█████ "Bones" ████ // he/they/she // 22 y/o

Spent the latter part of their teenage years in an ambiguous corpogovernmental laboratory as 283-G, the last remaining subject for a secret experiment aiming to fuse Marowak DNA to a human. This wasn't entirely successful, since all Bones was left with was a not insignificant amount of trauma and some select Cubone features. Since escaping around two years ago, Bones has returned to the city and carved his way in the world as a 711-cashier-slash-food-blogger-slash-hitman.

Bones has done his best to leave their past behind her, but it's getting harder to avoid things now an old friend (?) has shown up needing help and a place to stay.

notes

• Bones is the character featured in the foreground of this website's background! --->
• He's staring wistfully at his ex-roommate who they totally don't have a crush on. i promise.
• Has an impossible Australian accent.

Rig // he/she // 17

Rig grew up in Octo Valley under the leadership of DJ Octavio, and until it's collapse was well on her way to a stable career in maintaining the domes' agricultural irrigation systems -- not the advanced weapons development he'll try to make you believe.

Now living on the surface with a rudimentary understanding of mechanics, zero fear of water and passion for experimentation, Rig offers her services to Anarchy competitors looking for something a little less traditional in their weapons. Though she can make a wide variety of weapon mods (which will often be applied randomly), his specialty is giving players an auxiliary water tank, which will splat opponents instantly at the cost of unrefillability and less space for ink.

notes

• Despite everything, her older sisters are very proud.
• Officially banned from turfwar for taking a "NEWBIES! jump in the water" a little too enthusiastically
• Wears fake Tenya Octoreds. (they're Tonyo Octoranges)

Tackle // she/her // 20

Prior to moving to the surface, Tackle was part of an elite Octarian squadron, but nowadays lives in a big city on the surface. While Tackle does have a civilian job as a receptionist, she hasn't put down their trusty Squiffer down one bit. She's found a passion in Turf War and Anarchy Battles, and made a name for herself as one of the highest ranked players in the area.

notes

• Frequently forgets to draw in the dash to her eye markings in the morning.
• Helps Rig test out new weapons.
• She's trying to get back in contact with her old squadmates!

Quip // they/them // 25

While they rose to a high rank among DJ Octavio's elite octoling forces, after the fall of Octo Valley Quip has left their Splatling behind. Now having reached the surface with their younger siblings, they're studying in Inkopolis university in the hopes of finally getting their research paper on pre-Great Turf War Octarian history done.

• Voted "most likely to be sanitized in a subterranean testing facility in the pursuit of perfection"
• They and Rig are both massive DEDF1SH fans, but always argue about which songs are best
• Still in touch with Tackle and Rig, even though they've both moved to Splatsville in search of further freshness.

I think way too much about this game for someone who almost never plays it. I suck at making meaningful decisions and also sensing assassins :(
