STORY

Omei was taken from his hometown at age 5, seperated from his older brother Zach after he left him to hide to try and avoid getting caught by Kamabo's soldiers. Once in the facility, he found comfort in another young octoling, Ren, who quickly became a sister to the young octoling. Though, the sanitazation was quickly effective and erased many memories from Omei's brain, including very painful modifications given to his body to create perfect soldiers.

Omei was exclusively modified to become an excellent charger user. He was given mechanical implants in his eyes which allow him to zoom in on his targets and focus for perfect precision. Once he was older and ready to be trained, he was put under many teams, but most reported of his disobedient behavior. Not being fully sanitized and resisting treatments, he was given stronger hypnogoggles to better perform and put with a strong team. This team was led by Ren, now completely sanitized and devoid of emotion, yet, something in her remained strong enough to consider protecting Omei when needed, like lying about his disobedience, and finding food for the starving octoling.

Even though, at some points, Ren had been forced to crack and reveal Omei's lack of obedience, and sent the unruly soldier to be 'reprogrammed'. The octoling, aware of how dangerous his fate was, broke out of Kamabo labs and began his quest to find the surface. He had seen many old magazines of inkling fashion fall down to their depths, inspiring him to find inkopolis. This was no easy feat, but after a few months, Omei managed to reach the surface world, and take in his first breath of fresh air.

Omei roamed a few days through the city of Inkopolis, until he was found by Katrina, an octoling who had settled in the city a while ago. Quickly noticing that he was way different than octolings she had met before, she asked a close friend, Flare, to give him a look. After realizing the horrid repercussions of sanitized ink in the octoling's inkstream, Omei was given ink transfusions to clean out the soiled ink.

His rehabilitation took some time, even after the sanitized ink was fully out of his system, Omei looked bleak, his original colors drab and greyed compared to his now friends. Though, his desire to return bellow and save Ren grew by the day, haunted by the thought of having left her behind. Even with Katrina and Flare's comments on how dangerous it was, Omei went back down on his own to find his sister.

Through many perilous obstacles and ennemies, Omei managed to bring Ren back along with him, although knocking her out in the process as she completely disregard the octoling, having forgotten who he was. With the help of Katrina, Flare, and a newfound friend Mako, Omei helped Ren get back to health. Now both free of their prison, they could start anew, in a brand new world.

After many years of being apart of inkling civilization, Omei and Ren made friends, learned to partake in turf wars, and both learned of their passion for music. Together with Omei's mixing skills and Ren's singing voice, they created a performing duo, R-Evolution. Their songs mainly cover the struggle of Octolings to find freedom, and personal experiences in the depths, along with the main theme as their name says, revolution and evolution towards becoming better beings.

With the growth of octoling population upon the surface, they quickly became popular on the music scene, often looked up to as beacons of hope for octolings that still remain bellow the surface, who dream to one day be part of the same world.
