Basically the premise is what would happen if the turtles were raised in a lab? By Baxter Stockman?

Answer: Angst. Lots of angst. And an excuse to make Donnie the oldest and Leo the youngest HAHAAAAAA

aHEM

The main storyline is that Baxter Stockman has been mocked by the scientific community after his outlandish theory of creating mutants out of normal animals (in his defense, there was no way to prove it without violating some sort of ethical law).

So he went into hiding and created his family. The perfect family. One that was as smart as him, but would finally give him his well deserved praise for his inventions and his endeavors. He chose turtles. Bought them from a store. He always liked them.

I present:

BSMT

Baxter Stockman’s Mutant Turtles

Translation in case you can’t read my sorry excuse of handwriting

Donnie

Based off of ‘03, ‘19, and ‘87

The best at ninjutsu (according to Stockman)

Yes I said it

Wears goggles at all times because he works with Baxter Stockman a lot and the ✨autism✨

Pretty good with kids

Actually his affectionate side is something to be said for

(Also Raph’s but don’t tell him I said that)

But don’t get me wrong this guy is a ✨gossip✨

He and Raph are the ✨gossip✨ queens

And has that older sister sassy glare almost all older siblings have

He teaches a very eager Leo ninjutsu, but will often ramble on the physics of a certain move like a Ted Ed narrator, which is not good for a child with ADHD

Raph

Based off of ‘87, ‘12, and ‘18

Used to be a pretty emotional kid who was prone to outbursts, but Baxter often “chastised” him for that, so now he’s very logical with his anger and only lets it out at certain times when he feels like he’s safe

Sarcastic and rude but hoo boy only the rats will know what happened to you if you dare lay a hand on his brothers

Very good at cooking, mask tails burnt off in a cooking accident 

Will tease but won’t dare hurt his brothers

When the family is finally with Splinter he secretly practices Japanese poems (like haikus) and calligraphy with him

Just develops a love for writing poems in general to help deal with his anger in healthy ways, unlike just bottling it and keeping it down in their times with Stockman

Also he becomes a lot more chaotic when he doesn’t have to be as quiet and composed around Stockman. He and Leo love to team up for pranks

Mikey

Based off of ‘87 (do I spy a pattern?)

Just very chill

Likes to listen to lofi and Bossa Nova

Ties his bandana lopsidedly because of course

Reads Calvin and Hobbes with Donnie, magazines with Raph and manga with Leo

The “face man” of the group

Pretty good with talking to people (him and Donnie, although it’s Mikey that craves being social)

Very good sharpshooter

The one guy who will side with Donnie at all times whenever the younger siblings are doing shenanigans (PBJ duo fr fr)

Because he’s the empath he hates fights and will usually try to stop them

Twins with Leo!

Leo

Based off of Rise and Calvin and Hobbes

AuDHD

Very chaotic

He and Mikey have the same mask lengths due to them being twins but Leo manages to tie his correctly

Likes to cosplay sci-fi superheroes like Captain Kirk and Spaceman Spiff (the whole fam is fans of Calvin and Hobbes since Baxter Stockman is too)

Despite being the youngest he’s actually very good at ninjutsu with his katanas

Bro is a force to be reckoned with

Very good at pranks

Also yearns to know what’s outside their lab, which causes problems with Baxter Stockman’s rule to never go outside the lab

Bonus image: excuse the monkey arms on this unfinished drawing of my twins I just got started doing art of anthropomorphic turtles
