Main Protagonists[]
- Billy "Coop Van" Outlaw: He is the main protagonist but is heavily seen as an anti-hero or anti-villain. He is a criminal just like his father but actually has never able to stay in jail for very long. After his biggest break out, his father is placed under experimental rehabilitation and unless he can prove his innocents within a year, his father will be executed along with him. Due to this, he is hostile to just about anyone. He does wonder about his mother but never gets told. His best friend (Buster) is a bunny who does not always treat as a friend. However, he is shown to truthfully care for Buster and Buster accompanies him on his adventures. He also is paired with his next door neighbor, Charlotte Cupid. They are sworn enemies and actually do not like each other. They do not get along at all and actually try to find ways to insult one another. They only work together because they are forced to. Billy seems to be the cause of most of the mishaps or villains they run into as he has a sharp tongue, he is arrogant, loathful, egotistical, self-centered, annoying, active, sneaky, antagonistic, smart alec and hates almost anyone he meets. As the series goes on, his relationship with Charlotte goes from sworn enemies to friendly rivals and then they realize their love for one another and become a couple in the finale episode.
- Buster Rabbit: He is a accident-prone rabbit and is the best friend of Billy. Although he sometimes does not treat him like a real friend, Billy actually does care for Buster and vice versa. Buster accompanies him on his adventures to get the proof. In terms of interactions, Buster was on neutral terms with both Billy & Charlotte for the first 2 seasons. However, he seemed to be more over on Billy's side, due to knowing him longer. However, he gets closer to them both as the series goes on.
- Charlotte Cupid: Despite Cupid being her last name and representing the god of love, Charlotte is far from it. She is actually a self-absorbed, posing, trickster that is also somewhat spoiled and bratty. When she gets really mad or maniacal, she gets the Devil's Look and does something devious. She is the sworn enemy of Billy and hates him with all her guts. She only travels with him because she has to. However as the series goes on, she grows to love Billy and actually developes a deep fondness for him.
