His Beret from the Army

**Theo** is a major character-turned-antagonist in the SMG4 Series. He debuted in SMG4: The Inkling Disappearances.

 — Theo revealing himself as an antagonist to SMG4's Gang

He was a casual and relaxed member of SMG4's Gang who defended his friends from danger and went on many of their stupid adventures. Theo was an overarching antagonist of Season 13 and the main antagonist of Season 14.

Throughout the duration of Season 13 and Season 14, Theo builds up a massive corporate empire as he states that the world must move forward using technology and new innovations. His main goals were actually to rule the entire world using his corporation as a disguise to build up a massive army and conquer everything, making him the overarching antagonist of Season 13 and 14. These goals remained hidden however, as Theo continued to help SMG4's Gang against several antagonists like TV Adware and One-Shot Wren to help disguise his true intentions.

In Season 14, Theo unleashed his army onto the Mushroom Kingdom and proclaimed the State of Vaktovia as a state of war had been declared between both nations. He turned his back on SMG4's Gang by luring them into a room full of traps, killing Meggy with the rest of the gang wounded. He eventually won the war, prompting SMG4's Gang to flee into exile to the United States as Theo conquered the entire continent under his iron fist. This makes Theo the only antagonist to succeed with his main goal, that being taking over the entire Mushroom Kingdom.

## Biography

Theo is an Inkling Boy who hails from Inkopolis. He was a very patriotic kid as he says that when he saw a military parade in the city, he wanted to become a soldier. In his teenage years, he tried many different weapons in shooting ranges. At age 17, he tried to enlist but failed due to him not meeting the requirements. Near his 19th birthday, he enlisted into the army and got in.

Prior to his debut in SMG4: The Inkling Disappearances, he fought against the Octarian forces but was never seriously injured. He met his best friend Max in the army aswell as both of them would make a strong bond with eachother, working together in almost every mission they had. During the second part of the Anime Arc, martial law was declared in Inkopolis by the military. However, this couldn't be enforced due to the anime characters drawn by Francis being too strong for the military.

In SMG4: The Inkling Disappearances, Theo and Max are hiding in a building to avoid the anime characters when he hears Mario asking where Meggy is. Theo is surprised and asks Mario if he is looking for her by any chance. When Mario says yes, Theo & Max explain that they are soldiers of the army but that martial law has been impossible to upkeep cause of the anime characters. They later agree to team up with SMG4's Gang and the A.S.S. to rescue Meggy and liberate all the Inklings stuck on Anime Island. During SMG4: World War Mario, Max died by a stray bullet and is given a proper state funeral together with Desti. Theo is forced to say goodbye after he mentions that he is not done with his military service yet. He later thanks SMG4's Gang for helping and says they will meet eachother again at some point in the future.

After having completed his military service and being honorably discharged, he goes to Meggy's apartment and reunites with SMG4's Gang in Peach's Castle in the episode SMG4 Christmas Special 2021. He also gets a job at Grizzco Industries to continue living in Inkopolis. He later quit his job at Grizzco and went to the Soviet Union to live there, becoming a Spetsnaz Elite apart of Spetsgruppa Alfa in the Soviet Army.

## Appearance

Theo is an inkling boy with short hair, orange ink color, light skin and blue eyes. His headgear is the Special-Forces Beret. Theo is rarely ever seen without his headgear, with him only having it off in SMG4 Movie: Meggy's Destiny. His shirt is the Urchins Jersey.

His main weapon of choice is the PPSH-41, a Soviet submachine gun from World War 2 which he used extensively during his military service. When it comes to Splatoon weapons, he uses a variety of them in his Salmon Run shifts with his favourite being the Kensa Splattershot.

## Personality

Theo's personality is a mix of emotions with his main moods being relaxed and calm. He enjoys hanging out with his friends, notably Mario and SMG3 as he relates the most to them. Theo's dream was always to join the military and serve his country, when he achieved this at age 19, he had accomplished his goal and met a new friend called Max in the army. Theo was a energetic and fun person before the events of SMG4: World War Mario when he watched Max and Desti die. After the events of the Anime Arc he became more depressed, sad and anxious due to his PTSD from the Battle of Anime Island. This eventually transpired into changing Theo's personality entirely, going from energetic and fun to serious, angry and anxious. He eventually overcame these issues overtime as he learned to cope and move on with his life.

He is brave, independent, mischievous, funny, anxious, serious, light-hearted, calm, relaxed and prideful.

Theo is typically smarter than all other members of SMG4's Gang and is very wise. He often gives life advice to many of his friends, telling Meggy in SMG4: Final Hours and SMG4 Movie: Meggy's Destiny that everyone must move on and that life is never fair. He is also able to coordinate and cooperate better than anyone else, owing from his experience in the military.

## History

### Anime Arc

Theo is a major character in the Anime Arc, helping SMG4's Gang take down the Anime Cartel and save all the Inkling's.

#### SMG4: The Inkling Disappearances

In his debut episode, Theo and Max are hiding in a building in Inkopolis until Mario approaches it, asking where Meggy is. Theo asks Mario if he's looking for Meggy to which he says yes, Theo & Max later exit the building and explain that ever since Inkopolis was put under martial law it was impossible to enforce due to the anime characters. When he sees an anime character in the distance, everyone freaks out as Mario, Tari, Desti, Luigi, Theo and Max fight him. After the fight, they get a map leading to Anime Island and they reunite with SMG4, Fishy Boopkins, Saiko and Bob who also brought along Swag and Chris to help them at Peach's Castle.

After explaining to the other group who they are and that they found a map leading to Anime Island, everyone agrees to take a battleship to the island as they depart. However, before they can depart, Godzilla shows up and kidnaps Desti. SMG4's Gang along with Theo and Max have no choice but to continue onto Anime Island.

#### SMG4: Mario and the Experiment

Theo is seen talking with Max on the battleship until Godzilla decides to show up again, this time to kidnap Theo and Max aswell as delay the Allied Forces from reaching Anime Island. Everyone tries their best to stop Godzilla but to no avail, Theo and Max hide inside the battleship as when Fishy Boopkins's dad, Joe Boopkins shows up, Godzilla is defeated and they are saved. With only a short way left to Anime Island, all of the Allied Forces embrace themselves for a brutal battle.

#### SMG4: World War Mario

Theo and Max are seen on a landing craft together with Chris, Swag, Mario, SMG4 and Fishy Boopkins along with a couple of A.S.S. agents. Theo and Max quickly get out of the landing craft and onto the beach, avoiding machine gun fire and taking cover behind a building. They later meet up with SMG4 and Mario where they devise a plan where Max and Theo would distract the anime characters while SMG4 and Mario clear a way through the barbed wire and into the bunker itself.

Theo and Max embark on their mission, however when they engage 2 anime characters, one stray bullet hits Max fatally in the lungs and kills him. Theo tries to get Max to wake up but realizes he is dead. He later becomes enraged at the anime characters and kills all of them in a rampage. Theo later carries Max's corpse on his back to the bunker entrance where the rest of SMG4's Gang are waiting. Everyone sees Max's corpse and mourn for a while until Chris orders them to clear out the bunker and find Francis and rescue all the Inkling's. Theo carries Max's corpse on his back into the bunker and puts him to the side, engaging anime characters in a rampage together with Mario. After the battle, Francis shows up and spawns False Sephiroth to stop them. When Francis is knocked down by Desti and Axol, the allied forces storm into the room where Meggy is being kept as they have a battle. Theo would use his PPSH-41 to spray down the remaining anime characters. When he sees Desti get impaled by False Sephiroth, he storms out of the room.

#### SMG4: Final Hours

He goes back into the battle only to realize that SMG4's Gang has been surrounded by 100 False Sephiroth's. This causes Theo to go into a panic as he hides behind the wall, hoping none of them saw him. Theo later goes up to the upper floor of the warehouse behind the scenes, using a bolt-action sniper rifle to pick off the False Sephiroth's one by one until Bob, Chris and Swag bring a tank and decimate all of them. With Francis outnumbered, Theo sits back and looks into his scope as the rest of SMG4's Gang finish him off.

When Francis summons Super Saiyan God Goku, he is forced to get down from his position as Goku started attacking him. He is beaten back by him numerous times until Tari distracts Goku with a game of Super Smash Bros. After Meggy sacrifices herself and appears to be dead, Theo mourns as he has lost one of his closest friends. He decides to finish off Francis together with the rest of SMG4's Gang. The battle ends as Super Saiyan God Goku starts to self-destruct, the allied forces are evacuated to the battleship. When Mario asks where Meggy is, everyone freaks out and Ultra Instinct Shaggy tries to get her, only for Anime Island to explode. All of them think she died but when Shaggy comes back with Meggy, she is unconscious and has sustained massive injuries but still had a pulse (confirmed by Tari).

When the funeral for Desti and Max starts after Meggy wakes up, Theo tells her that he also lost his friend and that they can go through this together.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Transformation**: Like all Inklings, Theo can transform into a squid at will.
* **Precognition**: Theo is shown to be able to predict events and the future which contributes to the continuity of the series as a whole. In SMG4: All I Want For Christmas is Mario to FREAKIN BEHAVE, he predicts that Mario will make Melony mad so that she gets transformed into her deity form. In SMG4: MAR10 Day, he successfully predicts that SMG4 was possesed by a demonic entity forcing him to work on the Perfect Video.
* **Enhanced Gunmanship**: Theo is very skilled with firearms from his experience as a teenager and in the army. He can use any firearm with ease and always have good accuracy aswell. In SMG4: World War Mario, this ability is first seen with Theo being able to wield and carry his PPSH-41 with ease while having excellent aim despite the ridiculous recoil of the weapon. He later uses this ability in SMG4 Movie: IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT to fight against the Demonic Goop.
* **High Intelligence**: Theo is often very smart and thorough when fighting someone/something. He is always cooperative and knows what to do in tough situations despite all the stress and pressure on him.
* **Apathy**: Unlike others in SMG4's Gang, Theo is devoid of almost any emotion with it notably being apparent in his regard to fearing of death or anything unusual happening. He is usually able to shrug off any death or unusual happenings as seen in SMG4: Five More Nights. This could be due to his military experience and his lack of emotions during his childhood.

## Weaknesses

* **Water**: Due to his Inkling physiology, Theo doesn't have the ability to swim in water and will dissolve on contact with it.
* **Anime**: He has a big hatred of it, to the point where he says that he wants to "burn all anime and feed the creators of it to rats". Although this could be mostly explained cause of the phobia of anime in Inkopolis and the events of the Anime Arc and Battle of Anime Island where his best friend Max died in action.
* **Laziness**: Theo is shown as overall lazy, only ever getting serious if he's in danger or any of his closest friends are in danger. This can be a factor of his obsessive video game addiction and that he prioritizes his own life over his friends.
* **Socially Awkward**: He is mostly socially awkward to strangers and people he doesn't know very well. Theo only talks very openly with members of SMG4's Gang and his friends.
* **Mischieving**: Theo likes to cause massive damage to annoy people for fun, this has caused him to develop discords between most members of SMG4's Gang except Mario, SMG3 and Meggy.
* **PTSD**: Theo suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, owing from the fact he watched his best friend die at the Battle of Anime Island and him having near death experiences himself during his military service. He mentions how he has a fear of foxholes and takes medications to calm down his PTSD.

### Overcome

* **Depression**: After he lost Max in the Battle of Anime Island, he learned to cope with his emotions and move on with life. After he constantly got haunted by the spirits of his past, he decided to go back to Anime Island in SMG4 Movie: Connection Terminated to end it all. After the movie, he overcame his depression and decided to start a new adventure.

## Trivia
