Inside One for All

Summary:

❛❛ So, I'm Alive but I'm Dead? ❜❜

• After being handed off to Izuku Midoriya, One For All has amassed enough power to raise the spirits of the past users and keep them tethered to the green haired boy.

↳ The fifth swears on every movie he's ever watched that they'll receive ghostly powers and be able to cause chaos from the other side.

✎ Or: Izuku gets unknowingly adopted by Seven special ghosts who won't let anyone mess with him

Notes:

Uh the thing with the sixth: He was 17 when he died and therefore still 17 as a ghost. To be honest, i just needed to project onto him as i simp. Plus who doesn't love a short youngster to incite unnecessary drama?

Also as of writing this theres been no new information on the one for all users beside the fifth and seventh so their personalities and backstories are based off headcanons.

Just wanted to clear that up right away, anyway enjoy!

Chapter 1: • Get To Know Your Users •

Chapter Text


The First - (Yoichi Shigaraki)

 

• Actually does love his brother still. Before their quirks manifested they were really close, AFO used to read superhero manga with him. Even when they drifted apart the first would always find mysterious copies of his favorite manga on his doorstep...

 

• Zero tolerance policy. If you cross him, he knows where to aim 👀. AFO knows this the best.

 

• He is a baby. Will listen to your problems and try help out as best he can, since he isn't much of a talker he has dirt on everyone he's ever met. Yes, even you number 3, nobody is safe.

 

• Occasionally got into trouble with the police during his teenage years and was known in the force as the 'Kneecap Breaker' due to to relentless attacks to the knees if you were being a jerk.

 

• Memelord. Thats it. Thats all.

 


The Second - (??? ???)

 

• He was actually the firsts childhood friend along with All for ones. They were a part of a group of neighborhood scamps that would hang out at abandoned buildings and construction sites. He still remained close with both of the Shigaraki's even through the war.

 

• He didn't want to choose between his two close friends in being a hero or villain, so he settled for the middle ground: Vigilantism! That way he didn't have to fight either of them, well, that went down the drain.

 

• He didn't even accept OFA knowingly. When All for One started to rise in power, the pair made a blood pact to remain friends no matter what happened. Next thing he knew his other childhood friend is hunting him down and his quirk had been enhanced.

 

• A small part of him hoped AFO wouldn't kill him, however he did. Without a second thought. Yeah, he's a bit salty about that one, even in death.

 

• The biggest crackhead, always the person to spike drinks at parties and lace the door handles with super glue. He's actually happy he's a ghost because of the opportunities it comes with. He's ready to haunt a bitch (read: AFO)

 


The Third - (??? ???)

 

• He met the second under the most mundane of circumstances. He was a teenager, going through his angsty phase, listening to MCR at a bus stop when this grown ass man comes crashing through the glass bus stop, making the shards rain down on the both of them.

 

• They both were sent to the emergency room, went their separate ways and reconnected again 4 years later when the second was being held at gunpoint with his sickly friend. He still isn't sure if he regrets saving them or not.

 

• The angsty phase translated to just adult exhaustion over the years. If AFO didn't kill him he would've died early from sky high blood pressure anyways, so he isn't particularly miffed about dying in blazing glory.

 

• He likes peace and quiet but can shout really loud if he's pissed off. Anger problems? Maybe. Only time will tell. Just get this man some aspirin.

 


The Fourth - (Hikage Shinomori)

 

• He was raised by the hero commission (like hawks) after his anti-quirk mother abandoned him on the streets when he six. He never forgave her for the years of abuse she subjected him to all for something he couldn't control.

 

• The comission raised him to be wary at all times which resulted in his extreme paranoia about the most trivial of things. Even though nothing in death can harm him, it doesn't stop him from worrying about others, especially Midoriya.

 

• Can empathize with Midoriya and his anxiety and often knows when Izuku is particularly scared or nervous about something.

 

• A scary ass man when he's pissed off. He doesn't shout or scream. No. Instead he eye murders you with the coldest damn glare. Conveys the message 'I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.' 

 

• He always scouts ahead of Midoriya to check for danger, even if it doesn't help it was something built into him. Yeah, it doesn't help...

 


The Fifth - (Daigoro Banjo)

 

• It took him a while to get a good grasp on the quirk, black whip often went awol consequently flinging objects (and on one occasion his master) into the next city over. It was sorted out eventually.

 

• Showed up late to his battle with AFO, he slept in and payed the price with his whole life. Now preaches always being on time to anyone who would listen, everyone just laughs at him though. He likes to believe his death was more epic than it actually was.

 

• Religiously bullied his successor, the sixth, for being short on a daily basis. This lead to many scares of him "joining forces withh AFO" even though, in reality he was just at a bar getting piss drunk as a rebellious teen. It was definitely not funny.

 

• He was mostly an underground hero, helping out vigilantes when he could though he occasionally appeared as a lime light hero.

 

• He immediately hit it off with the second and now they're both partners in crime, much to the others despair.

 


The Sixth - (En ???)

 

• An aggressive shorty. AFO had the actual audacity to make fun of his height during their battle, the villain only won by a centimeter after that. He pulled some cheap tactic and only just got the kill. When the sixth died, he didn't go out hearing the same drabble as the others. He went out hearing an out of breath sigh of relief.

 

• He's honestly really mean to literally everyone except Nana and Midoriya. Of course  he tolerates the other users, but he just automatically bullies everyone else he meets until they either leave him alone or become friends with him.

 

• The youngest, clocking in at 17 while also being a Pansexual disaster. He's a little (alot) stupid, having dropped out of school (really) early to focus on defeating AFO. 

 

• Daigoro insulted his neck once during training. The neck was never seen again. He really admires Best Jeanist after seeing one of his action figures in Midoriya's bedroom. 

 

• Has the attention span of a dead goldfish. Its amazing how he can zone out in almost any situation and completely miss some important information. This was a habbit that was hammered out of him during training but made a spectacular come back in death.

"How did you die then?" The second whined, pretty miffed at everyones glorious deaths aside from Daigoro's of course. 

 

"All For Shit said he missed a hit since I'm sooo small and he couldn't properly see me. I was pretty pissed and almost had him so, feeling cocky i responded with a stellar: 'yeah? How's the weather up there you oversized turd." He was smiling fondly as he recounted the event.

 

"And! And?!" 

 

"He countered by striking me with lightning using a quirk and said "Honestly,  pretty stormy." It would've been funny if i wasn't having a seizure."

 

"O-oh.."

 

 


The Seventh - (Nana Shimura)

 

• The mother of the group. Always trying to keep the peace between the other users despite being the newest user actually fully present. She mainly joins forces with the First to help solve problems.

 

• She likes to talk to Mist Might in hopes of her words reaching the real thing. Its more successful than anyone is aware of...

 

• Nobody believed that she was capable of going toe to toe with All For One until they played 'Look the other way' and she basically slapped Daigoro back into the living world...

 

• She thinks Izuku is really cool and would love to meet him personally to train him even if it were for only an hour. Shame its impossible, guess she'll have to stick with training the guys just as ruthlessly as Torino.

 


The Eighth - (Yagi Toshinori)

~Mist Might~

 

• Just a soulless sock puppet that continues to tag along with the other ghosts. Technically a place holder until the real thing dies and leaves behind the land of the living.

 

• Though his connection to the actual living All Might is indisputable and could really come in handy one day...
