Ever since DJ Octavio was captured by the agents, the Octarians and Inklings have been in more of an unease than usual. The Octolings had to find a way to bust him out but no matter what they tried, either three of the agents would stop them at the worst moment. Two years later the two species came to a truce. "As long as you don't kill our king,"an elder Octarian says,"We shall be fine..." For a good three years, everything was fine and dandy but DJ Octavio was getting more difficult by the day to the point where he broke out himself. The very same time, a foolish Inkling guard shot at the king, killing him instantaneously. The final straw was plucked. That very same night, the Octarians took their revenge by stealing the life of the famous Captain Cuttlefish. "That tears it!"Callie says angrily, pounding the table while her cousin Marie cried,"They've done it this time! I never wanted to do this but we must exterminate those Octarians, every last one... Anyone who sides with them will die also..." The next day the Inklings had started a battle against the Octarians, thus starting the Second Great Turf War...

"Hello there,"a voice says to you as you awake from unconsciousness,"I'm Commander Inklette, second in command of the Octarian side. Surprised to see an Inkling commanding the Octarian army. First in command is my closest friend, almost a sister to me. Her name is Octa. You have the choice of being with the Inklings attacking us, or us Octarians desperately trying to not go extinct. Which will you choose?"

If you choose Inkling's side]
"Is that so?"she says with a solemn look,"Well, it is your choice. I'll escort you as far as the tunnel. You're on your own afterwards." She quickly grabs your arm and runs towards the tunnel. "Au revoir; until we meet again." She squid jumps away.

If you choose Octarian's side]
"Is that so?"she says with a mirthful look,"I'm pleased to know you'll help. I'll escort to Octa. You'll have to prove yourself if you want to fight though. Luckily, the male Octolings came back to help so you'll have to go up against one. If you can last at least ten minutes against them, you're in." She grabs your arm and walks further into Octo Valley until she gets to a Flooder Junkyard with lots of active Flooders. "Ugh,"she says annoyed,"I always hated Flooders..." She starts running once she saw a free path between them before coming across a regal-looking home. This is the place. Don't expect me to come with you; don't worry, she doesn't bite." With that, she squid jumps away.

Rules:

1. Romance can be found within the roleplay(even bxb and gxg)
2. This is mostly a free rp or whatever its called, I'm just not too fond of having people wait a certain amount of time before the next response
3. Yes, there can be species of different sea creatures here
4. No bullying OORP
5. You can choose one or the other. Not both unless you have a good reason to do so.
6.You can be Canon characters
7. You need to fill out a form before you rp and I need to accept it too
8. No permadeath unless you want your character to die
9. Most importantly have fun and you can have up to two characters

Looking for love?: At first of course but now she is indifferent to most nowadays.
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: She has been cold and aloof to most people ever since the truce had started.

Mechasonic9000
Name: Zerul "Tank" Huntsmith

Age: 17

Species: Octarain

Looks: he is a Male Octarain. he wears Inkling power armor. but this version has been modified. To lighten the frame they removed alot of the armor plating. in favor for a hard light shielding. Its not very good at stopping ink, but headbutt him and you will be hurting. This slimmer lighter version of the Power armor gives him great mobility at the cost of protection.

Looking for love?: He is quite lonely.

Sexuality(optional): Straight

Personality: He isn't the center of attention. More like a wall flower observing everything. A bit easy to anger if you push the right buttons.

Inkling's or Octarian's side: Inkling

Level(if you're an Inkling): XP

Gear: Modified Octarain Power armor. Similar to Inkling power armor but far lighter and incorporates a hard light shield generator meant to help stop Physical attacks (Ink passes right through unphased)

Weapons(up to three): Kelp Splatterscope, Sprinker grenades, Inkstrike missile launcher (im guessing this is what you ment.)

Other: His life in Octovalley as fine. After the events that transpired with the Zapfish Zerul's life got alot worse. He hated DJ Octavio for doing what he did. One day he catches Agent 2 trying to get some intel from a secret labritory Zerul worked in as a R&D tester (Thats why he has the fancy power armor) She offered him a better life and he gives it a try. He enjoys the new life in Inkopolis and would do anything to protect it.

Here they are! Lemme know if they're good.
Also, what's the minimal players needed? Or am I just gonna wander around on my own for a bit?

Name: Leah Norton
Age: 21
Species: Northern Lamprey Eel

Looks: Aside from a toothy grin, she's a relatively short person. Her thin 'hair', if you could call it that, is kept in a ponytail.
Looking for love?: No. Shut down!! Okay, maybe??

Personality: Leah is aloof. She's more or less a person who'd rather watch from afar, rather than get directly involved with other people. If she's encountered directly. She's very suspicious of other people, it could be a legitimate suspicion or just plain paranoia. Otherwise, she's happy to go on with her day.

Inkling's or Octarian's side: Inklings, because Wynaut?
Level(if you're an Inkling): She ain't an Inkling.

Gear: Special Contacts, an Forge Inkling Parka, and a pair of Green Rain Boots.
Weapons(up to three): (I don't use Ink?? meh...) A Heavy Splatling and a Splattershot Jr..
Other:
Dislikes people who grab her.
She takes very good care of her teeth.
Leah likes listening to the Squid Sisters.

I'm need a minimum of eight people I believe~
Five for Inklings, three for Octarians
After that, we can still have more people after that and if this rp is successful and the Great Turf War #2 is completed, I might start another one for the aftermath.

Wow this sounds cool. I need another RP to experiment with.
Name: Tyler "Ty" Aquatic
Age: 14
Species: Inkling
Looks: A yellow Inkling who wears a Squid Nordic which covers some of his grown hair that peeks out of his hat.
Looking for love?: Maybe?
Sexuality(optional): Hetero
Personality: Has high anxiety, paranoia and jittery muscle spasms. Often nervous and a bit insecure about himself, due to him being the younger and less experienced one, but he's not a push over as he shows real skill when he's confident.
Inkling's or Octarian's side: Inkling side, as the Second Turf War began, it ruined his rising battle career and he almost died in one of attacks from the Octlings, giving him high anxiety, paranoia and jittery muscle spasms. Since everyone he knew was too scared to fight, he decides to fight in The Second Turf War, otherwise no one else will.
Level(if you're an Inkling): 20
Gear:Has a variety, but normally wears a Squid Nordic, Green Zip Hoodie, and Pro Trail Boots.
Weapons(up to three):Octobrush Nouveau, :wst_shot_precision00:, and a :wst_charge_longscp00:
Other: Lived in an orphange before the whole attack happened, as his parents were killed by a car when he was 10.
Aspires to be an artist, and draws recruitment signs for Inklings/Anyone that wanted to join the battle.

..Mm if this is free reign, I might jump in with a character. In like a week or two 'cause school.
>o>

I think I could join either side, (I think I have characters that work for either) though Inklings seems to be the more popular choice.
Question: It seems like your characters are leading Team Octo. Is there any plan for team inkling?

Whoo! I'm a little bit freer now.
When I'm a little less sleep deprived, I'm going to submit a character for Team Octarian. Yeeee

Name: Sonata Kestra
Age: 14 (she's young)
Species: Octoling
Looks:
Sonata is characteristic of a giant octopus, though she's not very big-sized. She's actually pretty average.
She has bored looking eyes, and her longer than average tentacles droop and curl in.
Light skinned + Green eyes + the usual octoling eye markings. Her hair is inked a dark, dark maroon. It'd be normal maroon, but she is an elite octoling.

Looking for love?: Not actively
Sexuality(optional): --- (I dun even know. No preference? Food over romance? I'll see how the cards play out)

Personality:
Sonata is a bit of an oddball. For an octoling soldier, she's not aggressive or particularly passionate about fighting. Rather, Sonata tries to find the most convenient and efficient ways to get things done.
Yeah... she's lazy. She's logical, she's easygoing. Sonata would rather be tinkering with machinery and helping octarians than stirring up drama. That makes her really easy to get along with.

Despite how relaxed Sonata is, she's an invaluable mechanic and she's also a pretty formidable charger user. She doesn't find her rank all that important but... she's earned it.
Positive Traits: Easygoing, humble, logical, watchful, resourceful, nerves of steel
Negative Traits: Lethargic, Eccentric, passive, goes with the flow

Inkling's or Octarian's side: Octarian
Level(if you're an Inkling): --- (In skill she'd be an A+, at the very least)

Gear:
As an elite, she wears the full "Octoling soldier ensemble" but with an undershirt that covers her midriff. (edit:) Also instead of finger-less gloves, she has more sturdy, elbow length gloves with work padding.
:head_rvl000::clothes_rvl::shoes_rvl000:

In the strange hypothetical that she's in booyah base gear, she'd go for comfy, loose and functional clothes.
(Something like an Urchin's Cap :head_cap000:, Anchor Sweat:clothes_swt006:, Purple Hi-Horses.:shoes_shi003: Purple or orangey ink.)
Weapons(up to three): Mains almost exclusively: Splatterscope (or an Octarian version of one).
Also good with: E-liter 3K:wst_charge_long00: and Bamboozler MK II:wst_charge_light00:

Other:
Can beatbox like nobody's business
Usually forgets to wear her elite kelp hair accessories
Has an older sister that is substantially more motivated than her
Enjoys noodles you can slurp

Not to sound impatient, but 10 people might get hectic! This could work with the people we have now, you know?
I think if we start with that minimum, it might get overwhelming. And It's not like new RPers can't be introduced after we begin.

Yeah, just my $0.02. >.>;; Four additional people is more than it seems.
Anyway, this is your thing, you make the calls.

I'm slightly confused, there doesn't seem to be many ways for someone to be grabbing more than 2 people at once. Like, I'm confused as to where I could enter the RP.

That didn't really answer my question as I thought it would've.

What I asked was: How can I include my character into this roleplay? the story seems strange as though you picked first come first serve kind of gameplay. With the fact that only one person was dragged by this 'mystery character' to their intended location. :s
