BACKGROUND: here

PERSONALITY:

There are two distinct sides of Toshinori--his All Might hero persona and his actual self.

Toshinori’s All Might persona is essentially an exaggeration of ideals of justice combined with influences from his time training and interning in America. He is loud and boisterous with a constant smile regardless of what is happening. Whether he is just speaking to an ordinary citizen or in a fight with a villain, he is always smiling, often laughing with booming volume and speaking in a distinct over-the-top hero style fit for 1950’s Batman or Superman comics. His constant smile is a trait he carries for his Master and predecesor Nana Shimura. She taught him that no matter what he was feeling on the inside he should smile because it was always the strongest heroes that smiled. Maintaining that smile through everything served two purposes. First, it served to trick him out of his own fear. Second, it was an assurance for anyone he might be helping to show that they would be alright because he was there to save them and so confident that he was smiling through it all. All Might plays dumb often as well, hiding the full extent of his knowledge and also uses misdirect tactics to avoid answering certain questions—such as his age. Sometimes it isn’t an act though, he really is a bit bumbling when it comes to interpersonal relations simply because he hasn’t had many—this can definitely be seen with his attempts at teaching, or at least his one-on-one coaching (at least with anyone other than Izuku Midoriya).

At his current canon point Toshinori has been forced to retire from Pro Hero work, bringing his true self to the forefront 24/7 where his hero persona had previously been. (In the MHA universe most pro heros have their personal identites out in the open where Toshinori chose to keep everything separated and kept private. It lead to his real self almost disappearing because he was essentially All Might all the time.)

As Toshinori Yagi he is notably not as flamboyant as he is as All Might, but he still holds equal passion, in particular with Midoriya and the other students. Often while training Midoriya to prepare him to inherit One for All he would have literal bursts of pride every time the boy would show promise that mirrored his own ideals—literally puffing up into his muscle form. He still occasionally does it after his retirement but not to the same effect since he can only hold the form for a short time. He is extremely proud of his students and is expecting great things from them. This is especially so because with the loss of his power he is trying especially hard to focus on cultivating the future rather than dwelling on the present that he can no longer actively affect. Despite that it is inevitable that he will turn inward and have bouts of self-deprecation because of what he perceives as his failures and the state he has come to be in, physically unable to act. Even so, he is a private man, having spent essentially his entire adult life without any close relations and does his best to hide this from those around him.

Regardless of this, Toshinori still has insane resolve and willpower, always willing to push past his limits whether physical or emotional. It is seen over and over again but most notably in his second battle with All For One when his withered form is revealed to the world due to him reaching the limit to which he could hold his muscle form. Still, he fought on pushing past his limits while doing what he was able to do—in this case move what little power he still had to just one arm at a time and all of this after receiving a harsh emotional blow that was meant to destabilize his resolve. It is shown again in a flash back from when he was hospitalized after his injury from fighting All For One the first time. Despite the fact that he could barely walk and was no where near healed he was determined to return to the public eye as the Symbol of Peace to keep that pillar from crumbling. After that, just the fact that he managed to go for five years continuing his work as All Might while keeping the world in the dark about his injuries and his true form. Finally, in regards to the future that Night Eye saw, at first he had chosen to continue head long into it believing it could not be changed—because indeed, Night Eye’s visions had never been wrong—but since meeting Midoriya every time he has thought the end was upon him Midoriya was there, each time giving him just enough time to escape death. Because of that he had chosen to do everything he can to twist fate to his will.

At face value Toshinori is a friendly though slightly awkward man, using misdirect tactics or simply playing dumb to avoid people learning too much about him or getting too close to him. As people get closer to him his heroic ideas come more into play in how he speaks, his awkward dorkiness dropping off in favor of seriousness. Finally, under the right circumstances his passion as a former hero will still shine through.

POWERS/ABILITIES: Toshinori was the 8th holder of the quick “One For All,” which gave him a myriad of a abilities including super strength, speed and invulnerability. However, at his current canon point he has passed the quirk on to Izuku Midoriya and used up the last lingering remnants of the quirk remaining in his body. He is still able to flex into his “muscle form” but can only hold it for a few seconds, maybe a minute at most, making it more of a parlor trick than anything else. He now is a normal, though abnormally tall and abnormally skinny, human being.
