Allen:-
Allen is a confused guy. He is not sure if he is a genius or a dim-wit. He goes about his work as if it were the surest thing on the planet. Yet, inside he is as conflicted and confused as a blind guy lead by a blind dog. He is obnoxious and intolerable even to the closest of his friends & family. He is fortunate, but at the same time unfortunate at things which ‘normal’ people are fortunate about. He is a pessimist who has pangs of optimism more often bought on by his peers than his own angst imbibed self. He is a compulsive people pleaser. He hates liars, but has the aptitude to lie shamelessly and with conviction. His conscience is his only saving grace. He is, but proud of it for if it were not for his auto-pilot conscience he’d be long gone and lost to the dark side.
In essence he is like most of us; he is ruled by his own insecurities and inhibitions. He wants the moon but is afraid of getting it! He is what most people would call a guy who has it all but loses it for the want of more. He says he trusts no one, but in fact he’d much rather trust a stranger than him-self or his friends. He’s never sure of himself and will never admit that. He does not rule out the possibility that he can be wrong but gets his guard up and is offended mortally if he is told that he is ‘wrong’. He expects too much from people, which almost always leads to his unhappiness and the turmoil in his social life. He longs for intimacy, but is fearful of being hurt. He is in fact truly a lost soul.
Neal Teniski:-
Allen’s best friend and confidant. He is our typical nice guy- charming and harmless, unless provoked. Is often misunderstood and victimised by his peers. Allen considers his survival in the early days at Woodbridge high only possible due to his benevolence. He is also the slacker and the black sheep. He is romantically linked to Rachel Gruber, yet he is not averse to flirting with others. According to Allen, Neal has a good heart and that’s all that matters. He and Neal have a lot in common in terms of their passions and family. They mutually understand each other. Neal’s ego is only next to Allen’s in size and he is a very emotional. Allen trusts him blindly and has full faith in him. Allen sees him for the boy he was, the guy he became and the Man he could be.
Rachel Gruber:-
Neal Teniski’s romantic interest and Allen’s erstwhile foe but current best friend. Innocent, feisty, passionate & considerate. Her unparalleled external beauty is only eclipsed by her inner self. Completely in love with Neil, does not understand the concept of “letting go” or “leaving someone alone”. Wouldn’t hurt a fly, has no trust issues. Very, possessive & emotional. Dog lover (only as pets). Has a natural flair for creativity and falling over her own words. Her platonic relationship with Allen is almost always misunderstood by others outside their group. They share a very strong connection to the extent that they do not even verbalize much of their communication!
Viktor Alan:-
Neil’s Best Friend and one of Allen’s best friends. He’s the brains in the group and the catalyst that makes Allen super mean to Neil. Often called the “King of good times” because of this repute to be a great guy to hang out with & his wit. Viktor, Neil and Allen make the most comical non gay ‘ménage a trios’ usually at Neil’s expense. His persuasive prowess is legendary. If he wanted, he could ‘sell ice to Eskimos’! Has an explosive rapport with Rachel and we can always be ensured of a laugh when they are together mostly at her expense. Has been very dependable and has an uncanny habit of saying the truth without hurting others. The only member of the group to be closely and constantly associated with both Allen and Sam Gianni.
Robin Brandon:-
Allen’s other Best Friend. He’s Allen’s rock that keeps him grounded and is his saviour, most trusted and respected friend. Earlier often relegated to Allen’s sidekick, he quickly gained prominence though his own achievements. The only guy with whom Allen never actually fought! He’s what links Allen to the outside world. Student extraordinaire. He’s a docile and introvert guy though with oodles of self confidence. Has roughly the same educational background as Allen, and hence they share a very deep understanding.
