[edit] Social Circles

The halls of Mephisto Prep- a petri dish of social Darwinism.

  • The Deadbeats- At the top of the evolutionary ladder, the Deadbeats, led by Drake Rippinngton, rule the school with a heavy dose of scare tactics. There are 4 members, 3 of which are Drake Rippinngton (a vampire), Karl Steinman, and Hank Palmer (A werewolf).
  • The Glindas- These witches push potions like amphetamines. Want to be thin? Need to ace a test? Feel like parting with your soul? The Glindas are one-stop shopping. They are led by Salamander Mugwort.
  • The Aberzombies- Undead kids who take non-conformity to such an extreme that they must conform to each other or be harshly ridiculed. (It is unknown but Dahlia may be part of this group)
  • The Lab Monkeys- Mad scientists who each could build a flux capacitor before their seventh birthday.
  • The Invertebrates- These spineless blobs will do anything because of peer pressure. (And I do mean anything...)
  • The Foreign Exchange- Kids from another planet, not another country
  • Phineas "Finney" Bleak -The Protagonist of the story and the only one not in a social circle. He is singled out because he is the only "normal" person in the school.
