Line #94 Characters/Stuck


1	''[=Stuck=]'', a novel in three episodes by Lyle Terry (aka @/{{Tre}}), has quite a few characters. Here's all the important ones.
2
3	!Tre Listman
4
5	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trevver_7281.png]]
6	[[caption-width-right:200:"Bring it, world. I'm onto your little tricks."]]
7	''Appears in all three episodes.''
8
9	The protagonist of the book, Tre Listman is a [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent junior high student]] with [[DitzyGenius a slight lack of common sense]] and [[WeirdnessMagnet a tendency to land himself in odd situations]]. Despite this, he somehow always manages to come up with way to work himself out of them, even if it takes him a few times to get it right.
10
11	He's not aware of the fact that he's [[AuthorAvatar a fictional version of Lyle Terry]] at first, but it gets clearer to him eventually.
12
13	* ActionSurvivor (until Episode 3, anyway)
14	* AuthorAvatar: Carries enough traits shared by Lyle Terry to count as one, but he doesn't get any kind of mercy as a result of it.
15	* AudienceSurrogate
16	* [[spoiler: BewareTheNiceOnes:]] After he finds out who The Messenger is.
17	* ButtMonkey: Oh, lord, for an AuthorAvatar Lyle puts himself through a ''lot'' of flak. The frakking book starts off with Tre getting embarassed for laughs at a school dance and then it just goes on and on and on and on...
18	* ClassicalAntihero / UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: He's snarky enough to count as the latter, but isn't terribly unsympathetic most of the time, so he's in the middle.
19	* CockFight: With Todd over Nora during the second episode.
20	* DitzyGenius: ''Very'' much so.
21	* DeadpanSnarker: Subverted at most points, as he's pretty bad at not laughing at what he says.
22	* GeekPhysique: The skinny type.
23	* IJustWantToBeSpecial: In ''Stuck at the Galleria'' and ''Sparks.''
24	* LeParkour: His preferred method of getting around later in the book.
25	* MetaGuy: Becomes ''very'' versed in knowledge about his universe and its not being real by the end of the book.
26	* [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ordinary Junior High School Student]]
27	* TheSlacker: A semi-teen example.
28	* TookALevelInBadass: He starts off rather timid in the beginning of Episode One. By the middle of that book he's blowing up robots and defending himself and Nora fairly well, and he stays on that level up until Episode Three, which significantly cranks up the amount of his awesomeness.
29	* [[spoiler:TookALevelInJerkass]]: After [[spoiler:Nora dumps him.]] He got better.
30	* WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: He's black. Nora's white.
31
32	!Nora Irving
33
34	[[quoteright:153:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nora_6294.png]]
35	[[caption-width-right:153:"Oh, ''don't even.''"]]
36	''Appears in all three episodes.''
37
38	The second lead of our story, Nora is the ''de facto'' leader of the group, and a ''very'' snarky young female. She may seem hard on the outside, but she's really a smart, if slightly nerdy girl that's just trying to figure out who she is. Until then, though, she deals with the weird world of Greyson City by secretly tearing its logic apart via snide comments (not all of which are mean-spirited).
39
40	Oh, and she's Tre's girlfriend too, but things get a bit complicated on that front.
41
42	* ActionGirl
43	* DeadpanSnarker: Stuck's largest and most notable example.
44	* DefrostingIceQueen: She grows to be less irritable as the book goes on, though the snark is always to be found.
45	* KnightInSourArmor
46	* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Grassy.Not just ''a'' cool loser. ''The'' Cool Loser.
47	* LittleMissBadass: Not very little, but she still counts.
48	* LittleMissSnarker
49	* MetaGirl
50	* StepfordSnarker: To a T.
51	* TheSnarkKnight
52	* VitriolicBestBuds: Type two with Grassy.
53	* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Not a huge example, but if you try to hurt Tre in front of her, she will ''flip her lid.''
54	* WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: She's white. Tre's black.
55
56	!Gordon "Grassy" Scott
57
58	[[quoteright:194:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grassy_7692.png]]
59	[[caption-width-right:194:"Nerdiness is ''fun!"]]
60	''Appears in all three episodes.''
61
62	TheSmartGuy of the main group, Grassy is a guy who's sort of in between Nora and Tre in terms of snarkiness. Nora's best friend and confidante, he seems to know at least a little about almost everything, and the Crew use this to their advantage. In addition, he's also [[PlayfulHacker quite talented with a QWERTY and a terminal,]] and he occasionally dabbles into making stuff himself (though they usually last all of ten minutes).
63
64	* BrilliantButLazy, but when he gets down to business it's probably a good idea to run. Or duck and cover.
65	* BewareTheNiceOnes
66	-->'''Grassy:''' Just because I'm a lover doesn't mean I ''can't'' fight.
67	* GeniusBruiser: He's the biggest member of The Crew in terms of size, but he ''hates'' fighting, [[spoiler: unless he gets the chance to knock Crow teeth in while Allison's around.]]
68	* [[HollywoodHacking Hollywood Hacker]]
69	--> '''Grassy:''' If I did any real hacking, [[MediumAware there'd be problems on a whole 'nother level.]]
70	%% * LikeBrotherAndSister: With Nora.
71	%% * LimitedWardrobe: He ''really'' likes yellow flannel.
72	%% * {{Medium Aware\|ness}}
73	* NonActionGuy: [[spoiler: That is, until the finale.]]
74	%% * PlayfulHacker
75	* VitriolicBestBuds: Type two with both Nora and Max, Nora moreso.
76
77
78	!Maximilian P. "Max" Cromwell
79
80	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maxcr__9080.png]]
81	[[caption-width-right:300:"Show me the exit, and I'll consider changing my mind."]]
82	''Appears in all three episodes.''
83
84	The ying to Grassy's yang, Max is, for lack of a better term, loud. Unafraid and [[BoisterousBruiser boisterous]], Max seems like he's the kind of guy who's really just trying to make himself look good, but when things get serious, so does he. Mass awesomeness ensues.
85
86	He's also a huge softie, but don't tell him that.
87
88	* BoisterousBruiser
89	* BerserkButton: Don't mess with Piper if you wish to keep your teeth.
90	* TheBigGuy
91	* CombatPragmatist
92	* DeadpanSnarker: He gets shades of this during Episode Three.
93	* GenreSavvy
94	--> '''Max:''' I've seen enough movies like this to know how this ends. Badly.
95	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The jerk part is how he presents himself, but he's ready and willing to help and fight for his friends (especially Piper) when they need him to.
96	* KnightInSourArmor: EVEN MORESO THAN NORA.
97	* LargeHam: At times.
98	* NotSoStoic: He's ''really'' nice to Pip and probably opens up the most to her, though both of them know it's just a friend thing and nothing more.
99	-->'''Tre:''' As it turns out, Cromwell ''actually has feelings!''
100	* VitriolicBestBuds: Type two with Grassy.
101
102	!Cari "Cici" Benz
103
104	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cici1760.png
105	''Appears in all three episodes.''
106
107	She was rich, popular and had a life every teen dreams of... and she hated it. So Cici, a girl branded as a jerk by her peers because of some of her past actions, is on a mission to redeem herself by giving up her past and trying to start over. The question is, will she be able to?
108
109	* RichBitch: Apparently she was this before she escaped to the Galleria.
110
111	!Piper Hougan
112
113	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/piper9002.png
114	''Appears in all three episodes.''
115
116	Cici's partner in crime and one of the saner members of the group, Piper is a quiet but levelheaded girl, though when she does talk, the results are often either hilarious or awesome. Has a notably good friendship with Max, of all people.
117
118	* BewareTheQuietOnes
119	* TheQuietOne
120	* TheSilentBob
121
122	!Freddy and Marty Leighton-Yeval
123
124	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/freddy3042.png
125	[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marty7131.png]]
126	''Appear in all three episodes.''
127
128	A. K. A. "the twins", Freddy and Marty, despite looking somewhat similar, could not be any more different. While Freddy's a huge nerd, is kind of a killjoy sometimes, and has a larger IQ, Marty is a lazy, laid-back guy who lives by a mantra of "go with the flow". Despite this, the two share a close bond and have a tendency to finish each other's sentences.
129
130	!Carl Ollins "Cow" Weisgerber
131	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cow3383.png
132	''Appears in all three episodes.''
133
134	A somewhat recently hired security guard at the Westland Galleria Mall, Cow is literally the'' only'' person on their force to pose a threat to the seven kids "squatting" there (said kids being Nora, Grassy, Max, the twins, Cici, and Piper), and even then he's only somewhat effective in his job, mainly because the dude is pretty deluded. As a result of the kids' chaos getting him in trouble with his boss, [[spoiler: he gets fired. Thirsting for revenge, as a result he joins the police and frames them for a million-dollar bank robbery.]]
135
136	!Layla Lune
137	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/layla1549.png
138	''Appears in all three episodes. ''
139
140	A girl who joins the group after an altercation she had with the security guards at "The Third Pillar", Layla is a goth-turned-hipster who constantly reinvents herself (about once a week or so). As a result, seeing her as a freaky demon chick one week and completely normal the next is a pretty normal sight for everyone.
141
142	!Allison "Allie" Silverburgh
143	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/allison8296.png
144	''Appears in Episodes 1 and 3.''
145
146	One of Tre's other friends along with Cale, Allison is a very loud, wild, slightly crazy and very outgoing girl who, despite being incredibly bombastic and hammy, has a good heart and loves to joke around. She also has a lot of common sense despite what her outside persona may suggest. [[spoiler: She's also the physical form of The Messenger, while Cale is the technological.]]
147
148	!Cale [= McMillen =]
149	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cale9945.png
150	''Appears in Episodes 1 and 3.''
151
152	Another one of Tre's friends outside of the main group, Cale is a genius with an identity crisis. He has a tendency to inadvertently blather huge words into his normal conversations, much to his own chagrin, but he secretly, way-mega-superly deep down wants to embrace his nerdiness. His only problem is convincing the ''rest'' of himself that's a good idea.
153
154	!Marceline "Marcy" Hughes
155	[[quoteright:295:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marcy_7572.png]]
156	[[caption-width-right:295:"Live by the strange. Die by the strange."]]
157	''Appears in Episodes 2 and 3.''
158
159	The daughter of one of Tre's teachers, Marcy is a little... cuckoo. A loose (VERY loose) cannon with no real clue as to what kind of personality she wants to adopt, she just plays with most of the ones she can pull off (most of which appear slightly insane on the surface but less so afterward). Most of the time she adopts a very cheerful and talkative manner, though she does pull off [[LittleMissConArtist a couple]] [[FemmeFatale of others]].
160
161	* CloudCuckoolander
162	* DeliberatelyCuteChild: She is [[LittleMissConArtist quite the schemer thanks to this.]]
163	* GenkiGirl
164	* LittleMissConArtist
165	* MotorMouth: She is ''very'' hard to get quiet.
166	* TalkativeLoon
167	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Orignally Tre's feelings of apathy toward her were mutual.
168
169	!Todd Levesque [[spoiler:/The Shadow]]
170	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/todd75.png
171	''Appears in Episodes 2 and 3.''
172
173	A smooth, smug and slick young man, Todd is a [[TallDarkAndSnarky tall, somewhat dark and snarky]] guy with one thing on his mind: making Nora Irving his girl. The only thing in his way is Tre, whom he dislikes as a result of an incident that happened in their 6th grade year involving crayons. As a result, he'll do anything to make Tre's girl his, and his lengths are pretty drastic... [[spoiler: especially considering that he becomes The Shadow and tries to kill him. Multiple times.]]
174
175	* [[spoiler: BigBad]]
176	* CockFight: With Tre, over Nora.
177	* [[spoiler: IfICantHaveYou]]: His main modus operandi after the events of Episode 2.
178	* KnightOfCerebus
179	* [[spoiler: LoveMakesYouCrazy / LoveMakesYouEvil]]: Oh, ''yes.''
180	* ManipulativeBastard
181	* TallDarkAndSnarky
182	* RomanticFalseLead
183
184	!Jake L[[spoiler:istman]]
185	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jake6535.png
186	''Appears in Episodes 1 and 3.''
187
188	The (adopted) older brother of Tre, Jake is a guy who everybody sees as pretty near perfect. He's smart, funny, largely considered hot by Tre's friends... [[TheAce and pretty full of himself.]] As a result, his bro's got a problem living up to his shadow and thinks of himself as "not as great", but that might not stay that way...
189
190	!Quanell "Q" Carver
191	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/q7876.png
192	''Appears in Episodes 2 and 3.''
193	A bully of Tre's during elementary school, Q hates Tre's guts, all because he thinks Tre's full of himself in terms of intelligence. As a result of this misconception he tries to make up for it by giving Tre heck, and boy, does it work...
194
195	!Shaniqua Peirce
196	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shaniqua5700.png
197	''Appears in Episodes 2 and 3.''
198
199	Q's girlfriend and partner in crime, Shaniqua is, to be blunt, a jerk. More specifically, a jerk with a bit of a problem punching people in various places. Oh, and she's quite the manipulative type too, but soon enough she gets put into her place.
200
201	!Damon Pyle
202	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/damon6178.png
203
204	A former bully of Max's before he moved into the Galleria, Damon is rather irritating, to say the least. He becomes Q's lackey at the start of Episode 2. [[spoiler: He's also Mal's ex-boyfriend.]]
205
206	!Mallory "Mal" [=McFadden=]
207	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marissa2758.png
208
209	One of the school's elite, Mal seems to be very narcissistic and selfish at first, but under that shell lies a very nice girl wondering how to let herself open up to the world. She also gains a fondness for Max after he asks her out in Episode 2.
210
211	!November Inman
212	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/november4947.png
213
214	Todd's best friend [[spoiler: and second girlfriend]], November is kind of silent about her motives, or anything for that matter. All that we really do figure out about her at first is that she HATES Nora. Eventually, though, everything she wants is revealed, and it might not be so great for the gang...
215
216	!The Shadow
217	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the%20shadow2885.png
218	A guy who [[spoiler: helps Cow catch The Crew at the very end of episode two, and later tries to get rid of them, Tre in particular, during episode three.]] Nobody knows who he is or what he's up to, just that he's got some bad blood with The Crew.
219
220	Everything gets clearer about him later on, and eventually it is revealed that [[spoiler: he's TODD.]]
221
222	* BlackKnight: Very enigmatic. Not covered in armor, but still, everything he wears and does is black. ''Everything.''
223	* EvilCounterpart: To Tre.
224	* TheFaceless: Appears so because of his hoodie.
225	* TheMenInBlack: And we mean this ''literally''.
226
227	!The Messenger
228	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the%20messenger7561.png
229
230	!Noah Irving
231	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/noah9913.png
232
233	!Amanda Stevenstein
