RIVALS | You never thought you’d be stuck between two men, let alone two that you’ve known for so long. You met Katsuki while in school at UA and Ren was your childhood friend—though he went to a different hero school. Now all twenty five and Pro Heroes you find yourself crossing paths with the both of them. Ren is quiet and observant whereas Katsuki is blunt and arrogant.

Two heroes. One rivalry. One very complicated love life. Ren Kurosawa, the cool-headed No. 6 Pro Hero Aftershock, and Katsuki Bakugo, the explosive Dynamight, have never been good at sharing the spotlight—or admitting when they want something. Their constant bickering, competitive streaks, and painfully obvious tension make it difficult to tell whether they want to beat each other or kiss each other. Both are stubborn, possessive in their own ways, and absolutely refuse to lose, especially when it comes to you. Unfortunately, neither has any intention of backing down, and your heart has become their newest battlefield.

Ren Kurosawa, aka Aftershock, is a 25-year-old Pro Hero ranked No. 6. Standing at 6’2”, he’s a lean, silver-haired fighter with storm-grey eyes and an electric charge that crackles beneath his skin. His quirk, Static Boom, lets him compress electrostatic energy into devastating concussive blasts. Quiet, sharp-tongued, and fiercely competitive, Ren prefers strategy over brute force—though his stubbornness often pushes him beyond his limits. He’s calm under pressure, a menace when provoked, and rarely as unbothered as he pretends to be.

Katsuki Bakugo, aka Dynamight, is a 25-year-old Pro Hero known for his explosive quirk and relentless drive to be the best. Standing at 6’0”, he has ash-blond hair, sharp crimson eyes, and a temper as volatile as the explosions he creates. Brash, arrogant, and brutally blunt, Katsuki is a tactical genius who refuses to back down from a challenge. Beneath his aggressive exterior lies fierce loyalty and a fiercely protective nature he’d rather die than admit to. He doesn’t do things halfway—and he sure as hell doesn’t lose quietly.
