Ninjago AU Headcannons
so obviously, this includes OC content. if you don't like OCs, don't read that part/ignore other hc ig?
anyway, this is for my AU of Ninjago, Echoes of the Echoed. The timeline is set to be between Crystalized (s16) and Dragons Rising Season 1. So there shouldn't be any spoilers?
this is just a bunch of random hcs I have for the ninja (and Hanna) in my AU. some of these are adapted from other people, some of them are mine.
Kai
he has naturally straight hair so he uses curlers to put wave in it. by curlers, i mean the ones your grandma uses overnight. he also sleeps in a bonnet
bro wears eyeliner. not a lot, but when asked he will admit to it.
he knows how to cook a meal and is probably the best chef (minus Zane bc Zane is goated) but doesn't like to cook
he is terrified of bugs. any kind of bug, it doesn't matter. he doesn't want to look at them, he doesn't want to be near him, and if he was alone in the monastery and found a spider, the entire thing would be up in flames.
when he gets spooked, sometimes fire will shoot out of his shoulders.
when someone on the team is upset or struggling with smth, he forces them to do self care nights with him
he paints his nails black or red
he's an insomniac, has been since his parents left. it got better around s11 but still struggles with it. when he can't sleep he likes to do blacksmithing. nya and pixal set up a station in the X Cave for him to do it quietly.
Jay
adhd, adhd, adhd, adhd, adhd, adhd-
he doesn't know what his biological mother looks like and he likes to try and imagine it.
the reason his hair curled after s7 is bc of puberty. some people's hair gets curly :/
when he uses his powers his spine will glow blue and have offshoots of the same color that look like lightning. it's sick af
he always carries his yin medallion with him. he might be wearing it, he may be holding it, it may be chillin in his pocket, but it's always on him.
after the events of s15 and then after s16, jay brags about how easy it was for him to grow a beard. it pisses lloyd off.
the eye that he hurt in Skybound(s6) is ever so slightly a lighter shade of blue than his other eye. sometimes it still hurts him and on those days it looks bloodshot and he wears an eye patch.
his favorite kind of art is watercolors.
he's got a wicked spice tollerance
Cole
he forced Zane to teach him how to cook basic things. but, he is a very skilled baker naturally
he's great with kids bc he lets them swing off his arms like monkey bars
cole is black and bc his dad never did, kai taught him how to take care of his hair.
he likes having long hair bc it covers his scar from when he was a ghost.
right after becoming human again, he kept forgetting he wasn't a ghost and kept running into walls and doors
he has seriously considered becoming a streamer
cole is terrified of singing because his mother used to sing him to sleep.
Zane
sometimes he feels what pixal is feeling bc they share a heart
even after nya came back in s16, zane didn't turn on his emotions again until nya convinced him too. he then cried for three hours straight.
he will laugh without hesitation at a dad joke. he will also crack up as he's trying to tell a dad joke
he still has pictures lloyd drew him in s1 until childs play.
he's easily annoyed by people who break traffic laws.
he rarely swears, but swore more when he was pretending to be a pirate in s15.
after figuring out him roleplaying a detective in s12 annoyed Pixal, he downloads and roleplays things for other missions they are on together. like the pirate thing in s15.
he lets kai paint his nails
Nya
unlike kai, her hair is naturally wavy and she used to straighten it from the pilot-s7. then she kinda gave up.
she decided to grow out her hair bc she wanted to look more like her mother, but then hated having hair against her neck all the time and started putting it up.
she can bench press jay and she has a sleeper build
she gets pissed when she sees someone in the arcade getting close to her and jay's high score on the dance machine
she's a light sleeper
she's terrified of snakes
when she's upset about something, she will either beat the shit out of the training equipment (then proceed to fix in in a huff) or just build random things
she's seriously considered building jay a robot dog. but she never went through with it
Lloyd
when he's really happy, sleeping, or meditating, he purrs.
he's got freckles that look like diamonds bc of the dragon scale thing
hes got fangs, his ears are pointed, and when he's pissed or enamored by something his eyes turn red. naturally, his pupils are a bit pointer, aren't as round basically
lloyd knew about his oni form before the events of s16 but never told anyone. he's known about it since s9 when he had a nightmare and woke up to see himself half-shifted in the mirror. he asked mistake about it, she explained, he asked her to not tell anyone, and she didn't. neither did he.
he likes mints because he likes hard candies better, gives him something to fidget with
he's always bustling with energy bc of his element. he can't sit still for the life of him.
he can still control the individual elements of creation as well as water and wind. he found out he could control wind after s5 and he could control water after s15.
when he uses his powers, his eyes glow whatever color they are (red or green) for up to an hour afterwards.
he has super hearing and super smell. he can also partially see in the dark if theres just a little bit of light
he hates ants
he has consistent nightmares. nearly every night. unlike the visions in DR, he doesn't flail for his nightmares, just jolts awake.
he loves photography and has many professional grade cameras. he likes it because he gets to hold memories.
when he's upset at someone, he unconsciously switches to yelling at them in Oni language.
he can understand and read the Harmonizer language but can't speak or write it.
Hanna
she's filthy rich. her parents own a very successful real estate business and a shipping company
she doesn't talk to her parents and doesn't like talking about them
she has an accent bc of being part Harmonizer but she hides it bc it led to a lot of people not understanding her. the closest thing it sounds like irl is a Russian accent.
she sometimes talks in the Harmonizer language, especially if she's frustrated or sleeping.
she can understand and read the Oni language.
after shifting to full harmonizer the first time, the black and gold lines on her skin became visible when human if your close enough to see them
she requires no form of skin care but still joins kai for skin care nights.
she has bad periods and struggles with migraines bc of her powers
she could feel something was off before the crystal king formed in s16. she has a scar on her knuckle from where she punched harumi in the face
she loves sports bikes. she liked going fast and breaking traffic laws. but, safety is her top priority even for herself and never goes out without making sure her and any backpacks are in full gear.
after s15, she had a lot of anxiety attacks
she knew about Lloyd's oni form bc she accidentally walked in on him one day he struggled to mask it.
she is also really good with kids
she heals pretty quickly bc of being part harmonizer, and because of that, most of the wounds she gets scars over.
she hates being in the spotlight
so thats them, let me know what you think. should I do more hcs? let me know ab that too. uhh
hope you enjoyed :D
