As part of my revamped season 4: Tournament of Elements, I decided to moderately increase the age rating through swearing, violence, and power scaling. Here are my swearing HC's because I think it's best if I didn't go overboard and tried to keep it kind of in character.

Swears like a sailor: Mr. Pale. I have no reason, I just think he should be allowed to drop numerous curses. He especially likes doing it when people are already riled and he's invisible, he gets giggles from it.

Edit: Im so sorry for forgetting turner, he's in here now

Swears a normal amount: Chamille, Neuro, Gravis, Ash, Karlof, and Turner

Chamille, Neuro, Gravis, and Karlof I feel are self explanatory, they deserve swearing privileges but still think Mr. Pale is excessive

Ash on the other hand, because in canon, and I think just in general doesn't talk much

Turner swears a normal amount, he just says it really fast in sentences and no one hears, but they're in there

Get the occasional "fuck": Tox, Skylor, and Shade

I know Tox and Shade seem like the type to swear a lot, but I tend to believe if they wanted to be threatening or express their anger, they would make actual threats and follow through.

Skylor doesn't swear much because of her father, he doesn't like it when people on the island swear, but she gets away with it, but genuinely finds using creative insults to wield better results

Rarely swears: Bolobo and Jacob

Bolobo because he's the Master of Nature, he practices meditation, tries to be at peace with himself. He also believes actions speak louder than words; so if you do something bad to the environment with him nearby, he won't swear at you but he will try to break your bones and make you a part of nature as fertiliser

Jacob purely because he doesn't like the sound of swear words on his ears, as Master of Sound, he's a bit more sensitive to how words feel but when needed, he'll use them

Don't swear: The Ninja, Garmadon, Master Chen, Pythor

The Ninja because in their minds Lloyd is still like 12, I have no idea how old he is in canon but they don't want to set a bad example

Garmadon is for the same reason as the Ninja but he's also telling Lloyd there are times and places were swearing is needed, and others where Tox and Shade's philosophy about threats should be utilised

Master Chen as I said with Skylor, he doesn't like it and is also a subscriber to the Tox and Shade philosophy

I wanted so badly to give Pythor swearing privileges but then I rewatched season 4 for scientific purposes and found

"Culturally-Insensitive Noodle Baron"

to be too great to cover with petty swearing and I think makes Pythor so much more of a character

"Swears": Lloyd

So, Lloyd "swears" in the sense he says 'crap', 'mother trucker' and swears a lot in the name of the First Spinjitsu Master. He technically 'swears' but not really, because again, I think he's 12 but I'm probably wrong in saying that.

Morro - Lloyd Garmadon's emo cousin and a college student who is kind of in a gang that commits a few crimes here and there, which is fine because people already assume he's evil for being related to Lloyd

Skylor - She inherited Chen's Noodle fortune after her father went to prison under mysterious circumstances. Has the best cooking in home ec class. It's even better than Zane's. She and Nya are an unstoppable duo in gym class

Griffin Turner - He's the substitute gym teacher at Ninjago High that everyone has a love-hate opinion of because he always, always makes everyone run a mile and doesn't let anyone get away with slacking, but he's also funny and somehow pretty chill

Karlof - Owns a popular metalworking shop and is a part-time substitute shop teacher at Ninjago High. Nya and Jay are his favorite students

Neuro - He's a defense lawyer. He's always able to call a bluff, and it never fails to frustrate the opposing counsel

Shade - She's a professional private investigator. One of the reasons that he's so good at his job is that no one can EVER spot him

Camille - She's a professional special effects makeup artist who always does the best onscreen effects

Krux - He's basically Ricky Geravis' character from Night At the Museum but a lot angrier, and also seconds away from firing his brother. Death glares at anyone on their phone

Acronix - He's a security guard at the museum who is always playing on his phone too loudly. Would have been fired several times over if his brother wasn't the curator

Bolobo - He's an environmental activist who may or may not have committed some minor crimes against major oil and energy corporations

Tox - She's a pharmacy manager who is very obviously into some shady stuff, but the rest of the staff turn a blind eye to it because she's the most knowledgeable person there

Jacob Pevsner - He owns a music studio next door to Dareth's dojo. Has banned Dareth from going anywhere near the music equipment

The Elemental Master of Sound!

he’s so silly and should have gotten more screen time. I hope I did him justice :3

Alsooo I think he would like the Beatles :D (oh and can anyone tell me what his instrument is?)

Thanks you the ask <3

I've extrapolated that Shade being "a normal guy" to mean that he's somewhat boring once you look past the Elemental stuff. Probably eats something flavorless for breakfast everyday, works a boring but well paying office job like billing in a mid size company, that sorta stuff. Probably has a boring hobby too, like stamp collecting and reading novels about ships

We know that Cinder is related to Ash in some capacity, but I like to think that regardless of what that is, Cinder is probably part of the reason why Ash is hesitant to go all in on the Assassin family business. The kid is WAY too eager for that and as a possible successor, Ash doesn't wanna get him involved in such a violent profession. But then the Merge hits, Ash and most of the family dies, and Cinder is left with the Elemental Power of Smoke and joins the Wolf Clan to fulfill his dream of being a top assassin.

Gravis seems like the kind of guy to use Tai Chi. Not to fight, just to get in the right headspace for stuff.

Griffin definitely does pizza delivery or door-dash or something. Works multiple delivery jobs at the same time. Gotta keep up the grind in West Haven!

Thanks to his former Aeronautical job and some very smart investments, Karlof is quite wealthy. That comfortable nest egg is why he was able to follow his passion and become a teacher

Tox likes to offer a small drinks discount to Elemental Masters whenever they visit the Rockshot Club, just so they have a reason to visit and catch up. Except Paleman, he goes WAY too overboard with the drinks and wakes up in the alleyway dumpster the next afternoon

Neuro really used to enjoy chess and was close to becoming a grandmaster in his youth, but after gaining his Elemental Power he lost all passion for the game. Winning isn't fun when you can read your opponent's mind

Jacob secretly really enjoys signing things for fans of his, but because he is blind rarely anyone ever asks him. His signature is just indecipherable squiggles

Bolobo is often mistaken for Bigfoot by hikers and campers due to his hairy body and natural kinship with forest critters

Shade: Yeah he's pretty average once you actually get to know him hjgfdhgfdsgfds. Part of the reason he blends in so easily into the shadows is because he's literally not doing anything to draw attention to himself. I can totally see him being a stamp collector hgfdhgfdsfds. The flavorless breakfast is so brutal tho lmao (tho I imagine Obscuria would tease him relentlessly for it in the future)

Ash: Okay well when you phrase it like that, Cinder being like an overzealous apprentice (slash nephew?) to Ash in the assassin business is an incredibly appealing idea (and more easily lends to why Cinder is such a...brutal individual. lmao). Somehow this alone has made Cinder 75% more fascinating to me, thanks!

Gravis: I can see this, he's zen enough for it

Griffin: PIZZA BOY GRIFFIN (cue even more rivalry with Jay hkgfdghfds) Love him working odd jobs as a side to his athletic career

Karlof: YES (Karlof just also love being able to pas on his passions to the next generations <3)

Tox: Another hc I have for her is that she ALSO moonlights (or daylights?) as a tattoo artist and is the one to give Jesse his tattoo in the future asdfhjkjhgfds

Paleman: Him wracking up a tab with Tox is a hilarious image lmao (and I do hc them as having some kind of mixed-up history)

Neuro: Thus, he enjoys playing chess with Zane on weekends, due to Zane technically not having a 'mind' to read (and it's actually a decent challenge to do mental wits against a robot with a soul). Maybe he wears a pinch of Vengestone to dampen his powers in order to get back into chess again? Or just for other non-mind reading purposes

Jacob: hgfdsghfdsgfd nooo I imagine he learns the specific motion to at least make his initials, which is about as closest to a proper signature he'll get. I also imagine he exchanges autographs with Jesse and that's how they begin to become friends
