#not ideal for them but izuku gets to be kinda dragon-y so thats still cool i think

If the five ask au game is still open: an au where OFA functions more so by activating dormant quirk genes with the newly transferred quirk factor for quirkless people vs giving them access to the stockpiled quirks of past users

interesting...

1- so it isn't immediately obvious that ofa does that, as neither Second nor Third have any other dormant genes to activate. But when Shinomori gets it, it activates the genes for Temperature Inertia, his mother's quirk. (He got Danger Sense from his dad) he spent his hermited life able to at least keep his cup of tea warm and his cooler cold.

2- Banjo got his father's perfect pitch as well as his grandfather's baldness quirk, which let him make other people loose their hair as well as his own. But Banjo chose not to be evil with that, just using his natural BlackWhip from his mom. (except making afo go bald twice, just to.) En unlocked an electric quirk that, combined with his little smoke clouds, made him an absolute threat to computers but also a lil stormcloud lol. Nana had Float active, but OfA unlocked Matchtip, which let her ignite her fingertips so she could add some flaming glovers to her attack. (Gran always called her a meteor)

3- Toshinori had superstrength from his mother's side unlocked, and glowing blue eyes from his father. (i literally went to a random power generator and hit it twice and got 'super strength' and 'vision power' sooo i guess that works here) He trained extremely hard to make those useful, though having some stockpiled energy from ofa helped.

4- Izuku, for his part, activates attraction and firebreath. he ends up realizing that if he tries to attract objects bigger than him, he gets pulled to instead, and immediately starts incorporating that into his combat style, using projectiles, throwing himself around, and breathing fire. unlike Toshinori, who easily adapted to the super strength, izuku isn't built for the fire and so he has to get tech to handle the fire. David and Melissa are happy to provide Toshi with it so Izuku can train and use it in the months leading up to the exam. (what with physical training being slightly less important, he can get it earlier for practice. Toshi did challenge izuku to clear the beach before he graduated high school though, and izuku's determined to do it by the end of his first semester.)

5- since AfO isn't sure how OfA will ever manifest for the next user, he just is monitoring updates to the quirk registration. but there's a lot of that what with people realizing how their quirk actually works and changing it, so he doesn't find Izuku's name until the start of the school year when he realizes All Might's teaching first years, and he goes through 1A and 2A's rosters to see who's had a change in registration. so when usj happens, izuku's more ready to fight with his quirk(s),,, but Shigaraki was also told to watch out for him, and given a list of the first year quirks.
