#also I wanted to add that his main weapon is a tetsubo

What's Slash like in the Mutanimals AU?

Slash's character was a struggle for me to get down cause in each iteration he's completely different (look at his 87 self vs 2012, massive change in personality) while for most other characters there main core persona stays roughly the same just with a few tweaks. But I finally got his character down, and here's some funny irony. I took some inspiration for Slash's character from Robin from Teen Titans (2003), but my dream casting is for him to be voiced by Khary Payton aka Cyborg XD

Slash is an animal turned mutant much like Koya, but he was a mutant long before the mutagen bomb went off. He was mutated when he was a baby turtle and though he doesn't remember much of his early life he sometimes gets random visions and flashes of his past, but there's always hard to make out. His earliest memories he can remember is being a fighter apart of Battle Nexus, a secret underground battle royal where mutants fight each other (sometimes to the death) for the entertainment of humans.

To make a long story short, Slash ends up escaping that life with the help of an ex-friend and soon meets Leatherhead, who is running a community home for newly mutated mutants after the mutagen bomb went off. There, LH takes care of them, gives them shelter, food to eat, medical attention and helps them adjust to their new life as a mutant. Leatherhead took Slash in like he did for everyone else, but quickly noticing he's not a mutagen bomb victim, but a mutant similar to him, being mutated long before the bomb. LH began looking after Slash as if he was his own and the two formed an unlikely father son-like relationship. Because of this community home, Slash soon meets the rest of the future members of the Mighty Mutanimals!

Slash's personality I can describe as heroic but his past holds him back to fulfill those duties. He wants to be a hero and protect everyone, but feels he's not worthy because of his guilty/dark past, especially when he is deemed the leader of his new found team. He can be stubborn, but also kind and selfless. His friends and found family come first. He can be awkward and shy at times, especially when it comes to being around his crush, Alopex. He's responsible, but can act rebellious when needs to be, though he'd much rather do the right thing than lie.
