Talon

## Overview

He is the alternate version of Terrence. Instead of a Sanitized backstory, his is much more... fuzzified.

## Description

Talon is a male Octoling that stands at 5'6, or at similar height to Terrence. His hair is dark purple with three red-tipped tentacles in the front that act like a mohawk. He has two more red-tipped tentacles on the sides of his head that resemble demon horns. He dons a fur chestpiece, as well as many other armored pieces crafted with the skinned fur of Fuzzified Octarians that he's killed. Either that, or a tactical winter vest meant for traveling through the snow to hunt for his favorite meal. His eyes are light yellow with bright red pupils. His ears are triangulated, much like Terrence's. He also has a row of 3 spikes on the bottom of his left ear.

## Personality

His personality is basically gruff and/or psychopathic, but he still places his loyalties to the Moop Team. But when chill, he has a personality comparable to Jax.

## Special Companion: Mirage

**Mirage** - This little gremlin is the alternate version of Midas. His scales have a more silver gleam instead of gold, and he has a much more reclusive personality than Midas. Very aggressive towards anyone but Talon, and he tends to stay away from his other species. Mirage is a Silver Goldie, which legend says that one is born every 30 years. Unknown to Inklings and Octolings and even Salmonids, these "Silvies" wield immense power and are known to be brutal Bosses. He wields a silver spatula that is chipped on the edge.

His personality is a mix between reclusive and mischievous. He is very aggressive towards anyone but Talon, and he tends to stay away from his own species. He wears a golden ring with 5 rubies on the ring, and bronze outlinings between the rubies. He dons a bronze chain necklace with a dark green-blue gem ornamented on it. On the largest scales of his head, there are gold earrings on the edges. The bottom spike's golden earring has a greenish-blue gem in the shape of a claw hanging on the end of it.

Since the day he hatched, he was ridiculed by his Goldie members for being silver, which to them was a sign of weakness. Every day he was abused, beaten and mocked by his Salmonid Pack for being silver instead of gold. Because of this, he yearns to become stronger and show his pack he can be useful. One day when the Salmonids were teasing him to the point of major injury, he decided enough was enough. He picked up a spatula and beast the shit out of 5 Smallfries, 3 Cohocks, and 2 Goldies. All of them juveniles. Mirage was then face to face with their leader, an Adult Steelhead. The two battled it out like David and Goliath, but since he was both inexperienced and just a baby, Mirage was beaten to the ground. His spatula was chipped, and when the Steelhead decided to make one of its bombs to finish the fight, Mirage used his remaining strength to stab the Steelhead in the head with his chipped spatula, causing the balloon to explode killing the Steelhead and knocking Mirage into a pipe that led into Splatsville. When he was roaming the streets, injured and weak, for scraps, he met Talon who was also alone on the streets. At first they were hostile towards each other, but they had eventually calmed themselves down. Talon noticed its wounds and took him somewhere and used his Turf Money to pay for medical materials needed to fix him up. When they stayed inside an abandoned apartment, they each told their stories. Realizing that they were more alike than they thought, the two made a pact. A promise to watch each other's backs and ensure they would help each other to survive in this dark world. He regularly teases Talon but still loves him nonetheless. His main weapon of choice is a chipped spatula. This gremlin are likes to play lethal pranks on his teammates.

## Physical Attributes

Much like Terrence, he is highly adept and strong in martial arts. Unlike Terrence though, he uses his legs as his primary weapons. He has the ability to channel his power and rage into his legs and chest, which when fully powered can release a fast kick able to topple down thick pine trees. This can also allow him to jump higher and sidestep at a much faster rate. He uses his arms to block attacks, and he's also adept at grappling.

## Story

After years of being abandoned in Alterna without food, he had to kill and eat the flesh of fuzzy Octarians. This made him form a craving for such flesh, and only that fortunately. He considers the Fuzzied Octarians as nothing more than monsters, and is okay with eating them since he only sees them as animals.
