Debut: A few months before the original series starts, same day Peso joins (I hc Peso to be still be a pretty recent join when the series starts even outside of this au)
Role: No specific role when he first joins, later documents social behaviors of whatever animals they meet to the best of his ability. Generally is very adaptable to any role or task that might be needed at any moment, and frequently goes with Shellington on his field research. He also assists in the kitchen frequently.
Home: The Octopod, sleeping in a converted storage room that was previously not used much
Physical Appearance: From head to toe, he's covered in dark brown fur. He has large ears, and a very big tail. He has long tufts of fur on top of his head and his cheeks, and a darker brown fluffy neck that his octo-helmet collar goes over. He wears blue boots and usually wears a blue satchel similar to Shellington's when on missions
More detail design guide/me yapping about how he was made here, and clothing concept here
Personality: Quite timid and shy, though will often open up to others easily when shown some friendliness. Gets easily distracted.
Likes: Living on the Octopod, taking it easy whenever possible, kelp cakes, the underwater view, talking with any of the crew, meeting many animals/sea creatures.
Favorite Sea Creature: Manta ray
Dislikes: Being woken up at night from the Octo Alert, loud noises in general.
Fears: Being alone/abandoned, being a burden on others, any potential damage on any of the Octopod's windows.
Trivia:
He has an ask blog! @brown-the-octonaut
Brown's favorite color is Brown (Shocker, I know.)
He was originally supposed to receive a pod room on the Octopod, with Peso sleeping in the medbay instead. But for a few reasons, Brown declined, therefore Peso was placed in a pod room.
His favorite kelp cake flavors are Classic, Chocolate, and Pancake.
Secretly writes down when he catches any of his fellow Octonauts exhibiting behavior typical to their species.
Sometimes completely forgets to write notes on and/or barely recognizes certain behaviors from the creatures he meets
He's the second shortest member of the Octonauts, first being Peso. (at least of the Octonauts that stand on two legs)
Really good sense of hearing! Bit sensitive tho
Doesn't drive any of the GUPs often, and thus isn't that good of a driver, as he prefers to be a passenger.
Relationships (some might be a bit ooc sry, this section is somewhat outdated)
Peso: Having both joined the same day, the two naturally became close. Peso often lets him come into his room anytime since he feels bad for taking the pod room, and they've even had a few sleepovers in said room.
Shellington: Brown really likes Shellington. He often hangs with him as much as possible, and likes listening to him ramble about various sea creatures. Sometimes even goes with Shellington when he does field research.
Barnacles: Brown has great respect for the captain, but never seems to refer to him by "Captain". He's not one to be professional, and just calls him "Barnacles" instead. He doesn't mind.
Kwazii: Brown enjoys his company a lot. He likes hearing about Kwazii's stories, even knowing they're probably over exaggerated, and sometimes plays along, asking questions.
Dashi: Brown enjoys looking through Dashi's photo albums, and borrows her camera occasionally to take a few pictures of his own.
Tweak: Brown's always curious about anything she builds, and will usually ask about it if he spots her building something.
Inkling: They don't interact much, but Brown frequently visits the library to look at books. (Even if he doesn't read through much of them)
Vegimals: Being friends with Shellington, Brown frequently interacts with the Vegimals. He loves their company, and couldn't imagine life on the Octopod without them. He's tried to gain a understanding of Vegimalese, but he still has a lot to learn.
(Will probably add more throughout each category as I come up with things, and change some stuff too. Might also add a brief story as well)
Feel free to ask any questions about him! (Whether it be in comments or asks)

Peso redesign bc I wasn’t too happy with my og one for him. Now I am very content with his design :3
He’s a king penguin! Though he’s rather small for his species and I wonder why he has that white patch on his face… king penguins don’t have those… 🤔 (I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of his adorable heart shaped patch that’s why.)
So alot has happened on my moving situation, my friend, or now girlfriend heh, has to move out before her mum notices she's on hrt, we've been doing research and decided to buy a flat of sorts somewhere in scottland wich is around 50k
And given that I earn 10k a year I'm obviously not cutting it in less than a year. So we're literally desperate to the point of asking people if it's ok for her to move in with them for a couple years. The reason why her and not the both of us is cus her situation is more dire.
In the mean time (And I really don't wanna do this T_T) I've added a goal on my kofi for anyone who's able to donate. (I really hate asking for money.)
So the current plan is to just find someone who's cool with her staying for a couple years.
But yea, kind a shitty situation we're in but we'll chug through it.

before pride month ends I need to call out this ABSURDLY HOMOSEXUAL FOX
Look at him.
His face SCREAMS gay at this point (potentially because I added a pride flag overlay)
If you took his brain and examined it (assuming he has one) I'm pretty sure at least half of it is dedicated to gay
He wants to be a penguin because they're so very queer 🥺
HIS FIRST WORD WAS GAY.
he has become too powerful and the only reason nobody can stop him is that nobody WILL because he's so darn cute
he's attracted to like every single man on the octopod and even off the octopod will someone please pick up their fox he is too aggressively homosexual
(no I'm not gonna pick him up because it's very beautiful I'll let his reign of gay terror continue)
he luvs his penguin and otter very very extremely much they need to hug for like 10 minutes already
does the otter even know how extremely gay brown is over him-
Personally i relate most with Tweak design wise lol lmk who yall like the best or relate to :3c
They all have different design elements that either share something about their past or connect them to another octonaut ^v^ whether its gifted items or just similar design patterns :3
Such as Barnacles, Kwazii, Peso, and Dashi having similar tops
Dashi has a somrwhat similar bag to Shellie
Kwazii and Barnacles have similar clasps for their clothes and the circle on Kwaziis belt matches Barnacles
Peso has a sort of similar shoulder pattern as Barnacles and belt buckle like Kwazii
Barnacles
Just more brick shaped 😭
He has a charm from Kwazii so that hed "always have wind in his sails while traveling the seven seas"
The blue scarf around the charm on his belt is actually one of his polar bear cub scout scarves :3
His pouch has fish biscuits, some medical supplies, and... some water proof paper and a pencil? I guess for writing his ideas down (mission ideas or poems you decide)
Lots of squares to show him as reliable, soft curled hair/fur for a softer look :3.
Theres buttons on the side of hiw octocompass so he doesnt struggle with the (normal sized but small for him) screen 😭
Walks very quietly???? Hes very large but so SO quiet... hes even spooked Tweak once!
He would look at his closet EVERY single morning and see some theatrical and fun colorful outfits and genuinely look between them before CHOOSING HIS SAME BLUE UNIFORM EVERY SINGLE TIME. Hes too autistic guys we cant stop him.
He has paw prints on the bottom of his boots
Kwazii
The main change with Kwaziis designs was to change his pants to match his cultural wear he'd prefer anyways (Split Tail Clan) :3
The cloth wrap on his arm is to hide his tattoo to appear friendlier and the cloth wrap on his waist is an old pirate way of storing things on ya without pockets and havin a lil more protection.
And ofc he has the same kind of apatite charms as Barnacles lol
Shark bite on heem tail <3
BELTS. pirate!
His curls are more defined and he has a few lynx touches with his fur lol
Added beads holding his hair back for a better sillhouette
He has the sash with the octonauts symbol on his chest because many pirates with leading roles would wear sashes with their crews golden crest as a clasp
Chip in his hat cuz ofc lol
Dashi:
long dog, daschund... so i decided to make her hair and fur longer too! The stripes on her wetsuit helps to accentuate it too lol
Shes got a cute bubbly aesthetic! So lets give her bubble beads for her hair :3 and she has different tie, ribbon,colored nails, and hair clip accessories <3 swaps out hairstyles too lol, even dying her hair with Tweak sometimes
Shes made alot of bracelets with her sister :3
gave her a lil camera bag!!!
Also she wears contacts but on the days she doesnt she has round pink glasses
her tail is longer woth a stronger sillhoutte now, all the better for clearler wagging!
More organic lines for her clothes to show her having a calmer and more controlled personality
But i wanted her fashionable whimsy to still be " uniform aesthetic" hence the different ties and bows she has eith her collar, she had been nervous about it when joining but Barnacles complimented her and it felt her feel alot more accepted and welcomed
Peso:
HE IS A STOCKY SLEEPER BUILD PENGUIN. EVERYONE SEES HIM AS A CUTE LITTLE GUY BUT BY PENGUIN STANDARDS HES MOVIE STAR HANDSOME. OKAY? OKAY!
he has two medical pouches on his belt and then his seperate medical kit lol. He likes to be prepared!
He gets scratched/ bit from the animals he helps so over the years he slowly gets different little scars on his flippers
Fish patterns! He loves cute stuff! Plushies, homemade stickers, and fish decor!
Changed his hair style for a more unique sillhouette :3 also the cheek color? Thats NAWT natural lmfao 😭
He has lil talon hands under his flipper feathers
Tweak:
She doesnt have the same pony tail anymore even tho she totally canonically had it for some time, but it was hard with her ears 😭
Dyed bright gren hair but it fades all the time lmfao
She wears a wetsuit under her mechanic suit (like the other nonmarine mammals do) to protect her fur some and keep warm in case she has to go out lol
I forgot to draw her tools but theyre there guys i promise 😭
Btw! Her Pa actually stitched this mechanic suit for her! Between the flower print and the cut and material it was mafe with alot of love. Much more sensory friendly and confortsble :3
STEEL TOED BOOTS
gorgeous.
Her earrings are like metal nuts (a cap and a jam) :3c
Shellington:
So! He has longer hsir and teo longer front pieces of hsir cuz i HAVE FREEEE WILLLL AND IT LOOKSS NICE! Also hair cuts are sensory bad for him
his clothes are looser to not just be comfier but also because hes just a lil guy
U dont see it with him at the moment but he is often seen with his cane on land. Has an easier time swimming but has a hard time standing or running
He has little patches on his clothes of chivi versions of the vegimals!!! Peso adesigned them and he and they vegimals made it for Shellington! He has it on ALL his pants
he forgets pencils in his hair sometimes and will do half up half down styles depending on his mood
he has an ugly sweater collection
The bits of brown fur on the sides of his face is their fur equivalent of sideburns btw lmfao
@mickrabbit i was able to write this all in major part cuz of u 😭
hey don't worry! I'll get around to posting more about brown and Octonauts veryyyy soon! INFACT! tomorrow, TOMORROWWWWWW I'll post about brown oki?
...I was gonna make a joke about how I wasn't actually but I didn't want to feel bad so you're getting it today SURPRISE!!!!
uuhhh
he stims with his paws and tail
OH and he's also like strangely super good at feather care despite not having any? Like it probably isn't super useful outside of when Peso isn't able to do it himself for whatever reason but he's VERY GOOD AT IT
he's like equally good at both fur and feather care and it concerns me just a lil that he's that close to his feather care skills beating out his fur care skills (just kidding it's endearing as always 🤎)
i lowkey almost forgot I had a tag list for brownie stuff
In order for the Vegimals to go to bed, Shelly MUST read a story (or 5..) to them. But Shellington doesn’t mind, they usually stay up too late doing research anyways.

Something I noticed about every single new anthropomorphic character introduced during Octonauts' original run is that I think they were setting up for Above & Beyond? Most of the Octo Agents were introduced in the latter half of the original series' runtime.
Exceptions: Pinto was introduced in season 1, Calico Jack in season 2
Season 3: Pearl (and periwinkle)
Season 4: Koshi, Natquik, Tracker, Marsh,
Misc.: Min (unaired Season 5), and Ryla (Caves of Sac Actun) Bud (also unaired season 5, but he doesn't show up until A&B S3)
I dunno do you think I struck gold with this theory or do I have literally no idea what I'm talking about
Not to mention Barnacles being ready to recite his "Octonauts, to the HQ!" or insert other location there until he was like "wait who sounded that actually"
Like he has a ROUTINE set in place and was ready to go with it until he realized 🥺
For pride month I'm posting every single queer Octonauts character
(I don't feel like editing out the kids bc that would take effort so you can just ignore them if you think that's weird, this post isn't serious anyway)
Unfortunately Tumblr has a image limit so I can't post EVERY single queer character but here's the recurring ones at least ^w^

completely unrelated i forgot to take a picture but look at my lil puffle 🥺 his name is daniel and hes so beloved i can't wait to give him so many o'berries once i stop herbert
Shellington is constantly thinking about their many, many, MANY fish facts and is at risk of infodumping at any given moment
And there’s ALWAYS a Vegimal or two following them. At the moment Tunip and Tominnow are accompanying their mother :3
Tominnow is a very very little lady. She is very much pocket sized. Tunip on the other paw is the second largest Vegimals and the one that’s by Shelly’s side the most >w<
oough still trying to remember who wants to be tagged I know who wants barnzii but like who wants to be tagged on just these types of posts?? sorry I’m a lil forgetful sometimes ;^;
