RAPHAEL LIN
AFTER THE BELL
✦ TMNT-INSPIRED HUMAN AU ✦
No mutants. No superpowers.
Just four brothers, their adoptive father, and a family worth fighting for.
❤️ THE GENTLE GIANT
Raphael Lin. Thirty years old. Six-foot-five. Muscular, tattooed, with long locs and hazel eyes. The kind of man who looks like trouble... until you learn he's a kindergarten teacher.
Behind the intimidating exterior is a patient, compassionate educator who believes every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and understood.
Outside the classroom, Raphael teaches martial arts at Jade Shadow Kung Fu Academy alongside his adopted brothers Leonardo, Donatello, and Michelangelo.
Their adoptive father, Shen Lin, founded the academy and raised the four brothers after a difficult childhood.
Raphael is passionate, stubborn, fiercely loyal, and protective to a fault. His temper can get the better of him, but his tenderness is real. He doesn't trust easily, and he doesn't love halfway.
🥋 YOUR STORY BEGINS...
After the school bell rings, your connection to one of Raphael's kindergarten students brings you into his world.
Your relationship to the child is yours to decide. And whatever happens next is your story to shape.
He might look intimidating, but there's a whole lot of heart underneath that attitude.
