Mike Thurson
"After kidnapping me and pointing a gun to my head you're afraid that cursing will traumatize me?"
The main character of our story. It is his kidnapping that set in motion the story.
- The Watson: His character file specifically says that his purpose in the story is to ask all the questions that audience would ask.
- Wise Beyond Their Years: The kid's 12 and he knows about Newton's apocalyptic scenarios and is able to recognize Mandarin Chinese when spoken.
Sam Rackham
Captain of the space pirate crew that kidnaps Mike and brings him to the 2500's.- The Captain: He owns the Cool Air Ship 'The Iron Lump'.
- Eye Patch Of Power: Apparently he popped his eye out of pure shame.
Jin Fu
The first mate on The Iron Lump and his right-hand man.
- A Dog Named "Dog": His pet monkey, simply named "Monkey".
- Hair-Trigger Temper: He does seem usually more pissed than his crewmates. Maybe it's the monkey...
- Token Minority: An asian addition to otherwise caucasian crew.
Hooks
The technical support person on The Iron Lump, as well as the cook. Doesn't talk much.
- Hook Hand: As a part of a family in-joke, every member of The Hooks family must take a Hook to replace missing body parts. Including noses.
- Last-Name Basis: Supplemental material on deviantArt states that his first name is Roland.
- Meaningful Name: See Hook Hand above.
- Mr. Exposition: The few times he opens his mouth he uses to illuminate the wonders of 26th Century to Mike. Sam lampshades this at one point.
Max
The drowsy mechanic on The Iron Lump.
- Heavy Sleeper: He has tried to get medication for that, but reading all those informative labels is so tiring...
- Punny Name: The deviantArt supplemental material states that his full name is Max(well) Turbo. Ironic giving his drowsiness.
Axel
Sam's evil big brother and the President of Sigtron Corporation.
- Black Cloak: Not that it helps to conceal your identity if you forget to take off the name tag...
- Mood-Swinger: He goes from polite gentleman to violent raging lunatic and back in matter of seconds.
