Curly, one of the more frequently recurring ENN characters.

Many characters that appear in the feature stories in ENN are brought back for more episodes. This is a list of the most common recurring fictional characters in ENN. CheckPoint has migrated away from the fictional "feature stories" that were central in ENN, so most of these characters probably will not appear in CheckPoint.

Ryan Quickbender

First Appearance: Lost Leaders

Ryan Quickbender is video games industry analyst. He is often asked to interpret the sometimes inexplicable decisions made by video games developers and publishers. Quickbender is often seen standing next to a BASF FLEXYDISKS poster. He hosts his own segment "Quick's Picks."

Dr. Laura Holly

First Appearance: Nerd Flu

Dr. Laura Holly, UC Berkely, is a medical doctor studying health issues concerning the video game community.
