story
Octoboy was created in a lab, in a research that was trying to create hybrid creatures between humans and animals, experimenting on human embryos. The experiment was a total flop, as really the majority of their creations were dead before they ever lived, and the scientists that were part of this dubious research honestly just wanted to quit. They still had a few human embryos left however that they felt bad about for disposing of them without using them, so they used them for one final test, where they picked and plucked with the most stupid genetic information they could... and to everyone's surprise, created something that lived. Octoboy is perpetually rainbow-coloured and has several large physical defects due to the process of making him not having been taken seriously. He would later be "released" by fellow experiment Skunk (read: thrown into the sea), and meet the ocean's most dangerous predators; mermaids. The stronger and more dangerous mermaids are, the bigger and more colourful they are, and Octoboy's handicap suddenly became his lifeboat as the mermaids mistook him for a dangerous creature! Eversince, he lives a somewhat peaceful life alongside them and some friends.
personality
Octoboy is honestly a bit of a scaredy-cat, but feels comfortable enough to get by as long as he's got a friend around. Pirate really enjoys playing with him, and he happily goes along in games (even wrestling competitions with mermaids)! He's also a little shy, but can't help but draw attention to himself due to the way he looks. He's somewhat weak and sickly and can't eat most food, so Pirate often helps him find things he can eat.
