Credits:
Me
I did everything.

Special thanks to my family who are all VERY MUCH worried for my well-being as I partook of this...thought experiment.

Anyways that's the end of the credits. Have fun.

Now for some behind the scenes stuff. 👍

.

.

.

SPOILERS AHEAD - (not anymore but I updated this as I was writing)

.

.

.

So I may have plotted a little too far ahead in the story and got a little excited about my OCs... Oh well. What's a good OC if not entertaining? *shrug*

Again, spoilers for a loooong time later. Currently as I post this, we are almost to chapter 16 (don't worry I'm almost done with that one).

.

Yes. I. Traced. Everything.

(I got the centimeter height wrong for Zeya. Oop)

1. What is the character's go-to drink order?
Boba tea while out. Homemade energy drink while at home.

2. What is their grooming routine?
Hers is fairly simple. Most of her effort goes into staying healthy, but she does make sure to at least shower every day and take care that her clothes are clean.

3. What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go?
She's actually quite the penny pincher when it comes to most things, but when she wants something, she WANTS something. She tends to splurge any excess cash on cars, a nice house, and whatever else those she loves wants. She loves to spoil her friends and family.

4. Do they have any scars or tattoos?
Not a single tattoo or piercing, though she has plenty of scars from hero work, though most of them are pretty small (for now). Now, she has a massive scar crossing her chest diagonally, which she isn't afraid to show off.

5. What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances?
She was about twelve when her older sister, and only parental figure, abandoned her and her brother. She cried a lot then. Has barely shed a tear since.

6. Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child?
Middle child.

7. Describe the shoes they're wearing.
Basic but quality running shoes.

8. Describe the place where they sleep.
King size bed with lots of fluffy pillows. (Sleep is very important to her.)

9. What is their favorite holiday?
Christmas, because that's when her brother always visits with his family.

10. What objects do they always carry around with them?
A knife and or gun.

11. How do they fight/deal with conflict?
She is very confrontational when something matters to her. In a verbal dispute she is often one of the loudest. Her goal for battle is to finish the fight before it even starts. She relies heavily on speed, including quick thinking, to make up for her lack of strength. (Though she is also pretty muscular and can brawl when she needs to.)

1. What is the character's go-to drink order?
She's a lil gremlin child, so she will always try to convince the bartender she's old enough to drink. When that fails, she settles for orange juice.

2. What is their grooming routine?
She's actually pretty well groomed for being a street thief. Just above the basics. Actually cares for her skin.

3. What was their most expensive purchase where does their disposable income go?
Tattoos. Lots and lots of tattoos.

4. Do they have any scars or tattoos?
Lots of tattoos, but very few scars. She's good about rewinding time to stay out of too much trouble. She also has a lot of piercings as well.

5. What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances?
Bring up her mom and she'll cry on the spot. Either that or she'll just straight-up clobber you... Or both.

6. Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child?
Only child.

7. Describe the shoes they're wearing.
Fancy leather platform boots meant for running/hiking in.

8. Describe the place where they sleep.
Anywhere that is not a trash can. She's very poor despite wasting so much money. In fact, she is often found sleeping on the floor or up high in some very peculiar position. (Even now with her own room, she prefers to sleep on a wad of blankets on the floor. Sometimes she will be found sleeping on top of the fridge with the bananas.)

9. What do they act like on their Birthday?
Her birthday, cuz then she can make her friends give her free stuff.

10. What objects do they always carry around with them?
Knives. Drugs. Whatever she can sell or threaten people with.

11. How do they fight/deal with conflict?
Zeya grew up learning to avoid confrontation at all costs. While she can get firey over certain things, her go-to approach is to act like she doesn't care, or completely avoid debating altogether. If she ever does get into a physical fight, her strategy is always to dodge and weave until she's spotted a weak point, then exploit it.

Quite a while later but here's Mei since I have a better idea of her character now:

1. What is the character's go-to drink order?
Water.

2. What is their grooming routine?
Pretty standard. She does only the basics. She would like to dress a little prettier, but hates/fears the extra attention that would come from that. So she'll often only wear makeup and pretty clothes while alone at the house.

3. What was their most expensive purchase where does their disposable income go?
She likes art and travel. So, with any extra money she'll either buy a nice painting or go hiking up in the mountains for a few days alone.

4. Do they have any scars or tattoos?
She has a couple secret tattoos hidden around on her body. All really cheesy puns.

5. What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances?
She genuinely can't remember. She's always had memory problems in her personal life, so it's highly likely she just forgot. She never cries in public, though. That's for sure!

6. Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child?
Biologically, the youngest of at LEAST three! Though, in her adopted family, she has one younger sister with whom she's pretty distant.

7. Describe the shoes they're wearing.
Flat and thin. Soft and brown. Easy to slip on and off. Super comfortable.

8. Describe the place where they sleep.
Basic apartment. Upper-middle class housing. Sleeps in a standard bed. Likes the color gray, which is clear in her decor.

9. What do they act like on their Birthday?
She never actually tells anyone when it is and then likes to walk around pretending like she is hiding a super big secret or something. Everyone's so confused because she's just standing in the back, smirking for no reason. "They'll never know~" she thinks, never explaining why she's so suspiciously happy all of a sudden.

10. What objects do they always carry around with them?
Pepper spray. A mask. Sunglasses. Catnip. Gum. Ponytail holders. Random bag of trail mix or other assorted snacks. Tissues. Coupons. The secret Crabby Pattie formula. Glue. Daily to-do lists. etc

11. How do they fight/deal with conflict?
She pulls each individual person aside, explains what the other person is dealing with and recommends how to improve. Does this with everyone and let's them solve the actual issue themselves. Rarely ever solves a problem upfront. Always leaves that to others.

Been in an artsy mood today, so I drew this.

Also drew early 19th century Reigen today, but that's for another fic..

--- 4/30/23

It appears this book is very popular with the men. Hello, men. 👋 ...That's it, I'm just used to my reader-base being 99% women. 👈😎👈 Stay awesome.

--- 5/12/23

I found a cool reading list full of BNHA x MP100 books in case you're interested in this very specific niche of story. ----->

-----

I was testing out my new laptop, okay?? Editing skills still and good hand writing come after goofing around.

--- 5/23/23

Haven't slept all night. Only drawing and anime. Have to wait in line again at 5AM anyways, so no point in sleep. Wish me luck that I actually get in this time! (Drivers' test...again)
Mission failure. I made it inside the building and everything, but the final slot was taken at the last second. :[

Why do I have such writer envy for a book I literally wrote a few months ago?! It's not even finished, but the plot is just so tight and interwoven and makes sense and not a moment is wasted on useless crap! TvT 👍
#preclimaxfeels

Also funny that in the book itself, I'm 10 chapters in and haven't even TOUCHED romance yet! Idk, might just make it platonic.

-----

Doesn't mean I'll actually write this... But it definitely was a thought.

Allow me to let you in on a little secret.
The only reason I even did Elyse x Reigen was because I was in the mood to create the most wholesome romance I could muster and landed on these two to do that. :]

-----

Me scouring the internet for MP100 fan art I haven't seen already (specifically Ryo related for completely normal reasons):

I think the only genre of art remaining is the sussy fan art and I AIN'T GOING THERE!

-----

Since we are nearing the end of Season 1 (yes I am splitting this book up by seasons) I decided now would be a fun time to share some of the music I think fits their respective characters.

Mob?:

One eyed Ritsu: idk why I did this to the poor boi T-T

I required a sacrifice for the finale I guess..

-----

I found a fun little Pinterest board full of translated Q&A stuff with the MP100 characters n' stuff. ---------->

From the creator himself.

Again, idk if the link will work but oh well. I think Serizawa's are my personal favorite. 😅

-----

Bu-wait. If this is the end of the book... Then....

Why do I still have so many NOTES?!? (I delete pre written quotes/scene outlines as I write them into the story)

Yes I am aware I have the most chaotic notes in all of human history. I don't end up using all of them. Many are just there in case the right situation were to pop up.

AFO talks the longest in my notes! SHEEEEE-

Oh yeah and here's the VERY loose outline I've been following since starting this book:

"
Three breakdowns:
(Kai takedown) ✓
0.5. when rescued ✓
(Broccoli takedown) ✓
1. Because fish died. Remains on campus and is quickly handled. ✓
(Island) ✓
(Zeya rescue) √
2. Because he tries to shoot out his own quirk. Rips off own arm and goes on a rampage to help the villains out somehow. Reigen helps Elyse with saving people caught up in it since she forbade him to get any closer. ✓
3. Breaks out of prison in a straight jacket, causing the "Eclipse" during one. Like in season three Reigen, with the help of Deku and Serizawa, reaches Mob and makes the confession that slaps him out of it. Deku is amazed because it clicks that only someone who is quirkless can do this, making him realize what Mob has said all along. ✓
"

As you can see, I ended up changing a few things and added a LOT as well.

I think this is my favorite note quote so far:
"You don't have to follow around the main villain blindly! Because you're the main character of your own life!"
"Heh, in that case, the whole world is screwed! Because my life is an f###ing tragedy!"

Also I couldn't find a place to put this, but this happens sometimes between the Mob rescue and Elyse and Reigen officially dating.
Elyse: "Ah, so you do have another suit.." *tugs tie*
Reigen: "Woah." *catches balance* "Was it something I said?" *Looking up, oddly casual*
Elyse: *awkward realization* "...I dunno. Just felt like doing that." *let's go and shrugs it off*

Couldn't get this in either.
Kai: "...Ever heard about The Eclipse?"
Mob: *Shakes head.*
Kai: "It was an ancient prophecy discovered not long after Quirks became a thing... No one knows who wrote it or how long it had been there, but it told of a day that the age of power would come to an end... I always wanted to be the foretold 'Eye of The Eclipse,' who was said to strip the world of its power and take it all into himself. In fact, I looked up to this goal so much that I missed the bigger picture... In the end, I'll die like everyone else who has sought the same thing. But, unlike them, my research will live on, taking on a life of its own." Leans back of head against wall or something "...Hm, maybe that's what the prophecy meant... Maybe The Eclipse isn't a person...but a movement. A movement designed to return the world to its original, more peaceful state..."

Finished this book just in time for vacation. 😎 Ooyah~

----- 7/13/2023

If you're looking for a new fanfic to run to, might I suggest a few~~?

"The Girl Who Couldn't Fly" - I was just rereading some of this and it's actually pretty pogchamp. 👍

I stole Zeya from this fanfic, lol. She was originally from ^

Warning, though, it gets pretty emotional at times. A pretty heavy hitter. Great if you like dramas and angst though!

"The Main Villain's Daughter Wants To Save The World?!" - It's a much newer fic, but I've got a lot of plans for it already.

So far it's primarily fluff, though I'd say the overall genre is more along the lines of psychological thriller. Great if you're looking for a book with an interesting twist to the main villain of MHA: AFO.

(It has since garnered 2k more reads.)

And now I have an MHA centered short stories book for anyone interested.

.

Yes I'm angst writer. If you thought this book was dark, then I'm sorry but you won't find my other fics much better. Genuinely tried writing pure fluff with the (BNHA x Reader) one, but just ended up plotting the darkest scene I've written. The pendulum always swings back. *sigh..*

Thank you all so much for getting this book so many reads! 17k!?!! 🙏

Ayo thanks for the 20k!!!

Fun fact:
     Dabi remembered one time when Ryo casually mentioned once knowing a powerful telepath -- while he was complaining about electronics or something -- so when he came up with his plan, he decided to go find Ryo. The two struck up a mutual deal, deciding to merge plans. So Ryo tracked down and kidnapped Hatori -- just like how he kidnapped Sakurai -- and handed the old associate off to Dabi. Dabi in turn made his plan overlap with Ryo's in order to better confuse the population in time for Ryo to enact his plan.
     And that's how "Off Switch" happened!
