Personalities[]
Barry[]
On air and during performances, Barry presents himself as an energetic rockstar, always doing what he can to make sure all eyes are on him. In reality, he's much more mellow and enjoys being able to make friends through his music career with Reif.
Reif[]
Reif has his public image that sort of counters Barry in a way. He's much more serious and snarky, often known for messing with Barry on air. However, small occasions do arise where Reif tends to break character, to where he isn't as serious as he tries to paint himself to be, and is in fact quite playful alongside his aloof exterior.
History[]
(NOTE: You can find extra info on Barry and Reif on the Project Snapper Wiki!)
In the beginning, Barry and Reif were both members of the Octarian Military, Reif actually being an elite compared to Barry and leading a squad that both of them were in. It took up until the second defeat of their leader, DJ Octavio, for them to finally come to their senses and leave their militaristic lifestyle behind.
They spent a few months in Inkopolis at first, tring to find themselves somewhat and, after seeing the fame Off the Hook gained, they decided that they would ultimately try to start a band together. However, they didn't stay in inkopolis forever, catching a plane together to New Sardine in hopes they could start their music careers there.
It wasn't easy, but eventually the two started to rise in popularity among the people of the Big Snapper, to the point where they'd even go on to become the hosts of Snapper News.
Of course, they were never alone in the journey up, as this fame seemed to rise alongside Deep Dive, to the point where both groups are considered to have a "friendly competition" with one another aside from collaborations.

Trivia[]
- Barry and Reif's names together are a pun on the Great Barrier Reef , the largest coral reef system in the world.
- The "Ft. Deep Dive" variant of "Now or Never!" only plays alongside "Paint the Planet!".
- Barry and Reif were originally going to be based on two types of octopuses, specifically Barry was originally going to be a Common Sydney Octopus while Reif was going to be a Blue-Ring Octopus. The idea was scrapped, however.
- That being said, this idea is nodded at through their japanese names, Madako (マダコ, Common Octopus) and Kanjo Tako (環状タコ, Ringed Octopus)
