Quickie post about Niko's (and Mekal) skills before i go to bed (it's 4am)
EXPLORATION SKILLS:
- Restore stamina in the middle of climbing, other members of the party won't be able to do this, only Niko can (he has them Meks).
- Can use Resonance Stone (Sumeru) or Soul Rush (Inazuma) from a more further distance than required (useful for Commissions usually)
MEKAL
Originally named Meka-1, is Niko's very first invention so he means a lot to Niko, thus why Mekal is constantly improving more and more. He also formally worked as a body double for Niko when he was still doing his phantom thief shtick and aid him in escaping but since that day was done and over, Mekal serves as a butler of sort and is used to collect energies to continue powering future Meks made by Niko.
Mekal has 3 forms as of currently:
- The pocket-size form (as a hat) that has elemental detection which notify when there's a nearby elemental attacks and as an exploration skill can be used to figure the quickest way to escape from enemies when you're suddenly attacked. While normally, Niko's Mek hand already has Anemo fused into it (He's a Catalyst) this Mekal can also attached itself to one of the hands and infused it with enough Anemo Energy for it to shoot out powerful Anemo beams. Niko also use him to talk for him when he goes nonverbal haha.
- The spider form, this form is a part of Niko's elemental skill, its used to collect elemental reactions and turn them into energy. btw trivia but this form and the hat from has a sort of high pitched robotic voice to it
As a skill (Elemental Skill): it's use to turn all elemental reactions into Anemo DMG boost, that means that your party will be immune to elemental reactions from enemies for about 5s but can still deal elemental reactions to enemies and turn those into Anemo DMG boost as well. This is made so Niko works well with almost, if not all, Anemo character and is great for an all Anemo team. The affect of this skill will raise with more Anemo users in the team 👌 (btw the name for this skill is "All for One or One for Naught" )
- The butler form, this form is most used with his Elemental Burst. Mekal in this form is usually used to collect Ousia and Pneuma energies and, while serving his sentence, a very helpful person. He's very good butler and is doing his best to better serve Niko but since he has read too many butlet books, caused a problem when he goes around addressing him as "Young Master" and others as either "Monsieur" or "Madaam". Even till this day he still call Sigewinne "Madaam Sigewinne"........ another trivia but this form has those sultry butler voice, truly french of him
As a skill (Elemental Burst): will release a powerful smoke-bomb like Anemo Attack which damaged an area of enemies, best thing about this is that if you're fighting any of the Meks then they will immediately triggered an Annihilation reaction causing all of them to deactivate. There's a reason why they're known to be The Araignée Noire, immobilising their enemies like a spider does....

Echo and Toga: The Full Story
Okay, I did a poll for how I should share my selfship stories, and 'text post with illustrations' won the poll, so I'm doing a full four-section post for each of my f/os: Backstory, First Meeting, Getting Together, and Where We're At! They're written to be as understandable as possible for people unfamiliar with the source!
With that said, here's my selfship with Toga! Content warnings for backstory abuse, poly!League of Villains (which has some funky age gaps that aren't commented on here), and canon-typical blood drinking.
Chapter One: Backstories
Toga and Echo both grew up in a world defined by Quirks: powers that manifest at the age of five or six, when children are usually in Kindergarten.
Toga’s Quirk was Transform: by drinking someone’s blood, she could transform into them. This Quirk began as a fascination with blood, which disturbed her parents, and they instructed her to stop the behavior. She was obedient and played the dutiful daughter until the age of 15, at which point a classmate was injured around her, and she attacked him to drink his blood. Her parents were horrified and rejected her, at which point Toga left home and became a murderer.
About a year later, she was recruited to the League of Villains, a group looking for more freedom for villains, and she quickly made personal connections within the team. She is obsessive about love, blood, and looking cute.
Echo grew up in foster families, was adopted at 12, and their family moved to Japan when they were 14. They ran away the year afterwards, their home life intolerable for multiple reasons: mainly their adoptive father and brother, both of which used their fire quirks to punish Echo. They have a lasting distrust for fire quirk users. Echo’s Quirk is Cat’s Paw, which gives them the ability to transform into a small black and white cat, and also gives them better senses in their ‘human’ form.
They’ve been on the streets for two years, bouncing in and out of different situations, but tend to spend most of their time as a street cat for the ease of hunting and passing unnoticed.
Chapter Two: First Meeting
Echo can’t keep their cat form while sleeping, so they’re always looking for new places to curl up. One day, they find a warehouse full of empty boxes and choose a spot to spend the night. They wake up to Himiko cooing over them, and try to run, but get caught by Dabi while in cat form.
Turns out the warehouse was a League of Villains meeting location, and the League was a bit confused to find a naked girl sleeping on the floor. They take a few minutes to establish that Echo isn’t a hero agent, and then decide to bring them back to base: their Quirk could be useful, and they’re not keen to have a safehouse compromised.
Echo ultimately agrees because the League promises them food.
Once they’re in agreement, Himiko sweeps in and the two of them have an instant connection: a kindred spirit in form and temperament. Echo’s years of hunting have made them well-attuned to blood, and their matching yellow eyes make them look a bit like siblings, whereas they set them both apart from their original families. They’re already bonding on the trip back to base, and they’re besties by the time they get home.
Chapter Three: Getting Together
Himiko and Echo share an immediate obsession with each other. After years of unreciprocated affection, having someone who actually liked them back was addictive. While Echo is quite nervous about the other members of the League, that only makes them stick closer to Himiko. The two of them reluctantly split up for the first night, but by the next week, the two of them are sharing a bedroom, unwilling to part ways even for sleeping.
Echo also gets along quickly with Mr. Compress and Magne. Twice, Spinner, Shigaraki, and Dabi take longer for them to warm up to. They’re nervous around Shigaraki for a long time, aware of his status as the leader and the decision-maker, and they’re very on-edge around Dabi, who is a fire quirk user.
Getting used to Shigaraki is just a matter of time, and eventually Echo and Dabi sit down and have a proper discussion about everything and they end up friends at the end of it, although Dabi will take a little longer to admit it.
Himiko and Echo getting together basically slams the overall sexual tension in the League through the roof, and eventually everyone figures out their dynamics, with Dabi and Echo forming two different centers of the sexy side of the polycule.
Chapter Four: Where We’re At
I don’t tend to move this selfship through the BNHA canon, but this selfship starts in the lull between the Forest Training Camp Arc and the Shie Haissaikai arc. I suppose my s/i would probably take part in the Shie Haissaikai part, and saves Magne somehow, but I don’t like doing Big Plots in this selfship, so I don’t want to take it any further than that.
Anyways, we all live in an apartment together: Twice and Mr. Compress have their own places but spend most of their time with us. Having two people with a civilian persona is useful! The rest of us are kind of recognizable.
I mostly stay home while the others do villainy stuff: Kurogiri and I work together a lot, but he’s more useful in the field than I am, so I take over a lot of the housework. I’m useful for reconnaissance but not really for fighting.
When the others are home, we play video games and tease each other and do puzzles and watch TV, all the normal stuff. We do movie marathons and argue about dishes and send Twice out to get ice cream from the corner store at 2am. Me and Himiko are always touching, but the others can come join the cuddle pile. We spend the night in our own room, most times, unless I’m with someone else for the night and then I have to make it up to Toga with a fun date the next day!!!
Me and Himiko go out clubbing and pick up creepy guys and stab them in alleyways. We order way too many clothes online and have dress up parties and then return them all. We have pillow fights and snowball fights and tickle fights. We joke about running an OnlyFans account for the League. We generally have a lot of fun together!!!!! Every day!!
