'''[[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_(species)|wolf]]. Very sarcastic, cynical, and sadistic. Despite a general loathing of everyone, he is frequently found with a wide variety of sexual partners. It has been revealed that Joel is, somehow, a representative of Death, and has been manipulating a few of the major events in the comic for goals that have yet to be revealed. He has attempted to kill Tim the pastor, and Artie many times in a Grim Reaper-like form. His brother is the head of a major company that Joel has orchestrated the downfall for. It is also suggested that he has romantic feelings towards Matt, as well as feelings of regret and affection towards Roland. Recently, it has been revealed that Joel's twin sister, Miranda, has been the one manipulating everyone, including Joel. It is implied that she died while young, and somehow, Miranda has been manipulating her brother.
* '''Matt Gein''' - Male, brown striped [[cat]]. Very innocent and not too bright, Matt is the newest member of the concession stand staff. He is very firm in his Christian beliefs, and takes everything with a sunny optimism. It is very strongly suggested that he is gay, having made out with Aaron after being stranded at his house. It is also hinted that he has a, somewhat, shared romantic feeling towards Joel, though it has not been stated outright.
* '''Angie Jansen''' - [[Female]] [[dinosaur]]. Thonnen's cousin. She is flirtatious and outgoing, though not very bright. She has no reservations on sharing partners, or tricking people, even attempting to sleep with Roland by acting like Thonnen.

* '''Artie Crowley''' - Male, white [[mouse]]. Artie is the stand supervisor and has rule over the other characters. He has brain cancer which had been in remission, but has currently started to reform in his brain. While it is a miracle that he is still alive, he has lapses in reality where he looses track of what he has done, leading to a sexual encounter with Chelsie, a hypersexual young boy left at the movie theater. He struck up a relationship with Kate, but broke up with her violently when she revealed her pedophillic nature. He has recently cut and dyed his hair red.
* '''David Innitou''' - Male [[Giant_Panda|panda]]. He is the manager of the concession stand. A very short, irate old man, David is constantly running the insane antics of the concession stand. He tends to be very hypocritical in his line of logic.
* '''Rick Ribeiro''' - Male [[Wikipedia:Ring-tailed Lemur|ring-tailed lemur]]. Angie's boyfriend, and Joel's close friend and drug dealer. He has a very close relationship with his sister, whom he loves, yet constantly berates, often in retaliation for an insult directed at him. As it turns out, Rick and Kate both of had an incestuous relationship that both Joel and Angie know about, but have kept on the down low.
* '''Kate Ribeiro''' - Female ring-tailed lemur. Rick's sister, who lives with him and their father. Kate is very close to her brother, often giving him displays of affection. She is a pedophile, and has a job as a baby sitter, which she uses to find new children to sleep with. The children she has in her circle, though, all appear to be hypersexual, and are all, more or less, willing to go with her.
* '''Kelly den Adel''' - Female [[zebra]]. The Box Office attendant. Reserved and laid back, for the most part, Kelly is often the voice of reason, if Artie can't be. She is a lesbian, and currently dating a fox girl named Emily, whom she met on a train.
* '''Roland le Fay''' - Male [[Wikipedia:Pangolin|pangolin]]. An art major, the clerk at an art gallery, and Joel's roommate.

He was dating Thonnen for a long time, even after her rape and impregnation, however was dumped close to the laying of her egg. He is gay for Joel, frequently sleeping with him when the mood strikes either of them. Otherwise, he is straight. He is one of few people Joel feels close to, the shoulder Roland cried on after being dumped by Thonnen.
* '''Thonnen Turunen''' - Female dinosaur. Angie's cousin. Thonnen is the last of the Turunen's true bloodline, a role which she doesn't seem to interested in conforming to. She was raped one night, by order of her grandmother, the new leader of the Jansen Tribe after her greatgrandmother died. She has decided to keep the egg, but broke up with Roland, whom she had been dating for the longest time, the longest relationship in the comic's timeline.

He returned months later in a strip that revealed Joel's [[Bisexual|bisexuality]]. Very cunning and scheming, he always has a plan on his mind. He had planned on sleeping with Matt when he took him in for the night, but was ultimately thwarted by Joel. Despite this, though, Joel and Nicole still seem to be friends, the wolf, every so often, sleeping over at his house. The name "Nicole" was actually given to him by a friend/rival in high school, who had used then name to insult his lack of masculinity, only for him to adopt the name in revenge.

*'''Miranda Calley''' - [[Female]], black [[Wolf_(species)|wolf]]. Joel's twin sister who died while young.

== 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 [[Wikipedia:Excel|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 also used for [[Furthia High]].
