OHO they were not always dogs! they wear lockets of their old selves as knights! they don't remember their old lives! they fought against the gods! they were brought to life as dogs because their oaths were to serve this life and the next and with the "next" shut, the druids helped them return in new forms! Hounds of the King!!! to the hounds!!!!

Law Drop from E017 - The Place of Wings

Information narrated / gathered while Occtis, Vaelus, Gaya Seremai and Dr Talter went through the Tachonis tents

Narrated generally: -

The excavation began 4 years ago;

Place was abandoned in a hurry, leaving letters, arcane texts, potions.

Information for Vaelus on a 22, who was looking for Occtis' name, the purpose of the place, and names generally, in the Military Tent (MiliTent tm): -

The tent belongs to a Captain of the Tachonis family who was likely a Vassal Knight;

It describes having lost the trail of an artifact concerning a Celestial called Olbalad, saying that the trail had gone cold in Venatus. - Brennan's summary of journal entries made by a Lord of Tachonis, possibly Occtis' Uncle;

"I fear that the drowned men may have beaten us to the punch on this one." - note from someone unspecified;

"Our most recent findings were from about 2.5 months ago. The final experiment was a failure and wasted our last supplies of ossement." - missive with the head of the site;

"Final experiment a partial success but largely failure. It is my opinion that Tertia's innate gifts and connection to the Tenebral Reaches thwarted the grafting of the calcidial prosthesis. I will miss her dearly." - Journal of the Tachonis Lord. (This was actually the last thing Vaelus discovered, moved here because it relates to the above bullet);

The Halovars have proven a dead end. Some inherent power of their sorcery immunises them against the procedure. - Brennan's summary of a letter from an unstated person;

"A new source of calcidion has revealed itself, but we need to move quickly. The Cloak is moving faster than anticipated. If the obelisk holds fast in Tannesar, does the sacrifice itself need to happen in Tannesar?" - Letter from Primus Tachonis;

"The risks may be necessary. We cannot long keep our forces hidden outside the Orchard and we can't chance the Sea Door closing." - Separate letter from Primus Tachonis - informal, scrawled.

Discoveries by Occtis on a 30, focused on the potions and associated instructions, and items that were potentially overlooked and may be useful to the party, in the Occult Tent (OcculTent tm): -

(1) A map of what's been excavated so far, describing the following: -

Central chamber - where the Tachonis discovered all the magical necessary to do this

Deva Vindicta - the Celestial that the Tachonis are trying to create

Chamber of the Apotheon Vindicta - later described as a central chamber.

Hall of the Demon Guardians - what the Tachonis are calling the area that leads to the Chamber of Apotheon Vindicta

Sepulchral Veil - deep beneath the Chamber of the Apotheon Vindicta (last thing Occtis discovered, Brennan specifically noted the 30, moved up as it's position is relative to the AV at third bullet)

Bridge over a subterranean lake leading to the Apotheotic Obelisk

Funereal and preparatory chambers, a small area is currently being used for day to day life;

The Creature's dwelling-place. (Brennan later uses creature to refer to a Deva Vindicta but then corrects to the DV being the Celestial they're trying to create.)

(2) Two doses of petrification anti-venom, and associated info: -

Accompanied by documentation from House Seremai

Occtis recalls that they're used to counter Basilisk petrification

Gaya confirms they're associated with Basilisks and that her house makes the antidote.

What the Formatting Means

"quotes" = information that Brennan has indicated is read verbatim from the documents Vaelus is looking at

Streetpunk!Tmnt x Human!reader

moodboard and world building for upcoming Street punk Tmnt fics…

(I’ve removed my previous reader entry to make this more open for any other fics I decide to write about including the Streetpunk Turtles.)

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁

⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ World building inspo:

The year is 1999 in Brooklynn, New York. The town is a muddled mess of old money, new money, poor and corrupt people. Brooklynn is the most desired place to live, but it’s often just a dream for most due to the expenses of living there. Besides the bustling city full of designer shops and famous celebrities, Brooklynn is most known for its mixed population of Mutants and Humans alike.

Mutants have been a recorded species that’s been heavily documented since the beginning of time, Native American cave paintings of humans alongside animal like figures and Egyptian Hieroglyphics speaking of lions and cats that walk on two legs and speak their language have been on display in museums for centuries.

In the early 1400s humans began to enslave Mutants due to widespread malevolent religious practices and beliefs that interpreted most religion as saying animals weren’t intelligent/didn’t have souls. This led to horrific wars being fought and most mutants being put under the control of ‘owners’ as if they were regular animals.

The Mutated Race Act, (MRA) was first enacted in Brooklynn in 1863, making New York one of the first and only places at the time that allowed mutants to live on their own without ‘owners’ or ‘overseers’. Mutants were now allowed to own property and function on their own and weren’t allowed to get jobs and get degrees. Over time the act spread across the world, making Mutants of all kinds be recognized as another form of intelligent and functional life alongside humans.

Understandably so, a good majority of mutants hold grudges against humans, just reading a few pages in a history book about how their race was treated would make anyone angry. And some humans still believe mutants are just animals and nothing more, organized religions were formed against them and cults were made in just the belief that humans were the superior race.

Which leads up to now. Where everywhere acknowledges mutants as having rights, but not all people do. The turtles, Swift, Rebel, Ghost, and M.C, have all had good and bad experiences with humans, some of them having worse experiences than the others. So they tend to keep their distance. They don’t hate humans, but they definitely keep their guard up.

°˖➴ Turtles house inspo:

The turtles all I’ve in the shared home they bought with their dirty money. The house is a shoreside mansion with dozens of servants and maids that cook exquisite food and cater at Swifts over the top parties full of people he doesn’t even know. The estate is equipped with a spacious pool, an open yard for crazy parties and high ceilings for wild indoor parties. Every week their mailbox is riddled with hundreds of noise complaints but they just pay the fines and continue to annoy the neighbors, it pays being rich.

°˖➴ Turtles backstory inspo:

The turtles grew up in what could only be described as a group home with no adults. It was just a bunch of homeless kids and young adults all living and an abandoned house off in the secluded woods of New York. This is where the boys were first taught to steal, and do crime to get what they want, but it was also where they were taught how to read, write, cook, and speak both English and Spanish fluently. It wasn’t a negative experience but it wasn’t a positive one either. Most nights were filled with bonfires and alcohol with the occasional fight over food or money. Speakers played music till the sun came up and they did whatever they wanted when they wanted, and it was almost the perfect life, until they found their true home.

…

The house was eventually raided when someone got swatted due to an outsider finding out it was a makeshift drug lab and illegal activity haven, leaving everyone to scatter and fending for themselves. The boys all made their way to inner city Brooklynn where they slept in alleyways and stole from corporate stores.

Until one day, a man approached them, a mutant. Mr. Izanagi. He was a a cunning older mutant rat, dressed to be nines in patterned suits and fancy dress shoes, his eyes always covered with his pitch black sunglasses.

He’d taken the boys under his wing once he’d heard about four turtle brothers managing to repeatedly steal from his high end tightly secured businesses multiple times.

He wasn’t so much of a father figure rather than a mentor. He taught the boys everything they needed to know about running insider trade deals and drug rings that held more money than the boys even knew existed. Within a few years all the boys were involved in their own branch of illegal crime, the brothers all surpassing their master in wealth in just a few short years.

Tragically, Mr. Izanagi was drugged and kidnapped before being used as a ransoms against the brothers before finally getting killed in a brutal week of insufferable torture. He wasn’t actually meant to die, but he had ended up killing himself after a few days of enduring waterboarding for hours on end and beatings so bad he couldn’t move for hours.

This crushed the boys and only led them farther and farther down the crime rabbit hole.

Swifts character inspo:

Swift is a cunning, sly, arrogant fuck boy who’s so painfully emotional. His birthday is August 23rd 1978 and he’s roughly 6,1. He’s definitely the one that has the most emotion out of the four turtles. He has a special interest in cars, specifically high end sports cars, his favorite car is his cloud blue iridescent Pigani. He’s also a prolific mechanic that’s well known in New York but only by the people who he wants to know him. He has a special knack for being a show off cocky bastard. His body count is higher than he cares to remember, and he’s not ashamed to brag about it. He knows he’s so cool, he knows he’s irresistible and amazing, but he wants everyone else to know that too.

✮ Rebels character inspo:

Rebel is a quiet, reserved, brute of a mutant. He’s the biggest of the four turtles in terms of muscles. He’s got a special interest in vehicles like his older brother but he specifies in motorcycles. His birthday is May 30th 1979 and he’s comes in at a whopping 6,0.He loves to box and does occasional matches in his gym with his training partners, which usually gains him more attention than he wants. He’s actually a very good gardener and cook, which most people don’t think he would be mainly because of his outward appearance. He’s not someone who finds emotion in the little things like tv shows or nature scenes. He’s not a very materialistic person unlike his other three brothers.

⌖ Ghosts character inspo:

Ghost is the dorkiest out of the four turtles, and he’s got major anxiety issues. Not the kind of anxiety that makes him shy, not a chance, his anxiety makes him come off as more of an asshole. He just straight up won’t acknowledge someone if he’s too anxious at the moment and will walk away mid conversation if he’s too overwhelmed by everything around him. His birthday is February 14th 1980 and he’s stands at a tall 6,2. He likes weapons of all sorts, but specifically guns and power bows. He’s a famously known gun dealer who can get you any gun with any attachment known to man. He’s mostly known for making custom builds of guns that no one else even thought was possible. He knows every gun law know to man and is well versed on every part of every gun that been manufactured since the beginning of time. He tends to favor snipers over any other guns and has studied the art of making the perfect shot at the perfect time.

𖤓 M.C. character inspo:

M.C. Is the trouble maker, the carefree delinquent child that’s favored by all. His birthday is October 26th 1980, and he’s a solid 5,11. He’s much like Swift in the sense where he’s the life of the party and is cocky as hell. He’s got a nasty reputation for being a dirty fighter and known for being overly aggressive when riled up even the slightest. He’s a prankster and jokester who never misses an opportunity to entertain himself and his close friends. He’s got an explosive temper paired with an inability to voice his true feelings, which isn’t a good mix. He’s a locally famous DJ who’s known for making some of the best party music known to man, unlike his brothers, He’s mainly favored for his Spanish style and Brazilian flow style of music. He doesn’t really know how to be vulnerable comfortably so he tends to just be on the verge of being pissed off every waking moment. He also has a bad vaping habit paired with on and off alcohol abuse.
