a young man named Y/N Colomar, who has this specific quirk. Like any other kid his age, he wants to be a hero. He just wants to help others, and see people's smiles at the end of the day. The only issue is... The dude is a complete shy introvert. Best rankings: 01/08/2024: #1 in #malereaderinsert
Twilight (MHA x M! OC insert)
In a world where 80% of the population has developed unique mutations in their genetic codes, giving them "superpowers", or "quirks", as they call it, it doesn't take long for fantasy and imagination to emerge out of the earth. And further, it doesn't take long for roles of "Heroes" and "Villains" to rise up as well. But... Who coins one as a "hero" or a "villain"...? The person themselves...? Or the people around them...? Light... Dark... Dusk... Dawn... Two sides of the same coin... Twilight... --- Kageyama Kazuma is a 16 year old boy, aspiring to follow his late father's footsteps, and become a hero who saves people. But... Not all can go as planned, or wished, right? So was the case for Kazuma as well, as his quirk soon found itself being held accountable for Kazuma being coined the word "villain" by those around him, before he could even begin his journey to becoming a hero. His only light in this darkness being his mother, is willing to do whatever it takes to keep that smile she treasures so much to never leave the boy's face. But... Being a human at the end of the day, she can only do so much. Follow Kageyama through his journey to becoming one of the greatest heroes in the entirety of Japan. What awaits him on this journey? Friends? Love? Hardships? That's for you to find out. [This is a rework of my first book ever, "What It Means To Be A Hero"] --- I do not own any claims/rights to the My Hero Academia verse, all rights go to Kosei Horikoshi. I only own the original characters I've added to the story, and the arts I add in the book. In case the art doesn't belong to me, I'll credit the said person in the comments. Peace.

The Guardian of One For All (MHA x Male Reader)
A world where 80% of the entire population get these abilities, known as and named 'Quirks'. The fantasy of heroes and villains became reality... But what about the remaining 20%? Well, that's the problem. The remaining 20% of the population never got Quirks, and as a result, were appropriately named 'Quirkless'. There would be no hope of them becoming heroes, right? But what happens when a phenomenon is Quirkless? This'll (probably lol) be a Mina x Male Reader story... I don't own MHA or its story, nor do I own its characters. Of course, there will be custom characters that I have added in.
