Octonauts Creation

[CAPTAIN BARNACLES] - Captain Barnacles is the captain, leader and the main protagonist of the Octonauts and a brave polar bear. Along with being the captain, Barnacles is also the strongest member of the crew. He's also one of the most level-headed crew members, often dismissing Kwazii's outlandish stories about sea monsters and ghosts. His crew has a lot of respect for him. It's also been revealed that he rather fancies playing the accordion. Rather unfortunately, he has trouble playing it well. So far, the only ones to appreciate the music have been a pod of Orcas. He is also an oceanographer and a map finder. Captain Barnacles is also very fond of the Arctic Circle, as that is where he grew up with his twin sister Bianca. Captain Barnacles speaks with a British accent. It is revealed that he can rather be embarrassed by situations he gets into. He mispronounces Shellington's name and gets his sentences mixed up when he looks at what's coming to him. he has claustrophobia after being stuck inside an ice cave/hole as a cub.

[KWAZII] - Kwazii is a daredevil cat with a mysterious pirate past. He loves storms, exploring, general excitement and swashbuckling. He is also the second-in-command of the Octonauts. Kwazii is one of the best drivers on the Octopod as he often takes his favourite Gup, the Gup-B, out for driving practice. Kwazii can also pilot the Octopod's steering wheel but he appears to enjoy taking a very bumpy and roundabout way to the destination. As befitting a pirate and an old-fashioned sailor, Kwazii believes in many different kinds of sea monsters and legendary beasts. Oftentimes he seems to try and scare his crewmate Peso with his spooky stories. And usually his tales have some basis in fact, such as Vampire Squid and mantis shrimp. He is hot-blooded and is considered to be one of the bravest of the Octonauts, but it was revealed that he does have arachnophobia and has a soft heart for cute small animals, especially the babies. He does not like Octopod chores that he deems boring like cleaning or science, and is always up for a little excitement. In many episodes, it is shown that he isn't very patient. Kwazii speaks with a Cockney accent and a typical sea ferrying dialect. He has also found out that his grandfather, Calico Jack, is still alive and looked for the hidden golden city with him. He is shown to have a friendly rivalry with Captain Barnacles. He also knows Captain Barnacles well enough to guess that he didn't like enclosed spaces. He hates the cold, and typically requires hot cocoa before exploring an area of the Arctic or Antarctic with the other Octonauts.

[PESO] - Peso is the medical officer for the Octonauts. He has become braver over time. He is a small, a very kind-hearted penguin from a really large family that branches off into different species. He likes having a big family as they all look out for each other. Peso loves to help any injured creature, from blob fish to sharks to yellow bellied sea snakes. He is very shy and gets scared easily by Kwazii's spooky stories, but he can be brave when there is someone who needs his help. He has a younger brother named Pinto who thinks he is a real hero and is smaller than him. Pinto has even been to visit him a few times at the Octopod. He is the second-smallest (and the only avian) in the Octonauts crew. Peso is often the first to show fear when a mission involves any kind of danger, but he has shown that he is very capable of pulling through even the most stressful situations. He tends to always say "I help any creature who is hurt or sick no matter what." Unlike most of the crew, he can go underwater without a helmet- he can hold his breath for a long time like any penguin. However, he still wears a helmet and air tank underwater. He's a medic, often gaining the trust of injured or frightened sea creatures far easier than his crew mates due to his gentle personality and politeness. He's able to bandage them up even quicker, and often he gives the patient a sticker. Like Captain Barnacles, Peso also has a love for a specific kind of instrument, the xylophone. Speaks with a Hispanic accent. Peso can also steer the Octopod, and although we only see him in one episode driving it, he seems to be able to drive it decently after learning how. Peso shows that he loves wrapping presents, and is rather good at it, thanks to his bandage-wrapping skill. Peso helped Sonny the seahorse give birth to his babies and he and Janis are really happy about Peso's help, very similar to a human giving birth, but differently, because Sonny is a male seahorse.

[SHELLINGTON] - Shellington is the Octopod's marine biologist who speaks with a Scottish accent. He loves doing field research and working in his lab. Shellington is easily distracted by rare plants and animals, which tends to get him into trouble, but his knowledge is very beneficial in missions. He is very studious about marine life and is passionate for studying the subjects in his lab. Though he may be knowledgeable about marine life, Shellington is a terrible driver as he has crashed the Gup-D at least three times, and the Gup-E at least once. When out on missions, he's typically sitting in the rear or in the passenger seat. However, he is portrayed as a decent driver in a few episodes, particularly when he mobilizes the Gup-C, contradicting his reckless driving in other episodes. Kwazii has attempted to give him a driving lesson, but it didn't completely work out. Some of his talents include playing the harp, playing the piano, golfing, drawing, sleeping during missions, crashing the Gups, identifying different creatures, helping the Octonauts on numerous occasions, and being humorous. Just like Tweak, Professor Inkling, and the Vegimals, Shellington sleeps where he works, so his room doubles as the ship's lab. The shelves are filled with many different samples that he has collected while out on missions. This is where he is usually found, viewing samples through his microscope. When not in his room, he is also found in his seat up in the HQ where he assists Dashi with the ship's computers. He is usually with Dashi during missions. Shellington has an older sister named Pearl and a little nephew named Periwinkle. He is also allergic to red sea urchins, a delicacy for sea otters. His allergies is one reason why he is a member of the Octonauts.

[DASHI] - Dashi is the Octonaut crew's sweet-natured IT officer and photographer. She is one of the only females, other than Tweak and Tominnow, on the Octonauts crew. She is the older sister of Koshi. Dashi is a Dachshund Dog who controls all of the computers, communication devices, and remote steering for the Octopod. She is a meteorologist as well, as she often is the one monitoring the weather forecasts on the Octopod storm tracker. She is also the crew's official photographer, taking pictures of the different creatures the Octonauts meet. Dashi normally stays on the Octopod to coordinate missions on an advisory capacity, but she has joined in on a number of missions before, and has even done a solo mission that involved taking photos of various sea life, sunken ships, and long-lost treasures. She has a lighter voice with an American accent instead. Normally, Dashi is seen in her seat up in the HQ next to her crewmate and fellow Octonaut, Shellington, whom she has done several missions with before, like staying down in the Mariana Trench for a few weeks or looking for different creatures in any ocean they visit. She's also usually seen in her room on the Octopod, which is on the other side of Peso's room, where the décor of it reveals her as being very feminine. The walls are pink and she's normally seen either messing with her favorite camera, sitting at her vanity, or reading. She sleeps with pink headphones listening to soothing music. Dashi has a well-behaved younger sister named Koshi who is an amateur detective who helped the Octonauts on a few missions.

[PROFESSOR INKLING] - Professor Inkling is the venerable founder of the Octonauts. He is an Octopus and has a deep understanding of marine life. Inkling founded the Octonauts to promote marine research and preservation. Aside from being their founder, Inkling is also their oceanography professor. He rarely ever goes out on missions, but he has gone on a few. Instead, he prefers to help the team from his library in the Octopod. However, Professor Inkling showed his physical prowess when connected to the Octopod to combat The Colossal Squid. He claimed to be an expert at tentacle wrestling. Unlike the other Octonauts, Professor Inkling (along with the Vegimals) is an amphibious creature and does not need a helmet or air tank. He is capable of breathing in and out of the water. But, like 'Captain Barnacles', he also possesses certain attributes pertaining to his species. He admits being able to squirt ink for protection and has little suckers on his arms for him to move and climb. Inkling is almost always in his 3 chairs: his small chair in the HQ, his large barrel in the launch bay, and his chair in his library. Just like 'Tweak', the Vegimals, and 'Shellington' who all seem to sleep where they work, it's believed that the same can be said for Inkling. He too appears to live and sleep where he works, which is the Octopod's library. He is probably the oldest Octonaut, judging by the monocle and his collection of old books. He also speaks highly of his family who themselves have written books. His known family members are his great-grandfather, Squirt, and his cousin Irving.

[TWEAK] - Tweak is the engineer for the Octopod. It is her job to make sure that everything is running smoothly below deck in the engine room and to maintain all the Octonaut vehicles. She has even invented a number of new machines for the Octonauts, most notably the Gup submersibles. She is also the daughter of Ranger Marsh and an unnamed mother. She likes to build and fix things, but she doesn't like how 'Kwazii' or 'Shellington' crash the Gups (mostly the Gup-B and D) and is forced to fix them again and again as a result. The many machines and devices Tweak invents sometimes work out in unexpected ways. She is one of the only three females on the Octonauts crew, with the other two being 'Dashi' and 'Tominnow' the Vegimal. Unlike most of the other members of the crew that have rooms up in the pods, Tweak lives and sleeps where she works the most and that's down in the launch bay. She sleeps without pajamas and has her toolbelt and bandana on when sleeping in her bed. She's not always down in the launch bay, though. One time, she was found up in the garden pod growing her favourite food: fresh carrots. She is best friends with 'Dashi' and 'Sandy' the Leatherback Sea Turtle. Tweak has a Southern accent when she speaks.
