Horror AU

Existing in a world where most of the population of Japan were driven mad, and in some cases mutated, due to the Paranormal Liberation Front unknowingly unleashing an experimental chemical weapon which they had procured within an off shore HPSC warehouse during one of their raids. This is considered to be one of the many villain AU's due to the fact that most individuals in Japan now act monstrous and savage, with only a limited amount of people being naturally immune to whatever weapon was unleashed upon the nation. However, albeit very rarely, those who've turned insane may sometimes temporarily revert to a sane mindset were they'll become extensively aware of what they've done, with many who enter this state suddenly committing suicide due to the ***horror*** of their actions or in a desperate attempt to escape their unescapable mental prison.

## The Vessel Virus

For further detail, the biological weapon (codenamed; *Vessel*) which functions similarly to a virus was stolen by the PLF, was a weapon initially designed to help heroes combat against foes such as the PLF or the CRC (the Creature Rejection Clan) in a situation where villains couldn't be taken into custody, such as the case between Hawks and Twice (aka Jin Bubaigawara) during the PLF mansion raid. However, the thing that was stolen was merely a prototype due to the project being cancelled just after its development, with those who're left higher up in HPSC hierarchy calling it a weapon of war and not peace (which it was initially proposed as, saying it would help quell violence like a nuclear deterrent against crime). But before it could of been disposed of, the PLF initiated their splinter attack against the storage warehouse it was being kept in, with the HPSC having planned to keep it there until professionals from the military could arrive to disassemble it.

## Characters

### **UA Highschool:**

Because of the chemical weapon unleashed upon Japan and its citizens, many from UA either died due to its initial effects or turned insane like many others across the country (with some students and staff even mutating slightly). However, not everyone met this morbid fate. Some individuals turned out to be immune to the chemical weapon, however the reason why is still unknown (i.e. whether it's due to their quirks or some other unknown factor).

#### **Class 1-A:**

* **Aoyama Yuuga:**
* **Mina Ashido:**
* **Tsuyu Asui:** A tragedy it is for Asui because she did become mutated. She turned into a hideous scary human frog that looked deformed. The scariest part was that she became obsessed with human flesh and wants to devour anyone she could find. She is classified as one of the horrifying mutated people there are.
* **Tenya Iida:**
* **Mashirao Ojiro:**
* **Denki Kaminari:**
* **Eijirou Kirishima:**
* **Kouji Koda:**
* **Rikidou Satou:**
* **Mezou Shoji:**
* **Kyouka Jirou:**
* **Hanta Sero:**
* **Ochaco Uraraka:** Unfortunately, Uraraka got infected and did become infected. She became insane but not in a way you would think. Instead of being on a rampage of murdering people (technically that could happen with her being a yandere and all), she sets her eyes on Izuku Midoriya. Bluntly Uraraka became a yandere, and since she has a crush on Midoriya she would of course be obsessed with him. She deceived everyone to believe she wasn't infected just to get close to Midoriya. Later on, people would realize that and kept her away from the survivors.
* **Fumukage Tokoyami:** Interestingly enough, most likely due to his very unique quirk. When Tokoyami first got infected by the weapon, instead of turning insane or mutating, he was instead consumed by his own quirk (dark shadow) and due to its sentience and ability to grow stronger depending on Tokoyami emotions and the amount of darkness its surrounded by, he was transformed into the very monster he swore not to be. Locked in a futile cycle of trying to regain his body, only to be met with the chilling sound of laughter and the endless stench of crimson iron soaking into the ground.
* **Shouto Todoroki:** Being one of the many within his class to fall victim to the *Vessel virus* and become insane, it's quite easy to tell he's no longer himself, both in mind and in body. Specifically, due to the initial effects of the virus running its course throughout his body, all of Todoroki's veins now hum a vibrant icy blue which glows softly in dark just like all the other infected but along with that change there is another, instead of being a cold gunmetal grey Todoroki's right eye is now completely bloodshot with a dull pink iris. The reason its only his right eye that changed is because of the fact the whole left side of his face (alongside his neck and part of his torso) is now covered in brutal third degree burns similar to that of Dabi's scars, with his damaged left eye now resembling frosted glass due to losing his vision in that eye. But alongside that, he now styles his hair so that his left side is now partially covering his right side with a partial undercut. However like I previously stated, it wasn't only his body that changed. Due to the madness now ingrained inside of his mind like a parasite, Todoroki is now extremely sadistic and manipulative and will kill anybody that gets on his bad side (which is very easy for someone to accomplish, even unknowingly) or who disobeys his orders, with himself even believing he's Japan's destined ruler who'll bring back "honour" and "glory" to their sacred land under the self appointed title of Shogun. Because of his newly gained god complex, Todoroki can also be regularly found wearing a crown either made entirely of ice or fire depending on his mood. Moving on however, Todoroki's all but forgotten his former friendships such as Midoriya or Bakugou, believing them to be nothing but a waste of time with him preferring to just capture woman and use them as he pleases with the notion that a king like the ones of old shouldn't be bound to just one wife.

* **Tooru Hagakure:**
* **Katsuki Bakugou:** Unlike many of those within Japan, Bakugou mysteriously displays an apart immunity to the weapons biological effects. With the only visible indicator of him even coming into contact with it being his eyes, which changed from a vibrant red to dull fiery orange which hums with power whenever his quirk is activated. However, other than that he hasn't displayed any signs of mutations or any psychotic behaviour which is common amongst the infected. Furthermore, due to this fact, Bakugou has devoted his time and effort into contacting other survivors alongside Juzo Honenuki and Hitoshi Shinsou (two fellow survivors whom he encountered just after escaping UA) in a desperate attempt to reestablish a central base of operations in which they can use to contact any of survivors or even the outside world since most forms of communication was mysteriously severed around the time the weapon activated. He started to become more serious and aggressive then his original self.
* **Izuku Midoriya:** He is one of the rarest types of people because typically you would think that either you get infected, or you don't. For this case he has both. He did get infected and went insane somewhat, but the thing was that he didn't actually lose all his sanity. He is usually seen as uninfected around others such as Bakugou, and Yaoyorozu, but when he is in a period of stress or negativity, he becomes insane for a period of time. If it gets out of hand, he will most likely end up murdering someone. When this happens usually Bakugou or Yaoyorozu typically need to snap him out of it. He stays by the survivors and remains in a calm mood most of the time. What drives him to not give into the darkness is the hope that this world which has been turned into a hellhole can be once again be a place where people can live in peace. His deep-down wishes that this nightmare could end.
* **Minoru Mineta:** Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you view it, Mineta wasn't bestowed the same fate as his classmates. Instead of turning insane or mutating, Mineta alongside many others died in the initial outbreak of the weapon, most likely due to his rather weak willed mind or an unnoticed underlying decease which reacted badly to the invading chemicals. Leading to his sudden and untimely demise.
* **Momo Yaoyorozu:** Like Bakugou, Momo is also one of the few who're naturally immune to the Vessel virus and hasn't turned either insane or muted beyond recognition, however that doesn't mean she hasn't been affected. Being confined within the Frozen keep, Todoroki's main base of operations and home located upon the destroyed remnant of U.A. High taking the form of a traditional Japanese castle mainly constructed from stone and ice, Momo is one of the women Todoroki has imprisoned and deemed his future wife (which she wouldn't have been opposed to if the situation was any different) as well as being his "favourite", whatever that means. Furthermore, as time slowly passes, Momo has began to become more and more empty and broken inside, seeing no hope in her or anyone else's future apart from the welcoming embrace of death (something she's very much happy to accept). However, she has no plans of leaving this world just yet. Memories of the past, of her and her friends striving to become heroes together, thats now the only thing that keeps her going and pushes her to save anyone she can from the fate dealt to them, even if it means going against her ideals as a hero and killing whoever stands in her way. Todoroki included.

### **I-Island:**

* **The Director:** Supposedly being located upon the restricted top floor of the I-Island tower, the Director is the individual in charge of the moving seafaring scientific fortress and upon the island his word is law. No one knows who exactly the director is (with the only exception possibly being a man by the name of Simon Kruger, the islands head of security), with any and all meetings with this mysterious individual being done through screens which only reveal a basic and blurry genderless silhouette alongside a heavily modulated voice filter or through intermediaries whose faces are never seen. However, it is known that the Director has, or used to have, a strong relationship to the higher ups within the HPSC of japan due to the amount of times the island would visit the country in question, but thats ceased to matter due to the fact the island is now several Km off the shoreline of Tokyo. Other than that, the only other known facts about the director is his negative relationship with one of the islands best scientists, David Shield. Whenever David and the Director meet, an argument is almost certainly going to erupt due to them both having clashing ideas and motives, with David even going as far as to command his daughter (which is very of him to do) to stay as far away from the director as she can.
* **Simon Kruger:** As previously mentioned, Simon Kruger is the head of I-Island's security as well as being the leader of the Japanese Reclamation Taskforce (or the JRT for short), a group founded under the order of the Director whose main goal is to take back control of Japan and meet up with any and all survivors of the Vessel virus. Furthermore, Simon is an ex special forces military commander who'd worked for the US military for almost 25 years prior to his venture to I-Island due to the Director personally requesting him after he'd been mysteriously discharged. However, just like the Director, Simon also seems to hold a grudge against David Shield due to the man constantly butting his nose into his and his boss's business and getting in the way of his orders, something that he'd come to find out is common within the Shield family. Although, currently Simons job is to lead the JRT and regain control of Japan and weed out and eliminate all of the infected from the nation alongside meeting up and taking care of any survivors they may encounter along the way.

* **David Shield:** Being one of the only few individuals apart from the Director and the JRC who knows about the situation in Japan, David Shield is dedicated to finding a cure for the Vessel Virus no matter the costs, even if it requires sacrificing his own life to do so. However, he isn't naive and he knows that most of the people of Japan have been completely overtaken by the madness that's now within them and won't hesitate to kill them if they threaten either his daughter or any other non-infected individuals.
* **Melissa Shield:** Having heard about the situation going on within Japan by eavesdropping on one of her fathers arguments with Mr Kruger, alongside an urge to see All Might and Midoriya again, just like her father Melissa wants to find a cure for whatever effecting her friends and everyone else in Japan. However, unlike her father, Melissa isn't willing to compromise her ideals in order to save someone and wants to save everyone regardless of who they are or what they've done in the past, to her no one deserves the hand dealt to those in Japan.

## The Legion

Formerly belonging to the LOV under the supervision of Doctor Ujiko and All for One, the Legion is the last remnants of the Nomu project which broke away from their masters and used their semi sentience and indomitable power to subjugate and destroy anyone or anything which gets in their way. Furthermore, in charge of the Legion is a Nomu only known as *Alpha*, the so called strongest Nomu who supposedly has the ability to telepathically communicate with all of his "subjects" willingly like a type of hive mind.
