Show Dev: MHA OC Maker – Create My Hero Academia Style Original Characters with AI

I recently built MHA OC Maker, an AI tool that allows anime fans to generate their own My Hero Academia-style original characters (OCs).

Why I Built This

In many anime communities, creating OCs (Original Characters) is a big part of fan creativity. Tools like avatar builders exist, but they usually rely on selecting fixed parts (hair, eyes, clothing).

I wanted to experiment with a different approach: using AI to generate anime-style characters directly from text descriptions.

This means you can describe almost any idea and generate a character instantly.

Examples:

A shy support hero with lightning abilities

A UA student with plant-based powers

A mysterious villain with shadow manipulation

What the Tool Can Do

Generate anime-style characters inspired by My Hero Academia

Text-to-image character generation

Multiple variations per prompt

Simple web interface for quick iterations

How It Works

The tool uses AI image generation models combined with prompt templates optimized for anime characters. The goal is to make OC creation simple even for people who cannot draw.

Instead of building characters piece by piece, you can just write your idea and see what AI creates.

Future Plans

Some features I'm exploring next:

Structured OC builder (hero type, quirk, personality)

Character backstory generator

Pose and costume variations

Export options for storytelling or roleplaying

If you're into anime, OC creation, or AI tools, I'd love to hear your feedback.
