Irritability (webcomic) - Characters

Characters

None of the main characters could really be called heroes, in fact, most of them display a blatant disregard for the well-being of others or even themselves. (Beireia: "Don't you even have a self-preservation instinct?" Exoth: "I suppress it.")

• Chappy Chappy - A super-strong idiot with pyrokinesis. Chappy finds thinking inconvenient, and would much rather stab and/or burn things. He has lived in the Banana House ever since his roommate kicked him out for turning him into a zombie head on a cart. His weakness is oranges. Prince of Vedica.
  • Special powers: Pyrokinesis; Echolocation; Incredible strength; Can make his sword Vaurmauv appear at will.
• Exoth - An immortal nihilistic evil genius. Exoth has been known to become extremely lazy at times, make terrible puns, and invent absurd things. He's histrionic and narcissistic. He also will throw himself into harm's way to damage his opponent, and it is not uncommon for him to blow up the entire universe. His creations usually turn against him, but his army of Jumbo Crows have thus far remained loyal.
  • Special powers: Ieszen Gedre techniques (see below). Rising Lightning style Vedican martial arts. Can plant a severed arm in the ground and grow a new body; Has an extremely poisonous body; Can survive being cut to pieces, then put himself back together. Immune to dehydration.
• Beireia - An irritable young woman who hates both Chappy and Exoth but regularly deals with them regardless. She lives in the Banana House ever since Exoth blew up her apartment, and works in the Forest of Peril as well as being an active adventurer. One of the most level-headed and sane of the group.
  • Special Powers: Wields a spear that is a form-shifting insect, superhuman strength and toughness.

The Banana family

• Victor Banana - The father (and Chappy's old friend) who usually occupies the role of straight man but is sometimes affected by the weirdness of the strip, and a former adventurer.
  • Special Powers: Banana Beam.
• Ionil Banana - The mother who comforts Victor and tries to keep her house in order despite the efforts of the other characters. She has a horrible memory and often ends up making up stories when asked about things that happened. The third member of Victor and Chappy's old adventuring group.
  • Special Powers: Healing magic
• Tatanya Positronic Banana - The daughter who idolizes Chappy, Exoth, and Beireia and slowly becomes more like them: violent and obsessed with treasure. Mentored by Beireia and likes Robot.
  • Special Powers: Banana Beam, developing superhuman strength

Exoth's minions

• Robot, his assistant, a young punk who is not a robot, who, like Tatanya, is becoming influenced by the weird people he hangs around with, though less so than Tatanya. He is stuck working for Exoth because Exoth saved his life when he was ill and forces him into it. Often has to take care of his lazy mother. Likes Tatanya.
  • Special Powers: Treasure sense. Collapsible crowbar
• Ourorya - Exoth's first student and an assassin. He has telekinetic power and is one of the few minions with a driver's licence. He his bones reinforced with steel needles by Exoth when he was Robot's age, and habitually buries weapons for later use. In charge of treasure collection.
  • Special Powers: Invisible gun, molecular knife; Ieszen Gedre techniques (see below).
• Enne - Exoth's second student. Loves chocolate. Uses her telekinesis to control people's bodies to win arguments. Took Tatanya's rival Adrianna under her wing to adventure through vicariously, as well as to use on missions. In charge of spying and assassination. Also the author of the "Unicorn Princess" series of books.
  • Special Powers: Ieszen Gedre techniques (see below).
• Pendenne - A woman from the future (the year 2033) who never fails to point out how superior the future is to the present.
  • Special Powers: Shrinks instead of starving when she doesn't eat; Hollitzer field sword that can cut anything; Time agent training.
• Head-Leg - A failed experiment of Exoth, who uses him in further experiments, often resulting in Head-Leg's death. There have been many Head-Legs over time, as Exoth must re-clone him every time he dies. Nobody likes Head-Leg, and Exoth in particular seems to enjoy torturing him and depriving him of any joy.
  • Special 'Powers': Retains all memories of past lives and deaths.

Exoth, Ourorya and Enne are masters of the "Ieszen Gedre" martial art, which gives them many mystical abilities. Known abilities include: Telekinetic Power; Superhuman skills at ski-ball, minigolf, and bowling; Surviving a gunshot to the face (by only uses 0.5% of one's neurons to think); Superhuman strength.

Tatanya's Classmates

• Gasoline Girl - A classmate of Tatanya's who often gets caught up in Tatanya's adventures.
• Xcilla - A classmate of Tatanya's who less often gets caught up in Tatanya's adventures. Her parents were mathematicians who couldn't quite agree on her name, so it contains a variable.

Other characters

• Officer Death - A cyborg police officer who attempts to arrest Chappy. Vulnerable to puns.
• Scary Larry - A vampire Exoth met at night school.
• Robot's Mom - Robot's mother, whose name has not been revealed. She and Robot live in a trailer which is parked in Exoth's garage. Very lazy and slovenly, often drunk.

• Shoko Togakushi - A reporter.
• Sheriff Amoeba - A floating amoeba with a sheriff's star. He usually mocks the rest of the characters.

• Polly - Bereia's co-worker at the Office of Peril and Xcilla's sister.

• Velel - Chappy's niece and Exoth's boss. Velel is royalty and currently in charge of Vedica. Velel has pyrokinesis that goes away when she eats icecream. Hates flying. Rarely appears except to criticize the strip's other characters.
• Adrianna Gest - Tatanya Banana's rival and student of Enne. Often sent on morally questionable and occasionally fatal missions by Enne, occasionally resurrected in Exoth's lab, much to the trauma of her mental state. Often works with Robot.
• Alex - A necromancer and employee at the dungeon Chappy runs.
