Quirks and hero paths, explained
The quirk type decides how your power works, and the path decides where your story happens. Pick one of each and the rest of the OC falls into place.

Emitter quirk
Produces or controls something outside the body: fire, sound, water, gravity. The most common type in the series, and usually the one with the clearest cost, like recoil or overheating.

Transformation quirk
Changes the body on command, then changes it back: hardened skin, a bigger frame, a softer or stranger form. Strong, but only while it is switched on.

Mutant quirk
Always on. The quirk is part of how the body looks and works, like animal features, wings or extra limbs, so a mutant OC carries it into every scene, including everyday life.
permanentvisibleeveryday impact
Hero student
The classic starting point. Hero course students at U.A. High train in teams, sit the Provisional Hero License Exam and wear a first costume built from their own design request.

Pro hero
Licensed heroes work at hero agencies and are ranked on the Hero Billboard Chart. A pro OC needs a hero name, an agency and a specialty such as rescue, combat or undercover work.
licensedagencypublic image
Vigilante
Uses a quirk in public without a license, which is illegal in hero society. A good fit for street-level stories, and the focus of the prequel spin-off My Hero Academia: Vigilantes.

Villain
Uses a quirk for crime. The strongest villain OCs have a reason the hero system failed them, which is a question the series keeps coming back to.
motivehideoutrivals
Support course
Builds gear instead of fighting on the front line. Support OCs pair well with a hero partner and a quirk that helps with design, analysis or repair.

Names and quirks
Name your hero, pick a quirk

Guide
How to make an MHA OC
A strong hero OC is built around one quirk and what it costs. The generator handles the drawing; these five decisions are worth making first.
- 1
Start with the quirk, then its drawback
In the series, pushing a quirk too far always costs something: recoil, overheating, exhaustion. Write the cost next to the power and your OC has stakes from the first scene.
- 2
Pick a path: student, pro, vigilante or villain
The path decides your cast, your setting and your conflicts. A U.A. first-year has classmates and exams; a vigilante has rooftops and no backup.
- 3
Design the costume around the quirk
A hero costume is also equipment: vents for a heat quirk, gauntlets for a punching quirk, a mask for a quirk that needs secrecy. One main color and one accent keep it readable.
- 4
Choose a hero name that says what you do
Pro heroes pick a name the public will chant. Keep it short, tie it to the quirk or the personality, and check that it does not match a canon hero.
- 5
Give them a place in hero society
A class, an agency, a rival or a villain group makes it easy to drop your OC into a story, a roleplay or an ask blog.

MHA OC maker FAQ
Yes. A free account comes with credits, enough for several heroes, and every image costs the same small number of credits after that. No card is needed to sign up.
A picrew is a dress-up maker: you stack parts one artist drew, so every result shares the same pose and pieces. This MHA OC creator draws a new picture from your choices, so the quirk effect, costume and pose come out as your own. Think of it as a My Hero Academia character creator that does the drawing for you.
Yes. BNHA stands for Boku no Hero Academia, the Japanese title, and MHA is the short form of the English title, My Hero Academia. This BNHA OC maker works for either name.
Emitter quirks produce or control something outside the body, transformation quirks change the body for a while, and mutant quirks are permanent body traits. Pick one in the Quirk type field and describe the power in the Quirk box.
Start from something your OC loves or fears and turn it into a power with a clear cost. The Quirk ideas list above has ten to start from, and a dedicated MHA quirk generator is on the way.
Yes, choose Quirkless. Only about one in five people in the series has no quirk, so give yours gear, training or a support partner, and describe it in Extra details.
Yes. Pick Villain as the path and try the Villain hideout background. Villain OCs read best with a clear motive, so add one line in Extra details about why they turned on hero society.
You can write any class in Extra details. Many fans use a new class, a transfer student or another hero school, which gives the OC room to stand out without replacing a canon student.
Yes. Choose the costume color, describe gear like gauntlets or a visor in Extra details, and set Output to Ref sheet for front, side and back views with palette swatches.
Give it a range, a time limit or a physical cost, and one situation it cannot handle. A quirk that solves everything leaves nothing for the story to test.
Pick Sketch for a pencil look close to manga pages, or keep Anime for the TV series look with bold outlines and bright costume colors.
Posting your OC in fandom spaces, as a profile picture or in roleplay is what it is made for. My Hero Academia belongs to Kōhei Horikoshi and Shueisha, so check their fan art rules before selling merchandise.
