The Savages. We aren’t just a gang, we’re a movement. We stand up for the people who don’t have the balls to stand up for themselves. Occasionally, it may not seem that way, but our actions and behavior have a purpose. When you’re told that you are setting a bad example, it offends you. When your advantages are taken away in a flash, it’s offensive. When your opinions don’t matter to people, you feel shut out. The only way to break out of your shell is to retaliate. That’s why we are who we are.
The Savages are a clique at James A. Masters High School. They are a group of students who resist the school environment and the school policies, which have been enforced by principal Rose De Vil. They are well-known for their direct action and their rebellious attitudes. The group was initially led by Trae Ventura, who founded and created the group alongside Sydney Prescott and Nate Osbourne.
As of Season 1, Trae, Sydney and Carl are the only members who have recruited new members.
Trae recruited Gina and Zachary, Sydney recruited Lily, and Carl recruited Rufus.
In Season 1, the Savages appeared to be better friends with those who joined around the same time they did or the ones they recruited. However, in Season 2, this dynamic seems to change.
Trae became closer with Gina and Zachary, who he recruited.
Alex and Carl became best friends since they joined around the same time.
Sydney and Lily became closer after Sydney recruited her.
Nate, originally closer to Sydney and Trae prior to joining, became closer with Joe.
The Savages are the only clique at James A. Masters that has had members join following their exit or removal from other groups.
Alex and Zachary joined after leaving The Jocks
Lily joined after leaving The Red Hot Cheer Peppers.
Rufus is the only member who remained in two cliques at the same time.
Trae, Alex, Gina, and Sydney are the only members so far of The Savages to be from a different location originally.
Trae is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Alex and Gina are both from New York City, New York.
Sydney is a foreign exchange student from Paris, France.
Season 2 is the only season where no one joins The Savages.
