And, incorporating Silverstein's concept of NYC as a den of organized criminality and corruption, I want both the Purple Dragons and the Foot Clan to be part of the problem. Of course, the solution involves a couple of turtles who were taught ninjutsu by their master/father. As far as backstory, it remains largely the same as every interpretation: Hamato Yoshi gets exposed to a canister of "ooze" and mutates into a humanoid rat. Four turtles are also exposed, and he takes them in under his watch, calling himself Master Splinter. And in a world that would soon treat them as monsters, they are forced to take refuge in the sewer system of the city. Fifteen years later, the turtles still long to live among humans their age despite Splinter's rhetoric. While on the surface, inspiring investigative reporter April O'Neil has secured an internship at the Daily Bugle under the guidance of Pulitzer Prize winner Robbie Robertson. Casey Jones, a star hockey player at his high school, dons his goalie mask to protect his neighborhood from the encroaching Purple Dragons as a vigilante. And Keno Andrada struggles to balance maintaining good grades with working at a pizzeria as the world around him rapidly deteriorates. And that's the gist. I would like to introduce Agent Bishop if I manage to complete my initial arc and slowly bring in the sci-fi element known in the TMNTverse.[/indent][/COLOR] [INDENT][sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )[/color] [color=C5E44B]P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][/INDENT][sup]__________________________________________________________________________________[/sup] [COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT][s]I like turtles.[/s] As stated before, the starting arc will lean towards street level with a slice of life element as the turtles venture into the surface, do vigilante stuff on the side, and eat pizza on random rooftops after an eventful night. There will be hints of the sci-fi aspect, but it won't be the main focus of this arc. And I will also write about the human characters who will eventually meet the turtles, either by complete accident. I would like to get in touch with Silverstein to see how the Foot and Purple Dragons would fit into the overall situation in New York City. But besides that, I envision that the gang has a heavy presence in the East Village and Lower East Side. While the clan would already be known in the underworld as feared and ruthless assassins across East Asia long before they established a foothold in the United States. It would also be interesting to see what the relationship dynamics would be like with The Hand. Collabs would be limited to characters that reside in NYC, given it won't make too much sense for the turtles to go on a cross-country trip, and I'm a busser for a pizzeria, funny enough. Still, I won't mind them meeting up with the daredevils or any spiders that are roaming around the city.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][sub]__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________[/sub][right][color=FFA500][sup][i]"COWABUNGA!"[color=2e2c2c]___[/color][/i][/sup][/color][/right][/COLOR][/INDENT][/hider] [/quote] The Turtles are accepted!

Her ability to transform could occasionally offer her some respite, but it was a hollow facade, not so different from her occasional work alongside the Brotherhood of Mutants, so dedicated to liberating mutants while she herself was forced into a cage of guilt. But she met a boy who made sparks fly in more ways than one. Remy LeBeau was a blessing, but man that fucking kid was crazy. Crazy enough to make a move on her even knowing the risks.

A blazing meteorite tore across the sky and crashed into the woods. When Ben explored the impact site, an alien device clamped onto his wrist: the Omnitrix. With the ability to transform into a range of alien heroes, Ben spent the summer travelling the country and fighting threats of every kind. He faced Dr. Animo’s mutant creations, an unstable power-stealing mutant named Kevin, and the Forever Knights, a secretive order of alien-hating zealots who hoarded extraterrestrial weaponry and hunted anything not born on Earth. What Ben did not know was that the crash that started it all was no accident. Vilgax, a galactic warlord obsessed with conquering the universe, had attacked the transport ship carrying the Omnitrix and tracked it to Earth. When he finally struck, Ben barely survived the encounter. The battle triggered a catastrophic overload within the watch, and to stop it from detonating and destroying half the universe, Ben launched himself into space to find a way to shut it down. That was five years ago. One crisis after another left him stranded on the far edges of the galaxy. He grew stronger, fought new enemies, and travelled alongside smugglers, rebels, a trigger-happy raccoon, and a talking tree. It was the adventure of a lifetime, but all he wanted was to go home. His chance finally came when S.W.O.R.D. detected his drifting ship entering their territory. But returning to Earth is not the relief he hoped for. The world has changed since he left, and new threats and old enemies await him.

As such, I always wanted to have a go at writing him, especially in a singular universe setting like this, as I feel he is perfect for collaboration with other heroes, both cosmic and earthbound. It also gives me a great opportunity to make use of some new alien forms based on this universe. Ben is definitely a character who does well in a grittier setting, as shown throughout the sequel series, so that's definitely something I intend to touch on here. Organisations like S.W.O.R.D. make such a good foil for idealistic heroes like Ben, who aren't fans of being managed. Especially by morally ambiguous characters like Abigail Brand. On top of all of this, Ben is a very easy character to do some good classic "monster of the week" adventures, with his large roster of heroes being a great way to mix up the action. My stories will definitely be earth-bound for the most part, although I do have more cosmic-scale plans for Vilgax, which I intend to build up in the background.
