Biography
Homestar is the star of the show, but he probably doesn't realize it. Ever the butt of jokes and the recipient of nicknames, Homestar is an earnest character with a clean heart and nothing but love for the rest of mankind. Unfortunately, his absolute cluelessness and clumsiness keep him from realizing his full potential. He's not completely stupid, though, and has proven to be remarkably clever in the past, though such occurances are few and far between. You can never be quite sure whether he and Marzipan are going out or not, but he sure seems to think they are. According to the toon Marshmallow's Last Stand, he weighs about one hundred pounds.
Homestar is the star athlete on an unspecified sports team led by Coach Z and keeps it that way via vigorous workouts, as said in SB E-mail dullard. He is also the colonel (which is always pronounced phonetically) of the inactive Homestarmy, while his best friend remains Pom Pom. He has some speech impediments (as he says, he has "twouble with his aw's"), and appears to have short-term memory problems, as he frequently forgets things he has just done or said, (for examples, see the 12th Answering Machine or Homestar Presents: Presents). He also tends to borrow things from (and return things to) Strong Bad, for example, Strong Bad's fondue pot. Though he lacks a visible pair of arms, he is still able to function as though he has them, being able to carry and throw things and even type proficiently. It's generally accepted that either he does have arms, but for reasons that are never explained, they are invisible, or that he has limited telekinetic powers. He frequently uses two-syllable exclamations, like "Hi-Ya!", "High-Ball!", and "Ah-tpoo!".
Although he is often the target of pranks by Strong Bad, Homestar believes that he is friends with Strong Bad and tries to win his favor, often with bad results that Homestar completely misunderstands. As a whole, Homestar seems to be too dim to realize when people are being mean to him, or when he's being mean to other people. He often unintentionally insults his friends or steps on their feelings and is unable to understand their resulting feelings of anger. As Strong Bad put it in email 124, secret recipes, "it's like, even when we win, he wins."
Presently, Homestar works at an unnamed tech company with Strong Bad, but has frequently dabbled in the entertainment industry. He is the host of an obscure game show named "The Show", has co-starred in Dangeresque, sung several hit singles such as "Everybody Knows It", "Bad Jokes", and "Party Party Party", revealed that he is considering a career in male modeling, and also guest starred in an episode of Caleb Rentpayer (in which he shot Caleb).
