"Everybody loves The Homestar Runner. He is a terrific athlete."

Homestar is the star athlete on an unspecified sports team led by Coach Z. He has a girlfriend named Marzipan, but his best friend remains Pom-Pom. He has some speech impediments; as he says, he has "twouble with his aw's." He also likes to borrow things from (and return things to) Strong Bad, particularly without the latter's knowledge.

Homestar's best pal is Pom-Pom, who looks much like a big orange-and-yellow Mandelbrot set. Pom-Pom is possibly the smartest character of the bunch, with the possible exception of Strong Sad, but only his friends can understand Pom-Pom's bubbly voice. He likes to hang out with Homestar Runner and Strong Bad, although not necessarily both at the same time.

Strong Bad is a Mexican wrestler, with mask and boxing gloves. He represents the criminal element in Homestar's neighbourhood and often goes out of his way to pull off "grand" schemes, like stealing Homestar's "Jumble" puzzles or tricking him into buying everyone free drinks. He answers his email every monday.

The Cheat is Strong Bad's partner in crime. He's a small, furry, yellow creature who, true to his name, is always looking for a way to cheat, or to help someone else on a scheme. His appearance has been described as a cross between a Pikachu, a wedge of cheese, and an anvil. He is debatedly the least-humanoid main character. The Cheat speaks entirely in a language of high-pitched squeaks and growls, which Strong Bad can understand.

Strong Sad is the Eeyore of the group. Not to be confused with his two brothers, Strong Bad and Strong Mad, Strong Sad is a large white-and-grey lump with elephant feet. He listens to gothic and Emo music and speaks in a thoroughly gloomy tone. He is represented as both intellectual and creative (his drawing of a dragon in a Strong Bad e-mail is very artistic, and his handwriting is exemplary), but his genius is usually overwhelmed by his depression. He even dresses up as Mikhail Gorbachev for Halloween.

Strong Mad, a character in the Homestar Runner series, has the size, strength, and oratory skills of an ogre. (In fact, he bears a striking resemblance to the Mad Ogre enemies that can be found in the Tower of Bab-il in Final Fantasy) He is The Cheat's best friend and has very fond feelings for him, and very few feelings (besides anger) for anyone and anything else.

Coach Z is the coach of Free Country's unspecified sports team, but most of his coaching consists of blowing his whistle when training is over. It's questionable whether he is wearing a green body suit or simply has green skin. He also has serious money troubles, so he doesn't have a home and sleeps in the dressing room and has had his electricity cut off for a year. He talks with a strong Upper Midwestern accent which sometimes gets him into trouble, especially when he tries to pronounce difficult words like "Job".

Running his own concession stand, Bubs is a sharp salesman who will sell almost anything. It's likely that not all of his dealings are exactly legal, considering some of his selling items are marked 'EXHIBIT A' & 'EXHIBIT B'. He also dances and attends night courses at Disco Tech. In his spare time he has boring conversations with Coach Z and reads back issues of Motor Trend magazine.

Marzipan is Homestar Runner's girlfriend, although during the course of time she's become more and more annoyed with her sweetheart. Regardless, she continues to love Homestar dearly, though she will occasionally break up with him for a day or two just to demonstrate her independence. As Strong Bad says, she's a "dirty hippie without the dirt." She is a strict vegetarian and enjoys tofu and soy products. She's a huge animal-rights activist, and she likes to sit outside and play songs about happiness.

The King of Town is the de jure ruler of Free Country, USA. However, nobody wishes to acknowledge this and he is not considered cool by anyone. One of his main problems is that he is a glutton and will eat anything in front of him.

The Poopsmith is just a regular guy with a very crappy job. Literally. It is unclear what his job really is, but it has something to do with using his shovel to poke around at a load of whatsit.

Homsar is a weird guy, noone knows really knows where he came from and what he's doing. And nobody has any idea what he's saying most of the time, since he uses random words in a slurry voice whenever he speaks.<br /><br />True to Homsar's nature, he broke his leg on the first time he tried to dodge away from an opponent. But, as they say, whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and Homsar did get stronger.
