History DeconstructionFic / AllForLuz

* BullyingADragon: This is a ''really'' bad idea that people find out the hard way. [[spoiler:Assuming they survive long enough to learn so.]]

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Luz's quest for vengeance takes a psychological toll on her; that's to say nothing of the CollateralDamage that accumulates around her.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: Luz inherits the All For One Quirk, a power she hates as the idea of having a PowerParasite Quirk, because she's always wanted to be special, and All for One revolves taking what makes other people special. However, Quirks influence the user's mind and Luz is no exception to that rule with Addictivemagic properties. While she hasn't lost her humanity, she has loosened up her moral code over time.

* NecessarilyEvil: Luz sees having All For One as her EvilMentor as this. He's trapped in her head with no way to kick him out and he has over a century's worth of knowledge and experience in using Quirks, as no one else in her world is an expert on them. However, he's ''still'' evil and acts as a [[CorruptTheCutie corrupting influence on girl over time for his own agenda.]]

* VillainsNeverLie: As much of a ManipulativeBastard he is, All For One has rarely lies to Luz. He also ''especially'' invokes this, if it concerns an AwfulTruth, simply out of delight with her trying to deny the awful revelations whilst he's being completely forthright with her. Despite hating his BrutalHonesty initially, Luz does gain a level of respect in All For One because of his AtLeastIAdmitIt attitude compared to the NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist and KnightTemplar mindset foes she constantly fights. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for Luz, just because her EvilMentor 'doesn't lie' doesn't always mean he's being completely honest with her and tends to withhold vital information from her e.g. her cousin is plotting to kill her, what Quirks Hunter has, oh, and he (potentially) plans to pull a VillainOveride on her]].

** Its not helped by the fact those that received superpowers are aged between 7-19-years old where KidsAreCruel and TeensAreMonsters are in full effect, with Gravesfield's sheriff going into detail about stories of power-hungry children attacking people on the street and using their powers to go full {{Supervillain}}. Kids who won the SuperpowerLottery can be particularly monstrous, due to having power but little emotional maturity or empathy, believing that they can do whatever they want.

* GlassCannon: All of the Wittebanes' assassins fall her this category, due to OnePersonOnePower at work. While many of their Quirks give them massive offensive power to varying degrees but they don't have SuperToughness, they're all just as durable as any other human being and don't have a HealingFactor to compensate. [[spoiler:One direct hit from [[LightningBruiser Luz's]] more powerful attacks and they became as good as dead.]]

* EvilMentor: Since All For One is essentially the only one who can help Luz use and control her Quirks, she's forced to accept his offer of guidance to to become his successor. However, under his wing Luz slowly becomes as cruel and uncaring as her sensei. On the flip side All For One needs to act not ''too'' evil towards her, [[spoiler:as his whole EvilPlan will be completely ruined if she loses all trust in him.]]

* ConvenientlyEmptyBuilding: '''Horribly Averted.''' [[spoiler:Many people in the buildings die as the superhuman attacks cause them to collapse on top of them.]]

* BadPowersGoodPeople: Luz inherits the All For One Quirk, a power she hates as the idea of having a PowerParasite Quirk, because she's always wanted to be special, and All for One revolves taking what makes other people special.

-> ''"This fic is a deconstruction story. Meaning it's supposed to be showing what would happen if [[TheHero Luz]] had [[PowerParasite All For One.]] That would entail her being influenced by not only a Quirk that makes you think and shapes your belief structure to assume that everything belongs to you, including other people's lives, and having a [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative asshole]] living [[EnemyWithin rent-free in her head without a way to get rid of him without her dying]], effectively makes it impossible for [[DarkFic this story to not be dark]]."''

* RegretfulTraitor: Riley Stewardson is a teenage mercenary with a DarkAndTroubledPast who was forced into working for a CorruptChurch that employs teenage superpower mercenaries. She reunites with her little cousin Luz, whom she generally loves. Then Riley learns that one of the bounties of who she has to kill is her cousin Luz. Riley is heartbroken and horrified by the fact that she has to kill her little cousin but ultimately decides to do the deed; she justifies it by saying that if she doesn't do it, [[YouHaveFailedMe she'll eventually be killed]], and Luz will eventually be killed by someone else. While Riley is generally regretful and wants to make at least sure that Luz's mother, Camila Noceda, is spared, she does ultimately betray her cousin in an attempt to kill her, and no amount of remorse makes what she did better. [[ItGetsEasier It's implied that Riley has been desensitized to all the killing she previously done]] and is too afraid to do the right thing and protect her cousin. [[spoiler:Ultimately, her betrayal of Luz backfires and adds to another one of the traumas Luz experiences, turning her from a NiceGirl into a hardened villain-in-the-making. When Riley realizes what she has done, she's genuinely remorseful and wants to make up for what she did. It's too late, and Luz does not trust her. Luz kills Riley with her own Quirk, and she dies a traitor, remorseful for her actions, but it's too late for her to make things right.]]

** When he was alive, All For One adopted this rhetoric in his speeches to his followers, and sought out those on the fringes of society to bestow his "gifts," but his kindness is transparently false. In reality, he only recruits people who're the [[FantasticRacism victims of prejudice]] or who fail to fit in because they're vulnerable and more willing to buy into his beliefs, much like how real cultists seek out new members. [[spoiler:He did this tactic on the witches and demons in the Boiling Isles who were dissatisfied living under Belos's rule.]] A villain like [[ManipulativeBastard All For One]], fully aware of the world's injustices but, instead of doing anything about it and become a PoliticallyCorrectVillain, intended to take full advantage of it for his own purposes. A useful pawn is a useful pawn regardless of their race, after all.

* VigilanteMan: After her experience at the Death Camp, Luz decides to become TheCowl in order to protect the people of Gravesfield. While liked by the locals, gives her an outlet for her violent streak and some relief from her AllTheOtherReindeer status, it unfortunately has put her on the cops' radar and gives them a reason to arrest her. Vigilantism is still a crime, regardless of your motives or good you do.

** Tyler Wittebane has hired assassins that include a teenaged girl, a witch, a transporter who's genderfluid, a convict with gigantism and a female former MMA fighter. However, he's certainly not a PoliticallyCorrectVillain, quite [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain the opposite in fact]]. Despite hating the idea of witchcraft and superpowers as a whole, Tyler isn't above hiring such users [[PragmaticVillainy if it benefits him]], especially to assassinate others of their kind or his opponents. This only serves to show him as a {{Hypocrite}}.

* GodzillaThreshold: Even this does succeed, it can still result in a lot of CollateralDamage that could you ask yourself WasItReallyWorthIt
* HeroWithBadPublicity:

* AssholeVictim: Murder is still murder in the eyes of the law, even if the victim in question had it coming. Not to mention EvenEvilHasLovedOnes can be in effect.
