[[folder:The Main Trio]]

!!Rikochet
->Voiced in English by: Creator/CarlosAlazraqui (Seasons 1 & 2); Creator/JasonMarsden (Season 3)
->Voiced in Latin American Spanish: Creator/HectorEmmanuelGomez
->Voiced in Japanese by: Creator/TakeshiKusao
Rikochet is an ambitious student [[ToBeAMaster who wants to be the greatest luchador of all time]].

* BoringButPractical: One episode centered on him learning the value of fundamentals, the kind of BoringButPractical beginner stuff that lays the groundwork for more advanced stuff. He later uses said fundamentals to great effect.
* BouncingBattler: When he uses his "Pulverizing Pinball" move.
* CatchPhrase: "Ay, basura!"[[note]]A literal translation of OhCrap from English to Spanish. The correct translation should be ''¡Oh, Rayos!'' or something similar in Spanish.[[/note]]
* ChickMagnet: On two occasions, Rikochet receives kisses from Penny Plutonium and La Flamencita.
* TheKirk: He's the leader of his trio of junior luchadors.
* SignatureMove: The "Pulverizing Pinball", in which he turns into a giant pinball following a brief and melodramatic routine, and the "Spinning Top" in which he transforms into a giant top.
* SpectacularSpinning: His "Spinning Top" move.
* ToBeAMaster: He wants to be a veteran luchador like his dad, and even more in later seasons, where he aims to be "Luchador Supreme."
* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: His costume invokes either the American or Texas flag ([[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Maybe both?]]). It may or may not be a straight example, though, since the location of the show isn't specified.

!!Buena Girl
->Voiced in English by: Creator/KimberlyBrooks
->Voiced in Latin American Spanish: Creator/KarlaFalcon
->Voiced in Japanese by: Sachiko Kojima

Of the three, Buena Girl is the most knowledgeable on ''The Code of Masked Wrestling'', which she uses as guidelines for the trio's actions and behavior.

* BerserkButton: Since she's such a fanatical follower of the Code of Masked Wrestling, she'll go completely ballistic if she sees anyone going against it whether deliberately or accidentally, this was exemplified when Ricochet lost his mask, he tried to hide his face and broach the subject (in a "I have this friend" way) to Buena Girl only for her to recite the code, scream "It's not right!" at the top of her lungs, and then tell Ricochet that if she sees this so-called "friend" that she'll pummel them into the dirt!
* BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill: In "Tooth or Dare".
* ButtMonkey: She suffers quite a bit of bad luck in the first season.
* CatchPhrase: "It's not buena!" and "It's not right!"
* HeroicBSOD: In "Not So Buena Girl".
* LawfulStupid: She's fanatically loyal to the Code of Masked Wrestling, even if it means becoming a problem for her friends.
* LeotardOfPower: Her costume seems to be this, though in one episode it was shown that it's actually a two piece costume with skin colored leggings.
* RulesLawyer: Frequently recites the Code of Masked Wrestling for life advice.
* SignatureMove: The "Buena Bulldozer Of Truth", where she transforms into a bulldozer.
%%* SoapboxSadie
* TheSpock: She serves as the wisest of the trio and the entire luchador academy, though she tends to have oblivious moments due to assuming everybody else is as much a stickler for the rules as she.

!!The Flea
->Voiced by: Creator/CandiMilo
->Voiced in Latin American Spanish: Creator/VictorUgarte
->Voiced in Japanese by: Creator/ChikaSakamoto

The Flea is quite the opposite of Buena Girl. He avoids personal hygiene and usually has no problem with breaking the rules.

* AccidentalMurder: It's shown in a flashback that he ate the previous Luchador Supreme thinking it's a type of hotdog.
%%* ArchEnemy: The Masked Toilet
%%* BigEater: Oh HELL yes.
%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* ExtremeOmnivore: He will sometimes eat garbage out of the can. Whether or not the items in the can are actually thrown-out ''food'' doesn't matter to him either.
* {{Fartillery}}: It's implied he uses farts while fighting consantly.
* {{Gasshole}}: And how! Farts more than else one almost constantly belches at times too.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A lot more selfish than the other protagonists, but still willing to do the right thing when his friends are in danger.
%%* TheMcCoy
%%* OrganAutonomy
* OwMyBodyPart:
** "Aye, the Flea's spleen!"
** Also: "The Flea cannot feel his ___! Oh wait, here it is, right next to the Flea."
* ThePigPen: So dirty, his naturally white suit looks brown!
* SignatureMove: His trademark signature move is never seen during the show, but it was hinted (as well as shown in the opening sequence) that he turns into a green cloud of stench so potent that he could smash certain objects.
* ThirdPersonPerson: The Flea constantly likes to talk about The Flea in third person! The Flea's parents also do it a lot.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Donuts, which is a given since his family owns a donut shop. He's also fond of churros.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Other Students]]
!!Megawatt
->Voiced by: Michael Donovan

A wrestler whose mask is in the likeness of a lightbulb. He can execute electric attacks, but is also very clumsy.
* CowardlyLion: He is shown to be quite timid and almost scared of everything but when his friends are in need of aid, he's willing to step up.
* ShockAndAwe: When you have a name like Megawatt, it's pretty obvious what he could do.
* SimpletonVoice: In the later half of the show's run.
%%* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes

!!Penny Plutonium
->Voiced by: Creator/TabithaStGermain

A blonde genius who often conducts scientific experiments, which tend to backfire. She has a secret crush on Rikochet.

* ButtMonkey: In the entire run of the show, she loses practically every match she participates in.
* DumbBlonde: Inverted very hard. Her signature move is even called "[[MyBrainIsBig Brain Buster]]".
* GirlishPigtails: She sports two blonde pigtails.

!!Potato Potata Jr.
->Voiced by: Cusse Mankuma

* TheBully: His first appearance has him as the school bully Ricochet must defeat. Other appearances [[TookALevelInKindness tone down his jerkassery]].
* GracefulLoser: When he and Ricochet compete in a tournament in Getting Ahead, Ricochet wins on accident and is sad that his prize is a lot of Doughnuts rather than the 2nd place prize of a mask he really wanted. Jr. finds him after the match and happily offers to trade, as he wanted the doughnuts and Ricochet wanted the mask.

%%!!Francisco of the Forest
%%->Voiced by: Creator/ScottMcNeil


!!El Haystack Grande
->Voiced by: Creator/GarryChalk
* ScaryScarecrows: His outfit invokes this. It's also the theme of many of his moves.

A masked sumo wrestler with high-tech gear.

* GeniusBruiser: He's a huge sumo and smart in gadgets.


%% !!Minotoro
%% ->Voiced by: Creator/ScottMcNeil
%%
%% A bull-like wrestler who has horns on his head. He is rich and spoiled, but gets along very well with the main trio.
%%

%%!!El Perrito


!!Snow Pea
->Voiced by: Creator/KimberlyBrooks

A small, baby-like mascarita who is the least violent student in the school. His signature move is simply a friendly hug, and he can [[PokemonSpeak only say his own name]] (and, [[spoiler:in "Virtual Luchadores", "Rutabaga"]]). His costume resembles a pea pod, with a zipper that he uses to hide himself when frightened.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He maybe timid and sweet but make no mistake. If you push him too far, Snow Pea will kick your butt.
* ButtMonkey: Most if probably not all episodes had Snow Pea being subjected to painful and/or humiliating circumstances.
* HiddenDepths: Snowpea is actually a [[spoiler: veteran gamer]].
* PokemonSpeak: His only word that he uses is his own name. "Virtual Luchardores"


!!La Flamencita
A masked Flamenco dancer who communicates by clacking her castanets and tapping her feet.

* DanceBattler: She fights with flamenco dancing.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Being a Flamenco dancer, she wears a frilly red flamenco dress and CombatStilettos.
* TheVoiceless: Much like French Twist and Coco Demento, she doesn't speak and only uses her castanets and her dancing to do the talking for her.


!!French Twist

This student looks and acts like a mime, and as such, is usually TheVoiceless.

* MotorMouth: What he turns into in "French Twisted".
* SuddenlyVoiced: By Creator/LeeTockar in "French Twisted".

!!Cindy Slam
->Voiced by: Creator/KimberlyBrooks (Seasons 1 & 2); Creator/CandiMilo (Season 3)

-->''"GRRRRR!"''
-->[[spoiler:''"This isn't MY diary~!"'']]

A violent little mascarita who hates just about everything and gets angry very easily. Her signature move is to turn her hands into brick walls and crush her opponent.

* HairTriggerTemper: It really seems like anything will set her off into UnstoppableRage, but thankfully, it's actually not that bad, as {{Tsundere}} below shows.
* {{Tsundere}}: As evidenced in "The Anger of Cindy Slam" when the Main Trio try to return her diary, she seems like she's going to rip them apart on the mistaken belief that they might have read it, only to [[MoodWhiplash whiplash]] as she cheerfully says the diary isn't hers.

!!Zero Kelvin

An ice-themed wrestler dresses in a light blue hoodie and pants and white vest.

%%* AnIcePerson
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Pierre Del Fuego.

!!Pierre Del Fuego

A fire-themed wrestler.

%% * {{Mook}}: In the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game.

!!Tibor the Terrible
->Voiced by: Creator/CarlosAlazraqui (Seasons 1 & 2); Creator/DeeBradleyBaker (Season 3)

-->''"He called me a pirate! Plundering, scavenging, [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil downloading MP3s]]!"''

A mascarita in a pirate costume (or "a pirate in a boy suit", as Flea once described him), introduced as a student in the bad guy class. He wants to be a real pirate.

%% * {{Mook}}: In the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: He talks a big game about being a pirate, but he never actually steals anything. It's probably part of his Kayfabe.

!!El Gundamo
A student from the bad guy class, inspired by Japanese wrestler [[Wrestling/JushinThunderLiger Jushin "Thunder" Liger]]. He aims to be the monster warden of Little Tokyo, and takes lessons from his sensei, a pink bunny named Kyoto.

* ArtEvolution: A minor one. In his first appearance, his eyes were black, which fits the bad guy motif. Later appearances gave him normal eyes.
* GadgeteerGenius: He's quite fascinated with technology and in one episode engineers a robot... which quickly becomes self-aware and takes over the school.
* {{Kaiju}}: His costume is based on some kind of monster.
%% * {{Mook}}: In the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game.

!!Coco Demento
A student from the bad guy class, a clown who seems to enjoy getting laughs out of people more than fighting.

* MonsterClown Scary Clown: His theme. He's meant to be a send-up to Wrestling/DoinkTheClown.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In the past, Coco threw a large pie at an orphanage leaving everyone that lived in it homeless. Ever since, Coco has been left with nothing but guilt.
* TheVoiceless: Communicates by honking his clown nose.

%%!!El Loco Mosquito

Hasbeena, and Buena Girl. He was soon caught and expelled, but he came back for the ChristmasEpisode.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Faculty]]

!!The Founder
The school's founder. He's revered as the one who defined lucha libre as a sport by defeating El Custodio, who wanted it to be a fad and make money off it. He wrote the masked wrestling code.
* {{Hammerspace}}: He somehow made the school appear from either his pockets or out of nowhere.
* SignatureMove: The Foundation. No, really. In fact, he defeated El Custodio by founding the school and smashing him with it.

!!The Headmistress
->Voiced by: Creator/CandiMilo

The principal of the school of lucha libre that the Mascaritas attend. Headmistress is extremely strict and intolerant of any behavior that goes against the code of masked wrestling, often expelling students at the slightest infraction.
* BerserkButton: People going against the Code of Masked Wrestling. When Ricochet ends up at school without his mask the headmistress doesn't even need to spot it to see it's not there and she goes right on the warpath until she gets to Ricochet.
* TheComicallySerious: Often used in this fashion. Particularly obvious in the intro, where an unamused Headmistress is standing still next to a happily dancing Sr. Hasbeena. He even smacks his butt against her.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone calls her by her title.
* HairTriggerTemper : This was especially bad in 'Timmy of 1000 Masks' as she once expelled Mr. Midcarda (another faculty member!) when she thought he was questioning her authority as things became progressively worse over the episode.
* HonorBeforeReason: When she's challenged by [[EvilGenius Maestro del Mundo]] for headship of the school, she's bound by the Code of Masked Wrestling to accept—even verifying it with Buena Girl.
* LargeHam: It's rarer for her to use a more indoor voice as she's that strict.
* MoodSwinger: In the very first episode she goes from describing a devastating punishment that she gave another wrestler to laughing cheerfully about it as if it was one big joke. She then goes on to say that Ricochet has 2 strikes already and if he gets one more he is OUT but then after winning his match with Potato Potata Jr. she congratulates him and says she's wiping his slate clean.
* MyBrainIsBig: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]. It's not, but she uses this aesthetic. Her mask is fashioned in a way that makes it look as if her brain is large and bulging out of her head, but the episode "Field of Screams" reveals she actually just stuffs her hair under the mask.
* NotSoAboveItAll: In "Buena On Wheels", she's against Roller Lucha, but eventually likes it following the main trio participating in it old-fashioned Lucha style.
* {{Tsundere}}: An extreme non-romantic version, She's tough as nails and very Tsun to nearly all students but when it comes to Buena Girl who follows the code of masked wrestling to a T she shows her Dere side and comes off as a ReasonableAuthorityFigure

!!Señor Hasbeena
->Voiced by: Creator/ScottMcNeil

A teacher who has lots of nostalgia for the 1970s. He used to be a professional wrestler named Señor Couldbea, but lost his World Championship title in the 70s and never won it again, an incident that continues to haunt him for years.
* DiscoDan: Look no further than his signature move, where he turns into a luminous disco ball.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His defeat at the World Championship? [[spoiler:It's literally his own fault, as the flash that blinded him came from his future self using his signature move.]]
* LargeHam: Overlaps with SesquipedalianLoquaciousness when he tells the Main Trio that they'll have to wrestle him if they want to stop him from changing the past. [[spoiler:Except, this ended up being what actually happened, as You Already Changed The Past shows.]]
* LightEmUp: His signature move turns him into a disco ball that blinds his opponents and stuns them. [[spoiler:Even he isn't immune if he's not the one doing it, as this was how he lost his World Championship match back in the day.]]
* MeaningfulName: A has-been who has retired from wrestling and instead teaches at the school.
* YouAlreadyChangedThePast: When he finds a way to TimeTravel back to the 70s, he goes back to the day he lost the World Championship [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong to prevent the flash that blinded him and cost him the match]]. [[spoiler:It turns out, he himself was the one who did the flash, when he used his signature move against the Main Trio, who had followed him to the past to stop him as time travel is against the Code Of Masked Wrestling.]]

!!Mr. Midcarda
->Voiced by: Creator/CarlosAlazraqui (Seasons 1 & 2); Creator/JasonMarsden (Season 3).

The physical education teacher who organizes lucha libre matches between students and acts as the referee. His name is derived from the professional wrestling term "midcarder", which refers to a wrestler who performs between the undercard and the main event.

* CombatReferee : Is in charge of reffing every wrestling match that goes down in the school and is typically right in the thick of things when it happens.
* HonorBeforeReason: When [[EvilGenius Maestro del Mundo]] has the Headmistress pinned for their match over command of the school, Midcarda ''very slightly'' drags on the three-count, but still does so and reluctantly declares the villain as winner of the match.
* LargeHam: Very much so, mostly when refereeing a match. The first shot of the intro is him screaming the show's title at the top of his lungs.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Family members, pets, and paraphernalia]]

!!Lonestar and Mama Maniaca
->Voiced by: Benito Martinez (Lonestar) and Creator/CandiMilo (Mama Maniaca)

%% * ActionMom: Mama Maniaca
* DisappearedDad: Lonestar travels a lot. But we do see him occasionally when he sees his family.
%% * WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Lone Star, like his son. Again, whether or not it's a straight example is ambiguous.

!!Abuelito / Estrella de Fuego ("Star of Fire")

* CoolOldGuy: Having had a near legendary wrestling career, he's always got a cool story to tell Rikochet to help him with his troubles.

!!Masked Dog

Rikochet's [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin dog who wears a mask]].

* PhraseCatcher: "He's cool".


!!El Rey
Rikochet's living action figure who acts like a mentor figure to him.

* CatchPhrase: "IT'S A DISGRACE!"
* DrillSergeantNasty: Has this attitude whenever he tries to coach Rikochet on something. More than once, the moral of an episode would be that he needs to lighten up and let Rikochet grow at his own pace, [[AesopAmnesia only to be forgotten]], sometimes comedically quickly.
* RealMenWearPink: He's surprisingly good at flamenco dancing.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Whenever he's scared of upset he lets out an icredibly shrill scream.

!!Buena Mom and Buena Dad

Buena Girl's excessively cheery parents.

!!Mr. and Mrs. Flea

The Flea's parents who run Slammin' Donuts.

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Their dancing embarrasses the Flea in the opening intro.
* BeehiveHairdo: Mrs. Flea. It's half as tall as the rest of her.
* ThirdPersonPerson: ''All of them.'' The Flea seems to have gotten this habit from his parents.

!!Pulgita

The Flea's baby sister.

* BadassAdorable: One episode where The Flea ineptly fails to babysit her shows that she's more than capable of taking care of herself, despite being an infant. She's actually stronger than her older brother, having developed a signature move before she could talk.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Recurring Antagonists]]
!!Primadonna Hodges, Carlton Cold Jones, and Heavy Traffic

Three bullies from Hairy Knuckles Academy, a rival wrestling school. They appeared to be based on American professional wrestlers, who are generally larger than Mexican luchadores.

%% * [[TheBully]]
* {{Catchphrase}}: Primadonna's Attitude Era-style character made her calling everyone "jabroni" a necessity.
%% * HeelFaceTurn: Heavy Traffic in one episode, becoming an England-themed luchador named "Union Jack". [[FaceHeelTurn Went back to being Heavy Traffic at the end of the episode.]]
%% * {{Mook}}s: In the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game.


!!The Masked Toilet

An evil luchador toilet, who is the worst enemy of the Flea.
----
* ArchEnemy: To the Flea

!!Calavera Muerto

A young boy that Ricochet offers hospitality to during Dia de los Muertos. But he finds living in the real world to be more enjoyable and tries to stay there. Permanently.
----
* CreepyChild: Seems fairly amicable when introduced, but gets creepy when he refuses to return to the underworld. Also, he's an undead child with a painted skull for a head. Finding out it's NOT just a mask weirds everyone out.
* DeathGlare:
-->'''Calavera:''' I don't wanna leave, ever.\\
'''Ricochet:''' Ever?\\
'''Calavera:''' ''(flaming eyes)'' EVER!
* GracefulLoser: He takes his defeat and impending return to the Land of the Dead pretty well, simply asking Ricochet to finish the last level of the game they were playing together for him.
* MeaningfulName: "Calavera" means "skull" in Spanish and Muerto means "Dead" (Though Calavera is a femenine object, making his name gramatically incorrect).
* UndeadChild: Seems to be about Rikochet's age. Also, he escaped the underworld and doesn't want to go back.
----

!!Misterioso Grande

A demon who rules over the Dream Realm. It's said that if he steals your mask in your dreams, then you lose it in real life.
----
* CaptainErsatz: Of [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]].
* GreenAndMean: He has lime green skin and enjoys terrorizing children.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His defeats are often related to his own dream nature.
** In his debut, Ricochet realizes that he can change forms since he's in the Dream Realm, so he changes himself multiple times to defeat Misterioso.
** In the second round, the trio conjure "their greatest fears that they haven't had yet" to wipe out the existing nightmares and Misterioso Grande himself.
* IKnowWhatYouFear: In his second appearance, he summons the greatest fears of the luchador students and teachers to scare them into surrendering their masks.
* RealityWarper: As the ruler of the Dream Realm, he can warp the environment to his advantage. In his second appearance, he's able to warp the ''Waking World''.
----

!!El Malefico
->Voiced by: Creator/TimCurry

%%
* BigBad: Of TheMovie.
* CastingAShadow: Has a lot of darkness based powers.
* ImAHumanitarian: Considered eating El Silver Mask Junior before deciding to just absorb him like everyone else since he didn't look tasty.
* LargeHam: He's voiced by ''Creator/TimCurry'', this is a given. "Overacting" is an understatement.
* OneWingedAngel: After he's beaten in the first fight, he transforms into a towering giant to continue the fight.
* PlayingWithFire: The powers he has that aren't based on darkness are fire based.
* SealedEvilInACan: Was imprisoned in the core of the Earth for 100,000 years. [[spoiler:He used Flea to trick Rikochet into freeing him by reading a passage from the Code of Masked Wrestling backwards. At the end, he's defeated and sealed back up again.]]
* WhenThePlanetsAlign: Can only be set free when this happens. If he's not put back by the time they come out of alignment, he becomes unstoppable.

%%!!The Monkey
