Team Cyan

Mask usually has a distinctively tired appearance due to his droopy eyelids, hunched back, and strained hands. Like a typical Inkling, he has pointed ears, and is assumed to have sharp teeth (though his face hasn’t been revealed). His ink and eye color is cyan to match his team's motif, but he can change color at will. He has the Topknot hairstyle and Classic Shorts. He wears a Gas Mask, Purple Camo LS, and Green Rain Boots. His appearance ever so slightly changes when the manga transitions into the Splatoon 2 era, now wearing the Drawstring Cargo Pants instead of the Classic Shorts. He uses a Carbon roller Deco. He has hay fever.

Mask, on the far left, wears his signature black gas mask over his face, completely obscuring his features except for his glowing cyan eyes visible through the round glass lenses. His tentacles are pulled back tightly into a top knot, and he wears a purple and dark blue camouflage-patterned long-sleeve shirt, plain black shorts, and heavy, dark green rubber boots with thick orange soles.

Mask claims to despise happy, positive people, making him somewhat nihilistic. Said fact explains his distaste for Aloha and Blue Team, especially Bobble Hat. Even after their match, he considers them an "enemy." He likes tricky tactics both on and off the field, luring Blue into an ambush with an anonymous text message and laying sub weapons during the match. Throughout it, he has a threatening and hostile demeanour, though Blue team were largely unaffected.

Despite his unfriendly manners, he admits to genuinely enjoying himself when he fights alongside the Cyan team. He also tends to be a 'straight man,' most notably seen in the same Grizzco Shift when his co-workers, Emperor, Gloves, and Goggles, didn't know what to do.

Before joining the squad, Full Moon Glasses spent most of her free time hiding away in the back rows of Inkopolis comic book shops and manga cafes. She actually met Mask at a local arcade while they were both trying to secure the high score on a retro gaming machine, bonded over a shared love for obscure media, and was invited to the team shortly after. Her habit of constantly giggling stems from her habit of reading funny webcomics on her Splatphone under the table, even during team strategy meetings. She uses a luna blaster.

True to her mysterious nature, Full Moon Glasses is a deeply introverted nerd who rarely speaks full sentences, preferring to communicate through soft, cryptic giggles like "Teehee." Despite her quiet demeanor, she isn't an outcast; she deeply enjoys hanging out with her teammates and is completely content sitting in the corner of their hangout spot with a fresh comic book in hand. She possesses a gentle, observant intelligence that allows her to fit perfectly into Team Cyan's dynamic without ever needing to shout to be heard.

Full Moon Glasses, standing second from the left, is a female Inkling with long cyan tentacles framing her face and a small top knot at the back. She wears large, round, thick-rimmed glasses over her cyan eyes, a bright yellow oversized sweater featuring a black Inkling turf war graphic, short black shorts, and high-top yellow boots with matching yellow laces.

Designer headphones, third from the left, is a male Inkling with short, swept-back cyan tentacles, thick eyebrows, and distinct purple, black, and green headphones resting over his ears. He sports a cat mouth like expression, wearing a light green and white plaid button-up shirt, short black shorts, and dark grey athletic sneakers with black laces.

Designer Headphones was originally just a regular customer at a local clothing boutique who got dragged into Turf Wars purely by accident. He had wandered into a tournament venue looking for a quiet bench to space out on, accidentally walked right onto the battlefield, and ended up wandering around the map completely unfazed by the crossfire. Mask saw his total lack of awareness as a brilliant psychological tactic to confuse opponents and recruited him on the spot, even though Designer headphones still isn't entirely sure what team he is playing for. He uses a Tri-slosher.

He is profoundly, hilariously clueless—to the point where he genuinely doesn't even comprehend his own existence or the concept of happiness. Despite carrying a layer of cynical grumpiness that fits right in with Mask's vibe, he is actually a thoroughly nice guy at heart who means well. His cynicism doesn't come from malice, but rather from the fact that he is constantly wandering through life in a confused, spaced-out haze, completely unaware of what is going on around him.

Jersey built her reputation in casual, low-stakes backyard Turf Wars, where she became notorious for hiding in tiny patches of ink and popping out to surprise unsuspecting passersby. She joins tournaments purely for the thrill of the trick, having met the rest of Team Cyan when she successfully ambushed Mask during a casual match and made him drop his soda. Her signature white visor was a cheap convenience store purchase she bought on a whim just to keep the stadium lights out of her eyes. She uses a N-Zap '89

Sly, sheepish, and highly playful, Jersey is a trickster who thrives on catching both her opponents and her own friends completely off guard with sudden surprises. She loves a good prank, but beneath her mischievous exterior lies a fiercely competitive streak that flares up the moment things go wrong. If Team Cyan suffers a loss, her playful attitude instantly vanishes, replaced by a dark, incredibly grumpy mood that makes her entirely unapproachable until she gets a chance to win her next match. Jersey, on the far right, is a female Inkling with long cyan tentacles, a wide, sheepish, and a white visor cap perched on her head. Her outfit consists of a dark blue athletic zip-up jacket with white stripes down the sleeves, a small number seven printed on the chest, black shorts, white tube socks with blue and green stripes, and dark blue sneakers with white laces.
