Jimmy Hopkins

Gary Smith

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 despite the fact that he uses his real name (Peter) only slightly more often than Jimmy uses his real name (James), a lot of fans refer to him primarily as Peter.
  • 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
  • The Smart Guy

Russell Northrop

Zoe Taylor

  • Birds of a Feather: She shares Jimmy's love of vandalism and giving people what they have coming to them.
  • Fiery Redhead
  • Heroes Want Redheads
  • 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.
  • Tomboy

Dr. Crabblesnitch

Bullies

Davis White

  • Fragile Speedster: Tied with Wade for least-tough kid in the Bullies clique, has a couple different missions where Jimmy has to chase him down.

Ethan Robinson

Tom Gurney

  • Shout-Out: He hates shoes, just like another, more famous Tom.

Trent Northwick

Troy Miller

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... see all the confusion about names.
  • Fiery Redhead: Hot tempered dude with red hair. So, yeah.


Greasers

Johnny Vincent

Lola Lombardi

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 second in command, but it is clear which one of them listens to the other one.

Peanut Romano

Hal Esposito

"I'm gonna start up a club, like a Fight Club. Only, instead of fighting, we'll eat cheeseburgers."

  • Stout Strength: He's tied with Norton for second toughest Greaser (behind Johnny, obviously).

Lefty Mancini

Lucky De Luca

  • Hidden Depths: Looks like just another Greaser. Advocates staying in school, and learning a trade even if you do choose higher education as well.

Ricky Pucino

Vance Medici


Jocks

Ted Thompson

  • Jerk Jock: Not that the others aren't, but Ted is the biggest one.

Mandy Wiles

Damon West

Bo Jackson

Casey Harris

Dan Wilson

  • The Quisling: He was a nerd, then he turned on them to join the Jocks.

Juri Karamazov

Kirby Olsen

  • Armored Closet Gay: Every time he makes out with Jimmy, he threatens him if he tells anybody.
  • Foot Focus: He likes feet. Mostly girls' feet and when they're wearing nice shoes, but... yeah, he just plain likes feet.
  • Unusual Euphemism: A non-double entendre one, he calls bullying and physical beatings "poundcake".
  • 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

Nerds

Earnest Jones

Algernon Papadopoulos

Algernon: Yo, Jimmy, I'm over here! Gimme five, dude!
Jimmy: Ahh, no.
Algernon: Heh, heh... Yeah, well, cat, looks like your homies took care of some lames for us.
Jimmy: What are you talking about?
Algernon: Don't get fresh wit' your homies!
Jimmy: Can you please talk normally?
Algernon: This is my normal style of rapping, bro. Hoo, hoo, hoo!
Jimmy: Alright. Enough. WHAT'S MY QUEST?
Algernon: Ah, right. Salutations, sir James!

Beatrice Trudeau

Bucky Pasteur

  • Just Friends: Beatrice is oblivious to his obvious feelings for her.

Cornelius Johnson

  • Black and Nerdy
  • 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 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 Thomas.

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

Melvin O'Connor

Thad Carlson

  • Carry a Big Stick: Thad's weapon of choice is a yardstick.
  • Covert Pervert: Surprisingly, Thad's found to be the one who's wallpapering Bullworth Town with nude posters of Mandy.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: Apparently, he's one of the key weapons-makers of the Nerds; according to Troy, he built a grenade out of an eraser.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: As well as being a lot more aggressive than most Nerds, Thad reportedly attacked Peanut Romano a year before the game began, hitting him hard enough to break his yardstick over Peanut's head. For good measure, he managed to escape a beating from the Greasers in spite of this.


Non-Clique Students

Angie Ng

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. Anybody.

Constantinos Brakus

Eunice Pound

Gloria Jackson

Gordon Wakefield

Ivan Alexander

Karen Johnson

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

Pedro De La Hoya

Ray Hughes

  • Official Couple: To Eunice, by virtue of being the only boy that is programmed to be seen holding hands with her.

Sheldon Thompson

Trevor Moore

  • Nerd: Subverted. Trevor's humorless and hyper-focused on academic success, but he follows the social norms that the nerds don't.


Preppies

Derby Harrington

Bif Taylor

  • The Dragon: To Derby Harrington
  • Jerk Jock: Most of his dialouge is either about beating people up or about how great a boxer he is

Pinky Gauthier

Bryce Montrose

  • Pride
  • Turns Red: Much stronger if you interrupt him while he's practicing fighting.

Chad Morris

Gord Vendome

  • Camp Bi
  • First Girl Wins: First Guy Wins. Is popular in the fandom for being the first kissable boy who interacts with Jimmy in the storyline, though it is possible to kiss Cornelius before him. Not that many people would.
  • Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Sometimes he lapses from posh English to normal American. No reason for it, he just does, and no one seems to notice.

Justin Vandervelde

Parker Ogilvie

  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: An unusual case, he seems to be a nice guy by nature and has trouble balancing his nice guy impulses with the arrogance that the Preppies demand.
  • Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense: He doesn't understand why he isn't a jerkass like the other Preps, and he doesn't understand why he can't buy a girlfriend.

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 played for laughs.
  • Fake Brit: In-Universe: he admits to speaking a fake British accent because his family is Nouveau Riche.
  • 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.


Townies

Edgar Munsen

Omar Romero

  • Blood Knight: Nearly every thing that comes out of his mouth is either about fighting, hating Bullworth Academy or both.

Clint (a.k.a. Henry)

Clint: A cheeseburger is supposed to have cheese! Dumb broad...

Duncan

  • Amusing Injuries: He claims to have broken his collarbone three times, and he likes having scars because "chicks dig them".
  • Straight Bi

Gurney

Jerry

Jerry: Most people don't even like me because I'm more cleverer than them.

Leon

Otto Tyler

  • Napoleon Complex: A mild one: he's one of the smallest townies but calls everyone "kid".


Prefects

Seth Kolbe

Karl Branting

Edward Seymour II

  • Large Ham: Kneeeeeeeeeeeel before Edward! Ragh!

Max MacTavish

Faculty

Mr. Burton

  • Dirty Old Man: Buys porn, recruits Jimmy to steal girls' panties, gets Zoe expelled because he hit on her and she refused him.
  • Drill Sergeant Nasty
  • Fat Bastard: Despite being a gym teacher, Mr Burton isnt exactly the fittest man on campus.
