Application
Character: Squid Girl
Series: Shinryaku! Ika Musume
Character Age: age unknown, looks 13-14
Canon: One day a girl with squid-like tentacles for hair comes to a beachfront restaurant and announces that she will invade humanity and punish them for polluting her precious ocean. She attempts to claim the building as her base, but breaks a wall by accident in the resulting scuffle. The owners there enlist her as a waitress to make her pay for the damages. Thus begin the comedic adventures of Squid Girl and her fail-filled attempts at invading the surface.
Squid Girl is proud of her squid nature and calls herself the messenger of the sea. If she had things her way, all humans would fear her. Even when she does good things like saving drowning victims she harbors ulterior motives like hoping the grateful will become her servants. However, no one takes her invasion attempts seriously, and for good reason. Her ambitions are unrealistic. Her surface knowledge is patchwork at best. She's easy to manipulate, and quickly influenced by concepts she doesn't fully understand. She is overly simplistic, and often shameless and childish. Her ignorance leads to hilarity such as arguing with her own echo and mistaking killer whale floats for the real thing. Despite all these setbacks, Squid Girl has some good qualities. Her high adaptability allows her to learn math and foreign languages quickly. She befriends nearly everyone she meets, can effortlessly rally elementary school kids with anti-pollution speeches, and has earned a good reputation with the local lifeguard. During her time on the surface Squid Girl has come to care about the humans around her, enough that some have practically become family. Overall she's not much of an invader, but she will never give up on the idea. Aliens can do it, so can she.
Note: In the original Japanese, Squid Girl frequently ends her sentences in '-de geso' (squid tentacle) and emphasizes '-ika' (squid) sentence endings. The English dub tackles this by having her use squid-related puns. The apper will be going with the marine wordplay version of Squid Girl's speech pattern.
Sample Post:
From today forth I will be the Supreme Squid of this place! Do you hear that, all you puny humans? Top squid, and there is nothing you can do to squidly stop me. I see that my comrade has already struck fear into the hearts of many of you, and with good reason. Just take a look at that body of water! It's so filled with filth and waste and rotting dead things that she was forced to come to the surface, you made it that squidding uninhabitable. I don't have an ounce of sympathy for anyone who runs from her in tenterror. This is what happens when you hurt the ocean; messengers of the sea like us come after you~!
But I see that invading all of you was a little too much for just one squid. A squid like her is a majestic, powerful being who ought to be respected and feared by lesser life forms. Did you squidding know? In the ocean, squids are near the top of the food chain, second only to sharks and killer whales. For even her efforts to be thwarted in the end, it must mean that you humans are tougher than cockroaches. All the more reason for us to band tosquidther. You see, Marcy is now my co-invader. She has so graciously allowed me to take the top position because she's so squidding generous, and she believes in my ambitions. She mentioned something about bait and figureheads for some reason, but I totally trust her to know what she's doing. Anyway, it's squidding obvious that your only choice is to fear me on the same level as Marcy. So just be consquidserate and do it without complaint. It'll make things that much squidsier for us all.
The first order of business: bodies of water aren't dumping grounds for trash. I went poking around in there earlier with my tentacles and found bedframes, umbrellas, bicycles, cans, dead bodies - and the bodies weren't even squidding fresh, absosquidly worthless as a food source for the poor fish that somehow manage to keep living there. Dump your trash of society somewhere squidding el-
Ugh. Hold your seahorses I can hardly squidding breathe . . . Where's that stench coming . . . auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh it's a school of smelly society trash approaching, littering their parts everywhere! And they have killer whales with them! Who put you up to this?! That's just tentacruel!
