Nomu!Mic

(Posted on twitter, forgot to post here)

@nartothelar is to blame the inspiration for this AU, in which Mic is the one who dies when they're kids and is turned into a nomu. (Please check out their NomuZawa if you haven't already, so many feels!)

This takes place during Aizawa and Oboro's visit to Tartarus

Bleh I've forgotten how to render properly. But I'm pleased with the overall result!

Downside: Nomu!Mic😭

Upside: Alive!Oboro😁 (Apparently I made him hot. Go me!)

Also angst. y'all know me and my angst weakness. And if you didn't, you do now!😜

Backstory below the cut:

Yamada was the one who died during their internships. AFO recognised that his quirk could be very useful because of its power, however his vocals chords could not be recovered after death. So the doctor used Yamada's OG quirk as a base for: SONIC MANIPULATION.

He can levitate & alter physical objects using resonance frequencies created by an altered voice box (he also has scars on his neck). Said frequencies can't be heard by human ears nor made by regular vocal chords. Which means he's now mute, and communicates via sign language.

Because of his muteness, his screams appear silent, but the soundwaves can be felt. His new name became Shizu (short for Shizukesa, meaning silent). He wears a mask that is more like a gag, to contain the quirk (also muzzling symbolism). His villain name is Screech.

The way he's the ace-in-the-hole for the LOV in this AU, is that at the USJ he used his Sonic Manipulation to open up the roof of the facility and levitate the whole group of villains into it.

He wears a gauze blindfold because of a failed attempt to add a second quirk that made his eyes really sensitive to light (he can see through it, but blocks out bright lights). This is part of what helps Aizawa and Oboro eventually recognise him in Tartarus: seeing his eyes.

When eventually caught, Aizawa & Oboro are brought in. Tsukauchi says: "His DNA is so muddled, there's no way of really knowing. One thing that's been puzzling us is that he seems to sign one thing when he's asleep: 'microphone'. Does that mean anything to either of you?"

Oboro and Aizawa recognise 'microphone' the instant Tsukauchi says it.

"His hero name... was Present Mic..”

~~

Details and other trivia:

His hair floats because I like it in a way his quirk is almost always active and levitating things.

I am working on his outfit, hopefully I can post it soon.

Tsukauchi & co release his hands during A&O's visit, for communication purposes.

"...Tomura struggled with affection and other emotions that weren't hate and anger.

"Dr. Garaki is a being that is filled with bugs and sludge. You may not understand now or ever but the hunger in his eyes is one you don't want to feed Tomura..."

A snippet of a Nomumic fic I'm working on, I'm really proud of it and plan on taking my sweet ass time for it but I'll do my best c: I will warn you though there will be slightly implied noncon like very briefly and only implied!!

[the-tharns-speak]

It's not unheard of, here on Earth, to find out that someone else, by sheer chance, happens to share your surname, despite there being no blood relation; have you ever encountered another Imperial family who, by pure chance, happened to also be known by 'Tharn', despite them more or less being complete strangers? If so, did it cause any trouble? Also, have you ever done something that makes it hard for you to look in the mirror without feeling immense shame or guilt?

Even in Cyrodiil you can from time to time run into families with the same surname (or rather nomum). However, both I and my ancestors have extensively looked, and we haven’t found any other Tharns whether in Cyrodiil or outside of it. There is a small merchant family in north Colovia (or there used to be prior to the war) of Tarhanos. Due to linguistic origins there was actually a case going on for about 75 years by then when they were trying to claim relation to House Tharn. It turned out that they were direct descendants with provable lineage to Tharhan the Mutilant.

Now I have absolutely no idea what your last question is supposed to even be nor where it came from. Wouldn’t it be greatly impractical, such a feeling, to a man who needs to trim and shave every morning to make an appearance?

I was thinking of writing a Nomu!Present Mic one shot, but when trying to come up with an idea for Nomumic, I came across the horrible discovery that there isn't enough Nomumic!!

So I'm definitely going to make Nomumic now, he will be a bean and I love him already >:c
