Sluggy Freelance/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

== Core Cast ==

===Torg===

A [[Cloudcuckoolander]] who is an [[Idiot Hero|eager and well-meaning idiot most of the time, but has flashes of heroics]]. He's [[The Hero]], at least a foolish version of one... until several years into the series, when he starts to [[Took a Level in Badass|Take A Level in Badass]] every few story arcs and thoroughly claims the title. He's still a goofy badass, though.

===Riff===

A [[Mad Scientist]] who has been best friends with Torg since their middle school days, and has problems with women. He's [[The Smart Guy]], with occasional forays into [[The Big Guy]].

===Zoë===

The female [[Unlucky Everydude]] that ends up constantly involved in everyone else's screwiness. While more capable than most, she's clearly [[The Chick]] most of the time.

===Gwynn===

* [[Dark Magical Girl]] - Flirts with this trope but never fully commits.

* [[Demonic Possession]]

* [[The Smart Guy]]

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: "Gwen", goodness knows why.

* [[Tsundere]] - Type A.

===Bun-bun===

A miniature talking and very evil lop-eared bunny which might be the most dangerous force in the universe. Very violent and short-tempered, though perfectly controlled if he needs to be. Quite possibly the smallest [[The Big Guy|Big Guy]] ever to reach his level of badassitude.

===Kiki===

Riff's pet talking ferret, who has a habit of being [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|easily distracted]] and naively willing to touch anything shiny. Kind-hearted, but [[The Ditz|very foolish]], and quite clearly the [[Team Pet]].

===Aylee===

Fish out of water [[Shapeshifting]] alien, that came from an early parody of ''[[Alien (franchise)|Alien]]'' and ''[[Star Trek]]'' and stuck around. Reserve [[The Big Guy|Big Guy]], [[The Lancer|Lancer]], [[Team Pet]] varying depending on her form(occasionally changes forms [[Involuntary Shapeshifting|involuntarily]] to adapt to her environment) and the other characters present. Is personality wise a kind of [[Genius Ditz]] due to balance between her naivety and her predatory cunning.

== Others ==

===Sam===

Formerly the cast's neighbor at the apartment complex, now a vampire [[Walking the Earth]]. He is the former owner of Kiki and still feels very protective of her. Has a crush on Zoë. Must steer clear of Riff, who tries to stake him whenever he spots him.

===Oasis===

A young woman mind controlled by a [[Mad Scientist]] named Dr. Steve Hereti. Has a tendency to come back from the dead and is very much in love with Torg.

* [[Murder the Hypotenuse]] - Oasis has this as her default mode of dealing with any and all challengers for Torg's affection. She once tried this with Gwynn under the mistaken impression that Gwynn was Zoë. In the bROKEN arc, sees her finally identifying Zoë correctly... and believing Torg was "mistaken" when he said he didn't love Zoë.

* [[Naked First Impression]] - Named one of the books: ''Game Called On Account of Naked Chick''.

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: She's really messed up in a lot of ways, and these include a lack of maturity and a fondness of violence, the later even after she decides to be a "hero".

* [[Tyke Bomb]]

* [[Yandere]] - So very, very, very much.

One of Riff's girlfriends who eagerly dove into the madness that was the cast's lives. Although her first stay on the strip was relatively brief (less than two years), she is very much a [[Ensemble Darkhorse|fan favorite]].

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]

* [[Phrase Catcher]] - "Weird girl, Sasha."

* [[Put on a Bus]] - She was introduced around Halloween of 2000 and moved away back in [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20020822 2002], never to be heard from again.

===Dr. Schlock===

* [[Dirty Coward]]

===Mosp===

A member of the Dimension of Pain's [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] who eventually befriends and helps Torg.

===Crushestro===

The head of one of the villainous organizations bidding on Dr. Shankraft's displacement drive and one of the few who came in person rather than sending a representative.

===K'Z'K the Vowelless===

The first true [[Big Bad]] of the series, K'Z'K (often called Kiske, much to his chagrin) is an extremely powerful demon Torg and Riff accidentally unleashed while playing with the Book of Evil. Although defeated by Torg and Zoë, he did not die, but instead his lingering will latched onto a depressed Gwynn and attempted to corrupt her into his new host before once again being vanished. Although his status as [[Big Bad]] has long since been passed over to HeretiCorp, he is still a constant presence in the comic, as his demonic servants have now formed a cult to free him from his banishment...

== Oceans Unmoving Characters ==

===Calix===

* [[An Axe to Grind]] - Calix is extremely skilled with his twin axes. So much so that Bun-Bun deduces his people are not farmers, but warriors who happen to farm.

===Kada Jansen===

Bun-Bun's first mate for the tail end of "Oceans Unmoving" and the entirety of "Oceans Unmoving II", up until Bun-Bun escapes and she captains her own ship. Came from a different time period; was pulled into Timeless Space when Carib-Carriage One attempted to take off.

===[[The Grays]]===

[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]], played for laughs.

* [[Trapped in Another World]] - Everyone but Calix, and arguably him as well since he'd never been outside his village before.
