The Midoriya Foundation

D.O.C.

The Division of Overpowered Children, formerly known as O.P.C.C.C (Overly Powerful Children Care and Containment), is a branch of the Japanese Government that is responsible for searching for children with Quirk too dangerous for normal life and locking them or providing them a caretakers by monetary incentives.
     In General 
  • Child Hater: Not many within the group see the OPC in a positive light. The Agent who escorts Shiruku leaves as soon as they moved her luggage. Some harbor dark thoughts around Yonda, which helped develop her Troubling Unchildlike Behavior. Some even openly say bad things to Kai.
  • Covert Group: Behind their Incompetence, Inc., there is a secretive division solely for handling Level 2 OPC children that is less incompetent but more ruthless. This Division is recently renamed Q.R. (Quirk Removal) branch.
  • Disaster Dominoes: The group of agents that escorted Kai, Fuku, and Otoko.
  • Extranormal Prison: Where D.O.C housed the OPC before Midoriya comes along. Some have lived there as long as they remember, while others might be for life, especially the Level 2 OPCs.
  • Filching Food for Fun: The agents that come to inspect Kioku raid Midoriya's fridge. Namae tries to justify it by saying that Midoriya is rich enough to refill it immediately.
  • Government Agency of Fiction: One for Japan. The reason they were so obscure was that they are both mostly incompetent and underfunded.
  • Heroism Incentive: Initially, they provide a lot of money for people who are willing to adopt a OPC, but most adopters only took the money and neglected the children.
  • Incompetence, Inc.: How they are at most part of the fic.
  • Remember the New Guy?: Thirteen is an OPC that had been raised by D.O.C. If her comment is to be believed, they were an Incompetence, Inc. even then.
  • Shoehorned Acronym: Their old name, O.P.C.C.C (Overly Powerful Children Care and Containment)
  • Slave to PR: Justified since D.O.C are understaffed and underfunded, they will need as much as good PR they can get. They are forced to move some OPCs to Midoriya Foundation sooner than Izuku anticipated because Kiba's Q&A stream exposed a bit of their Incompetence, Inc. and Child Hater.

    Taidana Namae 

Taidana Namae

Quirk: Unknown

Izuku's main point of contact with the D.O.C., and the one that Izuku speaks with when a new child falls into his lap or when she has a new child for him to adopt.
  • Awesome Backpack: Carrying one with a design befitting elementary schoolers. Claimed it is more practical than a purse or a case and prevents people from asking her to carry their stuff.
  • Beleaguered Bureaucrat: Her job is quite stressful and the budget is always bad.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: After Midoriya Foundation becomes a more stable & established institution, she has not appeared in the story, possibly due to Izuku now having Chole as his secretary to deal with her as his middleman.
  • Crocodile Tears: Her pitches for Midoriya to make him adopt OPC is full of this.
  • Deadpan Snarker: At times.
    • *Midoriya asked her why is she in his hospital room after recovering from Taken for Granite* "What am I doing here? There's a kid who can turn people to stone by looking at em, what do you think I'm doing here?"
    • *After hearing the description of Midoriya's missing "biological child"* "She had pink hair and purple eyes and you thought she was directly related to you."
  • Exhausted Eye Bags: Has one that makes Mera runs for his money.
  • Lazy Bum: Easily admits that she wants to laze around.
  • Meaningful Name: Her name literally means "Lazy Name".
  • Ridiculous Procrastinator: Always inform Midoriya about the arrival of a new OPC at the last minute.

Amai Nigai

Quirk: Mood Candy

Hair: Yellow Blonde

A girl Yami meets when he goes into the city to collect negative emotions to power his Quirk. Her Quirk allows her to create candy that induces a certain feeling in people.
  • Big Eater: She loves to eat, and she eats plenty, not just sweet things for her Quirk.
  • Emotion Bomb: Her Quirk allows her to create candies out of her body, with different effects depending on her current emotion.
  • Expy: Of Jane Porter from Disney's Tarzan. She is introduced wearing a yellow dress and ends up saved by Yami, the Tarzan Expy. Plus, being a hardcore Gamer Chick can be seen as a modern equivalent to Spirited Young Lady.
  • Gamer Chick: Fighting games, MMORPG, you name it, she's both good at playing it and smart & savvy enough about its tropes. She was even the main consultant to the kids' video game project, including how to translate Class 1-A students' abilities into their JRPG character mechanics and how to advertise it.
  • Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul: Her "good mood" candies produce this.
  • Heart Is an Awesome Power: Played for Drama. Her candy's effect can be so strong, the emotion it produces can overtake the eater.
  • Hidden Depths: Secretly a hardcore gamer that can play for hours. Even her way of speaking changes when she enters her "Gamer mode".
  • Leet Lingo: She speaks in Chatspeak and gamer lingos in Gamer Mode.
    "Didn't wanna get tagged by a filthy casual. Better to sacrifice the perfect to chip shield damage."
  • Matter Replicator: She uses the sugar in her body to produce her Quirk's candies.
  • Nice Girl: Yami meets her when she's going around her neighborhood giving candy to induce a good mood in people.
  • Real Men Hate Sugar: Gender Inverted. Her Quirk requires a lot of sugar inside her, causing her to consume a lot of sugary or sweet things to keep her Quirk running, giving her a permanent flavor fatigue to sweet.
  • Ship Tease: She gets this with Yami.
  • Supernaturally Young Parent: To Sakio, together with Yami.
  • That One Player: Her Gaming Mode attitude is too intense for most people, hence why she has little to no friends before meeting Yami.
    "Hmph. Not my fault the scrubs couldn't take the heat."
  • Transformation Sequence: Her Gaming Mode is first introduced in a parody of this, in which she actually just takes off her dress to unveil her tracksuit underneath, changing her hairdo into a ponytail and putting on glasses.
    "Amai Shinkoku Mode activated!" *Poses*

Mairu Jikan's step-brother and a Pro Hero.

  • Big Brother Instinct: Initially doubts Izuku's intention of recruiting Mirai, because "Why would an orphanage need Research Division?" and Mirai did not give a straight answer out of excitement, but mellowed out when both Uchi and Mirai reasoned with him.

  • Super-Speed: While there are records that show Blue Blurr can go faster than the speed of sound, Izuku believes that the Pro Hero could go even faster.
