#Nadakhan is chilling in the teapot

Writing under the cut

An innocent soul boards your ship. They plead for help. “Ninjago is in danger.”

You can’t help but laugh in their face. Good! You cheer. A little danger ought to lighten up the place, at least. You already hold the greatest danger that ninjago could ever face, you have already done enough. Lightning expertly dances across your fingertips, threatening to shock anyone nearby.

You order your crew to walk this teenager off the plank. You have enough crew members and it’s always a shame when you’re forced to crush an innocent soul and meld it into one of your crewmates.

Before they can be shoved off the plank into the ocean below, there’s a bright green flash. Your eye is blinded, and your body trembles with confused anger. What is this?! You wail, and when your vision clears you see the kid holds a bright green power in the palm of their hands.

A laugh bubbles out of your throat. Of course the kid wants to prove their worth. You unsheath your sword and immediately, your crewmates step away from the kid. You point an electrified sword towards the outsider.

The kid’s fear is evident on their face, features twisted in worry. You watch the kid take a breath before their worried frown flips into a confident smirk. Interesting. Do you know what your lightning means? They ask.

It means you are strong, you respond.

It means you are destined for something better. They say. It means you are one of the few meant to protect ninjago from evil.

Ugh, this shit again. You nod your head towards one of your crew and a sword is lobbed towards the kid. The kid catches. Good. You will test this kid, and see if he is worthy for your crew- or if he’d be better off dead.

...

During the fight, the kid mentions knowing your mother. They call her “Liberty.”

Your mother’s name is Edna and she lives far away from your current life.

The kid seems shocked at this information, and you knock the sword out of their hands. Your sword grazes their neck and you demand to know everything.

Boldly, the kid plasters that confident smirk on their face once more. “Help me, and you’ll learn everything.”

Lightning buzzes under your skin. It reaches towards this kid, yearning to join this damned adventure.

“Clancee. You’re acting captain until I return.”

Tell the people of your blorbitos¹, bountyboss²!

1 - blorbitos (noun): smaller blorbos, that originate from one's own brain;

2 - [n]boss (noun): a term equal to girlboss, often using a certain part of the interlocutor's identity or aesthetic as the replacement for "girl".

Aye aye, captain!

So i have. Many. Many many blorbitos from my brain. Ignoring all the ocs that come from various unused fics, here are my two main brain blorbos:

418 -- Red Visor oc

418 is a Red Visor who formerly worked for Unagmi but eventually developed self-awareness, passed through the Manifestation Gate, and is just kinda chilling in the real world now. He's become very intrigued by philosphy and sociology and existentialism and is a total nerd who reads long, dry academic papers just for fun. Hes also probably the closest thing to a well-adjusted individual in all of Ninjago. Red Visors dont originally have individual names iirc, but he named himself after a particular HTTP error code bc that's just his sense of humor. His friends call him 'Four' for short. Ive also been considering putting him in a post-ns12 fic that ive actually been working on for several weeks now, but that depends on whether or not i actually write the darn thing

Avery - elemental master oc!

Now i went a bit overboard with her backstory, but if youll indulge me for a bit of a rant! So, in the distant future, long after the original ninja are gone with only Lloyd left bc immortality, a kid named Avery befriends the current master of amber, named Kiara. Anywho, a new threat has been wrecking Ninjago and an old, wisened Lloyd has been recruiting elemental masters to help him protect the world once more. And since Kiara is the new master of amber, she gets recruited - and because Avery is her bestie, she insists on tagging along.

Avery isnt initially an elemental master, tho! She starts out in a support role that is functionally similar to Samurai X. But over time she gets a bit jealous of everyone's cool powers and adventures, and all the attention they get from saving the world all the time. So when a new villain manages to find the Teapot of Tyrahn and releases Nadakhan...well, Avery gets duped into wishing for elemental power. And thus the element of acid is created! The drawback? Using her power physically hurts her! And she doesnt have a lot of control over it! Isnt that fun.

Anyway even after they defeat Nadakhan (for good this time), Avery is still stuck with her broken element, and old!Lloyd trains her to control it. And JUST when she is finally getting the hang of things, guess who shows up - the Time Twins! Remember how they yoinked off to the future at the end of HoT? Yeah this is that future. And remember the Obsidian Glaive from Shadow of Ronin? The relic capable of manipulating peoples memories? Yeah they manage to piece that thing back together, and use it on Kiara to coerce her into turning traitor and siding with the Hands of Time (by twisting her memories to make her think Avery isnt her friend but rather her enemy). So in a big confrontation between Avery and the Time Twins/Kiara, Kiara shoves Avery into a time vortex.

Eventually, Avery lands in the past. Several centuries in the past. Roughly circa season 3 of the canon era, to be specific. And. Uh. Shes not having a great time, lets just say that. Especially since old!Lloyd's teachings were the only thing that helped Avery control her broken element, but now she has to deal with a version of Lloyd that is actually less experienced than her and its...complicated. So Avery has some messy baggage regarding Lloyd, and also its just generally weird to have her old man mentor be so young and spry and silly.

In an AU where Avery exists, shed have met the ninja during Chen's tournament (due to future knowledge she knows Chen is evil, but old!Lloyd has never been especially forthcoming about the more traumatic details of his past and also she has terrible memory, so she while she knows Chen is evil she doesnt exactly know the nature of his schemes. Shes just here bc she wants to steal Clouse's spellbook in case it has any time travel spells that can send her home.) From then on she would be a recurring ally, using her vague-at-best knowledge of world history to aid them in their various quests, until officially joining the team to help search for Master Wu.

Anyway, im not much of an artist but here's a drawing of Avery! Dont ask me to draw 418 tho, i dont think my limited art skills reach that far

I have some more ocs, but these are the most well-developed, fleshed-out characters i have so far.
