Ninjago Next Gen AU: Introducing the OCs part 3.

(reposting cause it wasn’t shown in the tags)

I'm gonna introduce the Smith kids! Again, sorry for the drawing, I'm trying my best to improve it! Also, let me know what you think about the stories. And sorry if some things are confuse, there is gonna be another post where I'll explain, or maybe you can also ask me about it in the ask box! Let's start!

Kalani Smith: she's 19. She controls Fire. She's a Nindroid. She was created with Kai's DNA. She also has an heart, Zane choose to study himself, figuring out how to create an heart similar to his. He succeded, but the process was kept secret because it was something his father had done for him and he wanted to keep it like that. Pixal and Skylor's daughters are Nindroids too, but their heart is slightly different from Kalani's, since Pixal studied that on herself and the results were a bit different, even if it worked anyway. She has all human abilities and capabilites, apart the reproductive system. She is growing up like a normal human being and everything. She's the cockiest, maybe even more than Kai. She looks like Kai, but her eyes are purple. Her personality is similar to both of her parents, despite them being kinda the opposite.

Namika Nepote-Smith: she's 14. She controls Water. She's Nya and Mirage's daughter. She also has Nya's surname because Nya wanted so. She looks so much like Nya, when they go to Ignacia, the villagers and her grandparents would tell her how much she reminds them of young Nya. Namika is really proud of this. She loves both her parents equally, she loves when Mirage cooks, he's really good at cooking. He cooks perfect italian dishes. He's better than Zane with Italian dishes. Namika is as determined as her mother and she hates to fail. However, she's not really good with technology, she took it from uncle Kai. When she gets angry, she's the scariest of them all, apart from another oc that I'll show you after this.

Thank you if you've read this far! If you have questions for them, about them or about the au, feel free to ask them!

okay i gotta say something

ive being reading dtr as dan tan ronpa im so sorry bdbdhd please tell me about your ocs and what dtr stands for dbsnsn

djdjgdc ok ok

DTR stands for “Dancing Through Reality” it’s a WIP that (as i imagine it) is an animated show that has a lot of original songs. it’s about alternate realities, universes, and dimensions, all of which are connected via portals. the main characters are:

Jaden, she/her (later she/he), hardened soldier, child of an exiled rebel-turned-queen-turned-tyrant, and OC of Elisa. From the Chromatic universe.

Elisa, she/they, background character of a show, has issues with feeling understood and loved due to literally always being regulated to the background, creator of the Chromatic universe (where Jaden’s from), big fan of the show Hephaestus Smith, specifically Kalani. From The Astronomy Club universe.

Kalani, he/him, robot, villain-turned-dubiously-helpful-hero, flamboyant and egotistical, has Issues (TM) and a Traumatic Backstory (TM). Thinks he’s a much bigger deal than he actually is, ignored/hated/barely tolerated by everyone except Elisa. From the Hephaestus Smith universe.

The main plot kicks off when these three meet from falling into the portals, and decide to work together to get home, and help the people in other universes they stumble into along the way. there’s a few other main characters like the Woodland King (sentient tree, protects the forest of his universe), Sequoia (human form of the Woodland King), Markus (poses as a helpful hero who brings people back to their original universes, is actually a not-so-secret villain), James (Markus’ “sidekick” who is actually being forced to help out Markus, and is doing everything he can to lessen or reverse the damage Markus does), and more, plus a bunch of side characters/one-off characters from the universes visited, including a fairy mafia, a love god, genies, a disco group of personified spirits of fear, the genderqueer leader of a band, and even alternate reality versions of the main characters themselves. The show also focuses on themes of family, home, belonging, pride, forgiveness, blame, self-improvement, choices, and all types of love.

Get caught up on 2017’s college football coaching carousel in just a couple minutes

Just want the updated basics?

College football’s 2017 coaching carousel got off to a hot start, with a Power 5 head coaching job — Ole Miss — opening before the season even began. Three more FBS gigs opened before Halloween, and plenty more are surely on the way.

Below, we’ll keep track of the basics you need to know. Rather than chasing down every single rumor and ending up with a humongous list of soon-to-be-outdated info, these will be curated lists of the stuff that seems most important at the time.

1. The coaching changes that have already happened

2. Coaches likely on some degree of hot seat for this year

We’ll tweak this slightly from week to week. Coaches like BYU’s Kalani Sitake, Illinois’ Lovie Smith, and UNC’s Larry Fedora are probably fine this year, but on hot seat lists heading into 2018.

David Beaty, Kansas

Todd Graham, Arizona State

Brad Lambert, Charlotte

Scottie Montgomery, East Carolina

Kevin Sumlin, Texas A&M (reportedly already gone)

Mark Whipple, UMass

3. Some names to know for specific jobs

A high-level look at everything, with some links to fuller lists. Updated periodically.

Arkansas: Auburn HC Gus Malzahn could choose to leave and return home to the Razorbacks.

Auburn: If Malzahn leaves, expect FSU’s Jimbo Fisher to be high on the list.

Florida: It’s Florida vs. UCLA for Chip Kelly at the moment. Expect Oregon’s Willie Taggart and UCF’s Scott Frost to be next on the list.

Georgia Southern: Anyone who runs the triple option, for starters. Godfrey reports Army offensive coordinator and Georgia native Brent Davis should be high on the list.

Nebraska: Former Huskers QB Scott Frost has taken UCF from 0-12 to a New Year’s Six run in two years, but Nebraska’s also considering the triple option.

Ole Miss: “Ole Miss has interest in Memphis HC Mike Norvell, USF HC Charlie Strong, and Oregon’s Willie Taggart,” Godfrey reports.

Oregon State: Cal OC Beau Baldwin is reportedly the clear favorite.

South Alabama: Expect to see USC OC Tee Martin, a Mobile native, mentioned a lot.

Tennessee: The public’s most talked-about potential option is once again somehow Jon Gruden. Add Mississippi State HC Dan Mullen and Ohio State DC Greg Schiano among potential normal names.

Texas A&M: SMU HC Chad Morris, an alum, has been mentioned here for years. The Aggies are reportedly interested in Dabo Swinney and Jimbo Fisher, which ain’t happening.

Texas Tech: Usually the first name thrown around: TCU assistant Sonny Dykes, a former head coach who’s the son of longtime successful TTU HC Spike Dykes and a major member of Mike Leach’s tree.

UCLA: Chip Kelly’s reportedly taking the job. We’ll add him above once that loses the “reportedly.”

UTEP: Here are a few names. Likely an assistant or FCS coach with Texas and/or Mountain Time Zone ties who can score points.

4. In general:

Pretty much every search, every year, will end up having internet candidate lists like this one.

Someone’s gonna get pranked by flight-tracking info.

Your rival is dumb for using a search firm.

Your rival is also dumb for giving the new guy a gigantic buyout.

Whoever you do hire is gonna say the same stuff as every other new coach.

Also, Houston Nutt is probably interested in the job.

Ole Miss: Hard to say, but lots of nice options for the first Power 5 school with an open job. Frank Wilson, long a legendary Louisiana recruiter, is on pace to lead UTSA to both of its first two bowls ever. Troy’s Neal Brown will likely be mentioned for every Southeastern job.

Oregon State: Washington State DC Alex Grinch’s name stands out on this list. Cal OC Beau Baldwin and Washington OC Jonathan Smith are popular suggestions.

Tennessee: The public’s most talked-about potential options are somehow Jon Gruden, who hasn’t coached in college since he was a low-level assistant in the 1980s and has turned down the Vols three times, and Lane Kiffin, whose previous middle-of-the-night dumping of Tennessee might only be his fourth-worst job exit. We put up an online poll; Gruden won.

Texas A&M: SMU’s Chad Morris, an alum, has been mentioned here for years.

Texas Tech: Usually the first name thrown around: TCU assistant Sonny Dykes, a former head coach who’s the son of longtime successful TTU coach Spike Dykes and a major member of Mike Leach’s tree.

UTEP: Here are a few names. Likely an assistant or FCS coach with Texas and/or Mountain Time Zone ties who can score points.

4. In general:

Pretty much every search, every year, will end up having internet candidate lists like this one.

Someone’s gonna get pranked by flight-tracking info.

Your rival is dumb for using a search firm.

Your rival is also dumb for giving the new guy a gigantic buyout.

Whoever you do hire is gonna say the same stuff as every other new coach.

Also, Houston Nutt is probably interested in the job.
