Residents of Octopia, meet your heroes - the Scavenger Team!
Millicent is the definition of the perfect soldier - powerful, determined, and hard working. She's also one of the strongest Elites left, only rivalled in strength by Felicia, her oldest friend. Although she seems cold at first, she soon warms up to people, though keeps a serious tone at all times. As the captain of this platoon, she leads the group through the deserted domes and makes the final decision on what scrap to take and what to leave behind.
Claire always puts fashion before everything, even commissioning a unique armour plate for her role in the team. She constantly tries new styles with the few materials she has access to, and is probably the most popular person in Octopia, aside from Four of course. You may think she's only been placed on the team just to boost its popularity, but underneath that cool exterior, she's a fierce warrior with deadly skills. Acting as Millicent's second in command (hence the singular seaweed on her goggles), she keeps morale high with her positive attitude.
Obi is one of the oldest Octosnipers, even having battled the original Agent 3 in Octo Valley. Though it was there that he discovered he had an irrational fear of inklings, and so he started training other Octosnipers for combat instead. When Four arrived, his phobia sparked up again, but he soon realised there was nothing to fear and now he's pretty good friends with her. Obi uses his goggles and his keen eyesight to spot intact technology within the darkness of the defunct domes, and also carries tools just in case.
Oona is an extremely rare Blue Ringed Octarian, which means she is smaller (but certainly not weaker) than other Octohurlers. DJ Octavio originally planned for a specific unit within the army just for Blue Ringed Octarians, which means she was constantly on standby for combat, but this never came to be as there was never enough Blue Ringed individuals. She studied technology in the meantime, and is now the smartest technician in Octopia - these skills certainly come in handy, as she examines scrap to work out what technology they need from the rubble.
And finally, Samuel, a humanoid Octarian like the Octo Samurai. Since there's no concrete lore for this subspecies - not even an official name - I've decided how this all works ':)
As a quick summary, instead of letting a cut off hair tentacle develop normally, it can be taken and genetically altered into a humanoid Octarian. This means that they're specifically designed for a purpose, like the Octo Samurai was created just to wield the Great Octoweapon - but Samuel doesn't know his purpose. In fact, no-one knows who designed him, with the only mark of his creator being the heart at the end of his tail. Obviously this has left him with a deep sense of inadequacy and he often questions why he was made.
Fortunately for him, he has found a purpose within the Scavenger Team. He's incredibly strong, which is useful for clearing a path through the rubble, and he also carries all the scrap they take in a backpack. For once, he doesn't feel like such an outcast - he's a hero.
