Well, you could have an MHA OC who is a villain - turned - hero. Their backstory could involve being mistreated and turning to villainy, but then being inspired by the heroes to change their ways. Maybe they have a quirk that involves shadow manipulation, which they used for evil before but now use for good. Or an OC that is a tech - genius and creates their own high - tech hero gear, much like Mei Hatsume but with their own unique style. Also, an OC with a healing quirk could be interesting, especially if they have to deal with the moral dilemma of whether to heal villains or not.
One common theme is self - discovery. The reincarnated OC often has to figure out who they are in this new world and how their previous life and new circumstances interact. Another is the struggle for power. Since the MHA world is centered around quirks, the OC usually has to find a way to gain power or use their unique skills.
First, you need to create a unique villain OC. Think about their backstory, what made them turn bad. For example, if they had a tragic childhood event like being bullied or abandoned. Then, consider their powers. It should be something that fits the MHA universe. Maybe a power related to shadows or mind control. Also, give them a distinct personality. Are they cold - hearted, or do they have a soft side? When writing the fanfiction, start with an interesting hook to draw readers in, like a mysterious crime scene caused by your villain OC.
The uniqueness. The OC cats can have all kinds of quirks and personalities that we don't see in the original MHA. It's like adding a whole new element to the familiar world.
Another factor is the flexibility. Since it's fan - made, the rules of the MHA world can be bent a little to accommodate the gamer OC. For example, the OC could have a quirk that is based on a game mechanic. This allows for some really imaginative and out - of - the - box storylines. The ability to merge two different and popular concepts, that of MHA and gaming, attracts a wide range of readers who are fans of either or both.
One common theme is identity struggle. Since the OC is now in Shoto's body, they have to figure out how to balance their original self with the new identity. Another theme is power exploration. They have to learn to use Shoto's quirk effectively. And also, family relationships are often explored as Shoto has a complex family situation in MHA.
Sure. 'Reincarnated as a Quirkless Hero in My Hero Academia' is a great one. It has an interesting plot where the OC, who is reincarnated, has to find their way in the MHA world without a quirk at first. Another one is 'My Reincarnated Life in MHA'. It focuses on the character development of the reincarnated OC as they interact with the well - known MHA characters.
One great MHA OC cat fanfiction is 'The Cat - Hero in Disguise'. It features an OC cat with unique quirks that add an interesting twist to the MHA universe.
In MHA villain OC fanfiction, a mistake is not giving the villain OC a clear motivation. Just being evil for the sake of it is boring. Their actions should be driven by something, like a desire for revenge or power. Don't make their design too outlandish that it doesn't seem like it belongs in the MHA world. And don't forget about character development. If the villain OC is just static throughout the story, it won't be engaging. They should grow or change in some way, even if it's a downward spiral into more evil.
Well, there's 'My Reincarnation as Shoto' which has an interesting take on the concept. The story focuses on how the OC's memories and personality change the way Shoto approaches relationships with his family and friends in the MHA universe. There are also some fanfics that are less well - known but still great, like 'Reincarnated into Shoto's World' where the OC - turned - Shoto has to deal with the villains in a unique way based on their previous life experiences.
