Main Characters

     As a Whole 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_gang.jpg
From left to right: Owl, Mogg, Megg, and Werewolf Jones

  • Author Avatar: Simon Hanselmann has said he sees some of himself in all of the characters, particularly Megg.
  • Depraved Bisexual: Just about every adult character in the cast is a bona fide libertine. Werewolf Jones' takes this trope to an extreme that would fluster De Sade.
  • Jerkass: Every character is vain and obnoxious to some degree, but this is especially true of Werewolf Jones. Mike and Booger come across as less abrasive, but even they have their moments.
  • Hypocrite: After learning of Owl's sexual habits, Megg, Mogg, and Werewolf Jones chastise him for being a "slut." This in spite of all of them being pretty sexed-up and debased themselves.
  • The Pig-Pen: The whole group, Werewolf Jones especially, from their disheveled appearances to their diet seemingly consisting entirely of drugs, alcohol, and Pizza, to their pig-sty living quarters.
  • The Stoner: The titular trio and Werewolf Jones take this trope to its logical extreme, to the point where they're perpetually high and spend what little money they have on more weed. They're arguably deconstructions of the stoner archetype, as the reason they consume so much weed is because of their constant mental anguish.
  • Straw Nihilist: As is befitting their stunted emotional development, Megg and her friends espouse a sort of juvenile nihilism as an excuse for their behavior.
  • Tall Poppy Syndrome: Megg, Mogg, and Owl all enable each other's habits and emotional problems. They're trapped in their own misery as much by each other as they are by themselves.
  • Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: All of the leads are difficult to like to varying degrees.
  • Vague Age: Most of the cast are implied to be in their 30's but few precise dates are given. Megg is listed as 29 in Bad Gateway, meaning that the others hover around that age.
  • With Friends Like These...: All the characters are constantly at each other's throats. They're all bristling with hostility towards Owl in particular (and vice versa).
  • Would Hurt a Child: Werewolf Jones is horribly neglectful towards his kids. All his friends are indifferent to this, except for Owl, who occasionally voices concern for their well-being. In "Crisis Zone," Owl is the only member of the main cast who tries to do right by Jaxon an make sure his needs are met.

     Megg 

Megg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/megg.jpg
"One more year."

"I've gotten pretty good at getting things done while feeling suicidally horrible."

A manically depressed witch as well as the first of the three titular characters.

  • Byronic Hero: Although she doesn't fit the traditional Byronic image, Megg is a troubled, brooding loner who nonetheless demonstrates a thoughtful, pensive side. She also writes poetry and is a musician, adding to her Byron-esque qualities.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: She flies on a broomstick in one early strip, while later ones would largely phase out anything resembling actual magic.
  • Goth Girls Know Magic: She has a moody, withdrawn demeanor and is a witch. Amusingly, she makes sporadic references to casting spells but is almost never seen doing anything magical. Hanselmann refers to her as a "lapsed witch."
  • Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Megg is a distinctly un-charming take on this trope. She's a mean drunk and she's almost always drunk or high. While she's not quite as selfish, crass, and violent as Mogg or WWJ, she does some pretty rude and shitty things herself.
  • Jerkass: Megg tends to be a mean and boorish person to everyone around her even when she's stoned and in a relatively "good" mood.
    • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Although she's usually just as awful as Mogg, it's sometimes demonstrated that she's capable of introspection and that she would probably be a nicer and more laid-back person under different circumstances.
  • Loser Protagonist: Megg's life sucks and she's keenly aware of this fact. She's a 29-year-old womanchild who's unemployed, stuck in a bad relationship, surrounded by toxic friends, and constantly high to the point of near-catatonia. It's shown that her entire adult life thus far has consisted of the same aimless, drunken misadventures she's been having since she was a teenager. Age is catching up with her by the time the series takes place, with her depression, isolation from the rest of humanity, and her lack of fulfillment all taking their toll on her mental health (which was never in a good place to begin with).
  • Pretty Freeloaders: Played with in that Megg is a reasonably attractive woman, but the way she acts and lives renders her deeply unappealing. She's a slovenly, unhygienic drug addict who rarely showers or changes her clothes and reeks of stale weed. It's mentioned that she has horrible breath and that her dental health is so bad that her teeth regularly crumble.
  • Shout-Out: Much like the Melvins album of the same name, Megg is literally a "Stoner Witch."
  • Stepford Smiler: Even though she maintains the facade of being a laid-back stoner, her deep unhappiness periodically shines through. Owl and Mogg are aware of her instability but are indifferent towards it.
    "I've gotten really good at doing things while suicidally depressed."
  • Ungrateful Bastard: She treats Owl with total contempt while leeching off him. He conquers his oneitis and abandons her and Mogg to fend for themselves.

     Mogg 

Mogg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mogg.jpg
"Nothing matters. Everything is meaningless. Stop trying so hard."

A talking cat that's Megg's live-in boyfriend. He's apathetic to the bizarre things that happen around him.

  • Butt-Monkey: He comes to occupy this role in the comics set after Owl moves out.
  • Cats Are Mean: The most unsympathetic of the cast, in the body of a kitty cat. Arguably his worst traits are just cat behaviors put into a human context.
  • Dumb Jock: Was the captain of the track team in high school and isn't portrayed as being terribly bright.
  • Evil Is Petty: With Megg's assistance, Mogg has repeatedly sabotaged Owl's career, romantic life, and his battle with alcoholism. It's implied he does this partly because it amuses him and to keep Owl from escaping the squalor they all live in. It eventually backfires big time when Mogg expresses no remorse for sexually assaulting him as a prank, prompting Owl to cut off contact with him and Megg for good.
  • Fetish: He likes to put on a Hamburglar mask for his "alone time". He's also obsessed with anal sex and rimming, to the point that it drives a wedge between him and Megg.
  • For the Evulz: Mogg says and does many horrible things for no other reason than finding it funny to cause unhappiness and suffering.
  • Future Loser: Once upon a time, Mogg was a big-shot high school athlete and the coolest guy in his social circle. Even though he's now an unemployed loser pushing 30, he still has a massive sense of entitlement. He doesn't see any issue with taking advantage of Owl and treating him like crap, even expressing confusion when Owl cites said treatment as why he's moving out.
  • Hate Sink: Mogg has little in the way of endearing qualities. Megg and Owl have moments where the audience can sympathize with them, and even with Werewolf Jones there's a patheticness to his rage and dysfunction that almost evokes pity. Mogg is a whiny, petulant deadbeat who contributes nothing of value to the group's living arrangement other than the hefty allowance he gets from his family. That sole positive disappears in Bad Gateway when his parents decide to withhold it. Megg becomes much more keenly aware of how useless he is after Owl moves out and her relationship falls apart without his stabilizing influence.
  • It's All About Me: Hanselmann explicitly describes Mogg as being "cold," "creepy," and having "boundary issues" with Megg.
  • Jerk Jock: Formerly at least, as he was a track star in high school and considered the coolest guy in his social circle. He isn't much of a "jock" in the present day, although still very much a Jerkass.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: It's demonstrated at multiple points that Megg isn't happy with her and Mogg's life style. Mogg is aware of this but chooses not to make any changes to help her. He's content with their mediocre existence and would prefer not to rock the boat.
    • At the end of Megahex, Owl cites the way he's been treated as the reason he's moving out. When Mogg apologizes, the word "sorry" is in quotes, implying he doesn't feel remorse for the many bad things he's done to him.
  • Lack of Empathy: As mentioned above, he's indifferent to the suffering of his friends, even that of his girlfriend Megg. He treats her debilitating, suicidal depression as a minor annoyance.
  • Lazy Bum: He and Megg together only pay 20 percent of the rent. He also mentions being on the dole for unemployment, even though he has no interest in seeking out work. A later strip shows he can't even hold down a job where all he had to do was sit around and smile.
  • Manchild: Mogg still has the personality of a lazy, arrogant teenager even though it's been over a decade since he either graduated or dropped out of high school. A flashback strip shows that he hasn't changed one iota in all that time.
  • Pet the Dog: As callous as he is, there are a few rare occasions when he shows genuine concern for Megg's wellbeing.
  • Stupid Evil: In one strip, Megg and Mogg are being accosted by the cops over a robbery at a local deli. Mogg (who was responsible for the crime along with Megg) tries to incriminate Owl (who wasn't involved in any way) as the culprit. Mogg was already in the clear, so he does this for no reason other than finding it funny to besmirch Owl's name while lying to the cops. He either doesn't realize or doesn't care that Owl getting charged with a serious felony would effectively leave him and Megg homeless and without most of their monthly income.
  • Tall Poppy Syndrome: He makes sure none of his friends do better than him.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: After Werewolf Jones, Mogg is the character that's most frequently seen cajoling his friends into committing crimes against humanity. He also continues to willingly accept Werewolf Jones' presence in their lives in spite of all the chaos he invites.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Mogg has zero gratitude towards Megg and Owl even after they've tolerated his buffoonery for over a decade.
  • Upper-Class Twit: He mentions getting a monthly allowance from his parents, suggesting he comes from a wealthy family. This is confirmed at the beginning of Bad Gateway when he mentions it getting withheld over something scandalous he posted on his tumblr page.

    Owl 

Owl

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lifezone_33.jpg
"... I'm accustomed to such treatment at this point."

"I don't want any ketamine or hats! I want a clean, quiet house! I want sleep! I want to watch QI!"

Megg and Mogg's flatmate. He's more grounded in reality than the rest of the cast, although that's not saying much.

  • The Alcoholic: Owl has a drinking problem and feels deeply ashamed of it. Fearful of his behavior when drunk, he goes to AA meetings in order to stay sober. Megg and Mogg push him off the wagon as a prank.
  • Butt-Monkey: Owl can never catch a break. Arguably a deconstruction of the trope, as much of the treatment Owl receives from his "friends" is outright abuse.
  • The Dog Bites Back: At the end of Megahex, Owl moves out, leaving Megg and Mogg to fend for themselves. This sends them into a panic as they've been freeloading at his expense for years. Considering they're both unemployed and only pay a meager portion of the rent, their prospects don't look good.
  • Dogged Nice Guy: Owl has harbored a crush on Megg since they were in high school. He tries to make advances from time to time in spite of her clear lack of interest. At the end of Megahex, Owl looks into Megg's eyes and declares that he's over her.
  • Easily Forgiven: A deconstruction. Owl is ridiculously forgiving to the others in spite of their often malicious attempts to sabotage his life, but it's mostly because he's too weak-willed to put his foot down and stand up for himself. The end of Megahex demonstrates that he has his limits however, and their complete lack of remorse over raping him convinces him to finally leave.
  • Extreme Doormat: Although he tries to maintain a semblance of order in his and his flatmates' lives, he's too weak-willed and neurotic to make much of a difference.
  • Functional Addict: Unlike his flatmates, he's able to hold down a job in spite of his voracious consumption of weed and booze. Megg and Mogg are able to have some structure in their lives thanks to Owl's marginal stability. He eventually wises up and cuts them loose.
  • Grew a Spine: After years of abuse and ridicule, Owl leaves his friends for good at the end of Megahex.
    • He finally fights back physically when Werewolf Jones sexually assaults him after his friends decide to not help him.
    • In "Crisis Zone," Owl is spurred on by the stress of the pandemic to become a lot more confident and authoritative in reeling in his friends' antics.
  • Insufferable Genius: Even if he's conceited and not that much better than they are, his criticisms of his flatmates are usually correct.
  • Kavorka Man: In spite of his dorky, unappealing personality and rampant substance abuse, Owl is constantly having sex. However, it's not portrayed as something admirable, as he never forms any meaningful relationships and he's contracted numerous venereal diseases. He's attracted to Megg but she's not interested, so he constantly seeks out shallow flings with other women to fill the void.
  • Loser Protagonist: Owl is a loser who hangs out with worse losers to make himself feel big.
  • Only Sane by Comparison: He seems perfect compared to his housemates, but Owl is a neurotic, alcoholic, STD-addled sex addict in reality.
  • Only Sane Man: A deconstruction of the usual variant. Owl is objectively more functional than Megg or Mogg. However, that's only by the standards of their peer group. He's still a sex-crazed alcoholic with some serious emotional problems. It's implied the reason he tolerates Megg and Mogg's abuse is so he can lord his functionality over them and feel superior.
    • Ultimately played straight after he gets well and truly fed up with the shitty way his friends treat him and leaves their lives for good. The events of Bad Gateway reveal that the others are completely incapable of dealing with everyday life without him, failing at holding down jobs, paying bills, or even keeping the house clean.
  • Parental Substitute: He becomes this to Jaxon in "Crisis Zone" after he saves the pup from attempting suicide and starts to bond with him.
  • Sitcom Character Archetypes: The Stick- inflexible, high-strung and neurotic.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: He thinks he's a lot more sophisticated and smart than he really is because he's marginally more productive than his friends.

    Werewolf Jones 

Werewolf Jones

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/werewolfjonesroyalty.jpg
Werewolf Jones during one of his calmer moments.

"I totally ruined everything! Again."

A mentally unstable werewolf. He frequently hangs around with the main trio (usually against their will).

  • Abusive Parents: Besides being openly contemptuous of Jaxon, Jones is constantly roping his boys into his get-rich-quick schemes. This ranges from sending the boys out to panhandle, starting Diesel off on a career in "camming" (IE, performing sex acts on a webstream), taking sexually suggestive photos of them as part of a scheme to get back at Owl, ram raiding retail outlets, and forcing them to make felt hats for his Etsy shop. That's to say nothing of their atrocious living conditions and their diet, which is implied to be nothing but sugary breakfast cereal and energy drinks. Tellingly, Jones threatening to crack Jaxon's neck for making noise while he's on the phone is one of his more benign moments.
    • We never see Jones' ex-wife, but she presumably isn't a good parent either. Considering Werewolf Jones won custody of the kids over her, she must be even more of a mess than he is.
    • It extends beyond his two boys. He's later revealed to have an infant daughter, which he locked up in a birdcage.
  • Addled Addict: His erratic behavior can be attributed to his abuse of powerful narcotics. This frequently leads to trouble for him and his friends. A couple stripsnote  imply he routinely uses the harder opioids.
  • The Aggressive Drug Dealer: Surprisingly averted. While Jones frequently sells his friends weed and suggests that they take other drugs with him, they're the ones who continually and deliberately seek him out. Perhaps the most shocking thing about the main trio's relationship with Jones is that they willingly keep him in their lives so they can have a consistent supply of weed.
  • Alas, Poor Villain: His friends are devastated by his death in both the non-canon series "Crisis Zone" and the ambiguously canon zine strip "Xmas 2017."
  • Ax-Crazy: Werewolf Jones is not the picture of mental health, to put it lightly. His easy-going demeanor evaporates into ferocious, unhinged anger the moment anyone challenges him.
  • Death Seeker: A lot of Werewolf Jones' self-destructive behavior (as well as him mentioning in "Worst Behavior" that he doesn't enjoy being alive) could be read as him slowly killing himself. He eventually gets what he wants.
  • Depraved Bisexual: Sex-crazed to the point that even his friends find him repulsive.
  • Equal-Opportunity Evil: For all of his vile behavior, Werewolf Jones is at least accepting of Booger's transgender identity. It's worth noting partly because Jones knew Booger since well before her transition, implying he has no reservations about befriending LGBT folks (and it'd be hypocritical if he did, given his own bisexuality). Of course, that could also just be a result of his desire for any attention and companionship he can come by.
  • Faux Affably Evil: His cheerful, cavalier demeanor throws his unpleasant qualities into sharper relief.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Although they find his antics amusing, it's implied that none of Jones' friends truly like him. The only reason he remains in their lives is that he supplies them with weed, they've known each other since high school, and they can never get rid of him for good. It's ironic because in his own way, Jones is the only member of the group who values their friendship.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Jones responds to all problems in his life by screaming obscenities.
  • Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Although his antics are funny to read about, Jones is not someone you would ever want in your life.
  • Ignored Epiphany: He's aware on some level that he isn't happy and is making his loved ones unhappy, but he's unwilling to change his ways.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: A flashback to high school shows that Jones has always been an aggressive, lecherous scumbag.
    • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Played with but ultimately subverted. In the most bizarre, twisted way you could imagine, Jones genuinely loves his friends. At the best of times, Megg, Mogg, and Owl merely tolerate one another. But Jones relishes their companionship even though he's constantly abusing them and subjecting them to his obnoxious behavior, all of which stems from his well-placed fear that they'll abandon him. However, this earnest love is completely negated by his horrible behavior and his refusal to change his ways.
  • The Millstone: Jones actively makes his friends' problems worse when he isn't creating new ones. Many strips feature him landing the group in deep trouble as a result of his behavior.
  • Obliviously Evil: Werewolf Jones doesn't seem to realize that his actions upset the people around him.
  • Our Werewolves Are Different: Contrary to what his name would suggest, Jones doesn't seem to have a human form, to the point where it'd appear he's just a wolf-man all the time. However, at the end of "Worst Behavior" (and at one point in "Crisis Zone") he reverts to human form while going through withdrawal in a jail cell. It's implied he's only a Werewolf when he's inebriated in some way.
  • Psychopathic Manchild: There's something fundamentally childish about Werewolf Jones. His poor reasoning skills, lack of inhibition control, and tendency to flip out make it clear that he never stopped being a teenage delinquent even though he's approaching his 40's.
  • Really Gets Around: He mentions having sex with a lot of people, and has also made it with Owl, and likely Megg and Booger.
  • Stepford Smiler: Jones' ridiculous antics do little to disguise the fact that he's dead inside.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Downplayed as the rest of the cast are all varying degrees of awful people, but Jones is the most depraved, destructive and psychotic by a huge margin.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: Jones often pushes his friends to indulge in their worst behavior.

Other Characters

     Booger 

Booger

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/booger_main.png

A trans-boogeyman and a long-time friend (and love interest) of Megg's.

  • Ascended Extra: In Megahex, Booger is sometimes seen hanging out with the main trio but otherwise doesn't play a big role in the book's narrative. She becomes much more involved in the plots of subsequent books.
  • Ms. Fanservice: She becomes an online sex worker and shows off her body a lot more in Crisis Zone.
  • Nice Girl: Unlike Mogg, Booger is much more sympathetic towards Megg's emotional turmoil.
  • Older Than They Look: Fake-Hair Drama during Crisis Zone reveals that she has very advanced hair-loss, possibly making her the oldest of the cast.
  • Token Good Teammate: Booger generally comes across as the friendliest and most laid-back member of the cast.
  • Trans Tribulations: She resorts to peeing in back-alleys in fear of getting beat up in a bathroom, and wears an Old-Timey Bathing Suit to conceal her body when she goes for a swim.

    Mike 

Mike

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mike_543.jpg

A laid-back warlock who's said to be extremely gifted at "chilling." He sporadically accompanies the group on their misadventures.

    Diesel and Jaxon 

Diesel and Jaxon Jones

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_boys.png

The young sons of Werewolf Jones.

  • A Day in the Limelight: They get a lot more to do in the "Werewolf Jones and Sons" book. Besides that, most collections tend to have at least one Diesel/Jaxon-focused story.
  • Ambiguously Gay / Ambiguous Gender Identity: In two different stories (with dubious canon), Diesel comes out as gay and/or trans. Neither are proven or denied, though Jaxon/Jack and Booger are both absolutely certain that Diesel is faking it to cause trouble or get praise.
  • Ascended Extra: Both of them become much more pivotal characters in "Crisis Zone."
  • The Determinator: In "Crisis Zone," Jaxon eventually resolves to become a better person by rejecting his father's toxic influence. He sums it up at one point after a noticeably stressed-out and upset Owl asks the pup if he's doing alright:
    "Yeah... I'm okay. I've experienced far worse... Are you okay?"
  • Divergent Character Evolution: Originally, the only thing that differentiated the two was that their father clearly favored Diesel. Later, Jaxon became one of the more sweet, sensitive and responsible characters.
  • Do Not Call Me "Paul": In "Crisis Zone," Jaxon comes to prefer being called "Jack" or "Jackson" as a way of distancing himself from his father's malevolent stupidity.
  • Generation Xerox: They take after their father in more ways then one, unfortunately.
  • Gonk: They're a lot uglier and more gross-looking than the rest of the cast, due to their dirty, disheveled appearances. In one strip set in the future, we see that Jaxon as a grown-up just looks like his dad but more neatly-dressed and clean-cut. In "Crisis Zone," Jaxon eventually becomes more cute-looking after he loses his "confectionary 5-o-clock shadow" while Diesel/Desi (who remains an abrasive and unsympathetic character) retains it.
  • Hidden Depths: It's suggested at numerous points that they lash out because they're desperate for their dad's love and attention.
    • During "Ram Raids," Jaxon shows interest in grabbing a chemistry set while his dad robs a retail outlet.
    • Diesel is a fan of of R. Crumb of all people, and is deeply upset after learning about his suspicious sexual conduct from the 70's.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: In "Crisis Zone," Jaxon strikes up a friendship with Owl (who he starts to view as a surrogate father figure) after he saves the pup from attempting suicide. From there, it's shown that Jaxon (or "Jack" as he later prefers to be called) is actually a pretty sweet kid when he's not being influenced by his dad. He even turns out to be surprisingly morally-principled compared to the rest of the cast (as seen when he dramatically stands up to his abusive father and later on when he refuses some drugs and liqueur that are offered to him).
  • Odd Friendship: During "Crisis Zone," Jaxon forms one with Owl due in part to them both being frustrated with the stupidity and selfishness they're constantly surrounded by.
  • Our Werewolves Are Different: Like their father, they're constantly in wolf-form due to being hopped up on sugar.
  • Those Two Guys
  • The Unfavorite: Although neither are treated particularly well to begin with, Werewolf Jones considers Jaxon the more disappointing of the two. This comes to a head in "Crisis Zone" when Jaxon (who's been continuously treated with barely-concealed contempt by WWJ the entire series) tells his dad in no uncertain terms that he hates him and doesn't want anything more to do with him ever again.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: They are frequently seen cussing, doing drugs, and acting out in violent ways.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: Both Jaxon and Diesel show hints of being this in many earlier strips. It eventually becomes a major plot point in "Crisis Zone," as their mutual desire for parental approval influences their behavior in different ways (with Jaxon viewing Owl as a surrogate father figure and resolving to become a better person than his dad, and Diesel becoming more destructive and manipulative).
  • Wild Child: They sometimes act like this, presumably due to their father's parenting (or lack thereof).
  • Wise Beyond Their Years: Likely as a result of having to endure so much hardship from a young age, Jaxon shows himself to be a surprisingly thoughtful and introspective kid at certain points.

    Susan 

Susan

The ex-wife of Werewolf Jones and mother of his three children. She's been mentioned several times, but her first appearance is in the non-canonical Crisis Zone comic.

  • Abusive Parents: As it turns out, Werewolf Jones was the good parent compared to her.
  • Addled Addict: Her arms are covered in scabbed-over track marks and she threatens to spray Owl with her Hepatitis-tainted blood.
  • Ax-Crazy: While Jones isn't exactly high-functioning, Susan is somehow even more violent and unstable than him.
  • Evil Matriarch: Given how WWJ usually has custody of his kids, it's implied that she's an even worse parent. This is confirmed when she actually appears.
  • The Faceless: When she finally appears, her face is covered in a ski mask. It only comes off when she turns into a werewolf, and she shares the same face all werewolves do.
  • The Ghost: Mentioned sporadically, but never seen until Crisis Zone.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: She calls Owl a "fruit" when he tries to stop her from kidnapping her kids.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: She's a lot more foul-mouthed than the other characters (which is saying a lot), with almost every line of her dialogue including one expletive or another.
  • Would Hurt a Child: She has no concern for her childrens' well-being. She only seems to want them because she feels entitled to have them.

    Amelie 

Amelie

Megg's mother, whom she has a fraught relationship with. She's mentioned often but is never seen or heard until Bad Gateway.

  • Addled Addict: She has much more severe substance abuse problems than Megg. She's prescribed Methadone to deal with her opioid habit.
  • The Ghost: While she doesn't appear in-person for much of the comic's runtime, her presence looms large over Megg's life.

     Dracula Jr. 

Dracula Jr.

A sleazy friend/fuck-buddy of Werewolf Jones, and an acquaintance of the gang.

  • Depraved Bisexual: Like all of WWJ's friends, he's into having kinky drug-fueled orgies in other people's houses.
  • Dream Weaver: Claims to be "big-time in the lucy (lucid dreamer) community". Skilled enough to infiltrate the dreams of others, at least (assuming he wasn't just another part of Werewolf Jone's dream).
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Has a son, Dracula Jr. Jr., in Crisis Zone. Losing said son is what motivates him to kidnap Jaxon and try to kill the gang.
  • Friendly Neighborhood Vampires: For a given definition of "friendly".
  • Informed Attribute: The table of contents for Crisis Zone calls Drac a "gutter philosopher". He doesn't really do any philosophizing, and he's not noticeably more poor than any other main character.
  • Those Two Guys: With Ian the Bear.
  • Vampires Own Nightclubs: Drac owns a small music venue in "Below Ambition".

     Ian 

Ian the Bear

Another friend of Werewolf Jones, often seen with Dracula Jr.
