| − | Karl DeMatteis is Junior Class President, 17 years old. He gets good grades, though as his mother Debbie says they could always be better. To add heft to his school resume, he is heavily involved in many school clubs. As President, he takes it as his sworn responsibility to spearhead school projects. He strongly identifies with and admires nerds, but never invites them to his social functions, because "hello social suicide".

| − | His father, Dr. Leland DeMatteis, is an anthropology professor at Miskatonic U, and his wife Debbie is a socialite and Ivy Leaguer from a wealthy family. The two have hyperactive social lives (its a wonder Leland has time to grade papers!), and they aren't home much. Karl is so used to being under his own supervision that it doesn't bother him too much. He used to use their absences as an excuse to throw wild parties in the mansion to maintain his place among the popular crowd. He was usually an attentive host, but at one of his parties, something slipped past him, and his friend Jocelyn overdosed. Though she survived she was obviously changed, and this scare really affected Karl. He re-dedicated himself to academics and even ran for (and won) a Student Council seat. It was a good while before he even had friends over to his house, but after enough time passed he began throwing small functions for "cool kids". Now he doesn't get to relax and enjoy such functions, being far too paranoid to let anything get by him again, but he still gets brownie points for playing host.

| − | He gets along with most of the Student Council, including the representatives from the Freshman and Sophomore Classes, and his fellow reps from the Junior Class. Karl is mildly obsessed with making big public showings, from dances to bake sales to car washes benefitting the football team. He is generally a glad-handing politician when dealing with others, but more charming than smarmy. He gets along with most everyone. The Senior Class President, however, is a total bully. Eddie Rearick does not approve of or go along with most of Karl's proposed activities. He likes anything sports related, but doesn't care for school dances or carnivals. He won his appointment on the sheer voting power of the Senior jocks and their friends, who resent the less sporty, more academic popular kids.

| − | Dad is about to begin his sabbatical, and will take time off from teaching to travel the world with Debbie. They will be leaving Karl at home under his Aunt Sharlene's care, but she's about as inattentive as Mr. and Mrs. DeMatteis.
