Twirp

Twirp is a recurring character in VNL Entertainment's games and media. He is the main character of Bad Nerd and Nerd vs. Zombies, and also appears as a minor character and cameo in both School of Chaos and City of Chaos. Due to his large number of appearances and cameos, Twirp can be considered the mascot of the company.

Bad Nerd/Nerd vs. Zombies
Twirp gets a good grade on a recent test, earning him some limited-edition comic books from his teacher as a reward. The bullies Maulest and T-Steak beat Twirp up on his way to the Grand Library, and steal the comic books. Throughout the game, Twirp attempts to retrieve his comic books, but at a certain point realizes that there is a bigger problem to solve. He discovers a growing zombie infestation in the school, and moves to end it as soon as possible.

School of Chaos
Although Twirp stopped his bullies and kept the zombie infestation at bay, he could not do so forever. Eventually, his work was undone, as a massive wave of zombies were unleashed into the hallways. Since he could not stop this chaos on his own, he began helping other students to take action against evil.

City of Chaos
The combined efforts of Twirp and the other students could not prevent the zombie infestation from reaching the streets. The neighboring urban areas were soon filled with zombies, stray humans, aliens, wild animals, and law enforcement officials who engaged in frequent conflicts. Amidst the craziness, Twirp and the other students have no choice but to continue fighting just to stay alive...

Appearance
In most appearances, Twirp wears a bright yellow shirt, a pair of teal, plaid pants, red shoes, and black glasses. However, in School of Chaos, Twirp wears a red-and-white plaid shirt with orange sleeves, gray checkered pants, no shoes, and gray glasses. In all appearances, he sports his signature bun of dark brown hair.

Personality
At first, Twirp was implied to be a stereotypically timid and meek person; he was easily beaten by some bullies, unable to fight back properly. As he gathered power and wealth, however, his bravery led him to do much good for the school, from defeating zombies to taming bullies. His helpful nature showed when he took up Quests for people in the Bad Nerd games, and when he tutored new students in School of Chaos and City of Chaos. Overall, Twirp's friendly and proactive nature gained him the friendship and approval of many a kid in need.
