- Background Notes:
- Early Life History: Orphan
- David Lister is an orphan from a working-class city in England, on Earth. While working his passage on the Jupiter Mining Company's ship Red Dwarf, he concealed a pet cat aboard the ship and was sentenced to 18 months in stasis. Unfortunately, while he was in stasis, the ship suffered a drive failure and the crew all died of radiation poisoning. 3 million years later, the radiation died down enough for the now-senile ship's computer, Holly, to awaken him. To keep him from going crazy, Holly provided a holographic companion patterned on his dead bunkmate, Arnold Judas Rimmer. Rimmer and Lister despise one another. Lister's other companions include the Cat, a humanoid creature descended from Frankenstein, Lister's pet cat, who was pregnant when Lister went into stasis and had nested in a cargo hold far enough away from the drive to avoid radiation poisoning; and Kryten, a domestic mechanoid who they rescued from a crashed ship.
Unknown to Lister, his parents were Kristine Kochanski (an alternate universe version of a ship's officer Lister had a crush on), and Lister himself...

- Dave Lister is a mixed-heritage Human with African features predominating. He speaks with a pronounced working-class Liverpool accent. He is of average height, and is slightly overweight. He wears his hair short, except for a bunch of scraggly dreadlocks in back. He is often unshaved, and generally wears soiled clothing, including a curry-stained tee-shirt, combat pants, scuffed work boots, a leather jacket and a leather cap with a collection of metal pins on it.
He is a shiftless, lazy ne'er-do-well. His favourite activities are getting drunk, eating vindaloo (an extremely hot variety of Indian curry), watching old movies or playing virtual reality role-playing games, and avoiding anything which smacks of work. He smokes, he belches and he scratches himself in public.
