I was looking at Splatoon posts and realized how much I need to share my Splatoon OCs. They're the two protagonists from Splatoon 2 and I'm pretty proud of how I wrote them.

Long post warning :)

Irene

Codename: Agent 4

Species: Inkling

Pronouns: She/they

Ink Color: Indigo

Eye Color: Grey (may change to Purple)

Main Weapon Classes: Roller, Brella

Favorite Brands: Toni Kensa, Splash Mob

Gear Worn: Black Arrowbands, SRL Coat, Orca Woven High-tops (alt: Hero Headphones, Hero Jacket, Hero Runners)

Irene is a calm and collected Inkling scientist who studies Octarians. She's been interested in them for a long time, and her ultimate goal is to make peace between the split cultures of the Octarian Army and the inhabitants of Inkopolis. She gathers field research through her work as Agent 4 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon.

Her name is derived from the Greek word Εἰρήνη, meaning peace.

Mizuki

Codename: Agent 8

Species: Octoling

Pronouns: She/they

Ink Color: Yellow

Eye Color: Blue

Main Weapon Class: Dualie, Splatana

Favorite Brands: Cuttlegear, SquidForce

Gear Worn: No headgear, Neo Octoling Armor, Neo Octoling Boots (alt: Octoling Shades)

Irene is a hyper and bubbly Octoling who was formerly part of the Octarian Army. At one point she got into a fight with Agent 3 and ended up in the Deepsea Metro.

Her name is derived from 瑞 (mizu) meaning "felicitous omen, auspicious" and 希 (ki) meaning "hope".

The story I have for them so far is that after the events of both Hero Mode and the Octo Expansion, Mizuki ends up meeting Irene after leaving the Deepsea Metro. Irene naturally notices that not only is Mizuki an Octoling that's not mind controlled and friendly towards Inklings, but that she's also very lost and still has a decent amount of amnesia, and takes her in to her apartment in Inkopolis. The two learn about each other's societies and quickly become friends.

They're now in a lesbian relationship and have been for a while now, and now work together to help integrate Octolings into Inkling society. They're also planning on getting on contact with DJ Octavio and making a peace treaty.
