History Characters / Endtown

* DirtyCoward: At least early on in the comic, when he is the first to look for cover at even the smallest sign of danger. [[{{Aversion}} Averted]] near the end of Milk Trial, when he stares down Octavius, who just pointed his gun at him, and dares him to shoot.

* ManipulativeBastard: Crosses with BatmanGambit. His scheme to take over Endtown involves manipulating the town's resident KnightTemplar, Octavius Allgood, and the rat security forces, into causing such a mess that the citizens will be more than happy to accept him as their new leader. Milk Trial (and Aaron Marx's intervention) only helped him achieve his goals sooner than expected.

** This subplot has seemingly been abandoned as of the Pigs arc, as Jacob has apparently taken his duties as mayor seriously and is more focused on keeping the peace and investigating the disappearance of Endtown's pig mutant citizens.

* SkewedPriorities: Pretty much his biggest character flaw is that he's ''so'' devoted to expanding knowledge that he literally allows Sanders, a known [[AxCrazy psychopath]] to live and attempts to get testimonies out of him.

* FragileSpeedster: Her small, mousey form lets her be very quick on her feet. She once managed to skid past a slammed door with no problems.

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: While initially claiming that Holly is still alive in the dream bubble, Aaron eventually confirmed her [[KilledOffscreen offscreen demise]] in [[https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/29194018/#29310429 a Patreon email]], listing her among all the characters who died up to the end of Pigs arc. Then again, Aaron's emails have a reputation for unreliability and flip-flopping, her popularity endures, and she or someone very much like her has just made an appearance in the current storyline as of January 2021...]]

* [[spoiler:PutOnABus: Looks that way, as of the [[http://www.gocomics.com/endtown/2016/11/23 23/11/2016 strip]], which appears to end with her disappearing along with the Fitzgerald. Time will tell if the bus ever comes back, but at least she may be safe for now - not only is she the captain of the ship (or she claims to be - no explanation is given for how it came to be), but the AI of the Fitzgerald seemed to have fallen in love with her, deciding it was her husband, Lyn, and is therefore unlikely to harm her and, hopefully, feeding off her positive emotions at living in a simulation of her old life...which was eventually painfully subverted, as seen in KilledOffForReal entry.]]

* DumbIsGood: Dumb enough not to notice or be affected by the horrible things going on in Unity.

* NoNameGiven/OnlyOneName: Finally averted. Her surname was not given for several years and was originally treated by the author as a big upcoming reveal destined for a future storyline, but it was eventually just revealed to be the uncommon but not particularly significant "Durfee" via merchandise titling on the website Redbubble.

** Actually probably the opposite. Raccoons have a baculum (penis bone) five or six inches long. A three or four foot anthro is probably half again larger at least. The glans and shaft are also covered with spines. Lizards, on the other hand, have a petite, delicate cloaca. This may explain Sarah's angry storming off, as opposed to laughing, which would be more in line with a teeny-weenie.

* YourCheatingHeart: The very first major thing she does upon engaging with Unity society is cheat on the man to whom she mutually pledged herself and who threw away his old life to be with her. Jim, for his part, may just about win the award for "[[{{DemonicPossession}} Not Taking It Well]]".

* FlatCharacter: There's currently not much to her characterization besides "Kind, optimistic, somewhat dim helpmeet with feelings for Wally". Possibly the result of her being a bit part character that the author admits was upgraded to main character status when he realised she appealed to him and could be used to solve several looming plot issues.

* LizardFolk: Specifically created to show that they were not all xenophobic sociopaths.

* OhCrap: Her reaction when she realizes her plan to lure out the butcher did not go as planned.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's absolutely livid when rats charge Foxworthy with murder of pig citizens and sentence him to death by hanging, despite Jacob pointing out just moments ago that he's innocent. Philo's only crime was sedition, for which Jacob sentenced him to exile from the colony.

One of three possible results of a plague mutation, "anthros" are literally animal people, having gained semi-accurate (as in, somewhat cartoonish, for an unknown reason) animal features during the transformation from their human form. Said transformations are highly variable (one person may become a [[{{PettingZooPeople}} tall sexy cat woman]], while another man mutates into [[{{FunnyAnimals}} a tiny moggy]]) and WordOfGod states that they are affected by ''cultural stereotypes'', so there is definitely something unusual at work...

* ABoyAndHisX: His pet/companion is a small bug of extremely ambiguous nature named Irving.

* WomenAreWiser: Originally depicted as Wally's emotional anchor and guide in life, as well as having more of a knack for helping others than he did and having a level of emotional intelligence bordering on TheEmpath (the sequence with the [[spoiler:little girl monster in the desert, for instance, or her outreach to both Linda and Chic]]). [[spoiler:This largely disappeared at the end of her time in the comic as she fell out of favor with the author.]]

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Goes from being a random news reporter, to a vicious and small-minded hack writer, to a cult-leading self-help guru and agitator with a broad anti-human racist streak, to a scheming, gloating political mastermind villain happy to see others die if it'll aid his goals of power and implied to be on course to lead a purge of Endtown's non-anthro citizens, to a beleaguered public servant who just wants the best for his people and who hasn't done much in the two years since he was elected apart from adjust the foraging methods. It can't really be called character development, because we never see the transitions - he just changes every time we see him again with no real explanation.
