Moral Orel Characters: Church and Clergy
Principal Fakey
The principal of Diorama Elementary. While he attempts to run the school according to his community's strict moral code, he himself has been having an affair with Nurse Bendy for some time. His wife is completely unaware of this, and Fakey felt extreme guilt over his deception until receiving advice from Orel in "Repression".
He is now in denial concerning the affair, and has thrown his wife out of the house, blaming the venerial disease he received from Nurse Bendy on his wife's (nonexistent) infidelity.
He is voiced by Jay Johnston.
Miss Sculptham
Miss Sculptham is Orel's school teacher. Often appearing extremely bored and disinterested, she leads Orel's class through half-hearted field trips and lectures.
Most of the information she imparts to her students is heavily slanted towards Moralton's peculiar religious world-view... and absent in basic facts. She often does the bare minimum required from her and nothing more. She has a selfish streak, as she has been seen maniptulating students that have crushes on her into giving her expensive gifts.
Coach Stopframe
The gym coach at Orel's school, Daniel (pronounced 'Danielle') Stopframe is a bit of an enigma. He's also not nearly as Christian as the rest of the town, once practicing satanic rituals in an attempt to make the track team run faster, and takes Orel to be a sacrificial virgin; much to the horror of the Satanists. It is hinted in "Loyalty" and "The Best Christmas Ever" that he is Shapey's real father.
Coach Stopframe is also apparently indiscriminate in his sexual practices - he frequently makes less than subtle overtures to Clay while once being seen with three women and a dog.
He is voiced by Jay Johnston.
Doughy Latchkey
Orel's best friend, Doughy is very fearful and not very smartt; as a result, he is often indecisive and has consistently failed to stand up for himself when pressured (such as letting Orel and Joe throw rocks at his dad's car).
In Courtship, we learn that he is the child of two high school students, his last name is "Latchkey" and that his insecurity stems from being severely neglected by his parents, who often give him money and encourage him to leave the house so they can have sex.
He has sandy-brown hair and wears a propeller beanie.
He is voiced by Scott Adsit.
Joe
Introduced as Coach Stopframe's nephew Orel was asked to be Joe's "Bible buddy". Am argy troublemaker, bully, and potential sociopath,, Joe frequently commits petty acts of vandalism, theft, and, most often, bullying.
Despite his lack of interest in the Church, he has been known to mock other children over "religious retardation".
Tommy
Orel's former classmate and friend who had difficulty accepting the unquestioning religious teaching that the school provided. Because he attempted to provide scientific rather than religious answers on his schoolwork (writing "photosynthesis" instead of "God's giggles"), he was labeled as "religiously retarded" by the school and placed in the "Special Education" class, where all such "religiously retarded" students are "taught" at a pre-school level by a teacher who frequently leaves the class unsupervised for extended periods.
Tommy and the students use this time to read science books. Orel was assigned as Tommy's "Bible Buddy", to help him get to and from school and assist him with basic learning; help that Tommy does not actually need. While he seems somewhat irritated by this treatment, Tommy doesn't begrudge Orel, saying "at least his heart's in the right place."
Mr. Armature
The temporary school music and drama teacher. Formerly the bass player for the Christian folk trio The Crucifolk until bandmates Lily and Leaf, announced the groups dissolution and plans for a solo act, leaving Dale Armature out to dry.
Six months later and sporting a beard, he has since turned his efforts to Broadway theater with offerings like "Crooning Jesus" that were ignored. Very nervous and excitable, his most noticeable feature is that he has only one eye brow (his left one) and has an unrequited crush on Lily.
Nurse Bendy
A vapid, blonde nurse who works for Doctor Potterswheel and the school. For a nurse, she is very inattentive and horribly ignorant of even rudimentary medical knowledge. The other doctors are aware of this and have her "sit outside and look pretty". Carries on an affair with Principal Fakey, though she seems completely disinterested in him and expresses no pleasure - or even acknowledgment- when they have sex.
