Introduction I guess
Konnichiwa, -san, welcome to my user page, where anyone, guy, girl, enban (enby version of man or woman), or anything in-between is welcome. I'm confused as to how you might have found this page, considering the fact that I'm pretty new here, but I'm ArivakiVA. I haven't worked on very many pages yet, but I'm eventually going to try and work to be part of this community's staff one day. I hope to become an admin or a patroller, but not for a long time.

Random info (on wiki and in-game)
My friend code is SW-6014-8770-6718, and my username should currently be indie!. My private battle alias is normally Hero. I don't accept friend requests at random, I only accept if I recognize your name (and yes, recognizing your name from the wiki also counts). Please let me know if you're gonna send a friend request though. I have an alt account on this wiki by the name of Superlunary, if things on this account go wrong in some way. I hosted the Chocolate vs. Vanilla Inkfest. For those who participated/voted (aka @Platelet and @Xandpochondria), if you would like a Barnsquid, ask and you shall receive (it will take a while though). Thanks for participating. :) I have a few friends on this wiki, they are: @Hae's Home for Flowers, @Ratch, @Xandpochondria, @Oddlilgoof and @Jacobearth! Go check them out, they're very friendly and cool!

Here is my Splashtag (for the most part):



Contributions
I have worked on a few weapon pages, special pages, and manga character pages, but I will probably try to help with the current projects, such as unfinished pages or stubs. I also do small Japanese translations (I know very small amounts of Japanese) and grammar and spelling edits. I'm a pretty new person here, so I'm just a normal user with pretty much no wiki experience. Basically that means don't ask me anything complicated. Here are my sandboxes if you wanna see them (although the second one is kinda boring). User:ArivakiVA/Sandbox, User:ArivakiVA/Sandbox2. If there was a job that involved greeting new wiki members and resolving discussions on talk pages, that's pretty much what I do around here. I also have a lot of interest in lore, and I'm currently digging through S2 and 3 lore. I also like puns. If you have a project or infobox, or something you need help with, I'm normally not busy, so feel free to ask!

More info (S2 and S3)
As for actually introducing myself...well, let's start out with my S3 and S2 accomplishments, I guess. I was around a few years late to S2, and I managed to get to level 72, I think. I mained the Fresh Squiffer, the Inkbrush, and the Gold Dynamo Roller. My favorite special was tied between Inkjet and Splashdown. I beat Inner Agent 3 a few times (5-7), a few times for fun, and a few times for other's accounts. As for S3, I was a couple days late and I'm level 24. Anyway, I've almost 100% Alterna, I just haven't fully upgraded my Hero Gear or gotten all the Sunken Scrolls. My catalog level is 42. My mains are the Classic Squiffer, the Inkbrush, the Splatana Wiper, the Tentatek Splattershot, the Inkbrush Nouveau, and the Nautilus 47. My username in S3 is ★Kaidou☆. I play as an octoling boy. As a question, what did you all name your little buddies, and what do they look like? Tell me in my talk page (mine is named Hector after my pet rock and he has the mohawk haircut). I also Booyah back 99% of the time. As for my Splatfest teams, I only participated in 2 S2 fests, being Super Mushroom vs. Super Star, and Chaos vs. Order. For SM vs. SS, I was team Super Star, and Chaos vs. Order, team Chaos! In S3, I was team Rock, Grub, Fire, and Sweet (Frye sweep!!!).

My octo's appearance (bc image uploading sucks):

Masculine octoling, Palest skin color, white eyes + black pupils, usually the punk, octolocks, or surfcurl hairstyle, and the thick or slit eyebrows (Outfit varies, but you can usually see me wearing glasses of some kind)

Splatoon Preferences and small side note
I'm a little socially awkward (yes, even online), but I promise that I'm friendly. I really love music and drawing, so if you wanna talk about that kind of thing, feel free, I guess! I'm also really sarcastic, so just don't take everything I say too seriously. My favorite idols from the Splatoon series are Pearl, Callie, Marie, Frye, and Shiver. I have read the Splatoon Manga as well, and my favorite characters from there are Rider, Vintage, Emperor, Squidkid Jr./Eging, Skull, Gloves, Marusan, Hivemind, and Hachi.

OCs (+small thing ig)
I have a bunch of OCs for pretty much every fandom I'm in...which is definitely a lot, due to my nerdiness and geekiness. My favorite Splatoon OCs are; Tokyo (my main OC, octoling enby), Remiel (octoling boy), Alastor (Inktoling boy), and Arin (inkling boy). I write fanfic. (Not the creepy/cringey kind though) No, I will not post any for a while, but feel free to give suggestions on what I should write.

Inkfests
These are Inkfests that I joined or created/hosted.

Music, video game, and movie taste
IRL, I like indie music, mostly Wallows, Cavetown, Jack Stauber, Mitski, and I think bo en is indie? I also like rock music, my favorite artists being Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC, and Motley Crue. Feel free to recommend other artists though! After all, my taste in music is really eclectic. In Splatoon, my favorite music artists are dedf1sh, Chirpy Chips, C-Side, Squid Sisters, Damp Socks ft. Off the Hook, Diss-Pair, and Wet Floor. I also am a massive gamer, and again, I love indies! My favorite video games are OMORI, Undertale, Borderlands 2, Borderlands 3 (haven't played but will soon bc I've watched other people play), Legend of Zelda OoT (Ocarina of Time), Deltarune, and, of course, Splatoon 2 and 3 (I could honestly talk about any of these games for literal hours, I love them so much)! I also love anime, the one I'm currently (re)watching being 'The Disastrous Life of Saiki K'! I love movies, my top 5 favorites being Bullet Train, Chronicle, Spirited, The Breakfast Club, and Wolf Walkers. I'm also one of those psychos who loves school, despite possible autism and ADHD. I'm also a weirdo. ...Yeah, I'm not kidding. I also use Japanese honorifics for people, but if you don't want me to refer to you with one, just ask! Feel free to tell me if I might have misgendered you as well!

For the geeks/nerds (yes I know that they're different)
For the other nerds out there: Ravenclaw house, Corrin, Cloud, Robin, Ness/Lucas, Inkling, and Roy main, Winter sympathizer, Team Monarch fan, and Team Chaos!

See ya!
In any case, I hope that you have fun around here, and if you're completely new here, just ask me stuff on my talk page (just click the thing that says discussion, it's underneath my name) and I'll try to help you as best I can, or go to the staff page (which is on the left side of the page, under community), and ask one of the staff. Forget about me, though. I'm such a rambler, I forgot about how cool YOU are!

You have edits! And you signed up on ! You're amazing! Anyway, stay cool, stay fresh, and stay YOU! :)
