Description i've had these guys in my mind for sO LONG,, lol
they play an important role in ankoku's story as they're the main reasons why she grew up to be the way she is so i couldn't wait to introduce them lol




Ankoku's parents during highschool; they're currently around the same age as Aizawa and Present Mic. They both attended UA which is the main reason why Ankoku decided to attend Shiketsu instead; she didn't want to be associated with them in any way.

Kouyou dropped out of school upon finding out she was pregnant with Ankoku. Due to Higure not wanting anything to do with her or the baby (since he didn't want a kid in the slightest and wanted to focus on his dream instead), she raised Ankoku on her own, so she could never really graduate.

Higure, on the other hand, graduated and worked as a hero under the name "Oblivion", and rapidly grew in popularity despite his lack of warmth and charisma. His aloof, quiet persona was perceived as "cool and mysterious" by the younger people, whereas the older generations appreciated his technique and high success rate when it came to fighting villains. His hero carreer ended abruptly years later, after an incident in which he found himself forced to overuse his quirk and push his body's limits to the extreme in order to save people in danger. This left him permanently damaged and almost unable to use his quirk. 

Ankoku saw the news about his sudden demise when she was in middle school. She was aware of who her father was despite never meeting him in person; her knowledge about him was limited to short videos, internet forums and the occassional times she's seen him on tv doing interviews.

______


  • "Utsuro" (虚ろ) means cavity, empty space, whereas Higure (日暮) means dusk. His full name roughly translates to hollow dusk and it alludes to his quirk being practically an endless void, much like the sky.
  •  Ankoku and her mother are very different to the point of being considered opposites. This contrast between them is even present in her names: Ankoku (闇黒) means "darkness", whereas Kouyou (晃曜) means "dazzling brightness."
  •  "Mayoi" is a combination of "Ma" (間, "gap", "space", "pause") and Yoi" (宵 "early night"), but it's also an homophone for 迷い ("mayoi") which means "astray" or "to lose one's way." 

    • Ankoku hasn't mastered her portal quirk yet and has trouble controlling it, especially when her feelings get the best of her. (For example, if deep inside she doesn't want to leave, she might get stuck halfway in the portal, or might open her destination portal in the same room, finding herself in a loop. She also has trouble to portal to locations she's not familiar with, often ending up in random places if she attempts to. Her mother, Kouyou, had the same exact issue with her teleportation quirk back when she was young.
    • Due to "Mayoi" being an homophone for being lost, it makes it a rather unlucky family name with negative connotations, which is why Ankoku hates being referred to by it. She plans to take her spouse's family name when she gets married.

Hang on, so is her douchebag of a dad dead or forced to retire? Because you wrote 'Ankoku saw the news about his sudden demise when she was in middle school', so that indicates he's dead but 'This left him permanently damaged and almost unable to use his quirk' indicates that he's forced to retire. 

If he's just retired, I hope Ankoku gets the chance to show him how much better she is as a hero than him. I just can't stand deadbeat parents, ironic since I have both my parents, but I have friends and relatives who don't and my heart aches for them that these so-called 'parents' missed out to see just how great they grew up to be.

Their quirks are interesting and I enjoyed their backstories. Poor Ankoku, she deserves better than her current situation tho

I'm always amazed how great you are at develloping your Ocs story and all !
I think this is a good idea Ankoku had to go to another school, its never great to grow up being compared to other, like her parent
like this she is her own person and hero
I really like her parent story, their power are really cool too and their design amazing ! Ankoku really shared her two parent feature thats why she's so beautiful !
I specialy like the fact her farther didnt wanted her, the fact that he wanted to purshase his dream who was "destroy" in the end... I look forward to see more about Akoku and her relationship with her parents
I hope her mother had help to raise her when she was little, it's never easy to raise a baby when you didnt finish to grow up too, hope she had support of her familly
amazing work like always!

Wow that's very interesting!! And I'm interested why she didn't go to U.A.. I mean, I can see Shiketsu and U.A. still being rivals then, but why did she specifically not want to go there?

Oh my gosh?? I absolutely adore the story behind this— like really!! Her parents are both such beautiful characters honestly.

I’m super curious as to why she didn’t want to go to UA,, like the specific reasons why.

I love learning new things ab my favourites ocs so this was really fun to read

AHHH I really wonder what will happen when she meets his father and how her relationship with her mother is right now! Does the world know about her being Oblivions daughter? So many questions!! (ᗒᗨᗕ)
But I really like what she took from her mother and what from her father lookwise, if that makes sense ♡(ŐωŐ人)i don't make sense

SHE DIDN'T MAKE THE WRONG DECISION TO CHOSE SHIKETSU, BECAUSE ELSE WE COULDN'T ADMIRE HER WEARING THIS STYLISH HAT, like bc it suits her damn well. _(┐「ε: )_❤

omg omg omg I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME THIS KIND OF THINGS, BLESS YOU <3 <3 <3!!!!

it's kind of difficult; people can tell because it's kind of obvious -- she resembles him a lot and their quirks are extremely similar -- but it's more like a celebrity lovechild rumor kinda situation. it's public knowledge that he's currently married and has a family of his own too but he never accepted Ankoku as his child so she's basically his "secret lovechild" and no one can 100% confirm it unless they pull a Todoroki and ask her about it directly LMAO

regarding her relationship with her mom, it's kind of strained as of right now (on Ankoku's side, though.) her mother married someone and had kids of her own too,, Ankoku never really connected with any of them due to being a difficult child and as soon as she finished middle school she got a part time job, left home, and never talked to her mother again ever since.

she doesn't really resent her mother or anything though, she just felt out of place at home and also feels guilty because she thinks she ruined her mom's life in a way (since her mom had to drop out school to raise her and could never be a hero like she originally wanted to.) she didn't want to be a burden for her anymore and figured it'd be best to leave her with her "true family." she'll never admit this though--she just says it was because she wanted to be independent and do her thing lol.

Kouyou obviously misses her a lot but didn't really stop her when she left because she was never sure how to handle Ankoku and her character--she just doesn't want her to be unhappy (she knows that the fact her father practically abandoned her and yet has another family makes Ankoku feel bad and inadequate, even though she won't ever admit it), so she let her go and do as she pleased. she obviously worries a lot and teleports her daughter letters and money every single month with her quirk. (Ankoku reads the letters but doesn't reply because she wants to cut ties with her; she doesn't spend the money either.)

uGHHHH you're literally so sweet, thank you so much!!! <3 <3

Hnnnggg I'm just really curious I still have some questions left BUT this is for a next time- |ω・`)
A tear just left my eye I feel so bad for Ankoku, poor child ;; she and her mom are to considerate of each other it hurts! She really must feel lonely, I hope she has good friends who give her the feeling to be welcome. Her dad is really- a douchbag like Shotos dad, well at least they can tattle about their fathers. I'm really looking forward to Ankoku character development. (^▽^)

awaa jkfsd nuhhhh thank you for answering (≧ω≦)ゞ
