In the Army

Cryll, like most octolings, was raised to become a part of the octarian army when he was old enough to join. He served there for a few years, but he always felt trapped being in the army, always left feeling like he wanted something more. That is until one day, he heard the Calamari Inkantation from the squid sisters, filling him with hope. Where he could believe he could make something for himself.

Time in Inkopolis

Cryll then decided to try and sneak off to Inkopolis, where he had heard there was an octoling idol living there. And he believed there was a way out. And one day he does manage to make it to the surface, somehow avoiding the deep sea metro where he would've been subject to sanitization.

After making it to inkopolis, he was pleasantly surprised to find other octolings there as well, though was also confused that something he used to fight for his life for was now played for sport. But his previous experience proved to be useful. One day when he tried to join a match, he ran into another solo player, a little inkling who struggles to find matches. Cryll introduced himself to him, and the inkling introduced himself as Ty. Cryll invited Ty to join in matches with him, and the two quickly started chatting up in matches together that day. And after, the two decided to completely work together on matches from now on.

Moving to Splatlands

Cryll stayed with Ty in inkopolis together for a while, until eventually, they heard about the Splatlands, with a whole different sort of race of octolings liked to reside. Cryll liked the idea of this, and wanted to leave his old history of being part of the army behind where it haunted him in Inkopolis. Ty agreed to go with him as well, so the two took the train to the splatlands, where the two now reside, and now have current goals of finding two other people to form a full team with, to maybe make it big one day.
