TMNT Megamix

• Name: Michaelangelo
• Age Range: Teenager
• Species: Mutant Turtle
• Character Role: Hero in a Half Shell, The Moodmaker, Team Conscience
• Canon: Yes
• Personality: Mikey is a bro. He's calm and collected, keeping his cool no matter what comes his way. He's clever and intuitive but doesn't overthink things, always living in the moment. Compared to his brothers, he tends to be the most social, constantly butting in and partying it up. He can be impatient and crass, even dismissive, but he has a big heart. Conversely, this makes him emotionally vulnerable. He doesn't know how to handle pain and loss, going from a stable bedrock to a blubbering mess. He deeply cares about his family and isn't sure what he'll do without them.
• History: Once a totally bodacious baby turtle, Mikey and his three brothers were dropped into the sewers and found by their master, a mutated human turned rat who called himself Splinter. The old sensei had been living in the sewers, hiding from the dangerous Foot Clan. He had been searching for a way to cure his mutation and get his revenge on the Shredder, the Foot's mysterious leader who had caused his transformation years ago.

Splinter found the four turtles and took them in as his pets. Out of respect for the Renaissance masters, he named his pets Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo. One day, an opportunity came for the old master— a way to strike back at the Foot. He had come into contact with the Utroms, an alien race hiding in secret on Earth, with extreme genetic knowledge.

• Though they did not know how to cure Splinter's mutation, they could help him stop the Foot— using their own stockpiles of Ooze, the Utroms used human DNA to transform Splinter's baby turtle pets into humanoid Ninja Turtles. Splinter took the turtles in as his children and began to train them in ninjutsu, preparing them for the day they would be strong and skilled enough to strike against the Foot.

• Talents: Mikey isn't the smartest tool in the shred. This doesn't mean he's stupid. He's clever and resourceful, making the most out of his surroundings, but his intellect isn't his strongest suit. He's a natural with his nunchucks but doesn't have the discipline or patience for anything else. What he is is a peacemaker. He knows what makes people tick, intuitively grasping their intents or motivations. He can use it against them if he's desperate, but he prefers to work things out peacefully. This doesn't always work, but it's better than the alternative.
  • The mutagen itself might not have given the turtles the kind of abilities it gave others, but it did grant enhanced strength, speed, durability, and healing. They can hold their breath underwater for long periods, but they still need to come up.
• Assets: Mikey doesn't have that many assets. He has a pair of nunchucks, but that's about it. He has a small social network he can ask for help, but his situation keeps him from making too many friends.
• Influences: Mirage & 2003 with a splash of IDW
• Other Details: Has a pet cat named Klunk. Loves pizza, even more than his brothers. Talks like a 90's reject.

Well damn you were all busy while I was sleeping.

All of the characters approved! We have more than enough to get started on the RP this Saturday!

...fuck it, dibs on raph, though sheet will probably have to wait until i'm done with finals

i guess you can watch me shitpost i guess

i guess i couldve just edited this in instead of double posting, but i thought yall would want the notification

• Name: Raphael, or Raph for short
• Age Range: Teenager
• Species: Mutant turtle
• Character Role: Hero in a Half-Shell, with a fiery temper
• Canon: yes
• Personality: It would not be inaccurate to say Raph feels very...strongly about many things. He always has, really; when they were younger, his family knew him as the one who'd start yelling if someone got more [WHATEVER] than the others for no clear reason...even if that someone was him, yes. Teen that he is now, he's more mature in the sense that things that were a big deal when he was a child are not such an issue now, but he still readily gets fired up over matters of justice. It's a double-edged sword, really; on the one hand, it's an excellent source of will to help others and energy to make it happen, but on the other it's been the source of many exhausting arguments and a few jumped guns. In lower-stakes situations, he's considerably more amicable, perhaps even fun to be around, though still excitable and liable to get a little too into an activity he enjoys enough (challenge him to a competition and watch him go insane trying to win).
• History: Once upon a time, little Raph was a cute if feisty baby turtle. That all changed when he came into the care of a man turned anthro rat living in the sewers. Splinter, as he was called, kept the little guy and his three brothers as pets while seeking revenge on the Foot Clan who had caused his transformation.
  That revenge would be granted in the form of contact with the Utroms, a strange alien race who, while they couldn't undo the mutation, could grant him the ability to strike back by mutating his four turtles to be more humanoid in form and mind. From there he trained them to...well, you get the idea.
  It was a big day when Splinter finally declared the boys were ready enough to go up to the surface and fight evil. Finally, the heroic vigilantes they'd prepared their whole lives to be! There was just one hitch, and that was his father's choice of which of them should lead...not so much that it wasn't him, but that it was Leo, because boy, did that power go to his brother's head. It's like he thinks the rest of them are stupid or something! Which okay, maybe Raph wasn't always the brightest bulb and needed to actively teach himself idioms, but did Leo have to be so freaking smug about his position over them? At the very least, Splinter could've explained why him over any of the others, but as far as Raph can tell the reason is lost on all of them.
• Talents:
  • A lifetime of training has, unsurprisingly, given him a gift for ninjutsu. This is most obvious in his strength and proficiency with his sais, but he's no slouch in terms of stealth and agility either. This is boosted further by his nature as a mutant, granting him some additional strength, speed, durability and healing ability to boot.
  • Being a naturally passionate person, he's also far and away the most determined of the turtles, provided of course that he can channel it in the right direction. (Honestly not too hard, they're already fighting crime and all, but it wouldn't hurt to have someone wise enough to keep this from being taken advantage of.) If it can and should be done, he will not rest until it is done, even if it takes hours of sustained exertion or beating his head against a wall (entirely likely, because unfortunately planning is not one of his talents. Gee, if only there were someone who could cover that weakness and didn't have their head too far up their ass..). Of course, it should be no surprise when he needs the long rest after overclocking himself to that degree; he still has limits, after all.
• Assets:
  • A trusty pair of sais, naturally. He takes aggressively good care of them when they're not in the middle of being used for their intended purpose. Don't touch them without asking. On the off-chance they can't do the job or are otherwise not an option, he might also sometimes break out a pair of backup tonfa; he's a little less worried about something happening to them, though you'll still get an earful if you're careless with them.
  • A written list of figures of speech, with accompanying pencil. He'll occasionally take it out and add to it if some figurative language goes past his head. Which is often.
• Influences: I'm honestly winging this based on what seemed like it'd synergize with the other turtles (particularly Leo), with a few things that seemed amusing in the moment thrown in for flavor. You might occasionally spot a minor detail from Rise, though, mostly because that's the part I'm familiar with.
• Other Details:
  • Raph's dialogue will be in red text, naturally.
  • He has a maddening amount of knowledge on music theory, and a strong preference for harsher genres and very complex sounds. Wear some ear protection if you barge into his room without warning (or better yet, just knock like a civilized person. He'll turn it down...enough).

i guess you can watch me shitpost i guess

And accepted

• Name: Gary "Garrotte-My-Own-Neck" Dibbler

• Age Range: Adult

• Species: Human

• Character Role: Food Merchant / black gray market salesman

• Canon: No

• Personality: Garry Dibbler is willing to try crazy ideas to promote his business empire, jumping on whatever he thinks is the new thing with usually disastrous (or at least unproductive) results.

• History: After the bomb, Garry didn't mutate but decided that Mutant Town offered an untapped market. He moved his food truck to mutantt-town and wears a rat costume that doesn't really fool anyone.

• Talents:

I Know a Guy - Having tried a variety of business ventures in the past, Garry can usually reliably get any shoddy, low-quality goods. Currently he is trying to go through a giant warehouse full of cabbage.

Sell the Sizzle - Whatever you want, Gary will have a reasonably close facsimile, or at least will be convinced he does. Body armor? A second hand jacket and some old phone books, a little duct tape, and you're all set. Fine dining? Try some of my fried cabbage, you're going to love it...

Always Open - Gary gets by with almost no sleep, his Dibbler-Wagon can show up anywhere in the city.

• Assets: The Dibbler-Wagon, a food truck that Dibbler uses as his base of operations. In addition to the cooking facilities there is a cot, a range of clothes for Gary Dibbler, and multiple smuggling compartments. Dibbler's main food offering is cabbage based, including fried cabbage and cabbage pizza, but he will make custom orders. "So... you're saying you don't want ANY cabbage?"

• Influences: Loosely based on Cut-My-Own-Throat Dibbler from Discworld. In costume, looks like Lester from Beakman's world.
