Introduced in ''The Lego Movie'' and ''The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part''

Emmet Brickowski

Emmet Joseph Brickowski is the main protagonist of The Lego Movie. He is a construction worker chosen to find the Piece of Resistance to save the Lego worlds as "The Special" and stop the evil Lord Business. He wears an orange construction vest with a blue shirt underneath.
In the second film, he appears exactly the same, except his outfit is all ripped out, he maintains his livelihood and is unaffected by the aftermath of the Duplo invasion unlike everyone else in Bricksburg. After Lucy and his friends were captured by General Mayhem for a ceremony, Emmet uses his Master Builder skills to transform his house into a spaceship in order to save them. Through his travels, he meets a space adventurer named Radical Emmet Xtreme "Rex" Dangervest, a so-called "Master Breaker", who helps Builder Emmet rescue his friends. Breaker Emmet also teaches Builder Emmet how to be tough like him.
Upon destroying the ceremony, it is revealed that Rex is actually Emmet from an alternate timeline who became bitter for being abandoned, and went back in time to convert Emmet into himself and cause "Armamageddon". Breaker Emmet then sends Builder Emmet under a dryer to complete his transformation, but Builder Emmet resists, with the help of Lucy and the rest of Apocalypseburg and Systar System. Rex is erased from existence and Emmet and Lucy reunite to create their new home of "Syspocalypstar".

Lucy

Lucy / Wyldstyle is a female Master Builder who rescues Emmet from the Melting Chamber, she wears a black jacket with pink and blue paint lines. She previously was Batman's girlfriend; however, after Emmet saves the world, she leaves Batman and becomes Emmet's new girlfriend.
In the second film, Lucy inadvertently provokes the transition from Bricksburg to Apocalypseburg. In the five years that had passed, she lost all hope things can still be awesome after Taco Tuesday. However, a cheery Emmet always buys her and himself two overpriced coffees every morning and meets up with her. Then, he shows her around a dream house he built. However, she wants Emmet to be tough like everyone else. Sweet Mayhem arrives and abducts her along with Batman, Benny, MetalBeard, and Unikitty. They are taken to the Systar System ruled by Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi. Lucy resists while the others are tempted into staying. She escapes and meets up with Emmet and rugged adventurer Rex Dangervest. They crash a wedding between Wa'Nabi and Batman. Mayhem reveals that Benny, MetalBeard, Batman and Unikitty were not brainwashed and the Systar System was not evil- and it becomes clear Rex is the real bad guy. Rex manipulates Emmet into thinking Lucy is brainwashed while she tries to open her heart to him by exposing her true self and regretting for asking Emmet to change. He causes Armamageddon. Eventually, everyone escapes and Lucy saves Emmet from his fate on Undar in the Dryar System. Since Rex is a future Emmet who got stuck on Undar for years, and Lucy saves him, Rex ceases to exist. She reconstructs the dream house and reveals to Emmet she wasn't always dark and brooding. She was once a girly-girl with colorful hair and had exactly the same personality as Emmet. In addition, she was an artist behind Emmet's favorite song "Everything Is Awesome", much to Emmet's surprise.
In Lego Dimensions, Wyldstyle teams up with the "real" Lego Batman and Gandalf to save the other dimensions from Lord Vortech.

Lord Business

President Business / Lord Business is the main antagonist of The Lego Movie. He is the president of the Octan Corporation and the Lego World. When President Business is not doing his job as a president, he is a despicable villain named Lord Business who wants to freeze the Lego World with Kragle, because he finds the Master Builders' creations combined with his too confusing. In his Lord Business form, President Business wears a fire-spurting helmet, a long cape, and extending leg attachments that light up in the middle. With some persuasion from Emmet, Lord Business caps the Kragle and makes amends by spreading the antidote for Kragle. Lord Business was also present when aliens from the planet Duplo show up to destroy everyone.
Lord Business appears as a boss in Lego Dimensions in the second level "Meltdown at Sector 7-G", and is one of the many villains hired by the main antagonist Lord Vortech. After Batman, Wyldstyle and Gandalf leave The Wizard of Oz's world, they're sucked into Springfield from The Simpsons. When they make it there however, Lord Business's Micro Managers and Robo SWAT are attacking the city while Lord Business tries getting to the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant to obtain the relic of the Inanimate Carbon Rod, which in the Lego multiverse is one of the 15 Foundation Elements, while his Micro Managers kidnap Homer Simpson. He is defeated by the heroes, but gets away with the Inanimate Carbon Rod.
Lord Business has a minor role in The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. After the Duplo Invasion, Business flees Bricksburg to play golf and isn't seen again until the end of the film where his hair is accidentally set alight by Benny and he falls into a firework store.
In The Lego Movie 2 Videogame, Business initially returns to his former reputation to take over Bricksburg, but changes his heart again when his robots program themselves to go against him.

Batman

Bruce Wayne / Batman is a DC Comics superhero from Gotham City. Batman is a secondary character in The Lego Movie and the main protagonist of The Lego Batman Movie. This version of the character parodies and satirizes his original comic book incarnation, portraying many of the character's darker aspects humorously to the point where he comes off as arrogant, selfish, sarcastic, and somewhat immature. He is also the author of an original yet unintentionally comical heavy metal song inspired by his life entitled "Untitled Self Portrait".
In The Lego Movie, he is a Master Builder and Wyldstyle's boyfriend, who helps Emmet save the Lego World. In the end, Batman gives Wyldstyle his blessing to be Emmet's girlfriend, calling him "the hero you deserve".
In Lego Dimensions, there are two types of Batman: The Lego Movie Batman, as Lucy's ex-boyfriend, and another Lego Batman described as the "real" Batman, whose personality is more comic book-accurate. In the game's first cutscene, when the two Batmans meet each other, they have a brief argument about who is the real Batman before the real Batman takes Lucy with him to save the multiverse. When the Lego Batman Movie Story Pack came out, the Lego Movie version of Batman becomes a playable character in all six The Lego Batman Movie levels and could be played permanently if the player obtains The Lego Batman Movie World's Red Brick, "Always Batman".
In The Lego Batman Movie, as the main protagonist, teams up with his adopted son [|Richard "Dick" Grayson], his butler [|Alfred] and the new Commissioner of Gotham City [|Barbara Gordon] to stop his greatest nemesis [|Joker].
In The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, he develops a crush on Queen Watevra Wa-Nabi after being among those abducted by General Sweet Mayhem and decides to take her hand in marriage even though he has no interest of being a husband at first.

MetalBeard

MetalBeard is a large, bionic makeshift, robot pirate and a member of the Master Builders. His appearances are not accurate to the Lego sets such as MetalBeard's Duel and MetalBeard's Sea Cow.
MetalBeard originally had a normal pirate body, which he lost in a mission to the Octan Tower, save for his vital organs, presumed to have been preserved in his current body. He later rescued Emmet, Wyldstyle, Batman, Vitruvius, Princess Unikitty and Benny after the destruction of Unikitty's kingdom, Cloud Cuckoo Land.
In The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, it is shown MetalBeard can transform into other forms, including a bike and a laser cannon, to fight off the Duplo Invasion. After the Duplo Invasion, his body was destroyed and he has to use his treasure chest to move around. However, at the end of the film, his body was rebuilt from some instruments.
In Lego Dimensions, MetalBeard was pulled into a vortex and captured by Lord Vortech as he had one of the twelve Foundation Elements. His body later becomes part of Vortech's minion, the Tri.

Princess Unikitty

Unikitty is a half unicorn and half anime kitten and a Master Builder who rules a secret sky location called Cloud Cuckoo Land, where there are no rules or unhappy things. She is energetic and tries to remain positive no matter the situation but sometimes gives way to anger, transforming into a monstrous red and orange version of herself to fight back against enemies.
She is first seen welcoming Emmet, Wyldstyle, Vitruvius and Batman to Cloud Cuckoo Land and attending the meeting of the Master Builders, joining the trio in their quest to save the Lego World after her home is destroyed.
In 2017, Unikitty was given a spinoff TV series of the same name, produced for Cartoon Network. In this show, Princess Unikitty is the ruler of the Unikingdom and has a little brother named Prince Puppycorn.
She makes a silent cameo appearance in The Lego Ninjago Movie.
In The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, Unikitty is shown to be Emmet and Lucy's pet cat and is shown to grow to a full-sized version of herself called Ultrakatty due to holding on to her rage from the Duplo invasion. Unikitty is captured along with Lucy, Batman, Benny and MetalBeard. During Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi's musical number, Unikitty asks what the Queen would do for her, getting excited when promised "glitter times that by infinity!". She then appears as "Disco Kitty" after exposure to the "Catchy Song", encouraging Lucy to "join the party". Unikitty, along with Benny and MetalBeard, were Batman's best men at his and Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi's wedding. During the wedding and after Sweet Mayhem explained to Lucy that Systar System isn't evil and wanted peace, Lucy asked if Unikitty, Benny, and MetalBeard are brainwashed, Unikitty responds: "Brainwashed? No! We're just happy. It's so much more fun here.". When Unikitty, Benny, and MetalBeard finally meet Emmet again, they along with Lucy try to stop Emmet from destroying the wedding altar. After Emmet destroyed the altar, the Systarians, including Unikitty, Benny, and MetalBeard cried in response to the destruction.
