*Samuel "Squid" Dullard- a mild-mannered nerdy type. The N on his shirt originally meant New York, where he was supposed to be from. Late in the show's development, his origins were changed to Kansas, but without his shirt being changed. He knows taekwondo, which makes him a superstar goalie.
*Regina "Reggie" Rocket- Otto's older sister who publishes The Zine, an extreme sports magazine.
