Maybe you can give your stick figures clothes?
♥♥II'GSJQGDvhhMKOmXunSrogZliLHGKVMhGVmNhBzGUPiXLYki'GRQhBITqQrrOIJKNWiXKO♥♥@Sandy: Aside from the main character, most of the characters have clothes, hair, and actual eyes.
I'd give the main guy clothes too. Appearance is a nice way to suggest character (Or subvert it), but there's very little expressive about a stick figure.
Is the main guy a deadpan snarker or a lazy slob? Give him a simple T-shirt and slacks. Cloudcuckoolander? Give him a funny hat and a superfluous jacket! Only sane man? Give him the only sane clothes!
Also, it's going to be difficult having a main character without eyes communicating with other characters; the audience can see their facial reactions, but not his (hers?).

Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.You could give them faces.
^^ The main character has eyes too, and he was also going to have a type of hat on his head.
The idea was the main character is wearing clothes, but his profession demands mobility, so he wears a type of jumpsuit or somesuch thats skintight.
^ Every character has face.
I should mention this, but the more powerful a stick figure is in this, the more human he/she looks. Some haracters I have planned aren't even really stick figures.

I don't think stick figures are overdone. Just go for it.
So, I've been thinking of putting out a stick figure webcomic; I've been working on this comic since the fifth grade, and i think it's time to share it. But are stick figure overdone, what with Xiao Xiao and XKCD ?
Note; I can draw, I just like stick figures as an art style, so :P
