Ryan may have been an asshole back in his only appearance in Roomies! Redux, but there him sleeping with Ruth was consensual. Here, he's still an asshole but most of his quips are less about hurting people for no reason and more about forcing them to acknowledge hypocrisies, point out hard truths or engage in uncomfortable conversations. While not a villain, Mike's character in the Walkyverse was to be the biggest asshole in the world. On the other hand, she's not exactly ethical, and is carrying on an affair with a student, Joe. She doesn't murder his father and lead a string of brutal attacks that leave dozens dead. Penny is Jason's ex and a sarcastic TA. Adaptation Name Change: In the Walkyverse, Dina's surname was Sarazu. The comic is an Ultimate Universe counterpart to Willis' other comics, playing fast and loose with the personal histories of the characters, stripping out the science-fiction elements altogether, and leading to characters co-existing and forming relationships when they'd barely met in the other 'verse (or vice versa.) In a sense it could be said to be a reboot of Roomies! specifically, given the college focus, but with characters from everything up through Shortpacked! included. All these people have assorted friends and relations, any of whom are capable of taking center-stage at any time-it's probably a good idea to take a look at the character sheet to get a sense of the sheer scope of the work. 
And then there's local vigilante Amazi-Girl, secretly fellow freshman Amber O'Malley, who uses the alter-ego to compartmentalize her anger issues.
Also along for the ride are Joyce's roommate, a snarky, nigh-misanthropic sophomore named Sarah Clinton, and their next-door neighbors, alcoholic and wannabe- Alpha Bitch Jennifer "Billie" Billingsworth and Book Dumb, badass-incarnate Sal Walkerton. Though it has multiple characters, its primary focus is on Joyce Brown, a naive fundamentalist Christian with a friendly demeanor and a rigid but upbeat outlook on life, and her unlikely best friend Dorothy Keener, an ambitious atheist and pre-law student. Dumbing of Age is a Slice of Life Webcomic by David Willis, set at Indiana University and revolving around the freshman class of whatever year this is.
