Nicky (lastname lol) is a 25 year old who just moved to Japan from America, where they attended a hero school in their late high school years. During the second year of school there was an incident, which I’ve yet to come up with the details for, but, the incident was the final time they acted as a (non official, student) hero. It left the right side of their body weakened and scarred, and gave them a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that greatly affected their quirk.

Their quirk is Shapeshift! They could change into people, animals, and even fictional ‘monsters’, as long as it was supposedly living and not a cup or chair they could change into it. Yes, including bigfoot and god zilla but they never did, that’s not their style 😂 After the TBI it’s like their quirk was locked away, they can no longer manually use it. It’s an imaginative and analytical quirk, it takes a lot of brain power. Now, it only activates if their emotions are strong enough. Thought it would take a long time, they fully have the ability to harness that change and continue hero work but their body is too broken to be doing any running, jumping, rolling- you name it.

Because they cannot be a pro hero they are a babysitter! Nicky has always adored working with kids and taken care of them. He only wishes he could play with them, run around with them, toss em in the air, like he used to young members of his family before the incident.

Nicky and Izuku met randomly, quickly, when Nicky almost fell onto train tracks in an underground subway. Izuku reached out, grabbing whichever arm he could, which was unfortunately Nicky’s bad arm, and pulled them back to safety. There was a minor altercation in the subway, a man wouldn’t leave a woman alone, and of course Nicky knew he had to at least step in and attempt to help the woman out. The man told him to “mind your business” and pushed him back, which is what nearly landed him on the tracks. (“Why didnt Izuku save the woman from the man” he just got to the subway, he was running late and witnessed the end of the altercation 😤!!)

After that Izuku personally took Nicky to the hospital, he felt responsible for the pain be caused their bad arm. He called other heroes to take his place in helping the woman and dealing with the man.

From then on Izuku made it his personal mission to check on Nicky while they were admitted, and encouraged them to do physical therapy. After leave, Izuku still went to check up on Nicky, he learned they were hero and was completely interested in what their quirk could be.

And then from there is just stories I make up in my head on how they get closer 😋
