| Jerald | ?? |  | Jerald is a powerful gnome mage, who has helped Mike P several times in the past. While he often seems aloof, he always has a keen grasp of the situation and how to resolve it. Recently, he was shown to able to see entities such as the Stupid. Like Cruton, he does not live at the Resort. First Appearance |
| Ethan Crane | ?? |  | The only thing known about Ethan Crane's past is that he supposedly worked with a carnival. The destruction of the A-Hole somehow placed him underneath Mike P's Resort, and Ethan is none too happy about that. Ethan enjoys watching television, but will resort to fisticuffs if he needs to. It was during such a skirmish that he shattered Double O's sword the first time. First Appearance

| Double O | ?? |  | Double O has a past with Mike P, and emerged from a magic cube with revenge on his mind. Despite this, he seems to be a valiant soul. Recently, he fell under the thrall of the Stupid when his sword was broken, mended, and re-broken. First Appearance

PC/MS
| Character | Age | Appearance | Bio/description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metallic Spheroid | ?? |  | Metallic Spheroid is what his name suggests: a spheroid composed of a metallic substance. He exists, most likely, in cyberspace and has some sort of link to Mike P's world. Spheroid is also rather arrogant, and prone to shouting words. Spheroid is a bit of a fanboy. He curses in binary. First Appearance |

MINOR CHARACTERS
- Shizamablock appeared out of nowhere and shouted his name, leading Cube and Spheroid to believe their lives would be harder. At some point later, he hosted a barbeque for everyone utilizing a platypus and ostrich he found. He showed no remorse about this, but seemed to think the two animals were errant Pokemon. First Appearance
- Papery Pyramid confronted Spheroid and talked at him. He seemingly has a history of doing so, as the repeated occurences have caused Spheroid to be filled with mens rea (criminal intent). Pyramid is also employed, and until recently had a pet ostrich. First Appearance
OTHER
| Character | Age | Appearance | Bio/description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deity Guy | ?? |  | The only thing anyone knows about Deity Guy is that he likes to watch, and has either great power or the ability to lie very well. He was first called "Deity Guy" in the "Big Fat Thanks" storyline, and has taken the name as his own. Deity Guy hosts an annual New Year's Eve party for his small group of acquaintances, which never turn out well. First Appearance |
