Profile
Summary
Baxter is the sweet, happy-go-lucky son of Raphael Hamato (TMNT) & my OC, Sharron Tatopoulos. Most of the time I draw him as a mutant in the Rise of the TMNT universe specifically, but he does also have a kaiju form and exists in Sharron's original universe. November 13th is his birthday. (Scorpio)
Appearance
RISE UNIVERSE (primary): Looks like a perfect cross between his mom and dad; blocky, lizard-like head shape, bipedal, with a tail and spikey snapping turtle shell. Has armor plating like his mother, but its broken up/not connected. Additionally, it's only on forearms, thighs, and snout. Three large spikes on his head and down his neck, with the first one being bigger than the other two. Two fingers and a thumb, but with claws on the tips. Toes are also like his dad's, but with claws on the ends. Usually wears a bright red sash and a belt. Bright yellow eyes. Has a mask, but rarely wears it. For more information, you can look at his official reference sheet.
KAIJU UNIVERSE (secondary): Similar to the rise universe, he has the blocky snout, turtle shell, tail, and armor plating on the limbs. However, key differences are that his forearms arm much bulkier, and he has five fingers on his hands and feet, with extremely long, sharp claws. Much more closely resembling that of a snapping turtle, especially in the shape of his maw and snout. Has an excessive amount of small, spikey bits on his shoulders, neck, and face.
Clothing Style/Human Appearance
Wears darker, muted colors. Dresses for comfort, sometimes with nerdy t-shirts, but mostly prefers to have blank shirts or ones with geometric/cool patterns designs without text. Modern skater aesthetics. He's mixed, being half pacific islander (mom's side), quarter black, and quarter asian (dad's side). 4b hair type, prefering to let his curls grow out and hang loose. Large, block-shaped nose, with vitiligo markings in the areas where his armor plating normally is (across his face, forearms, thighs.
Personality
Sweetest boy you'll ever meet. Very polite and warm, extroverted and excitable. However, just like his parents, he can be a bit of a clutz and isn't the brightest in the room. Quick reflexes, enjoys being in a group. Can also be quite protective of those he cares about. Sensitive, but will not tell you right away, preferring to put other's emotional needs before his own. This can make him seem a bit insincere at times because he's almost too happy & smiley. Won't let on his true feelings unless pressured about it.
Powers
As a Hamato native to the Rise Universe, he has ninpo powers. He has fire/ice powers (red for heat, teal for cold). He also knows the art of ninjitsu and wields a pair of sais for his weapons like his father. Naturally strong, can climb and use his sharp teeth and claws, too.
