Chapter Text
Hello! Yes. Me Again. With Another book. I have issues. Anyway, you pretty much know the drill by now. Read this if you want to- you don't have to but I recommend it.
Fanfiction is a Ninjago one, obviously, but it's going to be slightly darker than the TV show because- lets be honest here. They've got to have PTSD. They HAVE to. They're teenagers that saved the world a bunch of times. Yeah. They've got issues.
Anyway- if you want to read the complete tags go to Archive of Our Own, the fanfiction is under the same title and my username is in my Bio.
Alright. Lets get into it.
1.)
Alrighty. First off- I've just started watching Naruto, and while I have ideas for a crossover- This is NOT it. Yes, I took HEAVY inspiration from Naruto, but no. It is NOT a crossover.
Yes, she WILL be referring to the energy she uses as; Life energy, Chakra, and Chi interchangeably. I know that they have differences in real life- but for her clan culture they are one in the same. Also, she won't be doing the whole 'Jutsu' thing- it'll just be what she can do with her energy. Will it be similar? Yeah.
Also, be forewarned that I might use some sealing from Naruto as well. I just think sealing is really awesome- so yeah.
I'll also admit, I have no idea how to write her powers, so you're just gonna have to bear with me on this one. It might be awkward at first, but just hang in there as I get my bearings.
2.)
LOOOVVEEE INTEREST.
Okay. On the topic of love interest. Honestly, I have no idea.
I think I'll be leaning towards either Lloyd, simply for future factors, or perhaps Cole. Kai is also a possibility, but I want to keep him open because he's got a few things going for him and I don't want to break up an OTP if not needed.
So- on the topic of Love interest....we have no definitive love interest.
Just wanted to Forewarn y'all. If I do decide on one, you'll see it appear on AO3's tags and I'll make an announcement. I promise.
3.)
Alright. Now. The hard part....ages.
I have scoured the internet. Hours of research. Poured over everything little article.
AND!
Nothing. Well. That's not true. I've figured that they'll all still teenagers by Season 11, so that's something. (I won't even get into what that means for their mental stability yet)
Basically, what I figured was;
Season 4
Jay & Kai- Roughly 16/Maybe 17
Cole- 17/Close-ish to 18 (He's the oldest human Ninja)
Nya- 15
Lloyd- Also 15
Zane- He's a robot, I have no Fucking Clue. Best I can figure is his body is about 17 Years of age as well? But if we're going with Robot years, Probably like closer to 30-40 years. But I'm not going to puzzle myself over that.
Wu and Garmadon- 100s of Years Old. Not gonna worry about them.
Elemental Masters- Most of them I figure to be around their early to Mid 20s. MAYBE some might be in their 30s.
Skyler- Kai has a crush on her, so I figured she's probably their age. So I'm putting her at 16.
Morro-
Physical Age is definitely around 15/16. Mentality probably closer to a 40 year old to be honest. Which- weird. If you think about the whole possession thing.
.....Yeaaaahh- I try not to think about it too hard either.
That all I've got, and all we technically need for this book.
4.)
Clan Culture!
Okay. So I kinda just messed around a bit and tried to find what styles suited her. And...well....
I came up with;
-- Viking type clothing as regular wear.
-- Persian/Arabian style clothing as training/regular wear, but only sometimes. It can also be used as formal wear.
-- Slight Fantasy Element, especially for formal wear.
As for Clan Religion/Traditions;
-- Religion will be a mixture of Celtic and Japanese. Weird, yeah, but those are my vibes.
-- Traditions will be both made up, and slightly Japanese based.
5.) WARNINGS
-- Profane Language, because yeah. They're teenagers, constantly in life threatening situations, and they've got issues. Yes. They cuss. So does my OC.
-- No current Sexual Content, but in the future of the series? Perhaps.
-- Blood, gore, violence, torturing, fighting scenes, death, alcohol, mentions of drugs, etc. Pretty standard stuff.
-- Mentions of and scenes of depression, trauma, PTSD symptoms, mental breakdowns, and other mental issues.
-- This book gets kinda dark at some parts, especially since I'm taking a child's show and making it sorta realistic. And I mean sorta because how tf am I supposed to make flying Ninja realistic??? Yeah. No. Not gonna happen. I mean their mental states while all of this is happening, the trauma afterwards, grief, depression, etc.
You know. Stuff that is NOT in the child's show for a reason. Don't worry, it'll get better.... sorta. They are still teens.
