Your prototypical late 20th century slacker-slob, Fry tries to make the most out of assimilating into 31st century culture. A pizza deliveryman in his "past life," he finds himself working for his distant nephew's Planet Express courier service. He's best friends with Bender and harbors a not-so-secret crush on Leela.

Constantly befuddled research scientist and distant nephew of Fry's. Funds his never-ending array of experiments and inventions with the Planet Express Delivery Company.

Captain of the Planet Express spaceship, the one-eyed Turanga Leela's past is shrouded in mystery. She's a first-rate pilot and martial artist (special move: flying leg kick), though her personal life could use a major boost.

A foul-mouthed booze-swilling kleptomaniac, this robot will do anything for personal profit or inorganic nookie. Officially the Planet Express ship's cook, his original function was bending bars for construction work. Best friends with "meatbag" Fry.
