23
24	* AudienceSurrogate: As the character whose POV is the dominant one.
25	* BrainyBrunette: Can more or less keep up with Maestro's brainstorming, and some episodes show him as a skilled inventor or mechanic on his own right.
26	* BrokenTears: [[spoiler: He weeps after Jumbo is killed in the Crusades episode.]]
27	* DemotedToExtra: An exaggerated version of this trope, he is the main character in the first series, then a member of the supporting cast in the second one, he barely appears in the third one, and onwards the hero almost systematically has the traits of his son and not his.
28	* DubNameChange: For some reason, he is called "Bert" in Episodes 10, 11, and 13 of the English dub. He's also called "Adam" in the German dub.
29	* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: His original character design is only kept in Once Upon a Time... Man, onwards he keeps his Once Upon a Time Space design with some tweaks from time to time.
30	* TheEveryman: He is the average man. He is called the “standard” by the narrator in the Cro-Magnon episode.

34	* OfficialCouple: Pretty much all of his incarnations are HappilyMarried to Pierrette.

42	-->'''Voiced by''': Annie Balestra (original French), Marianne Lutz (German), Alida Cappellini (Italian), Gloria Rocha (Latin-American Spanish), Ana María Saizar (European Spanish)
43
44	* ADayInTheLimelight: In the French Revolution episode, she gets to lead the town's women into The Bastille. In the Belle Epoque one, she is shown as a promising seamstress and designer. She takes the lead during the Russian revolution as well, pretty much doing the same as her French revolution incarnation. She is also in charge of the Confederation of Omega in the "Space" series.
45	* DubNameChange: She is named “Flor” in the Spanish dub and "Eva" in the German dub.
46	* GirlNextDoor: Her incarnations tend to fit in here.

48	* PluckyGirl: She's not without her backbone, specially in the French Revolution and more modern times.
49	* WomenAreWiser: A rather practical lady, also tends to poke Pierre when he's NotSoAboveItAll.

66	-->'''Voiced by''': Annie Balestra (original French), Antonella Baldini (Italian), Alma Nuri (Latin-American Spanish)
67
68	* AscendedExtra: Since ''Once Upon a Time... Life'', she seems to appear more frequently.
69	* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Like her father, her original character design was only kept in the first series.
70	* OutOfFocus: She barely gets any screentime until ''Life''. She would randomly disappear from the household in several episodes of the first series as if she never even existed.
71	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Since Pierrot resembles their dad, she's pretty much a younger Pierrette.
72	* TenderTears: In the Cro-Magnon episode, she cries over finding a cow feeling sad and lonely.
73	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's the {{Tomboy}}: occasionally mischievous, obtuse and flapper-like; to Psi's GirlyGirl: who is more calm and intellectual
74
75	!!Le Gros
76	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jacques_lefevre.png]]
77	-->'''Voiced by''': Yves Barsacq (original French), Michael Chevalier (German), Gabriele Carrara (Italian), Álvaro Tarcicio (Latin-American Spanish), Joaquín Vidriales (European Spanish)
78
79	* {{Acrofatic}}: He is shown to be surprisingly fast in the Cathedral Builders episode.
80	* TheBigGuy: His nickname literally means "The Big One".
81	* BoisterousBruiser: He's big, he's a FieryRedhead, he's strong, ''and he loves being like that''.
82	* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Sometimes, he accidentally slams Pierre to the ground, to Pierre's annoyance.
83	* DubNameChange: For some reason, he is called "Lurch" in Episodes 10, 11, and 13 of the English dub. This is especially odd since, in all other episodes, he is called "Jumbo."
84	* DumbMuscle: Tends to be a little slow on the uptake, contrasting with [[BrainyBrunette Pierre]].
85	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Every incarnation of his is good friends with Pierre's.
86	* KindheartedSimpleton: While he's still a DumbMuscle, he's portrayed in a much more positive light than other characters who are deemed unintelligent.
87	* ManlyTears: At the end of Episode 18 when [[spoiler: Maestro dies of old age, he and Pierre gaze at him with tears running down their faces]].
88	* NoSell: Almost nothing that hits him ever hurts him. [[TheWorfEffect When it doesn't work]], it's quite the MoodWhiplash.
89	* SatelliteCharacter: His role is mostly just to be Pierre's best friend and muscle, even though his POV is eventually explored.
90
91	!!Petit Gros
92	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robert_lefevre.png]]
93	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/57568fa7_8277_4763_a1a6_2c111aa95ea4.png]]
94	[[caption-width-right:350:Design changes from Life]]
95	-->'''Voiced by''': ?? (original French), Eduardo Tejedo (Latin-American Spanish)
96
97	* AscendedExtra: He was a minor character in the first series but since Pierrot took the lead instead of his dad, he became a supporting character. Even if most of the time you can't really tell if the hero's best friend is suppose to resemble his father or him.
98	* ChildhoodFriends: He and Pierrot tend to be shown as this.
99	* OxymoronicBeing: He's "the little Big One".
100	* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[RuleOfThree He resembles HIS dad as well.]]
101
102	!!Mercedes / Psi
103	-->'''Voiced by''': Annie Balestra (original French)

106	[[caption-width-right:350:Young Psi featured in Life]]
107	* AmbiguouslyBrown: With her dark skin and Hispanic true name, it's not clear what is her ethnical bakground in the series. The official website, however, claims she's from Brazil.
108	* BreakoutCharacter: Being an original character to ''Space'', she didn't appear on the first series, where everybody else in the cast debuted. However, she was added to the ensemble in ''Life'' and has remained a part of the franchise since, even being ascended to Pierrot's official LoveInterest.
109	* DubNameChange: For some reason, she is called "Claire" in the UK dub of ''Life'' and "Kira" in the Spanish dub of ''Space''.
110	* ImpliedLoveInterest: ''Space'' contains a fair bit of ShipTease between her and Pierrot, but he states several times they are JustFriends. Other series qualify as well, as she is still his default love interest even if nothing comes from it.
111	* InSeriesNickname: "Psi", the name by which she's always called is actually a nickname given to her by her friends because of her psychic abilities in ''Space''. Psionics abilities are called “dons psis” in French. Her real name is Mercedes.
112	* NonStandardCharacterDesign: She usually has a more {{Animesque}} design than the other characters, including bigger, more detailed eyes and a cuter face shape.
113	* OfficialCouple: With Pierrot in ''Life'', where they even have a baby.
114	* PsychicPowers: In the second series, she's a psychic, hence why she's called "Psi". Her powers are mainly {{Telepathy}} and {{Precognition}}.
115	* TokenMinority: She is the only non-Caucasian in the UniversalAdaptorCast.
116	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's the Girly Girl, being calm and intellectual, to Little Pierrette's {{Tomboy}}, who is occasionally mischievous, obtuse and flapper-like.
117	* WomenAreWiser: She shares this trope with Pierrette. In ''Space'', she shows she's much more pacific and understanding than Pierrot.
118
119	!!Le Teigneux / The Pest
120	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/centurion_horatius_homosapiens.png]]

138	* PerpetualFrowner: He doesn't usually smile.
139	* TheRival: Often portrayed as one to Pierre.
140	* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Dies in at least five episodes of ''Man'' alone, including "The Age of Vikings" (where he is put to the sword by Pierrot) and "The Quattrocento" (where his drink is poisoned by Nabot).
141	* TooDumbToLive: Multiple times, most notably in the ''Life'' episode about the human heart, in which Teingeux complains about angina. His doctor advises him to give up tobacco, alcohol, and excessively fatty foods, but Teigneux ignores the doctor's advice without a second thought. [[spoiler: As you would expect, he suffers a HollywoodHeartAttack.]]

149	%%* DepravedDwarf

155	* NonStandardCharacterDesign: He and Teigneux do not have the BlackBeadEyes that nearly everyone else has, and their faces are more cartoonish than the others.
156	* SmugSnake: Arguably the bigger one of the duo, since he often enables Teigneux's bullshit.
157	%%* ThinChinOfSin
158	* VagueAge: Averted. In one episode, he states that he's 38 years old.
