1: a quick backstory
I gained my quirk at a fairly average age but from the second I got it, I hated it. I've always had a urge to destroy things. It brought me joy. Building up legos just to kick them over and watch as the pieces fly across the room. My parents loved my power. They had such high hopes for me and now I feel a bit bad for disappointing them, for hurting them. They really did have high expectations for what I could do with this quirk, maybe a bit too much.
One day I was just playing with my doll house, well more like tearing it down, when everything went black and I woke up behind a library in a pile of books. I didn't know what to do so I sat there and I read the books thinking my parents would come get me. They never did.
It was a little over a week or so after this happened that I found out what happened. I had burned down my parents' house and ran off. I saw it in the paper. My parents refused to admit that I started the fire but I apparently didn't do much to cover my tracks.
I felt a sting of guilt but even then I knew I couldn't do much about it now. If I went back, I would be locked up in therapy, some kind of juvenile center, and a psychiatric hospital for most of my life or to a kid's mind, I'd be grounded for the rest of my life and I didn't want that so I stayed there. For about a month or two, maybe more, I sat behind that library and read books to help me understand my quirk and make the most of it even if I didn't like it.
Those months were cut short by a teenager who found me. This kid looked as if he as was on the streets longer than I have but he told me otherwise. He told me his name was Tenko Shimura and he lived with a man who's name I still don't know. All I know is that something happened to Tenko's parents and now this man is taking care of him. Tenko has met him but this man doesn't wish to be seen or known. I didn't think much of it until he asked me to live with him.
At the time, I had a good grasp of my quirk, haven't had much practice but I knew I had more of an understanding of it. If I went with Tenko, I knew if anything happened, we could defend ourselves.
Tenko was shy and very nervous whenever I got near him or if he subconsciously touched me. He told me his quirk was called Decenagration. He explained that if he touched something or someone with all five of his fingers, they would turn into ashes. He told me he hated his quirk, that he'd rather be quirkless than to possess his power.
"That's so stupid!," I yelled, "I would kill to have a quirk that could destroy things!"
Tenko quivered and shook as he struggled to get a sentence out.
"But I've hurt people with these hands. With this quirk, I've…I've killed people. That's something I have to live with forever. Having a quirk that can destroy things puts people on danger and if you can't control it, bad things happen."
I shook my head, "Its your quirk, you don't belong to your quirk. Control it." I said as I handed him a book I was reading. As a child, I didn't understand that reading a book wouldn't solve his problems and he knew that too but he still took the book from my tiny hands. I was like 8 at the time.
I ended up living with him. We lived in an abandoned bar and every week or so, food and toys would appear outside. I've still never seen the man who fed me. I still don't even know his name. Not even a nickname. Tenko just called him "father".
The older we got, the more confident Tenko got, the more confident he got, the more he would talk about heros and villains. He was confident enough to have his opinion on that stuff. I never cared though. I was too young.
At 18 he was growing strong ideals about taking down hero society. Saying that all the heros who say that they use their powers to protect people are all fake and that they needed to be taken down. He was no longer the shy kid who found me. He now had control of her quirk, mostly. I had to help him understand. For being 10, I was pretty smart especially since I wasn't in school. I think that says more about the school system than anything. I spent my time studying his quirk so I could use it for myself.
The nights were long when I was learning about him. His skin is glossed with an acid that causes things and people to turn to ashes when a certain amount of his skin touches it. This acid is in his skin so he can't just wash it off. His quirk doesn't work on himself since he is already covered in this acid.
As a kid, I had no clue what emotions were and Tenko was no help. All he knew was fear. I had fallen in love with his quirk but my child self thought I had loved Tenko. I was 10 and Tenko was 18. He didn't know how to explain to a kid what love was so he played along with it. He would hold my hand, let me kiss his cheek, and sometimes he would let me fall asleep with him.
As I grew, I realised that I didn't love him and I "broke up" with him. He just laughed at me. He found it funny and still teases me to this day. He messes with me and calls me his ex though I was never really his girlfriend. Gross.
When I was about 14, he began making a group of people who believed in his same political beliefs. Soon they all moved in with us. There was Spinner, a lizard guy who was a fan boy of a local villain. Dabi, a tall guy with black hair and icy blue eyes, he had a fire quirk and his flames were blue, and the most identifying feature of his was his scarred face. He had burn scars under his eyes and on his bottom jaw. The scars went as far down as his shirt. All of his scarred tissue was held onto his face with staples. There was Kurogiri, I don't know much but his body was a dark mist and there were two yellow lights as his eyes. His quirk allowed him to open portals from one location to another. Twice, a man who was all over the place, he didn't like taking his mask off and his quirk made him depressed. His quirk was making clones of himself and that caused him to start thinking that he wasn't the real him and scared he was just a clone. Toga Himiko, a blonde girl who was around the same age as me who's quirk was like a vampire. If she drinks blood from a person, she could shape shift into them. Mr. Compress, I didn't know much about him but his quirk could compress people into little marbles which doesnt sound flashy but is really useful. Muscular, he was annoying. He was a really really buff guy who's quirk was healing. His muscles were outside of his body and whenever was ripped or hurt, they would regerate. Mustard, who I didn't care for much either, his quirk allowed him to release glass from his body, mustard gas specifically. I could do that by peeing in a gallon of bleach but go off I guess. Moonfish…I really didnt like him. He was weird. His quirk allowed him to reshape his teeth however he pleased, his teeth were also really strong. Magne was cool. Toga loved her. She could magnetize people up to 4.5 meters away. There was also like 74 other people but I didnt care for them. I didn't care for most of them. Toga, Tenko, and Dabi were really the only ones I somewhat cared for.
Tenko started going by a new name. His new name was Tomura Shigaraki. I called him Shigi for short even though he hates it.
Me? I went went by the name Control Freak. My real name is Rin Tetsu. Everyone called me a nickname that was related to a puppeteer because of my quirk.
My quirk is called Anatomy, I can control a person's body as long as I know how said part of the body works. That includes people's quirks.
Dabi's is fun to mess with. He hates it when I play with his quirk but its not like he could stop me.
Life was pretty good for me. I was left alone most of the time, the only person I'd consider a friend was out making a difference and making "friends". Everything was just great. Until Shigi sent me back to school.
