I like to think that one of the lessons Aizawa taught class A is "always have a knife".

You never know when you'll need a knife so never not be in possession of a knife. As such every member of class A has a knife hidden somewhere in their hero costumes. His gift to them when they graduated were custom engraved knives with their student number on them.

Not on board? Ok. Just imagine how funny it would be tho.

Villain: "Number one hero Deku! I am punch proof! The more you hit me the stronger I get! How will you defeat me now-"

Midoriya: "Knife."

Villain: "Wha-" *gets stabbed*

Midoriya: "Knife."

Hero: "Oh no! We're tied up! However will we escape!"

Tsuyu: "Knife."

Hero: "What?"

Tsuyu, pulling a knife off the bottom of her foot with her tongue: "Knife."

Groupie getting a hug: "Are you using your quirk or are you just happy to see me?"

Kirishima: "It's a knife."

Groupie: "...What?"

Kirishima: "Knife."

Villain, completely insulated in rubber: "You're a one trick pony chargebolt."

Kaminari, reaching down into his boot: "Oh boy are you wrong my dude!"

Hero: "You need to calm down."

Bakugou, reaching down into his V-neck: "Listen here you son of a BITCH-"

Hero: "WHY DO YOU HAVE A KNIFE!?"

Kouda: "Stop scaring the pigeons! They're a domesticated species that we abandoned back into the wild. They're sweet creatures who are pets by nature!"

Douchebag: "Or what?"

Kouda: "..."

Douchebag: "..."

Kouda: "..."

Douchebag: "oh my GOD HE HAS A KNIFE-"

➤ Sin Alignment & Primary and Secondary Sins

Featuring: All Demon Characters (+ OCs)

Content: Worldbuilding headcanons about how demons determine their sins.

a/n: I've mentioned this idea before because it helps my characterization for the demon characters, so here's a more detailed explanation.

SIN ALIGNMENT

Demon children aren’t “born” already aligned with a particular sin and sins aren't assigned either. A demon's sin alignment evolves as they grow up and once they’re fully matured, the sin(s) that guides their behaviour is obvious.

Fully grown demons can usually assume how other demons think or how they'll behave based on their sin. Young demons are inherently more chaotic in comparison because there is no defining sin yet to explain their motivations for certain behaviour. They're unpredictable because they're still trying to figure out their true nature, and it's not a quick or easy process.

Demons don't simply look at a baby demon and say, “That there's a Lust baby.” The family or the demons the child spends the most time with can affect which sins they gravitate towards to a limited degree.

Exposure can impact how a growing demon interacts with sin. A family of Greed demons is more likely to have a child that also grows up to be a Greed demon, but that’s not a guaranteed outcome.

Experience is the last crucial piece that helps young demons discover themselves. A greedy demon child might shift their sin preference to Lust or Envy as they explore new parts of the world that slowly become available to them with age.

The subtleties of their familial relationships, and the things young demons experience/explore as they grow up, can easily disrupt any attempt to pre-determine their sin alignment.

Basically, demon children are hellish little imps that tend to be impulsive and chaotic and unpredictable.

Fallen angels, like the Demon Brothers, are rare exceptions because they are usually prone to specific sin(s) by the time they're cast from the Celestial Realm and become demons.

PRIMARY & SECONDARY SINS

Due to the overlapping nature of many sins, I assign a primary and secondary sin to each demon character—the two strongest sins that resonate within them most. In many cases, demons of the same alignment get along well. There are some obvious exceptions:

— Pride demons with easily bruised egos may end up in petty squabbles, and then they get even more upset they were reduced to such behaviour in the first place. (If they DID engage in stupid fights, it was the other demons' fault, obviously.)

— Wrath demons usually have quick tempers and resort to violence to settle their disputes. Even the ones with deceptively docile demeanors can be unpredictable if something innocuous sets them off.

My characterization shifts slightly depending on the context, but generally speaking, these are the sin alignments I assign them most often (this list isn't exhaustive, there are many possibilities).

CANON DEMONS

Lucifer: Pride/Wrath or Pride/Lust

Mammon: Greed/Gluttony or Greed/Envy

Leviathan Envy/Greed or Envy/Sloth

Satan: Wrath/Pride or Wrath/Lust

Asmodeus: Lust/Greed or Lust/Pride

Beelzebub: Gluttony/Greed or Gluttony/Wrath

Belphegor: Sloth/Envy or Sloth/Wrath

Diavolo: Pride/Lust, Pride/Wrath or Pride/Envy

Barbatos: Greed/Pride or Greed/Lust

Mephistopheles: Combinations of Pride, Lust, and Envy (unless I missed it, his sin isn't confirmed in canon yet)

DEMON OCs

Karasu: Greed/Pride

Azra: Lust/Greed ↳ Virtue before he fell: Chastity

Zekhan: Wrath/Envy

Tenebris: Gluttony/Lust

Belial: Greed/Sloth ↳ Virtue before he fell: Diligence

Bathin (Current incarnation): His sin alignment hasn't been determined yet because he’s too young. He's childish and immature at times like most growing demons are. There have been moments where he demonstrates extremely manipulative, jealous, or deceitful behaviour. (Best early guesses if you asked Mephisto: Envy, Wrath and/or Sloth.) ↳ Past incarnation sins: Pride/Wrath

The Demon King: Lust/Sloth before Diavolo's birth; Envy/Sloth afterwards

ANGEL OCs & VIRTUES

Metatron: Kindness (Sins: Envy/Greed)

Gabriel: Chastity (Sins: Lust/Pride)

Uriel: Patience (Sins: Wrath/Lust)

Seraphiel: Diligence (Sins: Sloth/Pride)

Habuhiah: Charity (Sins: Greed/Envy)
