List of characters in Concession

Concession features a wide array of different characters, ranging from the 'core' of the cast, featured most often (Joel, Artie, and Matt), to single-appearance customers.

Major characters

 * Joel Calley - Male, black wolf. An anti-hero, very sarcastic, cynical, and sadistic. Described as cold-hearted and bloodthirsty, with a general loathing of everyone, he is nevertheless frequently found with a variety of sexual partners; as of strip #300, he is involved with Matt. Willing to manipulate others to amuse himself or further his own goals, Joel is, somehow, a representative of Death, and is responsible for several major events in the comic. He has attempted to kill Tim the pastor, and Artie many times, as well as causing the downfall of his brother's company. Joel's actions stem in part from his twin sister, Miranda, who died while he was young but somehow survived in spirit form to manipulate her brother.

Despite this, Joel and Nicole still seem to be friends, and the wolf sleeps over at his house every so often.

Non-canon characters

 * Immelmann - Male Wolf/Rabbit hybrid. The author sometimes injects himself into the comic to offer additional commentary, as a literary device (for example, during flashbacks), or to expose facts the characters should be aware of but have not been discussed yet. When featured outside of the comic's universe, Immelmann appears as a human-sized anthropomorphic wolf/rabbit hybrid; however when he is drawn into the comic's continuity itself, he is perceived as a smaller, seemingly non-anthropomorphic hybrid instead. Immelmann act familiarly with the cast, though characters generally regard him with confusion, apprehension, or simply ignore his existence altogether. In the last chapter of Concession, he appears as a hallucination of Clarissa, created by Joel to drive her insane. First Appeared: #11 "'American Airlines Flight 11' or 'Snakes on a Jihad'"
 * Tyras - Male Pikachu. Immelmann's familiar, Tyras will generally appear with Immelmann during commentary to provide an opposing thought or an amusing quip directed towards the author. He has been featured in Concession only twice, once appearing as a human-sized anthropomorphic Pikachu. First Appeared: #11 "'American Airlines Flight 11' or 'Snakes on a Jihad'"then again, nestled against Immelmann, both partially transparent in last comic “The End”.

The Random Character Generator
One of the distinguishing features of Concession is its use of randomly-created furs to serve as customers or nameless passer-bys. Each character has its species, gender, sexuality, and religion rolled for it, and it is described beneath the comic, along with its name and a short bio.

The characters are created using a random-number generator and an Excel spreadsheet, which lists the different types of gender, religion, and species (and, occasionally, sexual orientation) in numbered rows. 8 numbers are generated, 1-100, and are lined up with each column. Five of these numbers are reserved for species, which featured 113 different species, categorized by order and class.

Most randomly-generated characters have only one appearance, occasionally returning for a second appearance, although some are designed with multiple appearances in mind, as in the case of Kane and Tim. Nicole is the major exception - a character intended for a one-shot appearance who has returned to become an important and popular character.

A similar character generator is used for Furthia High.
