Homestar Runner – The title character and the good natured high school jock. He’s dopey and lovable, even if he does have a speech impediment.
Strong Bad – A sort-of nemesis to Homestar, he is among the site’s most popular characters. He enjoys answering viewer e-mails and speaks in sort of a distorted Cuban accent. Strong Sad and Strong Mad are his brothers.
The Cheat – This adorable little creature is the sidekick to Strong Bad. Speaking his own language (a series of beeps and squeaks), he is also a flash animator. He loves sleeping in the refrigerator crisper drawer when allowed.
Marzipan – The lone woman in Free Country and Homestar’s girlfriend. She loves animals, tofu and playing her guitar. She is the tree hugger of the bunch.
Pom-Pom – Homestar’s roundabout best friend. He is quite the ladies’ man, despite not saying much. He’s from Pom.
Strong Sad – The depressing, sensitive fat kid of the group. Although highly intelligent and talented, he is the butt of many jokes from the group, who all think he is boring and mopey.
Strong Mad – Best friend of the Cheat; he is giant in size, but miniscule in intelligence. If you get in his way he might punch you or at least drool on you.
Bubs – The Satchimo dialected concession stand owner of Free Country.
Coach Z – A sports and hip-hop music expert impresario (or so he thinks), the coach is friend to everyone – even if he cannot say “Good Job,” which he pronounces “Good Jaerb” or worse.
King of Town – The supreme ruler supposedly, but mostly he just eats. And he’ll eat anything. One time he accidently ate his entire flock of sheep. Another time he ate candy corn – shaped Halloween lights. A stick of butter is nothing for him.
The Poopsmith – An employee of the King, he quietly shovels poop all day long for no apparent reason.
