☆ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ☆

• Real Name: Takeshi.
• Age: 38 years.
• Height: 1.99 meters (6'6") — a true bipedal titan.
• Appearance: A gigantic, mutant, anthropomorphic Bengal tiger. He has orange and white fur with striking black stripes, claws, and extremely sharp teeth. His appearance resembles that of a ruthless bounty hunter: he wears modern Western combat clothing mixed with bandoliers. His trademarks are an eyepatch over his left eye and a torn right ear, scars acquired after fighting to escape hostile dimensions. He also lacks a tail, which was severed in the past by his own sister and former partner in crime, Alopex.
• Skills: He is a master assassin and former bounty hunter feared throughout Asia. He possesses superhuman strength and agility, as well as ultra-sharp feline senses (smell and hearing). In long-range combat, he is a surgical sniper equipped with two customized laser pistols that fire energy blasts and freezing projectiles. For close combat, he wields a huge machete and uses a military jetpack on his back to fly and perform devastating aerial strikes.

Your Relationship with the Characters

• With Shredder: He acts as the second-in-command of the Foot Clan, the most lethal general and Shredder's most trusted enforcer. He operates with the focus of a cold, professional soldier and sets a much more serious and dangerous tone for the enemy gang.
• With the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: He harbors a deep personal grudge against his brothers. In his debut, he humiliates and defeats all four turtles together with extreme ease due to his tactical superiority. He is the arch-nemesis who leads brutal ambushes, hunts down their human allies (such as April and Casey), and serves as the ultimate physical counterweight against the team.
• With Master Splinter: Although he is able to subdue the boys, he is outmatched when faced with Master Splinter's mystical Ninjutsu mastery.

Bebop and Rocksteady

• Age: Around 27 years old (human equivalent)
• Height: Bebop (200 cm) / Rocksteady (210 cm)
• Appearance: Bebop is a mutant warthog with an 80s punk style, purple sunglasses with straight lenses, and a bright pink mohawk. Rocksteady is a gigantic, stocky mutant rhinoceros who wears camouflage military clothing, heavy boots, and three horns on his head.
• Skills: Devastating brute physical strength and resistance to gunfire and impacts. They have no intelligence or ninja techniques whatsoever, solving everything by breaking down walls, using machine guns, chainsaws, crowbars, and heavy weapons.
• Relationship with the Protagonists: They started as members of a human street gang working for Shredder. They were the first to undergo the voluntary mutation process to try and fight back against the turtles. They function as the classic comic relief of the villains: they are extremely clumsy, stupid, and constantly ruin Shredder's plans out of sheer stupidity, which leads to very funny fights with Michelangelo and Raphael.

Kang (or The Kraang)

• Age: Hundreds of years
• Height: 45 cm (the brain itself) / Over 2 meters when inside the robotic body.
• Appearance: A sleek alien from Dimension X that resembles a giant pink brain with eyes and tentacles. To move and fight on Earth, it lodges itself in the belly of a massive, muscular, neckless, robotic android body, which in some versions wears sunglasses.
• Abilities: Genius-level cosmic intellect and advanced alien technology. His robotic body can transform his hands into axes, laser weapons, and massive metal spheres, as well as change size. He commands armies of robots and spaceships.
• Relationship with the Protagonists: Krang forms an alliance with Shredder: he provides alien technology and the chemical compound (Ooze) to the Foot Clan, and in return, Shredder helps him build the Technodrome (his mobile fortress) to invade and enslave Earth. Donatello is primarily responsible for tracking down and sabotaging his scientific plans.

Baxter Stockman

• Height: 175 cm (human) / 160 cm (as a fly)

• Abilities: A genius of robotics and bioengineering. He is the creator of the Mousers (small rat-eating robots designed to hunt Master Splinter in the sewers). As a fly, he gains the ability to fly, chaotic reflexes, and can spit corrosive acid.
• Relationship with the Protagonists: A very recurring secondary villain. He hates the turtles for ruining his inventions, but also hates Shredder for turning him into a monster. He serves as the Foot Clan's forced scientist, creating mutants and robotic traps.

Casey is Raphael's best friend; the two met fighting in the streets and became inseparable due to their shared love of adrenaline and impulsiveness.

Slash has immense respect for Raph, but his relationship with his other brothers (especially Leonardo) began full of rivalry and distrust due to his unstable temperament. Over time, he redeems himself and becomes a tactical ally who leads the Mutanimals to provide heavy cover for the turtles.

Michelangelo (Mikey)

• Mask Color: Orange
• Height: 1.68 m.
• Weapon of Choice: A pair of nunchucks (or grappling hooks in some media).
• Personality: The youngest brother, the comic relief, and the heart of the group. Michelangelo is the classic 80s/90s teenage skater: playful, hyperactive, immature, and completely laid-back. He doesn't like studying or training as much as the others, but he possesses the greatest raw talent and natural agility for Ninjutsu among the four brothers.
• Likes: Eating PIZZA (he's completely obsessed, inventing bizarre combinations), skateboarding in the sewers, reading comic books, playing video games, and shouting his favorite catchphrase: "Cowabunga!" (or "Booyakasha!" in the 2012 version).

Donatello (Donnie)

Leonardo (Leo)
