## Appearance

After being mortally injured by All Might years ago, All For One's face seems to be made entirely of scar tissue, extending from above his upper lip and covering his entire head and the back of his neck. As such, he has no visible nose, ears, hair, or eyes, though the outlines of eye sockets can rarely be seen. As a result of having no eyes, he cannot see properly, but “sees” by using an infrared vision Quirk and by sensing the directions of vibrations in the area around him, similar to echolocation. He has various tubes sticking out of his neck and jaw, presumably to help with breathing. He also wears a black, skull-like glass mask with angular pipes at the top, a collar-like life support system around his neck, and a black suit.

## Personality

All For One is a megalomaniac and an expedient psychopath. His brother gave insights on his personality to Izuku, in a dream. While All For One did use his powers to help people, it was done with ulterior motives and he demanded their servitude in exchange for his help. Those who resisted his will were purged. Aware of the feud between civilians and Quirk users, All For One encouraged it to acquire more Quirks and supporters. He did not even hesitate to convert some people into Nomus. All For One committed all these crimes, claiming he was bringing order to the world. All For One did care for his younger brother, albeit in a condescending manner. He is of the belief that without power, one cannot assert his ideals. He does not believe in justice or morality, claiming that they do not conform to reality.

All For One was so attached to his power and status that he despises All Might for taking them away from him.

Perhaps due to his confidence and immense power, he has a calm and condescending demeanor, confident even when thwarted. All For One prefers to use forceful actions rather than emotional words.

All For One believes that his protégé, Tomura Shigaraki, has the ideal conditions to succeed him and continue his legacy. Still, All For One is aware of Tomura's general immaturity and tries to teach him how to grow as a Villain, although, unlike All Might, his methods of teaching are indirect. He speaks kindly towards Tomura and gives him encouragement when he fails.

All For One came off as quite impatient, as he wanted to get rid of the Pro Heroes and Police Force attacking the League of Villains as soon as possible. However, it is also possible that his body has a limit and he only wanted to do what he had to before the limit was reached.

All For One claims that he is unable to resist taking a Quirk once it piques his interest, much like a hoarder. He wanted to return some Quirks to their rightful owners although this appears to be an ambiguous statement. He also prefers stealing quirks that don't require extreme experience and difficulty to master, like Fiber Master.

Despite his power and authority, All For One is respectful with his subordinates and associates being generally polite rather than patronizing. Although, this can be construed as a means to maintain his status.

## Main Skills and Equipment

**All For One**: All For One's Quirk allows him to instantly steal people's Quirks and renders them the user's own. This Quirk can also transfer and grant Quirks (stolen by All For One) to other people, he can even combine his stolen Quirks to create powerful and devastating attacks. In addition, those who have their Quirk/powers stolen will be rendered comatose until All for One is defeated. Even then, the theft is permanent, and it cannot be returned without his consent. All For One has stolen a variety of Quirks with his ability:

* **Search**: All For One stole this Quirk from Ragdoll. With this Quirk, All For One can observe and monitor up to 100 people at a time, including their location and weak points.
* **Warping**: All For One can produce a black liquid that acts as a portal, similar in nature to Kurogiri's Warp Gate. It appears All For One can use this Quirk on a large scale as he produces multiple black liquid portals that transport dozens of Noumus to the League of Villains' hideout. Like Kurogiri's Warp Gate, this black liquid can also teleport people as seen when Katsuki is dissolved by the black liquid. This black liquid warping Quirk, however, has many limitations: this Quirk is not a co-ordinate based warping Quirk and can only warp things to and from his location. Also, the warping only works if it is used on someone with whom he has a close relationship.
* **Forcible Quirk Activation**: All For One processes a Quirk that allows him to forcefully activate someone's Quirk against their will, whether they are conscious or not. This Quirk creates vein-like appendages that attach to the target and activate the target's Quirk. These vein-like appendages can also be used for offensive purposes. All For One used this Quirk to forcefully activate the unconscious Kurogiri's Warp Gate and made him create a portal.
* **Springlike Limbs**: All For One is able to compress his muscles like a spring to boost the force of his physical blows as well as certain Quirks.
* **Air Cannon**: All For One fires an air shockwave from his arm that was powerful enough to blow All Might through several multi-story buildings while enhanced by several unnamed strength amplifying and instantaneous impact Quirks.
* **Impact Recoil**: This Quirk seemingly enables All For One to reverse the impact of an attack and make the opponent suffer from it.
* **Spear-like Bones**: All For One grows drill-like bone protrusions wherever he wishes on his body.
* **Multiplier**: All For One is able to grow additional arms.
* **Rivet**: All For One is able to grow tough, rivet-like protrusions on his body.
* **Infrared Ray**: All For One is able to see a very limited portion of the infrared spectrum, allowing him to compensate for his blindness somewhat.
* **Longevity**: He appears to possess a Quirk that gives him superhuman longevity, as he has outlived seven users of One For All and has remained in fighting condition despite this.
* **Shock Absorption**: All For One gave this Quirk to Nomu. It grants him the ability to absorb the shock of any attack, but it has a limit to how much it can absorb.
* **Super Regeneration**: The second Quirk that All For One gave to Nomu. It grants him the ability to regenerate lost limbs, organs, and a entire body from his severed head. However, it doesn't work on injuries that have already developed scar tissue.
* **Ultimate Combination**: All For One combines Spring-like Limbs, four Kinetic Booster Quirks, three Strength Enhancer Quirks, Proliferation, Hypertrophy, Rivet and Spear-like Bones to greatly enhance his right arm.

**Immense Strength**: All For One is extremely strong, being able to easily fend off All Might with his bare hands, especially since All Might has physical strength that was thought to be unrivaled. In his prime, he was able to effortlessly overpower pre-Nomu Hood, though he's been weakened from his battle with O'Clock and his allies.

**Immense Speed**: All For One has incredible speed, as shown when he completely destroyed the League of Villains' warehouse, defeated all the Pro Heroes that were there, and dealt significant damage to the surrounding area in a split second. He was also fast enough to react to All Might's punches.

**Immense Durability**: All For One possesses an inhuman amount of durability and resilience. Despite being in a decayed state with severe injuries, the Symbol of Evil could trade blows with All Might evenly, and unlike the latter, during the entirety of their second battle, he was never seen flinching or otherwise screaming from pain, proving that he could withstand the Symbol of Peace's destructive blows with monstrous endurance. As further proof of this, he was able to survive All Might's United States of Smash, though he was still knocked out.

**Enhanced Senses**: Due to All For One being blind, his hearing improved immensely, as he is able to perceive his surroundings by sound. He can also sense vibrations in the air. An example of this was displayed when All For One quickly dispelled a flame attack from Endeavor, who had arrived in the scene with Edgeshot. However, this ability does have its limits, which is shown when he is placed in Tartarus: the lack of sound and vibrations leaves him completely blind to his surroundings.

**Genius Intellect**: All For One possesses a genius level of intellect, most likely due to his advanced age and life experience. He is the true mastermind behind the League of Villains and has been pulling the strings the whole time. He also seems to possess a vast knowledge of the Quirks he's stolen, as shown when he knew about the advantages and disadvantages of his Warping Quirk, despite recently acquiring it. Using this extensive knowledge of Quirks in tandem with his own All For One Quirk, he can combine several Quirks to create devastating and catastrophic techniques, and even knows how to adjust the power of his combination Quirk attacks in order to blindside his opponents, and deceive them into believing that the Symbol of Evil is using his full power.

It's possible that his intelligence and observation skills increased due to stealing Ragdoll's Search Quirk, which allows the user to observe people's weak points, coupled with All for One's already impressive knowledge and fighting experience. After he dispatched the Hideout Raid team members that were present at the Nomu Factory, All For One discerned that Best Jeanist's mastery over his own Quirk, Fiber Master, involved experience and training; after correctly speculating that Fiber Master requires much refinement, All For One expressed his disinterest in taking the Quirk from Best Jeanist. When All Might arrived to battle All For One a second time, the latter calculated that 30 seconds had passed since warping several Nomus from the destroyed Nomu Factory to the Villain Hideout that was 5 kilometers away. With this calculation, All For One deduced that All Might has gotten weaker in the 6 years that elapsed since their last encounter.
Another terrifying aspect All For One's intelligence is his expertise in guerrilla warfare. While he was pinned down by All Might, All For One mentioned Nana, the Symbol of Peace's previous mentor. He continued to taunt All Might by calling Nana a pathetic hero with ideals which she couldn’t live up to, and brought up the fact the Symbol of Evil himself had killed her, resulting in a provoked All Might striking All For One in anger. Afterward, knowing that their battle was being televised, All For One decided to weaken All Might so that his true form will be exposed, all in an attempt to decrease the moral of All Might's supporters, and deprive the Symbol of Peace of his self-respect. He even went as far as to reveal Tomura as the grandson of Nana. This fact caused All Might to greatly despair over the fact he had been unknowingly battling his master's descendant. All For One elaborated on Tomura's kinship to Nana being part of the reason as to why he chose him as his successor, all so the Symbol of Evil can break All Might's spirit.
Soon after, All Might mustered the last of his power, and All For One surmised that the weakened hero could only unleash 2 or 3 more powerful punches before he is completely out of power. And once All For One and All Might reached the climax of their battle, the former came to he revelation that, while the two were exchanging blows, One For All no longer dwelled within All Might, and the latter was battling with the remaining embers of the said power; All Might was struggling to maintain what little power he had left in order to regain the strength he once had. At the same time, All For One realized that Izuku is the new inheritor of One For All that All Might had chosen. In the aftermath of the Kamino Incident, it was revealed that All For One foresaw the possibility of his defeat at the hands of All Might, and knew if that were to happen, he would be unable to transfer his All For One Quirk onto Tomura as planned. To ensure the inheritance of his power was fulfilled, the Symbol of Evil, prior to resurfacing, had his Quirk replicated by his physician, Kyudai Garaki, leaving All For One with the copied variant, and Tomura with the original variant.
