Cap’n Cuttlefish
for Cap’n Cuttlefish in Splatoon
Suggested by truebrawler2763

In Splatoon, the vibrant city of Inkopolis thrives on Turf Wars — high-octane paint battles fought by Inklings and Octolings to claim style, territory, and fame. But beneath the neon-soaked streets and pop idol glamour, a sinister plot bubbles up as ancient tech awakens and threatens to drain the world of its color — and its freedom. When a mysterious Octoling with no memories (Agent 8) escapes from the depths of a secret facility, they’re pulled into a sprawling resistance led by the silent but fierce Agent 3, the hyper-fresh Agent 4, and the eccentric war vet Cap’n Cuttlefish. As chaos erupts, idol duos Squid Sisters and Off the Hook must face their own fractured pasts while new stars rise in Deep Cut. Ink will fly, beats will drop, and only unity — not rivalry — can save the splat-verse from total desaturation.
