* {{Expy}}: Appearance-wise, he's pretty much fighting game evangelist Seth Killian, complete with crossed hands (in reference to Killian's playing style). Gameplay-wise, he takes his divekick and teleport straight from ''StreetFighterIV'''s Seth, who is named after Killian.

* HyperspaceArsenal: Mark's main tactic when not kicking is to dig around the ground in front of him. If he finds a part of his KickBox, he'll keep it but otherwise, he'll throw it out, which adds a random effect to the stage.
* SuperMode: When Markman gets all three parts of the KickBox, he goes into Precision Control mode, allowing him to ''upkick''.

->The Baz has been rejected from almost every fighting leauge on the planet, usually because he looks too lame or his fighting style doesn’t fit in. He joins the Divekicking league as a last resort, due to their incredibly low standards. The Baz hasn’t won any money Divekicking just yet, so he is forced to take on odd jobs for Mob Boss Don Luo to pay his bills. He is currently tracking down Mr. N for a debt owed to the Don.



->Markman is an inventor, and a huge fan of professional divekicking. While watching his favorite fighters throw down over the years, he has perfected a device that gives its holder more precise control over their kicks. And thus, the Kickbox was born. Markman is on a marketing quest, and wants to win this year’s competition using his Kickbox to show the world that they should buy his product.



->Stream lives his life trapped behind the keyboard, gazing into the warm glow of a monitor that pumps free content into his eyes 24/7. Instead of appreciation, he feeds only negativity back in. His conciousness is an endless flood of sexism, racism, and hate. Stream is only satisfied when he can make someone uncomfortable or upset, and so he sets out into the real world to finally troll in person.



[[folder:S-Kill]]

[[folder:S-Kill]][[folder:Codename: S-Kill]]
->S-Kill is the leader of an evil organization hell bent on re-balancing the entire world so that it can be repackaged and sold once again. When S-Kill’s subordinates fail to rebalance professional divekicking, S-Kill sets out to do the job himself.

[[folder:Dive]]
->Dive was raised in West Philadelphia with his fraternal twin brother, Kick. When trouble brewed at their local park, the boys’ mother sent them to live with their Uncle Sensei in Bel Air to learn how to Divekick. Dive strives to perfect the art of diving into the air, using his love of math to ensure that he is always at an angle that will lead him to victory. His massive study sessions and dedication to his schoolwork have left him with less time to focus on his kicking, however.

* {{Expy}}: Of Yang from ''StreetFighter''.
* JackOfAllStats: As one of the two main characters.
* RyuAndKen: The Ryu to Kick's Ken.

[[folder:Kick]]
->Kick was raised in West Philadelphia with his fraternal twin brother, Dive. When trouble brewed at their local park, the boys’ mother sent them to live with their Uncle Sensei in Bel Air to learn how to Divekick. Kick strives to perfect the art of kicking, and is sure that success on the Divekick circuit will help him launch a music career. His focus on chasing the local honies has lead him to neglect his dive training, however.

* CasanovaWannabe:
* {{Expy}}: He's ''StreetFighter'''s Yun, with a ton of WillSmith references thrown in.
* RyuAndKen: The Ken to Dive's Ryu.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Mr. N]]
->Uncle Sensei may have sent Mr. N to the losers bracket, but his career ended later that day after Mr. N paid a massive sum to have the brackets rigged in his favor. Officials noticed the foul play too late, and the tournament was in such disarray that the entire event was cancelled and everyone was disqualified. Unable to afford fees for the following year, Sensei was forced into retirement. Mr. N can usually be found riding to coattails of his best friend, upcoming Divekick superstar Dustin Weinburger, and is usually behind any sort of foul play that may occur at a tournament. Mr. N owes the mob a lot of money, and is constantly on the run.

* DeconstructiveParody: The character is pretty much character assassination of Marn as done by Keits.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Redacted]]
->A pregnant Skunk Bear was forced to flee her Canadian homeland due to hunting activities. While traveling south, tired, hungry and alone, she drank some toxic waste that mutated her into a much larger, smarter form. She caught the scent of a very rare type of cigar and followed it to the hills of Bel Air, where she settled and now lives with her three Kits.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/XMen Wolverine]]. In early builds, the character was even called Wolverine, but for obvious reasons, the name was changed.
* PokemonSpeak: The only words she speaks is "UNACCEPTABLE!"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Kung Pao]]
->The art of the Divekick is well known in a parallel dimension, called Downworld. Kung Pao is champion of this realm. Her strength, loyalty, dedication, and leadership may be unmatched, but her world has been overthrown by her evil step-father, Theodore Khan, and his army of color coded ninja thugs. She fought alongside a small but passionate group of rebels until she accidentally kicked a hole in the fabric of the universe and fell through it. She landed in this dimension and has thus far been unable to find a way home to save her friends, and her world.

* AffectionateParody: Of Mortal Kombat. Design similar to Kung Lao, kicks like Liu Kang, and her story is lifted straight from Kitana.
* {{Expy}}: She's a gender-swapped Kung Lao in design.
* ShoutOut: Her alternate palette makes her look like [[StreetFighter Chun-Li]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Uncle Sensei]]
->Uncle Sensei and his sister became obsessed with tournament Divekicking at a very young age, even before the sport had any popularity. After returning from the Invasion of Grenada, Sensei had finished his tour of duty and saved enough money to finally follow his dream. He purchased some land on which to build his Dojo and entered his first Divekicking competition. Shortly after, his 10 year winstreak helped to explode the sport’s popularity, but his inability to manage his finances left him broke and in early retirement after a mysterious disqualification. He now spends his days trying to earn what he can training Divekicking students at his Dojo, and doing his best to take care of his beloved nephews, Dive and Kick.

* {{Expy}}: Of ''StreetFighter'''s Gouken, befitting the role he plays to Dive and Kick.
* OldMaster: Parodied, very hard.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Dr. Victoria Shoals]]
->Shoals is the youngest and brightest Podiatrist in her field. She works mostly in the sports medicine field, and spends time researching Ped Urino, a very rare infection seen only in the feet of professional Divekickers. Shoals wakes up one morning to find that she has somehow contracted Ped Urino, commonly called Foot Dive, on her face! She dons a mask and builds powerful iron boots to allow her to compete in Divekicking competitions, in an effort to get closer to the people she’d need to study to find the cure.

* {{Expy}}: A female Doctor Doom, taking his design and his Foot Dive move from the last two ''MarvelVsCapcom'' games.
* MadScientist: She infected herself with the disease she was studying, to find a cure for it!
* PunnyName: Her shortened name is a pun on [[http://www.drscholls.com/ Dr. Scholl's]], a brand of foot care products.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Alex Jefailey]]
->Jefailey runs a large and well known series of Divekick tournaments called JEO (Jefailey Effort Orlando). Despite controversy, Jefailey likes to enter and compete at his own events. He views himself as his greatest promotional asset, and his growing ego has recently caused former allies to turn against him. He means well, however, and will continue to compete in order to get more people to buy badges for the next JEO event.

* AffectionateParody: Of Alex Jebailey, and unlike Mr. N to Marn
* BigHeadMode: His gimmick. Every time he wins a round, his head gets bigger, altering his jump physics and giving the opponent a bigger target to concuss him with.
* {{Expy}}: Of Alex Jebailey, organizer of the fighting game tournament Community Effort Orlando.
