Meelk

Meelk Simons is one of the titular protagonists of the television series Meelk n' Creem. He is voiced by BaconMatthew in a fairly high-pitched English accent. He, along with his best friend and roommate Creem, work as guards in King Iyce Creem's castle in the kingdom of Eten, where all citizens are anthropomorphic dairy products. He is the son of father Awrganik and mother Hoel, and the older brother of 13-year old sister Skeemd.

Character overview
Meelk was born on June 27, 1981 in Eten General Hospital. He is generally portrayed as intelligent, happy-go-lucky and upbeat but has been shown to have a bad side in several episodes. He is one of the few milk characters in the series to not their type of milk in their name, however it has been confirmed in a few episodes that he is semi-skimmed.

Personality
During early development of the series, Meelk was originally going to be the more cynical one with Creem being more upbeat, however BaconMatthew decided against this, believing a cynical attitude would better suit Creem.

Meelk manages to keep a positive attitude towards most things most of the time; he mentions that he has a mindset of "if it's bad, make it good". He is usually the one to push himself and Creem to make decisions, as he is somewhat more impulsive than his friend. However, Meelk has been shown to have a bad side that comes out when he is treated very badly or spoken very rudely too. He becomes a lot angrier and can sometimes be shown to beat up whoever is being negative towards him.

Meelk has shown a large interest in fishing. He frequently goes fishing with his father and has been shown to be skilled in catching big fish. He also enjoys going to theme parks with his mother, who enjoys the thrills. His other hobbies include gaming and art. Many of his traits, including his artisticness and gaming interest, spawn from that of BaconMatthew.

Father
His father, Hoel (also voiced by BaconMatthew), is a loving yet somewhat reckless 42-year old bottle of organic milk. Meelk has a generally good relationship with his father, although it is slightly strained by his father's recklessness.

Mother
His mother, Awrganik (voiced by Tamsin Heatley, is a caring 40-year old woman who is also a thrill-seeker with a wild side. Awrganik was shown to always be there for Meelk during his childhood, and Meelk gets on very well with her.

Sister
Meelk's sister Skeemd (voiced by Joanna Ruiz is 13 years old. In flashback episodes, Meelk had a troubled relationship with his little sister when he was around 6-10, but he later grew to like her. They are shown to frequently keep in touch, and bond well whenever they are together.

Grandparents
On his father's side, Meelk's grandfather Gotes (voiced by Colin McFarlane), a bottle of goat's milk, acted as a mentor to Meelk and died in the season 5 episode "Here Today, Gotes Tomorrow". His kind grandmother, Marjaren (voiced by Eve Karpf), remains alive.

On his mother's side, Meelk's grandfather Wonpersent (also voiced by BaconMatthew) is a bottle of 1% milk who is missing a leg after losing it in the Kingdom Wars. He sits in a wheelchair and is somewhat delusional at times. His grandmother Bree (voiced by Tamsin Heatley) is a piece of brie who is rather mean and enjoys knitting. She is generally disliked by Meelk due to her rudeness.

Others
Meelk's uncle and Awrganik's sister Omlit (also voiced by BaconMatthew) is a news reporter for Eten News. Meelk's cousin on his father's side Foolfat (voiced by Matt Stone), is the antagonist of the episode Meelk Wurld, in whichhe tries to trick Meelk into joining a cult-like group of milks.

Production
Along with Creem, Meelk was one of the first characters designed for the series. He was designed in 1996 in a sketchbook of BaconMatthew's.

BaconMatthew decided to voice the two protagonists himself, stating he "gets the characters, their quirks and mindsets moreso than anyone else".
