I've been working this for a while. TMNT, Nightwatcher. The OCs are inspired by various characters of the TMNT mythos. Comics, movies, tv shows, and videogames. Now, I finally have the time to work on this. These easter eggs are going to be most enjoyable by people who've seen the TMNT before the 2012 series.

This chapter is mostly meant to establish the OC Characters, and how they are connected to the Turtles Universe. Later chapters are going have more familiar faces.

...

Hm. The Krang were here, but now they are not here. I should add finding out who attacked this place to my list of things to do. Right below stopping the Krang.

The Krang destroyed my world, but I was given a chance to stop the Krang. The Krang's imperfect mutagen transformed nearly every human in New York. I was lucky enough to not be mutated, and possessed some form of resistance to time manipulating effects. These two factors allowed me to go back to the past without the suspicion of the Krang, or risking my own existence.

I know the Krang do not have access to the portal to Dimension X yet, so the Krang do not have access to the technology to perfect the mutagen. The main source of mutagen, the technodrome's and cloning technology are all out of the Krang's reach. The Krang have a limited supply of mutagen and no way to transform the mutagen into the prefected mutagen.

My last priority should be destroying all of the Krang's Mutagen resources before it can be used. It is important, but not as important as the other priorrities.

Keeping the Krang out of dimension X is my second piority. I would have to find Leatherhead for that, and I am not certain if he will trust me.

The Krang are focused on perfecting the mutagen. Making sure the Krang can not perfect the mutagen should be my first priority. That could mean fulfilling at least one of the other two, but it can also be solved by other means. It is my main goal, but I do not have a clear idea how to achieve that goal because I do not know what the Krang did to perfect the mutagen. But I know who has been monitering the Krang's activities.

"Hey, who's there!" Local authorities. Investigating the explosion from earlier. It is probably for the best that he does not know I was here. I should go help him with that by altering his memory. He will not be able to remember anything that happened on this night. Even if someone notices that his memories are inconsistent, it should not cause them any significant trouble to them.

...

Elsewhere, sometime later.

It's not right! I found those ninja stars at that torn down warehouse long before any of them even got there. They can't take the credit for that. That was the first piece of proof I found of his existence, and they just took it from me!

And when I found that one officer that I spoke with, he didn't even remember me! Unbelievable. That's the only word I can describe this with. Unbelievable.

"Vernon! Did you see the news! There are ninja's in New York!" My friend, Usagi. And by friend, I mean that one person from class that you can't get away from, no matter how much you want to.

"I know. I was there!" I answered, trying to make it as clear as possible that I was annoyed. She can be really ignorant sometimes.

"Wait, what?" She has no idea what I'm talking about. "I found the throwing stars, showed them to the police, and they took all the credit." I explained. Usagi tilted her head. She does that a lot when she's thinking about something.

"Wait, why were you there?" Usagi asked. Is she serious? "I was trying to get photos of the Vigilante." I answered. She tilted her head again.

"Who?" How does she not remember? I've been talking with her about him for weeks! "The guy that's been fighting the Purple Dragons at night." She still doesn't remember. "Clears them out so fast no one notices he's there." Still nothing.

"Moves so fast Chris Bradford would be jealous." I should not have said that. "YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" She just slammed me against a locker! "Relax, it was a joke." I said. "You don't joke about Chris Bradford. Unless it's a Chris Bradford joke." That doesn't even make sense!

She let me go and tilted her head again. "Are you a ninja?" Usagi asked. "What?" I don't usually answer a question with another question, but that one...

"Well, you found the throwing stars before the police. That's really suspicious." Usagi said. "And my dad knows about the ninjas that made the throwing stars, which is also suspicious." Wait, what? "And I know both of you, so that's suspicious." Why does her dad know about the ninjas? "And my dad gave me ninja training."

The only thing I know about him was that he used to be an actor. "And he called Chris Bradford." Or was he a stunt double for an actor. "And he told me he was going to see Chris Bradford later today. " He was in a movie with Chris Bradford. "They were both in that one cartoon." THAT I remember Usagi being clear about.

"Wait, are you listening to me?" Why can't I remember anything she says? "HEY!" She's shaking me! Why is she shaking me!

"You didn't answer my question." Usagi said. Oh yeah, I forgot. "No, I'm not a ninja." I answered. "If I was, I would have been able to get proof of the Vigilante by now."

The first time, and I didn't have a camera on me. Every othertime I see him, he left too fast for me to get a picture.

Usagi tilted her head again. "Do you think the vigilante is a ninja?" Huh. Never thought about that. "Maybe."

...

So, yeah, the OCs are inspired by preexisting TMNT characters. Starting from least changed to most, Vernon Fenwick, a genderbent human Usagi Miyamoto, The Nightwatcher (who is a composite character), and the last guy, who's name gives spoilers if you know who he's inspired by. There's going to be more canon related stuff going on later, right now this is just the prologue, so peace out.
