Age: 14 Species: Hooman Personality: Is quite out there, a bit of a cocky kid, when he thinks he knows something then he's very insistent and will stand by his judgements. It's quite hard for him to open up his very personal feelings, but hell always have an opinion about something. He loves mangoes, he'll have mangoes with anything at all; he once tried mangoes and beef (idk why thats important but u can somehow make it important, xD).

I feel like, since Jaypie didn't name a successor and since a few other users have interest in the game and may or may not also be more experienced than me, it would be the fair and correct thing to do to offer all the players a chance to vote for who should continue to host. So in light of that it if you think that there is someone else here that would be a very good host go ahead and say so and by majority choice we'll give them the next round so they can have a turn as well. If more than one person is eligible then perhaps a list can be set up so each gets a turn to host. : )

I'm very glad you think so! : D Great bio! There are a few other questions that need to be answered though if you wouldn't mind taking them real quick here.
Some more things about Brooke (hopefully the final name change; was "Angel," then "Umiko") and Joy:
In the Turf War (it's more of a sport they do; even if they get splatted ("die"/get eliminated) there are respawning machines), Brooke would use a charger (sniper), while Joy would use a shooter, roller (basically a giant paint roller ), or dualies (twin pistols) in the sequel. (I haven't played the sequel, but I like the dualies, sort of reminds me of being a Tracer main in Overwatch.)
Not sure whether they're sisters, cousins or otherwise; I'll have to think that through.
They will probably be unfamiliar with some human customs, such as certain types of food and activities.
They both know enough English to get by, but Joy is actually better at English, as Brooke is juggling multiple languages and doesn't have as much time to learn.
Their last name, Maki, means "truthful record" in Japanese (maki), although it is also a name for sushi, fitting their status as humanoid sea creatures, as sushi often contains seafood as ingredients. Maki also means "towards the sea" in Hawaiian (makai) and "who is like God" in Hebrew (micaiah).
Brooke means "small river" and Joy means, well...most would know what it means.
Brooke's cross necklace could mean the pair are Christians, or the Inkling variant at least. (I'm not sure what kind of religions Inklings get into, although there is a prophetic excerpt of a "Book of Madai" among the Sunken Scrolls, and there is actually a Madai in the Bible (one of the grandsons of Noah), which could mean that there is a Bible-like book that many Inklings read and follow.)
I'm not sure whether or not to use dialect, but I keep envisioning Joy speaking with a slight Cockney or Estuary accent for some reason...? I'll just go with the flow for a while.
For those who aren't familiar, this is what Inklings look like in-game:
Females (these are all in Splatoon 2; you can only don the hairstyle on the far left in the first game.)

Weapon of choice:
How do you do under pressure:
Backstory: Ohh, wow! I looked at how many people had signed up and are still signing up and thought that i needn't put too much in as the character wont probably even get to the story stage! Man, that's dedication! You must have a looot of notes when writing these stories, xD PART 1 Favourite Colour: Orange
Occupation: He's 14, not even legally allowed to work, xD
Backstory: He grew up in Southampton in the suburb of Bassett, with his grandmother. His parents had divorced about 2 years after he was born, which was too early in his life for him to remember much, but he has one vivid memory of a Man and a Woman fighting and snarking at each other with words he couldn't understand. The tone that they displayed stuck with him forever. He remembered crying and the man coming over to pick him up, then the woman snatching him, taking him out the door. As Harland looked back on that event when he could understand, he felt that it was too much to bear; he did everything in his power never to be lead back to that moment. At school he started off as many normal kids would, meeting friends, learning what pluses and minuses are, that whole wave, but when he got to Year 2, it all changed; he started off as much more conservative. He didn't see the need to do stuff in school, he always had his head down, he showed little to no effort towards anything and everything. This made him a target for bullies, bullies that were actually 2 years older than him. The teacher saw he had lost his spark and organised a meeting with his grandmother. She didn't know what to do. That night she talked to Harland about it. She brung up the point of how she noticed she was loosing him, that she wanted the old Harland back. The Old Harland; Just what lead him back to that wave of events. He cried on his grandmothers lap for 3 hours straight. His grandmother hadn't a clue as to what he was crying about. She tried to comfort him, although clueless of what she had thought had happened at school.
Backstory (Cont.): Harland finally stopped, and without a word, he went to his bedroom and sat on his bed, thinking. His Grandma dare not to disturb him, she hadn't a clue what else she might trigger, so she left it till the morning. When Harland was thinking, he thought about how this had affected him. Looking back on how events he had no control over, events he didn't even understand till just recently, had affected him. He made a resolve not to never think about them, but this time to learn from them. He was never, ever gonna speak to someone in that tone, ever in his life. He was never ever to be disrespectful to anyone, ever, and was to respect everyones opinions. And those bullies he knew, well he was gonna give them a show. The next day he came to school a different person; he was more out there, he remade many of his friends he had the year before and when those bullies came around, he didn't fight back one bit; instead, he just nit grittily picked everything they were teasing him about. They soon got bored, moved on, and he found out he rather liked the way he handled them. The next time he encountered them was at scouts in Year 3, and he had the most fun with them ever! They never came back to scouts, too. Throughout the rest of school and into high school he was one of the most insistent people out there.
Skill: Bad Poetry, making cocky remarks, is good at tying ropes (from when he went to scouts) and can make really big splashes from doing bombs in the pool.
Whats in HIS vacation bag (JK JK, XD): He packed 3 pairs of shorts, a notebook and 2 books, a Hawaiian shirt (bricklink: [LegoTorso Hawaiian Shirt Open with White Flowers over White Undershirt Pattern / Dark Azure Arms / Yellow Hands]) and a couple of other generic ones, his grandmothers old necklace as well as his trusty 'dumb phone' (he can get quite paranoid when it comes to the internet, xD) and some dank shades.
Weapon of choice: His grandmothers necklace.
How he does under pressure: If it doesn't really affect him or he just hears about it it's fine but if something happens right in his vicinity he can get very paranoid very quickly, flipping immediately.
Brooke and Joy grew up as cousins in the suburbs of Inkopolis, participating in Turf Wars every so often, though Joy was more enthusiastic about them and found them quite fun while Brooke just did it because her cousin was doing it. They were close, though Brooke could be annoyed by Joy's behavior and Joy could be disappointed or frustrated by Brooke's. After some particularly bad defeats, a final "splat" gave them pounding heads...and humans? Who put a respawn point on modern Earth? (This is probably terrible but I can't think of a better way of explaining. )
They came to the hotel because it was the first one they could find and they figured they'd be here for a while.
Occupation: They're both students.
Weapons: Ink guns for sport. Probably won't kill you; it's more like being covered in smooth, gooey paint which generally slides off after a while.
In their bags on vacation: Brooke would bring books, a journal, an eReader and her phone. Joy would bring playing cards, a handheld game console, some plushies, and yeah, also her phone. Who knows when you might need it?
Good at lying?: Nope. Joy is a terrible liar and Brooke considers truth a virtue.
Under pressure? (du du du dududu du): Brooke tries to cover up her fear with sarcasm and assertiveness, while Joy just flat-out panics, though in fear of being attacked doesn't try to escape.
Skills: Brooke has a good memory and stores knowledge well, is a talented artist, knows quite a few languages, and is also quite intelligent due to her studies. Joy is very nimble and quick, as well as having great gaming skills and outstanding optimism, and is good at karaoke, turf wars and generally having a good time.
We-yo? Ngweh? ....octoboy is confusing. He's cute though. I kinda wish I could play Splatoon 2. Eh, Dad might get it for me someday. Or maybe I'll save up if I'm lucky. For now I have the first game though so it's okay.

Oh gasp! Sorry about that I copy/pasted that from Bun's bio and totally didn't even see the pronoun. O.O
