Job Occupations in a Quirkless World

Summary:

what job occupations characters would have in a quirkless world (minus police cause ew)

Notes:

um so far, this is all I have. I have ideas for the other characters. I also wanna do more with this au too. Like go more indepth with the ideas and how they could overlap. Could add some ships into it too. Idk. Give me some ideas in the comments?

also here's my tumblr where this is also posted. https://www.tumblr.com/blog/mha-academia

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: bakugou, midoriya, todoroki, kirishima, shinsou, and iida

Chapter Text

Bakugou:

Bomb Squad!!

-His quirk is a bomb. Don’t even look at me if you don’t think canon Bakugou doesn’t know how to build and diffuse a bomb.

-There’s still an aspect of saving people.

-They also wear heavy, suits which could correlate to Bakugou’s well thought out hero costume.

-The job’s intense and takes a lot of effort.

-Not sure if this is accurate, but I’m pretty sure they don’t have to talk to civilians all that much. I think that’s what the police do.

-This would definitely never bore him intelligently.

-However, I think the lack of physical extrusion would weigh on him. He needs an outlet for his anger. But other than that, I could totally see him being part of the bomb squad.

 

Midoriya:

Teacher (Most of my family members are teachers so this might be a lil biased)

-Izuku’s main goal in canon is to save people. No, teaching isn’t technically saving lives, but they do make huge differences in the students’ lives, for the better or worst.

-He’s making a difference in raising the next generation.

-He’d hands down be a good teacher. He’d be the one that makes the students fall in love with learning.

-He’d be the teacher everyone adores.

-Everyone feels comfortable and safe around him. His classroom is judgment-free!!!

-All his previous students would come back to visit him even after they graduate.

 

Todoroki:

Firefighter 😼 (I love firefighters 🤤)

-I really had an epiphany when I thought of this.

-So Enji would be a cop obviously. And who do cops have a thing against besides non-whites, lgbtq+ members, females, and disabled people? Firefighters!

-AND firefighters take out fires (Todoroki hating his fire cause of endeavor!!)

-Also, I feel like he’d thrive off a firefighter's schedule. If it’s a busy day, he lives off of working for hours straight then passing out once it’s done. If it’s not a busy day, he could sleep.

-He’d be sneaking his cat in during every one of his shifts.

-If people ask about his scar, he doesn’t need to spew out his childhood trauma (even tho that’s his favorite past time) and can just say it was a burn from his job. Outta pocket for that one.

 

Kirishima:

Personal Trainer (big boy time)

-A perfect person for a personal trainer!

-He’s so positive and determined!!!!!!

-Always at the gym doing something. Just talking to the members and workers, doing his job, or actually working out. The gym is basically his home.

-He’s so positive and uplifting, anyone that trains with him can’t help but feel that they can do it.

-So obviously that’s gonna bring in lots of clients for him.

-He loves each and every one of his clients. He’s basically their friends. And he is in love with the idea that he has so many friends.

-He really loves his job. He’s doing something he enjoys and is also helping people.

-It also proves that he’s strong and manly. Hubba bubba. Sorry

 

Shinsou:

Talk Show Host (like podcast or radio)

-Definitely got the inspiration from Presentation Michael. He always used to go on his show when he was younger and he loved it.

-He can talk forever when it’s just him and a small group of people.

-It has to do with his voice like his quirk.

-He’s funny. Has that sarcastic on some sort of drug type gen z humor. Of course, that’s gonna get popular.

-And his entire friend group is full of... colorful personalities. His viewers are never bored.

-And it’s not a video so he doesn’t have to get ready. He ain’t got nobody to impress.

-Always sponsors Redbull even tho it’s not an actual sponsor.

 

Iida:

NASCAR. Listen-

-It has to do with speed and focus. Other than strictness, that’s basically Iida’s personality.

-And that vine where it goes “there’s only one race.” *slap* “what about nascar?!” Reminds me of him. No doubt about it.

-I’m not a huge fan of him, but I know he’d look hella good next to a race car and in the getup. Like drool-inducing type of good looking. Anyways-

-“Wanna see some real speed bitch?”

-It would be hilarious for him to win against the pros and they’re all expecting a cool, chill person. But nah. It’s Iida.

-90% of the things that Kaminari says to him is “vroom” “nyruooom”

Notes:

I really want to do something with this. Go more in depth with everything and maybe add some ships into it. Comment some ideas!!!!!!
