Main Characters
Tommy Dawkins
The main character of the show and most popular boy in his school. After he was bitten by a werewolf, he decides to use his powers for good, with the help of his friend Merton. Despite this, everyone sees the werewolf side of him as nothing more than a dangerous monster.- Big Eater: Wolf-like appetite.
- Can't Have Sex, Ever: Downplayed, as in if he gets too excited either by anger or passion, his werewolf transformation is triggered. So it's kind of hard to have relationship with someone who doesn't know or dig the werewolf look.
- Cool Kid-and-Loser Friendship: He's very cool, indeed, and he befriends the loser Merton.
- Cursed with Awesome: There are few drawbacks to his werewolf nature. He might as well say "Henshin" when he changes because that's when he starts fighting evil.
- In "Don't Fear The Reaper", he actually compares himself to Superman, but says his transformation is better because he doesn't have to run to a phone booth.
- Hero Protagonist: He's the show's protagonist who fights evil For Great Justice.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Everyone sees the werewolf side of him as nothing more than a dangerous monster.
- Lovable Jock: Star quarterback of the football team, fights evil with his werewolf abilities, and an all-around Nice Guy.
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Most werewolves Tommy comes across are inherently bloodthirsty monsters, and encourage him to be the same.
- Wonderful Werewolf: Tommy uses his werewolf-granted powers for good, though residents in the community see his werewolf side as nothing but a menace.
Merton Dingle
Tommy's best friend, ironically the least popular kid at the school. He is also his sidekick when it comes to Tommy being a hero.- Big Brother Instinct: Merton is fiercely protective of Becky, to the point of making a list of prospective boyfriends for her. Not that she appreciates his actions even a little.
- Character Tic: He loudly hyperventilates when frightened.
- Verbal Tic: Especially in Season 2, whenever Merton was discombobulated (electrocuted, knocked silly, or scared into fainting,) he would let out a strained "Daddy!" as he was getting helped back up.
- Cool Kid-and-Loser Friendship: The loser to Tommy's cool.
- Crazy-Prepared: Whatever supernatural phenomena comes to Pleasantville, you can bet that a book on it and a means to defeat it can be found in Merton's lair.
- Goth: He dresses mostly in black, is fascinated by the supernatural and the occult, and his bedroom is modeled after medieval dungeon.
- Lovable Coward: Yeah, not the bravest sidekick Tommy could want. He sometimes crosses into Lovable Dirty Coward territory when he tries to either run for it or strike a deal with the menace du jour.
- Nightmare Fetishist: A bit too into blood, elaborate deaths, and Body Horror, especially for Tommy's tastes.
- Perky Goth: "Perky-verging-on-Hyperactive goth" to be more specific.
- Proud to Be a Geek: He's proud of his occult knowledge and place on the school's honour roll, but not so much of being a social pariah.
- Secret-Keeper: Initially, he's the only one who knows that Tommy is the werewolf.
