Thorne

Thorne is the second in command of The Wave Crashers after the other team member left. He is also Spyke's childhood friend.

Coincidentally, he slightly resembles an older version of Ebony.

Appearance
Thorne is a light-skinned male inkling with purple eyes. His most notable piece of gear is the conductor's cap atop his head, which he almost never takes off. Two dark tentacles are brushed forwards, while two are parted like bangs on his head. There is also a longer tentacle on the side of his face, and once by the back of his neck. His winter gear is a black down jacket with a hood.

When not wearing the Wave Crasher gear of a torn purple vest, ripped jeans, and black spiky boots, Thorne wears a black inky rider with any sort of boots. The conductor's cap stays.

Thorne crossdresses sometimes, though it is not something he is ashamed of. He insists that "clothing shouldn't be gendered".

Personality
Thorne is more of a trickster, using words and feelings to manipulate others. He might lie his way out of a situation or flirt with someone to confuse them or gain an advantage. He isn't constantly sucking up to people 24/7 though, and when he's not out being mean to people he's by himself minding his own business. He still has his own moral compass, and most of the time he knows when to call it quits on something.

Since him and Spyke were childhood friends, he also enjoys pranks. His sense of humor is mildly degraded, so even super stupid things like bread falling over might make him laugh. Thorne also likes to defy society's standards by wearing more feminine things, but only on occasion.

Powers
He is not noted to have any superpowers of the sort. The heavy splatling isn't a heavyweight weapon, so he's actually one of the physically weaker members of The Wave Crashers (he's not as built as the heavyweight users, and doesn't actively seek to become physically stronger).

He is good at lying or flirting to get his way, but he is exceptional at crossdressing/cosplaying to the point he's made several aliases without many realizing.

Role
Prior to Permafrost, he lived a good life before an accident happened and he had to move to Laocrah Town.

In Permafrost, him, along with the rest of his crew, are Ryn's Turf War opponents one regular day, until Thrash is burned by Ryn's ink and starts several fights with her and her friends. He also later sacrifices himself so that Fang can get away from the Frost Army. He does not appear for the majority of the story, and comes up later when Thrash frees him and Spyke. Fang later finds the three, and they take down the Infernos together. Fang later betrays the Wave Crashers again, and Thorne, Spyke, and Thrash are all frozen by Corrin and the Nitro Blade before being thrown back into the dungeon. He eventually flees with the others when Misty causes the Ice Kingdom to collapse, and him and the others make it home safely.
