Characters
Characters
• Main characters • Todd: A happy go-lucky young man who doesn't take life seriously, known for wearing a green hoodie. • Tomo: The "Todd from tomorrow", with unkempt hair and stubble on his face.

Having the power to age anything up, he can control his blanket as if a hand, with how he is raised for the day impacting the personalities of the others in their shared present. • Time Rebellion • Sophie: Todd's red-wearing girlfriend and a member of the Time Rebellion. • E6 and F5: Former members of the Time Council-turned-Time Rebellion members in a Todd-Tomo situation who are dating each other, much to Oldie's discomfort. • Chisel Dangerma: The leader of the Time Rebellion. • The Purple-haired-girl: The Time Rebellion's "tech-whizz". • Sarge: A high-ranking member of Time City and Sophie's adoptive father. • Supporting characters • Davian: The leader of the time-policing Time Bureau, who infiltrates the past. • Professor Fixit: Todd's ex-boss and ex-employee and a gay paranormal investigator. • Hattie: Todd's and Tomo's chaotic ex-girlfriend and a pink-wearing scam artist. • Lex Winsmore: Todd's uncle, who operated as the superhero Mechoneko. • Bernard: An overweight blogger and Fixit's nemesis.
