Clay Kids

Flippy is a troublemaker who doesn't like to study and goes to school only because he has no other choice. He's got his parents completely fooled into thinking he gets good grades. He wears the latest fashion and likes to think of himself as popular, attractive and funny. Thinks of himself as a rapper.

Motor is a physically challenged (left side paralysed) boy who moves around in a motorized wheelchair. It seems like he's always at odds with the world. Manners and etiquette are not his strong points and he's often rude (though not malicious). Collaborates with Flippy on hip hop projects, is a gamer with Flippy and Robbie.

Carol is very intelligent and stubborn, painfully aware of how cruel and unjust the world is and committed to leftist political activism. She's a good student and very responsible, and also tidy and fussy with her things; as a result she's not popular with her classmates.

Robbie is a boy who is repeating the grade for the third time. He's the oldest in the class, although academically, you wouldn't think so. Street smart and cunning.

Naomi is materialistic and judges people for what they have or what she can get out of them. Although she looks like a little angel who is always willing to help her neighbour, there is something really machiavellian about her. She is always scheming to better her position.

Jessi is 13-year-old surrealist who is very naïve and innocent, like Phoebe from Friends but without the selfish streak. Her classmates think she's weird because she doesn't go by the general rules like the rest of humankind. She's a very loving and loyal friend. Loves to skateboard, gets along well with everyone.

Albert is a nerd. Way more intellectual than any of the others, lover of poetry and art. People tend to make fun of him because he's a little feeble and quite eccentric in his tastes.

Frank is Carol's father, the owner and manager of the Cyber Cafe. A late-thirty-something who wishes he was still a teenager. Likes computer games and tries to stay down with the kids, to Carol's intense embarrassment. Always trying to use teen slang but never getting it right.

Ms Henderson is the teacher. Mid-twenties and totally out of her depth in class, she's earnest and very dedicated to teaching but is clueless when it comes to keeping control. She also has a short temper and is called in the fandom as "The Beauty Teacher" or "Miss Bangalot" because of her looks.
