Countdown AU - Masterpost

Okay, there is a lot going on in my brain about this au, but I'm going to start this with a character round-off for the sake of it.

I’m alternating between calling this AU Five, Four, Three, Two, One and just simply the Countdown AU but if I do make a fic it’s going to be under the longer title.

Five/V/Venus

   - I’m using the name Venus because once I thought of the idea I couldn’t get it out of my head, but she can be seen as just an OC if you so please.

     - Also I haven’t really seen much of her yet so it’s hard to get it accurate.

   - Created ~2 years before the boys

     - Her mutation was sort of a failure, old residual DNA also rubbed off on her resulting in a frog/turtle/human hybrid

     - ? Considering that maybe she got her human DNA from another TMNT character we’ve heard of before like maybe Rise’s version of Tang Shen? Idk that might be cool but not for certain.

   - Big Mama found her, discarded, outside of Drax’s lab and thought that a turtle would be a great warrior and or staff member, with their tough shells. Took a few months for her to even discover the frog part, and took years to figure out she wasn’t a real yokai, by then though Venus was already a hard-working employee

     - Raised Venus genderless, but she chose to be a woman and would not take no for an answer

   - Has no loyalties to anyone

     - Literally just goes with whoever wins her over

     - She knows Big Mama is bad, but she doesn’t really want to be stuck with the boys just because they’re the only other turtle mutants, and anyways she gets paid and gets into the coolest fighting match ever for free.

     - The first of the boys she met was Leo, but her bestie is Donnie (will expand on more in a bit)

   - Has experimented on herself

     - Usually does this in a bad mental state

     - You pick up a few things when you’re a guard for one of the most fortified buildings ever, there’s not much else to do.

       - Who doesn’t know anything about experimenting on living organisms, anyways? It’s entertaining! Especially when you do it to yourself, you can find out so much, like how you’re part frog!

     - Tried to give herself built-in binoculars after accidentally taking something

       - The result was just weird pupil movement; kind of looks like a camera zooming in and out when her pupils dilate

   - Was hired by The Boss (villain of this story, we’ll get to him later) to work security, but spends most of her free time in the laboratory.

   - Loves blasting music with a lot of anger in it, or at least that’s how she describes it

     - Panic at the Disco SUMMONS HER

     - Is okay with lo-fi

       - Chill rap, though? EW EW EW SHUT IT OFF

   - Splints once tried to call her Aqua

   - Do not call her Aqua.

Orange

   - Yes, before you even ask, this is Mikey. Duh.

   - Before we begin, general headcanon/s

     - Has black versions of everyone’s masks which he embroidered in their colours.  

       - Also embroidered a scarf for Raph

         - It’s Raph’s fav scarf; he wears it everywhere

   - Exclusively goes by Orange. 

     - Is okay with being given a one-time/joking nickname.

     - Doesn’t want someone to think of him with only the name Four or Mikey, he specifically likes Orange the best.

   - The most stable turtle of this AU, relatively speaking.

     - None of them are fully stable, but he’s at least the highest on the leaderboards, even if Venus gives him a run for his money

     - I wouldn’t call him the leader but he is definitely the one in charge

   - The Boss can’t break him, so nobody can :)

     - Well, The Boss did break him, but not all the way so it doesn’t count.

     - He did have to pretend The Boss got to him for a while tho, it was painstakingly boring for him in that mental state, however.

   - Has essentially fortified the old lair into something akin to it’s former glory, so he and April and Casey and anyone else that’s around generally stay there.

   - Owns three different cloaking brooches for different purposes. 

     - The first one is for emergency scenarios, like the one The Boss put him in. It hides his ornate markings, making him look like any old box shell.

       - There’s velcro on it that attaches to the inside of his shell so that he can have it on without anyone seeing it.

     - The second one covers up all of his scars, he wears that one pretty constantly. Hated when The Boss took it away.

     - The third one is the traditional cloaking brooch, makes him look human.

   - Three’s sanity.

   - Scared of One

Three

   - Three is this au’s version of Leo

     - From Three’s perspective, he is not this au’s version of Leo :D

   - Before we begin, general headcanon/s for Leon.

     - Leon isn’t exactly tech smart or bio smart like donnie, but he’s a great lab partner and particularly enjoys participating in group stimming when something works

   - The Boss completely broke him.

   - The only place where he really acts like Leo from ‘before’ is in the laboratory.

     - He likes to try and hack into the boss’s systems while talking to himself, because in his brain he’s actually talking to Purple (he doesn’t know who Purple is, but he knows that Purple is and that’s all he needs) and sometimes even writes purple’s replies on his arms in sharpies

       - His dynamic with the imaginary Purple is similar to his dynamic with real Donnie in their lab thus bringing out what’s left of Leo.

         - Okay for a quick explanation, Leo remembers practically nothing but he remembers that he had a lab friend named Purple. That’s basically all he remembers of Donnie, the Purple voice in his head has some similar traits but it’s not really like him.

   - He completely believes that he is not Leo and that Leo is a separate entity that tragically passed away. 

     - He will answer to Leo unconsciously, but when the name is said while he is paying attention he will not respond.

       - Ofc, this bothers Orange, who refuses to be reduced to just a number.

         - Orange’s solution to this is to call him Lee, which sounds enough like Three that he doesn’t notice.

   - He frequently looses his train of thought

     - Forgets words, looses interest, zones out randomly, the works. 

       - This comes from all of his missing memories, there are a lot, sometimes things just completely escape him because the memory is buried further than he looks.

   - Kinda part of the last one; frequently forgets how to say a lot of words. Like they are spelt and laid out for him clearly in his head, but they don’t escape him right.

     - this is even worse for names. He usually addresses or mentions Venus as V (like the roman numeral) or Five, but sometimes he’ll struggle with it and start insistently repeating ‘planet two’

   - Wears a plain black mask. He thinks it’s the embroidered one, even though it isn’t.

   - Unconsciously slides out his third eyelid.

     - If you see his pupils, run.

       - Unless he’s just rly happy. But that’s very rare.

   - Scared of One

   - Okay now that I think about it he does remind me of cupcakeslushie’s separated au Donnie a little bit -- they even have the same name -- but I swear that’s NOT IT

Two/Purple/Donnie

   - Do I even need to state who this one is? I think we got it.

   - The Boss broke him (slightly), so now he plans on breaking The Boss.

   - Runs the lab that Venus spends her free time in. She’s his new lab assistant and they are planning an experiment called Project P that I’m going to 🤐 up for now.

     - Keep note of Project P tho, it’s important.

   - He doesn’t have his memories but knows that he needs to be somewhere that’s not run by The Boss, and that’s all he needs to get his gears turning. 

   - Venus may not be a perfect scientist, by any means, but there is no such thing as a perfect scientist anyways and Donnie still forgets things sometimes and so...

     - They play Panic at the Disco and like,,, Hamilton while they work. besties fr

   - Doesn’t have his goggles

     - Instead, he’s got a black thingy that wraps around the back of his head and lights up in various spots depending on the types of noises he’s hearing and/or energy input depending on the setting

       - Looks like the donnie-tech version of the thing on the back of Echo (from Bad Batch)’s head, for reference

   - Struggles with frequent flashes of memory

     - and headaches. from both the flashes and sleep deprivation

   - The person he can remember the most of is Leon. They’re twins, they have twin telepathy and the ninpo to help fill in some of those gaps.

     - Surprisingly, the second person he remembers the most of is Draxum, for some unknown reason.

     - He remembers about the same amount about the rest of his siblings, papa, and the rest of his family. Blurry, but there.

     - Completely forgot Casey Jr, sorry not sorry ✌

   - Still has his original purple mask, but doesn’t wear it very often, too sweaty. V had a very “smart” idea at like 4 in the morning and drew the eyebrows directly onto Donnie’s face, and he decided he liked them lol

   - Is the only one who can still remember One as their brother, however faintly. 

   - Hoo baby, if Dee struggled with emotions before--

One

   - friend of mine summarized this au’s version of raph as winter soldier raph and that literally describes him perfectly.

   - simular to savage raph, when surrounded by his old family for long periods of time, one will begin to revert

     - unlike savage, this results in him screaming “ONE IS NO TRAITOR” and becoming even more violent then he already was

   - sword wielder. knows how to use sai and tonfa, ofc, but knows how to use a wide variety of different blades

   - basically he’s a trained weapon and soldier and follows order and--

     - I LIKE BRAINWASHING OKAY

   - Three and Four are scared of him. 

     - Four isn’t exactly sure why.

     - Three thinks that one killed Raph and Leo, and doesn’t want to be next.

     - This is due to memories of the Kraang and Savage Raph, but since The Boss tampered with them they don’t really remember that. 

PT. 2: The Boss

   - The Boss is, unsurprisingly, the boss.

   - The Boss is either Bishop or an OC, unsure at this point.

   - One of the earliest test subjects of Draxum, all this gave him was trauma, slightly better vision, and a lot of scars.

     - Most noteably of which was the scrap of metal that was burned into his arm in an explosion

       - Gee I wonder what explosion that was

   - When The Boss discovered the existence of V and the brothers, he thought that the mutant army idea sounded pretty enticing. 

     - But, of course, he’d need to mind wipe them first.

BREAKING NEWS: local fish guy is in da wata!!

[fkitwebhaal]

The first time Gortash meets the Chosen one of Bhaal, he asks for their name.

No one calls them by their name in their temple, instead sticking to “Chosen” or “Herald.” The Chosen of Bhaal looks at him like he said something funny and responds.

“Pick one.”

So Gortash does. And thus begins a pattern.

Are they going on a stealth mission and need an alter ego? Gortash pick a name.

What should Gortash’s guards call them when they visit through the front entrance? “Pick a name , Enver, it’s not like I go through the front door anyway.”

What name should he give to a comrade who could use an assassin on hire? “Think of something clever, you always do.”

It’s not that the Chosen of Bhaal doesn’t have a name, he learns. They did once. But then their father called them to his service and “a surgeon doesn’t name their knife” and well, a steady name seemed kind of pointless. Titles worked just fine and well, an assassin benefits from having quite a few alter egos. Until Gortash, they really didn’t talk to anyone enough outside the Temple for a name to even be needed.

It’s a fucked up dynamic, really. Gortash can have the illusion of control over this Bhalspawn with the names , but its control that’s given freely. They are something he wants to control but never truly can. He is something they should destroy but don’t desire to.

Much later, the Former Chosen of Bhaal walks into Gortash’s coronation. He grins, and asks them “what name should I call you this time friend?”

When they respond with an actual name, he almost can’t hide his surprise.

[shawolsos]

Ramking is that thing where you're reading a really good fic, and the most recent chapter ended on a cliffhanger. It's all good, though, because the fic is unfinished, so you just have to wait for an update, but then you check the dates and realise that the fic has not been updated for five years and now you're left in the dust knowing that this thing has been left to rot and you're just gonna have to make peace with the cliffhanger. Except it's slightly worse because it's not just a fic, it's the actual canon material.

[awwthenticc]

Uhhh... What do you MEAN that I'm taking headcannons from other fanartists?

.... Sorry, you're right. @yourlocalabomination's "Taking whats not yours" - Jennybear post made me sooo normal. So uh........

COLLEGE!JENNYBEAR! BUT THEY ARE STUPID WITH BAGGY PANTS CAUSE. ITS THE 2000'S, and I was born in 2006 and all i remember wearing then was pink leggings and a sparkly shirt- as wal mart might have. you know you know.. AND I HAVE NO SENSE IN FASHION, BUT these radical, nerdy, edible taking sweethearts are special to me.

And you cant tell me that ted never put on a fake. Like... Personality to seem SOOOO much cooler than he actually was. He was impressing no-one from left to right. And looked like such a loser but Jenny always was like. "Oh, yeah. You looked SO cool Dwdw." and ted knows shes just joking around, but hes still like "ikr B)"

Anyways, jenny gets rollerskates, ted gets a skateboard, and they have matching piercings, and jenny has a necklace and she paints their nails, but ted totally pickes at it subconsciously, and jenny tried taking him rollerskating once, and he was good at it. But when he got older he totally forgot how, and if he tries skating, he'd look like a cool. And I think that's a good thing, cause jenny would love to see him fall and try again.

And I think about them alot............

[neopronoun-user-culture-is]

Neopronouns culture is consantly having people ask what Xe/Xem is and than going into a ramble that the first Neo that was used in 1789, and that the first neos where Thon witch was a mix of the words that and one!

And then just have the People go “well it’s not valid”

Neopronoun user culture
