The Great Satan
The Students
The Other Weirdos

 

 

The Great Satan


Mr. Moore

The Great Satan. Mr. Moore. The APUSH teacher at Mounds View High School. Enjoys tormenting students, torturing souls, immolating things, and being evil in general.

 

 

The Students


Amy

One of Baka's friends. Enjoys 3D Art; she spends WAAY too much time on the potter's wheel, so she always shows up covered with clay (or at least that's what happened whenever I used the potter's wheel...) Tends to be sarcastic and a bit pessimistic.

Baka

The narrator of the manga; I guess you could also consider her the main character. Not necessarily the brightest crayon in the box - Baka often lives up to her name (Baka = "stupid" in Japanese). She's oddly perky and usually confused.

Baka is one of the few characters who isn't based off of a real person... I was thinking Miaka from Fushigi Yugi and Sana from Kodocha when I created her...


Beckio

Beckio, on the other hand, is real, although my drawings don't do the real Becky justice (sorry :Þ)

She's the leader of the evil debate witches, and likes cute little old men. We were working on a video project, and she brought up how she saw this cute little old man biking with rubber bands around his ankles or something like that... *whaps self* never mind me...


Chrissy

Chrissy... accidentally wandered into the APUSH room while looking for the Cosmetology class. She managed to escape from APUSH... right into a large pit of lava. Oops. Not based off of anyone in particular, but we all know people like her...

Killed off on the first day of APUSH.


Emmy

Another APUSH student, and member of the APUSH Support Group... and she has a MASSIVELY UNHEALTHY CRUSH on the Great Satan himself! The Great Satan is not happy about this, so Emmy ends being...

Sold as a slave/TA to Mr. B. on the sixth day of APUSH.


Jim

Known as "Jim the Jock." One of Sam's friends, and captain of the football team. Tends to be a bit lacking from the neck up, but has a large ego to make up for it. Wears way too much hair gel; this proves to be a problem when he irritates Mr. Moore. Hair gel and fire don't mix.

Killed off on the second day of APUSH.


Joe

Known as "Antisocial Joe." The UMTYMP (evil math program) student (I hope I spelled that right). Math team demon. Science Olympiad freak. Disapproves of human contact, prefers the warmth and comfort of a computer monitor. He's the only one who finishes his APUSH homework because he hacked into Mr. Moore's computer to get the questions.

Karen

Typical nice girl, member of the APUSH Support Group...

Karl

Known as "Kamikaze Karl." President of the Mounds View Anime Club, which is currently underground because it hasn't been chartered by the administration (this actually happened :D) He's also a purely fictional character... I might have paid more attention to him if he hadn't fallen into the "heating system" (see page 4 for explanation).

Killed off on the first day of APUSH.


Paul

The Very Religious Student, who hopes to be the next Pope. Of course, the Great Satan is Greatly amused...

I came very close to naming this guy Christian... yes, I know bad Connie, that wasn't punny... (haha)


Sally

Known as "School Spirit Sally." Loves Mounds View High School, warts and all. Never seen without the Mounds View colors (green and white) on. She's on Student Council (or rather, Student Dictatorship, according to the Tylerian Underground). Founder of the MV Mustang APUSH support group... although she's a little fanatical about it....

Sam

Sam. Like his friend, Jim the Jock, he's not exactly well endowed in the cranial cavity. Nevertheless, he's always good for cheap entertainment.

Theb

Theb, like Beckio, is also a real person (please excuse my pathetic attempts at depicting her). She's a soulless witch/debater, shameless mooch, parasitic daphnia with the soul of a giant squid... or maybe it's the other way around. I don't remember. Has a strange obsession with mummified penguins and their uses as soap.

Tim

Silly Tim. He's one of the many poor confused people in this world. Tim was shoved into APUSH by his parents, and, when he tried to escape, fell into a pit of lava. Not based off of a specific person...

Killed off on the first day of APUSH.


Vicky

Ah, Vicky the Viewette... Need I say more about her? I'm really not sure why she's in APUSH... But I doubt if she'll be in it for long (heheheh)

Almost killed off on the fifth day of APUSH


 

 

The Other Weirdos


Baka Dad

Hehe. Silly Baka family. You can see where Baka gets her perkiness and her pigtails from... Baka Dad's not too bright, but rather good natured. Finds Mr. Moore quite amusing, or maybe that's because he's too dense to figure out the truth. He was the one who suggested "Baka" as a name for his daughter... which tells you something... :Þ

I called him Baka Dad for lack of a better name.


Baka Mom

Silly Baka Mom. Slightly calmer and slightly more intelligent than Baka Dad, but no less insane and shares his obsession for pigtails. I sort of based her off of Misako (Sana's mother) from Kodocha...

Frodo

Frodo (borrowed from LOTR, of course) is shown here in one of his lesser known escapades. The Ring-bearer attempts to cheat at his Ring-Bearing...

Mr. B

The Grand High Demon of the Math Team Demons. Ends up buying Emmy from the Great Satan as a slave/TA. He's not quite the Great Satan, but he is a Grand High Demon, so he gets little horns!

Ms. I

A math teacher. When the budget was cut, so was her job. This led her and two other teachers to form the College Bored in order to forever torment the students and schools that had so wronged them.
Likes smiling, smiling, and smiling. Did I mention that she likes to smile?


Mr. P

The "APUSH teacher" who shows up on the second day. He's a cute nice old man, but he turns out to be the school janitor. His excuse? H wanted to see what it was like to be someone who makes only half as much as he does. Says something about teaching these days.... Of course, that irritates Mr. Moore, who promptly immolates him. Based off of a nice substitute teacher we had one day... this was a real teacher, not a janitor, mind you!

Killed off on the second day of APUSH.


Mr. W

A chemistry teacher who got fired thanks to budget cuts. However, he then went and helped found the College Bored, which still haunts us today... He's a silly Brit with the British accent and whatnot, likes to say "Bloody" and pronounce aluminum as "Al-you-minium" and "Meethane" not "Methane." Hehehe. Silly Brit.

Mr. Weinie
(Pronounced WINE-ee)

A laid off English teacher who got revenge by helping to create the College Bored, a device that exists soley to torment students and bemuddle schools. I apologize to the real Weinie, I can't draw him. The real Weinie is very cool. Bow down...

Zane

One of the Stahld Destruction Workers who are busily trying to destroy Mounds View as quickly as possible...

Killed off on the third day of APUSH


Zeke

Another Stahld Destruction Worker... Not quite as, erm, cranially endowed, owing that he never did get an "eddy-cation." Could be found smoking in the second floor girl's bathroom.. before he got immolated, of course.

Killed off on the third day of APUSH. Sheesh, I create too many new characters just so I can kill them... Bad me...
