Imps Ocs - Tumblr Posts

Not Ninjago but I want to participate in this poll which means posting art of my OC so-

Meet Ace! He’s a chaotic ball of dramatic theatre kid and petty villainy, self-proclaimed “supervillain” of his school, and determined to bring some entertainment into the lives of depressed, overworked university students. He’s also head over heels for his roommate & best friend Kyle and hopes to impress him with his secret identity, “Mayhem” (as intentionally cliché as the name is). Can name every cartoon villain ever and has every monologue and witty comeback memorized. Longs for a superhero nemesis to duke it out with because he has the power to create short-range portals. A prankster and a prick (though never intentionally mean to those that don’t deserve it), he's got zero impulsive control and makes it everyone's problem. Can, will, and has flooded the office of people he doesn't like and put bubble bath in the school fountain. 

This is Jayden! He’s my OC stand-in equivalent of a Bizarro!MovieJay.

Basically, he’s a full-oni who lives in Onitoryū, a continent in the movieverse that is the equivalent of the First Realm (I hc’d that the realms were different continents in the movie long before Dragons Rising happened lol). He got kicked out of his pack because he can’t shape-shift properly (they took care of him when he was really young, but now that he’s the equivalent of a human teen, his lack of shapeshifting ability and changing times with Dragon Hunters and Imperial trade going crazy, he puts the entire pack in danger).

When Jayden shapeshifts, he still retains some of his oni properties— ex. he still has (a) smaller horn(s), his tail, his hands still have claws and a gradient effects, his teeth are still sharp, etc. He’d need the right blueprint to base his human form on to pass as human… and that’s where Blue (movie!Jay) comes in.

See, Jayden wandered Onitoryū on his own for a bit, then had a bad incident with a dragon (see: his broken horn and missing eye) and some Imperium Claws (see: the chain scar around his leg) and fled. He managed to find a port-town and sneak aboard a tourist ship using the excuse of his oni features as “fake costuming for Onitoryū”. Unfortunately, the same excuse wouldn’t work in the ship’s destination: the continent of Ninjago, specially the capital Ninjago City.

And so Jayden needed a new disguise, and along came the perfect one:

- Fluffy hair to hide smaller horns

- A big scarf to hide his teeth

- A big puffy hoodie that he can hide his tail under with a pouch pocket to hide his hands in

The only problem with using Blue’s form as a disguise (minus the social issues as one of Ninjago’s most hated, but Jayden is used to being treated as an outcast and never had any friends or relations before either) is that he’s quite a deal shorter (and has human anatomy to get used to) but otherwise he’s the perfect template.

So perfect, in fact, that Jayden ends up running into one of Blue’s friends and passing as Blue himself and not just someone who looks like him. Jayden gets a taste of friendship and it’s oh-so-addicting.

So logically, he does what any sane and normal person would do, and maybe-sorta-kidnaps Blue a little. Just for one day. In an empty warehouse not too far from the ninja base, which Jayden stocked full of supplies and blankets and other things. It was only supposed to be for one day, just so Jayden could live a day in Blue’s shoes, one day of friendship and loving parents and normal human activities.

But Jayden got hooked, and one day turned to two, and two to a week. The guilt is eating him up inside but he just can’t get himself to leave— he’s so affection-starved that the tiniest physical contact or verbal affection leaves him giddy. Good thing Blue is normally clingy, because Jayden is latched to the sides of each of his friends.

The thing is, depending on the timeline… most of Blue’s friends have ALSO been replaced by ‘bizarro’ equivalents of themselves. Red (Movie!Kai) was replaced with Kaigami, a nindroid (and bby bean) built by the Mechanic with no memories of being a fake or a nindroid. White (Movie!Zane) was replaced with Oread, a seagull-themed nindroid built by Garmadon’s enginerds. And Black (Movie!Cole) was replaced with Charcoal, a clone made by Vangelis of Shintaro.

So anytime “Blue” acts off, the suspicion on him by Cyan (Movie!Nya) and Green (Movie!Lloyd) is lessened by the fact that the other three OG4 members are also acting a bit off.

Eventually Jayden can’t take the guilt anymore and flat-out confesses instead of his earlier plan of simply letting Blue go and quietly vanishing. Blue, Cyan, and Green are mad of course, but Blue sees why Jayden did it (and sees that the kidnapping thing wasn’t malicious or evil, just an impulsive move by a very desperate and affect-starved traumatized oni) and accepts his apologies.

Jayden winds up adopted by Ed & Edna and lives a very happy life in Ninjago City— he also winds up dating Charcoal and Oread (Kaigami is much younger mentally so that’s a nope) and is the most cuddly bf ever.

Some bonus hcs:

- Jayden goes by (he/they) pronouns and isn’t opposed to using Neo pronouns either

- Poor guy is terrified of dragons from his bad experience, he can smell that Green is half-dragon (and half-oni) and totally thinks Green can smell he’s an oni back

- He purrs when happy— it sometimes has a bit of a chittering noise mixed in

- His tail is so long he can use it like a climbing rope when he climbs with his hooves— or get it slammed in doors easily

- His eye glows in the dark! Very terrifying to find him perched on the furniture of a dark room. When he’s disguised as Blue (or anyone with two eyes), his normally missing eye doesn’t work

- Once he gets a good bath, his fur becomes so fluffy and soft

- Human anatomy confuses him
