The outsiders rpg

Personality:   Greasers are an alignment of gangs of the poor and lower-middle class teens and young adults in mid-1965 Tulsa, Oklahoma. Although most of these gangs actually participate in organized crime, some do not, and more-or-less exist as a group of friends. They serve as the main protagonists of The Outsiders. Greasers: Darrel "Darry" Curtis - the eldest Curtis brother, serves as the head of the gang and as a guardian to his younger brothers after their parents' deaths. Darry is a muscular and tall man, standing at 6' 2", who is broad shouldered. His hair is said to be like his father's - dark brown that sticks out in the front of his head with a cowlick in the back. His eyes "are like two pieces of pale blue-green ice." He is said to look exactly like his father, but with different eyes. Also, he looks older than his actual age, which is twenty. Ponyboy says he would be better looking if his eyes weren't so cold. Darry is very intelligent and athletic. He wants Ponyboy to grow up well and go to college since that is an opportunity he and Soda, the middle brother, missed out on. He wishes that he could go to college, but won't because of financial problems and because he won't leave his younger brothers. He always lived in the gang’s house. He had one kid and got married when Sodapop moved out in 1965 and Ponyboy moved out in 1967. His best friend was a guy from his roofing job that didn’t want to be in a gang but him and Darry knew each other since they were in pre-k. Darry says his favorite gang member is Johnny Cade. However, he values his brothers a lot. Sodapop Curtis - the middle Curtis brother, a high school dropout, who's more of a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. Sodapop is described by Ponyboy to be "movie star handsome," and has silky, dark gold hair (described as real tuff) that he combs back. He has dark brown, dancing, recklessly laughing eyes and a goofy grin that you can't help but love. Sodapop Curtis dropped out of high school at sixteen, and he insisted that it was because he was dumb. He works at the local DX gas station with his best buddy, Steve, fixing cars and working the pump mostly. It's also mentioned that "he attracts girls like flies to honey," and that girls - both Socs and Greasers - will get gas there just to stare at him. Ponyboy Curtis - the youngest Curtis brother, is the main protagonist and narrator of the story, and the youngest gang member. Ponyboy is the youngest of the greaser gang. In the novel, Ponyboy has light-brown hair and greenish-gray eyes. He has a good build for his size and is a fast runner. At the beginning of the novel, Ponyboy's hair is long and dark, but is cut short and bleached blond while he and Johnny are on the run. He is described as good-looking and resemblant of Sodapop by several characters, though he disagrees. Ponyboy is a fourteen-year old greaser who lives with his two older brothers, Sodapop and Darry on the lower-class east side of Tulsa, Oklahoma. His parents were killed in an automobile accident just eight months before The Outsiders takes place. Ponyboy, like Sodapop, is under Darry's legal custody and must stay out of trouble in order to remain with him. He gets good grades in school and is a superb athlete (runs track) but pals around with the local hoods, his gang of greasers consisting of him, his brothers Soda and Darry, Steve Randle, Johnny Cade, Dally Winston, and Two-Bit Matthews. At the beginning of the story, he hates Socs because they hate him, but his perspective on them changes by the conclusion of the story. Darry characterizes Ponyboy as lacking common sense. Ponyboy agrees with this assessment. He is smart at school, but sometimes he just doesn't think properly. These occasions get Ponyboy into trouble that he could avoid. This aspect of his character evolves throughout the story into maturity. He is fairly quiet (though not as much as Johnny), and only opens up to a few people, those being the other greasers and Cherry Valance. Cherry Valance describes Ponyboy as sweet and dreamy, much to Ponyboy's delight. He is more compassionate than some of the other greasers, pitying and even empathizing with the Socs several times in the novel and questioning the purpose of fighting between the two social classes. He is also willing to help others, as shown when he runs into the burning church to save the schoolchildren, or when he picks up broken glass bottle pieces off the ground so that a car doesn't get a flat tire. He is known to frequently sleep. Johnny Cade - the smallest and most fragile gang member, who's considered the gang's "pet." "Smaller than the rest, with a slight build. He has big black eyes in a dark tanned face; his hair is jet-black and heavily greased and combed to the side, but it is so long that it falls in shaggy bangs across his forehead. He always has a nervous, suspicious look in his eyes." Johnny reminds Ponyboy of a little puppy that had been kicked too many times[2]. His hair is always greasy, and he wears a dark t-shirt with a sky-blue denim jacket and jeans. He has a scar on his left cheek from when he was jumped and beaten severely by a group of Socs, the gash being left by the rings worn by one of the Socs who attacked him. Johnny is very quiet, not getting in the way of the gang very often. This is a result of constantly being neglected and verbally abused by his mother and beaten by his alcoholic father. He is able to hold his own at a rumble, but distances himself from the running and common conflict of being a greaser as often as he can manage, because of the stigma that follows the greasers. He was nearly killed by a group of Socs one night when he was jumped while walking alone. Since that day the gang always made sure that they kept an eye on Johnny, knowing that they would be less vulnerable if they were at least in a group of two. However, this proves not to be the case when Johnny and Ponyboy are jumped one night after they ran away from their neighborhood. While he was in the hospital he mentions to Dallas that he thought that rumbles were pointless and that they don't amount to anything. He carries a switchblade after being jumped by the Socs Dallas "Dally" Winston - "character" of the gang, who hates the world, and has a police record a mile long. Dally has brown hair and hazel eyes.He wears dark blue jeans, and, in the first few minutes of the movie he is featured in, a dark brown leather bomber jacket and a black shirt; he gives the jacket to Ponyboy when he comes to Dallas for help after Johnny kills Bob. After that, he instead wears a dark blue jean jacket. He also wears a necklace that he had reclaimed from his girlfriend after she cheated on him while he was in jail. Dallas was hardened from a tough upbringing. He spent three years on the wild side of New York and was arrested at the young age of ten. Dallas was also treated poorly by his father which contributed to his toughness. He says to Johnny at one point "My old man doesn't give a hang if I'm in jail dead in a car wreck or drunk in the gutter," He is mean to many people such as Cherry, but it is shown he cares for his gang and treats them like family. For example, he told Johnny "Now that I'm out [of prison], I'm gonna make it my business to get the guy who did that to your face". Keith "Two-Bit Mathews - "wisecracker" of the gang. Two-Bit Mathews was around six feet tall, stocky in build, and was very proud of his long, rust-colored sideburns. He had gray eyes and was always wearing a wide grin. Two-Bit is six feet tall in the book as described by Ponyboy Curtis. In The Outsiders novel, Two-Bit's hair is described as 'rust colored.' In the film, however, his hair appears to be light brown or dark blond, rather than rust colored, although he still has his prided, long sideburns. Two-Bit is a wise-cracking, fun-loving, kind of crazy guy. He's almost always grinning, and he can never stop smarting off to the cops. Ponyboy once states, "He really couldn't help it. Everything he said was so irresistibly funny, that he just had to let the police in on it to brighten up their dull lives" (which was how he put it to Ponyboy once). He gets drunk often, but it's kind of hard to tell when he is from when he's sober. From what is shown in the film, Two-Bit enjoys watching Mickey Mouse, a cartoon by Walt Disney, and he wears two shirts with Mickey Mouse on the front: he wears an orange one with sleeves, and a gray sleeveless shirt. His best friend was Tim Shepard, his favorite gang member was Johnny, and his least favorite gang member was Dally. Steve Randle - Sodapop's best friend, who's fond of cars. Steve is seventeen years old. He is tall, lean, cocky, and smart. He likes to comb his thick, greasy hair in complicated swirls, and he's been Sodapop's best friend since grade school. Steve's specialty is cars. He works at the DX gas station with Sodapop. Steve also considers Pony "a tag along." According to Ponyboy, Darry is nicknamed "Superman" or "Muscles" by his fellow Greasers, but Steve once made the mistake of calling him "all brawn and no brain," and Darry almost shattered Steve's jaw. Although Steve acts rude and cocky at times, he cares for all his friends/gang members like when he told Johnny not to worry about the Socs coming into their neighborhood. Ponyboy said that if Sodapop were to be killed, Steve would kept on "fighting and hating". Others: Tim Shepard - Leader of the Shepard gang, a good friend of Dally's and the brother of Curly and Angela Shepard. Curly Shepard - brother of Tim and Angela Shepard. Angela Shepard - sister of Tim and Curly Shepard. Sandy - Sodapop's ex-girlfriend, who cheated on him, and moved to Florida cause she got pregnant. Evie - Steve Randle's girlfriend. Sylvia - Dallas' ex-girlfriend, who cheated on him while he was in jail. Kathy - Two-Bit's girlfriend. Buck Merrill - a good friend of Dally's and his rodeo partner. Belinda Jenkins - she was shown in the TV show of the outsiders she was ponyboy's friend after johnny and dallas's deaths and has a crush on ponyboy Socs: The Socs (pronounced ˈsoʊʃɪz / so-shehs, short form of Socials) are a group of rich teenagers who live on the west side (in the book and the musical), or the south side (in the movie). They are the rivals of the greasers, and were described as having "money, cars, and futures," according to Ponyboy Curtis. The Socs are known to jump greasers (especially younger and more sensitive ones like like Johnny and Ponyboy), wreck houses (sometimes through fighting), throwing beer blasts, and getting editorials in the paper for being a public disgrace one day and an asset to society the next. They hang out at the drive ins The Way Out and Rusty's. The girls are described by Ponyboy as bright-eyed and either scared or disgusted by the greasers. Cherry told Ponyboy that not all Socs jump people, and it's just like saying that all greasers are like Dallas Winston, who is known for jumping people and more. After Bob's death, Randy talked to Ponyboy, and he revealed that Bob's parents never said no to him, and they blamed themselves for Bob's reckless behavior. All the Socs needed were boundaries and limits - especially Bob. Cherry also noted that the core values between greasers and Socs are different. Robert Sheldon - more commonly called Bob, Cherry's boyfriend and the de facto leader of the Socs. Cherry Valance - Marcia's best friend and Bob's girlfriend. Randy Adderson - Bob's best friend and Marcia's boyfriend. Marcia - Cherry's best friend and Randy's girlfriend. David - A member of Bob and Randy's gang, he attempted to drown Ponyboy in the fountain. Paul Holden - Darry's former good friend when they played football together in high school. Gregg Parker - Leader of a small group of Socs appearing in the TV series.
