Rigby

Rigby is a 23 year old raccoon who was born in 1987. He is the main protagonist and sometimes deuteragonist of the series. He debuted in the original Pilot episode, working as a groundskeeper of the park. He is voiced by William Salyers. Although Rigby is 23 years old like his best friend Mordecai, he acts like a child and a wild teenager.

Appearance
Rigby appears as a raccoon with short brown and spiky hair. He has black rings around his eyes just like a real raccoon usually would.

Personality and Traits
Rigby appears to be very fast, acrobatic, and sneaky. He's a lot faster than Mordecai, as he managed to outrun him. However, he isn't very strong as he is always beaten by Mordecai in a game called "punchies", demonstrated in Death Punchies. He had lost to Mordecai, Muscle Man, Pops, & Skips (who sent him to the hospital with left fractured butt cheek) in said game. He is, although, good at Rock, Paper, Scissors as he beats Mordecai almost every time at it. He later managed to get revenge on almost everyone ( and also some random bystanders) by mastering "The Death Punch of Death" from the art of Death Kwon Do. Mordecai was able to escape Rigby's revenge. He seems to have gotten a little bit stronger in "Meat Your Maker," in which he carries Mordecai's body when he was unconscious due to Rigby having broken the thermostat in the meat locker. Rigby also demonstrated quick-thinking in the episode "Meat Your Maker", when spraying the hotdogs with mustard after he realized that the evil hotdogs enjoyed the taste.

Due to his somewhat immature nature, Rigby is prone to overly dramatic reactions to the simplest of events. Often, these reactions are characterized by his "Shark Face" expression, in which he raises both arms above his head, and turns his nose upwards, causing his eyes to appear to move to either side of his head, somewhat resembling a shark; and his signature "STOP TALKING!" whenever somebody lectures him.

Skills & Abilities
Rigby has shown a variety of abilities throughout the series:


 * Video Games-Rigby is usually on and off at video games. In "Just Set Up the Chairs" He button mashes through an entire vintage of arcade games and failed at each game, However defeated Destroyer of Worlds using this tactic. In It's Time, he beat Mordecai in a random video game while taunting him about his date with Margaret. In "My Mom", he is seen playing arcade games with Muscle Man, High-Five Ghost and Mordecai as he seems to have gotten better. For further proof, In High Score, Rigby showed Mordecai how to excel at "Broken Bonez", but he started to be bad at video games again in "Brain Eraser", but eventually in Jinx he regained his touch when he beat Mordecai in another random video game but lost it again in "A Bunch of Baby Ducks".

This could be the fact that Rigby is nocturnal.

Mordecai
Rigby and Mordecai have been best friends since childhood, (ex. Don), and went to Junior High School together. They are constantly getting into trouble together. However, they have been known to fight once in a while (ex. Death Punchies, The Unicorns Have Got to Go, Do Me a Solid), eventually making up in the end, often because they would otherwise perish or allow others to. They slack off, but tend to do work together to prove that they are hard working (ex. Appreciation Day). The duo also have lots in common such as snacking on food like chocolate cake, playing video games, and bowling (ex. Brain Eraser). They both refer each other as "dude", and, though slightly less commonly, "bro" and share the same catchphrase, "hmm-hmm". He sometimes teases Mordecai about his crush on Margaret. Sometimes he will get punched by Mordecai if he does something wrong or stupid.

However, Mordecai can be guilty of causing hardship for Rigby due to his egotistical ways, even though Rigby can sometimes bring it upon himself. Rigby can be egocentric towards Mordecai, in "The Unicorns Have Got To Go", he betrayed Mordecai when he ganged up with the unicorns. In "Meat Your Maker" he got himself and Mordecai trapped in the meat locker and broke the thermostate.The cold temperature would cause Mordecai to go unconscious. In many episodes (Brain Eraser, Muscle Woman) Rigby assists Mordecai in getting rid of a problem, usually trying multiple things before he finally gets Mordecai's problem solved. Rigby relies on Mordecai for help when he creates a situation; the majority of the time Mordecai with the help of Skips, saves the park. Despite conflicts, they still share a strong friendship, which is the basis for resolving many conflicts in-show.

Pops
Pops is very fond of Rigby, although both Mordecai and Rigby considers Pops to be oddball, usually taking advantage of him, mostly because of his naive and gentle nature. However he does have respect for Pops, Mordecai and Rigby helped Pops get over his fear of speeches, although he desecrated his face with a marker (which he claims that it's a nervous habit). He, as of "Really Real Wrestling", has a much greater respect do to the fact that he learned that Pops knows wrestling and that Pops took them to a wrestling event.

Skips
Rigby appears to have great respect for Skips, because Skips usually helps Rigby and Mordecai when they cause havoc. In " Over The Top", Rigby is killed by Skips in a accident for pranking and bullying him. He is resurrected by Death; Rigby never "bullys" again. It is unknown whether Mordecai and the others will hold a deep grudge against him forever; Mordecai didn't know it was an accident.

Benson
Rigby appears to dislike Benson the same way Mordecai does. The relationship between the two is a bit strained as Rigby and Mordecai consistently slack off from their work. Benson is often easily annoyed by the two and doesn't trust them to get their jobs done, as shown by his hostile attitude towards the duo. The relationship, though, is common between boss and employee, especially one as lazy as Rigby. Benson has a lot of problems with them, calling them a "general waste of time, energy, and space"(Appreciation Day). Benson, Mordecai, and Rigby would later hang out it "Benson Be Gone" and Rigby would seem to genuinely enjoy Benson's company.

Muscle Man & High-Five Ghost
Rigby dislikes both Muscle Man and High Five Ghost. However in "My Mom", he witnessed him being friends with other people, and he started to consider him to have some decency. After hanging with him, he started to warm up to his odd sense of humor, but this later dissolved after Muscle Man and his brother pranked him and Mordecai hardcore. In Rage Against the TV, they both briefly fought, but ended up working together in attempted to make the TV work in order to beat The Hammer.

Margaret
Rigby is fond of Margaret, but does not consider himself to be attracted to her, probably because of his immature attitude. He did have a date with her only to taunt Mordecai.

Eileen
As shown in "Do Me A Solid", Eileen has a crush on Rigby, which he disproves throughout the episode. He does respect her in a few scenes, though (ex. giving her popcorn in the "Fat Heat" scene). After Mordecai talked to Margaret in the Golfing scene, Eileen says she is a sea turtle who just laid eggs, and some of her hatchlings would not make it to the ocean. After that it was a long, awkward silence.

Don
Rigby had a conflict with his younger brother, Don, out of jealousy because on a flashback where on Rigby's sixth birthday, and everybody thinks Don is cooler then him and people think he is the older when actually Rigby is, but however, at the end of the episode, the conflict is resolved.
