Mimic the Octopus Diamond Cutters

Mimic has an inner voice that never shuts off. While he acts, while he smiles, while he appears to be listening, his mind is already processing how to use that information to his advantage. e.g.: (What?)

Who are they?

The Diamond Cutters began as an elite anti-Eggman mercenary group. They weren't Resistance heroes; they were professionals who charged for the most dangerous jobs no one else wanted to do. They took on high-risk assignments, raiding fortified bases and wreaking havoc across Eggman's empire.

What was its purpose?

Their purpose was simple: to complete missions that other teams couldn't or wouldn't attempt. They were a special operations unit that operated with a flat structure (without a rigid chain of command), relying on the individual skills of each member and their synchronized communication through the masks Smithy designed for them.

members: Smithy the Lion - Leader/Armor Maker (Vulcan Raven) · Whisper the Wolf - Scouts/Sniper (Sniper Wolf) · Slinger the Ocelot - Marksman/Shooter (Ocelot Revolver) · Claire Voyance - Seer/Intelligence (Psycho Mantis) Mimic - Infiltrator/Shapeshifter (Decoy Octopus)

Mimic's perspective on other people's abilities:

He knows Whisper is a lethal sniper with sharp instincts, but he also knows her greatest weakness is her loyalty. He knows Slinger is a skilled but impulsive shooter, and that his overconfidence makes him predictable. He knows Claire has intuition and can detect lies, but he also knows her affection for him blinds her. He knows Smithy is a talented gunsmith and a competent leader, but that his trust in the team is his blind spot.

Social and family circle:

Blue Wisp: His companion and confidant. The only being with whom he has a genuine bond, even if he won't admit it. Blue accompanies him on missions, feeds his Cube Wisp, and understands him without words. But Mimic knows Blue is loyal because he doesn't understand betrayal. He doesn't yet know that Blue will abandon him the moment of betrayal.

Whisper: He sees her as a useful but naive tool. She was the one who recruited him, and he knows her overconfidence is her greatest weakness. He respects her as a sharpshooter, but considers her emotionally predictable. He knows that if things get ugly, she'll hesitate before acting.

Slinger: He sees him as a big kid with guns. He's the easiest to fool and the least suspicious of him. Slinger treats him like a friend, and Mimic tolerates it because it's useful. He knows Slinger trusts him blindly, and that makes him useful.

Claire: He knows she secretly admires him. He gives her crumbs of attention to keep her close and prevent her from becoming suspicious. He respects her intuition, but he also knows that her affection for him blinds her. She's a tool he can use whenever he wants.

Smithy sees him as a reliable leader, but also as a surrogate father who doesn't ask too many questions. Smithy trusts him because he believes in the team. Mimic respects him as an armorer, but knows his trust is naive. He knows Smithy won't question him until it's too late.

Fact: He hasn't betrayed the team yet, but he's already plotting his escape. His Blue Wisp is still with him, but it will abandon him the moment he betrays them. He's the only invertebrate member of the team, which contributes to his feeling of not belonging. When he shapeshifts, his eyes always remain a dull brown, regardless of who he's mimicking. He also has a sinister smile when he's about to use a weapon or is in control. He whistles when he's relaxed or happy, but it's not a constant habit. He knows how to use computers and analyze systems.

Weakness and fear: Being discovered (having someone see behind his mask), genuine affection (he doesn't know what to do with it), being ignored, unsolicited gifts (he interprets them as manipulation), having someone see his dull brown eyes when he transforms (this is his main flaw). Whisper is a threat because he has an instinct for detecting lies.

History: Mimic worked as a stuntman at a recording studio. He always offered his services as a double, even unsolicited. He was rejected. When the Badniks attacked, the studio exploded, and he survived by transforming into an Egg Pawn. He ended up in shelters, joining various teams and deserting them when he sensed danger. Whisper found him and recruited him for the Diamond Cutters, impressed by his shapeshifting and acting abilities. He gained everyone's trust: Slinger treats him like a friend, Claire secretly admires him, and Smithy trusts him as a leader. But he's already plotting his escape and sizing everyone up to see how he can use them. At this stage, he hasn't betrayed anyone yet, but he's already convinced that loyalty is for the weak.

Skills: Metamorphosis (can copy appearances and voices, but with limitations: darker colors, visible suckers, dull brown eyes), acting (can hold a mask for long periods), emotional manipulation (uses guilt and the past to disarm opponents), stealth, knife and Cube Wispon combat, use of technology (can access computers and systems). Tentacles: When desperately restraining someone, he traps them with his suckers; he also uses them at key moments, but usually prefers to fight with his hands.

Values ​​and beliefs: "Heroes become martyrs, professionals stay alive." "Friendship is a weakness." "If they don't look at you, you don't exist." "Loyalty is for those who have no other choice." "The mask is more important than the truth."

---Goals: Survive. Secure your exit from the team. Erase your past. Have an exit strategy when necessary.

Academic background: Frustrated actor. He worked in a recording studio (local channel, production company, or dubbing studio) before the war. He learned how to manipulate and perform in show business. He knows how to use computers and troubleshoot systems; he's not digitally illiterate.

Tastes and interests (hobbies): Acting and shapeshifting (showing off their abilities), people-watching, masks (the concept of concealing one's identity), being the infiltrator, sugary drinks (Perfect Chaos Cola, Chaos Cola, tapioca bubble tea, vanilla milkshakes). Enjoying energy bars and cookies as fast food.

Favorite food and drink: Perfect Chaos Cola, Chaos Cola, tapioca bubble tea, vanilla milkshakes. Energy bars and cookies.

His hobby: He observes people. He studies their gestures, tones of voice, and weaknesses so he can use them later. He also enjoys sweet drinks when he has the chance. He likes to whistle when he's relaxed or happy, but it's not a constant habit; it appears in moments of satisfaction, such as when a plan goes well or when he feels in control.

Expressions (how he acts and his actions): With his team, he's friendly, helpful, and trustworthy. He offers help without being asked and listens more than he speaks. When praised, he smiles, but his smile doesn't reach his eyes. When ignored, he withdraws silently, without saying goodbye. When he lies, his tentacles twitch slightly, but his face remains blank. When alone, he lets his mask fall. He has a knack for entering places without permission, as if he has a right to be anywhere. In private, he laughs at the stupidity of others. When he uses a weapon or is in control, his smile turns cold and smug. Intrusive thoughts: You have an inner voice that never shuts off. While you're acting, while you're smiling, while you seem to be listening, your mind is already processing how to use that information to your advantage.

He wears a circular, cream-colored mask with a blue eye on the left side and three holes on the right, which allows him to communicate with the team, translate the Wisps' language, and record missions. However, he doesn't use it often, only on missions.

Distinctive features: Eyes without pupils, visible suction cups on hands and feet, team mask, observer stance, tentacles that move slightly when lying.
