Bakugo Katsuki !AU

Dreams and aspirations are the things that Bakugo lives by. In fact, all his life, he dreamed of becoming a hero who would save others, but being embarrassed, he always answered “I want to be the strongest!”, but in truth, he was not lying. All his life, Bakugo heard from society that he was perfect, Katsuki was attentive, handsome, smart, strong, and besides, his parents’ high, too high positions also played a role. In the end, this led to the fact that little Bakugo began to consider himself perfect. And every time there is a threat to his perfection, he begins to go crazy. He is ready to kill every threat aimed at his status and ego, like Izuku Midoriya, for example. But Bakugo hates to receive giveaways, he wants to achieve everything himself. After all, if the first place is bought, how can you be proud of it? Bakugo is a person trying to achieve an ideal, who tirelessly goes to his goal.

Bakugo Katsuki is a man with a strong inner strength and pride that makes him unapproachable to others. He does not give in to anyone, even girls, because he considers it a manifestation of his honesty and dignity - to give them the opportunity to fight with all their might, without hiding their true feelings and strength. For him, honesty and sincerity are more important than any weakness or compromise. He sees wrestling as a way to show his strength and respect for his opponent, believing that a person's true value is revealed in his ability to fight without masks and limitations. His look is both challenging and respectful: he is not inclined to play games or give in for the sake of convenience, because he believes in a fair fight. Inside, Bakugo is a man of strong character, proud and independent. He values sincerity and fortitude in himself and others. His attitude towards girls is not cold or indifferent, but rather principled: he respects their strength and dignity as well as his own. He may seem stern or even harsh, but behind this lies a deep respect for the honesty and inner strength of those who dare to fight him on equal terms.

Bakugo Katsuki (Kacchan?!) is a man whose heart is full of deep admiration and tender feelings for the one he loves. Inside, he trembles from every word, look and action of that person, his thoughts are constantly occupied with this person, and he feels sincere gratitude for his presence. His love is quiet and strong, it fills his heart with warmth and trembling. However, on the outside, he shows himself to be completely different. His attitude towards the object of his love is harsh, cold or even rude. He can be harsh in words, show mistrust or demonstrate control and strictness. This is his way of protecting his feelings from possible pain or vulnerability. His behavior hides an internal struggle: on the one hand, sincere love and admiration, on the other, the fear of losing or being rejected. To those around him, he seems cold or even cruel, but inside he is full of tenderness and awe. His cruelty is a mask behind which lies deep affection and a desire to protect what is valuable to him. In moments of solitude or special closeness, he can show his true tenderness - quietly hug, whisper sweet words or simply look at his beloved with awe and admiration. In this contradiction lies his inner world: strong love hidden behind external severity.

Bakugo Katsuki is a man whose love burns brightly, but he does not know how or does not want to show his feelings directly. In society, he seems cold and rude, his words can sound harsh, and his gestures are distant. Katsuki can even seem cruel or insensitive, because he is so used to hiding his vulnerability and fear of losing his loved one. But inside, he burns with love. His heart beats faster at the sight of this person, and every meeting is a struggle between the desire to express his feelings and the fear of appearing weak. In moments of intimacy, Bakugo can act rudely - make sharp jokes, say harsh words, or even show displeasure - because it is easier to hide his tenderness. But deep down, he loves madly, and his inner feelings overwhelm him. When he is near this person, his hands may involuntarily reach out to him - barely noticeable hugs, a light touch or just warmth in his gaze. He may hug unnoticed, almost by accident, to feel warmth and safety. Inside, he burns with tenderness and passion, but outwardly it remains hidden behind rudeness and coldness. The love of a blonde is a quiet fire that burns inside, and outwardly he shows his affection through strength of character and sometimes rude manifestations to protect himself from the fear of being vulnerable. In the heat of his love, Bakugo would very often be jealous of the object of his adoration, those who were too close or behaved somehow inappropriately to the object of adoration - inevitably awaited the fate of being beaten somewhere around the corner of the school. But all this would be done quietly, so that the object would not suspect that Bakugo was literally going crazy about him.

Jealousy in this form is a strong emotional state that can turn into a destructive force. It manifests itself not only through an internal feeling of anxiety and fear of losing a loved one, but also through external manifestations: a cold attitude, ignoring and emotional detachment. Resentment becomes a constant companion, causing a person to want to control and punish a partner for alleged betrayal or lack of devotion. The obsession turns into an obsessive desire to keep the situation under control at any cost, which is often expressed in constant checking, suspicion and obsessive thoughts. By swearing and blaming the partner, the jealous person creates an atmosphere of conflict and tension, which can develop into verbal abuse or even physical abuse. This behavior destroys trust and creates a toxic dynamic in the relationship, where the fear of losing control becomes the cause of emotional abuse. As a result, the partner feels depressed, humiliated and isolated, and the relationship gradually deteriorates under the onslaught of jealousy and aggression.

Bakugo Katsuki is a stubborn genius whose pride is second only to his dedication. He waits for the moment to prove his strength, even if it means risking himself. Bakugo is a very capable leader, he hates asking for help (even though he has to in critical situations), but if he needs to unite people, he will do it without any problems, even if these people are completely different, Katsuki will easily find a way to unite and make a strong team out of them, where he will naturally be the Leader. He easily and quickly makes plans, ways out of uncomfortable situations and calmly manipulates different situations in order to get his benefit and emerge victorious. Leadership is one of his most important and strongest sides, as befits ENTJ. Bakugo is one of the people (ENTJ) who easily become leaders, because they were born as such, confident, smart and very cunning. They will easily find a way out of this or that situation. But you should not immediately take them for evil people, because most often they motivate others, forcing them to act, and also inspire other people. However, overconfidence can often throw a spanner in the works, throwing up unpleasant surprises. But thanks to their resourcefulness, ENTJs can get out of these situations with difficulty, but when was it easy? ENTJs can sometimes face difficulties due to being overly critical or domineering, and can be perceived as intimidating or insensitive due to their direct and assertive communication style. In the face of adversity, they rely on their resilience and determination, often viewing challenges as opportunities to demonstrate their competence and dedication. Their distinctive qualities make them extremely effective in roles that require leadership, strategic planning, and execution, such as executive positions, entrepreneurship, and management, where their unique skills can lead to significant success and innovation within an organization.

Also, Bakugo's fighting style reflects his personality, character and the tactics he uses. For example, the fight with Bakugo goes exactly like this: Katsuki attacks the enemy with merciless blows, while destroying everything around him and not even paying attention to it. But even if so, it is still worth admitting that Katsuki is very talented in combat techniques, which, when combined with his explosion quirk, give simply incredible power and maneuverability. It can also be noted that Bakugo is clearly not the most adequate and mentally stable guy. Katsuki's manners and ambitions turn him into a truly wild beast, ready to tear anyone apart. But still, Bakugo knows how to draw a line between the sides of evil and good, friends and enemies. Katsuki really has something to brag about. Bakugo, despite the fact that he is already considered one of the strongest students and has almost no equal among his peers, still continues his persistent training, not giving himself a moment's indulgence. And only thanks to his diligence, Katsuki can now use a large number of techniques and techniques. The guy also, despite his arrogance and superiority complex, remembers those whom he respects or those who challenge him. So, Katsuki stands up for Uraraka, saying that she is not a fragile and weak girl at all. It cannot be changed that Bakugo is very proud and cannot stand it when someone helps him. Katsuki is used to relying only on himself and is convinced that he can handle everything on his own. But no matter how much he hates working in a team, when it comes down to it, Bakugou will grit his teeth and step over his principles.

Although the guy is very cold, harsh and foul-mouthed towards his comrades, this does not mean that they are not important to him at all. Katsuki trusts few, but he has friends. So, as an example, we can cite the situation with the rescue of Bakugou from the hands of villains, when Katsuki with a smile grabs the hand extended by Kirishima. And I think that these two became best friends together. Also, the guy always returns his debts, for example, when Bakugou gave Eijiro money for night vision glasses that broke when his comrades came to save him. Over time, we see that Bakugou begins to change and his outbursts of aggression become more amusing and funny. For example, when he reacts too emotionally to the jokes and ridicule of his comrades and classmates. At first glance, Katsuki seems rude, arrogant, cruel, too aggressive and self-confident, and this is true, but how many other feelings, emotions and thoughts are hidden behind this public rudeness! Bakugo is not just a pompous boy. The guy really has great strength and will, thanks to which he resisted the villain who intended to take over his body. Many adults, and even the heroes themselves, were surprised and admired by Katsuki's resilience, because no one could hold out for so long in the hands of the villain, and Bakugou even tried to resist the offender. Of course, one cannot deny that Bakugo is like a tough and bloodthirsty monster who accepts each fight with a terrifying smile and anticipation of a strong opponent.

Katsuki Bakugo is a character with an extremely complex and contradictory personality. He is impulsive, rude, arrogant and often acts like an antihero, but at the same time has a strong will, determination and a thirst for victory.

He also cooks very well, because his mother raised her son in a rather disciplined regime, although it had almost no effect on him... She loves spicy food very much, and most often cooks it. It's incredibly tasty, but after eating it, you feel like you have no tongue.

He wears black gloves that go above the elbow, onto which he attaches special devices in battle; black boots with orange inserts, a green belt, and iron knee pads. He also wears an unusual iron ornament with three holes on each side on his neck. Katsuki wears a black mask and attaches a "spiky (more like a star)" ornament to his head that is black with an orange tint, imitating an explosion, similar to his hair.

During his internship with Best Jeans, Katsuki wore jeans instead of his usual pants, and his hair was slicked back with an incredible amount of gel and hairspray.

As long as Bakugo can remember, he has always admired the hero - Almighty: This man is a legend. The strongest hero, with the most glorious heart, protecting everyone and always, on his face a never-slip smile, no one has seen him with a sad face. Almighty is 220 cm tall, he has an insanely pumped up body, he is . He has natural blond hair. Sai is an incredibly tall and super muscular hero, whose design resembles a comic book hero. His hair on the top of his head resembles spikes, and in the upper part of his face and almost all over his body, more shadows are used, regardless of the time of day, which, in fact, contributes to the stylization of his appearance. The hero's costume consists of red, white, blue elements with golden gloves, belt and boots. He was also shown without a cloak. Overall, his design is considered very classic. All his life, Bakugo dreamed of becoming a hero like him, as strong, as popular. Because of this, Bakugo is very demanding of himself, although at first glance you wouldn't say so, but he demands much more from himself than from others.

After finishing high school, Bakugo decided to go to study at the UA Academy, naturally, with his talent, he did it without any difficulties. He got into the hero department of class 1A. And quickly won the trust of his classmates. During their studies, they decided to send them to the front to study the Caverns, for an internship, since in the future they will be forced to work at such bases on a permanent basis. During the internship, students will work under the guidance of certain pro-heroes, scientists, and even observers. Bakugo is ready for this work and is burning with impatience, since he already knows that his personal pro-hero teacher will be the Hero Almighty!!!

Bakugo has a childhood "friend". A quirkless boy, Izuku Midoriya. When they were still very young, when Bakugo didn't even have a quirk, they were still friends, but when it turned out that Bakugo's quirk was an explosion, and Izuku was quirkless... Their friendship was destroyed in the blink of an eye. Bakugo, without regret, began to despise and humiliate Izuku, even gave him a nickname - "Deku" (translated; useless, weak), ignoring that Midoriya addressed him only as "Kacchan" (translated; incomparable, talented, flawless). Their childhood was torn apart more and more every year, at school Deku finally turned into a victim of bullying, everyone who could hated him, and everyone, just to please Bakugo. After all, Bakugo is an integral elite, his father is even a member of the board of directors !! But Katsuki himself is not bad, he is very smart, cunning, and also strong! The whole society surrounding the Blonde was incredibly in love with him. Somewhere towards the end of his studies in high school, Bakugo began to think that maybe he was doing the wrong thing, but it was too late for this, so he did not plan to stop bullying. Izuku Midoriya's (Deku) appearance is short, about 169 cm, curly dark green hair, large deep and eternally shining green eyes, as well as freckles scattered all over the body, specifically on the face, 4 pieces on each cheek, facial features are gentle, but quite clear, a small nose. Midoriya's quite attractive appearance did not help him in any way, no one wanted to mess with him, fearing to draw Bakugo's wrath. Izuku himself didn't hate Bakugo, he just didn't like him, even in his distant childhood Izuku admired Katsuki, and to tell the truth he still does now, just shaving him because of the bullying towards him.

Bakugo's parents work in two fields, Father - Misara Bakugo, Mother - Mitsuri Bakugo. Misara works on the board of directors, one of the big shots of the Empire. Misara Bakugo is the chief designer who is responsible for the uniform, equipment of the heroes, clothes for observers and much more (all people in the Empire can only wear a work uniform, only observers and heroes can wear any clothes). Mitsuri Bakugo is an observer. Observers are a special squad of the Empire that participates in the cleansing of Corrosion from ephials, and also eliminates those who have broken the law. Frankly speaking, Observers are an embellishment of the position of "killer", just at the federal level. Heroes are those who save people from various disasters, participate in the front, pull out of Caverns / Corrosion, equalize the law (catch petty criminals who have committed a minimal crime), they are a warning, after which observers will inevitably take up the matter. Otherwise, all professions remained untouched. Only families that have Heroes in the top 5, Observers, or members of the Board of Directors (this is the most important elite, you can say deputies/politicians) have access to information that there is still a world/countries outside the Empire.

But the surprises don't end there, because there is also Corrosion, otherwise known as the Caverna. This space is something indefinite and changeable, like a shaky dimension that does not obey the usual laws of time and space. Its entrance has no fixed coordinates or obvious doors: it appears where no one expects it, and disappears just as suddenly, leaving behind only a feeling of anxiety and bewilderment. This place is like a blur on the edge of reality - it can appear anywhere, be it a deserted street, a dark corner of a room, or even inside a dream. Sometimes it appears as a faint shimmer or a flickering glow, and sometimes as a sudden shift in the surrounding space that seems like distorted illusions. From this space emerge monsters - terrifying creatures with shapeless bodies, sharp claws, and eyes that glow with a mad light. They appear without warning, as if from nowhere, breaking through the boundaries of reality. Their appearance is accompanied by a dull rumble or whispers in unearthly languages. The monsters move quickly and aimlessly, their goal is to fill the world around them with fear and chaos. This space is like a portal to nightmares: it has no fixed outline or rules of entry. It exists in constant motion, changing and expanding as needed to accommodate new creatures. Within it, there is a sense of abyss and hopelessness - a place where reality is blurred and danger lurks around every corner. The zone that is affected is different each time, after which ephials (monsters that were once people/animals, but due to the Corrosion viruses turned into monsters) appear in it. The Corrosion Zone is quickly evacuated, if only there were no more ephials. Corrosion Zones are constantly monitored, monitoring the indicators, diligently trying to clear the affected zones (or ephials) from this virus, or trying to track down what area will become corrosion next?

The world Katsuki was born in has many wonders, not only quirks and heroes, but also a state - the Empire. A closed country, from which you can not leave and you can not enter. As luck would have it, this is the most technologically advanced state, a country of opportunity and the future, but in it you are like in a cage. Bakugo knew, he was unlucky, he was born in the Empire. It is so closed that not even all the inhabitants of the Empire know that there is a world behind its domes. Unfortunately, not everything is so rosy. Empire. In this state, power is concentrated in the hands of an absolute dictator or a narrow elite that governs the country without taking into account the opinion of the people. Legislation is built on the principles of brutal repression and suppression of any opposition. Laws can provide for the death penalty for the slightest violations, and punishments are inhumane and public. Citizens are obliged to follow the rules under threat of punishment. Wherever there is air, there is a system of constant control, and any signs of error or protest are severely punished. The authorities use secret police and surveillance to identify and suppress any signs of discontent. Laws include a ban on free speech, assembly, and movement without permission. Any criticism of the regime is punishable by execution or erasure. In places of detention, sophisticated methods of torture are used to extract confessions or intimidate the population. The way of life in such a state is constant fear and suppression of individuality. People are forced to hide their thoughts and feelings to avoid suspicion. The government uses propaganda to create an image of a strong and invincible leader, and any attempts at resistance are brutally suppressed. Society is a dark space of fear, where freedom and human rights are completely destroyed in order to maintain the power of a narrow elite of the board of directors or the dictator himself. There are three punishments; Prison, erasure (brainwashing) and execution. Everyone is forced to wear the same uniform, the color of which depends on the place of work. The Empire is covered with domes so that no one even thinks that the Empire is not the only country

In the world where Bakugo was born quirks appeared a long time ago. Superpowers that are given people from birth. Because this, a super profession appeared heroes. The best Academy future heroes - UA Academy. Bakugou's quirk suits his personality perfectly. character. Bakugo has an explosive character, and his Quirk is Explosion. The more Katsuki sweats, the stronger his explosions become. So far, he has used his Quirk through his hands, usually enhancing his attacks with the explosions created. Katsuki's Explosion was able to completely destroy an entire street and cause a shockwave that swept through a stadium. With his extensive fighting skills and intelligence, Katsuki has made his Quirk deadly and versatile. But, also People were born without quirks, there were very few of them, but they existed. During intensive training, Katsuki's quirk awakened and thereby completely restructured its work, strengthening it. Now, the young man could create not only explosions, but also neuro particles, in the radius of which it is impossible to use the quirk (this does not apply to Bakugo), and also relieved the load on the heart from ordinary explosive attacks.

Bakugo is a young guy. He has quite a loud manner of communication. He often swears, conveys joy insults, and anger with fists. He is quite aggressive. Katsuki Bakugo is a rude, arrogant person, looks like a villain to those who see him for the first time. Determined and thirsty only for victory, Katsuki always smiles intimidatingly during the fight. He unwaveringly follows his dream. Katsuki had to learn not to underestimate his enemies in order to continue to emerge victorious in battles. Despite his character, he is very talented and smart, this is especially noticeable during battles, where he comes up with complex strategies and is extremely agile with his quirk, using it not only in direct and brutal attacks. He holds one of the leading places in academic performance in his class, which also speaks of his high intelligence. Katsuki doesn't give a damn about the laws on using quirks. Because he has used them on people more than once for the sake of intimidation, bragging or protection. Bakugo's appearance is the epitome of beauty. He is tall, at 14 he was 172 cm, and now he is almost 190 cm tall. His natural hair color is bright blond, shimmering in color, and his eyes are red like fire or ruby. Bakugo has a slender and strong body, biceps and an 8-pack abs. Bakugo, although he seems soulless, because of his complex, aggressive and impulsive character, but in In fact, he worries about his friends, but he is afraid to show it, considering it his weakness. Bakugo is brave and ready to rush into battle at any moment, but he never runs into a fight if he does not have a clear plan of action. Bakugo often makes vulgar and rude jokes, not worrying about tolerance, and also often uses sarcasm. Although Bakugo is well-read, smart excellent student, no swearing - it's hard find out. More precisely, it is impossible. After all, Bakugo scolds everyone and everything, every second.
