Line 2:
=== Jimmy Hopkins ===
* [[Anti-Hero]]:
** [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes]]: Type 3, although how the player controls him could push him up to Type 2 or down to Type 4.
* [[Bully Hunter]]
* [[The Casanova]]: Given that he's able to get the attention of 9 girls by the end of the game, and [[Even the Guys Want Him|six guys too
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Jimmy can explore many ways to take down an opponent, ranging from a simple punch in the face, to using a freaking ''bottle rocket launcher'' to paste someone from a distance.
* [[Cultured Badass]]: Art classes show that Jimmy has a surprising gift for oil painting.
Line 14:
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Kavorka Man]]
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]:
** [[The Snark Knight]]: A rare male example.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: He's probably the second or third fastest kid in Bullsworth.
* [[The Napoleon]]: He's short for his age, which is one of the very many things responsible for his general belligerence.
* [[Pride Before a Fall]]: It's even part of the last story-based chapter: "The Fall and Rise of Jimmy Hopkins, Aged 15".
* {{spoiler|[[Unwitting Pawn]]}}▼
**
▲* [[Redheaded Bully]] / [[Redheaded Hero]]: Depending on how he's played.
=== Gary Smith ===
* [[Big Bad]]: He appears to be the source of the school’s corruption, though it’s implied that Darby’s father plays a role as well.
* [[Big Bad]]▼
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Half way through the first chapter, he excitedly stated that he was off his meds. His behavior implies that he may suffer from Schizophrenia. These two factors plays a role in his [[Draco in Leather Pants]] reputation.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Smug Snake]]
Line 36:
=== Pete Kowalski ===
* [[Ambiguously Gay
* [[Brains and Brawn]]: Brains to Jimmy's Brawn.
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: He really doesn't care for being called Petey, although he's too meek to do anything about it.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: A meta example
* [[Non-Action Guy]]: The closest he comes to doing something action-y was during the boss fight against Johnny Vincent, where he operates an electromagnetic crane... after Jimmy knocks out every single Greaser who was in his way.
* [[Sidekick]]
Line 47:
=== Russell Northrop ===
* [[The Big Guy
* [[Bullfight Boss]]
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: {{spoiler|He's the only clique leader who never turns on Jimmy after being beaten
▲* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: {{spoiler|He's the only clique leader who never turns on Jimmy after being beaten.}}
* [[Dumb Muscle]]
* [[Hulk Speak]]
Line 60 ⟶ 58:
* [[Birds of a Feather]]: She shares Jimmy's love of vandalism and giving people what they have coming to them.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Informed Attribute]]: According to the dialogue files, she's a very good fighter and quite tough for a girl. In the game itself though, all the girls share the same stats, and are the weakest characters by a large margin. Probably justified though, since Zoe couldn't have been programmed to be tough and aggressive without tinkering with the mechanics a lot.▼
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]
▲* [[Informed Attribute]]: According to the dialogue files, she's a very good fighter and quite tough for a girl.

Probably justified though, since Zoe couldn't have been programmed to be tough and aggressive without tinkering with the mechanics a lot.
* [[Tomboy]]
Line 67 ⟶ 65:
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: While he means well, he's completely blind to just about ''everything'' wrong with the school he runs.
* [[Big Bad]]: Subverted, it turns out Gary Smith is the Big Bad.
* [[Born in the Wrong Century]]
* [[Dean Bitterman]]
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: If you can actually get his attention, he does the right thing. Getting it is the hard part though...
Line 85 ⟶ 83:
* [[Ted Baxter]]
=== Troy Miller ===
* [[Closet Key]]: Has one in Russell.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: "EXCUSE ME."
=== Wade Martin ===
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: Not ''intended'', but he can sometimes be seen making out with his sister Christy. This is because the game designers would have had to write special code to make sure they didn't, and they either didn't bother, or didn't realize
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Hot tempered dude with red hair. So, yeah.
Line 102 ⟶ 100:
* [[Can't Live with Them Can't Live Without Them]]: Pretty much how her side of her relationship with Johnny works. She appears to actually have feelings for him despite her cheating habits.
* [[Fille Fatale]]
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Seriously. Blink, and you'll miss hearing it, but she philosophizes about the point of life and humanity.
* [[Really Gets Around]]
=== Norton Williams ===
* [[Gentle Giant]]: Sort of. He still bullies and fights, but he also likes to contemplate poetry and artwork.
* [[Large and In Charge]]: It's unclear whether he or Peanut is the clique's
=== Peanut Romano ===
* [[Compensating for Something]]: His nickname "Peanut" is implied to be a reference to his size... [[Don't Explain the Joke|down there]].
* [[Napoleon Complex]]: He's not even that short, but he's convinced he is, and tends to become irate about it.
* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: According to the slash community, he's Johnny-sexual. To be fair, there's enough subtext in the game to make it plausible.
* [[Wimpification]]: [[Yaoi Fangirl
=== Hal Esposito ===
* [[Big Eater]]:
{{quote|"I'm gonna start up a club, like a Fight Club. [[Dissimile|Only, instead of fighting, we'll eat cheeseburgers
* [[Stout Strength]]: He's tied with Norton for second toughest Greaser (behind Johnny, obviously).
=== Lefty Mancini ===
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]
=== Lucky De Luca ===

Line 124 ⟶ 122:
* [[Heartbroken Badass]]
=== Vance Medici ===
* [[
* [[Pirate]]: His unique costume.
** [[Visual Pun]]: Combine this with his sexuality.
Line 158 ⟶ 156:
* [[Wimpification]]/[[Flanderization]]: Well, there's no trope called [[Gayification]], so the slash fandom's tendency to twist canon and selectively omit bits of it to make Kirby gayer is a combination of those two tropes.
=== Luis Luna ===
Line 167 ⟶ 164:
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[Never My Fault]]: After giving Jimmy the task of sneaking into the girl's dorms and photographing Mandy naked, he blames Jimmy for the resulting attack by the Jocks.
=== Algernon
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Momma's Boy]]
Line 180 ⟶ 177:

'''Jimmy:''' Alright. Enough. WHAT'S MY QUEST?
'''Algernon:''' Ah, right. Salutations, sir James!

* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Subverted; she openly has contempt for the idea of trying.
=== Bucky Pasteur ===
Line 190 ⟶ 187:
* [[Camp Gay]]: Jimmy can seduce him, and he seems to go gaga for boys giving him romantic presents. Talk around the school says he played a dead-on Juliet in the school play.
* [[Expy]]: Some people say they see him as an expy of [[Family Matters|Steve Urkel]].
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: His last name is used once during the game, in an announcement over the PA, and a lot of people, not realizing the game gave him one, use the incorrect soundboard-provided last name
=== Donald Anderson ===
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Well, beware the mild-mannered ones. Donald is the stereotypical rage-filled nerd and he keeps a meticulous list of people who he hates.
=== Fatty Johnson ===
* [[Big Eater]]
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: He calls ''himself'' Fatty, even
* [[The Fat Guy With the Big Lips And Pimply Nose]]
=== Melvin O'Connor ===
Line 211 ⟶ 208:
=== Angie Ng ===
* [[Ambiguously Brown|Ambiguously Asian-ish]]
* [[Meganekko]]
=== Christy Martin ===
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: She's bubbly and friendly. She also talks about setting the school on fire and claims she can use her tie as a garotte.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: She shares the name with a fairly famous female boxer, but this doesn't appear to be anything other than a coincidence.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: She'll make out with anybody. ''[[Brother-Sister Incest|Anybody]]''.
Line 234 ⟶ 230:
* [[Tomboy]]
=== Lance Jackson ===
* [[Straight Man]]: If you think about it, Lance is the most normal character in the entire game. He just has such a minuscule role, it doesn't show much.
=== Melody Adams ===
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: She's the stereotypical unbearable goody-two-shoes.
=== Pedro

Line 251 ⟶ 247:
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Not as much as Mandy, but still...
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]

=== Justin Vandervelde ===
Line 278 ⟶ 273:
=== Tad Spencer ===
* [[Abusive Parents]]: His father beats him, as evidenced by some of the responses he gives in fights. Like most stuff in the game, these are [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood|played for laughs]].
* [[Fake Brit]]:
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: In the game, his name is Spencer. Since common sense dictates the game is the highest level of canon, his name is ''not'' Smith-Althorp Smith, no matter what the website says.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: He wants to make his overbearing father proud.
Line 288 ⟶ 283:
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
=== Omar Romero ===
* [[Blood Knight]]: Nearly every thing that comes out of his mouth is either about fighting, hating Bullworth Academy
