This scenario shows Ryuji Paranga, from an AU where Abigail Koopa (by u/Kerbalmaster911) saved him, punching her lights out as she uses Final Flame.

So, why is he punching her in the jaw? Well...

It all started ever since Abigail saved Ryuji from experiencing the trauma of Dotonbori. Ever since that day, the two were practically inseparable, making their way through the hell of Dotonbori together. They were like two peas in a rotting, scarred pod.

Eventually, they managed to somehow get into UA. While unfortunately they were separated by the fact that Ryuji went to 1-A and Abigail went to 1-B, the two were still close, being a sort of Dynamic Delinquent Duo, which is like saying they were the Big Two of the first years.

While Ryuji had a fearsome persona of the toughest delinquent, perhaps second to Abigail in his mind, he secretly harbored a crush on her and instantly got flustered when asked about it.

This got to the point where Ryuji had to make his move. It was now or never. Ryuji decided to call Abigail and tell her to meet him at the pier. He tells her that he wants to challenge her to a fight.

Before the two even fight, Ryuji announced that he recognizes that Abigail would want a man who was strong enough to keep up with her. While some might've thought Ryuji was being arrogant and cocky, perhaps even thinking himself entitled to Abigail, she knew why he said that. If anything, Ryuji was more like Abigail's biggest fanboy, and he was fighting someone he looked up to and admired for so long. And with that...

The two got into the fight of their lives.

It ended with Abigail and Ryuji at least thirty meters apart. Abigail decided to reject Recovery Girl's warning of using her own Ultimate Move, the Final Flame, and proceeded to charge it up. Ryuji, not wanting to be scorched, used his own Ultimate move, Pagkawasak, to close the distance and launch a left straight so powerful it lifted Abigail's head up and caused the Final Flame to be shot skywards, as Ryuji proceeded to slam her into the concrete so hard that it visibly cratered, and the ground shook beneath their feet, defeating her once and for all.

The two started dating after the fight.

Your OC meets Inasa Yoarashi and Ryoshi Makunouchi, both from Shiketsu.

Yoarashi is currently describing, with intensity I may add, how badass Makunouchi can be when he locks in, especially gassing up Ryoshi's ultimate move, the Dempsey Roll.

How does your OC interact with both Yoarashi and Makunouchi?

Ryoshi Makunouchi is an aspiring student (maybe hero) who was born-and-raised in Tottori.

Unlike my other OC's, Ryoshi Makunouchi goes to Shiketsu. He also knew Kenkashi Sendo when they were just kids, as they were a part of a boxing gym (Ryoshi was considered to be the "runt" of the litter when it came to height, though at the same time he was teased for his weight).

~~~~

Physical appearance: Ryoshi Makunouchi is a short, stocky young man standing at 5'1, and weighing in 210 pounds (on a good day!). His most notable features, aside from his cauliflower ears and his oddly cute, pug-like features, are his insanely huge traps, his powerful core, and his freakishly-defined legs. He wears the Shiketsu Uniform with pride, though sometimes he forgets his cap. Either that, or it just gets knocked off his head for some godforsaken reason.

~~~~

Personality: Ryoshi Makunouchi is a pretty bogstandard kid. He's a momma's boy, soft-spoken, quite shy, and easily gets flustered when talking to someone he finds attractive (regardless of gender). However, the moment Ryoshi locks in as a hero, it's like a switch gets flipped in him. He becomes an absolutely terrifying force of nature capable of dominating anyone who stands in his way with the most intimidating, unpredictable movement patterns one could fight. It's like he's a sort of whirlwind rushing someone down.

~~~~

Quirk: In-Fighter. Type: Mutation Accumulation.

The user's body is capable of developing three times the amount of fast twitch muscle fibers than a normal human body, and their skeleton is capable of remodeling itself to thrice the previous toughness per recovery. Notable areas where the fast twitch fibers are more dense compared to others are the obliques, hips, thighs, and calves, whereas the notable areas where the skeleton can harden itself even more than just thrice are the finger bones, hand bones, and forearm bones. The user's neck and trapezius also see an increase in muscle density, however these are specifically made up of slow twitch muscle fibers (not fast twitch muscle fibers), meaning that they would prevent the head from being forcefully turned. Naturally, the user has to work out in order to exploit the benefits of these mutations, effectively cultivating the body of a pint-sized powerhouse.

The ideal method to utilize this quirk is through fighting similar to how a boxing In-Fighter would: Charging into close range, cutting off potential angles, and hurling barrages of strikes (punches, kicks, elbows, knees, etc.)

The primary weakness of this quirk is, well, the fact that it's specifically meant for close-range fighters.

So fuck all the upsides if the user is fighting someone that could snipe them from who knows how far away. The best choice is to just run in that case.

~~~~

Ultimate Move: Dempsey Roll. Ryoshi rapidly shifts his weight side-to-side while advancing forward. When in close range, Ryoshi throws a series of hooks, uppercuts, and overhands with each weight shift. Naturally, due to his bone density and the sheer speed of his muscles, anyone would get absolutely fucked up against it.

~~~~

Abilities: Much like his childhood friend Kenkashi Sendo, Ryoshi Makunouchi fights mostly like a quirkless fighter, though due to his increased bone density and his limb muscles having a lot of fast twitch muscle fibers, Ryoshi can easily dominate most people in terms of athleticism. If he works out hard enough, he could probably even reach the top 10 physical strongest people in the world!

Due to the amount of fast twitch muscle fibers especially on his legs, Ryoshi Makunouchi can dash short distances very quickly, perhaps beating most people in a short sprint.

Also, much like Kenkashi, Ryoshi is a trained, experienced boxer. Having sparred at least hundreds of matches before getting into Shiketsu, Ryoshi knows a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and has built his fighting style to accommodate his body type (and effectively his quirk), utilizing the Cus D'Amato Tight Defense (better known as the Peekaboo Style).

However, unlike his ancestor Ippo Makunouchi, Ryoshi wasn't trained by a total fucking dumbass like Coach Genji Kamogawa (who taught Ippo to just let his opponent punch him in the face and keep going forward), but rather a competent boxing coach, who rigorously drilled stance-switching, weight-shifting, and all sorts of directional movement (both forward, backward, lateral, and even diagonal movement), giving Ryoshi some incredible defense.

Also, since Ryoshi was training a boxing gym, he actually thought to pick up some boxing mitts to drill pad work with other boxers, which actually helped him in parrying punches.

While Ryoshi is right-handed, he can switch stances on a dime and has crazy power in both hands.

~~~~

Backstory: Ryoshi Makunouchi lived a pretty simple life. His ancestor was Ippo Makunouchi, a man who once dethroned a Mexican boxing legend years ago. But now, that memory has long since passed after the birth of the glowing baby. His mother Mikiko Makunouchi worked the fishing business after the tragic death of Ryoshi's father Takayuki Makunouchi.

It was pretty standard living in Tottori, though he actually bounced between there and Esuha, Hyogo, where he met Kenkashi Sendo. We all know who Kenkashi Sendo is.

Now, while Sendo went to UA, Makunouchi obviously went to Shiketsu. He passed the written and the practical, so he was placed in the same class as Inasa Yoarashi.

~~~~

Some more fun facts:

It's actually quite hard to get him to throw kicks and knees. Elbows and backhands sure, but it'd be awkward for Ryoshi to throw anything with his legs.

Ryoshi's canonical dating advice is: "Ah... uh... don't ask me for advice! Ask someone else, I beg of you!"

~~~~

Let me know what you think of this dude. Might make an interaction post soon.

Absolutely LOVED how this one turned out. Considering how much time I've spent on this fucking piece of art, I think I might as well show it off with pride.

PREMISE:

Two delinquent childhood friends are attending their third year of middle school, when one of them, Ryuji Paranga, begins to harbor feelings for his friend Abigail Koopa, who saved him and cared for him back in Dotonbori, an infamous district known for its cruelty to others. However, UA is a highly prestigious school that Ryuji had managed to apply to, and he even somehow managed to pass its written entrance exam! Can Ryuji manage to confess his feelings to Abigail Koopa before he has to go to UA? Let's all give him some support! One, two, aaand...

GO FOR IT, PARANGA-KUN!

During the Sports Festival, Kenkashi Sendo of Class 1-B makes a promise to knock out Ryuji Paranga of Class 1-A within one minute during the battle tournament.

He proceeds to start asking students to bet on him, and not on Ryuji, claiming he'll make their money back.

Even if your OC can't see into the future, would they still bet on Kenkashi beating Ryuji, or is betting on Ryuji a better investment?

Featuring: Abigail Koopa by u/Kerbalmaster911.

Your eyes do not deceive you, Ryuji Paranga found someone that could be shipped with him (even if in an alternate universe).

The basic premise (as brought up by Kerbalmaster on the subreddit's dis-cord) is that Abigail Koopa was also born in Dotonbori, and she prevents Ryuji from experiencing the initial trauma that caused his downward spiral into legalist madness. This causes Ryuji and Abigail to form a sort of friendship forged by the fires of Dotonbori (figuratively, sometimes literally).

Ryuji would see Abigail as his hero, to the point where he actually grew a crush on her.

They attend UA, of course, and they basically continue their friendship as a sort of rivalry.

After the 8-year timeskip, they probably become engaged or at least are dating or in a romantic relationship.

This image may or may not be canon, but basically it's main timeline Ryuji (with the scar) seeing his alternate timeline version (or RyujiGail!Ryuji) act all lovey-dovey with RyujiGail!Abigail. Seeing what main timeline Ryuji thinks is an utter bastardization of himself, he naturally goes incredibly berserk.

Kenkashi's information, for the record

Art I made of Ryuji Paranga and Kenkashi Sendo hitting a cross counter on reach other (this is indeed a reference to Ashita no Joe, a peak manga/anime, also specifically a reference to Toru Rikiishi vs. Joe Yabuki's own cross counter moment) during the Sports Festival's battle tournament.

Kenkashi isn't actually throwing any ordinary cross counter, but rather a right-handed version of the Sendo Bloodline's signature move, the Smash. He had to put himself in the southpaw stance to do it, though.

In this AU, Kenkashi would've been in Ibara's place, meaning he'd beat Denki, then Tenya, and now he's fighting Ryuji in the Semi Finals.

By the way, Ryuji beats Kenkashi during the Cross Counter. Like, seriously. Ryuji's a lot bigger by 11 inches in height and 100 pounds in weight. No way would Kenkashi seriously hope to knock out someone like Ryuji.

Anywho...

KUROSU KOUNTAAA!

I've been getting back into Left 4 Dead after a long ass time and I've been given an inspiration for this post.

The premise of this AU is that Ryuji was a test subject for a Military-Grade (and legal, at least only for pro heroes and military members) variant of Trigger by the HPSC. However, while Ryuji managed to retain his sense of reasoning, his quirk Dragon's Heat had an unexpected mutation as a result of Trigger: The gas it emitted no longer became cosmetic, but rather it was pretty much carrying an airborne virus, though it could also be transmitted via bodily fluids. Ryuji was now Patient Zero of Trigger Dragon's Heat (TDH for short).

Whoever came into contact with cells tainted with TDH became infected, with the symptoms being bouts of mania, drooling, coughing, runny nose, dry eyes, vomiting, increased athleticism, various kinds of mutations depending on the victim's body type and lifestyle, and a purple glow in the victim's eyes. Effectively, infected people were becoming zombies. There were some who were, surprisingly, asymptomatic carriers of TDH, and even more surprisingly, all of the LOV's core members (even the lesser-known ones) were carriers.

Naturally, this caused a bit of a chaotic situation in Japan.

So, what did the HPSC do with Ryuji?

Simple.

They turned him into a fucking Tank from Left 4 Dead. In this AU, TAAANK!Ryuji stands 8'3" and weighs 550 pounds (not including all the equipment on his body, like the oxygen tanks, the mask, the body armor, etc.), being an absolute behemoth of a human being.

Okay, maybe that's too simple. Really, all they did was give him an oxygen tank and a high-filter gas mask to prevent him from spreading the virus any further. And some body armor because why the fuck not.

So, what the hell does Muscular and Dabi have to do with this? Well, it's not just them. It's the League of Villains who are saddled with this bullshit.

Basically, they take the role of the Survivors from Left 4 Dead. In fact, if I had to make analogues between the LOV members during the TDH apocalypse to the Survivors from L4D1&2...

Muscular - Coach

Dabi - Nick

Mustard - Ellis

Spinner - Rochelle

Shigaraki - Francis

Kurogiri - Bill

Twice - Louis

Toga - Zoey

Note: For the last two images, they're not really canonical in the AU itself. It's more like dumbs skit based in a slice-of-life AU of this AU (AU-ception!), with one parodying "This a burger tank?" and the other parodying "Who's Cooking Tonight?" by Raikujo.

There are going to be more images about the survivors/LOV members released after a while, so keep an eye out for that.

I'm back y'all.
