Personality

Eight had always been the kind of Octoling that followed the rules, seeing the punishments that came with rebellion keeping him in line ever since he was little. It's the only way he knew how to survive in the harsh militaristic domes. It's outwardly bossy, short-tempered, easily stressed, and bootlicking, having a tendency to follow commands and deliver messages without question. Internally, recently more often than not, he's constantly trying to convince himself that he was made to follow orders and that's what he must do, despite those orders sometimes contradicting his own morals. Its tiniest acts of rebellion are something it'd describe as sickening and regrettable, but they feel more like a breath of fresh air than anything. It has issues with seeing itself as an individual, usually accepting its place as a cog in the machine for the greater good of the Octarians. The fact that a lot of others only seem to respect him for his authority further fueling those feelings. None of that has stopped it from yearning for the freedom and stress-free life of the surface nearly every Octarian dreams of, though.

Appearance

PRE-OE: Eight is 5'1" with the standard masculine Octoling cut, though there's a particularly stubborn tentacle on his right that won't stay short for long and he's gotten tired of going through the effort to get it cut. It has blue dots right below its eyes and on the corners of its mouth that make its Blue-ringed genetics abundantly clear—at least whenever the blue rings aren't on display—and has a tail that's usually curled at the end in an attempt to hide the crooked tip. He's usually seen proudly wearing the Golden Toothpick as an earring; a mark of his status as a high-ranking soldier.

DURING OE: Over time, Eight's tentacles grow out to an awkward midpoint between the standard masculine and feminine styles, which are constantly highlighted by the blue rings making its stress abundantly clear. His recklessness in tests is also clear with the various scars and bandages littering his body, especially the explosion scar on his back that has gone largely untreated.

AFTER OE: N/A

Relationships

Lethe

Before everything, they had an awful history that neither of them remember. But now, Lethe is essentially Eight's other half during his time in the Deep Sea. They clicked near-instantly the moment they met, and Eight isn't planning on letting go of its closest companion in the confusing depths of Kamabo Co.

Delta

Delta was his superior and one of the closest friends he had in the Domes, knowing them from childhood and all the way to near-Elite status. They stuck with each other through thick and thin and Delta was the only person Eight would break the rules for. Any memory it has left of them now is vague and foggy at best, though after gaining the Octoling mem cake, some memories become clearer.

The Squidbeak Splatoon

Eight is absolutely convinced the NSS ruined its life. Despite his amnesia, he knows he's supposed to despise the Splatoon and all it stands for, especially that infuriatingly deadpan Agent 3. It barely acknowledges Cuttlefish's existence when he's around, instead opting to ignore everything he tries to say under the guise that it doesn't understand Inklish.
