    Not for nothing, but that would be a response more appropriate for Michelangelo

      Indeed. As I understand it, Raphael is cool, but rude. But I hear Michaelangelo is a party dude.

      I cannot confirm these speculations with certainty, however.

        I have it on good authority that Leonardo leads. Allegedly, Donatello does machines but that trial is still ongoing…

          Is there any indication or data pertaining to what will happen when the evil Shredder attacks?

          My research is also ongoing.

            Best I can surmise is that, in the event that the turtle boys cut him anything, slack will not be amongst it.

      I think the response is an edit, in the original Raph stays quiet.

      A, kinda ironically for this post, this whole scene happens because Raphael is against Turtles teaming up with Batman because he thinks Batman is a rich guy who fights crime as a hobby and doesn’t take it seriously and Batman JUST COULDN’T THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO CHANGE HIS MIND!

    Assuming Batman is another PC, it could be that player overestimating. And also being as uncreative af because Batman’s backstory is a standard part of the Junior Edgelord Unhappy Meal character design package.

    My artificer paladin is explicitly Batman. My group hasn’t figured it out yet. 🤣

    There is no underestimating. There is only everybody else overestimating.

    Not sure if it’s at all relevant here, but this reminded me of a character for a one-shot (more like a side-story to a long-running campaign) that I made. He had a pretty serious and “edgy” backstory: his parents died when he was very young and was taken in by his grandfather. After the grandfather died, he was passed off along several relatives until he found himself in an orphanage, where he eventually became too old for it, and went on to be an adventurer.

    However, the character was modeled on Pico of Boku no Pico (and its other sequels). I gave him polearm mastery (because, long and pointy things), and I wanted him to carry a “pike” but for more practical reasons, I just gave him a halberd. Continuing on with the extended joke of a character, I have him have a height of over 6 feet, and a bulky, well-built body (out of a lifetime of manual labor, ofc). And to top it all off, I played him as a sweet innocent boy, liking ice cream and being huggy and an overall bundle of joy to be around.

    Not everyone in the table got the joke, but the look of the faces of those who knew, priceless! It did play quite decently though, which is a huge bonus.

      Boku no Pico is a shotacon hentai, the pike is his penis, for the people blindly upvoting your extreme cringe and open pedophilia references.

        Well, what can I say? I’m as cringe as you say I am. Tell me more about myself.

        The joke was that for those who knew about it, it’s downright disgusting, as you’ve very graciously pointed out. Also, the pike is an attempt at a pun. I actually didn’t think of it being phallic until you pointed it out, so, thanks!
