* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In ''LEGO Soccer Mania'', the Martian with Antares's head is only referred to as "Guard".

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In ''LEGO Soccer Mania'', ''VideoGame/LEGOSoccerMania'', the Martian with Antares's head is only referred to as "Guard".



* YouDontLookLikeYou: LEGO media has a tendency to mix up Antares and Pollux, with the former frequently using the latter's appearance in ''LEGO Mania Magazine'' and ''LEGO Adventures! Magazine'' comics. ''LEGO Soccer Mania'' adds an extra layer of confusion: "Antares" has Pollux's head and Antares's white clothes, and "Guard" has Antares's head and Centauri's blue clothes (while "Centuri" has Centauri's head and Vega's orange clothes).

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Centauri's name is spelled "Centuri" in ''LEGO Soccer Mania''.

* AdaptationNameChange: In ''LEGO Soccer Mania'', Pollux is identified as "Antares" instead. It's a common mistake in LEGO media for Antares to use Pollux's minifigure, except in this instance Antares also appears as a separate Martian called "Guard".

A list of characters who appear in ''Toys/LEGOLifeOnMars''.

----
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Humans]]
!!Assistant
Assistant is the [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep assistant]] during the astronauts' mission to Mars.
* BlueIsHeroic: Assistant's spacesuit has blue limbs, and blue is also his favorite color. He is a member of the heroic team of astronauts.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Assistant is only known as Assistant.
* FlatCharacter: While Assistant is canonically a member of the astronauts' team, he never appears in the comics or radio logs and therefore has no characterization or personality outside of his online bio.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Assistant is a navigator and computer programmer who wears glasses.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Assistant's favorite food is mixed nuts.

!!BB
BB is a young student who entered the Space Lottery and won a trip to Mars.
* LeadYouCanRelateTo: In a toyline about astronauts and Martians, it is unsurprising that one of the main characters is a young human kid.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Subverted. BB was originally toyless when he debuted in the ''LEGO Space Port'' book ''Rocket Rescue'', but was released as a physical minifigure when ''LEGO Life on Mars'' began.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: BB's favorite food is chocolate bars.
* YouthfulFreckles: BB is the youngest human, and he is the only one with freckles.

!!Doc
Doc is a super space scientist ready to perform research on Mars.
* TheProfessor: Doc is the astronauts' resident scientist.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: Doc uses the same face and name as the scientist from ''LEGO Arctic''. Since ''VideoGame/LEGORacers 2'' puts ''Arctic'' and ''Life on Mars'' in the same canon, they might even be the same character.
* TheSmartGuy: Doc is described as a "super space scientist".
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Doc is a brilliant scientist who wears glasses.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Doc's favorite food is freeze-dried ice cream.

!!Mac
Mac is the captain and pilot of the Solar Explorer crew.

* BadassDriver: Mac is a racecar driver in the [[VideoGame/LEGORacers Galactic Racing Championship]].
* TheEngineer: Mac is the mission's top mechanic.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Mac's favorite food is cheeseburgers. In other words, [[StealthPun a Big Mac]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Martians]]
!!In general
* AmbiguousGender: The official product description of 7302 Worker Robot notes that the Martian pilot might be male or female without providing a conclusive answer.
-->He (or is it she?) is geared up and ready for work, perhaps mining precious ore.
* ColorCodedCharacters: While most Martians have unique face designs, the easiest way to tell them apart is to look at which color they're wearing. Cassiopeia wears purple, Altair wears lime green, Vega wears orange, etc. These also match their favorite colors in their online bios.
* HumanoidAliens: Martians are humanoid enough, with an upright posture, two arms, and two legs. Though, discounting [[Toys/RockRaiders Rock Monsters]], the Martians were the first LEGO alien lifeforms to depart from the standard Minifigure design.
* {{Martians}}: It should be obvious from the theme's name, but ''Life on Mars'' is all about human astronauts discovering native inhabitants of Mars. Unlike many other depictions of Martians, these Martians are largely friendly towards the humans. However, they weren't always this way; the radio drama ''Radio/{{The War of the Worlds|1938}}'' was actually a true story, and even in modern day there is TheRemnant still holding onto their violent past.
* NoNameGiven: Several generic unnamed Martians appear in the smaller promotional sets.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: The canyon Martians are rebelling against Riegel's peaceful Martian High Council and are plotting to steal all the Biodium and [[TakeOverTheWorld take over Mars]].
* ToylessToylineCharacter:
** None of the Canyon Martians appear in the released sets; while Arcturus is TheMole working with them, it is unclear whether he is actually a Canyon Martian himself.
** King Yelib, as a PosthumousCharacter, is only named in the online story and does not appear in sets.
* StellarName: Every Martian is named after a star.
* ThemeNaming: All the Martians are [[StellarName named after stars]].
* WeirdWorldWeirdFood: Like the human astronauts, five of the Martians are given a TrademarkFavoriteFood in their online bios. None of them are Earthling cuisines.

!!Altair
Altair is a young friendly Martian pilot.
* AcePilot: Altair is one of the best pilots on Mars.
* DelinquentHair: The fact that Altair seemingly has hair when all other Martians are completely bald may factor into his characterization as a young rebel.
* RebelliousSpirit: Altair is a young Martian who dislikes rules, listens to strange music, and flies too fast.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Altair's favorite food is jeezbirgr.
* YouthfulFreckles: Altair is one of the few Martians with freckles, and he is also described as young.

!!Antares
Antares is a Martian inventor and doctor.
* TheEngineer: Antares is the inventor of the Aero Tube Hanger.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In ''LEGO Soccer Mania'', the Martian with Antares's head is only referred to as "Guard".
* TheMedic: Antares is a doctor, and he dislikes Martian flu season, which implies that he works in the medical field in addition to inventing technology such as aero tubes.
* TheSmartGuy: Antares is a brilliant inventor.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Antares's favorite food is vegetable cubes.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: LEGO media has a tendency to mix up Antares and Pollux, with the former frequently using the latter's appearance in ''LEGO Mania Magazine'' and ''LEGO Adventures! Magazine'' comics. ''LEGO Soccer Mania'' adds an extra layer of confusion: "Antares" has Pollux's head and Antares's white clothes, and "Guard" has Antares's head and Centauri's blue clothes (while "Centuri" has Centauri's head and Vega's orange clothes).

!!Arcturus
Arcturus is the former leader of the Martians who once [[Radio/TheWarOfTheWorlds1938 invaded Earth in 1938]].
* DevilInPlainSight: Arcturus is described as "sinister" in appearance when the astronauts meet him for the first time. And yet, he is a member of the High Council of Mars with nobody suspecting him of being TheMole.
* TheMole: Arcturus was secretly providing information to the canyon Martians.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Arcturus has red eyes, identifying him as the only villainous Martian in the sets.
* RedIsViolent: Arcturus wears red, and he is a former interplanetary invader who currently collaborates with a violent rebel faction.
* TheRemnant: Seems to be the case with Arcturus, who still seems bitter about the [[Radio/TheWarOfTheWorlds1938 failed Martian invasion of Earth]], is the most distrusting of the human astronauts, and is ultimately revealed to be TheMole.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The former Martian leader is named Arcturus in the online story, which matches the name of the star. But in the instruction booklet for the Aero Tube Hangar, it's spelled "Arctures" instead.

!!Canopus
Canopus is a scientist who operates the Excavation Searcher.
* AmbiguousGender: Strictly speaking, Canopus is not known to be referred to with gendered terms in English media. He is commonly assumed to be male due to lacking Cassiopeia's TertiarySexualCharacteristics, and due to being indirectly named after a male figure from Myth/ClassicalMythology.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In ''LEGO Racers 2'', Canopus is merely called "Scientist". In ''LEGO Soccer Mania'', he's called "Excavation Searcher".
* FlatCharacter: Aside from being a scientist who can play soccer, Canopus has very little defined characterization.
* TheProfessor: Canopus is the Martians' resident scientist, and is [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep merely called "Scientist"]] in ''LEGO Racers 2''.

!!Cassiopeia
Cassiopeia is the daughter of Riegel who quickly befriends the human astronauts.
* ActionGirl: Cassiopeia is a female Martian who takes initiative in fighting the rebels.
* BadassDriver: Cassiopeia is a racecar driver in the [[VideoGame/LEGORacers Galactic Racing Championship]].
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Cassiopeia is the daughter of the royal ruler, Riegel. She takes an active role in stopping the rebellious canyon Martians, even going out into the field into enemy territory or searching for biodium scrolls.
* SecretCharacter: In ''VideoGame/LEGORacers 2'', the player can play as Cassiopeia on Mars by inputting a cheat code on the main menu.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: You can tell that Cassiopeia is the only female Martian because she's the only one with noticeable eyelashes.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cassiopeia's favorite food is Crème de Coutharkin.
* WrenchWench: Cassiopeia is not only the Martians' princess, but also a technician with an expertise in robotics.
* YouthfulFreckles: Cassiopeia is one of the few Martians with freckles, and she is also described as young.

!!Centauri
Centauri is a guard who pilots the Red Planet Protector.
* FlatCharacter: Centauri's only character traits are that he is a guard and he can play soccer.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Centauri's name is spelled "Centuri" in ''LEGO Soccer Mania''.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: In ''LEGO Soccer Mania'', Centuri wears orange instead of blue. Oddly, there is a blue-wearing Martian called "Guard", but this Martian has Antares's head instead.

!!Mizar
Mizar is a Martian who is sympathetic to the humans and helps search for their missing Solar Explorer.
* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Sabotage!'' is unique among the radio logs for being the only log entry told from the perspective of a Martian; in this case, Mizar recording Martian Hyperlog, XK.7.

!!Pollux
Pollux is a member of the Excavation Searcher crew.
* AdaptationNameChange: In ''LEGO Soccer Mania'', Pollux is identified as "Antares" instead. It's a common mistake in LEGO media for Antares to use Pollux's minifigure, except in this instance Antares also appears as a separate Martian called "Guard".
* AmbiguousGender: Strictly speaking, Pollux is not known to be referred to with gendered terms in English media. He is commonly assumed to be male due to lacking Cassiopeia's TertiarySexualCharacteristics, and due to being indirectly named after a male figure from Myth/ClassicalMythology.
* FlatCharacter: While Pollux does have dialogue and a bonus game in the Game Boy Advance version of ''VideoGame/LEGORacers 2'', he has very little defined characterization. It doesn't help that most of Pollux's "appearances" in other media are meant to be Antares instead.

!!Riegel
Riegel is the current general of the main Martian colony, struggling to maintain order while the rebellious canyon Martians are trying to seize control of the planet. For tropes relating to his appearance in ''LEGO Racers 2'', see [[Characters/LEGORacers here]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Riegel is a tough ruler, but he is reasonable enough to work with the humans once he recognizes that they do not pose a threat, and he even asks for their help against the aggressive rebels.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Riegel is described as the Martians' royal ruler. He takes an active role in stopping the rebellious canyon Martians.
* SecretCharacter: In ''LEGO Soccer Mania'', Reigel can be unlocked as a character by completing all of the Skill Zone challenges.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The Martian leader's name alternates between three spellings: Riegel, Reigel, and Rigel. It's particularly egregious on [[http://www.miniland.nl/LEGOclub/lego%20mania%20magazine%20jan%20feb%202001/3.jpg this page]] of ''LEGO Mania'', where both the "Riegel" and "Rigel" spellings are used! Since "Rigel" is the name of the star, it's most likely the correct spelling, but "Riegel" is more consistently used across LEGO media.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Riegel's favorite foods are space slugs and caviack.

!!Vega
Vega is a support officer with an expertise in excavation.
* AmbiguousGender: Vega is not known to be identified by any gendered terms in English media, although the lack of Cassiopeia's TertiarySexualCharacteristics suggests that Vega is presumably male.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In the Russian ''Самоделки'' magazine comic, Vega is called Охранник (Security Guard) instead of given a name.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Vega's favorite food is stone soup.
