Biography

Izuku Midoriya (緑谷 出久 Midoriya Izuku) was a male child born to Inko Midoriya and Hisashi Midoriya where he lived in Japan in a time when Quirks developed among humanity giving 80% of mankind some form of superpower. Thus, an age of superheroes emerged which in turn saw the rise of people abusing their powers to become supervillains. He lived in the neighbourhood of another boy named Katsuki Bakugo with the two becoming friends and Midoriya giving him the nickname of Kaachan. The two of them were also great fans of the Number 1 hero that was All Might who appeared on television with Midoriya regularly watching the hero's exploits. Bakugo became the popular child in the circle of friends with Midoriya looking up to him and believing him capable of many great things. Around this time, Bakugo's response towards Midoriya began to change as he started looking down at him for being weak and started giving him the nickname of Deku as a sign of mockery. Their relationship then changed again when Bakugo started developing his explosive Quirk with everyone believing him to be capable of great things with his power. One day, Izuku went to the doctor with his mother to see when his Quirk would develop but was informed that Midoriya was among those humans that were Quirkless which meant that he would never get any powers. This resulted in Midoriya being looked down upon by people at his school and Bakugo treating him with even more ridicule though Izuku still stayed in his company.

On one occasion, he found Bakugo and his friends bullying another child with Midoriya jumping in to stop him but they instead beat him up.

Whilst travelling by a tunnel, he was attacked by a villain made of sludge who wanted to use Midoriya as a skin-suit to escape detection. This saw him restrained as the villain sought to enter his body which would have killed him. However, All-Might arrived on the scene and used his Texas Smash to knock aside the villain who he kept contained in a bottle. A grateful Midoriya was grateful to All-might and overwhelmed at meeting his idol.

Yoshinori then decided that he wanted Midoriya to be his successor and revealed the true nature of his Quirk that was One For All which had been passed down from one hero to the next.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Izuku Midoriya was a young male with green hair that was typically unkempt. To his friends, he was known by the nickname of Deku that was actually given to him by Bakugo and made as an insult as well as sign of mockery. He decided to adopt it as his nickname after meeting Uraraka who said that she liked it with Izuku deciding that it would become the name of a hero.

From 4 years old, he found some people having more power than others but he did not find that holding him back as it instead drove him to be better. A dream of Izuku's was to become a hero which he had since he was a child and wanted to begin a career in that track.

He even decided to base his costume on All Might with ears that resembled the hairs on his head and a mask that resembled a smile.

Powers and abilities

He kept his findings of various heroes and Quirk traits in his notebook.

Initially, Midoriya was among the rare few humans that were Quirkless in that he had no abilities and was an ordinary human. This changed when he met All Might and when the hero decided to pass his Quirk One For All to a successor. On one occasion, Midoriya felt that he could feel a number of other presences in his mind that were remnants of the personalities of the previous holders of the Quirk. These presences in his mind were able to help him on occasion where in one case they helped him use his Quirk to snap out of an attempted brainwashing power.

Typically, this resulted in scarring left behind on his wounded arms from the use of his powers. It was said that constant overuse of his Quirk could lead to further damage to his limbs which could result in him being unable to use those parts of his body in the future.

Due to repeated injuries cause of his Quirk, Midoriya decided to adjust his costume to focus extra protection on his legs that he started to use further in combat. This worked in a combination with his Quirk that provided enhanced strength whilst the soles of the shoes contained a spring that added further damage in an attack. He referred to this as his Shoot Style where he developed a number of attacks with it including:

• Shoot Style: St. Louis Smash (シュートスタイル セントルイス スマッシュ Shūto Sutairu Sento Ruisu Sumasshu?) : involved jumping in the air where he delivered a roundhouse kick to the face of an opponent.
