AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE THESE

All the cool kids were doing it, so here’s my take on the Rise boys as humans!

Here’s a few headcanons regarding the designs:

Mikey

Was forbidden from getting piercings until he was at least sixteen, so he took matters into his own hands. Initially he pierced his ears himself, but later he managed to rope Donnie into helping him and they figured it out together. Raph gave them one hell of a lecture when he showed up with his first proper piercing, but he assured him that he got all the details covered. Raph gave up on stopping him after his third piercing.

Likes to cover scars and tiny wounds of any kind with colorful bandages. Sometimes he slaps them on when he isn’t really hurt simply because he thinks they look cool. Leo may be the medic but Mikey will put a little band aid over it, no matter how big the wound it.

Started wearing the bi colored pearls in his hair without telling anyone why. Just as he planned, he came out the moment someone questioned them. He enjoys the color combo so he just permanently kept them after it.

Painted all the patterns on his jacket himself.

Raph

Mikey was the one who made the Mad Dogs t-shirt for him after they established the name as a gift. He cried.

The white band aids on his chest cover a nasty scar he got when they were younger. Though he got it from something a lot more mundane than fighting crime or demons.

The buzz cut is a recent development. He used to have braided dreads.

Often forgets to change the bandages he has wrapped around his hands so when he finally puts on new ones the old ones are often either stained of barely hanging on after days of usage.

Leo

Has vitiligo.

Started bleaching his hair around 13. Did it very wrong the first time and had to cut off all his hair and he cried so hard he threw up.

Prefers more traditional clothing

Decided to pierce his ear when Mikey was getting his eyebrow piercing and got scolded way more than his brother because he insisted on doing it himself. Fortunately, it didn’t get infected.

Still has his lil’ pouch and does in fact keep medical supplies in there.

Donnie

Keeps his tech in his backpack that he prefers to keep on at all times. The backpack is of course also a piece of technology in itself, with the spider arms and jetpack respectively.

Has scoliosis and general back and neck problems. Often needs to wear a back brace.

Still decks himself out in all his tech. Due to having the most health issues out of his brothers he feels he still needs to compensate.

Was unfortunately stopped from giving himself lazer eye surgery so he still needs glasses.

Masks are only worn on missions. (Though I’ve usually excluded them from other drawings, but shhhhh)

Been thinking about this more as a human au rather than just the human designs though it could also just be designs for potential cloaking broaches.
