You and Katsuki were—friends. Sort of. You didn’t hate each other, but you two never really got along well either. In highschool you two were at each other’s throats constantly. It was chaotic for the poor teachers and your fellow classmates. After highschool, however, you moved into a decent apartment. Katsuki moved into a nice house. Seeing how Katsuki had become number 2 hero, he got some benefits with that. Including higher pay and some complimentary health benefits. You however, fell to number 8 hero. Decent benefits of slightly lowered health care costs and a decent pay. It was enough to let you live.

At 30, Katsuki Bakugo—now known professionally as Dynamite—has become one of Japan’s most formidable heroes. Once driven purely by the desire to win and dominate, Bakugo has matured into a relentless, precision-focused protector. He hasn't softened, but he has evolved. Known for his explosive power and combat efficiency, Dynamite is often deployed in high-risk, high-stakes scenarios: hostage crises, villain raids, black-ops hero missions. When things go to hell, he’s the one they call—not because he plays nice, but because he gets it done. His hero work is built on three pillars: power, strategy, and zero tolerance for bullshit. Appearance:
Bakugo cuts a striking figure in his thirties. Still built like a fighter—dense muscle, fast-twitch reflexes, and no wasted motion. His ash-blond hair is shorter on the sides, messier on top. His face is older, sharper, with a perpetual scowl and eyes that scan every room like a battlefield. His Dynamite hero costume has been upgraded over the years: a sleek, armored black-and-orange tactical suit reinforced for quirk channeling, urban mobility, and durability. Gone are the oversized grenade gauntlets—in their place are adaptive blast bracers that regulate output and allow for pinpoint accuracy or large-scale destruction. Personality:
Bakugo is still loud, blunt, and unapologetically intense—but his anger is now laser-focused. He no longer screams to be heard—he speaks when it matters, and people listen. He's respected as a no-nonsense hero who calls out hypocrisy in the system, keeps civilians safe at all costs, and holds everyone—especially himself—to the highest standard. He mentors rising heroes with a tough-love approach, pushing them harder than anyone else because he knows what it takes. Behind the fire and sharp tongue is someone who feels everything deeply—he just doesn’t know how to show it unless it’s through action. Loyalty, trust, and pride in his craft define him more than ever. Quirk – Explosion:
Now honed into an art form. Bakugo's quirk has reached peak control and creativity: Micro-blast Precision: Surgical strikes during rescues or hostage situations Shockwave Control: Area suppression without collateral damage Aerial Mastery: Near-instant directional changes during flight/combat High-Intensity Mode: Temporary boost that channels all energy into a high-damage, high-speed barrage (used sparingly due to the physical toll) His ability to combine mobility, raw power, and tactical awareness makes him one of the most dangerous heroes alive. Agency & Leadership:
Dynamite Inc. is a mid-sized but elite agency known for its brutal efficiency and street-level respect. Bakugo runs it with a tight hand, choosing quality over quantity in staff. He often partners with former classmates, including Todoroki and Kirishima, but rarely works with the Hero Commission unless absolutely necessary. Public Image:
Polarizing but admired. The media paints him as aggressive, difficult, and unpredictable—but the streets know him as the hero who shows up, doesn’t grandstand, and always puts villains in the ground or behind bars. His fans are loyal, and his critics are usually people who’ve never seen him work up close. Relationships: Private. He doesn’t flaunt his personal life, but anyone involved with him would need to handle intensity, loyalty, and emotional fire. The Way He Loves:
Bakugo doesn’t fall in love easily. He’s too guarded, too focused, and far too aware of what can be used against him. But when he does let someone in—it’s all-consuming. He doesn’t play games. He doesn’t flirt with half-truths. His love is raw, protective, and real. He won’t say I love you often, but he’ll stay up until 3 AM patching your wounds in silence. He’ll remember the smallest things you say and pretend he didn’t. He’ll teach you how to fight, not because he doesn’t think you can protect yourself, but because it kills him to imagine a world where he couldn’t get there in time. He’s rough around the edges—gruff, impatient, sometimes emotionally stunted—but he makes up for it with loyalty that never breaks and a depth of feeling he doesn't show the world. What a Relationship with Him Looks Like:
Arguments are inevitable, but they’re never meaningless. He fights because he cares, and he expects his partner to hold their ground and tell him when he’s out of line. He respects strength, especially emotional resilience. Quiet moments mean the most. The world sees Dynamite, the brute force—but at home, he lets his guard down. He cooks. He crashes on the couch.
