History Fanfic / MyHuntsmanAcademia

** Earlier in the scene, he mentions that "one team [he] had never heard of" was sent to Vale early from Mistral, and that's it. It's likely he was talking about Team CMEN (AKA the team Cinder Fall infiltrated Beacon in), which was sent from Mistral. He also mentions "Fumikage's Team," referencing a team led by Tokoyami Fumikage from canon 1-A.
** Because of the way scenes are set up, allowing the players to direct Izuku's actions to different people, sometimes potential character interactions show up well before Izuku actually does. Early on, after Ozpin's speech the first night at Beacon, the author said that among the conversation options were several characters who would eventually show up properly later, including a green-haired girl on a scroll call (Tsuyu), a blue-haired boy stretching (Tenya), a boy with multi-colored hair (Shoto), a red-haired girl talking to a dark haired boy (Nora and Ren), a white-haired girl looking for her bags (Weiss), and a red-haired girl trying to not be noticed by the wall (Pyrrha). The players chose to speak with only Weiss and Pyrrha, though over the next few chapters, all of them would be introduced to Izuku.

** Izuku has taken the place of Jaune Arc in this story and the latter is utterly absent.

* AnachronicOrder: The story's events aren't always played in chronological order, hopping from scene to scene to allow people to vote in on what happens next in each individual scene or write in their own ideas for how the story should go.

** Many omakes (canon and not) will focus on one of the non-Izuku characters for a change.

* HandCannon: Shoto carries a .44 caliber automatic pistol for when he overuses his Semblance. A member of the White Fang that Yang and Izuku fights carries a pair of revolvers with mid-high grade Fire Dust ammo that easily blast through concrete.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Weiss and Shoto tried to get to know each other at one point. Unfortunately, Shoto is absolutely terrible at talking to people or understanding social motivations. He asks her why "A spoiled princess," is studying so far away from her family. What he meant was that he knew she was different from what the hype around her said (that she was a spoiled princess, and meant it sarcastically) and was genuinely curious about her motivations, as she appeared to be defying her father in a way he could his. What Weiss got out of it was that he was calling her spoiled and that she didn't care about her family at all. In return, she manages to step on his BerserkButton by calling him a child of two elements. The two make up in the aftermath of the Mountain Glenn training battle.

** Sun admits he found a Grimm Mask (the uniform of the White Fang) in another Faunus' belongings and produces it. Weiss asks if it's not his and if he's lying. When Ruby protests, Sun admits that it's a valid concern (given that they were chasing him for being a stowaway not ten minutes earlier) before showing that said mask clearly doesn't fit him.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: The nature of One For All is a tightly-kept secret. To the world at large, Izuku was just a really late bloomer who needed a mysterious Huntsman's help to unlock his Aura. The only ones in the know at Beacon are Izuku, Toshinori, Ozpin, Peach, and Glynda. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that Raven is in on the secret and likely Qrow as well.]] It's hinted that Sorahiko, AKA Gran Torino, also knows.

* MusclesAreMeaningless: Zigzagged. Most Hunters are lithe thanks to their Aura giving them SuperStrength that keeps the body from having to develop larger muscles to fight the way they do. But people can workout without using their Aura to improve themselves further, particularly when their Aura is depleted. Broken people don't have the luxury of Aura and Izuku has to sculpt his body into a vessel worthy of One For All in order to survive being given its power. Toshinori is also the tallest and buffest guy in the story as well as the WorldsStrongestMan.

* ScarsAreForever: Mostly subverted. Aura protects one's body and heals it rapidly enough to prevent scarring in most cases. But those born without Aura like Izuku don't have this luxury, which is why he hasn't scarred himself permanently with One For All but still has the callouses from his training to obtain it. But in cases of severe injury, even Aura might not be able to prevent scarring. Weiss' DuelingScar, Toshinori's GameBreakingInjury, and Shoto's eye scar are examples of this.

** Both Izuku and Yang use {{Power Fist}}s with built-in shotguns.

* WhamEpisode: Canon Outtake 237, "Itch," is a big one. [[spoiler: For the first time in the story, All For One, the BigBad of My Hero Academia, communicates with his underlings. In addition, he casually namedrops Salem, the BigBad of RWBY, confirming outright that both these characters exist.]]

** The Maidens are able to use real magic separate from Dust and Semblances.

''My Huntsman Academia'' is a ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''[=/=]''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' FusionFic [[ChooseYourOwnAdventure Quest Thread]] written by gorilla_fingers on Website/{{Spacebattles}}. Taking place in the world of Remnant with My Hero Academia's Hero Course students becoming Huntsmen-in-Training, it follows Izuku's path to follow in his idol's footsteps as a hero in the making along with all of the choices that come with it.

* ChooseYourOwnAdventure: The story is written like a game of TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}, allowing readers to choose how the story is going to go, whether it 's Izuku's choices in the midst of a fight or how he's spending his downtime.

--> Weiss: Izuku... no. No no no no no. You can try to pull sympathy here all you want but I'm not going to risk this getting out just because of sentimentality! There's no way, absolutely no way, that you're going to 'guilt me' into bringing Nora along!"
-->(Later)
--> Nora: Gosh Weiss, you shouldn't have been so nervous about asking us for help! Of course we'd be willing to give you a helping hand! We're a Team after all! Now, let's go break this guy's legs!"

** Because the chase of Sun lasted ''much'' less time than in canon, not to mention actually catching him, nobody from Beacon actually meets Penny when they would have in the original show.

** Weiss seeks out a teacher upon finding out that she wasn't made leader of the team. However, in canon, this was because she found Ruby's command style to be utterly lacking and completely disorganized. In addition, it's revealed that she was, in part, ''looking'' for a reason to hate Ruby from the start since she wasn't picked, and the thing about looking for reasons to dislike someone is, you usually find enough to justify yourself. In the quest, she still seeks out a teacher... but unlike with Ruby, this time she was impressed with Izuku. When there were embarassing moments, he wasn't the one to deliberately instigate them. He tried to understand his team and attempted to make both himself and them better. He volunteers information freely for class. All in all, not a perfect leader, but Weiss realizes that he is doing a good job... which is a problem for her. In the end, her conversation with Toshinori is not about how she should be the leader, but that she recognizes that Izuku is a fine leader, but she feels awful that she still thinks she's owed the position. In short, in canon she went to a teacher and got taught a lesson about how she was acting entitled and needed to give others a chance. In the quest, she realized the lesson already and needed help getting over what she felt her attitude said about her.

* PsychoForHire: Tenya reveals that the higher social strata of Atlas suspect that [[spoiler:the "former Huntsman" Stain who has been killing major business leaders is actually under Headmaster Ironwood's employ. Neither Izuku or Tenya believe these rumors to be true.]]

* RealMenWearPink: Izuku learns to cook in order to satisfy Nora's pancake cravings in this story and ends up baking a cake for Pyrrha's birthday. It's so good that Katsuki ends up shoveling four plates of it into his mouth while [[ImplausibleDeniability saying that he didn't come to the birthday party just for the cake.]] Ren is an even better cook than Izuku, to the point that his "failed" pancakes are considered heavenly by everyone other than Nora.

** While schools like Beacon and U.A. are spoken of as the best places to get an education as a Hero or Hunter, there are other schools that aren't as prestigious, like Birch. It ''has'' a Hunter program, but their specialty is survivalism and engineering. You can still learn how to be a Hunter there, it just isn't as good as an education from Signal, for example.

** Putting pressure on a group to be equal to a man so powerful and great an entire ''age of history'' was named after him can work... or it can destroy the people you pressure. STRQ fell into the later category. Tai retired to become a house husband away from the strain, Raven cracked and led to her severing all ties to be a bandit in Mistral, Qrow is an alcoholic, and Summer tried to hold the line by going on more and more dangerous missions until she didn't come back.

---> '''Ozpin''': Destroy what stands in your way of course, they will kill you if you don't.

** Toshinori's defense of Mountain Glenn marked an end to the old age of Huntsmen and started a new one where they were considered more along the lines of how Heroes are in MHA, rather than as Grimm Exterminators, so there are lots more Huntsmen around now. Further, it also kicked off a wave of expansion and colonization across the kingdoms.

** Multiple BNHA characters are confirmed as not showing up by the GM, such as Shinsou, Sero Hanta, and Rikkido Sato.

* BadassTeacher: The entire faculty at Beacon, between Toshinori, Ozpin, Glynda etc., can be considered this. Taiyang, despite his retired status, also counts as he teaches at Signal.

** Cardin Winchester and his team try to pick on Velvet, someone who's not very confident and has failed a grade before, not to mention is a [[FantasticRacism Faunus.]] Then he tries to pull Katsuki in, and when he refuses, tries to get violent with Katsuki. [[CurbStompBattle The resulting event is only shown by Bakugou walking away with a few bruises and saying "he handled it."]] After this, Cardin turns his sights on Izuku, who proceeds to beat Cardin down without taking a single solid hit during their spar after scaring the rest of Team CRDL off with One For All: Full Cowl.

* MixAndMatchWeapon: As per RWBY tradition, "It's also a gun". Izuku's own weapon, Emerald Gust, is a set of boots and retractable gauntlets with built-in shotguns to help to give his attacks more oomph, having styled them after Toshinori's smashes.

** As per RWBY canon, several members of Ozpin's inner circle are named after characters from the Wizard of Oz. Ozpin himself is named after the Wizard, whose full name spelled out O.Z.P.I.N.H.E.A.D. Glynda is named after Glinda, the Good Witch of the South. General Ironwood is named after a Russian translation of the Tin Man's name. Qrow Branwen is associated with the Scarecrow.

** The "Raven Stayed AU: Budding" explores the events of the story if Raven had stayed to raise Yang instead of leaving to return to the Branwen Tribe. In this story, Yang is coarser and even more of a BloodKnight than usual without Ruby to cultivate her sisterly and motherly instincts (though she does have two (as of yet unnamed) younger siblings). Because Raven never left, that meant that Summer never had a chance to move in, and thus Ruby doesn't exist either... although for some reason Summer is still alive in this AU. Yang is far more of a SociallyAwkwardHero, unable to say much of anything without it coming across as a boast or an insult even when she means it with the best of intentions. [[spoiler:She also realizes her feelings for Izuku much earlier, becoming determined to ask him out but [[CannotSpitItOut can't articulate herself]] before her friends barge in. Raven isn't very happy that her daughter is interested in the 9th host of One For All, and lets out an AtomicFBomb when her other children leave the house.]]

* DoorStopper: The main story has over 1.2 million words of content[[note]]which includes technical information like stat screens and progress options[[/note]] as of February 19th, 2019. Then there's the 270,000 words worth of canon {{Omake}}s and 250,000 words worth of non-canon {{Omake}}s.

** Because of the way scenes are set up, allowing the players to direct Izuku's actions to different people, sometimes potential character interactions show up well before Izuku actually does.

The players chose to speak with only Weiss and Pyrrha, though over the next few chapters, all of them would be introduced to Izuku.

* YouMeanXmas: Color Week and the Long Night are essentially [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHolidays Golden Week]] and [[UsefulNotes/AllHallowsEve Halloween]] in everything but name. The Solstice is essentially Christmas.

It is also being edited into traditional fanfic format by Shovern and Wind-Waker and can be read [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13031606/1/My-Huntsman-Academia here.]]

** The Iida family in canon tend to have super-speed powers via engines in their body parts. Here, they have unusual Auras that can't produce a Semblance, so they rely on power armor to compensate.

** Izuku plays with this a bit - due to his lack of experience compared to his teammates, he's still badass, but notably less so than they are. They can (and frequently do) clean his clock in a straight fight.

* AdaptedOut:
** Izuku has taken the place of Jaune Arc in this story and the latter is utterly absent.
** In the non-canon "Budding" AU (where Raven never left Taiyang), because of the source of the AU, Ruby doesn't exist as Taiyang never got together with Summer.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange:
** Those with animal-like Mutant Quirks like Mina and Tsuyu are retooled as Faunus in this story.
** It's implied that the Noumu are part Grimm. In the original, they were humans who had multiple quirks inserted into them by All For One, coupled with surgery.

** Nezu is not the headmaster (as seen in MHA), but he was the one before Ozpin took charge.

* TheNeedsOfTheMany: [[spoiler:Toshinori says that this argument is the difference between what is Right and what is Heroic. In Mountain Glenn, the Right thing to do would be to accept the Council of Vale's words, accept that the Tunnels are collapsed, and let them die so as to not allow the Grimm a direct line into the heart of Vale through the train lines. Toshinori, however, chose the ''Heroic'' thing to do, which was to go in against orders and save Mountain Glenn, at the potential risk of getting himself killed and potentially sacrificing one of only four human kingdoms remaining.]]
* NeverGetsDrunk: Played with. In this story, the Huntsmen and Huntresses-in-Training are allowed to drink alcohol for as long as they don't do anything destructive while doing so. They can also burn off the effects of alcohol quickly by using their Auras to "heal" it away. But that doesn't mean they ''can't'' get drunk and they can still get a hangover if they drink in excess, as the Team Leader meeting after the Long Night shows. Mirio passes out where he sits, Coco vomits in a trash can, and Ruby moans about her headache.

* ScarsAreForever: Mostly subverted. Aura protects one's body and heals it rapidly enough to prevent scarring in most cases. But those born without Aura like Izuku don't have this luxury, which is why he hasn't scarred himself permanently with One For All but still has the callouses from his training to obtain it. But in cases of severe injury, even Aura might not be able to prevent scarring. Weiss' DuelingScar and Toshinori's GameBreakingInjury are both examples of this.

** The narration and gameplay mechanics, however, make a point to say that because how how [[BizarreAlienBiology Grimm biology is entirely homogeneous]], buckshot rounds like those [[SubvertedTrope shotguns use are largely ineffective]] except at point-blank range.

** The non-canon AU story "Budding," where Raven stayed, is implied to have happened because Raven overheard Taiyang talking to Ozpin, with Taiyang rebuffing Ozpin's insistence that the newly born Yang become a Hunter, so Raven stayed to prevent him from interfering with her family.
** The non-canon AU where Izuku and Yang met when they were thirteen happened because Yang transferred to Birch instead of attending Signal.

** Pyrrha is also a celebrity world-wide for her flawless winning streak as a tournament fighter, leading to her epithet: "The Invincible Girl".

** Weiss is primarily famous for being the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, the largest and most influential corporation on Remnant. Team MADE, a first-year team of Huntsmen, also know about her through her sister, Winter.

** Chimeras are an interesting case among the Faunus. They're the result of different types of Faunus interbreeding and thus having combinations of traits that might not appear in nature. While some of these mutations might be totally benign, others can prove actively harmful. There's a bit of a debate between groups of Faunus about them, as some Faunus use them as proof that one should stick to your own type of Faunus when looking for mates, as it's safer for the children. The White Fang, however, says that Chimeras are still Faunus and need to be protected. Tsu, though, points out that this is mainly so that the Fang can crack down harder on Faunus who might decide to take a human as a mate (as any children of a human-Faunus pairing will be Faunus, with no risk of a Chimera being born).

* FictionalDisability: Being born Broken is considered a disability, as Aura supports physical growth. As a result, Broken people tend to be shorter and less physically fit than those with Aura. Due to being Broken for most of his life, Izuku is only about as tall as Ruby at the start of the story.

** The "Raven Stayed AU: Budding" explores the events of the story if Raven had stayed to raise Yang instead of leaving to return to the Branwen Tribe. In this story, Yang is coarser and even more of a BloodKnight than usual without Ruby to cultivate her sisterly and motherly instincts. Because Raven never left, that meant that Summer never had a chance to move in, and thus Ruby doesn't exist either... although for some reason Summer is still alive in this AU. Yang is far more of a SociallyAwkwardHero, unable to say much of anything without it coming across as a boast or an insult even when she means it with the best of intentions. [[spoiler:She also realizes her feelings for Izuku much earlier, becoming determined to ask him out but [[CannotSpitItOut can't articulate herself]] before her friends barge in. Raven isn't very happy that her daughter is interested in the 9th host of One For All, and lets out an AtomicFBomb when her other children leave the house.]]

* WinHerAPrize: Yang and Izuku stop by a carnival while playing a game of romantic chicken during Color Week. She gives him tips on how to win a rigged game at one of the stands and asks him to win her a prize, waiting to see what he gets for her to watch his reaction for laughs. While hanging out again in Mountain Glenn, she returns the favor, winning him a Toshinori plush while making him blush with her usual flirtatiousness.

** Toshinori gets to have the incredible fight against the Noumu again, although this time its an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome instead of the visual spectacle it was originally. This includes the finishing move where he punches the Nomou through the ceiling of the training facility. Except, instead of the USJ, which was a normal building (if a giant dome), he pulls the same stunt here... through ''a hundred feet of solid rock.'' The Noumu is later found on a nearby ''mountain''. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Weiss actually drops her formal persona and swears at the sight of the hole.]]

* SuperheroSpeciation: Semblances are usually unique to the individual, except in the cases where a Semblance is powerful enough to be hereditary, like Enji's fire Semblance and the Schnees' Glyphs. One For All is another exception to this rule as a unique Semblance that can be passed from wielder to wielder and can even grant a Broken Soul an Aura.

* CrappyHolidays: New Years has never been a particularly festive time for Izuku. He usually spent it nursing the injuries he got at combat school while trying to overcome his Brokennes] and never had friends to celebrate it with prior to coming to Beacon. As a result, the day used to just pass him by uneventfully aside from watching the countdown on TV with his mother. Yang is appalled by this and immediately ropes him and their friends into a friendly game of bowling to give him something to do.

* AdaptationalCurves:
** Izuku earned his six-pack abs like in canon, but he slowly gets brawnier as he continues training, to the point that he's practically bursting out of his old combat school uniform (fitted to his old GeekPhysique) when he tries to wear it for a formal occasion. He's also the most frequent source of eye candy in the story.
** Nora ([[EveryoneCanSeeIt as biased as she is]]), says that Izuku's muscular body is an 8.5/Ren, implying that Ren is quite muscular under his [[ClarkKentOutfit loose-fitting clothing.]]
** Yang is about as slim as most of her peers in RWBY, but in this story she's described as leanly muscular and Ruby says Izuku's biceps are "almost as big" as Yang's at the start of the story.
** Both Ruby and Weiss take up weightlifting to overcome their FragileSpeedster tendencies and come out more muscular for it.
