Since this is based on a general idea of the book and movie The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, naturally, there are a few cannon characters.
Ponyboy Curtis
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Clique: Outcast/Outsider
Portrayed By: C. Thomas Howell
Status: Taken
Attitude: He's the fourteen-year-old, and the youngest of the greasers. Ponyboy’s literary interests and academic accomplishments set him apart from the rest of his gang. Because his parents have died in a car accident, Ponyboy lives with his brothers Darry and Sodapop. Darry repeatedly accuses Ponyboy of lacking common sense, but Ponyboy is a reliable and observant guy. Throughout his life so far, Ponyboy struggles with class division, violence, innocence, and familial love. He matures over the course of the years, eventually realizing the importance of strength in the face of class bias.
Darrell "Darry" Curtis
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Clique: Outsider(though if his parents hadn't died, he'd be a soc.)
Portrayed By: a young Patrick Swayze
Status: Available
Attitude: Darrell has been taking care of the family ever since Mr. and Mrs. Curtis died in a car wreck. A judge allows the brothers to stay together under twenty-year-old Darry's supervision—so long as they stay out of trouble. Rather than go to college on a football scholarship, Darry has to go to work in order to keep the three together and Pony in school. He has had to give up a lot and has become an adult too fast. "Darry's hard and firm and rarely grins at all." A big and powerful young man, Darry has "eyes that are like two pieces of pale blue-green...
Sodapop Curtis
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Clique: Outsider/Drop-Out
Portrayed By: Rob Lowe
Status: Taken
Attitude: Ponyboy’s happy-go-lucky, handsome brother. Sodapop is the middle Curtis boy. Ponyboy envies Sodapop’s good looks and charm. Sodapop plans to marry Sandy, a greaser girl, until she moves away, because it turns out she became pregnant with another guy's child. Sodapop is always the middleman in his family, trying to keep Darry and Ponyboy from fighting, until it makes him so down, that he can hardly deal with it anymore, especially when asked to take sides.
Johnny Cade
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Clique: Outsider/Drop-Out
Portrayed By: Ralph Macchio
Status: Taken
Attitude: Johnny is a vulnerable sixteen-year-old greaser in a group defined by toughness and a sense of invincibility. He comes from an abusive home, and he takes to the greasers because they are his only reliable family. While Johnny needs the greasers, the greasers also need Johnny, for protecting him gives them a sense of purpose and justifies their violent measures. When Johnny, little and vulnerable, suffers at the hands of the Socs, the greasers feel justified in their hatred of the rival gang.
Dallas Winston
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Clique: Outsider/Drop-Out
Portrayed By: Matt Dillon
Status: Taken
Attitude: "The real character of the gang," Dally was arrested his first time at the age of ten. He spent three years on the "wild side" of New York and likes to blow off steam in gang fights. He is the most dangerous member of the bunch—not even Darry wants to tangle with him—but he is still a part of their greaser "family." The local police have a large file on him, and he has just gotten out of jail. While "the fight for self-preservation had hardened him beyond caring," there are two things that have meaning for him; jockeying on ponies (the "only thing Dally did without cheating,) and then there's Johnny.
Two-Bit Matthews (his real name is Keith)
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Clique: Outsider/Drop-Out
Portrayed By: Emilio Estevez
Status: Taken
Attitude: He has been known as "Two-Bit" for so long that even his teachers have forgotten that his real name is Keith. Two-Bit is the joker of the gang, always smiling and cracking jokes. Like Sodapop, he lives for action and fun. Though nearly 19 years old, Two-Bit is still a junior in high school because he finds school "entertaining." With his long sideburns and deep grey eyes, Two-Bit is known as both a shoplifter and a ladies' man, though he is not perceived to be as good-looking as Sodapop. He loves fighting, his stolen black-handled switchblade, blondes, and flirting. He flirts with Marcia, even though he knows that she is the girlfriend of a Soc.
Steve Randle
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Clique: Outsider/Drop-Out
Portrayed By: Tom Cruise
Status: Available
Attitude: Sodapop’s best friend since grade school. Steve is a seventeen-year-old greaser who works with Sodapop at the gas station. Steve knows everything about cars and specializes in stealing hubcaps. He is thingyy and intelligent, tall and lean. He wears his thick hair in a complicated arrangement of swirls. He is also tough—he once held off four opponents in a fight with a broken soda bottle. He sees Ponyboy as Sodapop’s annoying kid brother and wishes Ponyboy would not tag along so often.
Sherry "Cherry" Valance
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Clique: Social
Portrayed By: Diana Lane
Status: Available
Attitude: Cherry gets along perfectly well with some of the greasers. She likes Ponyboy and Johnny because they treat her politely. Dally’s rude antics do not amuse her. Her disenchantment with Dally’s behavior suggests that she talks to Ponyboy and Johnny not because she is slumming and their greaser identity fascinates her, but rather because she likes them as individuals. For a short while at least, she cares more about how each boy behaves than about his West Side or East Side address. Cherry is not just a sweet, simple girl. She finds herself attracted to Dally, who is crass and unrefined but also sexy and charismatic. Despite all her attraction to the greasers, moreover, she is not completely free of group prejudice. She tells Ponyboy she probably will not say hello to him at school, acknowledging that she respects social divisions.
Marcia
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Clique: Social
Portrayed By: Leighton Meester
Status: Available
Attitude: Cherry’s friend and Randy’s girlfriend. Marcia is a pretty, dark-haired Soc who befriends Two-Bit at the drive-in. Marcia and Two-Bit share a sense of humor and a taste for nonsensical musings.
Randy Adderson
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Clique: Social
Portrayed By: Chace Crawford
Status: Available
Attitude: Marcia’s boyfriend and Bob’s best friend. Randy is a handsome Soc who eventually sees the futility of fighting. Along with Cherry, Randy humanizes the Socs by showing that some of them have redeeming qualities. Randy helps Ponyboy realize that Socs are as susceptible to pain as anyone else. Randy tries to make peace with Ponyboy after Ponyboy saves the children from the fire, and he refuses to fight in the Soc-greaser rumble.
Bob Sheldon
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Clique: Social
Portrayed By: Leonardo Dicaprio
Status: Available
Attitude: Cherry’s boyfriend. Bob is the dark-haired Soc who beat up Johnny. Bob has a set of three heavy rings, which he wears when he fights greasers. Bob’s indulgent parents have never disciplined him because they think he's a perfect angel.
Paul Holden

Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Clique: Social

Status: Available
Attitude: The leader of another band of greasers and a friend of Dally. Tim and Dally respect each other, despite occasional conflicts. Ponyboy thinks of Tim as an alley cat, hungry and restless. Tim and Ponyboy meet the night of the rumble, when his gang sides with Ponyboy’s. Ponyboy sees Shepard’s gang as real street hoods and criminals, and realizes that his own gang is little more than a group of friends fighting to survive.

Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Clique: Outsider/Drop-Out
Portrayed By: Pete Wentz
Status: Available
Attitude: The fifteen-year-old brother of Tim Shepard. Curly is stubborn and rough. He could not go to the rumble because he was put in a reformatory for six months after robbing a liquor store. Tim is proud of Curly’s criminal record.
