I'll throw in my two cents when I'm not doing 73 different things atm.

Everyone at Bullworth is a douche to an extent. My reasoning on the choices is based on what each character says in every given circumstance. Anyways:

Non-clique: Trevor, I guess.
Bullies: After Russell, probably Tom.
Nerds: Cornelius, I suppose.
Preps: Parker. No question.
Greasers: After Johnny, Vance.
Jocks: Easily Bob. Then Casey, I'd say.
Dropouts: Leon, then Duncan.

Bullies:
Well, majority of them are pretty modest. I suppose that Tom and Ethan stick out the most in my mind, although I'll be honest and say I don't spend much time with the bullies and thus don't know a ton of dialogue from them.

Dropouts:
Hnnn...
I'm pretty much convinced that almost all of the townies can act like dickheads simply because of the label they're given. "You act like a jerk to us by calling us thugs/failures/what have you without even knowing us, then we'll be assholes right back at you" kind of thing. ughhowdoiexplainstuff
Really now, they're not all that bad... although I think this ties in with the "faux-meanness" I've given certain individuals...
TL;DR: I can't choose.

Greasers:
Johnny. He's never really done anything wrong to Jimmy. He only goes against Jimmy because Jimmy double-crossed him for no reason whatsoever other than Derby said to.

Jocks:
Um. Isn't Luis an okay dude...?
I don't. Really know what to say here. I also want to say Bo and Casey, although I can't think of any reasons why...

Nerds:
Melvin doesn't have much of a role in the game, so I don't really see him as being a huge dick to Jimmy. I haven't listened to all his audio files yet, but from the ones I have heard he sounds like a decent guy.
I kind of agree with Red that Cornelius is an okay dude. The only time I can think of him being an ass to Jimmy is when he tells him to "get lost" in some mission.

Non-clique:
Lance. Friendly, his taunts aren't super mean-spirited, and he's pretty much against all the bullying and crap going around.

Preps:
Parker. I'm not even going to explain myself here.


Now, about that faux-meanness I mentioned (also in the other thread), I feel that there's a handful of characters who simply put on a tough guy act. People such as Kirby and Bryce would fit the bill. I would elaborate more on this, but I can't be assed right now. I'm too tired.

^ A couple of comments:

- I said Bob, not Bo. Bo's a class-A douchebag, lol. Bob is EASILY the nicest guy out of all of the Jocks. And I find Luis's taunts more mean-spirited than Casey's.

- I'd defo say Ethan after Tom. But still, out of all of them, Russell is the nicest.

- I only say Cornelius over Melvin because his insults to Jimmy when he gets expelled (BUMPRF and TAUNPF) are less demeaning than Melvin's. Also, in that mission all the Nerds are being assholes to Jimmy, just because he listened to Earnest's advice on dealing with Mandy.

- I initially wanted to say Lance, but listen to his BIKESTF quotes. Pretty dick-ish. Trevor, on the other hand, is more concerned. Also, Lance buys into Gary's garbage, calling Jimmy "a manipulator" just because Gary said "it's all his fault". Trevor doesn't have a similar quote.

I know you said Bob and yes, he is the nicest. However, since he's not in the finalized game I don't count him. For Bo, I know that he doesn't like Jimmy at first and is a huge dick to him, but he'll start to reconsider towards the end of the game and tends to act wary around Jim. He also says something along the lines of, "Being a jock sucks because they're such a-holes," which makes me think Bo doesn't really like/want to be a part of their jerk nature.

With Russell I feel it's just a big case of "defeat means friendship." He's only nice to Jimmy once he's given a taste of his own medicine and taught to only bully those who deserve it. Obviously with Tom it's different. His dialogue tells us he doesn't enjoy bullying, and I think that him missing from basically all the missions during chapter one (thus not joining the other bullies in harassing other students) enforces this a little bit. Compare this to Russell, who clearly enjoys smashing heads together. *shrug*

As for Trevor and Lance, I don't know their dialogue that well. I just remember Lance talking about how he dislikes the bullying around the school and trying to talk people out of doing so (such as when he's insulted).

Sorry if I'm getting a few facts wrong here or whatever. :mellow:
I'm also in a rush to type this.

I agree that Russell is not particularly nice and is only nice because he was beaten at his own game. Tom and Ethan both have minimal participation in chapter 1, neither has any dialogue for it. Also I haven't listened to EVERYONE's dialogue so I might be missing some info.

Just because some characters fall for Gary's manupilation does not make them jerks it makes them really stupid.

Bullies: Covered it...

Townies: Duncan. There's no contest IMO. True all of them have a touch of assholeness simply because of the way society treats them but Duncan's clearly the nicest of them and the only one who dropped out due to excessive bullying.

Now he's simply giving back some of what he had to take for years but I can't say any of it is particularly mean spirited. Leon is alright maybe but the guy gets a kick out of being a delinquent and enjoys 'not having responsibility for his actions' because of his age.

Jocks: Obviously a jerk clique, but those who don't really want to be jerks but feel they have to be probably include Bo, Casey and Kirby.  Bo probably wins out only barely.

Greasers: Johnny I do suppose but he does have a lot of rage. I'd almost say Vance before him. Larry is just not very trusting and has confidence issues (maybe to do with his nickname...)

Nerds: Fatty I think. These guys are bigger jerks than the Jocks in some ways. Help me... help me... oh you helped me... now we don't need your help anymore jerk... Fatty might be disgusting in some ways but he doesn't seem too cruel right?

Preps: Parker. No contest.

Non-clique: Dunno enough but Lance and Trevor seem to be the most.

I've had thoughts on Gurney being one of the nicer dropouts. I don't remember his dialogue making him sound like huge douche. All he ever really does is talk about girls.

But for now I guess I'll stick with Duncan in terms of nicest.

I've thought about Fatty, too, as well as Bucky. They don't seem to have major dick moments in the game...

I am well aware of the above, and I do agree. But I also give lenience to Russell because he's mentally impaired.

Granted, it is odd how when he's beaten he seems to be confused as to why he should stop bullying weak kids, but when the cops come after him, he knows what will happen if he's caught. However, I know similarly impaired people IRL...they're just an odd bunch.

My main gripes with Bo are the following:

- "Friggin' Hopkins, man..." It's a CHATTER line...self-explanatory really. I dunno, it just seems to contradict his CONVG6 line. Oversight, maybe?
- His SUCKUP lines and how he says Goodbye to Jimmy.

I'll give him this, though: He's nicer in regards to BIKEST and BIKESTF quotes, and he takes defeat better than Casey.

Fatty and Bucky? Am I the only one who finds them the most obnoxious of all the Nerds?

I would say Bo is a jerk cause of bullworth's crappy nature. He also appreciates his education unlike a lot of other Jocks, maybe besides Luis.

I mean, How is Casey "nice" I never really pay attention to him. Any quotes that suggest he is nice?

When he's friendly, he's generally more pleasant than his fellow Jocks. Plus, most of his tone indicates that he's more so a tag-along like Kirby and Bo.

He isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he's not as dumb as some other characters.

I would say out of all the main Cliques, that Parker is the nicest then Tom (Excluding Nerds, Non-Cliques)

They have their annoying qualities but to me they aren't intentionally annoying which is really what counts IMO.
