tiny ghosts, cast

Clara and Arnold
No one is really sure if Clara and Arnold are lovers or just brother and sister, which kinda creeps some people out. They are both heavy into the emo scene, although Arnold won't admit it, because, you know, he's a guy and guys never admit to being emo. Whenever he protests too strongly about it though Clara pulls out Arnold's Get Up Kids cds because she hates it when he pretends to hide his sensitive side.
The Tiny out-of-focus Ballerina
The ballerina lives underneath a bush, which sounds uncomfortable, but she's fixed it up nice with some of that cheap furniture from Ikea. Her name is really Hilda, but she'd die of embarrassment if anyone she knew actually found out. She still tells people she's a student, and part of her really wants to go back and finish her degree, but deep down inside she knows it probably won't ever happen. She loves The Daily Show, but doesn't get to watch it that much because she doesn't own a tv.
Ted the Robot
Ted is pretty small now, but he's really hoping that his growth spurt will start soon. His hero is Voltron, but only the one made of lions, not the one made of cars. He's worried that one day after he's full-size he'll go insane and end up ravaging a whole city with nuclear-tipped death missiles. He's never told anyone about his fear though because, we'll basically, it would sound pretty silly coming from a guy only three inches tall. His favorite band right now is The Decemberists, but he's pretty fickle about stuff like that.
Monkey Monkey
Everyone thinks that Monkey Monkey smokes a lot of pot because he's always hanging out back behind the set listening to stoner rock on his mallet head headphones. But he's just a little antisocial and prefers the solitude of My Morning Jacket and Animal Collective to the inane gossipy chatter of some of the other cast members (you know who you are...) He's got this modeling gig as part of his contract with Mr. Moon, but although he enjoys the work, he loathes that contract because it splits the take 60-40. Monkey Monkey's agent told him that the straight man always gets more in a comedy duo, but it still gets under his fur a little bit when Mr. Moon brags about the fancy cuban cigars he can afford to smoke.
Larry the Dead Guy
Larry originally wanted to be a Shakespearean actor, but was tired of getting typecast as Yorick so he moved into comic strip modeling and hasn't looked back. His dream is to star in updated versions of all those '80s John Cusack movies, but he fears he's getting a little too old to be believable as a teenager. He'd like his fans to know that he's not wearing a dress, regardless of what Hilda keeps telling people.
The pigs
The pigs are part of a pretty strong union and if you want to use any of them you have to pay all of them, even if most of them just end up sitting around on set smoking cigarettes and pilfering food out of the catering van. No one around here has bothered to learn their names, figuring its ok to just call them by their colors. That annoys the pigs to no end, but not because of any racial overtones, just because they are colorblind and aren't really sure who is being referred to. They all listen to jazz, but often get into fights over whether they should spend the evening with the radio tuned to the bee-bop station or the modern jazz station. The blue pig actually prefers fusion jazz, but never speaks up because he's afraid of sounding foolish.
Mr. Moon
Mr. Moon has never watched a single episode of Breaking Bad or The Wire. He secretly thinks he's missing out, but he's too annoyed by all those people who tell him how great they are to add them to his Netflix queue. He's stubborn like that. Mr. Moon smokes a lot of cigars. He says he can tell the difference between Cuban ones and other kinds, but he really can't. Thankfully he is thoughtful enough to only smoke them out back, away from the rest of the cast.
JFK
John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 - November 22, 1963), commonly known as Jack Kennedy or by his initials JFK, was an American politician who served as the 35th President of the United States from January 1961 until his assassination in November 1963. Notable events that occurred during his presidency included the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the establishment of the Peace Corps, the Space Race including Project Apollo (which later culminated in the moon landings), the building of the Berlin Wall, the African-American Civil Rights Movement, and the increased U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.
Merle
Merle was discovered in North Carolina by a casting agent tasked with finding the perfect doubles for Arnold and Clara. Merle denies having plastic surgery to look like his idols, but his Facebook page suspiciously lacks any photos older than a year or two, which really makes us wonder. Merle claims he just didn't have a smart phone and so never took any selfles before then, but honestly that's a pretty lame excuse. His favorite genre of music is outlaw country, but none of the rest of us know what that means.
Databot
Databot was actually hired to be IT support for the tiny ghosts project. That's still his main job, and he carries a backup entire archive with him at all times on a USB drive inside his body, in case a nuclear apocalypse knocks out the main tiny ghosts servers. Or at least that's what he tells the ladies he meets in bars in order to inflate his importance. Of course, they all see right through him though, even if most are too nice to mock him to his face. Databot also keeps copies of all his favorite mp3s on his USB drive, and can often be seen in the server room humming along to music only he can hear. He totally turns red and gets all embarrassed if you walk in and catch him doing it.
Esme
Esme likes to freak people out by giving them the evil eye. Or she would if she knew what the "evil eye" really meant. Mostly she just ends up giving them the Hawaiian "aloha" sign by accident, which is just really confusing. Esme has searched for shampoo that will give her less body, but has yet to find a brand that claims to make your hair thinner and limper. She complains about this to anyone willing to listen. She wishes her hips were a bit thinner and would like to thank her parents for supporting her in her career.
Buttoneyes
Buttoneyes used to really be into ska when it was trendy, but he's really glad now that he never followed through with his dream of getting that chest tattoo of devlls rolling dice. He still thinks that star tattoos look pretty cool, but he never seriously considered getting one himself because he didn't want to be associated with all those "hipster lame-os." He spends a lot of time with his cousin Patrick, who was too shy to be interviewed for this biography. Buttoneyes often performs shirtless, and if you ask him he'll say its an homage to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. But in actuality its because he figures that showing off his pecs will get his photos into the gossip mags. He has a crush on Esme, but as of yet, she hasn't noticed.
Mainiacs
The Mainiacs are so close they share a World of Warcraft account. They aren't actually from Maine, but they did live there for a while and they haven't thought of a better pun to use on their letterhead. The lighter one is named Stan. They were on the cheerleading team in college. The darker one likes to tell people he was a guest star on Law and Order once, which is technically true, but he only played a dead body, which isn't all that impressive. Stan has seven years of tap and three of jazz training, but that hasn't helped his career nearly as much as he'd been told it would.
Snowman
Snowman's tragic history started with the old admonition to children, "if you keep making that face, it'll freeze like that." Unfortunately, his face actually froze at the most inopportune time possible- just as he walked in on his parents having sex. However, he's never let his gruesome visage interfere with his dream of comic strip stardom. He was discovered by his agent wandering around a gift shop in an Oregon cheese factory.
Pinky
Pinky immediately loses all respect for anyone she sees wearing Beats headphones. Don't be one of those people.
Adolpho
Adolpho got his big break when he was cast as an extra in The Nightmare Before Christmas, but was unable to parlay that into superstardom because of what he claims was a "lazy no-good agent." But he's still repped by the guy, so he can't be too unhappy with him. Adolpho is the sort of jerk who always rolls up a thief character for D&D games and then spends the entire night trying to pickpocket the other players. He also never brings beer or chips.
Todd Spaceman
Fun Fact#1: Todd owns more toothbrushes than teeth. Fun Fact#2: Todd speaks fluent French. Fun Fact#3: Todd cannot stand the smell of dry-erase markers. Fun Fact#4 Todd got out of the draft because he faked a knee injury.
Marjorie and Kenneth
You'd think that Marjorie and Kenneth have an awesome meet-cute story about their first date, but in actually they just met on Tinder. They've talked about children a lot, but they haven't decided which faith to raise them in. Sometimes they like to dress up in their Marti Gras costumes for their photoshoots, which makes them look a lot different.
Austin
Austin grew up in a small town in Texas that he still refers to as a "butthole." He used to play a lot of Call of Duty, but eventually got tired of all the griefers, plus he got a job and couldn't just sit around the house all day. He needs to see the eye doctor, but he can't be bothered to make an appointment. In his opinion, as long as he doesn't drive, who cares if he can see? And he does not earn enough money from his modeling work to afford a car. He has a bus pass though.
Borf
Borf hasn't lived here in a while, and most people think that's a good thing because pretty much everyone thinks he's a jerk. He complains that people just don't understand him, but they do. Borf is the kind of guy who'll order a steak at a restaurant just to annoy the vegetarians at the table. He also rocks out to Scandinavian Death Metal, which, if you've ever seen it, is really pretty cheesy.
The Author
The author of tiny ghosts has tried a number of methods to make people cry over the years- pulling their pigtails, putting spiders in their lunch, waterboarding, and telling them that he loves them when he knows in his heart it isn't true, but he's found that the most effective way by far is by making comic strips to post on the internet.
