Sons of Silence ( TMNT A ) concept :: ' Chief Son ' ..by tOkKa

Sons of Silence ( TMNT A ) concept :: ' Chief Son ' ..by tOkKa

[[ All pending approval :: ]]

☻ ☺


" Eons ago in Dimension X, the suppressed legends of the Ozone creatures and their foreboding presence were purged from many inner and outer galactic data bases. Infamous warlords such as Krang and Cherubae further sought to avoid these legends and the "Ozone Creatures" as well, while the Creatures themselves represented neither " GOOD nor Evil " .. their presence ALWAYS had lead to a major event, crisis , or disaster. Any time the balance of power was to be shifted elsewhere, the Creature's third party presence mysteriously had a powerful hand in the outcome of any particular event. Usually to evil one's such as Krang, this spelled trouble ( tho' his blind arrogance would have never admitted as such..).

Times change and a universe dies, fabulous creations die, and the " Ozone Creatures " are indifferent either way. Curious as they are neutral, existing everywhere yet never having existed at all. Many had claimed they came from another dimension. Some blame the greatest Wars in the galaxy's history may have been strangely propagated by them. A massive attack on Earth by the "Invaders" in 1978 has also peen linked by a " Prestigious" few to these Greys.. the "Ozone Creatures".

A few times, they had been "Thought" out of existence .. but their presence has never left the no where's and the anywheres of any given existence into infinity.

The "Magic" of the Turnstone( s ? ! ) was also an object ( s ?! ) of massive, confusing, and overwhelming power. Countless lives in Dimension X and beyond were lost by a few corrupt individuals seeking the Sphere of such unlimited and untapped energy.

The creatures appearance during strife regarding the Stone was no mere coincidence. While their intentions during these appearances was terribly unclear by almost all. Their white light was often blinding and hypnotic. Some incidents, they'd seemingly by allied with many a great evil only to blur the alliance and disappear and reappear elsewhere with a totally different direction. The confusion within' their non-existence and their simultaneous existence has not ever been explained. Abductions, experimentation's , bizarre sightings and the unexplained.. the cryptozoologists and scientists of Earth have had a Field day with these creatures.

These ' Aliens ' have had such misadventures even to cross paths four mutant terrapin warriors.

Everything about them is nothing, it means nothing, and the Ozone Creatures prefer to keep it that way. Time means nothing, explanations mean nothing. They are pure white light. They do not exist yet you are breathing them in right now.

In 1990 A.D. .. A - one Mary Bones dubbed these creatures The Sons of Silence for obvious reasons. To give them a name was also to give them a face in this Dimension. They never say a word but you can hear everything they say, their wisdom is infinite and know only to themselves .. yet they can but they can but their infinite wisdom inside your head. (( Perhaps those voices inside yours are something else entirely. ))

Reluctant they could be if they cared or knew what caring was.

Another face of their collected but unidentifiable faces was a face that had been there before time existed, before Dimensions existed. With them always but watching, overseeing, perhaps directing, but mostly observing.. a leader but not. Shamanistic and female in form .. but neither of these :: The Chief Son.

She is Representative of some of seeming authority, yet her presence is very similar to that of her fellows. Equal.

Tho' there is a distinct and aged scent .. as if a slight burning, something not quite dead nor living. A strong scent of water soft and at the same time overwhelming. Her light is greyer than that of the other Sons, she is warm to the eyes yet distant and cold to the touch. Distinct from the other creatures for she seems to wear ancient, flowing robes with haggard baubles dangling from the collar and gown. Her stance and gape as she moves, unlike the " Floating and Flowing " of her brethren could almost be seen as humanoid, tho' she phases in and out in mists and in trillions of ultraviolet colors invisible to the human eye's spectrum. He ' skin ' is worn down almost a skeleton. If she was to know the concept of time, she'd be much older than it. While she could be defined as a ' She ' ..from a people that know no definitions, she is neither male or female.

Her most distinguished trademark is her ' Walking stick '. The cane she wields. Above the collar and handle of the cane is a place-holder. In this holder floats what appears to be a Turn Stone, tho' it is unclear if this is actually the famed Turn Stone of old, a facsimile or copy, or something else. Still.. the item hold great intrigue as it appears to be in the possession of the elderly "Alien".

Perhaps this isn't even her true form. It could be possible this is just the form she chooses to appear as in this version of a so-called ' Dimension '. This to is all meaningless to the Sons. But it is what it is ( as much as it isn't ).

Her rare presence has rumored to only seen and felt by creatures of physical plains of reality and in dimensions when an overload of cataclysmic events is about to happen in some space of "future" time. Great emergencies, and and the arising of great evil.


A chaotic Oni know as The Maddnezz and his harassment of a Lost Invader on Earth has made his twisted evil known to the Sons.

The Sons of Silence :: .. their enigma is many things ..but within the confusion and mystery they exude. It could almost be defined as Schizophrenic.

Very soon, their presence will be revealed for the very first time to one who perhaps may be one of their own, the schizophrenic alien known as the The Spaze Caze.

Early Sons of Silence ( TMNT A ) concepts **

Early Sons of Silence ( TMNT A ) concepts ..by tOkKa

♦ ♦



-->> .. the neutrality and obscurity with these characters is something i'm trying to preserve.

While devised in form in a common 'pop- culture esque ' view of the Gray Alien phenom of cryptozoology and lore.. the visage is a familiar to so many.

However ..the Sons of Silence maintain a particular ( if not obscure ) and specific role in the TMNT mythos.

While that role has sometimes been unclear, that often was the whole point.

Within' their neutrality, their extra ordinary existence .. and their odd role in the TMNT Adventures books .. there is a certain ' Flat - line ' i am trying to represent as far as keeping their original incarnations intact.

The challenge is by allowing for a certain amount of personality ..just a touch, i hope i am not disturbing their initial character traits and their intended purpose within' those now classic mythos.

I consider them, while very much secondary characters in TMNT.. .. very unique in their own way and important.

..I mean they weren't in those stories ' JUST FOR SHOW ' or cuz they looked eerie or cool.

Altho' ..they are eerie and cool.

.. how invaders are born ?! :: B


Young Fear and the Unworldly ..

-->> .. artist Ted Seth Jacobs  , as i would learn painted the cover to Whitley Strieber's famous  "non-fiction" account of his encounter with extraordinary non-human life.

Images like these burned into my skull as a kid. Local book book sellers of coarse had these best sellers on the front rows of their stores and the visage of the now commonly know  Zeta or ' Grey ' aliens. Now a common staple in science fiction and popular culture across various medias .. at the time, my unfamiliarity with the image was actually very frightening. While i'm unclear if it was initially Strieber's book or one preceding it that  first had the image of these Greys first introduced to my eyes ..Strieber's book had a cover that was particularly realistic and disturbing for me when i was younger. The neutral look of the somewhat humanoid rendition really did pierce me and haunted me years to come.

One time i recall some reception or store opening regarding a ' GREY ' themed book. Again i am unsure if it was for Strieber's book or not. The author might even have in attendance at the store. This was a book shop we often frequented with my mom downtown.  With a large childrens' section and even a play area, my mom was never intimidated to take us there. Give away items during this book event included buttons with the image similar to the one above promotng the book.  My mom grabbed a number of them and gave them to me.  How was one to react from such a ' gift ' ??  Compulsive as she was .. i guess as it was an afterthought.  I am unsure what ultimately became of the little buttons.. tho i recall taking them home and laying them out staring at them but equally frightened at the vacant look at the otherworldly illustration.  I may have destoyed the buttons.

This above item i've been relatively silent about, but the ' Grey ' issue in the future would actually be cause for allot of trauma and be something used against me.

Very impressionable i was, fearful, gullible.   Some family members used this to their advantage for the use of humor or to hurt me.  While i lived on this fringe and very much things like monsters and dinosaurs .. my confusion about the unknown was nightmarish.  Issues involving death.. the uncertain aspect of these things everyone must face at some point were instilled in me as early as 4 or 5 years of age.  Again, more mixed - messages from a Mixed Roman Catholic, Fundamentalist upbringing .. Heaven, and Hell became equally as frightening to me. Jesus eventually became a Boogey Man .. in time i'd abandon Established Christian based Religion altogether.

Sureal as my life has become, elements of things i was exposed to make me question if the visions and things i've experienced ..as real as they may have seemed may have actually been exaggerated by  the illness in some form or another.  I don't deny interest in cryptozoology and the paranormal. Obviously so much has influenced my work. Those things and influences in things like Japanese mythology have helped me hang onto these aspiring ideas and helped me create many characters and things of my own. And to help me tell larger than life stories that even i am perplexed sometimes that i am able to tell.

Maybe there is an element of truth to the now countless tales of extraterrestrial beings. Fascination with old films such as 'Close Encounters' and E.T. almost made me wish there really was an experience i could have had much more pleasant than the visions i had.  Widely considered a mad person, perhaps the truth lies with' the cracks of my reality .. or maybe the truth will not ever be known.

The real truth is , i want to know the TRUTH about my illness.. because things i have witnessed and experienced since i was young just don't make any fucking sence.


 
Visions                                                                                                                                                       

I don't talk  about them much because i don't like to .. it provides more fuel for fodder by others to use against me.

Visions of tigers and creatures of varying degrees of color and size, deformation, and construction are so normal for me ..   i may not ever know what  to expect .. but i don't find them frightening .. and they are as normal as the air people breath and the buildings people go into or whatever. Depending on the severity of my mood , stress, anxiety .. what have you ..it has been speculated even by me that the intensity of the visions also increases. Sometimes they do become incredibly illogical and scary. I deal with them as i can. No one has ever been able to help me with this, and sometimes they are cause or concurrent to the nervous breakdowns. Sometimes they aren't there at all. It's very challenging to discuss, and even harder to deal with. Well i try tho'.

Visions and auditory sounds were also common as a kid.  While i  think the car accidents only increased these effects,   the things i've witnessed are not new.

With multiple doctor visitations neurologists, psychologists, and psychiatrists, mixed amounts of heavy medications.. i've never been fully sure what to say about visions from when i was younger. What if the medications helped the visions is some way ? ?  I don't know. At one point i was taking between 8 - 16 pills  in any given day. I've known people who took much more medication than i had in the coarse of a day, so maybe i actually was lucky.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures" #49.. cover art by Chris Allan & Ryan Brown [[ Sons of Silence & Donatello ..]]  (( 1993 ))

Whatever the case, as a teenager seeing things in the dark, moonlit crevisces of my mom's home and the houses i'd stay at similar to the effect of these Grey creatures made me continually on edge.

Seeing 'flying aspirins ' on the higher levels of the hospital my mom worked at, outside the building's windows on the 14th floors and such were very odd to me.

Advances on what appeared to be groups of these creatures and on my hikes in the sunlit hilly areas by my mom's house, visions of dead - like Grey bodies were things i'd swear were so real to me and would wrestle my mind and my reality so much. My sanity ??   Some have stated that i have none.

Sometimes i believe they may be right.

Whatever i was witnessing during my teen years, i should have kept to myself. Over and over again this was used as something i was questioned with. People either addressed me insultingly or as if i was a feeble child when these visions came up. i so wish i had kept it all to myself.



My mom had always liked talk radio. In particular .. the late night show of 'ART BELL' ...the former main host of Coast to Coast .  His show was on late at night. It held her interest during her late nursing jobs and i think it always sparked her imagination in good and bad ways. Overtime ..for a period of over 7 years she even got  me hooked on the show and i bought into  ( that gullible nature i had ) so much of it. This too kept me on edge over so much  more. After a number of years i lost interest .. but whatever the case..
in time .. .. my mother would claim that i too was ' ABDUCTED ' like some of the horror stories she heard on Art Bell's radio show.

Again ..  this was used against me even in doctor's visits and i'm left beyond frustrated and with ZERO credibility as everyone had depicted me as ' CRAZY ' .. ..

I think at this point because i am an adult  and trying to figure out their causes and sources of my mind's issues, the visions or hallucinations, whatever they are ..  .. it has bothered some doctors somewhat. I am conflicted with medication .. and every type of intervention available and for the most part try to handle these issues on my own as much as i can anymore. So many times they wanted to know ' WHAT ' i was seeing .. but never to help me eradicate it. They rarely paid attention to the physical trauma inflicted to my head by all the beatings and poundings made on me by the impacts of those blows or the concussion caused by the car accidents. Most of the time it was brushed off or the doctors would shrug their shoulders and tell me that i had ' SOMETHING' ..but they didn't know. Answers were and remained nil.

Some of this is the source of the pain i feel internally, some of i find ludicrous as to have it as part of my history. Some of it is pure frustration. Some of it has also caused me need destroy this mind, set up emergency situations sent me to the psych wards & dubbed Crazy.

..some of these issues of an impaired mental health also caused ..thru' frustration, anger, mutilation,  and desperation ..

.. caused  me to step on a spike of some inspiration..
