AU where Jin was found and put to good use by the HPSC before he became a notorious robber? :'D
~Send Me An AU And I’ll Give You Five Headcanons About It~
Good AU!!! But I ended up not doing headcanons, but more 100-words drabbles. Sorry!

Age 17, and Jin messed up his first robbery by becoming a hero.
Among the customers in the bank he targeted was a toddler whose panic caused her quirk to manifest - a strong electrokinesis. She overloaded every circuit in the vicinity; a fire started, quickly consuming the building.
Jin’s first instinct was to run. Only an idiot would stay. Turns out that’s exactly what he was, stupid beyond measure. But the cries for help were so loud, and the Heroes that should be here for them were so slow—
He made a hundred clones, and saved all one hundred lives.

Okay, so that was exaggerated - it wasn’t a hundred lives, it was forty-three (forty-eight if you counted the fish tank he hauled out as well).
That was still enough to make everyone scratch their heads, confused whether to call Jin a Villain who got an unimpressive, last-minute, baseline conscience, or a misguided kid who had shown his true heart and redeemed himself. All across the nation, whether on the internet or a talk show or a legal petition, people debated over his actions and what he deserved.
What to do with Bubaigawara Jin? The question on everyone’s mind.
HPSC answered.

They sent his lawyer away. They sent everyone away, actually, leaving just him and the Hero Public Safety Commission people in the small, airless room.
One year before, in another room just like that, the course of Jin’s life had been irrevocably changed by a few spoken words and several sheets of paper. Once again now, the rest of his life would be decided the same way. Yes, no; sign here, fingerprint, there. Good, good; and we’re done.
(Power, real power, Jin realized, had little to do with quirks.)
When they asked him to be a Hero, he said yes.

Nagant was the coolest girl he’d ever met, and the first, bestest friend he ever had. She told jokes that made him laugh, she gave tips that helped improve his form after kicking his butt in training, and she stayed with him until he stopped vomiting after he made his first kill.
“Aren’t we Heroes?” Jin mumbled. The porcelain of the toilet bowl was no longer a cool relief to his forehead; he had rested his head there so long he warmed it up. Hell-hot to the touch like the rest of him.
Soft and somber, Nagant answered. “That’s why.”

HPSC sent him because everyone knew of Pro-Hero Twice and his story.
Shigaraki Tomura didn’t buy it.
“This is wasting everyone’s time, both your Commission and mine.” He said, his single visible red eye staring Jin down. “What a bunch of spying rat crap...
“Most of it, at least.” Shigaraki huffed. “They never did trusted you enough to let you free, huh?”
Bitter words. Something about them tugged at Jin; made him reconsider the boy in front of him. He reconsidered himself, all he’d ever done.
“…I was a Villain.” Jin said, finally. “I think that’s what I’ve always been.”
