This, Plus The Character Being Fully Aware Of It But Would Still Willingly Sacrifice Themselves Anyway

This, plus the character being fully aware of it but would still willingly sacrifice themselves anyway because it’s all they know how to do. Until, until !! the option of dying gets brutally ripped out of their grasp and now they’re left with a shattered world view with their only sense of purpose in shambles.

Even better if they end up the only person alive left, with a bonus of being kept alive because the person the character wanted to save turned around and sacrificed themself to save that character instead.

Or I guess the happier alternative is having the character meet a good bunch of friends who teach them how to be their own person and live, but who doesn’t love a good tragedy instead?

i looooove characters who are sacrificial lamb coded. characters who have never lived for themselves. characters born to be a tool, a weapon, a sacrifice, all of the above. a character raised by the heroes to save the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. a character raised by the villains to end the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. characters who are denied personhood so they can be used as tools instead. characters who never even had a chance to be people because they were shaped into something else from the moment they were born. characters who were born to die.

Shoto: You should pay because you’re the older sibling.

Dabi: No, you should pay! Because you have a hero job and make a bunch of money.

Natsuo: *pulls out Enji’s stolen credit card*

Present Mic, preparing Eri for her first day of school: If any of the other kids gave you a hard time, what did I say? Eri: You said I'm extra special and they were jealous! Aizawa: And if they still give you a hard time, what did I tell you to say? Eri: My dad can have you killed with one phone call! Aizawa: Good girl Present Mic: Present Mic: Ok first of all you can NOT be saying that-!

Dabi: The only thing I’ve got going for me is that I’m the hotter sibling.

Hawks: That does mean we’re gonna have to walk the 5 miles though

Dabi: Why do you insist on flying everywhere even though you’re exhausted

Hawks: Because I’m a cheapskate and transport is expensive ;D
