Yakman
Saint or sucker, only his hairdresser knows for sure. While not quite one taco short of a combination plate, brains are not at the top of this yak's menu. No sweat. Yakman compensates with loads of muscle, courage, integrity and passion for justice and fair play. Apart from skating like a bat out of hell, Yakman's principal "thang" is his "Substantial Oliver," a skating manuever learned from his figure skating champion mother (Yakima) and perfected by her kid. Yakman's day job, when he can work, is that of disc jockey at station KYAK.

Elke
Great skater and community organizer, Elke fills in for some of Yakman's intellectual shortfalls and impracticalities. Elke has earned the academic degrees that have managed to elude her true love. While also loaded with courage, integrity, etc., Elke is more timid (and some would say "sensible") about it than her main squeeze whose body she abuses mercilessly in her quest for sexual nirvana.

Scooter
Kid yak, budding speed skater, curious, creative, inventive, always poking his nose where he doesn't belong, Scooter idolizes Yakman whom he rarely lets out of his sight.

Bill Brother
Evil incarnate owner of HardlySoft, monster mediocre software company with every capacity and intention of owning the world, both this world and that world. Casual in dress and manner, there is nothing casual about his global gluttony for which Yakman naively arrested him, incurring his terrible wrath.

Dr. Deducto
Born into a comfortable home in Goosteppe, this brilliant but shy, awkward duckling, roundly rejected by his peers, developed an intense need to belong--to anything at all. While academic excellence never quite compensated for social failure, it did provide a home among those also seeking to belong--to the "higher order." Immersed in designing weaponry of mass destruction (and finding it difficult to pass a flag without a salute), our increasingly isolated and friendless duck came to resent anyone with friends or ethics. Yakman, of course, has both in abundance. Deducto is therefore easily recruited into "somebody's" plot to destroy Yakman with his grenade of yaktonite and substantial oliver oil.

Eddy Toupee
Very fast, vain and greedy skater with a line of designer shades and no integrity. He is easily recruited into the conspiracy to destroy Yakman.

Xelina Bean
Cool, hip-hop, straight-shooting reporter for both the Internet and radio KYAK, Xelina much admires Yakman for his integrity and dedication on and off the air.

BOB
Bill Brother's dirty work henchman.

Yakmia
Yakman's four-time gold medalist figure skating mom; so famous she had a city named after her. Retired now, Yakima, is Yakman's conscience and role-model.

Dick Lexsic
Repeatedly rescued by Yakman, this pathetic, down-and-out, alcoholic hobo buddy always lets him down and picks up the bottle. Dick would do anything in the world for Yakman--if he could only talk and see straight!

Claire Voyant
Elke's fortune-telling herbalist buddy.
