All For One

## **Introduction**

All For One, real name *Shigaraki*, was the former leader and benefactor of the League Of Villians. He is the arch nemesis of All Might and Deku and the overarching antagonist of the *My Hero Academia Series* and one of the primary antagonists of *War of Discoveries*. He, along with the rest of the League have now allied with the Cult Of The End.

## **Personality**

All For One is a megalomaniac and an expedient psychopath. His brother gave insights on his personality to Izuku Midoriya in a dream. While All For One did use his powers to help people, it was done with ulterior motives, and he asked for their aid in exchange for 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. 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, and refused to kill him as he was the only family he had left, giving him a Quirk to make him more powerful. He has the belief that without power, one cannot assert his ideals, and he does not believe in justice and morality, claiming that they conform to reality.

All For One believes that his protégé, Tomura, 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 to Tomura and gives him encouragement when he fails.

All For One has proven to be quite self-absorbed and obsessed with his powers, as he himself stated that he is unable to resist taking a Quirk once it piques his interest, much like a hoarder or kleptomaniac, even if he never truly had any true necessity for such a Quirk from the outset. He claims he wanted to return some Quirks to their rightful owners but follows up by saying that a Quirk has to be used whenever possible, and sooner rather than later. He particularly enjoyed being able to mix his different stolen Quirks to create powerful combo attacks, and despite already being massively powerful, even with his damaged body, he still wanted to stock up on multiple Quirks.

## **History (My Hero Academia Series)**

When Quirks started to appear in the world so did society period of societal collapse and an age of upheaval. During this time, a man with an overwhelmingly powerful Quirk called All For One arose in Japan and decided to take advantage of the chaos. He stole many Quirks, attaining immense power and influence.

Using the power, he obtained many followers and manipulated them to gather power until eventually he became Japan's ruler though he ruled from shadows, as most of his actions in the present day are only known as rumors on the internet.

## **Powers and Abilities**

### **Quirks**

**All For One**: All For One's Quirk allows him to steal people's Quirks, leaving them Quirkless and allowing him to use the stolen superpowers as if they were his own. All For One can also redistribute his stolen Quirks to other people. This Quirk allows him to negate the usual strains on the body from having multiple Quirks.

His multiple Quirks grant him a wide variety of options in combat, and he can combine his stolen Quirks to create compound attacks with devastating effects. However, he cannot steal the original users' Quirk proficiency and is therefore limited by his own skill with his stolen powers. Because of this, he prefers to steal Quirks that rely on raw power, rather than ones that take practice and experience to master.

All For One has stolen a wide variety of Quirks with his ability. These include:

* **Search**: A Quirk he stole from Tomoko Shiretoko. This Quirk allows him to observe up to a hundred people, their whereabouts and weak points.
