Main Characters

Byron Oakington III

The... hero of the story. He wants to be a bodybuilder and battle homunculi for amusement.

Disappeared Dad: Byron's father is nowhere to be seen. Since his mother claims the man was 72 and in failing health when she married him, it's a safe bet he's dead by now.
Heroic Lineage: In the comments of the first episode, Dorkly implies that Byron might be Rusty's great-great-great-grandfather.
Inbred and Evil: Byron refers to his family as being "tastefully inbred".
Lack of Empathy: Byron openly admits that he has no empathy.
Politically Incorrect Villain: While looking for a corpse to make a homunculi for, he dismisses one as "too Irish".
Spoiled Brat: A wealthy child from an aristocratic family, who orders his butler around like a dog.
Upper-Class Twit: Byron has such a large family fortune that he's guaranteed a life of frivolity. He spends his time creating monstrosities, despite knowing little about it.

Adults

Lady Oakington

Byron's mother.

Absurdly Youthful Mother: She looks quite young, and given how old she was when she got married, she might only be 22 years old.
Hands-Off Parenting: Has no problem letting her son travel around creating and battling homunculi.
Old Man Marrying a Child: She claims that she was 11 years old when she married Byron's father - a 72-year-old man who was senile and suffering from bone madness.

Professor Nox

An ether-addicted professor who provides Byron with his creatures and teaches him how battling bodies goes.

Churchgoing Villain: Professor Nox invokes God twice so far - describing bodybuilding as "subverting God Almighty's will for profit" and insisting that augmentations to homunculi be called Creationisming instead of Evolving.
Everybody Has Standards: He may create abominations, but even he is briefly disturbed by Byron's lack of empathy.
Functional Addict: He's addicted to ether, but is still able to create homunculi with science.

Aloysius

Byron's butler.

Old Retainer: He's elderly and obeys his mistress and her son without question.
Servile Snarker: Aloysious makes one quip, saying "It is really quite tragic, sir" after Byron orders him to mourn Failed Rat Experiment #6 for him.

Failed Rat Experiment # 6

Byron's creature. Later named Eye-possum.

Adorable Abomination: In its Failed Rat Experiment #6 form, it looks like a cute mouse.
Ax-Crazy: In its Eye-possum form, it is infected with rabies and claws Piggley Geoff nearly to death.
Back from the Dead: Killed by Squid-Turtle in the first episode. After this, Professor Nox attaches its bloated eye to the headless corpse of an opossum and reanimates the corpse.
Expy: One of Pikachu. This is driven home by Professor Nox repeatedly emphasizing that it's totally unmarketable to children and incapable of supporting a franchise.
Taking You with Me: Electrocutes Squid-Turtle to death after being crushed against the floor by it.

Piggley Geoff

A creature owned by another aristocratic child.

And I Must Scream: Is in great pain after being brought back to life, and wants to die again. This is made worse by the fact that it was previously in Heaven before being revived.
Expy: Of Jiggly Puff.
Back from the Dead: Is revived with revenant juice, much to its displeasure.
