if any of y’all have questions about the AU, I can do my best to answer without spoiling any major plot points i have planned ^^
here’s a lil pre-emptive FAQ for yall:
Can I draw fanart of your AU?
yes!! Just be sure to credit me please ^^ (and I’d love to see anything yall make)
What Media is this AU going to be?
Once I get all the main designs out and posted here, I plan to start sharing the story on ao3, while occasionally doing chapter art to share here.
Will [insert ship here] be canon?
you will have to wait and see
Mousesplinter: Sunclan's sole elder and a much-respected source of advice. While he is retired, he often leaves camp to watch the clan's apprentices' training and offer tips for improvement
Tossing more old art cause this just what i have rn for this au. So more OCs!!
This time feature my girl Lily
From left to right we have Rise, 2012, and Bayverse. The reason Rise looks so different from the othwr two is because Rise Lily is the only version of her i have thats a mutant. A sheep dog mutant in case anyone was wondering
I’m sure i’ve got art of their regular versions posted somewhere on my main blog if anyone’s curious. I know I’ve definitely posted Finch (see previous post here) albeit their rise version.
I’m tossing this one in as a half batch since this is the OC round!! (+Bishop)
Like many of the people in the TMNT fandom, I have a few OCs of my own (MAYBE a few too many, but alas). Because this au is first and foremost something i’m making for myself, I’m including them in my story. I understand if thats not your cup of tea, but i hope maybe yall like em anyways!
I’ve actually briefly mentioned one of them before when listing mentors in a previous post. Today for this post, I’ll be sharing my 2012 variants of Finch, Nova, Lily, Kelsey, and Finnigan.
Bishop and Dove (AKA 2012 Bishop and 2012 Finch [an OC of mine])
Bishop is an average-sized short-hair tuxedo tom with yellow-green, and Dove is a short-hair spotted tabby with green eyes. Dove has sort of weird a mane of fur around her neck despite being fully short-fu everywhere else.
Bishop used to be in the Krang Gang, as did Dove’s parents. Dove was born rather sickly and weak, things the krang did not tolerate. Only the strong are allowed to remain. Bishop, who had already been planning to leave, outright refused to remain in a group that would call for the death of a kit instead of at least trying to save it. So he took the sick little kit and left. He had no knowledge of medicine, and had no expectations that the kit would live for long, simply wanting to let them pass in peace instead of scared and intentionally by someone’s claws.
Since he didn’t think it right for them do die without a proper name, he named them “Dove” in hopes their spirit would pass on peacefully. He’d heard tale of some cats considering doves to be messengers of the dead. Dove, however, defied the odds however, and very much recovered.
This left Bishop in the awkward position of accidental fatherhood he’d not previously anticipated. It’s been a learning experience for all parties involved.
Nova, aka Goldpaw
A small, short-furred cream point she-cat with blue-green eyes
Formerly a kittypet named Gold, Nova’s old owner was an elderly twoleg who unfortunately passed, leaving her house and cats to her son. The new twoleg didn’t want any cats, and after getting rid of all but Gold, he decided if no one wanted her, the woods could have her. It just so happened he left her on the edge of Sunclan territory where she was taken into the clan as an apprentice. Her mentor is Orangepounce (03 Mikey)
Lily, aka Swiftpaw (eventually to be Lilypaw)
A small, dark brown mackerel tabby she-cat with brown eyes, covered in scars.
Swiftpaw was born into Nightclan, and is less than pleased to be there. Her mentor is Dogbone (2012 Razar) Her training has been especially rough so far, especially after she and her aunt got caught planning to leave the clan. She’s grown close with Viperpaw seeing as they’re aren’t many other apprentices in the clan right now.
Kelsey
a black ghost tabby oriental short-hair kittypet with green eyes
living peacefully in twolegplace. She’s neighbors with April and Finn. A bit of a social butterfly, she knows ALL the cats in her area, even if they aren’t friends. She’s perfectly content as a pet but likes to drag Finn out to go exploring with her in the woods
Finn
a large, golden-furred maine coon kittypet with brown eyes and a bow on his tail
Kelsey’s neighbor and another kittypet. He’s Kelsey’s best friend and impulse control. He’s extremely friendly, wanting to see the best in others. A bit naïve, but he’s got a kind heart and good head on his shoulders
Have a lil Tallpaw and Wolfpaw road trip doodle i made on a broken piece of a louvre from a vertical blind because I didn't have anything else to draw on
I’m guessing since viperpaw and Pricklepaw are siblings in this there will be no weird crush on each other (I’m still weirded out that they kept it in the show after the discovery that karai was miwa because you know even if they’re mutants the turtles do have splinters’ human dna)
correct you are!! honestly that's something i remove from pretty much any 2012 au I make =w=;
Making Viperpaw and Bravepaw fully bio siblings was just the easiest way to go about it this time. Romances aren't gunna be a main focus in the story I have anyways, but this just removes that as a possibility entirely
I wanted to Make a lil family tree post for 2012. This is just to toss them all into one post now that they've all been shared!! (shreds was the last to be posted) If you'd like more on Splints and his kids, I have a post about that here!
Shredder and splinter, bio brothers in this au, and also Tang Shen to start us off!! Also known as Shredderstar (formerly Poppystrike), Magnoliaclaw, and Spiritpool.
Karai, Mikey, and Donnie! Better known as Viperpaw, Frecklepaw, and Tallpaw! All three of them are a decent mix of their parents' colors
AND FINALLY!! Raph and Leo. Pricklepaw and Bravepaw. The two most like copies of their parents.
extra below!!
Leo and Raph next to they parent they're basically a clone of
Leo's a bit lighter than his mom, and slightly more saturated. It'll be more obvious when I actually draw him, but he's also has a bit broader of a build, like splinter
similar color, similar markings, could almost be twins! Raph has green eyes though, and less white spotting, and is much smaller than his dad was at his age.
Fairly new as leader of Nightclan, Shredderstar was formerly known as Poppystrike. After the first Shredderstar, all nightclan leaders since have taken the name Shredderstar upon their promotion to leadership. He is cruel and vicious, not tolerating betrayal among his clan and dolling out rather harsh punishments to those who’d dare challenge his word.
Hi there!! Unsure if you're still working on this au but I just found it and I LOVE the concept!! TMNT is my biggest interest atm and Warriors was it as I was growing up, so seeing them mixed brings a lot of joy. Especially mixing the different iterations?? So cool!
I hope you're having a wonderful day! :D
This genuinely made my day!!
I am still working on this, slowly but surely behind the scenes, tho im hoping to post more about it soon!! I’m hoping to fulling round out all the allegiances and the first bit of plotline soon
Adding onto this: i also have a (admittedly self indulgent) 2012 rewrite/au that my bestie and i are working on over on @stripedhatrewriteaus (nothing yet but we’ll be posting soon since we’re almost done with our outline for season one if i recall from our doc) and a full-ass warrior cats rewrite/au as well actually
As well as more regular posting of general warrior cats takes and aus over of @hatsbattlecats
ANNNNNNND a (mostly) amphibia centered warrior cats au over on @frogs-cryptids-and-witches
