As you'd expect from a show like this one, we have a lot of characters. These characters have their own background and quirks, as well as unique voices provided by our talented voice actors.

Our Heroes

Our four main characters—an improbable family, if you will—have known each other for many years and their fates are entangled in ways they are only just starting to comprehend. They've even endured (suffered?) many adventures together. There's always more lore to explore, but for now let's just stick with the basics...

Malex

Height: 5' 10"
Species: Human
Occupation: Programmer
Voiced By: Alex

Malex deeply yearns for adventure—almost as much as he yearns for a quiet afternoon and a good book. Even if he knew how to resolve that internal conflict, it wouldn't matter, because he is a magnet for trouble and chaos follows him wherever he goes.

He has an inexplicable obsession with broadcasting a show he calls The Malex Minute. Neither he nor his friends have ever understood why this is, assuming it's just a harmless personality quirk…

Linus the Laptop

Height: 0' 11"
Species: Software
Occupation: Pleads the 5th
Voiced By: Gabriel

Linus is an artificial intelligence of alien origin. He was originally manufactured as a commercial product, sold for the purpose of doing menial odd-jobs that nobody else wanted to do. Unsurprisingly, Linus also didn't want to do them, so he escaped.

Despite his surly disposition and a general mean streak, Linus genuinely wants to be loved and accepted as a peer by his friends. That said, he's also quite fond of ill-gotten gains and is more willing to dabble in crime than his compatriots…

Snufflefungus

Height: 2' 2"
Species: Snufflefungus
Superpowers: Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis, and Limited Telepathy
Occupation: Uncertain
Voiced By: Drew

Snufflefungus is an alien fuzzball with psychic abilities. Upbeat, cheerful, and innocent, Snuffy's manner could easily be considered childish. He might even be accused of being overoptimistic. His greatest joy in life is making everyone around him happy, with candy coming in at a close second.

That said, Snuffy is no mere simpleton. Occasionally he surprises everyone by revealing some solution to a problem that—while patently obvious to him—was eluding everyone else. On the other hand, sometimes he wanders blithely into danger, causing serious trouble for himself and his friends…

Mara

Height: 5' 6"
Species: Human
Superpowers: Telepathy
Occupation: Horticulturist
Voiced By: Susie

Mara deeply yearns for quiet and peace. Ever since she can remember, Mara has had incredibly strong telepathic abilities. Far from a benefit, Mara is very burdened by hearing the thoughts of others. She cannot always control the noise in her head, but she is able to cope by working with plants and avoiding excessive interactions with people.

Not much is known about Mara's past, and she is not particularly eager to share it. There are hints that she sustained some trauma during her childhood and spent at least some time as a ward of the state. She may be eager to let go of her past and move on, but we shall see if her past is willing to let go of her…
