* '''Brynn''', a lackey for Heavy Fire (although later it was revealed Heavy Fire ''himself'' was [[TheManBehindTheMan merely a lackey]]) whose incompetence is a running joke throughout the series. His fondness for horses and bazinga are the butt of the joke many times throughout the second game

...fast forward to late 2014. Vitiman announces that he's working on a seventh entry in the series, this time with an entirely new cast of characters (save for series mainstay Dudim). The entire internet rejoiced, and by the entire internet, we mean the Charisma Bros. Official Fan Club of Fried Chicken.

The new gang consists of:

* '''Padded Rick''', the group's [[TheStoner stoner]] and resident snarker (more so than Dudim, even!) and has a tendency to be in his own little world. Whether this is a product of all the pot he's totally smoking isn't made clear.
* '''Philips''', the "boring geek" archetype who is quite literally the Philips logo and nothing more. Always seems to find himself in the worst possible situations imaginable for someone who just wants to use the computer and nothing more.
* '''Someguy''', creator of his own incredibly bizarre series of joke games and other weird wobbly bobbly things. Seen as something of a kindred spirit to Dudim (or at least, Dudim's owner Ike), Someguy saves Dudim's dolphin ass from being fried into a Japanese delicacy during the first battle with ancient golem john. Unfortunately, he couldn't save Dudim from [[spoiler:being mind controlled by him]], but what can you do?

Currently, 5 By the tail end of September 2013, Vitiman had grown fed up with the MFGG community. He had previously bottled up his frustrations regarding them for the most part, but couldn't any longer and lashed out on a member for a spam post (the member in question was a repeat offender and had made several spam posts in the past with little to no repercussion). As a result, his Wiki Sysop position was revoked, leaving him with no reasons to continue being a part of the community. Noticing his actual powers as Sysop remained, he committed account suicide by power abuse soon afterwards to make his leave permanent (in hindsight, Vitiman regretted simply asking to be permanently banned but at the time he was merely afraid his request would be denied). Even prior to this, Vitiman and the rest of the Charisma gang had grown apart a final time over a credit dispute (that is, concerning who made what ideas and Vitiman's insistence that it didn't matter). When all is said and done, the obscure (yet amusingly quirky) Charisma joke games had a good run and managed to end with ''six'' games in the can; to be fair, they're joke games that don't require as much effort to make as regular fangames, but it's still mighty impressive considering the level of polish the last 3 games had.
