Bnha au!!
team e-scope r their own types of villains and the other cast r students of ua
alenoah angst?? 😛
Villain team E-scope+ heroes+ alenoah angst in the bnha universe? You got it!
I think I'm going to keep all might and all for one but that's about it, mainly for narrative reasons since I can't think of characters to replace them and I don't really feel like coming up with OCs. So they're Canadian now, so is UA.
Actually yeah, I think I'm just replacing the main characters (1-A and a couple of pro heroes like endeavour and Aizawa) in this. So let's just say that because of a quirk centuries ago, certain countries got merged together like Japan and Canada (Japanada lol), England and India etc
Like in Bnha, they start off in their first year. So the list of those at UA at the beginning of the year (Inc quirks):
Class 1-A (hero course)
Owen- fat absorption- fatgums quirk, he can absorb kinetic energy when attacked and release it as his own attack
Alejandro- somnambulist- midnight's quirk, he releases an aroma that causes sleep/drowsiness all depending on how attracted the other person/people are to him
DJ- frosting+ one for all- originally his quirk is that he can harden and soften frosting but when he gets OFA, it's upgraded to other sugar based substances. Then there's the added strength from OFA
Geoff- airwalk- he can solidify air and walk on it, though he can only solidify small areas at a time
Cody- sugar rush- when ingesting sugar, he can increase his agility, speed and stamina
Justin- statue- can turn himself into an impenetrable stone statue at will
Harold- superglue- his sweat can be used as glue, he can control the viscosity and strength of the glue
Tyler- magnetic force- he can manipulate the magnetic force between two objects
Ezekiel- omnilinguism- can understand any language spoken to him, including animals
Trent- melody- when he sings, he can create illusions that hold unless struck with excessive force
Bridgette- water control- can control a mass of water to a certain extent within a specific weight limit
Sierra- love- can offer a 1.5% boost to anyone she loves and professes this to (like la brava's quirk which was so underrated)
Leshawna- enlargement- she can enlarge parts of her body at will
Katie - weight- can alter the weight of those she touches
Sadie - gravity- can alter the gravity in a specific radius
Lindsay - shockwave- she can cause a shockwave just by clapping (well, it's actually whenever she hits something but she thinks it's only clapping)
Beth- Chimera- she can take on the attributes of 3 animals at once for 5 minutes
Heather- hair manipulation- she can manipulate the strength and length of her hair
Gwen- bat- it's literally just a bat mutation, like ears and wings etc
Courtney- accuracy- as long as she can see a target, any projectile she releases will hit it
1-F (Support course)
Noah- analysis - able to analyse a person
Teachers
Chris- voice- can manipulate the strength of his vocal chords meaning there is no limit to the volume or pitch he can reach (principal)
Chef- null- can nullify the effects of quirks within a certain radius, depending on what the quirk is (heroics/law teacher, 1-A homeroom teacher)
Blaineley- sparkle- she can create small patches of light (like sparkles) that vary in strength (art teacher/heroic persona consultant)
Molotov- IQ- Nedzu but actually just a bear, he has a high IQ and acts like a human (languages teacher, 1-F homeroom teacher)
Hero's POV
So the USJ is where they are introduced to Duncan (Quirk- spontaneous combustion, he can combust flammable liquids within a given area) as one of the minor villains, he gets taken in as one of 1-A for rehabilitation because of Courtney.
This is also where the idea of a traitor is revealed and the dorms are brought into play. This is mainly because Chris is more reactive than Nedzu is and more likely to want to save face.
The sports festival is where Noah is introduced. Afterwards, he is the one they visit for costume upgrades and quirk advice. Alejandro becomes fast friends with him during this time while he tries to find a costume that would work and not hinder his quirk. Heather wins the festival.
Stain arc includes DJ, Duncan and Harold. Hawk arrives instead of Endeavour and his feathers are able to catch fire.
The training camp arc is where they are introduced to Izzy (current alias- E-scope Quirk- Kitsune, power of a Kitsune including transformation although she currently only has 2 tails), a villain (instead of Dabi) attacking the camp with the LOV. She is fighting Owen, Beth and Trent when she gets sent back to the base. Courtney and Heather are kidnapped.
At the Kamino ward arc, after All Might finally loses OFA and the dust has settled, they find out that AFO has gone missing.
AFO turns up dead a couple days later. Not long after, the rest of the LOV (apart from Izzy) are found tied up outside of a police office, unable to use their quirks properly.
At the same time as that, it is revealed that a certain support student has gone missing and when they looked into it, it turned out that all of 'his' records were falsified.
So how's that for Alenoah angst? You spend a lot of time getting to know someone and trusting them more than your hero classmates only for it to turn out they weren't even a real person. And then, the only thing left behind is a note in your dorm room saying sorry and a wig.
Alejandro vows to figure out who the hell 'Noah' really is, no matter what.
And then the Shie Hassaikai Arc happens, a sudden influx of information on the Shie Hassaikai is brought to the heroes in charge of the case out of nowhere, including about Eri.
This is where they're introduced to Eva (current alias- iron woman Quirk- dragon, has the ability to transform into a dragon and has dragon attributes like impenetrable skin) at the yakuza compound, working for Overhaul. At the end of the fight, the quirk destroying bullets are destroyed and neither Eva or Eri are accounted for. Overhaul is sent to Tartarus.
And then, the main deviation.
After the fall of the Shie Hassaikai, there is an emergence of three villains taking advantage of the chaos caused by the power vacuum of Overhaul's, All Might's and AFO's defeat.
Team E-scope- origins
As anyone who's seen bnha knows, the hero public safety commission is corrupt.
So, as well as the 'hero training' programme, the president at the time wanted to ensure that they could have perfect, ideal, powerful quirks at their disposal and what better way than manufacturing a quirk that could alter other quirks? The opportunity to make this into a reality was granted at All For One's initial 'defeat' which happens years earlier, he takes more time to recover and All Might is more cautious using his quirk for the first couple of years before using it like he did in cannon.
After the fight when they first assumed All For One was dead, they had collected blood and tissue from the scene of the fight. Then they experimented with it and as luck would have it, a woman with the perfect complementary quirk came into their employment. Amrita Devi, her quirk allowing her to alter small portions of another person's DNA like hair or eye colour.
After 8 failures, they finally manufactured a girl with the perfect quirk that they named Upgrade. Neha Devi Quirk- Upgrade- she can take up to 3 quirks at a time and alter (add to it, bind them, take away from) them slightly each time she takes them before returning the updated quirk to the user. It started with only being able to take one quirk at a time for a limited amount of time but grew more powerful with more use.
They used this on all of their 'trainees', updating their quirks to make them perfect for hero work, and any other... roles that needed filling.
The most successful results were from two other girls who they had started the 'updates' with within months of their quirk manifestation.
The first was Eva whose original quirk only allowed her to shift into a dragon with resistance to fire. Now she's able to actually breathe fire and manipulate it to a certain extent as well as shift specific parts of her body at a time, fly (wings) and regenerate (like how certain types of lizard can regrow tails but dialed up to eleven). She came into the commissions care while they were visiting orphanages for new trainees. Her parents had died in a villain attack weeks prior.
And then there was Izzy who was sold to the commission because her parents were scared of her and her quirk. Her quirk was originally a minor mind control but she had a natural fox mutation from her dad. Unlike her dad though, she was more driven by animal instincts. Her quirk was renamed kitsune when one of the 'upgrades' caused her to grow another tail that boosted her power. She has the basic powers of a Kitsune that get more powerful the more tails she grows.
So Neha was forced to overuse her quirk over and over again while Izzy and Eva were brought up as child soldiers.
If you haven't guessed yet, Hawks had his quirk 'upgraded' and renamed phoenix to make it seem more powerful. They still kept his hero name as Hawks for images sake since he had already debuted and caught a lot of attention.
So, the three girls ended up running away together, practically branding themselves as villains and traitors in the process. This is when they decide to completely overhaul the system, mainly with Izzy wanting to be the new president of the commission to change it completely as well as eventually the hero system itself. Unfortunately, because of their status as 'villains' they can't do this the normal way. Izzy then came up with the idea that the three lean into the villain label before turning everything on its head.
They start off as minor vigilantes and use this to keep an eye out for big players, like the rumours of the underground bogeyman and how the Yakuza is trying to create quirk destroying weapons. Then, after 2 years, they initiate their plans.
Eva is the first to go undercover working for the Yakuza. She starts off as a simple henchman before working her way up to being Eri's partial guard. Due to her past -having her quirk experimented on and the whole child soldier thing- plus her dragon hoarding tendencies, she becomes attached to Eri. The dragon guarding the princess.
Neha is the next to go undercover (as Noah) as the entrance exams for UA start. She's there for information on the hero side of things due to the hero school's strong connections with the hero commission, UA (mainly Chris) being one of their allies.
Then finally, Izzy goes undercover with the LOV when AFO starts getting more active with the plan to get rid of their main threat, and hopefully stealing his quirk for Neha to bind with so she can actually use the quirks she stores.
With their biggest threats out of the way, they start their plan for conquering the commission. But well, things don't always work out that easy, especially with the doctor and the meta liberation army on the loose as well as the commission doing whatever they can to keep their secrets secret... and then there's the fact that they've got to do all of this with a six year old Neha forged an identity for.
Oh, and to add even more drama, Alejandro's parents work for the commission and José (who is one of the big three at UA) had his quirk upgraded when he was younger as a favour to their father. Not that Alejandro about knows any of this of course. Boy is he in for one hell of a wild ride....
I wasn't expecting to stir up arguments with my art post. For sake of clarity, here are a few of Monty's unedited notes for his Beach episode. It was important to him to cram a lot of, "fun fun fun," into Volume 3 before they lost Pyrrha. The purpose of this episode was to allow breathing room for more characters to interact with each other, not for fan service.
An excerpt from his notes about what he wanted to accomplish with the Beach episode:
An excerpt of his writing from a scene on the ship, and with no surprise to anyone it started with a fight:
I know people like to assume, "Beach Episode," is synonymous with fanservice, lack of plot, and generally skippable filler content, which were exactly the sorts of preconceptions Monty wanted to challenge by going against the grain.
The introduction of Huangjin She (Gold Snake) and her rival, Hong She (Red Snake,) Pirate Queens who hailed from the same land as Lie Ren who were seeking to kidnap him. As usual Monty would make folders with a character's name, fill them with reference images and provide me with a list of priorities for design. I did not continue this work but perhaps the references can provide an idea for his vision with these scenes.

A collection of works I have done by request that were either published without credit or are no longer relevant.
Volume 2 Opening
The opening was made by the two of us with some compositing assistance from Shane. Inspirations were drawn from Naruto Shippuuden's 8th Opening and the Lightning Returns: FFXIII Special Effects Trailer. I don't recall for how long we worked at it, but the time stamps sure paint some kind of picture.

PLF Advisors: My Take on their Aliases, Bios and Quirks
Because why not celebrate this blog no longer being shadowbanned than by another list of MHA's most bizarrely handled Villains!~ Here is basically the names I thought up for most of them and tried to keep it in line with the whole 'religious' aspect of the MLA. Quirks are kind of based on vibes.
Advisorama Asks
Two from @shockersalvage that have been waiting for an inexcusably long time to one I just got from @plf-advisor-stan that is relevant to the theme. Included: Spinner's advisors, Bindi the Younger and The Question, and Scarecrow maybe has an actual name?!?

Unleashing this to One Piece Tumblr as an experiment
This is my Scratchmen Apoo genderbend, I call her Apei 🎧🎹
We’ve got one near-high end nomu we’ve seen a few times, and it has to be one of the weirdest looking ones
At least I hope it’s the same one, because I can not imagine this kind of physical mutation could be this common in the creation process
We first see it all hunched over in a dark cave next to AfO’s throne
Then we see it again as the heroes are counting their forces against the villains’
And finally we see it on the battlefield
Look at that face
I think the one on the back is it’s original face and the one on the brain is a new replacement that mutated into existence when the person was being turned into this
Everyone look at my very handsome husband. He’s hotter than usual bcs he’s visiting from hell
Blake and Ruby: Weiss you were the last one that fell, what happened up there?

It would be... remarkably depressing if RWBY was cancelled post-Volume 8 but pre-Volume 9. I wouldn't put it past Warner Bros. Discovery, per se, given the number of finished/near-finished projects that they've canned recently, but thinking about the situation the world and our heroes are in post-Volume 8... whew, lordy.
A Kingdom lost forever. Two others still recovering with no reliable way of reaching out to offer assistance to anyone. Two Relics in Salem's hands. Our protagonists - including both team leaders - trapped in an alternate world. There is hope, but it's so small as to be horrendously bleak.
I think I mentioned in another ask that there's a part of me that would like a post-Volume 8 conclusion better without the Volume 9 trailer. Because I agree that yeah, either version of that ending is depressing as hell and, crucially, not what RWBY was aiming for. Wild theories aside, I don't think anyone can persuasively argue that RWBY is supposed to end with the heroes loosing and Salem successfully dooming the world. For all its missteps, RWBY does not have that vibe, is not deliberately forwarding that message, and it has never implied that it wants a grimm-dark conclusion.
But if we HAVE to end post-Volume 8, I would have preferred a story that (inadvertently) committed to the horror it's introduced rather than hinting at a bunch of hopeful ideas--Ruby meets a helpful mouse! The girls presumably reunite! There are new enemies to recruit! They'll inevitably return and face Salem again!--that we simply never get to see because the show is cancelled. It's certainly not what the show intends, but there is (to me) something compelling about such a bleak ending. I'm a fan of horror and tragedy in a general sense, but more than that, RWBY has been toeing a line it's been too afraid to commit to. Yang looses a limb, but they're not interested in exploring the complexities of that. There's world-wide racism, slave labor, and branded enemies, but that's all solved by the occasional speech. The heroes just spent two volumes rejecting compromise at every turn, doomed a kingdom, and one protagonist mercy-killed a fan-favorite by slitting her throat... and if we get Volume 9, all of that will no doubt be hand-waved away too. There's something compelling in getting an ending that unintentionally highlights all the things RT doesn't want to admit that they wrote. Oh look, the story ends with the heroes failing spectacularly because of all the stupid decisions they've made lately, validating every fan who has gone, "They're making really stupid decisions lately." There's no longer any retcons, plot armor, or straight up, incomprehensible writing decisions to "fix" what's been in the story for 5+ years now. I won't pretend a part of me isn't satisfied with an ending that actually follows what wound up on the screen: Yang dies making the same mistake she made with Adam because she never actually learned how to control her impulsive temper. The other girls die too because they're not nearly as powerful as they arrogantly thought and their desire to get by on Just Being The Good Guys resulted in the enemy (once again) one-upping them. The citizens all die in the desert because, as seen, our protagonists never thought through how to keep them safe. And Salem wins because she's an immortal witch and the heroes have done nothing in those five Volumes to figure out how to stop her. Of course she wins.
This ending makes sense. Not based on what RT wanted RWBY to be, but based on what they actually wrote.
But, of course, it's also an ending 99% of the fandom would hate. I only like it because I desire consistency in my storytelling. I don't want a depressing RWBY ending, I want a RWBY that makes sense... and unfortunately, right now, the writing has introduced so many inconsistencies and insurmountable obstacles that a bleak ending is the most persuasive. If RT had done the work from the beginning--figuring out if they wanted a light-hearted show or one seeped in trauma, crafting a villain our heroes were capable of beating, writing the girls as consistently empathetic, intelligent fighters who balanced strategy with strength--I would never even entertain the idea of being satisfied with ending the show now. But RWBY has gone on so long with so many problems that I can't help going, "You know what? Yeah, it would suck for most of the fandom and I'd feel really sorry for them all if that happened, but I'd personally be satisfied in a 'I was expecting so much less' sort of way."
