Ollie
Ollie is fiercely proud of being a gull. Don't even think about calling him a duck. He is rarely seen without his little blue cap which doubles as a sea captain and pilot's cap. He got his name from an ankle tag he used to wear. It actually said the number 31770; however, looking at it upside down on his ankle, he read "OLLIE" and the name stuck.

Quentin
Quentin is cute, squishy and almost completely indestructible, which is fortunate considering the perils that confront him every day. Incredibly dexterous, there isn't much he can't do despite having no arms and legs. Quentin is one of hundreds, possibly thousands of siblings. His extended family includes countless uncles and aunts. Unlucky in love, he struggles to get a girlfriend. He has dates, somehow, but they're often failures. He has a lughood sweetheart called Rosie, who he is always trying to impress but sadly she isn't interested.

Nobby
Nobby is an artist and sculptor. He is an affable single guy with enormous patience, who serves as both foil and witness to Ollie and Quentin's mischievous antics. He is often the voice of reason, a calming influence who anchors his roommates' otherwise unbelievable world to our own.

Other minor characters include two mischievous unhatched Eggs, the Evil Mrs. Cadaver who lives next door, a fish called Fish and Quentin's bodyguard, a Venus Fly Trap called Rex.
