Your Character
In Chapter 2, you meet him at his fraternity party where you can boost your reputation. He is shown to be friendly towards you despite what his girlfriend does. When you are accused of cheating in your previous college, he is the first one who defends you. In Chapter 4, he is among the students you can choose to kiss when the kiss cam lands on you. If you decide to, you tell him you hope Poppy won't get mad. He doesn't think she will because you two were just having fun, but he is mistaken when Poppy screeches at him. You make Poppy even angrier and she insults both of you when she breaks up with Carter.

In Chapter 11, he invites you to Poppy's game of "Suck n' Blow". If you decide to participate, you two can become intimate with or without Veronica Lombardi. Later (whether or not you participated), when you start to rifle through Poppy's room, he sees you. You can persuade him to join your Posse and learn more about him and his past relationship with Poppy. If you choose to recruit him, he says that, "you seem like the type who sees the other stuff people are about," suggesting that you make him feel 'seen' in ways that Poppy did not when they were together.

Poppy Min-Sinclair
Poppy is his girlfriend and, later, his ex. If you decide to listen to Professor Kingsley's research about Poppy, he/she will reveal that Carter is the golden-type popular boy and Poppy keeps him in check to prevent him from outranking her. Before they started dating, Carter was popular because he was well-liked by students and faculty alike. To keep her Queen B title, Poppy began to date him to keep her power in the school, tying herself to the school's most-beloved student. Professor Kingsley also reveals that although Carter seems to genuinely care about Poppy, he seems happier when she is not around and doesn't cut him down. In Chapter 4, after the performance, Poppy breaks up with him because he helped you in your performance. If you decided to kiss him, Poppy calls him a cheating scumbag. In Chapter 11, if you recruit him to your posse, he tells you that Poppy always treated him like a trophy boyfriend.

Ford, Luis, Michael, Erik
It is revealed in Chapter 4 that Ford, Luis and Erik are all part of the football team. He is also a member of Alpha fraternity along with Ford, Luis and Michael.

Trivia
