This was literally the plot to the Mazes and Mutants episode of TMNT 2012.

You have been captured by an illusion-casting lonely mutant wizard. Roll perception check!

I loved this episode.

Leonardo the Nerd's sassy explanation of nerd hobbies for nerds and how you all need to nerd with him immediately.

And Mikey's faith in his +1 Ring of Awesome 🧡

YES. TURTLES. AVOID THE CURSES! SOLVE THE RIDDLES! AND BATTLE THE BEAST! WIN! WIN! WIN!

❤️💙🧡💜

What horrifying new social rules are the kids inventing now

lemme just info dump my sci-fi/fantasy tmnt au since i can’t sleep

Michelangelo “Mikey” Kamei

at the start of the main plot line, he’s an 18 year old western painted turtle mutant and goes by he/him pronouns.

he was sold off to a circus that use their charm to sympathize with patrons to steal more money and get information that they sell to hitmen, assassins, etc.

Mikey is the CHARMER, he’s naturally goofy enough to pull people in and he uses his charisma to manipulate others for whatever he wants.

his main weapon is a whip sword that the ringmaster of the circus gifts Mikey for his 13th birthday. it’s steel grey and orange.

during the main plot line, he and Raph butt heads A LOT do to their conflicting interests. (Mikey enjoys using his abilities to earn money while Raph does not.)

his personality is mainly charismatic, playful, and cheeky but can be very manipulative and cunning.

Raphael “Raph” Kamei

at the start of the main plot line, he’s a 17 year old common snapping turtle mutant and goes by he/him pronouns.

he was sold to the owner of an elite fighting ring that allows viewers to bet on who will win, the winner earns a small portion of the money that is bet.

Raph, overtime, becomes aggressive and angry. he DESPISES being used for money.

i’m still figuring out what his weapon of choice would be, i’m stuck between dual arm blades or gauntlets.

while he argues intensely with Mikey, he is EXTREMELY close to Leo, who shares a similar upbringing to him.

his personality is aggressive and stand-offish but still rather protective over his siblings.

Leonardo “Leo/Leon” Kamei

at the start of the main plot line, he’s a 16 year old Chinese pond turtle mutant and goes by he/him pronouns.

he’s sold to the high elf kingdom to be used for intense work because of mutants reputation for having a naturally high amount of strength.

he obsessively studies the archers for years and eventually learns how to use an elven kingdom bow.

he manages to steal the king’s prized bow before he escapes and uses that as his weapon of choice, it’s white and blue.

he has a lot of knowledge on medicine and herbs, what plants are good for healing and eating and which ones are better suited for poisons.

his personality is very unnervingly quiet and serene, it feels like he just stares into your very being and knows every sin you’ve ever committed.

Donatello “Donnie; Don; DonDon” Kamei

at the start of the main plot line, they’re a 14 year old geometric tortoise mutant and go by they/them pronouns. (they don’t mind masculine terms such as brother, son, etc.)

because of how small and young they are at the time, they are just handed off to an orphanage alongside their twin sister.

Donnie and their twin get split up when the twin is adopted right away, they aren’t adopted until two years later.

Donnie is raised by a human woman who teaches them self defense alongside her niece, April O’Neil.

they do not remember anything about any of their siblings and takes a lot of effort and evidence to convince that they’re related to the older three, which makes them feel left out do to the three having some sort of memory and bond.

April is the one who gives them the idea to use a bo staff as their weapon of choice, but while brainstorming they have the idea to have it be a sort of transforming bo staff that can turn into a scythe on one side and a spear on the other. (i like bo staffs, do not perceive me.)

they’re incredibly intelligent and a tech wiz, using any chance they get to create things or tinker with stuff to make it better.

their personality is very similar to the ROTTMNT version of Donnie, but more cold and reserved. they’re so awkward around their brother’s do to lack of memory.

there’s some other characters that i want to talk about but i still need to refine their backstory and the little details, so i won’t be able to talk about them rn but these are the four brothers! feel free to ask questions about anything, some stuff might be potential spoilers tho (ie. Donnie’s twin’s name.)
