Background (FINALLY!!)

This is everything you need to know about the AU I write from... took me a while but here it is

My Alternate Universe follows a similar timeline to the 2014/16 movies but unlike that it differs in many ways, the turtles are a bit older and differ in age –this is due to having to replace subjects due to one or all passing from not being able to survive the shots they were given, work side by side with the cops after the Krangg invasion, they have a baby sister who they not only saved but was raised alongside them by Master Splinter

v Before anyone points it out the AU does have several different story timelines it follows – Raven was saved by Raph in one having found her alone in the sewers, in another he snuck up to the surface without permission and stumbled across the scene where two people were being harassed by the Foot in the end the little girl watches the men murder her mother as the young turtle tries to stop it… then there is one where the turtles never find the little girl and instead she grows up on the streets where she’s homeless and hunted by not only the Foot but also the Purple Dragons, in this timeline Raven saves Raphael from freezing to death after he’s hurt in a fight

v I do tend to write poly relationships/one on one relationships

v The OC Raven was originally from a book I was writing back in High School – in it she is a mutant who can absorb abilities (Like Rouge only the ability becomes hers making her dangerous to everyone around her) as a child she absorbed her guardian angel and the she fox who killed her making her the embodiment of something similar to the ying yang – beautifully innocent yet deadly, after that she is forced to carry a demon within her that tends to take over from time to time, so I did mutate her in one of my series where Sacks scientist actually force fox DNA into her with the mutagen and since in the AU the teenager has the DNA of a small species of turtle it mixes bad becoming unstable and creates a monster she struggles to control (Same as in the book)

Enemies include: Shredder and the Foot clan, General Krangg, Hun and the Purple Dragon’s

The turtles have several allies other than April O’Neal, Vern, and Casey Jones, this world also includes Leatherhead who lives off in a substation close to where their original lair existed down by the docks (So far they have had four homes in their lives), they also have a few other human allies which includes a blind man that runs a thrift store with his wife and daughter where the family get most of their newer cloths Raven fixes for them, a girl who works at a pizza shop and Chinese restaurant that coexist in the same building who gives them the leftovers they are going to throw out, and a few homeless people who stay near where their bridge exit – not including the NYPD

Leatherhead met the turtles when they rescued him from a lab the Foot were operating out of, the massive croc has a uncontrollable rage point that erupts without warning and much like the turtles he doesn’t trust humans, they found him a home where he could be safe and no human’s would be able to get near his home on the other side of the abandoned tunnels never thinking a human would actually go there willingly – also forgetting a certain teenage girl happened to go hang out in those tunnels from time to time

The first time Raven runs into the croc she is wondering around and steps into his lair without knowing she was in danger

Giving she’s never feared her family she doesn’t move a muscle when what she originally thought was Raphael turned out to be a giant mutant crocodile man, she attempts to calm him before he attacks her - she gets hurt trying to outrun him knowing the sewers far better than him she slips away by taking a tunnel only to slam right into the mutant once again just as one of her brother’s comes to rescue her having heard the screams

The turtles had mentioned they had a little sister but had never thought the two would meet but after she had apologized for trespassing in his home the two somehow became the best of friends

Leatherhead having been raised in the labs is incredibly smart and enjoys spending time in Donatello’s lab while visiting his friends if he’s not hanging out with Mikey or being spoiled by Raven who makes him tons of food while he is there

Although the croc his bigger then the turtles he his only a few years older then the teen girl

The first lair was down a few miles from the docks where the turtles and Splinter lived until they were old enough to move without the rat having to carry them, the second lair (Lair we see in the first movie) was destroyed by the foot and Shredder, the third was a station that was long forgotten where they stayed for a year before finding their current home where they have been for five years

This Lair is massive having three levels underground and an above ground Garage where they keep their vehicles so they don’t disturb their father while working on them or heading out late at night.

The main parts of the lair are all in one large room decorated like an underground amusement park equipped with a water slide with smaller rooms built up off to the sides including the huge kitchen, a dojo, a weight room, the lab and needle room reside off to the back where they have a TV room and a rear exit, Splinter’s garden room that connects to his bedroom, and a small bathroom right under the stairs.

Each of the turtles have their own room set up the way they like upstairs of the home overlooking the den and dining area, a separate set of stairs goes to an underground area where there is a pool and basking area for hot summer days and showers in a separate area set up like a locker room

The ages of the turtles vary depending on when I’m writing so per usual I try to write them when they were teens but most storied are going in their early twenties. Ages for the turtles range in stories from 10, 12, 15, (18 – 26 ç the most) and as always Leo is oldest followed by Raph, then Donnie, and Mikey is the baby of the brothers

Leonardo – The oldest

Leonardo was the only baby turtle from the original first four to survive the mutagen shots where as his sisters from the clutch never hatched

As a toddler this sweet boy clung to Splinter just as much as his baby brother and was the first to show his true personality

The blue banded ninja is the same loveable yet anal older brother we all adore, but he is much stricter than most people are used too and tends to sound extremely cold even if he doesn’t mean too at times/he can come off as a jerk which he tries to avoid.

As the oldest and the leader of the clan he carried a lot on his shoulders even if his younger siblings try to help him he’s not too keen on letting them

He was the first of his brother’s to be allowed to go with Splinter on junk runs since he was very obedient to his father’s orders even if he had a small tendency to goof off from time to time

He tends to argue with Raphael over everything from why he’s leader to why the hotheaded turtle can’t go out to the surface most days, he leads the team in practice and training daily, spends a good portion of his days training, improving his katas, and meditating

He tries to loosen up from time to time so he’s not always the serious turtle that constantly has a perpetual stick up his ass, on those days he plays video games with Mikey or works out with Raph getting into competitions with his brother that he tends to lose at, sometimes if Donnie has a lot on his plate he will go and help with smaller projects

Leo can’t cook even though he tries to much to his siblings dismay, he is skilled in sewing, loves to read and tends to try new things to see if he likes them every other month

Raphael – Second oldest

Raphael was the only surviving hatchling from the next clutch of eggs due to the others fell ill and died within the first two months due to poor diets, he was left in his tank alone and fell ill of a broken heart shortly after his brothers and sister died, looking as if he would pass too April O’Neal placed him in with the older baby turtle hoping he would be comforted if he did perish – instead Raphael got better and when he took to Leonardo the scientist kept him in the tank to be sure he wouldn’t fall sick again.

Do to the trauma of losing his siblings early on the turtle became protective of Leo, Donnie, and Mikey once they were in the tank not allowing anyone except April and her father to pick them up

As a rambunctious toddler Raphael was the more curious wonderer so Splinter had to find a playpen to keep him and Donnie in so they didn’t run off until he found a heating lamp then the rowdy tot was never far from it always basking if he wasn’t playing

As the biggest turtle he comes off as intimidating and has the temper and attitude to back it up but around his family he is more laid back. As the second oldest he butts heads with his brothers – mostly Leonardo several times a day due to they are both alphas and only a few months apart in age – but it’s more to just keep the leader on his toes then to be an ass

Raphael spends a good portion of his day lifting his weights, breaking his punching bag, making repairs around the lair, working in the garage, or wondering around the sewers if he’s not in his room or screwing with Leo

Raphael is actually the one who saved Raven when he was only ten bringing her home and caring for the girl while she was weak

The red masked turtle is quite the handy man so it takes a lot off what Don has to do in the lair when it comes to furniture being broken or having to repair pipes other than the electronics from time to time, he also enjoys working in the garage on his motorcycle when he needs some alone time… this tends to happen more than ever when you have three brothers that piss you off on a regular bases

At night if the brother’s don’t go out for patrol or have an easy night he sneaks out to meet Casey to ride bikes and patrol the city

v And yes because I’m a sucker for it he does dress up as Nightwatcher without his family knowing to go out and fight crime, I had to give the hothead a motorcycle for him to ride but in actuality he had 2-3 he works on

He tries to not show it but he’s very protective of his family and cares for his brothers a lot , especially his two younger siblings, and as mean and off putting as he tried to come off he’s still a giant teddy bear with a really big heart that comforts the others when needed

Raphael loves knitting, carving little wooden figures, and cooking. He has his own play system in his room with his own TV but Mikey doesn’t mind him playing him on the one in the den if he’s not pumping weights

Donatello – Third Oldest

Donnie was actually the only egg to be brought in for the next test probably because it was the only one they could find so late in the season, he was perfectly healthy to their surprise.

When placed in the tank with Leo and Raph he didn’t take to them right away tending to stay far away from the two other males who were inseparable but given time Raph wouldn’t leave him alone and started dragging him around the cage by his carapace when he would retract into his shell to hide from them taking him to the food where the other two stayed sitting there with the turtle until he came out to eat, afterwards the third turtle was never far from the others

Even at these ages he showed higher than normal intelligence able to find ways to escape their tanks

By the time he was a toddler he was already interested in things having created their first toy from scrap parts until they had a car that drove around the home on its own it acted at a motivation in getting his baby brother to crawl as he chased it

Our sweet purple banded genius is still a genius so I didn’t change him by much

Donnie spends every waking hour in his lab if he’s not training, having to fix the security systems that surround their liar, or repairing the things his brothers break every other day, he also has three areas inside their home that belong to him

The Lab, his computer station, and his room

He’s a coffee addict so Leonardo and Master Splinter have set a limit on his caffeine intake although being Donnie he has his own coffee pot hidden in the lab so he still drinks more then he’s supposed to, his siblings constantly have to pull him from the lab to eat if they don’t just bring his food to him otherwise he would forget completely

The genius and his family built onto their home over the years so because of that each of the turtles now have their own rooms and a portion of the lair that belongs to them separately

Donatello created the lair from top to bottom making all their electronics, appliances, ect. So he tends to joke when Leo tries to boss him around

Michelangelo – Youngest

Mikey sadly was the only egg in his clutch of ten to survive but was born sick due to he had a twin that had died in the egg while inside with him, because he was the only egg to survive in over a year they cared for him round the clock until he was well enough to be placed in the tank with the other three turtles even though he was too small to fend for himself but never had too.

It was instant that the other three became protective of the tiny turtle caring for him

Because he was so tiny he liked to ride around on his brother’s shells while they wondered around the tank of hide under them while they were standing

The scientist had a hard time getting the smallest turtle away from his brothers since they were always huddled around him, Raphael and Leonardo brought the youngest two plenty of food before they would eat while Donatello would lie beside him protectively until the older two were back from their bowl

It was because of how territorial the older three were that they were all placed in separate tanks that sat side by side in a square so they could all see one another allowed to be in the same tank while April was in the lab playing with them

Michelangelo is our little prankster/skater boy

This loveable little turtle is just as we have always seen him - he can be the biggest pain in Raphael’s butt wreaking Donnie’s lab like a tornado joking off in the dojo while Leo’s trying to continue training but still somehow being that innocent angel in his father’s eyes all in the same ten minutes

Because of how small he was when he hatched Mikey is smaller than his brothers – this is more of his size then age but it makes it easy to see he’s the baby brother in all aspects

When he’s not messing with his brothers or getting one somebody’s nerves Mikey spends a good portion of his time either playing video games, reading his comics, or tagging the lair with his art while nobody’s paying him any mind – he has even done a wall in each of his siblings rooms in honor of something he loves about them making a memorial for each room

When it comes that time of year the orange banded turtle is the one to start the parties, planning the biggest bashes with the help of their sister they never fail to impress weather it’s a birthday party of Christmas

Mikey has the potential to be better than his older brothers, he’s much faster, skilled, and the shortness comes in handy he’s too laid back to really try

Raven – the baby

She’s a curvy yet slim beauty with pale porcelain skin, long black curly locks she wears in a bun of ponytail at all times, and emerald green eyes, she’s only 5’6 so she’s constantly teased for being short by her brothers, the young girl hasn’t always been with the mutant family

She was abandoned in the sewers when she was very young and somehow survived on her own for months before stumbling upon Raphael while he was out blowing off steam after a fight with Leonardo, she followed the turtle from a distance curious about him until he realizes she’s there. She hides in a tunnel when he turns but doesn’t try to run from him when he came to investigate only to find a sick and thin form

He rushes her to Donatello who had recently started learning everything he can from several medical books after finishing the physics and the thesaurus collections Master Splinter has found him while scavenging threw a junk yard or walking past a dumpster. She’s really sick and they all expect her to never make it but a few days later she’s just as active as any normal child would even though she’s still ill

It was guessed Raph had to have been the only person she had seen in a long time but for a child she looks at them as if they are no different from the tiny human girl and the longer they are around the child the more they learn about the strange child their brother brought home

At first glance the girl seems like any normal kid – curious about everything she sees and gets into, she loves to watch them while they play games or sits close by while they are watching movies, after a while she goes to them sitting in their laps as they read or watch cartoons… Then come the day they find she is far from normal

Raven hates enclosed or tiny spaces unless she finds one she likes, has major abandonment issues, and more surprising to the family the girl hates humans more than her fear of snakes

By the age of five Splinter lets her join in with the turtles in their practices but doesn’t start fully training her until she is twelve when he comes home from a walk to sees her playing with a broom stick like it was a bo or a sword sparring with her brothers as they practice their team attacks, he stays back watching the girl holding her own against the turtles who at that time were teenagers – seeing the potential she has he started her training pushing her just as hard as he does his sons

Hope everyone finds this informative and enjoyed it
