James ('Lal')

Not quite as daft as he looks in this picture. But almost. He's usually drunk but works as a mortgage advisor or something equally dull when sober.

Merlin ('Shwing', 'Merkin', 'Shirley'...)

Curly-haired but otherwise bearable. Once snapped his femur after an impressive disagreement with the ground after spiralling a little too low. He lives on a boat and looks at tanks of water for a living.

Rick ('Wick')

Ginger-haired from birth, poor lad. Rick left his investment banking job, went travelling with Merlin and now wants to become a teacher. I pity the kids.. He needs a new jumpsuit after Merlin borrowed his one and then had to have it cut off him by paramedics.

Will ('Big Willy')

Works for an internet company doing geeky internet stuff. He's an irritating pedant with a history of bad landings and making an arse of himself.
