TMNT OC: Giotto

Just felt like making a decent profile pic for this lil dude, even though I still don't know how I'm gonna use him xDD I really don't know why I make this kind of FCs, they're so not original and useless. But I really like to make kid OCs and I had this interesting turtle design, so... Giotto came out xD

You may have already seen him in *Angi-Shy's comic strip here (if you haven't I suggest you to take a look at it, it's pretty funny), that's 'cause for now I've only used him in roleplays. But I really like to draw him too, sooo hopefully you'll see him more often xD

Name: Giotto (if you can't figure out why I called him like that you are really disappointing me)
Age: 9 years old in human age
Species: Mutant Turtle
Weapon: nothing for now, but he likes to throw shurikens and ninja stars
Family: /
Friends: the ninja turtles (but mostly Mikey xD), April
Enemies: the Kraang, the Foot Clan but mostly Jack the Ripper ( [link] ) for reasons that will be explained later xD

It took a while for me to come up with his backstory, at first I wanted him to be a lil boy who unfortunately stumbled upon the Kraang with his pet turtle and got mutated, but then I was like "nope, he's gonna be THE pet turtle! 8I" sooo yeah, he and his lil master stumbled upon the Kraang, who caught the boy and while he tried to get free, some mutagen fell on his pet turtle. When Giotto wakes up, finding himself mutated, his lil master and the Kraang are gone. So after meeting the ninja turtles, he decides to be a ninja too, to avenge his missing friend or to save him, if he's still alive. And from that moment the turtles could never get rid of him xDD

UPDATE: soo I talked to *Angi-Shy and we got some cool ideas for Giotto that made me change his backstory... so here it is xD
Giotto's real name was Benjamin. He was an orphan human kid and he used to live in an orphanage, his only friend being the orphanage's pet turtle Shelly (don't get fooled by the name, it was a boy turtle xDD). He was called Giotto by his teachers because he really liked to draw, and was pretty good at it. After seeing in the TV news that the police found shurikens in New York, he started to fantasize about becoming a ninja, but of course there wasn't much he could do in there xD
One day, the other kids made fun of him more than usual, calling him a weirdo because he dreamed to be a ninja and he only talked to a stupid turtle. So that night he decided to escape from the orphanage, taking Shelly with him.
When he finally got outside and he was wondering in the city, he unfortunately stumbled upon a group of Kraang, that were moving some mutagen in a dark alley. Thinking that they were just regular gangsters, he had the bad idea that he could prove his courage by beating them, so he came out to them and tried to attack them. Of course it didn't end well for him, and in the fight a canister of mutagen fell on him and his friend turtle. Giotto woke up by the sounds of a battle going on between the ninja turtles and the kraang: it was the first time he saw them, but there would have been many others in the future xD He still kept hiding from them until he became used to his new mutated appearance, and when he finally met them he asked them to help him become a ninja too. Of course it took him some time to be accepted by them, but luckily Mikey treated him as a little brother from the beginning xD



Sooo yeah, he's basically the turtles' lil stalker/apprentice/lil bro they never asked for C: xDD and he's adorable okay
