Fanon hawks who had his feathers forcefully removed all over his body except for his wings. Removed and made to never grow back. The commission deemed them useless and a hazard to his work. Fanon let it happen and while it doesn't bother him anymore, he still gets the feeling that his feathers were never removed. When those times comes, he often gets upset over his feathers being removed. He swears at times he can still feel them, but becomes disheartened when he remembers they were removed.
This is brought up one day after a hard day at work. He was depleted of all his feathers, yet still had to meet Dabi at their usual spot for intel. During that meeting Dabi had made a snarky remark about Hawks getting too close due his wings being depleted of feathers and Hawks with no weapon. Fanon Hawks had quirked his head in a questioning manner, exclaiming he still had feathers. When he went to pull up his sleeve to show his feathers, all that could be seen was his bare arm. Fanon blinked for a moment talking to himself.
"Oh right, they aren't there anymore..."
Dabi rolled his eyes and told him he still wasn't ready to join the league. After their meeting Fanon left to go back home, whilst Dabi started to make his way back to the LOV base. On his walk back he couldn't help but get what Fanon had said, out of his head. What did he mean by there weren't there anymore?
F.Hawks: Not if I have anything to say about it. Hah! Double blue! I'm so going to win, just you wait!
To All the Hawks: Your personalities make me think you'd be very good with kids. Thoughts on kids? Maybe taking a little orphan girl under your....wing?
In unison: Kids?
C.Hawks: I always enjoy making kids happy, and putting a smile on their face is just another joy of being a hero!
F.Hawks: I don't mind kids. As long as they aren't the type to constantly put everything they touch in their mouths, then I'm fine with them.
C.Hawks: Though, I don't know if I would have the time to watch over a kid while I'm working. I feel like they would be very lonely since I'd be gone all day.
F.Hawks: Ah you and your excuses. I don't mind taking a chick under my wing. Plus if her original parents didn't want them, I sure as Hell do. Birds of a feather have to stick together after all.
C.Hawks: Oh sure, play the guilt trip card. Very mature of you fanon.
F.Hawks: Look bud, are you gonna help or bail on me like your mother did when she gave you to the commission?
C.Hawks: Okay ouch first of all. Second, fine. But your watching her while I'm at work.
F.Hawks: Yessir!
C.Hawks: I've got to admit, they are very cute.
F.Hawks: That they are.
Tell me what songs you think fit Hawks the most. Personally, I think Identity by Grandson fits him the most.
Bit of a poll on what major work, I should do next.

Akira (OC) meets Hawks for the first time
These are some that I had in mind, and will at some point do all, but I'm curious on what y'all are lore interested in seeing first.
Though if any of y'all are interested ij something else, please feel free to comment or just send a submission!
Whenever I re-watch the 3rd MHA movie, I like to think that Hawks is fast, but like, inhumanely fast. So fast that he can dodge literal gunfire and take down the enemies with ease. BECAUSE HE FUCKING DOES! He moves so fast that he is unharmed as he fights on the ground and still keeps going. Without his wings btw, because his feathers are busy searching, so ye. Hawks is fast, but like, inhumanely fast that it's scary.
Going to punch tumblr in the face~
the darkness of hawks my hero academia
I remember when Hawks was first introduced and opinions were kinda split since we were still trying to figure him out. Even with a bit of a shaky start, I think some people were enamored with him from the get-go. Anyhow, you’re right to say that he was designed to be a fan favorite, Horikoshi admitted that himself when he said he wanted him to be popular!
Hmm. That’s kind of interesting to point out. “A rags to riches story?” And the “opportunity of the hero system” ooh that makes me think, and once again I am wishing we got more on Hawks’ side of the HPSC story and how his debut went. I can definitely see them pulling a “with hard work, you too can be a hero!” and “the hero life offers you many great opportunities and grand splendor” to reel people in, but I think that happens naturally because of the All Might craze. Hawks’ history was kept private so nobody’s gonna be saying he went from rags to riches, and certainly not Hawks himself with how little he shares.
Woah 😂 Oh my god, the spooky music came out of nowhere! That surprised me, and what a dramatic explanation, “crafted on an empty conveyor belt by men in suits and empty office rooms” and you called him a chameleon HELP- but apt description. I feel like I’m reading a fanfic by a theatre kid, this is neat. Really poetic in a serious, looming darkness kind of way. And then everything playing in the background??? Haha, really cool way to design a video and with the sound effects.
I’m glad you acknowledged that while Hawks’ theatrics COULD have been bits and pieces of who he might’ve turned out to be without HPSC interference, it’s mostly trained acting. Which is part of why he became my favorite. I think it’s really cool to analyze what he does and try to figure out the intentions behind them, and how he switches from one personality to another.
And…there’s where I’ll have to disagree. Lady Nagant might’ve been a hired killer, but Hawks isn’t. The HPSC stopped the whole “killing” thing after the last Chairman was killed. And he’s never tried to enable them? He was really upset about that, not wanting to turn a blind-eye to the League’s victims, didn’t let anyone die during the High-End incident despite the HPSC clearly saying “you can, and you will” even if it could’ve convinced Dabi. He’s not the HPSC’s blind puppet. And he definitely doesn’t like them or working for them. Otherwise he wouldn’t have said, “there’s nobody to give me orders anymore, I’m free of my shackles.” When they got shut down.
The spy gig wasn’t the first time he expressed disliking their ideas. The HPSC loves putting up appearances, past and future, with “false sweetness” and he ruined their elaborate little public showcase of the top heroes. They wanted polite PR lines? They called it a “critical turning point?” he threw that line back in their faces. “If this is a critical turning point, then what I don’t want to hear is all these PR-friendly soundbites.” You know, the same thing that annoyed Nagant for it being a lie to the public to save face. Perfect, “safe words” but not real, honest heroics. He sounds rude, but he shoots down the idea of “clinging to the past” by making a counter-point to every line said during that. The HPSC was very frustrated with losing All Might, this was their way to make up for it. But society shouldn’t cling to that old system. Hawks is the first hero to ever say that. Otherwise pretty much everyone is trying to cling to the old ways and become the next All Might.
It’s funny. They expressed frustration over “this is what we get for relying on one man.” But the HPSC continues their old habits of relying on one man when they sent Hawks in alone to spy on the villains with no way out for him, forbidding him to tell anyone of his mission and hiding how he was undercover even during the raid. He could’ve gotten help, he wouldn’t have thought killing Twice was his only option if he had back-up. But nothing. They sent him to deal with the consequences alone, and they got their karma from making the child of a villain, pretend to be a villain and do things he hates, thinking he’d do it easily, but Hawks drew it out for so long that Twice’s clone of Re-Destro destroyed their HQ and killed the Chairwoman. And might I add it was really stupid of them to invite Re-Destro to talk teaming up with support items or whatever when there’s no way they wouldn’t have known he was dangerous. Hawks would’ve warned them. And he knows they’re manipulating him. Isn’t it sad that he says “calling it a proposal when I can’t refuse? how malicious of you” when Nagant tried to refuse killing, she got a gun pulled out on her and got dumped in Tartarus. Hawks likes being a hero, and helping people. And they’re providing support for his mom, and hiding his family history. They’ve got blackmail on him, and Hawks himself can’t refuse if saying yes means someone else won’t have to dirty their hands in his place. He’ll take on the burden so people can rest easy.
And as funny as the sentence “what is Wash’s body count?” is, Hawks and Nagant are the only ones of their kind that were created in this way. Horikoshi’s said it, I’m not just pulling everything out of thin air.
I don’t view heroes killing villains or criminals as “dark” at all
sometimes when a villain is dangerous you have no choic
Sometimes I like to think that Hawks had to kill someone as one of his jobs and the first time it happened Hawks was filled with shock and trauma over having to actually kill someone. And rather than the commission giving him comfort and reassurance, they send him to a "therapist" that is actuallu a worker who has a mindwipe quirk and removes the memories of the feelings he felt after killing.
Hawks had to visit this "therapist" many times, and now when he kills someone as he is ordered to, he feels numb and no remorse. The frequent vists had put his mind in a state of where he has no idea how to feel for killing someone, as that spot in his memories that are meant to be for emotions after a traumatic event, have been clouded with static that prevent anything from filling that gap.
Nothing is better than feral, unhinged, spooky Hawks
Its so me I love spooky Hawks <3
Chapter 3 should be out by tomorrow!
