CHARACTER NAME: Kai
CHARACTER [REAL] AGE: 14
SERIES; Splatoon 2 (malleable protagonist)
TIMELINE; From the end of the main campaign, after defeating DJ Octavio and rescuing the Great Zapfish

PERSONALITY:
For Agent 4 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, the hero who returned the Great Zapfish to Inkopolis and rescued Callie from DJ Octavio's mind control...Kai's kind of lazy. A major criticism of young Inkling culture is that darn kids these days are obsessed with music, fashion, and mock Turf War battles, and Kai is 100% that to a T. (Tweenklings...) The only thing she really gets off her butt for is Turf Wars, and she's surprisingly bad at those. She gets splatted during games more often than not; she's very bad at working in a team, so heading off on her own to rescue the Zapfish was right up her alley. She hates being told what to do, which is part of why she's so terrible at teamwork. Unfortunately for anyone who's stuck on a Turf War team with her, she's contrary and will do whatever she wants. The only time she's capable of working in a team is when she takes the occasional part-time shift at GrizzCo to fight back the Salmonid incursions (and collect golden eggs for Mr. Grizz). Hey, it's a way to make money to get new clothes to look even more fresh, so she's not about to complain.

She was too starstruck to talk to Marie during the main campaign, but in normal circumstances, she's a bit of a motormouth. When she's out of danger and just hanging out with her friends, she's kind of silly - just acting like a normal teenager, doing stupid stuff for fun, skateboarding, taking dares, and going to Arowana Mall.

Kai isn't dumb, but she acts without thinking a lot, and can be careless. It's better to be lucky than good, the saying does, and she's pretty lucky. She's not a strategist, preferring to charge headlong into situations. She got into some pretty sticky situations, like being surrounded by Octolings, but she managed to find her way out of all of them (by the skin of her pointy little teeth). There were a lot of times where she thought she'd get splatted in enemy territory, but she was either lucky enough to find a way out or good enough to fight back. She's smarter than she looks and acts, and more tenacious than you might think, but she's still just a teen. She just wants to hang out and have a good time.

CANON SUMMARY:
Canon Wikipedia


RADIANT AGE/APPEARANCE;
Kai is still a young teenager, but she no longer has her tentacles; instead she has two long locks of bright green hair hanging down in front of her ears. No more mask marking, no more pointy little teeth. She's going to hate it. Especially because she can't turn into a squid anymore.

Here's the squidkid!

RADIANT ABILITIES;
Kai's going to get her tenta-hair back, but instead of her face markings, she'll actually be wearing a black domino mask. She will also have her Splat Dualies and her ink tank on her back, and she'll be able to shoot viscous green ink to temporarily blind or slow down enemies. (The ink will disappear after about one minute.) However, since she has to replenish that with her own energy, she'll only be good for that in short bursts. She'll also be wearing a cute Sailor Senshi outfit, because why not?

However - in this form, she's going to be weak to water, like all Inklings. Seeing as they're made of ink, and all.


RADIANT PARTNER:
NAME: Inkblob
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Inkblob is a color-changing, well, blob of ink. It behaves like a viscous liquid, but doesn't leave any ink trails or markings on what it touches, unless it's annoyed with someone. It's very shy, and like to hide in Kai's bag whenever possible. However, she can usually coax it out with waffles. And/or shrimp. And/or shrimp waffles. It speaks Inkling, but Kai can translate. (Sometimes, her translations are not entirely accurate, if she's annoyed. Or just being a brat.)


SAMPLES:
LOG SAMPLE;
"Nuh-uh."

"Kai."

"I'm not going in there!" the Inkling-who-was said, raising her voice. "You tryin' to kill me or something?"

"It's part of your Physical Education grade. You need to swim."

"I can't swim! You're trying to kill me!" Kai said, crouching down and hugging her arms about herself.

"...can't, or won't?"

"Either! Both! Pick one," she snapped. The scent of chlorine was invading her nose, and she hated it.

"Well, this is going to help you learn."

"I don't want to learn," she said, sounding miserable. When she'd put on her bathing suit, she'd thought that it was just a protective garment in case of being inked. (Apparently, mammals didn't have that problem, but what did she know? The only mammals she'd ever met in her life were Judd and Li'l Judd, and they were both cats.)

"Please just get in. It's shallow, you won't drown."

"No! I'm going back to the locker room," Kai said huffily, stood up, and immediately lost her balance, toppling towards the pool. "Noooo!"

She flailed around pathetically, shouting and shrieking, before she realized that she was not in fact melting, and everyone was staring at her. She blinked. It was like being covered in ink, but a lot less viscous.

"See? You're fine."

"No I'm not," Kai said grumpily, and did her best to flail over towards everyone else. Since she couldn't skim through the liquid with ease, like she could cruise through ink as a squid, this was going to be more difficult than she'd thought.

ET SAMPLE; Hey. So. Question for everyone.

Can I not be a mammal all the time? [Kai tugs on her hair.] It's really annoying. Like, c'mon! This is so not fresh! I don't know how you guys even stand it. I mean, bones?! Not cool! [She points at her wrist.] Look at this! Look at how many bones there are! Holy carp, vertebrates, what if they break? They seem really delicate!

...also, what kind of makeup sticks best to the face? Asking for a friend.
