[[File:Eddsworld main characters.jpg|thumb|left|The main characters of Eddsworld (Clockwise from top: Matt, Edd, Tord, and Tom)]]
''Eddsworld'' centres around the main character Edd and his friends Matt, Tom, and formerly Tord. In most episodes, all are voiced by their real life counterparts, with minor characters being voiced by Gould, or guest YouTubers. The main characters all live in the same house in an unspecified suburban town in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] (addressed as 27 Dirdum Lane, brought up in Hammer and Fail) where most of the episodes take place.

===Main characters===
The main characters are loosely based on their real life counterparts.  This, with exaggerated addictions being a constant theme for each character, along with catchphrases, sets the dynamics between the characters.

* '''Edd''' is the main character of ''Eddsworld''. He wears a green hoodie and/or a T-shirt referencing the British sci-fi sitcom [[Red Dwarf]] (it says "smeg head" on it), has [[brown hair]] and enjoys [[Coca-Cola]], [[bacon]], and making [[pun]]s; much to the annoyance of the other characters. Throughout, Edd is shown to be an optimist and the natural leader of the group. In the episode Space Face, his voice is altered accidentally by Matt by a voice changing laser (in order to explain the change in voice actor, due to [[Edd Gould#Death|EddOriginally voiced by Edd Gould, his voice was replaced by Tim Hautekiet following Gould's passing]]).  in 2012.

* '''Tom''' (voiced by Thomas Ridgewell) is one of Edd’s friends and wears a [[blue]] hoodie or a T-shirt featuring a character from asdf (which is Tom Ridgewell's own YouTube series). He also has dirty blonde [[liberty spikes|spiky hair]], which he refers to as "Steve", and is known for being an alcoholic: his favourite beverage being [[Smirnoff]]. Tom is recognised for having no discernible eyes, but empty [[black]] circles (formerly black [[unibrow]] and full [[white]] circles from Zombeh Attack) in place of them, which does not affect his sight (a reference to lead singer [[2D (fictional musician)|2D]] from [[Gorillaz]]). A running joke is that Tom will regain his eyes, yet somehow lose them before the end of the episode, preferably by some sort of laser. He has a deep hatred of the holiday [[Christmas]], causing him to be an anti-hero or antagonist in holiday specials. Tom is known for exclaiming "Holy ‘Noun’ on a ‘Noun’" when surprised (with noun representing two unrelated, but usually alliterative objects), and is shown to deeply love his [[bass guitar]], which he names Susan. Tom is crazy for kitten shopping and, due to him being half-gibberish, says a lot of crazy things.

* '''Matt''' (voiced by Matt Hargreaves) is Edd’s other friend and wears a [[purple]] hoodie (originally black) with a green [[overcoat]], or a black T-shirt. He has [[red hair|ginger hair]] and a square chin, yet he is known for being an egomaniac and is obsessed with his own looks (sometimes going as far as being sexually attracted to his own appearance) his [[catchphrase]] "Not the face!" is yelled when something threatens him (the catchphrase even saves his, Edd's, and Tom's lives in Space Face Part 2). Matt is often shown to be the least intelligent of the group, and tries to compensate with his other catchphrase: "indubitably" and is allergic to explosions (it is said in the eddisode "Fan Service" that Matt is fatally allergic to dogs, but he is not, as said in the credits,"No Matt is not really allergic to dogs...").

* '''Tord''' (voiced by Tord Larrson) is a former member of the group who wore a black jacket in the first episodes and later wore a [[red]] hoodie or a black tank top. His hair color has changed from a dark brown to a very light brown in his time on the show. He was known for being the most violent character, often the first to pull out firearms when threatened. A running joke was his hatred of the song "[[Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows]]" by [[Lesley Gore]]. He was the only non-British character, as he hailed from [[Norway]], bu(contracted; show full)
*'''Kim and Katya''' are the former neighbours of Edd, Matt, Tom and formerly Tord. They made their first appearance in "The Dudette Next Door." They are a lesbian couple, but in their debut episode, Edd and Tord had a crush on Kim. They reappeared as zombies in "Zombeh Attack 2."

==Comics==
Before his death, Gould had created over 170 comics that appeared on a weekly basis. They are normally four panels long and follow the same plot structure as the episodes with comedy focusing much more on puns and word play. The characters in the comics are almost exclusively Edd, Matt, Tom, and in the earliest comics Tord. Eighty of these comics were collected in a book called Toaster Brains,<ref>{{cite book | author=Gould, Edd | date=27 February 2011 | title=Toaster Brains | publisher=L(contracted; show full)*[http://eddsworld.deviantart.com/ Eddsworld] [[DeviantArt]] Page
