Lil nervous to share, but I made a past ninja oc (along with some other ocs that are important to him and his time as the ninja)((also apologies if something doesn’t make sense, I’m writing this at midnight and scheduling it to post later))

I introduce to you all: Oliver Fowler, the Ninja of 1867

Yes, this man right here is Theresa’s great grandfather. Why? I thought it’d be neat.

But more about that later, here is more talk about him:

I feel like there were (very rare) times the Ninjanomicon chose an adult. And only doing so if there a circumstance/event that a teenager couldn’t handle as well. For Oliver, it was because of the Civil War. Along with that was showing the attributes most favored for a Ninja. He was a very outspoken man about fairness and equality, and wasn’t afraid to stand up against those with more power and higher status. He had a soft heart and cares deeply for his friends and family. He has an optimistic but realistic outlook on life. He thinks things through and is able to process information for a quick and good outcome. (I’m bad at describing personality of my characters so I’m gonna make doodles of him later)

But he isn’t without a few flaws. Despite his quick thinking, he can sometimes overthink and over complicate an answer. Sometimes not even seeing the obvious (he got anxiety like me fr). And he has gotten into a few rough patches due to his fairness attitude. Not to mention he has the worst throw known in the 1800s. Which isn’t great when you have to use smoke bombs as the Ninja. But he’s able to compensate that with the “SmokeBomb Shooter” (it’s just a gun that shoots smoke bombs. That’s it)

In his civilian life, he works as a tailor. Technically as part time (more accurately as “piece work” wage) in order to balance Ninja Work and his family life. Speaking of which… he has a wife and child. Now, I’m aware this could infringe on Ninjanomicon rules to a great degree. However I counter with “what if a ninja had a kid during his cycle” and could not stop running with it.

So I introduce Oliver’s wife: Margaret Fowler

Yeah, she and Oliver are the same the age about. And did indeed find out about him being the ninja on their wedding day (before the ceremony no less) and by god that was a wild few hours to get through emotionally. Margaret is going: “what the fuck do you mean you’re the ninja?” Now Oliver is extremely aware of the danger of having his wife know about his identity. Don’t get me wrong. But he can’t exactly find a way to excuse himself out of this, so he kinda just… tells the truth. And he begs to not tell anyone else. Margaret, thinking this over and a long conversation with Oliver, agrees to not tell anyone and wants him to still try be apart of their life. She thinks she can handle four years of her husband being a ninja. Just as long as he still comes back alive.

Margaret is quiet and reserved. She prefers keeping to herself and away from the spotlight. Not to mention, she can firm and blunt when the situation calls for it. Sometimes she pulls her husband out of the patches he gets into. But when you get to know her, you find there’s a lot more than meets the eye. She is a friendly and gentle young lady that enjoys the small things in life. And she has great fondness for Oliver (as he does for her)((golden retriever and black cat couple lol))(((again, I suck at explaining personalities. So expect doodles)))

Unlike Oliver, Margaret comes from a wealthy family. And while she did have the opportunity to marry to a man of equal status, she prefers living in Norrisville. At least there is some pressure off there… until her comes for a visit

Which nows leads us to the baby: Abigail Fowler

Oliver’s and Margaret’s little Apricot. And a mini-ninja!

Okay, now this is definitely a doozy. So, it all started the summer after Abigail’s birth. Margaret suddenly became ill out of nowhere. And Oliver had no clue how or why. That’s when Margaret’s family came in. Seeing as Margaret would be too ill to care for Abigail and Oliver needing “better time to care for his wife” offered to take Abigail to their hometown. However, Oliver felt like this was way too coincidental. Maybe even planned… and that’s when he finds out about another enemy. An enemy like the sorcerer (not the sorceress, this one is ✨blue✨) is close by also looking into stanking victims and freeing the sorcerer. Oliver, who would rather have his wife kill him then let her family take Abigail into a possibly more dangerous situation, does the dumbest thing he thinks a ninja could ever do.

He makes a ninja mask replica. Albeit not a complete copy, due to having to use fill-ins for most of the material (considering some would be to dangerous to get ((tengu)) or inaccessible) with magic plantlife. While the side-effects left for weaker attacks, it got more buffed in defense. Which Oliver was more then okay with (we do not need a baby throwing around hydro hands). Ninjanomicon had mixed feelings/messages, so Oliver never knew if the book approved or disapproved. Margaret did tell Oliver he better keep their daughter safe and unharmed or the Ninjanomicon will be the last thing he sees (still prefers that than sending Abigail off). The biggest trouble? Explaining to the citizens of Norrisville how he got a baby.

But onto the lil girl. She is a bundle of joy and extremely energetic. And a little troublemaker. Both with and without the Mini Ninja Mask. She is also, of course, a baby reaching toddlerhood. While she can be a giggling bubble, she still has her moments of learning to live for the first time. Thank Ninjanomicon her Mini Ninja Mask protects her. Along with her Father’s parental instincts.

@trashisstillhere happy birthday!

I know I already sent you a happy birthday in your box, but I thought I’d try and draw you something. And what’s better than a birthday cake? A birthday cake made by the baby ninja!

She didn’t make the cake, she just decorated it

And there had to be a stank monster first thing

Of course Oliver knew how much of a bad idea this was. But he didn’t have enough time to think of a better solution. With his wife falling mysteriously ill and her family trying to take Abigail away: he knew deep down something was wrong. And he felt like the sorcerer was involved (somehow). And unfortunately he was right. But then came the next problem: how could he keep his daughter safe until he solves this? His wife is too sick, and he didn’t really have any other family he could trust.

So he did the next best and stupid thing. Ventured out for magical materials to create another ninja mask. He gathered many mystical plants and was able to convince a baku to share her fur. With all of it combined and help from allies, he was able to make a mask similar to the Ninja Mask. However, due to the main materials coming from plants the mask was not as powerful as the true mask. With it’s mystical attributes spent more on defense and protection.

God did being a tailor pay off greatly for Oliver. And with the replica mask, Abigail became Apricot the Baby Ninja. The only thing now that Oliver could hope for: the newest dilemma for the ninja ends quickly and he be forgiven for this risky decision

Buuuuuuut a common citizen of Norrisville doesn’t know about the ninja cycle nor ever think the ninja is a different person. As far as they’re aware, the 600+ year old ninja just showed up one day with an infant strapped to his chest. When questioned about it, his only response is: “I had a child.” And then he never expanded beyond that. And something like that definitely gets gossiped around, and especially gets put on the newspaper

Thus my attempt of a time accurate 1865 Newspaper

Not as time accurate as I would like, but I’m still okay with it. Also, it leads to a funny situation. Cuz after Oliver’s time is up, Apricot the Baby Ninja just vanishes. Never showing up because “I [Ninja] found a way to keep them safe at home.” And eventually Norrisville mostly forgets that the Ninja had a child.

Until Debbie Kang finds the old newspaper

I lost motivation to do lineart and proper coloring so messy doodles of Oliver holding Abigail during Ninja shenanigans
