SilentNJust a Splatoon concept I've had in my head for awhile: What if, to mirror the Squid Sisters of Inkopolis, there existed among the Octarians a pair of Octoling idols called the Octo Brothers? And just as the Squid Sisters are the granddaughters of Captain Cuttlefish, the Octo Brothers would be the grandsons of DJ Octavio and serve as commanders in his Octarian army. In this concept; it would be they who pilot the Great Octo Weapons rather than those mindless, severed tentacles in Splatoon 1 and 2, bringing much banter and personality into the boss fights.
I call these characters Davy (left) and Jones (right). The names, of course, coming from the term "Davy Jones' Locker"; an old nickname which sailors would often use to refer to the unsalvageable depths of the sea. Plus, their initials spell "DJ", referring to their grandfather being DJ Octavio.
Davy is the more energetic and hyperactive of the two brothers, serving as the counterpart to Callie (whom he may or may not secretly find attractive). He has a short attention span, enjoys a good fight, and tends to enthusiastically jump straight into the action without thinking. His signature ink color is purple in contrast to Callie's pink, and his favorite weapon is the Octobrush as opposed to the Roller. His official title in the Octarian army is "Commander 1" (mirroring Callie's position as Agent 1 in the New Squidbeak Splatoon) and he would first pilot the Octo-Stomp and later the Octo-Whirler.
Jones is the quiet one and tends to be the brains of the two brothers, serving as the counterpart of Marie. He is far less enthusiastic than his brother and instead tends toward a stubbornly pessimistic attitude (much like Zor of the Deadly Six from 'Sonic: Lost World' or like Larry from 'Pokemon Scarlet & Violet'). His signature ink color is emerald-green in contrast to Marie's lime-green, and he prefers one-shoting his opponents up close with a Blaster rather than from afar with a Charger. His official title in the Octarian army is "Commander 2" (mirroring Marie's position in the NSS as Agent 2) and he would first pilot the Octo-Nozzle and later the Octo-Maw.
Despite their alliance to the bad guys, neither of the Octo Brothers are truly evil at heart. Their motives drive more from being eager to please their grandfather whom they look up to rather than out of malice towards the Inklings. And although they would never dare to admit it (not even to each other) they both secretly enjoy listening to the Squid Sisters' music and would gladly perform a collaboration with them if only they weren't mortal enemies.
