They’re all humanoid eastern midwest [Edit 7-6-19: I completely misidentified the kind of turtle but it’s fixed here] painted turtles. All of them have tails, claws, and can pull a nictating membrane (third eyelid) over their eyes to white them out during a mission (think 2012). They’re all fairly muscular (yes, even Donnie) due to their 10+ years of training. All of them can retract into their shells. Their carapaces are very dark green, plastrons are yellowish, and they have red markings from the edges of their shells to the sides (the plastrons and carapaces are connected like on a regular turtle). Their shells are flattish, due to their species. Because they’re turtles, their spines/torsos do not bend (looking at you, 2012). Their teeth are like an inner beak mixed with teeth. So, basically two large teeth, like the entire rows are one solid mass that’s wide in the back like molars and thin/sharp in the front like front teeth/canines. I know, kinda weird set up, but I over-science things. Plus, they sorta look like that in the 2012 cartoon. Speaking of, they have three-toed feet. They all have black and their color fingerless gloves and toeless socks (color is on the back of the hand and top of the foot). Their elbow and knee pads have black straps and the actual armor parts are in their color. All of their belts are in black with pouches in their colors for smoke bombs, shurikens, and their phones. Weapon sheaths and cloth grips are also in their colors. They only wear their weapons and masks while in the lair, not any of their other gear (not counting any clothing/accessories they wear). All of them have small scars on the back of their left hands and slightly larger scars just below their collar bones on either the right or the left.

Leo’s scaletone is very green (like 2012) and has yellow-golden eyes. He’s 5'9 and keeps his claws fairly short as he’s got body image issues. He hates that he’s a mutant and wants as few reminders as possible. His katanas are held in sheaths on the sides of his belt (one on each side). He has blue leather armbands with metal strips for armor [x]. He has a tiny, faint honeycomb (six hexagons connected) symbol on the back of his right hand.

Donnie’s scaletone is olive green (like 2k3) and also has yellow-golden eyes. He looks nearly identical to Leo, aside from being 5'10 and wearing different clothing. His claws are sometimes longer than necessary because he doesn’t like clippers and gets distracted from keeping up with grooming. His bo staff doesn’t have a shoulder strap to hold it, it has a loop on his belt. He has a purple armband on his left arm that he can slot his phone into. He usually wears grey wireless headphones at all times. Due to being near-sighted, he wears glasses. They’re big and boxy and slot into small slits on the sides of his mask (no ears). Sometimes he’ll wear a slightly oversized purple hoodie around the lair. He has a tiny, faint honeycomb (six hexagons connected) symbol on the back of his neck, around the base of his skull.

Raph’s scaletone is forest green and he has emerald eyes. He’s 5'2 and will attempt to stab you if you joke about his height. He’s the buffest of the four of them. He wears a set of black leather wristbands [x] and sometimes in the lair he’ll wear shirts of the shows and games he’s into. They’re all very large so they’ll fit with his shell. He has a tiny, faint honeycomb (six hexagons connected) symbol on his right shoulder.
