Make twxt small slay

Basically a good end to a bad end. The Kraang succeeded in wiping out earth and all it peeps and for a good while they stayed on earth demolishing it to what they thought was beyond saving!

They left to take over other worlds and left earth to rot but as nature is stubborn the earth *wink wink* gave itself a lil rebirth. All homies peeps taken out centuries ago were reborn *WINK WONK* in one way or another. Raph’s kind of like a doctor, Mikey’s a shit, Donnie’s still an inventor with issues. April and Cassandra are wolves anddddd Casey Jr is in a loop of living and dying every 16 years :D

Got Yuichi and an oc in this too. Now I’m all embarrassed look at that

THATS THE BEST I GOT UHHH ALL STARTED CAUSE I had a bad future comic that THIS AU kinda references a bit BUT YA DONT GOTTA LOOK FOR IT

[ENG] Mukanshu Character Guide

A quick guide to the main cast that appears in the story. 

Mostly for my own reference, but I figured it may be helpful.

Most information taken from the JP gamerch page

*I’ve partially translated the profiles, up until the points that concern the main storyline.

*Information on their source material is largely gathered from wikipedia and some quick google searches, not any sort of deep academic research on my part. Please correct me if I’ve misinterpreted anything.

Name: Ryoku (緑）lit. Green

JP CV: Kobayashi Yusuke (小林裕介)

CN CV: Ma Yufei (马语非)

Illustrator: sairin (再臨)

Source:  Legend of the Condor Heroes: a weapon used by the Beggar’s Sect in conjunction with the 打狗棒(lit. Striking the Dog with a Stick) style of martial arts/swordplay. This style of fighting was developed through generations who started out having to fight off stray dogs with a bamboo stick while begging in the streets, thus the name.  

Profile: The “Striking the Dog with a Stick” style of swordplay has been honed throughout the generations, passed down through the leader’s of the Beggar’s Sect, originating with the use of bamboo sticks such as Ryoku. He’s the type who always puts his friends first, and enjoys helping others simply because it’s the right thing to do. His goal is to try all sorts of gourmet foods during his lifetime-- yet, at the same time, his favorite food remains the Beggar’s Chicken(1). Although he may seem a bit shabby and overly-chatty at first glance, he is surprisingly dependable when the situation demands it. He comes across as openhearted and absentminded, but there is a hidden layer of prudence there as well.

(1):Beggar’s Chicken: see here for the origin story of this chicken dish.

Name: Kinrei (金鈴) lit. Golden Bell

JP CV: Miyata Kouki (宮田幸季)

CN CV: Su Shangqing (苏尚卿)

Illustrator: sairin (再臨)

Source: Return of the Condor Heroes : a weapon used by the heroine Xiaolongnu. The gold bells are strung on a sash and are used to both distract enemies and then stun them by hitting acupressure points.

Profile: A treasure enshrined within an ancient tomb; after living within the tomb for so long he has become alienated from worldly affairs.  He is emotionally detached, dislikes conflict, and would prefer to be alone. Occasionally he shows a side of himself that is innocent and naive.  Although he feigns disinterest, he is actually quite interested in his comrades but is bad at socializing. He is better at socializing with animals than people. He has a certain kinship with cats, and easily grows attached to them.

Name: Iten (倚天) lit. Heavenly Sword

JP CV: Nakamura Yuichi (中村悠一)

CN CV: Zhao Ling (赵岭)

Illustrator: 毛団小剣剣

Source: The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: one of the two titular weapons. In the original work, Iten and Toryuu were both forged from one original sword, the Heavy Iron Sword.

Profile:  “The powerful and honorable weapon:Dragon Saber; It can slay the Dragon. If the Heaven Sword does not appear, what weapon can go against the saber effectively?” Iten is placed in the same class of treasured sword as Toryuu, although they aren’t seen together much. Atop Mt. Emei, he pursued the Path of the Tao through diligent, isolated sword training; high reaching pines and cypresses lined the steep mountain path to that summit, awash in a great sea of clouds; any who came seeking him out would be obstructed. There have been no visitors to his residence. It is rumored that he has embraced solitude, fervently seeking the apex of swordsmanship and that his mastery of the deepest levels of swordcraft can make opponents quiver before he even unsheathes his sword.

Note: Iten’s profile is......................waxing poetic with whole strings of kanji. I’m gonna beat him up for making me read all that.

Name: Toryuu  lit. Dragon Slayer

JP CV: Ono Yuki (小野友樹)

CN CV: Wu Lei (吴磊)

Illustrator:毛団小剣剣

Source: The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: one of the two titular weapons. In the original work, Iten and Toryuu were both forged from one original sword, the Heavy Iron Sword.

Profile:  “The powerful and honorable weapon:Dragon Saber; It can slay the Dragon. Use it to command the world. Who dares to disobey orders?”   Named as one of the Legendary weapons, his power is rivaled only by Iten. A supremely powerful sword that has traversed far and wide over many decades, he harbors a greatly concealed secret.  He loves to drink alcohol, and seems gives off an air of arrogance; due to his fame, his freedom has been constrained, so there is a side to him that enjoys tempting fate. In his eyes, being deemed a worthy adversary is the highest form of praise. After challenging the world’s strongest sword to a battle, he purportedly vanished.  It is rumored that he was seen at the Northern Sea of the Island of Ice and Fire.

Name: Seika (聖火) lit. Holy Flame

JP CV: Umehara Yuichiro (梅原裕一郎)

CN CV: Li Longbin (李龙滨)

Illustrator: sairin (再臨)

Source:  The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: one of the Ming Cult’s treasured artefacts and source of martial arts styles: the Holy Flame Tablets. The Ming Cult resides in the Kunlun Mountains.

Profile：A divine artifact passed down through generations of religious leaders of Manichaeism (1).He exudes a princely aura, as his every action is tinged with foreign flair.He cannot forget the glorious days of the past, however he is no longer interested in seeking power and authority. To him, those bygone days are but a distant memory. He always pretends to not understand the Central Plain’s dialect (2), but the truth is that he’s quite well versed in Central Plain culture. He treats people kindly and has overflowing charisma. Despite this, his true intentions are difficult to grasp.

(2) Central Plain: a major region of China, regarded as a historical epicenter of Han culture.

Name: Seikou (青光) lit. Blue Light

JP CV: Nakai Kazuya (中井和哉)

CN CV: Peng Yu (彭尧)

Illustrator: sairin (再臨)

Source: Return of the Condor Heroes  and The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: one of the undefeated swordsmans Dugu Qiubai’s famous swords.

Profile:

An all-conquering sword, who defeated the heroes of the Northern Plains.(1) He’s arrogant, to the point that all others are of no concern to him. A righteous man who believes the world to be brimming with injustices. It is said that: “Heaven and Earth are not ‘humane’ for myriad creatures are taken as straw dogs;wise men are not ‘humane’, too: all people are taken as straw dogs to sacrifice”.(2) He cannot stand the notion of “survival of the fittest”(3) and vows to purge the world of such grievances and rebuild the rules of this world.

(1)Another reference to the script on Dugu Qiubai’s tomb.

(2) This is a quote from the famed text by Laozi, Tao Te Ching. This quote is best explained here: 

 “Heaven and Earth are not partial. They do not kill living things out of cruelty or give them birth out of kindness. We do the same when we make straw dogs to use in sacrifices. We dress them up and put them on the altar, but not because we love them. And when the ceremony is over, we throw them into the street, but not because we hate them.”

(3) 弱肉強食: from an idiom that reads “the weak are the meat that the strong eat”.
