Username: Koa Kuddlefish

Have you read the rules? Yes

Character Name: Koa Kuddlefish

Character Source: Native Splatoon OC

Starting Location: Cevanti

Character Behavior:
A Cheerful Supporter is someone who guards the rear with useful toys which keep the team alive against all odds, and the weapons they do have come with nasty surprises. In Koa’s case, she uses her engineering and experience playing FPS and applies it to real-life with Turrets, creating Respawn points, and can repair just about anything with her Hex-A-Gone Omnitool.

Yes, she did name it that.

With no combat experience with holding a gun, unless you count Duck Hunter, she’ll be learning as she goes and extremely unpredictable simply due to not knowing how real warfare goes on. Likely with a smile on her face knowing that she’ll be keeping people alive where they otherwise would be chum in the Medium.

Physical Description:

Like many inkings who’ve reached maturity, she has a fully humanoid appearance though proportions are a bit off, matching that of other Inklings. However, where she lacks battle experience she made up with it by testing the limits of inklings' ability to alter their tones and appearance.

She prefers multi-toned tentacles, usually white base, pink tips, and darker-purple spots. Usually, the back is kept short and her two prominent tentacles around chin length. Her skin is usually more of a cooked or tanned peach or pink depending on mood. Regardless, she enjoys her black bandit-like mask pattering around her eyes. With her eyes themselves she keeps them a lime-green.

Squid Form
Not much to say about her squid form, most of her mask is primarily shunted into her tentacle length, and stylized cuttlefish. Her patterning is exaggerated but remained predominantly white.

She prefers white ink that shimmers pink, indigo, and purple.

Character History:

Koa’s egg was found in a bucket with her name written on the side, filled to the brim with ink, and abandoned in front of an apartment building being renovated. Her rescuers were a pair of humans who ran a pizza shop in 8-Bitain. While carrying for a baby inkling had been trying at times, they loved her greatly.

Eventually, though trouble started when she learned to maintain a primitive form humanoid body allowing her to leave her wading pool for brief stints. The amount of trouble she achieved on dry land eventually resulted in her being given tinker toys, legos, and a well-worn NES. Eventually, she moved on to science kits and occasionally would spend time with Uncle Felix as he taught her how to fix things that often she would break… repeatedly.

Eventually, when she was able to maintain her immature form on solid ground all day, she began truly tinkering as part of her passion and letting it help her pass her time into full maturity as the new CEO, Head Researcher, Janitor, and sole employee of Kuddlefish Industries. When she isn’t tinkering or keeping the Pizza Parlor up to her Uncle’s standards, she’s trying to learn how to Turf it online.

Lately, though her online misadventures haven’t satiated her inner Inkling’s desires for combat and splatsports. With an emotional farewell, she sets out to grow Kuddlefish Industries and her own technical understanding.

Adaptation 1 (200) - Limited 1 (50)
+ Adaptation - Can breath in non-air environments.

- Single Force Limited - Must be in squid form.
- Concentration - Can only conceal when focusing on blending in with the ink.
The user while in squid form is capable of swimming through ink as if it were a pool, even when that ink only coats a surface. This action of swimming also aids in concealing against prying eyes. For best results don't move and concentrate!

Your character behaviour, physical description, and backstory all appear to be good, but there are still a few things that will need to be corrected before you can be approved.

Surf-N-Turret:

-Summon: The removable effect doesn’t really apply here, as any given summon can probably be picked up. However, the device to summon the turret being able to be stolen should still be enough to give it removable. Additionally, you have two applications of limited (though one is referred to as ‘limitation), which is allowed, but only one will discount the price of the ability. That said, the turret only targeting

-Damage: Seems fine

-Agility: Again, seems fine, but changing ‘limitation’ to ‘limited’ would be appreciated.

-Sense: Seems fine


Hex-A-Gone Omni-tool

-Communication: Seems fine

-Move Object: Picking up objects is fine but storing them wouldn’t really fall under move object. As far as our system goes, Variable Creation is the closest thing we have. Additionally, you will likely want ongoing to move an object for more than a few moments.

-Healing: Mostly seems fine. However, the amount of time/number of uses you get before needing to replace the heatsink would be appreciated.


Spot-U-Splat

Seems fine. You could also add ‘Limited: can only produce ink’, if you feel so inclined.


Inky Lungs

I’m not completely sure I understand the application of Limited here. Can Koa not breathe while outside of the ink?


Squid Form:

The Finite modifier being applied here doesn’t appear to be narratively significant enough to apply (there is no significant recharge associated with this ability). Additionally, the Limited modifier being specified here is not ‘Limited to a single form’ which is would need to be for a 500 essence discount.


Flying Squid:

Seems fine


Swimming Squid:

-Movement: Limited modifiers associated with only being usable in a single form are still Limited modifiers and cannot stack with those derived from other limitations. Additionally, ink being washed away would be more associated with Weakness (water) than Removable.

-Concealment: Same ruling on Limited as above.


Squid Ink:

Same ruling on Limited and Removable as above.

Can I just rip it out? If its not going to serve storage fuction, can I get rid of it without affecting anything else? Thanks for review I may take some time working on this

Fixed, I'll probably need the 50 when I add on to it

Clarified, meant she needed it to breathe in ink. Not in air.

Additionally, the Limited modifier being specified here is not ‘Limited to a single form’ which is would need to be for a 500 essence discount.

Fixed Addec concentration for more essence debt.
Same ruling on Limited and Removable as above.
Fixed and added concentration to make up for the 50 extra essence I needed

Ok, looking pretty much good but a couple of things to note, mainly around price.

Surf-N-Turret: The Summon portion has Activation 2, though it would require 30 seconds of Activation for this instead of 10. Additionally, the Agility portion lists Removable twice.

Spot-U-Splat: Listed as costing 50 essence, but the modifiers add up to 100.

Swimming Squid: The Concealment portion does not seem to be factored into the total cost.

Other than these concerns, the rest seems good to go.

Fix and replaced the second removable with Activation

Yikes. Fix. Had to throw an activation on healing for the hex-a-gon's healing to cover the descrepancy for this and swimming squid
Swimming Squid: The Concealment portion does not seem to be factored into the total cost.
Fixed.

Thanks for the late night review.

Ok, as far I can tell this all looks good. You're approved! You can go ahead and post Koa in the character profiles forum and start writing!
