History Characters / TheSociety

* JerkassWoobie: Is an asshole, but his spiraling mental health and how Campbell takes advantage of his drug addiction and depression makes him rather sympathetic.

* NiceGirl: While occasionally haughty, she is quite kind and compassionate with almost everybody.

Sam’s best friend since childhood. She often acts as his translator when Sam would prefer to use sign language.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: Her dismissal of the Guard's poor treatment of Lexie leads to her retaliation and the events of the finale]].
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Is faced with many difficult decisions over the course of the season.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: During high school he was the most popular kid because of his rich parents and him throwing huge parties at his home. However, once all of that went away, many of the students in town want nothing to do with him, even the ones he thought were his friends, because they now see how selfish he is. There are scenes where teens won't even bother with him, unless he promises them something, like letting them borrow one of his fancy cars. This on top of having to share his assets with other teens has led him into a deep depression, [[spoiler: which Campbell later uses to manipulate him into helping him take over the town at the end of Season 1.]]

* TooCoolToLive: Her heart condition, go-getter personality, and political dominance of the town? [[spoiler:She gets killed in episode 3.]]

* FauxAffablyEvil: Presents himself as laid back, honest, and cooperative. Most people don’t buy it, nor should they.

One of Allie's friends, a foster child who lived in poverty outside city limits.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: During high school he was the most popular kid because of his rich parents and him throwing huge parties at his home. However, once all of that went away, many of the students in town want nothing to do with him, even the ones he thought were his friends, because they now see how selfish he is. There are scenes where teens won't even bother with him, unless he promises them something, like letting them borrowing one of his fancy cars. This on top of having to share his assets with other teens has led him into a deep depression, [[spoiler: which Campbell later uses to manipulate him into helping him take over the town at the end of Season 1.]]

* AxCrazy: It's implied throughout Season 1 that Campbell is a textbook psychopath and he does nothing to make people think any different, and even recognizes that most people are afraid of him.

* DragonInChief: Campbell is clearly more competent than Harry, the Guard, and even Lexie who he convinces to take control but they’re all clearly his puppets who he only needs because no one will support him alone due to his ZeroPercentApprovalRating with the masses.

* BungledSuicide: After she [[spoiler: fails to stop the guests at the Thanksgiving feast from partaking the poison pie meant for Campbell, she quickly devours the rest of the pie with her fingers, both out of guilt and as an attempt to stop anyone else from partaking.

* OneNightStandPregnancy: Something she's ashamed about, which leads to her and Sam pretending it's his.

* TheBeard: A particularly unique inversion in which Sam pretends he’s not gay and says he’s the father of Becca’s baby because Becca doesn't want to admit she was knocked up in a random one-night stand. This causes some confusion among the town since Sam was openly gay beforehand.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Sam.

* OnlySaneMan: Is one of the few voices of reason and is the only one among the Guard.
