My Kwazii Headcanons
-26 (that one's canon)
-English, specifically from London (His dad and granddad's side) and Japanese-Malaysian (his mom's side).
-transmasc
-Also gay (NOT FOR BARNACLES)
-Kwazii's father, Calico Jack's son, is named Whiskers Jack. So, following Malaysian tradition (middle name is father's given name), That makes Kwazii's full name Kwazii Whiskers Jack. He got the name Kwazii from his mom, who named him from the word Kawaii, which of course means cute. Can you tell he's a beloved only child yet?
-We know why he wears the eyepatch, but I headcanon that the eyepatch was a 5th birthday gift from Calico Jack before he left for the Amazon.
-He's 5 '7", and very ashamed of that fact, because his dad is 5 '11" and his Granddad is 6 '1".
-Kwazii is the best driver on the Octopod, but that was the only reason he was named Co-captain. in reality, Tweak would take over Barnacles' duties, because she is far more responsible, and Barnacles trusts her more. If Barnacles were to ever be incapacitated, Kwazii would only be responsible for the driving part.
-Kwazii met Barnacles when he was 16, after helping Barnacles stop a group of poachers without question. They've known each other for a decade, one of the longest relationships on the ship, but Kwazii still manages to be the third youngest Octonaut.
-Barnacles is like a "grown-older-brother-middle school-younger-brother" type relationship with Kwazii.
-Kwazii wears a hand-made Samping with his uniform. His mom gifted him the Samping when he joined the Octonauts as an 'i'm proud of you' gift. He will turn the gup around if he forgets to put it on, because he has a weirdly accurate superstition that he'll get hurt without it on.
-Kwazii has ADHD, and as such Kwazii is banned from coffee. Barnacles and Inkling are always the first there, and Kwazii hasn't gotten past them for the past decade on the Octopod.
-Kwazii has a major sweet tooth. He eats way more sugar than he should, but he has a fast metabolism, so it just makes him faster when he needs to run. He also has cavities, and doesn't listen to Peso's many warnings to stop eating so much sugar. He just cant resist.
-Kwazii has abandonment issues (thanks alot Calico Jack), and because of them he makes stupid decisions and goes first in everything, just so if he's alone, he knows it was his fault. It doesn't make the guilt feel much better when he's alone, but it helps lessen the feeling of abandonment. He's also just not good at listening, or sitting still.
-He doesn't like fish biscuits alone-it's just not stimulating enough. He usually eats them with tuna, but he'll eat it with avocado if Dashi's around.
-The chip taken out of his ear came from the poachers attack 10 years ago. it's just a small chip now, and the scar tissue is almost entirely gone.
-Kwazii has the best vision on the ship, and is also the fastest in running speed. When Barnacles, Tweak, and Kwazii team up, they're practically unstoppable.
-Kwazii is like an older brother figure to Peso, and takes great pride in that role. They spend their free time together playing Jenga, and somehow Peso always wins. And Kwazii will always claim he bumped the table.
-Kwazii regularly sharpens his claws, and sometimes Dashi and Tominnow will kidnap him and make him paint his claws. On one occasion, Koshi joined in, and he was forced to go in a full face of makeup for the entire next mission because Koshi did it, because Dashi would crucify him if he wiped it off with Koshi there. He will end you if you pull up the photos.
-On that note, Dashi and Kwazii have an older-sister-younger-brother dynamic. Kwazii always has her backup pair of glasses in the Gup-B just in case she loses her contacts.
-He ABSOLUTELY sleepwalks and sleep talks. He's said and done some wild shit while asleep.
-Tweak now makes him wear a wristband with an alarm when he sleeps so someone can find him if he leaves the Octopod in his sleep. Weirdly, he's most commonly caught by Inkling or the Vegimals, specifically Grouber, while he's getting a midnight snack.
-He and Tweak are best friends. They cause HAVOC when left alone.
-Kwazii is dyslexic. He was..quite the trouble-maker when he was in school (pray for his teachers chat)
-He often steals from his fellow crew mates simply because he just...forgets he can ask and get a yes most of the time. Peso has to routinely remind him he's allowed to ask for stuff.
-Kwazii and Paani are chaotic, unstoppable lovers.
-Kwazii is absolutely BANNED from the kitchen.
-Kwazii's favorite stim is pressing buttons, which makes him more eager to sound the octo-alert and LITERALLY GOD at rhythm games, specifically Geometry Dash and Rhythm Heaven.
-he has plenty of scars, but they're mainly from stupid stuff like running into a glass coffee table to see if it would break
