CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Raphael Hamato
Age: 15
Canon: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 cartoon)
Canon Point: Attack of the Mega Shredder (season 3 episode 21)
Character Information: Glorious wiki
Personality: Raphael is a hot-head teenager who exudes confidence and self-assurance to the point of prideful arrogance. He knows his own abilities and strengths and is constantly trying to surpass himself, to reach that next level. He wants—needs to be the best, but not just for personal satisfaction (though it would certainly seem so to an outside observer). No, Raphael's need to constantly stay at the top of his game comes from his fierce loyalty and dedication to his family and friends. He wants to support and protect them, and the only way he knows how to do that is through his skills as a ninja.
Unfortunately, sometimes this can manifest into arrogance. He doesn't just want to feel like a powerhouse, he wants to be seen as one. To be seen as infallible. If he feels like his brothers or Splinter see some flaw in him, it shakes his entire persona. We see this when his skills at dodging suffer while his brothers insult him as part of anger management training, and again when he tries to step into a leader role and ends up getting Mikey hurt—he practically freezes up entirely in that situation. He hates feeling like he's not good enough or strong enough to protect his family, and that fear leads to the overcompensating arrogance.
Raphael is also impulsive in many ways—usually aggressive since he's the hot-headed one of the bunch. He's especially quick to act in fights, taking the straightest, easiest path he can think of to beat his way to victory. When he's frustrated with his brothers, his first response is to lash out with an insult or fist. He's made progress over the course of the series to rein his temper it to a degree. When it counts, at least. He's still short tempered when it comes to being frustrated with friends and family, but he's better at not rising to the bait when enemies try to set his temper off in the middle of fights. Not perfect yet, but better.
Aside from all of that, Raphael is a sweet guy at heart. He cares about his brothers and isn't so hung up on appearances that he doesn't let them know that from time to time. He makes a point to tell Mikey he's great when he gets betrayed by a friend, thanks Leo for his actions as leader from time to time, tells Donnie how smart or great he is when he makes breakthroughs. There wouldn't be much point to fighting so hard for them if he didn't let them know it from time to time. He's also quite fond of animals and at one point even had a pet turtle of his own. It's also heavily implied that he's managed to train most of the pigeons around their home territory. Animals are just a quiet love of his.
5-10 Key Character Traits: Impulsive, violent, determined, fiercely loyal, animal lover, self-conscious, irritable, caring, family oriented, arrogant
Would you prefer a monster that FITS your character’s personality, CONFLICTS with it, or EITHER? FITS
Opt-Outs: Kelpie, Minotaur, nymph, Vampire, Gargoyle
Roleplay Sample: (based on the notion of Raphael waking up human in Ryslig)
[He's confused when he wakes up. More than confused, really. It isn't just that he doesn't recognize his surroundings at all, it's himself. Too many fingers and toes, and that weird tan shade of skin. It's almost like being trapped in that Kraang's body all over again, except this time there's no squishy pink alien inside a human-bot shell. Just . . . Just human. He was human.]
No way this can be real . . .
[He stares down at his hand as he flexes it, watching the slender pink fingers so different from his own thick green ones bend and stretch. Feels the way the pads of them brush against his palm. It drives home the reality of what's happened even if he still has no idea how it had come to pass. Had the same thing happened to his brothers? Were they around here somewhere? Would he even recognize them if they were?
He straightens even as the thoughts rush through his head, looking around with a troubled, frantic look for familiar flashes of colored cloth or, failing that, anyone else who looks as shaken up as he feels. They had to be around here somewhere, and he was going to find them. Grumbling softly under his breath, he starts forward.]
Don't worry bros. I'm comin'.
