## Human life

[Paragraph in construction...]

Cal was the owner of the café of the Happiness Research Lab. Arya's family were his more frequent customers, always stopping to have lunch or dinner at least once a day. Arya often brought a lot of her friends, so she got to know a lot of them. One day, he found out from Arya and Fiona that there was an experiment going on. It was called the Crystal Neurolink experiment. He decided to volunteer, and then he was placed inside the cryopod, which saved his life from the explosion of the *Spirit Lifter.*

He was in there for a few hundred years, then Angelyta, who wasn't thinking straight, forced him out of the cryopod and made him go into the species-swapping pod. There he fainted and was stuck in there for a few more thousand years. He had got amnesia during this time period, and would've been stuck in there forever if it wasn't for DJ Octavio

## Octoling life

### Octoling Army

When DJ Octavio takes him to the Octoling army, everyone knew almost immediately he didn't belong. He helped people out when it's generally discouraged. The eyewear doesn't even work on him. DJ Octavio hoped that one day being with Octolings that the eyewear did work on would rub off of him. It never did. He made friends with Razi, which also didn't exactly belong. The last straw for JJ was during a very important test, when he's supposed to defeat an enemy, instead he blocked the shot from being made. He got deserted almost immediately.

### The Find

He sat around sad for a moment, then he decided he to walk around. He then accidentally falls into a kettle. Curious where it leads too, he follows it until he gets out to Splatsville. The Squid sisters were going through a tour and was playing in Splatsville when he got out of the kettle. They were playing Calamari Incantation when he got out. Despite the fact he was already a "defect", the song still made a strong impression on him, and he vowed he would make a band one day. Realizing that no one looks like him, he ran to a nearby alleyway. There he meets an unusual person. She introduces herself as Charcoal, and he says his name is #129. She says that he needs a name, and after she told him a couple names, he decided James Jonah. Charcoal decided to call him JJ. They became instant friends. They stuck together, until one day.

### Kidnapped

DJ Octavio discovered that he's living great with an inkling, and the fact that his battling skills are pretty good made him more angry. He kidnapped JJ, hypnotized him with advanced technology, and made him a fighting machine for two years. DJ Octavio then baited Agent 5 to come over. Instead of destroying Agent 5 like intended, they got him back and regained his octoling memories.

### Current times

Because of his begging and how long he has disappeared for, Char finally decided reluctantly that they will make a band called The Outcasts, with the name idea from Han. Ever since he got saved by the Meep team, he has gotten violent headaches. He thought that they were just migraines until he gotten onto the elevator with Voppi Meep and Han, where he fainted right in the middle of it. During then he seen fuzzy memories when he was a human, but it wasn't enough. It ended up it had to be an amnesia potion in a energy drink in order for him to remember everything.

## Personality

### Human

He's very serious and he often likes things going his way. He doesn't tolerate anything that's against the rules. He want's everyone to succeed, so if they have problems with something, then he'll try to help. However, he sometimes gets generous and doesn't turn them in. He doesn't do it often though.

### Octoling

#### Before the disappearance/Season 2

He's the voice of reason for Charcoal. Whenever she says something unsmart, he always questions it. Which ends up to be a LOT. When she doesn't blink an eye about it, he often get irritated. He's more mature than Char for a long mile. He's also empathetic, which is odd for human him.

#### The disappearance (AND Plan Terralyte)

When he was outfitted in the more strong dosage hypnoglasses (or hypnobuds), he was cold and didn't care of anyones feelings, and often did things that hurted other people besides the goal. He often insults people that remind him faintly of his past, but runs away if they fight back. He's also ironically useless and tries harder to be useful.

##### Sub-club

While he was stuck in the place where everyone refers to as the Sub-club, it reminded him as the time he got those extra-dosage hypnoglasses, and it's revealed whenever he's isn't busy, he often develops insecurity issues. So he kept himself busy, even if it's really ridiculous to avoid those thoughts, mostly by creating plans to escape, which all of those plans have a 0% chance to work.

#### Season 4

After getting lytalized, it was found out he had a goofier side. He was still was quite mature still, but he started to enjoy himself more.

## Appearance

### Human

He's blond with locks of hair shooting out all over the place. He also is wearing a black body suit.

### Octoling

When he was part of the octarian army, he looked like what most octolings looked like. He looked like that until he got adopted by the kindly couple. He then changed it to a black sweater with light blue jeans. And there is a tentacle in the middle and a couple shooting out When he got kidnapped again, he reverted back to his old Octarian Army look. Currently, he has a green hoodie unzipped with a random band t-shirt under it each day.
