Nosy Teenage Mutant Turtles!

NTMT is my original iterartion or AU of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.The story follows Rapheal, Michelangelo, Donatello and Leonardo as they try to uncover the mysterious circumstances around thier mutation and other odd happenings around New York, all begining when the Hamato siblings finally find their eldest brother Raph after years of him being missing.

This story combines multiple elemets from multiple different pieces of turtle media, as long as some things that I entirely made up. So concepts for characters can range from what they've always been to insanely absurd.

The Turtles!

Not all of the turtles are together at the begining of the story, originally the only ones in Splinter's care, living in the sewers are Mikey, Donnie and Leo, but through the course of the story the three find more of their siblings!

Rapheal: The story begins with Rapheal finding his brothers--or really, his brothers finding him--he had been living on the streets, avoiding people, with no one besides himself. He spent his days hiding away from humans, finding food and searching for answers about where he came from and if he was truly alone in this world. One day when his searching leads him to a fight with another mutant, it apparently attracts the attention of his brothers and they are reunited! Raph isn't the best at being in a family--much less an oldest brother, but he tries his best and is incredibly protective of his brothers. He spent so long trying to find them, and now that he has them he won't let anything happen to them.

Michelanglo: Mikey is the acting eldest brother. He's goofy and playful and works very hard to take care of his two younger brothers, so when they're reunited with Raph, it takes a bit of adjusting to pass that role off to someone who is far less qualified. Still, Mikey is the heart of the family, he's always looking out for everyone and trying to make everyone feel at home, and despite the occasional arguments, he actually gets along with Raph great and is glad to finally have someone his own age around. While he may not appreciate his suggestions of snooping into the past that always seem to get Donnie and Leo into trouble, the two are very close. He's also very close with Don and Leo, making an effort to engage with their hobbies and be the best older brother he can be.

Donatello: Donnie is the quietest out of all the brothers and has the hardest time connecting with people, in stark contrast to Mikey. So, needless to say he doesn't initially appreciate the reuniting with Raph and how family dynamics have been shaken up a bit. However, Donnie is very invested in the idea of finding out where they all came from and tracking down the other mutants that apparently exist, and through that shared desire for knowledge the two bond. Donnie is definitely still the closest with Leo, with the two being twins and all. He's also just the most willing to be the guinea pig for all of his dangerous experiments. But uh--definitely the twin thing. more so. yeah.

Leonardo: (eugh I’m gonna try to keep this short) Leo is the baby of the family, however much he tries to deny it. He looks up to Mikey a lot, and dreams of being a great hero and leader just like he older brother, so when Raph comes along and is suddenly the oldest and thus in charge… he’s not happy. He doesn’t like the way he runs things, or how loud his music is, or how he’s just worse than Mikey, and Leo tells him this. The two get into quite a few fights. Besides that, Leo also spends a lot of time with his twin, Donnie, and is often testing out the various gadgets he makes, and he also spends a lot of time watching Power Rangers, Lion Force Voltron, and other similar shows.

Jennika and Venus aren't reunited with their family until much later in the story, so their descriptions are shorter due to spoilers :-)

Jennika: Jennika is probably the toughest of the turtles. She’s violent, similarly to Raph, but her love from fighting comes more from her relentless anger issues rather than an urge to protect her family. Despite this, she’s actually secretly a big softie who likes to listen to and play music, something she bonds with Raph over.

Venus: Venus, opposite to Jenny, puts forth an image of someone who is very calm and unbothered. Nonchalant, if you will (😭). In reality, she’s very opinionated about everything and when in private will NOT hesitate to tell her stupid brothers that they're being stupid. She’s also unapologetically girly, which isn’t too relevant but it makes me happy. She definitely keeps sticking bows onto all of the guy’s stuff, and Leo is the only one who doesn’t care.
