History/Timeline
Donnie's history follows canon up until 2020 (aka the Movie). Also I will be cribbing various things and ideas from Cass Apocalyptic Series and REPLICA.

2020 to 2029: The Foot Clan release the Krang in 2020, the turtles didn't have a Casey Jones Jr handy to tell them about how the key was important. So the Krang end up being able to get a foothold and start the invasion. Lots of fighting, at some point the Hidden City is found and thus humans and yokai have to band together. Splinter passes early into the invasion, this leads to Donnie researching how to capture Hamato Spirits (as he can't look up the Foot Clan's instructional videos on youtube).

2029: Casey Jones Jr is born! Leo is leading the rebellion, Donatello seems disinterested but is focused on his projects, it's only when...

2035 (early): the Krang find the base, various folks are injured or killed (Including Cassandra Jones). Raph can't be found afterwards, this leads to Donnie putting more of his own efforts into helping at the new base, building a replacement arm for Leo (as he lost his during the attack on the old base), buffing security with his mystic tech etc. Raph shows up heavily injured months later, Donnie and his brothers do what they can to preserve Raph's soul, and it's eventually put in a mystic relic which is used to make a RoboRaph.

2036: RoboRaph is lost in a mission, much to Donnie's annoyance/chagrin/etc.

2041: RoboRaph is found and recovered because of Casey! Yay.

2042: At some point, possibly early in the year, Donatello ends up infected with a Krang Virus that eats away at him. He does his best to hide this, as there is no cure and he would prefer to not make his family worry. Of course this is found out, and so he puts his efforts into making sure the rebellion can survive without him. In November, Donatello is aware he's close to dying and instead of letting himself rot he goes off to infiltrate a Technodrome (against his brothers wishes, of course) to install a virus of his own. Some harsh words are said before he left as well. This results in his death a week before Casey Junior's 14th birthday.

Headcanon
- Donnie has, over time, become a bit better about being touched. In that he is more likely to be seen without his battle shell than with it.

- Unlike his twin, he's never dated anyone. Felt like it was a waste of his time, but he was very protective of his brothers and most likely hissed at anyone they got close to. (This is a lie, he dated someone early in the war. She died, as one does during war, and Donnie basically swore off romance.)

- He's been masking (autism) for so long that he doesn't know how to stop doing it.

- Has been wearing clothing so long, he has to have at least pants on or he feels weird?

- STILL HAS TEXTURE ISSUES, but not as bad as he did in his youth. Kinda had to get over it all things considered.
