Mateo and Charles Kratt

I will now properly be giving them character posts like they deserved, since I made it this far with them, might as well, since they evolved much more than their initial concepts and deserve to be revised a bit too Mateo Kratt, the Twisted version of Martin, the second oldest of the Kratt boys (if we don't count Stephen), the tallest of them too, Ash blonde hair in a mullet and brown eyes, he is possibly bipolar, but that's not the main thing about him. He was planned, but Charles was not planned by their parents in some versions of them. He has a large and disconcerting number of knives on his person and personal collection. He tends to say things people really shouldn't, or says things to purposely creep people out. he likes to bite people when he hugs them. has dermal denticles and another row of teeth in its mouth, as well as shark teeth. The biggest Abigal experiment Glazer, even though he takes the worst of the failures, such as electrocution, he is the most physically affectionate person. Charles Kratt, the Twisted version of Chris, the youngest of the Kratts, and the shortest too, with black hair tied back into a ponytail and Green eyes, he always has a scowl on his face, rarely smiles or laughs, the better fighter of the lot, guy was put into to many self-defense classes to help with his anger issues, also a giant misanthrop, though doesn't hate Martin, Chris, Mateo or his aunts or uncles, parents he can take or leave them really in specific versions. withdrawn and tends to do stuff himself, he mostly stays on the Devil stream when they are in like cities, or goes into the wilderness if it's time to leave, he can only really stand small towns/villages. He also sleeps in the sun like a cat and sometimes in strange places, like a cabinet These two are as close as Martin and Chris; they fought together, fought each other, and still do to this day. They somehow out-feral the originals, them being from Florida is not why they just are like that. Anyway watchout for like Jackson, Kita or Abigal's posts later this week

[twisted-kratts]

yeah, I commissioned @kazzykatt again, for this wonderful thing go support them and their stuffs. Charles stares into a mirror after breaking it with his hand.

Parents of a shark and tiger

Okay, now to get into the complicated history between Mateo and Charles and their parents, mostly because it is important to understand why and who they become, and also the differences for each AU of them.

Distant but no real attachment

This is the usual default for them in most au's i make. Mateo and Charles are not close with their parents, and vice versa. They don't hate them, but they rarely, if at all, tell each other anything about stuff. They have no problems with this on both sides.

Emotional distance, intolerance

This one is like, saved for like the Twisted Burnout au or anything like it if I felt the need, where they don't really understand Mateo and Charles on most levels, and see them mostly as failures, but they don't outright abuse them or say it. In this type, Mateo and Charles only really have each other and Martin and Chris for any emotional support.

now this next one is below the cut here so, TW for abuse.

Abusive

This one is the worst case scenario for Mateo and Charles. I save this for like, Project Echos (yes, I am counting that one), a Runaway au where they escape an Abusive home by not-so-legal means. Mateo and Charles are emotionally stunted and distrusting of others on the outset. Martin and Chris are the only other ones they trust a bit, even as adults.

[twisted-kratts]

I think i'll like this one most, Angels and Demons AU

Anyway, have this probably generic Angels and Demons, but with a twist, I guess with me this should be expected

The "Heavenly" Duo and Friend

And here we have the "Good" guys of this AU. I say that with quotation marks because this takes some inspiration from Panty and Stocking, so anyway Mateo, or Mateous, is the older of the Angel brothers sent down to earth to make up for his sins and other actions while in heaven, that being him being guilty of sins of Lust (90% not sexual but the 10% is but) and Envy (He had a bad habit of envying things other Angels had, even as petty as "Their Halo is shineier then mine" and complaining about it to others), while on earth well he hasn't changed to much but now he has to deal with doing things the human way, while also being forced to hunt and kill rouge demons and monsters Charles, or Chartileos, the younger of the Angel brothers sent to earth to repent for the sins he committed in Heaven, that being Wrath (Misanthropic to humans, which not great for being an angel, and prone to bursts of anger at anything) and Greed (he would never share anything he was given, even on creation) life on earth is like hell already he already thought humans were a waste of creation but now he's forced to protect them and stop things from killing humans. Jackson T, the priest who is tasked with watching over and making sure these two show signs of redeeming themselves, has been doing the whole hunting demons down and putting them down for years before. He was tasked with these two, which is making him reconsider ever being a priest to atone for the sins of his past, Pride being one of them.

The Demonic two and co.

Martin, now, how is he a demon and evil? Well, he's being trained right now on Earth to actually do the evil he was meant to do and inflict on people going to hell, so right now he's just himself, but he's not the best at it, but hey, at least he gets to interact with Earth's animals. Chris, same as Martin and sent to earth to be trained to be a proper Demon, he, just like Martin, is bad at being evil and has a hard time following through on the acts and missions to spread Sin. But again he gets to spend time with Earth animals like he wanted to. Abigale and Kita, two high-ranking demons who're tasked with watching over and guiding Martin and Chris to do evil but also it's still them, so they get sidetracked with their own stuff.

Side characters

Jimmy Z, just a guy who unfortunately gets caught up in the supernatural stuff going on, whether by being nearby or one of the angel bros dragging him along and a demon appears where they're at, he would move to another place if it wasn't for two things, A) JT making it clear he'd probably wouldn't last long with his bad luck and demons and B) he's slated to inherit a company from their parents, yes they're still step bros it was a whole thing JT was adopted into the family but then Jimmy was born so tale as old as time. Aviva and Koki, Two Angels who work at a different church than where Mateo and Charles are, and disguise themselves as Nuns. They are tasked with checking up on those two every so often and reporting anything to heaven.

[twisted-kratts]

been seeing a lot of height stuff, so here's one for the twisted kratts

[twisted-kratts]

Twisted Pokemon trainers

I was thinking about this and like decided to do stuff with these guys and Pokemon, I wanted to do this anyway at some point, but time for the Twisted Kratts to have some Pokemon Long post so squished for convenience

Mateo, the abyssal trainer

Mateo's team is full of somewhat strong poison and Dark types, obviously he has a Sharpedo, but his team is more rounded out Deep terror the Sharpedo (raised it from a carvanha) Burn scars the Houndoom (it bit him and he kept it) Jungle stomp the Venasaur (it poisoned him when it was an Ivysaur) Trio scream the Hydreigon (got it from an egg) Amp breaker the Toxtricity (electrocuted him a lot) Hazard bite the Alolan Muk (fought it when it tried to steal his pancake) He is rather playful about his team names but says rather dark and concerning things with a smile, such as "Man, I really want to bite your hand off for doing that." Anyway, onto the next

Charles, the heated fighter

This one is also obvious, just like the others, such as he has an Incineroar as his starter anyway but he is a Fire/Fighting type, these were pretty obvious Savage the Incineroar (raised from a Litten in secret) Break the Hisuian Decidueye (He and Chris both got rowlets but) Destruction the Blazekin (they fought once and had an understanding) Havoc the Annihilape (The twentyth time it used Rage fist was on him) Shatter the Pawmot (the only Pokémon that came up to him and he couldn't keep a scowl around it, and enjoys being around it) Patience the Delphox (Is the only one of his Pokémon that gives him attitude when he gets angry) He's very much still anti-human even as a trainer, his Pokémon are trained and disciplined to deal with most challenges, they come across most of his interactions with other trainers are swift and simple.

Kita, the illusory actress

Kecleon girl, acting and learning the secrets of others because it's funny. anyway, we have the Normal/Ghost trainer duh I guess Caller the Kecleon (No one knew she had this for a good while) Whisper the Gengar (was a gastly and just stuck around Kita for shits and giggles) Silence the Farigiraf (thought it looked cool and kept it) Exclamation the Obstagoon (found it eating her trash when it was a Zigzagoon) Echo the Hisuian Zoroark (Followed her home when it was a Zoura) Gash the Cerluedge (Got it as a gift from Charles, when it was a Charcadet) She's still the same, finding out people's secrets and tricking them now, she likes to use Echo to basically be a stand in for her when she needs to, and loves to see the reactions to when people discover the trick.

Abigal the offputting inventor

Well, this girl is packing Steel and Fairy types on her team and will use them to seize the chance to beguile and run you through the wringer if you're not careful. FE the Corviknight (given to her as an egg) NE the Togekiss (found out in the wild and wanted to experiment on it) TI the Mawile (was found trying to bite Mateo's arm off) CO the Tinkaton (sees herself in it with its reckless nature) RA the Azumarill (Just likes its vibe really) NH the Hatterene (It almost killed Mateo once and she took it in to test its emotional sensitivity more) Of course, her entire deal with pokemon battles is to test how her Pokemon shape up and how they react to certain battles, her entire thing is saying stuff about how the battle was a test to see and maybe next time will be a different result.

Jackson T, the arrogant dragon pilot

Of course I wouldn't forget the man himself, using only Dragon types, he is a man who gives no quarter to anything outside of perfection. Lockheed the Garchomp (It bit JZ once and knew it was his to have) Thundechief the Archdualdon (Found it along with Abigal during a rainstorm and fought it with Lockheed) Grumman the Dragalge (Almost drowned and it saved him with Mateo) Phantom the Dragapult (Was given to him by Kita when it was a Dreepy) Mikoyan the Kommo-o (Charles found its egg and left it for JT) Sukhoi the Drampa (it was his friend during childhood, and JT saved it from another dragon type trying to kill it) All his Pokémon were given to him as a gift from the others or found alongside them, you can also tell they each match a type the others specialize in. he's just as arrogant as Blue/Bede, whoever else and just as much an asshole when he loses "You won because I was having an off day that's all" Fun fact, they each were a part of other teams in other places before they became a team Mateo was in team aqua Charles was in team plasma (not neo plasma) Kita was in Team Rocket Abigal was a part of the Aether Foundation Jackson T was in team Galactic They don't mind talking about it as it's kind of an open secret for them. Anyway, I just wanted to do a little thing with these characters for funsies okay till the next post, good bye~

[twisted-kratts]

You know what's fun, thinking about Abigal's disregard for ethics, because she'd have probably almost broken most ethics laws with her just her thoughts and notes alone. The biggest ones have to be what happened with Mateo and Charles and the CPSs, in the context of the other scenarios of this AU. those she has some regrets when that happened. Mateo has gotten used to the pain of his teeth falling out and his second row having one move up in his mouth. sometimes he will pull out a loose tooth when it annoys him. has to wear special mouth gear to not have loose teeth fall into his mouth as he sleeps. Charles had trouble with his claws when they came in, accidentally scratching up screens, and furniture and tearing up his clothes a lot, it drove him crazy, till he learned to retract them and wear gloves that let his claws come out without damaging them. At the end of the day, they're still them, but being them they use these things about them to their advantage in fights, and even against each other, btw They do fight till they draw blood cuz it's funny the others have a betting pool of whether or not the two have Rabies, there's nothing in it but just having the vindication of being right. They're very silly little guys who just sometimes will bite your fingers off if they could.

[twisted-kratts]

hellowwww i have some questions about Project Echo AU

1.- Did the clones act like human children?? like, were they babies and cried and did all that??

2.- Did Mateo and Charles knew they were clones? Did they know they were only meant to last 6 years?

3.- if Martin and Chris's parents did not approve of all this, Why did they let the clones near their children? (is there a in-universe reason or is this a "my story my rules" situation?)

4.- "clones to develop actual personalities" So they acted like robots before?

5.- "When Mateo turned four and was being babysat, something bad happened that led to Mateo and Charles being taken away" what was it?? i am so curious, what happened??? did he get a cut and they saw he had wires inside? green goo? whatever clones are made of? Did they mention something about the lab and had to dip before cps was called? what was it??

Finishes tying the ropes so you can't escape :] Anyway, I will answer this how you sent the question.

1.- They did and didn't at the same time, Charles never really cried once and only rarely reacted to things to a concerning degree, Mateo was extremely quiet and only really did things when told to, and barely knew what playing around was.

2.- Yes, and tragically, it was due to the people who made them keep talking about when these two would drop around them like they were objects, and well, not children.

3.- It's a mix of both here, in-universe the reason is guilt cuz well they were in on the project in it's infancy and uh can you guess who's DNA was voulenteered for the thing, and also the me answer is they're not that front and center in this AU for me so like they barely get a say.

4.- Basically, they really had no concept of what it is to be a child or human, due to being mostly raised around cold and clinical stuff with not much sense of what they want.

5.- Oh boy, you opened Pandora's box~, this one will be my favorite to answer, but not everyone's. TW for blood, vomit, and talk of child death, and unethical science, below the cut.

The Incident happened so fast but also so slow. What exactly happened was that the boys were watching Mateo and Charles again, but Mateo mentioned it was his birthday and like yeah pretty wild the "Parents" weren't out taking the now four year old out to have fun on a birthday, though Mateo doesn't mind as he doesn't even know the actual significance of a birthday. Well, you don't need to know what happened next, as Mateo blew out the candles, he suddenly looked very sick, like deathly ill, and he threw up. This wouldn't be too bad if it weren't blood he spewed out of his body in that moment. Yes, everyone else freaked out, yes, the "parents" showed up conveniently to just take Mateo and Charles away, giving half-hearted excuses. No, the cake wasn't spared from the blood. The people running the project were gonna let Mateo just die as Mateo's time was faster approaching than they thought, till someone suggested they splice DNA with them to possibly save Mateo, not out of guilt for a child but to save an asset they worked too hard on.
