Homestar Runner is the star of his namesake website and nominally the main character of the series that bears his name.
A terrific athlete with a heart of gold, the no-armed running man is an earnest character with a pure heart and nothing but love for the rest of mankind. His happy-go-lucky nature is marked by frequently oblivious or clueless behavior - an "unbelievably loose grasp on the world around [him]" (as observed by Strong Bad). He is best friends with Pom Pom and in a relationship with Marzipan, often opposed by the treacherous Strong Bad and The Cheat.

The Spracklings are a plural system living in Free Country, USA. Their origin story is dubious and unconfirmed (as well as contradicted and purposely changed every time by each individual alter- the most well known is "we've been here the whole time blowing the balloons for the Pop. Tire flash game.) The host/main fronter is Sprackle, indicated by floppy black hat and hot-pink shirt.
Each alter is color-coded and front is indicated by their shirt color, for visual clarity. Yes, they would technically have to change shirts every time they swap front. No, they don't always remember/want to. If all else fails, their hair has a mind of its own sometimes. Or are they ears..?
This OC was originally designed as just "Sprackle" until we started dragging members of our own system into it. They are also the "main character" of our autobio webcomic, anothersystemcomic (external link to tumblr).
More images featuring Sprackle can be found here (external link to toyhouse).
-- met by chance
-- sprackle fell immediately, homestar fell later
-- sprackle made the first move
----> both had been flirting for ages but were too autistic to tell if it was genuine
-- homestar & marzipan get back together first, then HSR adds sprackle, then HSR adds strong bad
----> marzipan & sprackle: not romantically involved but pretty good friends. she doesn't see other alters too often
----> strong bad & sprackle: not officially involved but have something homoerotic going on; mainly with jax
----> strong bad & homestar: the relationship everyone was the least surprised about. probably dated secretly for a time
----> marzipan & homestar: their on-and-off status is part of the 'toon, for the most part. their relationship improved drastically after coming out
----> strong bad & marzipan: they get on each others nerves but stay much more civil compared to 'toon activities
