Don’t know your “Limozeen” from your “fhqwhgads” (pronouced fə·’hu:·kwə·ga:dz)? Get ready for SBCG4AP Episode 2: Strong Badia the Free with this initiation to the world of Free Country, USA. More after the jump.

Homestar Runner with his girlfriend, Marzipan

Homestar Runner

This armless, affable (if a bit dimwitted) athlete is the star of the site — or used to be, until Strong Bad took over. Still, despite one failed attempt to declare war on Strong Bad, he seems to harbor no grudge, nor even realize that he isn’t the star anymore. He considers himself best friends with everybody, even when they don’t agree. He dates the only girl in Free Country, Marzipan. If he were to pick one word to describe himself, it would be “Fluffy Puff Marshmallows”. Or “Homestar”.

You can't handle his style

Strong Bad

Originally the antagonist of the site, cheating his way to beat Homestar in contests, he eventually broke free of his evil roots and is now considered more of an anti-hero and has become the star of the show. He answers e-mails from fans in an almost weekly segment on the site, and is now the star of his own episodic video game series, Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People. He likes to think of himself as a ladies’ man, and as very cool. There is little evidence to suggest this is true. He hangs out with his brother Strong Mad and his sidekick of an unidentified species, the Cheat.

Homsar, captain of the gravy train.

 
Homsar

Perhaps the most unusual in this very unusual cast of characters is Homsar. Very little is known about him, and he hasn’t been much help, as he has a tendency to speak in sentences that make little to no sense. Regardless, Strong Bad will have to make peace with this odd being if he hopes to take down the Of Town.

The King of Town, and his trusty poopsmith, the Poopsmith

The King of Town (also know as the Of Town)

Don’t be fooled by his crown – his title is largely honorary. He may live in a castle, but he doesn’t have that much power. He was once a slim and trim Prince of Town, but ever since an incident with a lifetime supply of fish sticks, he has eaten anything and everything he can get his hands on, particularly anything with butter in the name. Normally just a minor nuisance, he takes on a more adversarial persona in Strong Badia the Free.

Come back next month when we introduce who to know in SBCG4AP Episode 3: Baddest of the Bands.
