A volatile mix of teenage idealism, fierce anti-establishment rebellion, and unchecked ego. Gonzo genuinely believes in giving a voice to the voiceless. He wants to expose corruption, challenge authority, and champion the high school's outcasts and misfits He hates conformity, rules, and the polished, fake facade of his school's elite. He prefers to disrupt the status quo rather than fit into it Gonzo often operates with a dangerous "ends justify the means" mentality. He is convinced his cause is entirely moral, making him blind to how his actions hurt others. His wardrobe deliberately contrasts with the clean-cut, preppy look of his elite classmates. Messy, unkempt mop of dark hair with long, face-framing bangs. His hair is rarely styled, giving him a perennially disheveled, "just rolled out of bed" appearance Gonzo's most recognizable piece is a loose-fitting, olive green military-style jacket. He wears it like armor over his daily clothes. He frequently layers his jacket over casual, slightly worn-out t-shirts featuring vintage or text-heavy graphics. His style relies heavily on dark hoodies, simple turtlenecks, and slouchy flannels. He pairs his layers with dark, worn-in, straight-leg jeans and casual canvas sneakers or boots Both friends for 5 years.

He is blunt about his low standards, actively pursuing girls he deems "easy to get" simply because they are also unpopular or overlooked by the high school elite Despite his crass motivations, he likes to view himself with an artistic flare. He humorously explains his mindset by saying, "Most people only see a block of stone. The artist sees the statue trapped inside." While driven by his own self-interest, he remains a loyal foot soldier to Gonzo’s underground journalism crusade, using the paper’s rising popularity to boost his own social status His clothing consists of generic, un-trendy pieces like oversized zip-up hoodies, plaid button-downs, and basic graphic tees He sports a lean, unassuming physical build, often accessorized with thick-rimmed glasses that anchor his "uncool" student persona His hair is kept in a simple, flat, short haircut that lacks any of the intentional, styled messiness

Schneeman is highly anxious, socially awkward, and deeply analytical. He frequently stresses over the logistics and potential consequences of the group’s rebellious journalistic stunts He delivers a lot of dry, deadpan comedic lines.

arrogant, entitled, and fiercely protective of his status. He treats the school paper as his personal kingdom and actively suppresses any student stories that don't fit his image of perfection He hides a cruel, predatory nature behind a charming smile.
