The Cast
Frog
Anxious, sensitive and afraid of failure, Frog is…a mess? An unmitigated disaster? The universe’s only hope? It’s hard to say…
In a world overrun with morally disambiguous evil, Frog’s greatest dream is to become the Greatest Monster Fighter to Ever Live…if they can just stay on task long enough to learn the fighting moves.
But what Frog lacks in skill and focus they more than make up for in determination, infectious hope and unconditional love.
Bunny
Charming, confident and generally unbothered, Bunny is cool in the way that flame decals are cool. Everlastingly.
Already successful and accomplished beyond their wildest dreams, Bunny arrived at The Edge of the Universe bored of the world. Until a second chance and a new perspective found them in the form of one determined little frog.
Could Bunny’s effortless exterior be hiding both some deep dark stuff and some ooey gooey stuff? Probably. That sounds like character development.
Bear
Warm, kind and compassionate, Bear is like a much needed hug from someone you love and trust deeply.
A passionate collector and rehabilitator of the universe’s wayward misfits, Bear is the keeper of the lighthouse at The Edge of the Universe.
While Bear seems to know most things about everything and everyone, few know anything about Bear. Like, what did Bear do before the lighthouse? No one dares to ask and Bear has little interest in telling secrets and disturbing their peace. Nowadays, Bear happily spends their retirement gardening, baking, and nurturing the community at The Edge of the Universe.
Duck
Cute, energetic and chaotic, Duck is just a simple baby.
Duck loves delicious treats. Duck loves Sunny days. Duck loves playing with Bunny, Bear and Frog. Duck loves splashing in puddles after a rainy day. Duck loves sneaking into Frog’s room and watching Frog sleep.
And…something about Duck’s stare…the way it lingers too long. It seems to scream an ancient agony.
The Place
The Edge of the Universe
Where do you go when you’ve fallen apart?
Nestled far beyond the boundaries of any place you’ve ever been or dreamed of going, a sleepy seaside town sits in a crescent moon bay. A lighthouse on the cliff beckons the souls of the world’s wayward misfits and the unshakeable ghosts of their failures. Complete with a post office, a choo choo train, an art store and a myriad of other cozy places and characters, The Edge of the Universe is the perfect vacation destination to shake it all off and sort your stuff out.
Frog’s Mixtape
You know, like the kind you make for your crush.
