His mother is also too self-absorbed to put his needs above her own and, rather than try to resolve his issues, she dumps him at a school so he can be someone else's problem. However, it's suggested that his combative nature is a product of his home life as he has never had a healthy relationship with a paternal figure. Bruiser with a Soft Center: Jimmy is no stranger to combat and will jump into the fight when someone attacks him.Brilliant, but Lazy: For all his past delinquent actions and all the various ways he can get in trouble during the game, Jimmy is also more then capable of passing, even excelling in all of his classes.But then Jimmy's haughtiness breaks when the school's many subcultures and factions turn on him. He grabs Derby by the hair and forces him to say Jimmy's name, chokes Hal and makes him do the same thing and throws him onto the hard concrete when he does, and yells and brags at the knocked out bodies of the school Football team after a hard ass kicking. Jimmy later earns an upgraded wrist rocket (a metal slingshot with a wrist wrap and scope) in "The Candidate". Brats with Slingshots: He steals one from Davis in "The Setup" after he was shot by Davis with it.You can avert this in normal gameplay and it is somewhat justified why he would be good at some of his classes as they are either relevant to the items he uses throughout the game or he actually likes the teacher and therefore puts more effort into the lesson. He also doesn't know what a "sociopath" or "hermaphrodite" are. Miss Peters, the music teacher, blackmails him into starring in the school play by not assigning him another F in her class. Book Dumb: Downplayed, but it's implied that he's canonically not known well for his academic prowess.Jimmy: Who won?! Me! Jimmy Hopkins! That's who! Who won?!
He even forces them to say who's the boss, and if you didn't know who, it's Jimmy Hopkins. Boisterous Bruiser: Especially when he's done kicking any chapter bosses' asses.Big Man on Campus: Officially elevated to this in the penultimate chapter and again at the end of the game: schmoozing with the ladies, surrounded by an entourage, and letting loose a few Tom Cruise gestures because he's just that awesome.At the end of the game, he learns military-style fighting, kicks, roundhouse kicks, leg sweeps, grapples, two nasty Groin Attack moves, headbutts, etc. Bare-Fisted Monk: He fights with his fists only and has no techniques when he comes into Bullworth.The player can take this further in-game by making him completely bald or subvert the trope by allowing him to grow his hair out. His default hairstyle is a ginger buzz cut, likely enforced from one of the previous schools he's been expelled from. Bald Head of Toughness: He's a Bully Hunter who takes on every clique at his new boarding school as a One-Man Army in order to end the rampant bullying, aided by his natural Made of Iron disposition as he's capable of shrugging off bats broken over his head, a sledgehammer hit that sends him flying, and even blows from a prized boxing champion.Jimmy is Bisexual and can optionally kiss boys, but makes homophobic remarks about the Jocks and denies being "sexually confused" to Pinky during their date. He also helps those who are kind to him and on one occasion ran into a burning building to save some kids who were trapped inside. Story-wise, he's standing up for weaker kids, aligning with outcasts, and his quest to take over the school is to simply stop the rampant bullying and violence from the 5 main cliques. While Jimmy isn't very nice, thanks to a bad upbringing, he's only defending himself from those who are out to bully or hurt him. Anti-Hero: Of the " Pragmatic" variety.Action Genre Hero Guy: Jimmy hits almost every beat, being a tough-as-nails bald white male with a buzz-cut who prefers using Good Old Fisticuffs on his enemies.His tough exterior and self-reliance is a result of years of emotional neglect and the need to defend himself from other people.
His mom chooses to dump Jimmy at various schools rather than get to the root of his problems and deal with them.
