Kale is the only known human left in the world. He was left on the doorstop of a wealthy family as a baby, with no indication of where he came from or how he could possibly exist. The family raised him as their own, choosing to completely homeschool him in fear that the world wouldn't accept him. However, after completing his first year of high school at home, his parents decided he needed to enter the world at some point, and convinced Kale to go to a public high school for the remainder of his education.
Kale is naturally introverted, shy, and, like most humans, afraid of the unfamiliar and unknown. He also tends to act nervous and jumpy, and thinks pessimistically about his current situation and his future. Kale's biggest flaw, however, is that he's a doormat. He lets people walk all over him simply because he fears that if he arouses conflict, his friends will abandon him, leaving him alone in the world. While an unrealistic fear, it has fortunately left him with such good qualities as loyalty, empathy, and reliability.
Kale hopes to become a top computer programmer, having become interested in computers as they allowed him to communicate with others outside his home. Kale also happens to be a bit of a neat freak; it can get a little out of control sometimes, but he tries to limit himself so as not to annoy others.

Bruce is annoyingly extroverted, interacting with anybody who walks past him if he isn't focusing on anything. He's also very spontaneous and maybe just a little off in the head, saying and doing random things usually guided by the first thoughts or feelings that cross his mind, leading to a lot of wild accusations and conclusions on his part. This has led to almost everyone who knows of Bruce not being able to stand the little bastard for more than a few minutes.
Other than that, Bruce is fairly laid-back about such things as punctuality, order, and authority, and is also a bit of a procrastinator, choosing to rush through work at the last minute in order to get back to important matters, like "Why is that fat kid fat?" or "Is there a reason I can't go outside without pants?" Still, despite his flaws and irritating behavior, he manages to rope a few people into being his friend, and he does enjoy being helpful to those who can stand him (for he cherishes them ever so).
Bruce can be considered a bit of a nerd, as well, adding to his unpopularity; he enjoys drawing comics, watching soap operas, and LARPing. Seriously, LARPing. Every Saturday. He hopes to someday become a successful artist, singer, or President of Earth.

Campy likes to spend the majority of his time sleeping in a puddle of his own drool. His ability to sleep is legendary; very little can arouse the rabbit from his incredibly deep slumber, and even when he is returned to the land of the awake, it takes him a few moments to even realize he's not dreaming anymore. When not out like a shattered lightbulb, Campy is very easy-going, calm, and tends to stay in the background.
Campy has been friends with Bruce since early childhood, the fox latching onto the sleepy rabbit, the first person not to tell him to shut up and go away. Ever since then, the two have been great friends; at points, Campy would even entertain Bruce's little schemes and ideas, at least until danger or a chance of getting punished was involved. Campy tries to maintain order and acts as a voice of reason, but usually he is either unaware or unmotivated to actually act.
In his free-time, Campy enjoys writing poetry and song lyrics, and is even currently working on an epic poem. However, whatever he writes tends to not be good enough for him, the rabbit always finding some flaw with it and chucking into a bin already filled with crumpled balls of paper. Despite his perfectionism, he hopes to one day become a famous professional writer, and even has a list of novel ideas at home (with many, many eraser marks).

Ashley fancies herself a leader and a guardian to her friends. She often makes decisions for any group she's a part of, whether or not anybody agrees with her. Ashley has very strong beliefs and opinions; she's very stubborn about them, expecting at least her close friends to agree with her, and if they don't, she'll either ignore their objections or convince them otherwise.
Ashley has taken martial arts classes since she was young, giving her quite a bit of knowledge concerning fighting, discipline, and honor. She is very protective of her loved ones, defending them fearlessly (usually with violence). When Bruce's antics go too far, Ashley is usually the one who saves him from the messes he makes and has done so ever since she found him in the middle of a bunch of fifth graders who he had called Ugly, Fat, and Double-Fat.
Despite her upfront and some might even say scary demeanor, Ashley is still a girl. She has an extensive collection of plush toys, enjoys sewing, and, in the privacy of her locked bedroom, enjoys putting on dresses and looking at herself in her mirror. Of course, she'll deny any accusations that say so, usually backed up with a fist. She hopes to find something where her leadership skills can be appreciated, maybe politics.

Lupin is a standard bully, really. He enjoys controlling those who accept him as a 'friend' and exploiting/beating up those who don't. He expects everyone to follow his orders and lifestyle, confused and infuriated by those who don't. Lupin is fairly violent, perhaps acting on a carnal instinct telling him that acts of strength will retain his dominance and superiority over others (it tends to work). If somebody doesn't fall into this schemata of Lupin's, he'll spend his active time convincing them otherwise, all in an attempt to remain on top.
Perhaps the reason behind his bullying behavior is the fact that Lupin has never felt like he was in control of his life. A rape produced him, his mother and stepfather divorced early in his childhood, and his mother has incredibly-high expectations and demands of him. The wolf figured that if he couldn't control his life, he would spend it controlling others', through whatever means necessary.
Despite his muscular build and athletic appearance, Lupin actually doesn't like playing team sports (he doesn't do well in the team department), but he does somewhat enjoy being on the school's wrestling team. Secretly, he also enjoys cooking and has a small dream of buying and cooking in his own restaurant (and also having a whole team of underlings to do his bidding).

Gus is, simply put, a follower. Submissive, loyal, and obedient without much questioning, Gus will latch onto anybody with a loud and forceful voice. Growing up with six older siblings that constantly bossed him around, he was left almost completely unable to make his own decisions, having literally no experience doing so, and also fearful that making his own choices would and will end in failure. Thus, Gus relies heavily on others to tell him what to do and how to act, grabbing onto whatever behaviors and beliefs the more dominant person has.
Despite his tendency to just be an extension of others, he does have his own personality. Gus is a bit of a dreamer, sometimes falling into fantasies right as people are talking to him (often landing him in trouble). Gus is also fairly exciteable and nervous; it doesn't take much to make this cat jump. He's a bit naive, but he does have a certain way with words that, if he were just more assertive and confident, would probably net him a date.
Gus isn't sure what he's going to do when he graduates. He expects he'll go to college (though for what major he hasn't even begun to think about) and then work under somebody for the rest of his life. Gus tends to enjoy whatever his current leader (usually Lupin) likes to do, but in his free-time he enjoys reading romance novels. He also finds a certain female cat attractive, but his fear of failure and his inability to confront her leaves him only able to pine for her from afar.
