These are cool! Love the looks of this! Such a fun au!

A hat under waters-NPCs! Some funky fellows.

[hailstormchase]

Babies, they look cute! I should try doodling squids, octos, and cephlopods too!

Starting off the overhaul with squiddies! (And octopi too!)

[hailstormchase]

These are cool! Also, I find it interesting how a lot of people either have 2 new/neo agent 3s, or their neo/new is slightly fuzzy. Meanwhile, I have 2 agent 8s and my neo ain't that fuzzy.....though she is a bit feral.

And the redesigns of the agents are done!! As you can see there is one new addition, a second New Agent 3 The extra info from the separate posts are all below the cut-

Captain 3

Adam joined the NSS purely because he wanted to help and be seen as useful. Not be cast aside like he was with his parents for his twin sister. Agent 4 is actually Adam's younger sister (not his twin) the pair have a funny relationship, on the surface they don't seem to get along but the pair do genuinely care for the other. As much as she annoys him, Adam adores his little sister. He has been through... a lot... His time in the Metro is probably the most traumatising both mentally and physically, due to his scaring Adam suffers from chronic pain. Generally he is able to deal with the pain- it's there but on good days he can ignore it, bad days it's hard for him to do anything. The scaring has also caused him to become visually and audibly impaired on his right side. Adam's fight style is that of punching (mainly due to his anger issues), despite his slim build he is quite strong. He works as a freelance DJ though sometimes he'll join his twin sisters rank team for the extra money. Adam is dating Agent 8, after Agent 8 confessed his feelings to him some time after Octo Expansion. Generally Adam gets along with both Neo Agent 3 and New Agent 3, they remind him a lot of himself and sisters as kids.

Agent 4

Camri is the younger sister of Captain 3, it was complete coincidence that Marie recruited her as Agent 4. Her swim form is genuinely tiny, it's unknown why but she is kinda insecure about it and doesn't like to show it off. Camri was not always arrogant and stand-offish, when she first joined she was quiet and nervous. Being around Marie allowed her to open up, becoming the Agent 4 we (annoyingly) know today. Camri's fight style isn't well known by others due to the fact she will avoid fighting if and when she can (which is ironic considering how often she tries to start fights) The reasons for this is partially because she's lazy but also because she wants to hide her actual skill and strength- she likes to remain unpredictable. Her and Agent 8 are roommates and best friends. She used to work for Grizzco (key words used to until the whole bear in space thing) but now she works along side Agent 8 for Ammo Knights. Camri and Captain 3 don't usually see eye to eye (like the fact she refuses to call him "Captain") but the pair do genuinely care for each other. Camri looks up to her older brother more than she'd like to admit. The New/Neo Agent 3's have very different opinions about her, Neo Agent 3 dislikes her- finding her arrogant and lazy but New Agent 3 admires her- wishing to be as strong and carefree. Also random fun fact- Camri is immune to hypnosis.

Agent 8

Eight comes from a large family back in Octo Canyon, he's the youngest of eight however he doesn't really remember any of his siblings- at least not faces or names. He ran away which is how he came across Captain 3 (Agent 3 at the time) and ended up in the Metro together. The Metro was traumatising for Eight but at least he had (Captain) Agent 3 (and others) with him while down there. Eight does in fact remember his name; "Octavius" however he doesn't like being called such and prefers to go by "Eight" (Captain 3 is the only one aware of his name) Eight's fight style is stealth based, he prefers to sneak and get the upper hand. Eight is roommates with Agent 4 and works for Ammo Knights. He's best friends with Agent 4 and gets along with both New Agent 3 and Neo Agent 3. Eight is dating Captain 3, he confessed his feelings about a year after Octo Expansion.

New Agent 3/Neo Agent 3

This pair were raised by Salmonids nearly their whole lives, they don't remember much from before. Runt is a smallfry who was raised along side these two (he gets his nickname from being the runt of the pack) At some point just before ROTM these three got lost during a big run, resulting in them some how ending up in the desert near the crater. They went in hoping to find temporary shelter, met Cuttlefish and well rest is history. Veronika is slightly fuzzy, having decided to completely ignore warnings and poke the fuzzy ooze. It did cause her to act a bit like a feral cat but she was able to regain control over herself. Hina and Veronika cover each others weakness in a fight, Hina is a kicker and Veronika a puncher. Hina greatly looks up to Captain 3 and Agent 8. Veronika admires Agent 4. Hina and Agent 4 do not get along for various reasons like Hina finds Agent 4 to be arrogant or the fact Agent 4 is slightly jealous over Hina having Captain 3 as a mentor (Agent 4 is scared of Captain 3 replacing her as his little sister with Hina which is nonsense btw)

Merry Christmas!!!

I got a new laptop!!!! So now I won’t have to worry about it glitching out and not working or losing a ton of battery every time I try to respond to reblogs! 

Have you been having fun with your PS5?

[hailstormchase]

This is both cute, and cool at the same time-

And now that I think about it, my oc Connor was probably overcooked as he's a short birb (Lol he ain't actually a bird. He's an inktoling.....he just acts bird like)

I was consumed by thoughts of future agent96 stuff and the two eggs...

Some stuff during the incubation period of the eggs below!

Many dames prepare nesting material before they lay the egg (its developed within them for the first 3 months in an "eggnancy"), and the materials are all dependent on their personal preference (though its common across the board that the inkfish is hiding under something)

The nesting material has to be changed out once in a while by the sires or whoever is around to prevent ink contamination in the tanks or pools they settle in. (The ink is blood, after all. The the dames have to stay with the egg for 3 months straight, making sure the ink is circulating.

The ink theyre submerged in is frequently their own. But these days, theres the synthetic stuff to lighten the load on the dames.)

An ideal nesting phase means the mother wont move for the entirety of the 3 months. Their tentacles constantly moving over the eggs.

This isnt alwats the case, sadly, since some are single moms, or some calamity forces them to move (like Neo3's case)

Just dont leave em dry for too long...

The hatchlings will turn out fine as long as theyre sunk back in well-oxygenated ink.

For "overcooked" eggs like 4, the parents take turns at that point, bc if someone doesnt move for 3 months thats kinda bad for their bodies kwndke

Every incubation ends with the mother being real exhausted and unable to move properly for a while.

Now 3 can always sit with them but the overwhelming instinct of both of them is to DRIVE THEM OUT, among other aggressive feelings. Poor 3 was bitten and screeched at and given the damn runaround!!

I have a laptop that's half tablet, and have used sketchbook to draw on occasionally, though I'm more of a traditional drawer

(Microsoft whiteboard and tye whiteboard website are fun too, and free options)

// So I recently just got myself an iPad and procreate, to test it I just coloured in an old doodle- it’s not bad, a bit confusing but then again I’ve used PaintTool SAI for near enough a decade now so of course a new software will be weird lmao. Still very much gonna use SAI for major stuff, the iPad is basically for small doodles without having to set up my laptop lol

[hailstormchase]

I got ally empowerment and personal hell

Those.....don't seem to go well together-

Click on it twice. These are your two super powers.

[hailstormchase]

Wimdy!

Lol I originally read it as wimby

[hailstormchase]

Vassago is an interesting character from what I've seen so far, especially as he's one of the only ones in the courtroom who immediately jumped to defend Blitzø and stolas, even though he never met blitzø before this. He really seems to support Stolas a lot, and cares about the fairness of it all.

As some people have already pointed out, I really like how Vassago is the only one in the entire court that doesn't join the chorus when Satan starts singing his part in Mastermind

[ID: A shot in Helluva Boss at the court in Hell, showing a seat row full of demons singing a chorus surrounded by ominous red lighting. Among the crowd, Vassago, a Goetia with red feathers and yellow sunglasses, is the only one not singing. He leans foward and looks at the people on the seats across him in worry. /end ID.]

He instead looks worried. Everybody closes their eyes and sings the song hailing Satan but not him.

I'm really excited to see more of his character.

[hailstormchase]

Awwww, such a cute kitty. Always kinda wanted to have a cat

Can someone please translate

[hailstormchase]

This is neat!

And I wanna learn some Japanese now-

the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function

[hailstormchase]

This is neat. Feel free to ask my characters these

OC Ask Meme

I wanted to write my own OC ask questions and here they are! Feel free to use them.

🔴 Red- What is a trait your OC has that those around them don't see very often? Is it seen by a rare few or completely overlooked?

🟠 Orange- What is a trait your OC hides about themself from others? Do they refuse to acknowledge it or begrudgingly accept it?

🟡 Yellow- What is something your OC wants but knows they can never have? How does it feel to never get this specific desire?

🟢 Green- What is considered a weakness in your OC that is actually a strength? What is a strength in your character that can be twisted into a weakness?

🔵 Blue- How would your OC spend a single day of interrupted peace? Where would they go or who would they be with?

🟣 Purple- What is something that your OC could not live without? What keeps them grounded in the worst of times?

⚪️ White- When was a moment in your OC's life that they felt the most vulnerable and exposed? Were they alone or surrounded?

⚫️ Black- When was a moment in your OC's life that they felt the most in control and secure? Was it gained through negative or positive means?

🎱 8 Ball- What situation was your OC lucky to escape from or get out of? What or who helped them unexpectedly?

🔮 Crystal Ball- What kind of future does your OC want to have? What would they do to make it real?

🪩 Disco Ball- What was an achievement that your OC felt worthy of celebrating? Was it a personal victory or a big impact on everyone around them?

⚽️ Soccer Ball- Who is someone that your OC believes in and roots for? Are they private about their admiration or do they make it well known?

[hailstormchase]

Yep, definitely seems like he just proved it-

Though it's also seems like he's not doing so for validation, it's more out of selflessness than anything else.

It's fun picking characters brains :]

Similar to a stubborn yet brave octoling boy of mine, who would rather look a threat/death in the eye and help his friends than admit or seek help for his own issues.....and only tends to seek help for himself once he's already in way too deep over his head.

Why do I feel like 3 has hero's syndrome-

As he seems fine with helping the others with their issues, bur not in helping himself

// Three is purposefully ignoring what "Hero syndrome" means

Captain: I wouldn't really call myself a hero... Four: So less Hero, more self neglect-
