Chode

Captain of the Jupiter 42 and protagonist of the series. He is a purple alien that is street-smart and manipulates the crew to do what he wants. What he desires most in life is money, sex, food, and a better life. He is in a sexual relationship with Six.

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Chode manages to concoct plans to consistently outwit and physically manhandle Darph Bobo and make up sly plans to benefit himself on the fly. However, his perverted tendencies, greed, and all-around incompetence prevent him from getting himself out of the gutter as a smuggler. Every One Has Standards: Chode, while initially excited to watch amateur cave painting porn, isn't into four-legged women, running away with a scream. He even lampshades it: Chode: Well, this is a surprise, apparently I do have standards. Exposed Extraterrestrials: He always walks around naked, but his genitals are not visible. Extreme Libido: Frequently sleeps with Six, but will also go after other attractive humanoid women to sate his lust. The Gambler: One of his vices is his love of gambling. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite his issues, Chode will do the right thing at the end including saving members of his crew in peril (particularly Six and Whip which are the ones he cares the most, or maybe the only ones he cares at all), not rat on them while under torture and saving the universe. Manchild: While it’s never explicitly state how old Chode actually is, he is well beyond high school. However he often acts Whip’s age as he is just as perverted as Whip with an immature view on sex and partying. He was also described as a childish alien by a fortune teller Mean Boss: Chode isn't particularly nice to his crew. He states that the only reason he keeps Gus around, is because he doesn't need to pay him, and intentionally creates a hostile work environment through his constant verbal bouts with T'nuk. Meaningful Name: His name is a slang term for the perineum, a space between the testicles and anus, befitting of his crude attitude. In addition, his name can also refer to a small penis, which reflects his overcompensating masculinity. Perpetual Poverty: Any money he makes is just spent on his frequent boozing and whoring, or botched missions. Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Chode is in an active relationship with Six. Basically, a short, fat, purple, multi-eyed alien, manages to get with an incredibly hot space babe. Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: He is ugly, crude, disgusting, sarcastic, depraved, and his crew never misses a moment to point it out.
