Rachel's friend/girlfriend. A sharp tongued punk with a tragic past. Knows something is going on with Rachel, but is too scared to bring it up. It will eventually reach the point where she can't keep silent any longer.
Why look, an otter in my water!
I pledge allegiance to Max and the power for which she stands...
This shit-pit has taken away everyone I've ever loved... I'd like to
drop a bomb on Arcadia Bay and turn it to fucking glass...
Blackwell photography professor. Charming and manipulative. Kidnaps and takes photographs of students. Using Nathan Prescott to enact his plans. Also manipulating Rachel.
I could frame any one of you in a dark corner, and capture you in a moment
of desperation.The slightly unconscious model is often the most open and honest. No
vanity or posing, just... pure expression.Oh, Max! You fucked up my shot!
Being manipulated by Mark Jefferson. Unstable family life. Has a crush on Rachel. Mental state will progressively worsen due to traumatizing events, his behavior with it - more erratic and aggressive.
You don't know who the fuck I am or who you're messing around with!
Don't EVER tell me what to do. I'm so SICK of people trying to control
me!Max, it's... It's Nathan. I just wanted to say... I'm sorry. I didn't
want to hurt Kate or Rachel, or... anybody. Everybody used me.
Arcadia Bay's local drug dealer. Gruff and intimidating exterior, but not a bad guy at heart. He and Rachel are in a relationship. She originally planned to use him for his RV, but now feels guilty about it.
Okay, we're cool for now... but my dog isn't. And if you try any shit, he will bite your head off. He's done it before.
It's hard to take you characters seriously... but I want to. Good luck.
What the fuck are you dorks up to, huh? Trying to break into my
business? This time the price is wrong, skank!
Waitress at the Two Whales Diner. Chloe's mom. Rocky relationship with her daughter, mostly because of David. Unlike him, she likes Rachel.
Call him David if you don't want to be lectured. You only get one damn
slice of bacon today.I need your help. Me. Your mother. We need to get our own house in order.
Nobody's in trouble over a doobie, Max. And I admire that you took the
heat for Chloe... Like a great friend. But Chloe does push David and it's not
fair. He paid his dues in a war.
Ex-soldier. Blackwell Academy security guard. Chloe's step-dad. Does not trust Rachel at all. Hates drugs. Well meant, but often seriously oversteps his boundaries.
Thanks again for defending me, Max. But this is my family now.
That's one of my problems... I'm not good at teamwork. Never was.
So you're bringing drugs into my home. How about if I call the police?
That would screw up your spotless Blackwell record...
Head Vortex Club member. Acts superior and often resorts to bullying/insulting others. Insecure. Hates Rachel, because she is jealous.
Now, why don't you go fuck your selfie?
Louis Daguerre was a French painter who created
"daguerreotypes", a process that gave portraits a sharp reflective
style, like a mirror.I always feel like I have to overcompensate. For what, I have no clue. I'm
only here to become a photographer, not president.
Max is a shy young woman, preferring to observe people from a distance or through the lens of her camera, as opposed to interacting with them face to face. As a result, she keeps largely to herself and has very few friends outside of Warren and Kate at Blackwell Academy.
Ready for the moshpit, Shaka brah.
With great power comes great bullshit.
That is a tasty plasma. Maybe I could sneak in and watch 'Final Fantasy: Spirits Within'. I don't care what anybody says, that's one of the best sci-fi films ever made.
Female Blackwell Academy student, 19. Like a sister to Rachel. Exudes a wise, often cryptic aura and therefore is hard to read. Has a strong mischievous streak.
I know it's confusing right now. When isn't it? But I know you. And I know
that when it comes down to the wire, you'll know what to do. I have faith in
you, Rachel.Rachel. Listen to me. I can't tell you what's right here. Or what's
wrong. In my experience, there's no such thing as either. Not really. There are
just less shitty options. Maybe you don't want to hear that right now, I
wouldn't blame you. But I think you need to hear it.Nobody can decide what is best for you. Sure, they can give you the
options, go into detail about the risks and rewards, but they can't choose. I
know it's scary and that you're worried you'll fuck up. That you'll lose
everything. If you continue this way, you will lose everything and more. That
much is certain.
District Attorney. Rachel's father. Lied to her about her mother's identity for most of her life. May or may not be on speaking terms with his daughter. Strained relationship.
I owe her no such thing. I believe she is wilfully acting belligerently,
just as she did this morning. It is how people like her respond to adversity.That's enough! You are not welcome here or around my daughter any
longer. I knew exactly what kind of person you are from the moment I saw you,
and I let my wife's compassion get the better of me.Rachel, that woman you saw... that wasn't my mistress. That was your
mother.
Rachel's mother, through marriage. Knew about James' lie, but kept it secret. Loves her daughter, but is struggling to keep their family together and doesn't approve of her behavior.
People like her? So we're profiling now? This is what eight months in
the DA's office has taught you?See? This is why it's so important to invite diverse voices to converse
with one another. It's absolutely stimulating.Well, Chloe, even if we don't fully agree with everything you say, we
can always appreciate the passion of your convictions.
Rachel's biological mother. (Ex) drug addict - depending. Her daughter was taken away by James when she was a baby. May or may not have met her daughter when she was sixteen.
Rachel deserves a loving father. A father who cares for her.
James is a desperate man who loves his daughter. And she loves him. Tell
her what happened here and you'll take that away from her. Forever.It's not about James! It's not about me, and it's not about you. It's
about Rachel. Tell her what James did, and you'll be killing him for her. You
understand that, don't you? You lost your father. Do you really want to put
Rachel through that?
Blackwell student and Vortex Club member. Friends with Victoria. Comes across as rude and bullies less popular students. Often pushed around by Victoria. Standoffish but can be fun and positive.
I'm not about tearing people down, Max...
Hi, Taylor. Just because you were nice to Victoria doesn't mean I have
to be nice to you.You're, like, weird but pretty cool, Max. Especially after watching you
go up on that roof. Victoria is wrong about you.
Blackwell's reporter. Always ready to get the latest story. Can sometimes get carried away and invasive. Mutual gossip buddies with Rachel.
Hey Max, did you check out Kate's hot video yet?
I'm flattered. I didn't even think you knew my name at all.
Touche. Now I feel like an ass. Thanks for finding out the truth
yesterday.
Blackwell Cheerleader. Likes to gossip. One of the nicer members of the Vortex Club. Friendly and cheerful. Likes talking to Rachel.
By the way, the best and biggest news of the day is that Trevor asked me
to the Halloween shindig.You're not helpful, you're just nosey. I think you better go...
I don't need any club to be cool or have friends. Look at you... Plus I like hanging with Trevor and his skater friends. No drama!
Used to (and still has) a major crush on Rachel. A total nerd. Regular D&D game master. Seller of pirate DVDs, which she has gotten in trouble for.
I am worried about Victoria coming in now and trying to hog every scene. But the cast overall is fantastic. You get to see a totally different side of everyone, especially the guys.
You are both famous heroes in the kingdom of Avernon, a once peaceful
land, now laid to waste by the bloodthirsty raiders of the Black Well.I've been planning to make a move on Rachel, but not if you two were
together. So, are you? I mean that's Rachel's business -- or maybe yours and
Rachel's business -- but if you feel comfortable telling me...
Blackwell student. Science nerd. Owns a drone, which she enjoys flying on campus. Aloof, outspoken and sarcastic.
Let me guess. You want to fly my drone?
You are perceptive, Max. Now excuse me. My drone needs me.
Most impressive, Max. Warren said you were multi-faceted.
Timid and shy. Used to really like Nathan until he broke her rib in a fit of anger. May become one of Jefferson's victims.
I wish he'd just go away and leave him alone!
Nathan's hurt and he needs help. But whenever I try to help him, it
always seems to make things worse. If you were Nathan right now, what would you
want me to do?Oh, Chloe, I wasn't thinking. I'm sorry.
Blackwell student. Studious, serious and dedicated. Buys drugs from Frank to help with study focus. Admires Mark Jefferson. Likes to gossip.
You have a lot to learn here at Blackwell. Rachel Amber absolutely had
sex with him.I'm not cool enough for this school.
It must piss off those pretentious galleries that Mark Jefferson is
teaching photography to us Blackwell hicks... plus he is pretty hot for an
older guy.
Blackwell student. Mostly keeps to herself and likes books. She will stand up for her friends. Hates bullying and the Vortex Club.
Years of mad dodging skills. Bullies never change.
I'm by myself reading chick-lit. Pretty soon I'll be bonding with
Victoria at the Vortex Club...Okay, Max, that's twice you've saved me from a projectile weapon. Are
you my guardian angel?
Mysterious woman who hangs outside the Two Whales. Nobody seems to know who she is. Rachel has spoken with her from time to time.
Aw, look at you. A fine example of youth. I bet you're a senior student.
I could tell you're a wise young woman. I know all about Blackwell and
this town...That whole family is dirty. They once done good things for Arcadia
Bay... those days are dead. Like anything in their way...
Blackwell's janitor. Peculiar, often called creepy. Mysterious and cryptic in a poetic, metaphorical way. Refers to himself in the third person. Believes in the supernatural. Sensitive and gentle. Loves animals.
Best not to dwell on the past. Samuel looks forward. Like a clock.
Even sunlight can cast shadows. Rachel did both at once, you know? She was like a battery: Positive and negative.
She gave out head shots like squirrels chasing food. Keep on prying,
Max. Sounds like you have a lot of time on your hands...
Principal of Blackwell Academy. Recovering alcoholic. Bribed by the Prescotts to ignore Nathan's poor behavior. Rapidly losing faith in Rachel, who he once considered a model student.
You're sweating pinballs. Is that all you're thinking about?
If an event skimps on the food, you know it's a bad event.
Ah, so you're going to mouth off to me now, yes? And here I thought your
well of witticisms had finally run dry.
Blackwell student. Reserved and intense. Takes pride in his photography and respects those who do too. Pretentious. Rachel is his favorite model because she always knows "what angles work best with his eyes."
It offends me when intelligence is wasted.
While I realize you're being purposefully obstructive, you raise a good point. Many parts of our local ecosystem benefit from fire. knobcone pine cones, for example, which require temperatures above 350 degrees to open.
What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at home, thinking
over your endless list of questionable decisions.
Blackwell student. Introverted and gets bullied a lot. Talented artist who struggles with his vision. Will draw Rachel, considers her his muse.
Hola, Max. I just figured out that my photos basically suck. I'm a
wannabe artist...She's the sweetest, most genuine person I've ever met... I don't mind
getting picked on by Blackwell bro-holes, but don't fuck with Kate.Dammit, I will go to the party like it is the end of the world! Okay,
maybe I won't go, but... No, I won't do that, but I'll go.
Blackwell student and skater dude. Trevor's friend. Laid back attitude and often high.
Yo, "Maximum Overdrive." About time you got here to save this
lame rave... Wanna get rippedYou're such a poser. If you can't even name a simple noseslide or a tre
flip, you should walk on.Oh, he should be freaking out in the VIP lounge with that Whore-tex Club.
Fucking hate those snobby douchebags... especially Nathan. That dude is gonna
go on a rampage soon.
Blackwell student and one of the more accepting members of the Vortex Club. Popular and friendly. Always high, relaxed and loves to party. He often sleeps in class.
Chillax, paranoia girl. We're not that desperate for fun. We know how to do
that on our own.I finally get you and Dana to come out to a Vortex Club party, but you
just want to lecture me... Gee, thanks, "Mr. Madsen."I just vaped some dank OG bud, so I can barely see you... or these hotties
next to me. You want a hit?
Blackwell Jock. Member of the Vortex Club and football team. Bullies other students. Crushing on Dana.
No bro, you can't take a picture. You gotta wait till Friday's game.
Bro, you are giving me the full body tackle... I already feel like an
ass for flaking on Dana. How can I be an un-dick now?Why don't you ever want to see me, Max? You're so cute and we never really
talk...
Blackwell student and skater. Justin's friend. Strong, silent type.
Football, Max. Bigfootball. Step away.
Yo, Maxwell Smart. Talk later, cool?
I got him blazed. He was cool. Nobody has secrets in Blackwell anyway. See
you in class, Max.
Blackwell Jock. Popular quarterback and member of the Vortex Club.
'Sup, Max. It's weird to not see you without your camera.
As long as you don't talk to everybody about all that shit with the sext
and Victoria.You're pretty smart, Max. See you at the game Friday.
