Tales of the Symbol of Order - An ongoing fanfic beginning two years before canon
Hey everyone,
This story takes place two years before canon, following my OC through UA alongside the future Big Three before any of them became what the canon knows them as.
His name is Osore Todokae. Talented, arrogant, genuinely brilliant, and completely convinced that heroism is about protecting the things that hold people together. He's right about that. He's wrong about almost everything else.
Primarily, a heads up on what this story is not :
This is not a power fantasy about an OC showing up and immediately becoming the strongest person in the room.
It's not an OCxCanon character romance.
It's not a story about replacing Deku.
It's not a story about proving canon characters wrong.
It's not a story where every established character suddenly exists to praise the protagonist.
And despite where the character eventually ends up, it isn't an edgelord murderfest either.
What you'll find here are the introduction of a character who will later hold up his very own answer to MHA's main question : "Can anyone become a Hero?".
The goal is to tell the story of a hero student who slowly, and sometimes painfully, learns what it takes to become a Hero, while discovering whether a strong ambition can survive within a flawed system.
If you're looking for an OC integrated into the MHA world with a long character arc, an evolving cast, and a lot of attention paid to cause and effect, then this might be your thing. Canon characters are treated with care and the world is taken seriously. The story has weight and occasionally earns it the hard way.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this work!
So far the story is written up to half of Vol.2, I plan on finishing it by the end of summer, and I'll start Vol.3, the conclusion, by late 2026
