#2 - Raphael Hamato

WE'RE ON A ROLL!!! i should really do something productive but i'm just having so much fun drawing these refs xD plus, it feels good to be able to draw so much and finally actually LIKE what i draw x)) i will say his hair is a tad ugly cause i can't draw it very well, but i do love my red boy.

just the characterization text:

he/him, heterosexual, japanese/utrom

nicknames: raph, raphie (if you want him to kill you)

mutation date: sep 28, 1996

assertive

dislikes being controlled, wants to make his own decisions; fights for what he wants until he hits his limit

will also stick up for others when they’re too afraid to assert themselves, can be surprisingly supportive

free-spirited

questions those in control (ex. leo’s leadership) enjoys solitude as he can freely do as he pleases

not concerned about external judgement, wants to be himself, explore and try new things

seeks peace with himself; gets defensive after making mistakes, but will always try to make up for it eventually to feel at peace again

emotional

feels emotions deeply and intensely, but tends to mask negative ones like fear and sadness with anger

easily overwhelmed by emotions, causing him to act recklessly or hurt others’ feelings

huge soft spot for animals (except insects)

can be very understanding, also socially observant and can put himself in other peoples’ shoes without physically feeling what they feel

pretty good at giving social advice

extra details for when there’s less action:

ambivert, loves his time alone but does like to hang out with others and meet new people

tough love, gives brutally honest advice but can also be very gentle if he’s comfortable with you

likes to spray and skateboard, often with mikey

loves heavy metal, punk and just noisy music, probably a pretty good singer in secret heh

oops forgot this was a place

Hi, Weenie :D

#1 - Leonardo Hamato

here's a reference for TMV leo!!! x)) i love how this turned out, i'm so excited to do the rest of these guys! silly billies. also, the "fearless leader leonardo!" text is in his handwriting. too bad we didn't see many characters' handwritings in the show, so i made my own for most of the squad.

just the characterization text:

he/they, bisexual, japanese/utrom, autistic

nicknames: leo, cap (from captain ryan)

mutation date: sep 28, 1996

responsible

disciplined; “work first, play later”

wants to lead others to be responsible like him; likes following values, especially ones shared with splinter

believes tested-and-true methods are the best, dislikes when people question them or force unfamiliar methods

idealistic

strives to be like his idols (ex. his dad, captain ryan); wants to be heroic and do good like them

holds himself and others to high expectations

failure makes him spiral, trying to find the reason; often blames others before fully blaming himself often sees what he WANTS to see in people (ex. “donnie’s smart, he knows everything.” “karai’s trustworthy, even if she’s with the foot.”)

optimistic; even in dire situations, hopes for a sudden “miraculous turn of events” until the very end

intuitive

most spiritual of his brothers; trusts in meditation, reflection and “the right mindset” to give strength

trusts in his gut feeling and moral compass

attentive to others’ quirks, needs and feelings; when close, picks up on even small demeanor changes

extra details for when there’s less action:

ambivert, quite charismatic even if his humor is corny (he loves puns)

good listener, great person to go to if you need emotional support

loves collecting vintage stuff, finding obscure media (and infodumping about it)

LOVES japanese city pop; also enjoys indie rock, especially calmer songs with stories behind them

Boys' refs

I can finally fit April's design with dreads into my au. I still couldn’t find a convenient opportunity to do this and FINALLYYYYY

oh and I finally found something to dress the boys in, maybe I’ll update their refs later

OH AND I'LL ALSO MAKE A POLL ON WHO SPLINTER WILL BE
