Chapter 1: Chapter 1: New Beginings, Part 1
It was a dark night, cloudy, but not storming, thunder booming in the far distance. A young man, around 24 or so, was bound in a chair, tied up with chains, sitting in an abandoned warehouse. The man was awake, but wasn't struggling against his bindings, because he knew he wouldn't be able to escape. He was reflecting on what led him to this point, at what point did his life get turned upside down.
As Jericho looked back, he realized it was when he was 12 years old, and in middle school.

This is a society of heroes, villains, and superpowers. One similar to comic books from the Pre-Quirk Era. It is in this society that a person can gain power and become a hero, vigilante, villain, or just someone normal. And on one fateful day, a person was killed, and brought back to life in the most mysterious of ways.
"I… I'm alive!" The man who had been mortally wounded shouted out, his bullet wound in the heart disappearing mysteriously. He looked around, seeing himself in a dirty alleyway. "Huh? Wasn't I in a plane crash?" The man must have been delusional, because he had not been on a plane in almost 20 years.
"I… Is this what I think it is!?" The man shouted to no one in particular, looking at his clothes, his arms, and blinking rapidly.
"It really is! Oh, thank you, God of Anime! I've been reincarnated! Where am I? It looks modern, so Bleach? My Hero Academia? Fire Force! I can't wait, what is my cool power?"
So the man clinically approved for the psychiatric ward started poking around his body and mind, before finally managing to secrete some sort of substance from his mouth, barfing it on the floor by accident. "Blech! That tastes terrible! What in the world just came out of my mouth!?" He looked at the alleyway ground, only to see a dark liquid with chromatic rainbow swirls visible on top, followed by a universally recognized smell. Gasoline.
"COOL! I can puke gas! This can be so cool, it must be a Quirk from MHA! I can make tons of money by selling it, and I can be a villain if I want with this quirk. Being a hero might be hard, but I can do what I want!" The man was celebrating, before finally realizing what had happened, and where he was.
He decided to find his way to the nearest police station, and say that his memory had been wiped by someone's quirk, that way he can get whatever this guy had, and become whoever he wanted to be.
The local police station did a check on his claim with a personality trait testing quirk, and determined that the missing memories that he had lost caused his personality to drift substantially, and that he was pretty much a new person unless he recovered. This gave the man a perfect excuse to do what he wanted, but it did come as a shock when he learned he had a family. He also found out that his name was Frank Abernathy, kinda lame, actually.
He had a son who was 12 years old, and a wife who had died during childbirth. The man was definitely disappointed by this, thinking that if this guy had a hot wife, that he would be able to lose his virginity in this second life. He was also not very appreciative of the son that he considered to be 'baggage' that was thrusted upon him. Oh well, if his son had a strong quirk, he might try to get his son to assist him with being a hero or a villain.
Imagine the sheer disappointment that he had when he returned home to his shabby 2 room house, not much larger than his old apartment from his last life, and that his son was rebellious and a teenager.
The disappointment beame all the much harder to hide when he found out that his son was quirkless. He thought to himself at this point.
"Well, this sucks. I thought that reincarnation was supposed to make you, like, really fortunate. A hot wife and a daughter, money that you could spend as you please, and the magical luck that befalls me into becoming the overwhelmingly strongest person ever seen in history without much effort. Well, maybe this is one of those underdog types of reincarnation! Some sort of tragedy will befall me, making me aspire to become the strongest!"
The man decided that this was the best course of action, and decided to use the internet to study when the main plot of the story began. He found out pretty quick that it was 3 years before the main plot, and began planning his development.
-0- Jericho
My name is Jericho. I am 12 years old, soon to be 13. My dad said that I was named Jericho from a movie he watched when he was young, back in America. Speaking of dad, ever since he went to work last week, he's been really different. He doesn't like talking to me, staying in his room all day. He keeps talking about heroes and villains and a plot, I think he got hurt. I hope he recovers soon, because we're running out of food.
-0- Frank
It has been about 2 weeks since I arrived in this body, and man is it a bummer. The kid has constantly bugged me about this and that, 'Feed me! Play with me! Tell me a story!' It's so annoying! It's like having a pet that can talk, it sucks because I can't just dump him in any old orphanage, trust me, I tried. I'm also just about out of money, and I haven't figured out where this guy used to work, because as hard as I look, I can't find anything except for a locked safe, and a photograph of a older man that looks slightly familiar.
*Ding Dong*
It looks like the doorbell, who knows, it could be my destiny. I open the door, and are faced with two guys who look strikingly familiar, as I've seen them from somewhere. That got me excited, because that means they were major characters in MHA. I tried to keep my cool, and not be nervous, just to see what would happen.
"Hello, sirs. Can I help you?" The two standing by the door looked very confused. They expected crying and begging, or the house to be empty, not to be greeted casually like a stranger. They looked at each other, and one held up a piece of paper. They read the paper together, and it clicked in their heads. One of them spoke up.
"Do you remember us? We were told you had an accident."
"Hmm, you do look sort of familiar, do we know each other?"
"Yeah we work together for our boss, Kai Chisaki, you remember?"
Now that got a reaction out of him, the man froze, started to sweat, and began to realize just how much shit he was in when he recognized the guests at the door were officers of Shie Hassaikai, without their distinctive plague doctor masks. Shie Hassaikai was the yakuza group that created Quirk canceling bullets by exploiting a child, and were a powerful antagonizing force in the story of MHA.
This reaction did not go unnoticed by the guests at the door, causing them to give a maniacal grin. "Must've remembered something, huh? Must've scared you, too. That means that we still gotta finish the job!" One of the men said with a large grin, his teeth almost coming out of his mouth.
"Shit!" said the man, beginning to panic, because he realized that the two at the door were Toya Setsuno, the thug with the Larceny quirk, and Soramitsu Tabe, the one who has the Food quirk. He slammed the door on them, for all the good that it did, running to the other end of the house, and jumping out the window, startling Jericho in the process.
-0- Jericho
"Dad?"
*THUD* Jericho turned around to see two scary men burst through the door, and stopped to look at Jericho. They looked really surprised, before one of them said, "Looks like he did have a personality shift, he would rather be tortured then let his son get hurt, but he just ran for the hills."
"Well, neither of us are good at chasing, and if we bring the kid back, Overhaul might go easy on us, 'cause he'll think that he'll come back for his son."
The other man shivered, nodding his head, "Good idea, nab him and lets go!"
And this is the beginning of the story that would shape one of the most prolific 'vigilante-turned-heroes' of all time, "The Quirkless Hero: Junker" A.K.A. Jericho Abernathy.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Marvin_The_Janitor
Marvin_The_Janitor Hello! I have started college, and it re-motivated me to write my One Piece story. I reread it on my own, and have decided to retcon some parts of it that I don't like, so while I work on that, I've decided to work on this MHA story.
This story will serve as more practice for me to write, and will be probably less thorough than what I want my OP story to be.
Feel free to comment with suggestions, just know that I will be taking a more relaxed aproach to this one, so errors will be more common.
