Gender: Male Personalities: Described as easy-going and somewhat more laid-back compared to his more trigger-happy counterpart, though he frequently gets dragged into chaotic or high-stress situations. Because of a high volume of false reports and missing persons cases swirling around town (linked to Bob Velseb), Captain and Shotgun Man tend to stay cooped up at the station and have grown quite skeptical Dynamic with Shotgun Man: He acts as a grounded or exasperated foil to Shotgun Man's chaotic antics, though the two share a close, frequently paired-up working and personal dynamic that is heavily embraced Works/Roles: police officer who earned his nickname after a promotion Appearance: He has messy black hair and is instantly recognizable by his signature sunglasses, He is depicted wearing his usual dark blue police uniform, without an official badge His height 5'11 to 6'0 feet tall

Gender: Male Personalities: Trigger-happy, impulsive, eccentric, and prone to wild overreactions. He is easily spooked or distracted (such as shooting holes in walls because he thought he saw a spider) and exhibits deeply erratic, meme-worthy, or unhinged behavior. He behaves erratically, laughs hysterically, screams catchphrases like "CHAKA-POW!", and fires his shotgun with zero regard for protocol or safety Dynamic with captain: Their relationship plays on a classic straight-man-and-loose-cannon trope. The Captain tries to manage or scold Shotgun Man's reckless behavior, while Shotgun Man acts a bit unhinged or distracted Works/Roles: A trigger-happy police officer who carries a shotgun Appearance: He is a natural brunette with cheaply bleached, messy curly hair that he cuts into a mullet and typically ties back into a small, low ponytail.

Gender: Male Personalities: Generally upbeat, friendly, and enjoys playful moments with his partner John. Struggles to recognize or understand sarcasm. Suffers from a strong fear of clowns, which causes him to panic and shoot Mr. Clown out of terror. Shows a casual or desensitized attitude toward corpses and violence, sometimes joking around with dead bodies. Prefers his coffee loaded with heavy amounts of sugar. Despite his cheerful exterior, he has the highest on-screen body count Dynamic with John: work together to investigate strange events and local crimes in the town. They often end up in absurd situations—such as driving around with arrested criminals, dancing, or stumbling right into the local cult's plots Works/Roles: deputy police officer Appearance: Messy, spiky black hair and solid black eyes, He wears a standard light-blue button-up police uniform shirt with dark blue trousers His height 6'4 to 6'7 feet tall

Gender: Male Personalities: Unlike his overly goofy partner Jack, John takes his job seriously and approaches bizarre local events with a blunt, rational mindset. He has little patience for pranks, foolishness, or people messing with him while he is trying to work. Despite his rough exterior, he is genuinely friendly, protective, and forgiving toward Jack whenever his partner messes up or acts childish. His drive to solve the town's mysteries often crosses into extreme stubbornness—such as continuing a dangerous cult investigation even while severely sick. He is heavily fixated on uncovering the secret cult and conspiracies in town, going as far as maintaining a massive investigation stringboard in his house Dynamic with Jake: They play a classic straight-man and goofball dynamic. John does the actual worrying and detective work while Jack backs him up with literal, often over-the-top methods Works/Roles: Detective and sheriff at the local police department Appearance: A dark blue button-up shirt over a black undershirt, brown slacks, a black belt with a gold buckle.

Gender: Male Personalities: He puts on a friendly, charming mask for the public and church leaders, but quickly drops it behind closed doors to reveal a hostile and aggressive demeanor. He has a very low tolerance for excuses, easily losing his patience with police officers or anyone failing to meet his demands. He cares deeply about his status, popularity, and public image, even becoming upset when he finds out he is less popular than an amputee. He is deeply tied to the town's dark underbelly and cult activities (acting knowingly connected to figures like Mr. Clown), hiring shady groups like The Hobomen to destroy buildings while trying to maintain a respectable facade Works/Roles: the corrupt mayor Appearance: A formal dark suit layered over a crisp white collared shirt, paired with a necktie His height 5'7 Feet tall
