Roleswap AU

**Boku no Hero Academia Roleswap AU** is the swap alternate universe created by Anormal1Otaku.

In this AU, villains are heroes, heroes are villains, vigilantes become citizens(like doctors, teachers, housewives, etc.) and citizens becomes either vigilantes or villains too. There's no villain school, U.A.'s still a hero high school, I tried to make it close to the canon AU, just swapping roles and changing some events.

***\*The AU's not finished yet, if you have an idea, you can leave it on the comments! I'm editing this slowly because I have school and work, and I don't have much time to edit all of it at once, sorry!***

## Story

The world lives in a hero era, with the oldest and most powerful hero bringing hope and justice to all those that live in Japan, he is the number one hero All for One. His big power brought many evils to despise him and wish for his head, one of them is the most wanted and feared villain, All Might, who attacks at night saying the same phrase, "Be afraid, because I am here.", his motives are simple, destroy All for One and his hero legacy, together with the charismatic and "weak" descendant of the Pro Hero, Tomura Shigaraki.

The story is told from the perspective of Himiko Toga, a second-year hero student, and Tomura Shigaraki, aka the Pro Hero Enerust, both protagonists of the Roleswap AU.

## Villains

### T.A.(To Aku/党悪)

Name chosen because it's the kanji villain written in reversed. Villain organization where the most important/main antagonists are.

#### **All Might:**

The former boss of T.A. Raised by Nana to hate all heroes, but Stain came to be an exception. Became a villain after All for One turned down the idea of someone like him, a quirkless person, being a hero, which led him to bumping into Nana Shimura and Gran Torino. He and Endeavor are enemies to the core, having a Shigaraki-Overhaul kind of relationship, with All Might always taunting Endeavor on his failures. His trademark is his smile, together with his famous phrase "Be afraid, because I am here!". After Midoriya was brought to T.A, he saw a bit of himself on the boy, and decided to make him his successor and pass down the same ideals as his. After a final confront with All for One, he was arrested on Tartarus.

#### **Present Mic:**

A loud villain that loves rock, trying to keep the organisation together in terms of friendship and alliance. In the past, he has tried to be a hero, but after Oboro died and Aizawa defected to villainy, he started to doubt the morals of heroism and joined the Hero Killers. Currently, he's one of the main responsibles for teaching the young villains about the ideals of the main Hero Killer after he was caught and arrested. He's often around Eraser, Midnight, and even visits Ingenium. Successfully helped Eraser Head flee Tartarus and introduced him to the teen villains, giving him the title of their newest mentor. During the war, he was arrested and is put to interrogation by Kurogiri.

#### **Nezu:**

He's the manager, always making sure they don't spend too much money or get caught stealing money. He's a fancy animal and is always making sure the villains (adults or not) are okay and feeling well. He likes to see them in combat, especially Team A and The Hero Killers.

#### **Eraser Head:**

The infamous Hero Killer, and formerly known as the Night Devil. His villain path after Oboro's death, caused by the mistake of a Pro Hero and leading him to question society and the so called heroes, even the future heroes. He became a traitor with Nemuri, revealing himself during his second year and starting his famous path to clean society of the fake heroes. To him, there's no such thing as a true hero, except for one blue-haired man with a brave selfless heart. He is responsible for the amputation of Mr. Compress' arm, since he was the one to slice it off during his reveal as the traitor at U.A. His goal was to work solo and only have Nemuri as an aiding ally, but eventually, he became the accidental leader of the Hero Killers. The group became famous and feared enough for other organisations to want them by themselves, which Eraser avoided for a while until All Might and Nemuri eventually convinced him to join the T.A. He has tutored the Big Three, and after his return from Tartarus, he simply accepted to train and tutor 19 plus kids. He adopted three kids, those being Izuku, Shinsou and Eri. Was arrested after confronting Toga, Dabi and Shigaraki, and only fled after the Big Three together with Mic made a havoc in Tartarus. Eventually, he returned to Tartarus after being defeated in the war, and willingly amputated his own leg.

#### **Midnight:**

One of the Hero Killers and the cause of its existence. After her parents died in an accident during a hero-villain combat, she felt alone and abandoned. Nobody came for her, nobody but His Purple Majesty, who took her in and raised her, managing to sneak her into U.A. as a traitor and a spy for him. She grew very close to Aizawa, Hizashi and Oboro, and after Oboro's death, she immediately caught up to Aizawa's state. She took advantage of it and got him to join the villain side, although they were not exactly a team, they just helped each other when needed. Thanks to her, Ingenium tagged along, and she got the two to give His Purple Majesty a chance to help with medical aids and food, stuff Aizawa and Ingenium struggled with. She was the one to judge the names of each young villain that tagged along, and of course, give a little hand on the training. She and Mt. Lady despise each other to the heart, even plot killing each other. Her main strategies are posing sexy and being flirty, but it doesn't work all of the time. She was killed during the war.

#### **Recovery Girl:**

The nurse of T.A. Although a villain, she has a very kind and compassionate personality, where she treats everyone kindly, though she does have a strict and reproaching attitude towards those that have done something foolish. She's mostly like this with All Might for not teaching Izuku how to use his quirk properly or with Deku for using his quirk recklessly, especially when they attack U.A. and he encounters Himiko Toga. Izuku seeks her for love advice, since he considers her a wise lady for being old and for living a lot longer than he did.

#### **Vlad King:**

One of the lieutenants of T.A. He used to be the boss of organization named Wonderland, but after having his pupils, allies and going himself after T.A. and being defeated, the organisations merged and kept the name T.A. His goals on villany were always of becoming greater, and to find justice for those with "villainous" abilities such as himself. After the division of teams (Team A and Team B), he took role on mentoring Team B and always encouraged them to tru surpassing Team A, an attempt of turning tables and proving they're stronger.

#### **Gran Torino:**

After Nana Shimura's death, All Might was entrusted to him to be protected, and now, All Might entrusted Midoriya to him to also be protected. His relationship with All Might is a similar one to Kurogiri-Shigaraki, while Midoriya managed to become more likeable towards the villain. Gran Torino didn't train him, he merely took care of the great villain and his successor. All Might states that if it weren't for Midoriya, he would have killed him or something similar, but the elder villain never bothered. He's following the last wishes of Nana Shimura to protect her successor, and that's all that he cares about, and now, he cares about the order given to him by All Might to protect Midoriya.

#### **Hitoshi Shinso/Hitoshi Aizawa:**

He was found and adopted by Eraser. Eraser trained him, and gave him permission to be both Team A and B's boss for a while. Vlad agreed with that, since they would decide which team he would join later on. Both Team A and B consider him as a big prize, for Team A, especially Denki, a new member and friend. He started to hang out with Monoma recently, but he gets along with both teams. He likes to take care of his little sister. He admired Eraser and his ideologies a long time before meeting him.

#### **Eri (Aizawa):**

The former adoptive daughter of Overhaul. She was treated like a tool to impress/surpass Enerust, but no Pro Hero ever saw the abuse happen. Overhaul would inject things on her to improve her quirk or to extract it. He used some of the samples he took from her to make Quirk Destroying Drugs. One day, the villains found their way in the Shie Hassaikai Agency and start an attack. The Big Three make their entrance with the Hero Killer and Midoriya, taking Eri with them for the same reasons Aizaw took Midoriya with him — victims of the hero society. When Overhaul lost his arms, she was with Mirio, watching while having a piggy back ride.

### Jigoku(地獄)

A villain organization filled with secondary/support antagonists.

#### **Endeavor:**

A feared villain with only one goal in mind: taking over All Might's villain empire. He's the boss of Jigoku, and still married Rei merely for her quirk, but what he was unaware of was the fact that she was a vigilante herself with her own plans. After Toya's "death", all is revealed and she is locked away before she can do anything. He hates All Might with all his heart and soul, and despises being mocked by him. In the past, he had a small villain academy where he forced Toya to be in, and even Shoto for a brief moment, before Dabi managed to wreck it all down. He was defeated and captured by the Pro Hero Bluenix and the vigilantes Cold Stars.

#### **Hawks:**

A young villain fanatic for Endeavor's ideology, although, he's blinded by the lies of the man. He was part of the villain academy Endeavor made, even befriending Toya there, before they had a huge argument that led Toya into hating Hawks. He and Miruko were the only teenage villain survivours of the confront between the heroes and villains that got the whole place down, and from that day on, he became obsessed with the blue flames hero. He always shows off the burn scars he has and where they came from. Teasing Bluenix is one of his favourite hobbies, as well as hanging out with Miruko. To infiltrate the League of Heroes, he pretended to want redemption and took for granted the kindness of Tomura Shigaraki. After the betrayal, he killed Twice, and as a cost his wings got burned. After fighting the improved Himiko Toga, he was defeated and arrested as well.

#### **Miruko:**

When she was younger, she survived a fire that happened while she was in the only villain "school" in Japan, she joined Hawks while she was younger but nowadays she has her own villain organization. When younger, she helped attack U.A., she once managed to capture Tomura Shigaraki, but he ended up being rescued by his classmates. She's a free spirit, doesn't care about her actions, doesn't think about what she's going to say, she acts reckless sometimes.

−

### Team A(T.A.)

A secondary team formed of 18 (formerly 20) teenagers after the merge of T.A. with Vlad King's organization, Wonderland.

#### **Yuga Aoyama:**

The hero student, a spy among the villains. He works for All for One as a spy, joining the group under the lie that he believed on the same things as the Hero Killer. As a child, he was born quirkless, feeling himself as useless and worthless. When he grew up, his family moved to Japan, where he met All for One. All for One didn't want another person to end up like All Might, as he believes he wasn't fast enough to give him a quirk and grant his wish of being a hero, he decided to offer Aoyama's family a new quirk for Yuga, which the parents and kid accepted. Acting like a villain, he acts as selfish, vain and prideful, pretending to think he's above his teammates. He likes having attention, but disappears during attacks to U.A. for multiple reasons, one of them is being kinda scared of fighting and prefering to hide. His true self is more caring, although confident and slightly arrogant, and a showman, although he doesn't see All for One as heroic as he used to after having Enerust as his mentor and hanging out a bit with Toga.

#### **Mina Ashido:**

The most cheerful villain of the team. When she was younger, people made fun of her for her appearance, and even her great personality didn't let her slide from the bullying. Although she was a very helpful girl, bringing together even the ones that hated each other, she was still doubted and stepped on, excluded from being a hero for her appearance. When she heard of the Hero Killer and his ideals, she started to slowly become an admirer, and soon, want to follow him. After hearing of his arrest, she went after the organisation he worked in and joined as the villainess Alien Queen. S's a cheerful showgirl with a passion for dancing, with a smile on her face most of the time. She gets along easily with people too.

#### **Tsuyu Asui:**

People always underestimated her because she's a frog, she wanted that to stop, so she followed the Hero Killer's ideologies and joined T.A. after he was arrested. She lets her teammates call her Tsu, but only the ones she considers her friends. She's straightforward and aloof, always speaking bluntly from her mind and what she's thinking about, she rarely cries or shows emotional weakness, she's one of the most smart people from Team A, and that's why they choose her to be Team A's third boss.

#### **Tenya Iida:**

He follows his brother and family's path, since he was a child, his brother, Tensei, always told him about how being a villain is not just about being evil, Ingenium also told him about the world's cruelty, and thanks to that, he joined his brother's organization, T.A., after the hero killer was arrested. He's very sophisticated, intelligent, noble and disciplined, most of the time karate chopping the air when talking, he takes everything seriously and has an habit of jumping to conclusions. He's Team A's primary boss.

#### **Ochaco Uraraka:**

Also believing in Eraser Head's ideologies, she joined T.A. after his arrest. She can be an airhead sometimes, she's kinda possessive after she met and fell in love with Deku, especially after she noticed he had an obssession with Himiko, but times later, she ended up falling in love with her too, taking into account that she is in love with both of them, hiding that feeling she feels about both of them. She hates to be underestimated and she can have a intimidating attitude whenever that happens or whenever she loses her patience in a battle.

#### **Mashirao Ojiro:**

He also joined because of the hero killer. Sometimes, when excited, he wags his tail, in a similar way to a dog(that was only in the manga, but I'll be adding this in the AU), he has a really calm and noble attitude, as well as a deep sense of dignity, he's a hard worker and he gets along with Kaminari, along with his sense of dignity he can be described as sheepish and bashful, as not being a fan of being on the spotlight and easily being embarrassed, he's also very humble and focused, not easily being defeated by a hero.

#### **Denki Kaminari:**

Also there because of being inspired by the hero killer, he joined T.A. searching for a way to stop fake heroes, being convinced that real heroes don't exist, until Eraser told them about his thoughts on the hero Enerust. He's very social and energetic, but even so, he's always careful with who he's talking to, losing focus whenever using his quirk on battlefield giving the heroes the opportunity to easily capture him, he likes to hang out with the Bakusquad, being sometimes a flirty guy towards the girls of his team and Team B too, sometimes he hangs out with Mineta.

#### **Mezo Shoji:**

As a child, he was bullied, and scared people because of his appearance, thanks to that, he ended up growing hate towards society, he once met the hero killer, who told him about the world, and after the hero killer was arrested, he joined T.A. He's a very friendly and gentle person around the ones he trusts, he claims to hold no desire for material things, he only wants to change the corrupted and unjust hero society.

#### **Katsuki Bakugo:**

Bullied Izuku when he was younger, but they separated thanks to the hero killer intervention, he never saw Midoriya again until he turned 15 and went after T.A., he ended up in Team A thanks to All Might wanting him in there, but he wasn't aware Deku would keep on beating him up. Both his parents are vigilantes. He gets along with Kirishima and even created the Bakusquad, he hates Monoma and wants Hitoshi on his team just to show their team is better and to shove it on Monoma's face. Currently dead.

#### **Izuku Midoriya/Izuku Aizawa:**

When he was a child, he was friends with Bakugo, he liked to call him Kacchan, until Bakugo developed his quirk, and him with his mother found out he was quirkless, he ended up being bullied by Bakugo, but after some years, both him and Bakugo with the other bullied ended up meeting the hero killer, Katsuki and the bullies ran away, but Izuku stayed there, waiting for death while crying, but Eraser instead of killing him, helped him, his mother was too busy being a vigilante, Izuku felt abandoned by her, so he accepted going with Eraser. He grew up learning how to use knifes and swords, since his dad uses them, he also changed his surname to Aizawa, and his villain name became Deku.

After he met All Might and turned 15, he gained One for All and became a sadist, always loving to see the pain in other people, especially after him and All Might torture his old bullies, nowadays he loves to beat up Bakugo, and he fell in love with Toga after seeing her hurt, having an obsession with both her and Ochaco Uraraka.

During his fight with Monoma and Shinso, Yoichi offered to take over Izuku's body to help him control his new unlocked ability, which he accepted, but after the battle was over Izuku convinced Yoichi to keep in control of his body until they defeat All for One and now he's possessed. Izuku used to be Team A's quaternary boss, after the possession he became T.A.'s new leader.

### The Big Three

#### **Mirio Togata/Lemilion:**

When he was a small child, he accidentally fell into a river, but no hero came to help him, instead, a villain saved him, and then, he ran away. As he grew, he started to despise the hero society, so he became Lemilion, because of he has one million reasons to destroy hero society. He's extremely energetic and goofy with some peculiar habits, being the leader of the big three even if he was the last one to join the trio, he's the strongest of them, doing most of the dirty work. He can be manipulative, he knows what to say to get what he wants. Works with Deku too, since they both were being trained under All Might and All Might's right arm, Sir Nighteye.

#### **Nejire Hado/Nejire-Chan:**

Being a villain thanks to being underestimated, she's known for being the weakest in the big three, but that doesn't mean she's not capable of destroying. Most of the time she's destroying stuff and when something goes wrong, she creates illusions to distract the heroes and flee with the others. She's a very curious girl, being easily distracted by people's unique physical features since she's really interested in these things, sometimes even being kinda invasive. She entered U.A. in the first year, but just to gather information, she was discovered in the middle of her second year.

#### **Tamaki Amajiki/Sun Eater:**

As being Eraser's first student, he grew understanding how the hero society is bad, he met Mirio while they both were in third year from middle school and became close friends, he didn't tell Mirio about him training under a villain organization until Mirio told him about what he thinks of the hero society. He's extremely shy, aloof, introverted, but he can be intimidating sometimes, he doesn't kill that much, he leaves it to Mirio and Nejire, but that doesn't mean he's not capable of doing it, he prefers making the plans, and thanks to Mirio's confidence and helping him to believe more in himself, he can even make awesome plans. He hangs out with Kirishima too, since both of them were chosen by Fat Gum before Eraser came back to T.A. to train Team A.

## Heroes

### League of Heroes

#### **All for One:**

The ex number one hero. He retired after defeating All Might, he gave his quirk to his adopted son, Tomura Shigaraki, also known as Enerust.

#### **Tomura Shigaraki/Enerust:**

After accidentally killing his family, he was found and adopted by All for One, achieving his dream of becoming a Pro Hero, he gets along with Spinner, since both studied together and they both love playing video games. He loves to flirt with Bluenix, since he rarely shows any emotions, but the two can get along sometimes. He doesn't care about his life as long as he can protect and save the ones in danger, because of that he acts recklessly, trying to save everyone he can, he'll break bones, get shot, even die just to protect people. He's the only one the hero killer, Eraser Head, considers a true hero. He was supposed to be dead, but he survived thanks to his Life Spam quirk. He likes to use the term "crazy", like "you got some crazy ideas", he's always smiling and he believes that people need to smile even in the worse situations. His hero name is a pun between energy, dust, and a third word, rust, he choose to be Enerust because he wants to use all his energy to save everyone that he can, he also changed the meaning of the All for One motto, turning it to "All my efforts for One life.".

He doesn't show much emotions, sometimes can get really mad. He's class 2-A's teacher from U.A., being also Toga's teacher. He has an obssession with arresting Endeavor and Hawks. He's a strict teacher just as OP as Endeavor would be in the canon universe if he was a teacher. After the accident, he ran away to try and become at least a Vigilante, he was found by the hero Stain, who decided to train him, and as he didn't want to reveal his real name, so he came up with "Dabi" and lied saying that the couldn't remember anything from his past but that name, but told the truth in the future.

Toga was abandoned in the streets by her parents by the time Toya faked his death, the two met and helped each other survive until Stain found them both. In the future, she entered U.A., she didn't pass the entrance exams, but managed to get transfered to the hero course in second year. She's a cheerful girl who's always smiling, she's positive about every situation and believes the same Enerust does, that she can save everyone, and she believes she can save Deku and Uraraka.

When Dabi ran away to catch Endeavor and take little Shoto back, she knew where he was all along, but she couldn't directly interact with the Pro Heroes, so she helped in the background. Until today, she tries her best to save her youngest son from her ex husband.

## Extras(optional):

* All for One gave Tomura his quirk to try possess him and steal OFA quirk, believing he would save his brother, but he couldn't possess Tomura due to his rage being really low.
* Since the operation on Shigaraki gaining All for One was 100% complete, he has the full control over the various quirks he possesses and he "can" steal One for All, but he doesn't want to steal it, instead he stole 5 other quirks.
* Star and Stripes managed to kill Tomura Shigaraki, but she was defeated by Toga sometime after and got her head crushed by Midoriya while he was possessed by Yoichi.
* Shigaraki gave the All for One quirk to Himiko Toga, before dying, he gave her a more powerful version, where she's allowed to use all the previous AFO users' originals and stolen quirks thanks to a connection quirk Shigaraki stole, she unlocks the quirks during some battles.
* Shigaraki came back to life thanks to All for One's immortality quirk, but AFO sent him to the US for extra training with AFO quirk and to make sure he wouldn't be killed again, but in reality, it was only so Shigaraki wouldn't get in AFO's way of convincing Toga to steal OFA.
* All Might gave Bakugo the One for All quirk in the same times as Midoriya, but he lost it after being defeated by Toga and later killed by Yoichi.
* Instead of having his family's hands, Tomura often puts his own hands where the canon hands would be placed, when laughing, he puts his hands in his waist or chest, and etc.
* Shigaraki ended up finding out Bluenix's real name, but he swore he wouldn't tell anyone, and he kept his promise until Bluenix revealed himself.
