Personal Information

Personality: Talo is very sarcastic and has a lot of fake confidence, tending to make light of situations, but also has a tendency to say the wrong things at the wrong time. He is very funny, and sometimes seen as annoying. It is never his intention to make people feel bad, and when he does he tends to feel bad as well. He doesn't really have friends out of Aukai, his first real friend, Tasi, and Toa, so he tries his hardest to show he cares. He is lazy, but is dependable. Just a joy to be around, and never lets his guard down, as it is hard to surprise him. It is also very hard to offend him, and he also never lets down his emotional barrier. He uses humor and jokes a lot usually to divert attention away from serious matters, but he worries a lot, especially about Aukai.

Extra Information

Backstory: Talo and Aukai grew up in Inkopolis Square together when they were younger, and Talo was often bullied, which is how Aukai and him became friends, since she saved him. They've been inseparable ever since, and when it was time for them to move out to go and practice Turf War, they moved to Inkopolis Square, and bought an apartment together. Shortly afterwards, Aukai was scouted out by the Squidbeak Splatoon, and Talo has been worried sick ever since. He tries not to show it, and be supportive in his assistance to her and the Splatoon, but he wishes that Aukai was more open to him about things, but he just tells himself that he is too overprotective, as she once was of him. He pushes that all aside, and tries not to think about it, which works until Aukai goes out on Agent work, and he has time to think things over, which get worse every time. Despite this, he really enjoys times with his friends, and teasing them in general. He is one of their best battlers, and loves competing with his friends in turf wars and ranked battles.

After Aukai went missing during the events of Splatoon 3, having gone to investigate Alterna with Callie and Marie, Talo immediately began to worry. Agent 8 was also not available at this time, and Agent 4 was not available. Talo took upon the task himself after scouted out by Cuttlefish himself, and began his journey into the Squidbeak Splatoon. Talo eventually saved Aukai as well as the other agents involved, and the world itself. Talo is very happy to be included, finally, in the Squidbeak Splatoon’s missions, and it meant that he would have to worry about Aukai less as a result. He now lives with his three best friends back in Inkopolis Plaza, and life could not be happier, other than the trauma, of course. But, things seem to be going well for now as Talo and his friends team up to take on turf war and ranked competitions, at Aukai’s request.
