Arfenhouse was a series of freeware RPGs made by a group called AK Ware (later known as Disaster Labs) using OHRRPGCE. The games were intentionally made to look awful, which was reflected in the Flash series in all the character designs.
- Housemaster is the guardian of Arfenhouse. He has a piece of bread for a face, and is clearly a Heroic Comedic Sociopath of some kind.
- Piakchu is Housemaster's pet, an obvious pixelated styling of the mascot Pokémon, who he feeds jelly beans like the blob from A Boy and His Blob.
- Dog is one of the other characters to join Housemaster's party. He's an icon made from a photograph of a dog's face, and happily joins in any insanity that Housemaster starts.
- Evil Kitty/Good Kitty is one of the early villains who plays turncoat and joins Housemaster. Like Dog, she's an icon from a photo of a cat's face.
- Joseph is one of the only fully-drawn characters, a humanoid character from another RPG who got warped into Arfenhouse. He tries to play the Straight Man role, but nobody listens to him.
- Woogy is one of many round, two-colored ball guys who frequently trade non-sequiturs with each other and the other characters.
- Billy is the main villain of the series, an 8-year old brat represented by a yellow ball with a face, who tries to make popular Flash movies using stolen content (i.e. copyrighted video game characters), among other methods of gaining notoriety.
