Character Name: Izuku Midoriya Series: My Hero Academia Timeline: Chapter 286 Canon Resource Links:Izuku on the wiki! Personality: Izuku Midoriya’s dream was to become the greatest hero. But then, he was born without a Quirk. And those without Quirks in a world of superheroes…can’t become great heroes.
Izuku had it tough when he was growing up as every child around him started manifesting Quirks, superpowers individual to each person, while he remained Quirkless. At the age of four, the doctor finally declared him to be Quirkless, dashing any hopes he’d had of becoming a great hero in the future. But despite all of this…Izuku wasn’t going to give up. He was determined to surpass even what was thought to be impossible.
Having been bullied mercilessly as a child for not having a Quirk, Izuku tends to be timid and a bit shy, though he’s constantly helpful to a fault. He’s polite and kind even in the face of adversity, which more often than not earned him more ire than if he’d tried to fight back. He was insecure because he was falling behind his peers. These traits were amplified before he received his Quirk- One for All- from the Number 1 Hero All Might, a person he’d idolized as a child and his sole reason for wanting to become a hero in the first place. Despite eventually receiving a Quirk, however, Izuku then had to work twice as hard to quickly gain some level of control over his new power so that he could actually go to school to train to become a Professional Hero. This resulted in him training himself intensively for 10 months to prepare for an entrance exam, showing his fierce determination to not allow the opportunity to slip through his fingers.
He is very intelligent and a quick thinker, tending to get lost in his own thoughts. He has a habit of mumbling to himself when he’s trying to think of something or work out a sort of strategy, but this is one of the things that Izuku excels the most at. Despite his originally shaky control of his given Quirk, Izuku was and still is able to compensate for his lack of experience by being able to think very quickly on his feet, taking into account every detail of a situation before he formulates a plan to tackle it. He isn’t one to give up either, prepared to go through whatever it takes to see his plan to fruition, which at times leads to Izuku being a bit impulsive and rash. Even if he has good intentions, he’ll often rush into a situation headlong without thinking about the consequences- mainly to his own self, often getting himself hurt for the sake of saving another. He has a very strong sense of justice and is constantly concerned with acting in a way that a “hero” would. Izuku is also very emotional and emphatic, and very often he’ll break down into tears if he gets overwhelmed with emotion whether it be positive or negative. He’ll cry when he’s overjoyed or when he’s devastated. There’s really no situation that’s exempt from being subject to his emotions, because he has quite a few of them.
Izuku has shown to be very strongly devoted to and passionate about the things he cares for the most, and in particular this happens to be All Might himself. He is incredibly devoted to the hero as he’s had the biggest impact on him growing up, being the main source of his ideals and beliefs in regards to what it means to be a hero. He has collected practically every piece of merchandise produced for All Might, has poured over all videos and documentaries about him, and even copies his fighting style and naming conventions for moves when he inherits One for All. It gets to a point where Izuku realizes that he needs to make the Quirk his own and tailor his style of fighting to be something his own body can handle instead of letting his admiration for All Might control all of the decisions he makes with it.
Though Izuku is normally kind and caring, he has a tendency to show his more aggressive side particularly when in combat. He’s shown himself to get frustrated and agitated if a situation isn’t going as planned, though he’s never quick to jump to anger. Instead of anger, he turns to a strong, unwavering drive to succeed, whether succeeding means saving someone or defeating the villain he is up against. A lot of this manifests in him due to the fact that he looks up very strongly to his childhood friend Bakugou Katsuki, who he considers to be the picture of victory, resulting in him somewhat mimicking Bakugou’s tendency to be loud and brash while fighting. It isn’t terribly often that this side comes out in Izuku due to him consciously trying to always keep it in check.
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Trainer Starter: Eevee Reasoning: A big part of Izuku as a character is the fact that he was born Quirkless. He originally had no special abilities compared to the rest of his peers. Ever since inheriting One For All, he's been made to prove his worth in being granted such immense power by training and pushing himself to limits that others like him never had to since they had Quirks of their own from birth. I like the idea of giving Izuku an Eevee for several reasons, but the first relates to this idea of Eevee being an average Pokemon with infinite potential that can be reached with the right type of training. The second reason is the fact that OFA is actually multiple Quirks in one, each added to its power from one of the previous holders. I think this would be a neat contrast to Eevee's ability to evolve into many different forms, just like Izuku having access to multiple abilities. Password: Atomic Fireball
(Let me know if this works, if not I can find a more suitable one since the game it comes from is a horror game and definitely different from VR. I had a more relaxed one but it was just skirting the four month limit unfortunately)
Victory Road Sample: Midoriya Izuku's reverie was broken by two furry paws excitedly bapping themselves against his collarbone, clearly vying for his undivided attention.
"Evu-!!" His Eevee cried with a wag of his fluffy tail, having finally managed to convince his trainer to pry his eyes from the notebook he'd been furiously scribbling in for the past half hour. It had taken a considerable pause- during which Izuku had been chewing on the end of his pencil, deep in thought about one thing or another- for him to find the opportunity, but once it revealed itself it was very quickly snagged. With a soft smile, Izuku lowered his pencil and ruffled the top of Eevee's head with his free hand, looking apologetic.
"Ah, I'm sorry...I hadn't realized how long I'd been working. Here, do you want to see my notes so far?"
Never one to pass up a chance to be the lap-Pokemon he was born to be, Eevee slid backward into the nook created in the way Izuku had been crossing his legs, settling down among the fluff of his neck and tail with a pleased chirp. From there, it was easy for him to look as Izuku lifted up the notebook in front of him, giving him a good view of what he'd been writing for the last while. It seemed to be a detailed list of all of the Pokemon he'd seen on the route he and his travel group had been passing through, which seemed silly given the fact that he had a Pokedex to automatically keep track of all of that for him...but the notebook had things the Pokedex lacked, such as details about the individual specimens they'd come across, little doodles of them, and even anecdotes about things that had occurred upon their sighting.
"If we're going to be trying to challenge one of the gyms for the first time, we're going to need to keep training to be prepared," he started to explain, leaning back against the inner canvas of the tent he'd pitched for the night. "And these Pokemon are the ones we'll be fighting to get ready."
"Eee..." Eevee huffed, looking up at Izuku until the boy broke down into nervous chuckles, scratching the side of his cheek with one finger.
"Okay...maybe I just wanted to document them into my notes too, but it's going to be useful for later, I promise!"
That at least seemed to be enough to satisfy his starter, who reached a paw out to pat the surface of the paper in front of his nose. Specifically patting the image of one of the Pokemon Izuku had drawn. It only took him a moment to realize why, given the determined twitching of Eevee's tail and the way he was staring intently at the drawing.
Smiling, he scratched Eevee gently between the ears one more time before returning to his notes with a sigh, "Guess you're already ready, huh? I don't know why I was so worried..."
