"I only give people what they have coming to them."
Voiced by: Gerry Rosenthal
The protagonist of the game, a short, rebellious, and defiant 15-year-old boy who has previously been expelled from seven schools. Jimmy is left to fend for himself when he's dumped off at Bullworth Academy by his newly-wed mother and his bazillionth stepfather while they leave for a year-long honeymoon cruise.
  • Abusive Parents: His biological dad abandoned him at a young age and his mother is a narcissistic parent who's married several men in the past. His mom chooses to dump Jimmy at various schools rather than get to the root of his problems and deal with them. His tough exterior and self-reliance is a result of years of emotional neglect and the need to defend himself from other people.
  • 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.
  • Anti-Hero: Of the "Pragmatic" variety. 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. 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. 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.
  • Armoured Closet Gay: Downplayed. 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.
  • 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. His default hairstyle is a ginger buzz cut, likely enforced from one of the previous schools he's been expelled from. 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.
  • Bare-Fisted Monk: He fights with his fists only and has no techniques when he comes into Bullworth. At the end of the game, he learns military-style fighting, kicks, roundhouse kicks, leg sweeps, grapples, two nasty Groin Attack moves, headbutts, etc.
  • 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.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: Especially when he's done kicking any chapter bosses' asses. He even forces them to say who's the boss, and if you didn't know who, it's Jimmy Hopkins.
    Jimmy: Who won?! Me! Jimmy Hopkins! That's who! Who won?!
    Hal: ...you...
    Jimmy: Who?! (Chokes)
    Hal: Jimmy. Hopkins.
    Jimmy: CORRECT!
  • Book Dumb: Downplayed, but it's implied that he's canonically not known well for his academic prowess. Miss Peters, the music teacher, blackmails him into starring in the school play by not assigning him another F in her class. He also doesn't know what a "sociopath" or "hermaphrodite" are. 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.
  • Brats with Slingshots: He steals one from Davis in "The Setup" after he was shot by Davis with it. Jimmy later earns an upgraded wrist rocket (a metal slingshot with a wrist wrap and scope) in "The Candidate".
  • Break the Haughty: Loves doing this. 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. But then Jimmy's haughtiness breaks when the school's many subcultures and factions turn on 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.
  • Bruiser with a Soft Center: Jimmy is no stranger to combat and will jump into the fight when someone attacks him. 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. 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. When Petey manages to get through to his softer side, Jimmy is revealed to be a loyal friend who, while not above violence, uses his fists to stand up for the little guy.
  • Bully Hunter: He's particularly disgusted with how lower caste students prey on each other, rather than face the might of the preps, jocks, and others. As he said to Russell, "There are a bunch of idiots in this school who need a good beating, and you're picking on the few who don't."
  • The Casanova: Given that he's able to get the attention of 8 girls by the end of the game, and six guys too. (His mojo fails on the art teacher, however.)
  • The Cassandra: Jimmy totally lacks Gary's incredible gift of being able to get others to listen through words alone. Almost every attempt he makes to solve issues with others through talking ends in a fight.
  • Character Development: Begins the game as a standoffish and hostile jerk, but makes friends with Gary and Petey quickly. He's also initially content to just ride out the schoolyear and pull the occasional prank, but when Gary betrays him, he resolves to unify the school and stop all the bullying out of self-interest and a genuine desire to do good. As he gets more entangled with the different cliques and their personal drama, he also begins to show a more empathetic side, particularly to the girls. When he becomes king of the school, he gets some serious Acquired Situational Narcissism and begins lording his popularity and fame over the rest of his friends, which blinds him to Gary's imminent attack. When all of his fame and popularity is stripped away, Jimmy remembers why he became a Bully Hunter in the first place and fights back against Gary to save the school. He also rewards Petey and Zoe for their help, showing that he's at least somewhat grown out of his selfish ways.
  • Clint Squint: It's a wonder he can even see though those slits.
  • Combat Pragmatist: Jimmy can explore many ways to take down an opponent, ranging from a simple punch in the face to using a freaking bottle rocket launcher to paste someone from a distance.
  • Cool Board: He gets a skate board as a Thank-You present from Bucky in "Defend Bucky". And he's the only one to use a skateboard in the whole town.
  • Covered in Scars: Jimmy's dome is marred by a few scars, which disappear if you grow his hair out.
  • Cultured Badass: Art classes show that Jimmy has a surprising gift for oil painting.
  • Custom Uniform: For some reason, he and Petey are the only students who wear bright blue uniform vests. The Nerds and the Non-Clique Students respectively wear kelly green and dark teal sweater vests, and Gary has a unique teal vest. The other cliques don't wear school sweater-vests.
    • In beta screenshots, the Non-Clique Students wore blue vests the same color as Jimmy's. It's probable that they were switched to dark teal to make Jimmy stand out more.
  • Cutscene Incompetence: Whenever Gary's around, Jimmy seems to lose the ability to do anything besides clench his fists, scuff his feet, and huff. However, this is justified by the fact that he's still trying to figure out why Gary felt the need to betray him despite doing nothing to deserve it. In the final mission, Jimmy finally confronts Gary and his first question is "Why did you do it?" and he's completely disgusted when Gary tells him that he betrayed him because he enjoys the feeling of being in power and because he saw Jimmy as a threat.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Hopkins' dry brand of humor, which is helped enormously by him being the Great Stone Face of Bullworth Academy. He especially enjoys running fast ones past the Headmaster (criticizing his dress sense among other things), even during his expulsion proceeding.
    Crabblesnitch: Very droll! A comedian to the end. Well, you are going to have to take your comedic talents elsewhere.
  • Defrosting Ice King: He grows from an aggressive outcast who openly distrusts others, to the popular kid who helps the helpless when they are beaten down or abused.
  • Disappeared Dad: No mention is made of his birth/biological father, only that he has had many stepfathers.
  • Disappointed by the Motive: Ever since Gary betrayed Jimmy in the first chapter, Jimmy has been deeply confused about why Gary would do something like this to a friend. When confronted during the final showdown, Jimmy is angry and bewildered that Gary would betray him out of paranoia and to feel powerful.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: By becoming the school's most powerful leader, he unwittingly becomes a whipping boy for everything that goes wrong. Jimmy tries his best to maintain order, but he's rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic by that point.
  • Eagleland: Probably sums it up best when he's giving a Rousing Speech to the Townies, convincing them to help him stop the all-out brawl at Bullworth Academy in "Complete Mayhem".
  • Establishing Character Moment: Insults and disrespects his stepdad, a person with a position with authority over Jimmy. However, then he displays anger and sadness for his mom's choice of a new husband, making it clear he loves her and that in spite of his anti-authority attitude he's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
  • Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: He doesn't insult his mom in the car ride to school in the introduction, just his new stepdad. He tackles Gary to kick-off the final boss fight, all because of what Gary said, while yelling the loudest and sounding the angriest he's ever been in the whole game.
    Gary: (After listening to Jimmy's Kirk Summation) Well, at least MY mom doesn't make her living on her back!
    Jimmy: YOU'RE DEAD!!! (Tackles Gary right off the roof)
  • Everyone Has Standards:
    • He's a brute who has been expelled by 7 different schools but he makes it clear that he's appalled by Bullworth's internal conflict and bullying.
    • Jimmy hates the mistreatment of women, he's disgusted by Earnest's perverse request for pictures of Mandy and angrily says that it's the sort of thing that will land him in prison. When he finds out the Nerds have posted those illicit pictures of Mandy around Bullworth, he's appalled and leaves to go take them down. Internally realising that the Nerds have taken things too far and could have ruined her life through revenge porn.
    • In the fight against Derby Harrington, he's disgusted by Derby's willingness to sacrifice his friends to stop or, at least, weaken Jimmy before they fight each other.
    • When helping Algie confront Lola about toying with his feelings for her, he pats a tearful Algie on the back as a way of saying "I'm sorry you had to find out this way, you'll be ok".
    • As noted in an interview with writer Dan Houser, Jimmy might be a troubled kid but would never grow up to be a violent criminal like other GTA protagonists due to his white-collar background and would instead mellow out with age.
  • Expelled from Every Other School: He has been expelled from multiple other schools, and if he gets kicked out of Bullworth Academy he's destined for either Military School or prison.
  • Expy: He can be seen as a milder, teenage version of Claude from Grand Theft Auto III, being a rough and tough protagonist who has to fight his way through many antagonistic factions in a town/city in order to stay out of serious trouble after being betrayed by someone close to them.
    • Jimmy also shares some similarities to Tommy Vercetti from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, as they're both violent characters with a history of getting in trouble with the law, but are loyal, intelligent characters all around who would then take over their respective towns to unify people in need and establish dominance over antagonistic factions after being screwed over by their former friends.
  • Extreme Doormat: Jimmy pretty much takes orders from everyone and he'll still go along with them even if he hates the request. He joins in on bullying the homeless man on campus, he helps Earnest get dirty pictures of Mandy, and he begrudgingly helps Johnny Vincent with his girl problems.
  • Fiery Redhead: A short, pug-faced ginger kid with strawberry blond hair.
  • Former Teen Rebel: According to Dan Houser, if Jimmy were to be portrayed as an adult in the future, he's unlikely to be a criminal and will probably grow up to be a well-adjusted (or at least harmless) individual.
  • Freudian Excuse: Jimmy grew up fatherless and his mother is a narcissistic parent who marries men and blames Jimmy for ruining those marriages. Rather than deal with Jimmy's issues, she dumps him at any academy that will take him and make him their problem instead. His gruff and standoffish nature is a result of constantly defending himself from bullies and those out to hurt him.
  • Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: If he gets sent to the principal's office, Crabblesnitch can say that Jimmy's mother issues do not justify his bullying of others.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: By the end of chapter three and start of chapter four.
  • Genius Bruiser: Can prove to be a straight-A student, although he still leaves most of his tactical decisions up to Pete.
  • Genre Blindness: Mostly when Gary's around.
  • Good Is Not Nice: He's stingy with kind words and not particularly philanthropic; he'll protect you from bullies in exchange for cash on the nail. Very rarely does he act out of the goodness of his heart.
  • Hard Head: See Made of Iron below, an example of how hardheaded this hard head is would be baseball bats breaking over his skull and he doesn't even blink, and bricks thrown at his head break on contact. That's not possible of a human, let alone a 15 year old kid.
  • He Who Fights Monsters: Jimmy originally set out to quash the bullying. However, the popularity goes to his head and he becomes a pale copy of Gary, even inheriting the latter's punching bag, Pete. This comes back to bite him when he ignores Petey and Gary's schemes nearly ruin him, forcing him to become a better person.
  • High-School Hustler: A hard-assed incarnation, though you'd need to be to survive in a place like Bullworth. He's also less adept at it than Gary, resorting to fisticuffs rather than flattery and lies.
  • Hot-Blooded: Seen as this in cutscenes, but the only time he does impulsively attack in a cutscene, it's when his mom gets insulted by someone who had a beating coming to him anyway.
  • Idle Animation: Stands around and talks to himself when left around too long, he wonders how his mom is doing, he decides if school rumors are true or not, he wonders why he's standing around, etc.
  • It Runs in the Family: Jim scores with an absurd number of girls throughout the game. It must be in the genes, seeing as how his mother is a serial divorcee.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While willing to do anything for cash and being rude to nearly everyone he interacts with besides the teachers and some of the girls, Jimmy does care about people, going far enough to beat some sense into all the cliques so they could stop bullying weaker kids, and despite being called a psychopath by Pete, he has been shown to have guilt. Principal Crabblesnitch notes that at the end of the game, he is a good person at heart in spite of his rough side, and decides not to send a letter to his mother regarding his expulsion.
  • Kavorka Man: While not strictly 'ugly' in any sense, he's not considered to be very good looking—Zoe even makes fun of him for being short and having no fashion sense. But he gets with every hot girl at the school because of his strong personality and natural charisma.
  • Kirk Summation: He delivers one to Gary before their final battle.
    Jimmy: Oh, Congratulations! You're smarter than me! You hate everyone and everyone hates you! Genius!
  • Knight in Sour Armor: He shows utter disrespect to pretty much everybody, even the principal, but he ultimately does lay everything on the line to safeguard Bullworth. He also shows a softer side to the ladies: When Mandy breaks down at seeing voyeuristic posters of her that the Nerds wallpapered all over the town (with Jimmy's help), Jim tries to console her; then, seeing it did no good, he leaves to deface the posters before the school board sees them.
  • Knight Templar: Arguably, he must become the school's biggest bully in order to stop the bullying.
  • Kryptonite Factor: invoked Almost nothing fazes Jimmy but chemical warfare. He easily shrugs off physical damage, but reacts badly to stink bombs, fire extinguisher gas, and weed killer. But those are pretty mild compared to the fast-acting sedatives that the asylum orderlies use when busting him. This is expanded upon in a Dummied Out cutscene where if Jimmy loses his fight against Edgar, then Edgar throws him into acid, with his dialogue implying that the acid kills him.
    Edgar: Poor little Jimmy taking an acid bath!
  • Lightning Bruiser: He's probably the second or third fastest kid in Bullworth, but he can outrun basically anyone in the game on foot and not run out of breath. For reference, even authority figures (who otherwise have large health bars) will have to stop frequently during chases to catch a breath.
  • Made of Iron: Tanks hits from basically a young Andre the Giant, gets up from a sledgehammer swing that sends him flying through boards of wood, takes massive hits from a prized champion boxer, baseball bats break over his head, takes pot shots from a rapid fire potato launcher, gets a nasty Haymaker to the face and drops onto solid concrete, bricks thrown at his head break on contact, gets up from a hard Groin Attack from a musclebound bully, steel pipes dent when it hits him, could survive falling of a long ladder when a wheelbarrow full of cinderblocks thrown at his head, and in the climax, he crashes through multiple boards of wood and falls into a glass skylight, the villain is knocked out from the injury, but Jimmy gets up without staggering, safe to say the visible scars on Jimmy's head must've been from chainsaws because Jimmy is that tough. It's also worth remembering that he's a short 15 year old boy with an average build.
  • Married to the Job: Not moments after professing love for Zoe, he turns on his heels and races back to Bullworth upon hearing it's in trouble. "Duty calls!"
  • Martial Pacifist: Downplayed as his favorite solutions are violence, but he's willing to do tasks for people if it means it won't cause more hostility and problems. He steals bikes for Clint/Henry so he won't fight Jimmy, and he finds who stole the Preps' boxing trophies if it means that they won't fight the Greasers again.
  • Mistaken for Gay: Pinky mentions rumors that Jimmy is confused about his sexuality, which Jimmy takes offense at. However there are several boys that Jimmy can kiss for a health bonus just like with the girls meaning he is bisexual, and is either uncomfortable talking about it or took offense to the insult behind the rumor. Lola also accuses him of liking boys due to his lack of interest in her.
  • Motive Decay: At first, he's only fighting off other people because they leave him no choice and it's the only way he can get them to stop bothering him. Eventually, he becomes determined to keep the sadistic kids of Bullworth in line, including Gary, by beating them up and forcing them to unite under his watch. Then, when he topples every school clique, he simply lives the high life of popularity and forgets about Gary. He reverts to the second plan when things go south and he seeks to set things right.
  • Mouthy Kid: His snark tends to lands him in trouble. He almost gets thrashed by Johnny Vincent on the spot for a comment, his cute little one liner gets turned into a Pre Ass Kicking One Liner by Norton, and his words make Headmaster Crabblesnitch hate him more.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: Despite not appearing very muscular, Jimmy can hold his own in a fight against opponents bigger than he is... including the gigantic Russell.
  • The Napoleon: He's short for his age, which is one of the very many things responsible for his general belligerence.
  • No Historical Figures Were Harmed: Jimmy shares a lot of similarities to Julius Caesar;
    • Both were bald men who rose to power without parental influence (Jimmy's dad is no longer in the picture, while Caesar's dad was never consul so Caesar had no inherited excellence). Both Caesar and Jimmy joined 2 other allies and formed The Triumvirate so they could build nobility and rise to power. Before rising to power, both the Roman Republic and Bullworth academy were plagued by a ruling body who were divisive and eventually factional, causing multiple civil wars. In bullworth, there are 5 cliques who are at each other's throats and fights are a common sight.
    • The Triumvirate was formed around favours; the friends of Caesar helped him become consul and Caesar would help them in turn by passing any law they wished. In the game, Jimmy was helped by Gary who encouraged Jimmy to help the nerds and take on the bullies. Gary was the one who encouraged Jimmy to join him in become the ruler of the school. After the fight against Russell, Petey takes over and directs Jimmy on how to fight the cliques.
    • Both Jimmy and Caesar attacked their first tribe because they were a threat to their allies (Jimmy fought the bullies first because they were antagonising him and the nerds. While Caesar attacked the Helvetians because he believed they were attacking an ally of Rome).
    • Both fought enemies to the north and were ambushed by a different tribe a year later, (Jimmy fought the preppies in Old Bullworth Vale, which is in the north-west of the academy and was eventually ambushed in the junkyard by the greasers). Due to his family wealth, Jimmy was put against the preppies because they believed themselves to be superior to him due to their inherited wealth and they start talking badly of him when he starts interacting with the Greasers, their rivals and from a poorer part of Bullworth. Caesar had no inherited wealth, and the triumvirate allowed Caesar to have the wealth to become consul. When his consul expired, his allies started turning against him and he became general to maintain his imperium, as well as, become governor of a providence and take command of a few legions.
    • Both had to turn against their allies under the excuse of a revolution and took the emblem of a bull afterwards (Caesar claimed the Veneti tribe revolted and he conquered it. During Caesar's reign, the Legio X Equestris was formed and they adopted the bull as their emblem. Jimmy had to fight the nerds after they severed their allegiance to him and he helped them fight the jocks by disguising himself as the academy's bull mascot.
    • When both became leaders, they were betrayed by a friend and forced to fight over leadership which caused a civil war when they returned, whereupon the traitor retreated to another country after losing the battle.
      • Like Gary, Pompeius acted from the sidelines and renounced the protagonist's leadership during a campaign. Gary used the Townies to create dissonance between Jimmy and the other cliques while Jimmy was away tagging the town hall. Meanwhile, Pompeius resinded Caesar's governorship while the latter was away from Rome.
      • After defeating the jocks, Jimmy became king but was set up by the townies and expelled. Gary took over and caused a civil war, forcing Jimmy to return with the Townies and he gets Gary expelled after trying to understand why he would betray him. Gary was then presumably dumped with the vengeful Townies, after that, Jimmy became the king of the school and presumably began an official relationship with Zoe, a Townie.
      • Caesar's closest ally, Pompeius, betrayed him and tried to become leader by rescinding Caesar's governorship of Gall. Pompeius and Caesar contended for the leadership of Rome, causing a civil war when Caesar returned to Rome with his 13th legion. Pompeius retreated to Greece and soon lost the battle of Pharsalus. After this, Pompeius retreated to Egypt for sanctuary from Caesar by seeking refuge with Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator but was promptly beheaded instead. Caesar was horrified by this because he wanted to spare Pompeius' life and he returned to Rome as it's dictator after forming an alliance with Cleopatra of Egypt.
  • Not So Above It All: While he hates bullying, and he fights to stop it, he seems to enjoy bullying and humiliating people when they're low on health; giving wedgies, pinching girl's asses, giving swirlies and threatening people. The only difference between his bullying and the students of Bullworth's bullying is that Jimmy only targets people who have done something to deserve it in the story, while the students enjoy bullying anyone weaker than them.
  • Odd Friendship:
    • Despite Pete typically being the type of boy that the students at Bullworth Academy would target and often not treating him well himself, Jimmy is friends with him regardless. At the end of the game he decides that he would be an excellent choice for the head boy.
    • He thought he had this with the Nerds since he's been helping them since the start of the game, but when he came to them for help taking down the Jocks they showed how one sided this friendship was which forced him to fight them like with the other cliques.
  • One-Man Army: Throughout the course of the story, he manages to beat up a man twice his size in Russell, as well as trained boxers (sometimes several at the same time), the entire football team, a well-armed militia of nerds wielding potato guns and firecrackers, a violent Scary Black Man attacking him with a sledgehammer, and a psycho wielding a steel pipe, all by himself. Safe to say it would take a freight train to stop Jimmy Hopkins.
  • Only Sane Man: Well, he, Pete, and Zoe share this. Still, Jimmy deserves special mention, as his scathing sarcasm at everybody else's insanity/stupidity flies completely over their heads.
  • Parental Neglect: His father is out of the picture and his mom is too busy dating to give Jimmy any attention. Jimmy had to learn how to fight and defend himself in response. Due to Jimmy's behaviour, he frequently gets expelled and he is eventually sent to Bullworth.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • When Algie sees Lola cheat on him with Chad and starts tearing up, Jimmy comforts him by patting poor Algie on the back.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: His height is no disadvantage to him in a fight. Jimmy can take on a whole clique in a fist fight single-handed and win.
  • Pipe Pain: In the secod phase of the boss fight against Edgar, he also rips off a large pipe and uses it to give Edgar a taste of his own medicine.
  • Pride Before a Fall:
    • It's even part of the last story-based chapter: "The Fall and Rise of Jimmy Hopkins, Aged 15". It is also a reference to the 1970s book, The Fall and Rise of Jimmy Hoffa, by Walter Sheridan.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives one to Dr. Crabblesnitch before he gets expelled, outlining everything wrong with the school while insulting him.
    Jimmy: I'm not the one who's funny. You know what's funny? You! You're a joke, you old creep! You and your stuck-up, lame-ass school, with its bullies and sex-pest teachers. This place is a dump and you're a big-nosed freak! This school rewards losers and bullies, I just stand up to them!
  • Sociopathic Hero: Commented on primarily by Pete, it isn't obvious until Jimmy mistakes a request to kill a houseplant with killing Derby instead. And though his tone of voice makes it unlikely that he was going to actually do it, he doesn't even question the request until he's corrected.
  • The Stoic: He rarely smiles, and even at his angriest, his voice is rather muted. However, he acts like a Boisterous Bruiser Large Ham once he's done kicking someone's ass, besides that, only Gary manages to get a rise out of him.
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Jimmy cobbles together his own little harem as the game progresses. It helps that every teenage girl in school is a Statuesque Stunner, towering over all the non-Prefects with the exception of Eunice, and even she has an inch or two on Jimmy.
  • Tiny Schoolboy: The third shortest student in the entire school, just ahead of Pete and the little kids.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Soda, and it's the only consumable that Jimmy comments on (he never says anything when eating apples or bananas). Jimmy even knows it's unhealthy for him but drinks it anyway. The game also encourages the player to chug them, with rewards given for buying 100 and 500 sodas. All his save zones have soda machines in them too, and the nerd hangout has always has a lone soda consumable for Jimmy to drink near his bed. He even steals soda off people he knocks out, the only other thing he steals off people is small weapons.
  • Unwitting Pawn: Gary builds him up as the school hero, only to muddy his reputation in the penultimate chapter. Then Jimmy rebuilds his reputation by doing good deeds like putting out a gym fire, and rescuing mostly innocent men/boys from an asylum. When it still doesn't work, Jimmy just does it the old fashioned way and beat everyone, including Gary, back into knowing who's boss.
  • Wise Beyond His Years: Due to his father abandoning him and his neglecting him, Jimmy is more mature than the other students and more capable of defending himself.
  • Working-Class Hero: Jimmy shows traits of an apolitical Skinhead, that being he's got a buzzcut and comes from a working-class family. Jimmy had to look after himself after his father abandoned him and rebellious behaviour has gotten him expelled from several schools.

    Gary Smith 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_m825wtf2a71qbqxwco1_r1_500-w300-h450_2091.png
"It's sink or swim, my friend."
Voiced by: Peter Vack
Jimmy's first "friend" at Bullworth who introduces him to the dog-eat-dog campus. Narcissistic, lacking empathy, misanthropic and full of schemes, he sets Jimmy on a journey for ulterior motives.
  • Abusive Parents: You can get an image of Gary's home life by piecing together bits of gossip, and it doesn't sound like he has a good one. Mr. Smith, the super-rich self-made man who can be seen in Bullworth Town, is thought to be Gary's grandfather. Gary's father did not turn out well, and ended up in an unhappy marriage with a woman of a seedy background from New Coventry. And poor Gary got dumped at Bullworth as soon as he was old enough.
  • Bad Samaritan: He's the first person at Bullworth to act friendly to Hopkins (if condescending but that's the Bullworth's friendliness), so naturally, he's the root of its evil.
  • Barbaric Bully: Averted. In a game about bullying and High School politics, the Big Bad is actually a weaselly loner who tries to use cunning and manipulation to come out on top.
  • Believing Their Own Lies: He's somehow convinced himself that Jimmy has been speaking badly of him and plans to take over the school, something Jimmy repeatedly denies and confused by.
  • Between My Legs: When Jimmy finally confronts him on the roof, the camera switches to this view.
  • Big Bad: The ultimate bully in Jimmy's eyes as Gary manipulates everyone from Jimmy, to the principal, to even all the clique leaders throughout the entire game. Also the final enemy Jimmy must beat if he wants to save the school.
  • Blessed with Suck: Gary views his own intelligence as this. Although he's diagnosed with ADD, this is another classic symptom of sociopathy: proneness to boredom and obsessive need for stimulation.
  • Brains and Brawn: Brains to Jimmy's Brawn. He was later replaced by Pete.
  • Bullying a Dragon: In an early mission, he thinks is a good idea to bully a nearby hobo by the gates (who happened to be a war veteran) seeing him as an easy target. Unsurprisingly, the hobo easily scares him (and Pete) away when said hobo displays aggression.
  • Cassandra Truth: When he told Jimmy that he had plans to take over the school, he didn't mean becoming the most popular student. He literally meant to take over the school through a hostile takeover.
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Gary's paranoia is so all-encompassing that he can't help but betray people.
  • Corrupted Character Copy: Gary appears to be corruption of Ferris Bueller from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, as both have similar face shapes, brown hair, and both are known to be the leader of their friend groups. While Ferris was at least well-intentioned, only manipulated others so he can have fun with his friends, stands up for the little guy, and only targeted people who did something to him to deserve it, Gary is what happens when you take away Ferris's sense of loyalty to his friends and focused solely on Cameron Frye and Edward R. Rooney's side of the story. Gary is shown from the start to be mean to his friends, bullies Pete for being one of the weaker kids, and his idea of fun is dragging his friends away to bully the homeless man on campus for being helpless and unfortunate. He does this after being offended by the notion of being called boring and he bullies Algie after convincing Jimmy to help him save Bucky from the bullies in order to send a message to Russell and his boys. When Jimmy tries to convince him to dial back their trouble-making so they don't get expelled, Gary becomes offended and drags him to The Hole so Russell can beat him up in a staged fight in front of the other cliques. Throughout the game, Gary poses as an ally of the clique and stirs up trouble for Jimmy to fix and he succeeds in getting Jimmy expelled and turning all the cliques against him. Once Jimmy is away, Gary manages to turn all the cliques against each other, take over the school, and tie up the headmaster. When demands to know why Gary betrayed him so many months ago, Gary simply says that he enjoys that feeling of power, likes manipulating others, and enjoys getting a reaction out of people. The game ultimately shows that these sorts of characters would be psychopaths in real life if they had this level of charisma.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Many of his remarks towards different characters and about society as a whole are usually condescending and cynical.
  • Deal with the Devil: Gary makes the same sales pitch to everybody when tempting them to the dark sid— er, his clique. First he promises to divide Bullworth between them 50-50, then pretends to assume a strictly advisory role. Earnest is especially susceptible thanks to his own naked lust for power and messiah complex.
  • Deconstructed Character Archetype: Gary Smith is a deconstruction of the High-School Hustler and the Delinquents. Gary is introduced as Jimmy's first friend in Bullworth because everyone needs one to survive the academy and Jimmy only joins him because Gary was the first student who didn't try to beat him up in the first meeting. In chapter one, he leads Jimmy and Petey on all sorts of antics in school but these aren't played as awesome and funny; Gary shows himself as a callous bully who makes fun of the homeless, bullies Petey, and gets his friends in trouble for kicks. When Jimmy repeatedly tells him to calm down and stop before he gets them both expelled, Gary is offended and drags Jimmy to the hole and pits him against Russell under the erroneous belief that Jimmy hates him and will betray him. His goal to take over the school was interpreted as "let's be the most popular kids in school." when he actually meant "Let's do a hostile takeover of the school and get everyone to fight each other". By the final chapter, Gary has not only lied his way to the top; he turned all the cliques against Jimmy, got the teachers and prefects on his side, and got Jimmy expelled. Gary shows how much a sociopath he is by revealing how much he enjoys manipulating people, and how he got other kids in the past unfairly expelled and put others in therapy because of his actions. In summary, this game shows how a High-School Hustler can't exist in the real world without being a power-hungry manipulator, how sociopathic and inattentive delinquents actually are, and how you shouldn't befriend people simply because they fit the bare minimum of basic decency.
  • Devil in Plain Sight: If the comically-large scar over his eye, bouts of psychosis, and thinly-veiled contempt for all around him wasn't enough, he dressed up as an S.S. Officer (complete with a baton) for Halloween!
  • Diabolus ex Nihilo: There is no in-game explanation as to why he's so sociopathic and power-hungry, he simply wants to control the school and take over.
  • Diabolical Mastermind: As shadow leader of the various cliques. The Nerds, Jocks, and Greasers are made to wage war on each other, not realizing their orders all came from the same place.
  • Dirty Coward/"Get Back Here!" Boss: In the last confrontation, Gary leads you up the dilapidated bell tower, hoping you'll slip and fall. He fires some taunts and turns over wheelbarrows full of cement blocks from above.
  • Disney Villain Death: Not really, but Hopkins does shove him off the school roof and into the skylight above Crabblesnitch's office. This knocks him out cold.
  • Dog-Kicking Excuse: Gary just enjoys hurting and manipulating other people, he does jokingly mention several other issues he has and it's even said that he's off his medication but ultimately, he just does what he does for the sake of doing it.
  • Engineered Public Confession: Jimmy doesn't even plan it that way; Gary can't stop running his fool mouth off about how he fooled everybody. Crabblesnitch overhears his evil rant and expels him.
  • Establishing Character Moment: When Jimmy meets Gary, he tries schmoozing the new kid with Faux Affable small talk. When it fails to endear Jimmy immediately, he talks to Jimmy as though the school is a prison where being hostile to everyone won't get him anywhere and that he needs to start making friends before they start putting him on medication. This establishes him as the manipulative-type who views companionship as entirely transactional. He also mentions that he was forced to take medication after his behavior became too bad for the staff to ignore, foreshadowing his Face–Heel Turn when he stops taking them later.
  • Exposition Fairy: Gary acts as one in "This is Your School".
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: He clearly can't wrap his mind around the concept of 'friendship,' and the idea of sharing power is equally anathema to him.
  • Evil Is Hammy: "Face it: I'M SMARTER THAN YOU! HA HAAAAAHH!!"
  • False Friend: To both Jimmy and Pete, as Jimmy is just another pawn to him and Pete is just his punching bag.
  • Fatal Flaw: Pride. The smug bastard just can't stop bragging, and he takes genuine offense when Jimmy calls him "boring."
  • Final Boss: He's the last boss fought in the game.
  • Fisher King: When he does take over the school, a storm takes over and disappears once Jimmy emerges victorious from the fight.
  • Flat Character: Despite being the main villain of the game, he only appears in cutscenes where he brags about his plans, stating how he hates Western society and talking to other students to cause problems for Jimmy. There's no explanation for his character or an explanation for why he wants to take over except his ego and sociopathy.
  • For the Evulz: Gary represents abuse of power for its own sake, making him the ultimate bully in Jimmy's eyes.
  • Freudian Excuse:
    Gary: Well – A.D.D., primarily, but also life, my parents, this school, western civilization, but really, honestly, enough about me…
  • Friendship-Hating Antagonist: His throw away idle line (heard by clicking at his soundboard, or by modding him to appear in free-roam) makes it clear that he despises the idea of friendship. He is not kidding about it.
    Friends? Friends are for the weak!
  • Good Hair, Evil Hair: Gary has a unique hairstyle through a side-swept undercut. Undercuts were popular from 1910 - 1940, while they were initially associated with poverty and the inability to afford a barber who could properly blend in the sides, it was eventually associated with The Third Reich after undercuts became one of the mandatory hairstyles for German soldiers. In the game, Gary is the main antagonist and while it's never outright said that Gary is a supporter of Nazism, he doesn't care about dressing like one and it appears that he's doing it for shock value than anything else.
  • Hate Sink: There is nothing remotely likeable about this manipulative and sociopathic bastard.
  • Heel Realization: Kinda.
    Jimmy: You are sad, man.
    Gary: I may be sad, but I run your world, moron! And don't you forget it!
  • High-School Hustler: Deconstruction of the Ferris Bueller archetype, expertly manipulating students and staff for his personal gain. As Bully demonstrates, only a psychopath would be this good at it.
  • Hypocrite:
    • He forces Jimmy to be his own personal Puppet King of the school, only to then betray him for being "competition" in his bid to take over the school. He also accuses Jimmy of lying about him behind his back, but all he ever does is trying to pit Jimmy against everyone else (both before and after his betrayal) with one baseless accusation after another. Considering he's mentally ill and had then stopped taking his meds, he might genuinely believe his own Insane Troll Logic.
    • He calls Lola a whore for using her charm to manipulate several people into fighting each other, so she could satisfy her ego. He himself does the same thing in an even bigger scale.
  • Idiot Ball: Inverted. Gary seems to be immune to the effects of an Idiot Ball, but he carries a very powerful one at all times. It's the most reasonable explanation as to why everyone seems to lose half of their IQ whenever Gary talks to them. People who previously talked about how he was an unstable psychopath are always willing to take him at his exact word, and Jimmy never seems to think of just beating him up until he is at the absolute peak of his power and causes Jimmy genuine trouble.
  • Improperly Paranoid: His Chronic Backstabbing Disorder is fueled by him being absolutely convinced everyone wants to rule the school in spite of Jimmy clearly not seeing the point of "ruling the school" and vocally so. Eventually, Jimmy develops an ambition to take over the school purely to get Gary off his back.
  • Informed Flaw: Gary is supposed to be the most hated student in Bullworth but yet, whenever Gary makes some sort of lies and manipulations, they immediately listen to him over the reliable Jimmy Hopkins with Crabblesnitch even lauding him as one of the ideal student for the head.
  • Insane Troll Logic: He basically drags Jimmy kicking and screaming into his plotting to take over the school, despite the fact Jimmy doesn't care about ruling the school (at first, anyways) and tells him that repeatedly, and he only helps Gary because he's one of the only students at Bullworth who doesn't treat him like dirt. Later, Gary betrays Jimmy because he's "competition," which comes out of nowhere from Jimmy's point of view.
  • Insufferable Genius: He's the egotistical douchebag that loves to brag his intelligence.
  • It Amused Me: When Jimmy asks, "Why'd you do it?", this is his response. The fact that Gary took the Principal hostage and turned the school into a warzone, yet is still Head Boy makes his victory all the sweeter; in Gary's mind, he's proven his superiority over the "little people."
  • Jerkass: He's a selfish, arrogant, manipulative and sociopathic narcissist that gets on everyone's nerves.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Gary comes off like a immature braggart in Chapter 1, forming his own clique with Jim and Pete while simultaneously claiming that friendship is just illusory. It later turns out Gary isn't hypocritical or putting up a tough exterior: he really is that evil.
  • Kick the Dog: Callously tells Jimmy that they were never actually friends and tells him how worthless he thinks he actually is.
  • Knight of Cerebus: The plot becomes progressively darker and more dramatic whenever he is carrying out some of his most despicable plans.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: After being expelled in place of Jimmy, NPC chatter reports that he's skulking the belltower like the Hunchback of Notre Dame (though this is probably an exaggeration) and—more likely—living in the trailer park with the Townies.
  • Let No Crisis Go to Waste: Once Jimmy becomes Bullworth's King, Gary ratchets up the chaos by letting rats loose in the library, destroying the Preps' antique trophies, getting Johnny sent to the asylum, and setting the gym on fire. This ends up turning all the cliques against Jimmy and allows Gary to become king of school instead.
  • Let's You and Him Fight: Gary couldn't conquer the cliques with his fists, and needed a brute like Jimmy to lead them. Once Jimmy becomes the King of School, Gary undoes the efforts he took to improve Bullsworth Academy and arranges for his expulsion, leaving the leaderless and confused gangs in need of a hand: Gary Smith's.
  • Loners Are Freaks: There's a reason we rarely see Gary following the fight in the sewers: He spends nearly all his waking moments in the dormitory, making plans. In doing so, however, he missed out on all the action Jimmy was having around town; adventures that, in theory, Gary could have participated in, instead.
    While you were off wasting your time with whores like Lola, I was in the dorm, planning. While you were racing bikes, while you were playing at the carnival like a child, my plan was coming together!
  • Manipulative Bastard: Gary is devious narcissist with a superiority complex and he is completely devoid of morals, doing whatever he deems necessary to achieve his goals, which includes manipulating teachers and social cliques into fighting each other.
  • Mirror Boss: Heavily downplayed, all things considered, but his fighting style during your final encounter with him does in fact take noticeable cues from Jimmy's own moveset though with a few tweaks here and there. His front kick and his ducking jab are dead ringers for a couple moves Jimmy learns from the hobo and his combos visually look similar to Jimmy's own wide-swinging jabs, hooks and uppercuts. It also helps that he's about Jimmy's heights and your attacks will be knocking him about about as much as his do you, provided you actually let him land attacks on you.
  • Misanthrope Supreme: Among his pet, the people he hates are his parents, his school, "small" people, and western civilization.
  • Mission Control Is Off Its Meds: Gary was introduced as Jimmy's first friend at Bullworth and he's the one who gets Jimmy into all sorts of antics. By the final mission of chapter one, Gary admits to being off his medication and orchestrates a fight between Jimmy and Russell under the belief that Jimmy is threat to him.
  • Motive Rant: An extended one in the finale, which proves his undoing because it enrages Jimmy enough to beat him, and then the principal sees his true colors by hearing the rant and expels him.
  • Narcissist: Thinks he's smarter than everyone else and sees himself as unstoppable as he manipulates everyone into doing his dirty work for him and has no remorse towards the suffering he causes as long as it benefits him.
  • A Nazi by Any Other Name: As his Halloween costume suggests, Gary is a non-too-subtle parody of Adolf Hitler (right down to the haircut). A hysteric xenophobe, possibly suffering from some form of parental neglect or mental illness, who comes to power by way of a series of extralegal maneuverings, sets fire to Bullworth's gym in his very own riff on the Reichstag, and talks constantly of ruling his own evil imperium someday.
  • Near-Villain Victory: He does succeed in taking over the school and gets Jimmy expelled, but he didn't expect Jimmy to form an alliance with the Townies or care enough to retake the school and have revenge.
  • No Historical Figures Were Harmed: While never confirmed he bears some concerning similarities to Eric Harris of Columbine notoriety. Like Gary, Harris was an outsider-turned-bully, used his social skills to manipulate authorities and peers, had his own self-serving beliefs regarding the strong and weak, and admired the Nazis, taking pride in all these characteristics, too. The fact that both are aspiring mass-murderers also probably helps.
  • Non-Action Big Bad: He's a whiz at manipulation and backstabbing, but a in a straight fistfight his bark proves to a lot bigger than his bite.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: Somehow, he was apparently able to convince all of the cliques to trust him, although most, if not all of their leaders show open disdain for Gary. He also does temporarily take over the school and get Jimmy expelled.
  • Obviously Evil: He bullies Petey in front of Jimmy, leads the trio in causing trouble, verbally abuses his friends, dressed as a Nazi for Halloween, openly talks about a big plan, and he has a scar on his face with an SS haircut. The only way he'd more obvious as a villain would be if he had the words "Definitely won't stab you in the back" emblazoned on his sweater vest. Granted, this may have been a result of his ADHD since he's too excited about his plans to control himself and he's deliberately refusing to take his medication.
  • Offstage Villainy: Most, if not all of his actions and manipulations are done offscreen although this is justified as the game is mostly done from Jimmy's point of view, and Gary admits he was planning from the shadows.
  • Psychological Projection: Throughout the whole game, we see Gary constantly pitting people against each other for kicks and putting words in other people's mouths to gaslight them, so it comes off as hypocritical when he baselessly accuses Jimmy of saying things behind his back and using this as a reason to backstab him.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: His brown eyes border on the color of being red, which is fitting, considering his status as the main villain.
  • Sadist: Loves to see people suffer for his own amusement, Jimmy himself even states to Crabblesnitch that Gary loves to torture people.
  • Sanity Slippage: Becomes more excitable (and erratic) after going off his meds. "I should've gone off those pills a long time ago!"
  • Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Jimmy eventually does take over the school before him, just as he suspected — which wouldn't have happened if Gary hadn't accused Jimmy of trying to take over.
  • Smug Snake: Gary's general tone of voice could best be described as "seething contempt." He's the "would-be genius Chessmaster but too arrogant to pull it off" version of a Smug Snake—although he does manage to become the Big Bad he's utterly incapable of maintaining it.
  • The Social Darwinist: Frequently proclaims his contempt for "weak people" and the necessity of betraying your friends first. He's also under the delusion that everybody in the world thinks just like him, including Jimmy.
  • The Sociopath: Textbook case. He's also unable to grasp the difference between holding total power over others and real friendship. He's actually called a sociopath in-game, but Jimmy doesn't know what that means.
  • Stupid Evil: His ultimate plan to take over the school results in a mass riot, the teachers abandoning the school and the headmaster being knocked out and tied up. Gary's plan would never last; the police will eventually break down the gates and restore order, Crabblesnitch would figure out who knocked him out, and the cliques would eventually wise up to his behaviour and punish him for pitting them against each other.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: He delivers quite the massive one in the final mission. It's arguably one of the most famous speeches in the game.
    Gary: You're too trusting, Jimmy. From the start you were pathetically naive... Poor little Jimmy, all alone at big scary Bullworth. Under fire from Russell and his goons, desperate for help. So sad, so hopeless, just needing a friend. Any friend. You were so easy to manipulate, Jimmy! And once we were friends, it was all so clear. You had your lust for power, but without the intelligence to back it up. Using you as a pawn was so wonderfully obvious! Let Jimmy have his fun. Let him play his childish little games with Earnest, Ted, Derby, Johnny and Edgar, and just wait for the right moment to swoop in and take it all. It was like lining up dominoes. It all fell together so perfectly. While you were off wasting your time with whores like Lola, I was in the dorm, planning. While you were racing bikes, while you were playing at the carnival like a child, my plan was coming together... Any regrets, Jimmy? Looking forward to the wasteland that your life is about to become? After you're expelled for your antics over the last few weeks you won't have anywhere left to go!
  • Take Over the City: Take Over the School — His goal all along was to become head of the school, with each of the cliques answering to him.
  • They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: His bad temper went mostly unnoticed on the dog-eat-dog campus.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: Gary is the grand orchestrator of the cliques, he poses as their friend and spreads lies about Jimmy to get the cliques to fight him for Gary's amusement.
  • Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: In a world that wouldn't be out of place in a Slice of Life or Teen Drama, Gary Smith stands out as a particularly sadistic, sociopathic, and manipulative young man. He's essentially the dangerous psychopath or mobster in his teenage years. It's telling that even the other students know he's a sociopath, so they go to great lengths to avoid any form of association or interaction with him.
  • Villain Cred: Gary Smith is renowned in the cliques for his sadism, though Jimmy doesn't quite believe it.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: Crabblesnitch lauds him as a role model who isn't afraid of being an "unpopular leader." Doubtless this was his interpretation of why the cliques all loathe Smith, yet seemingly follow him without question.
  • Was It Really Worth It?: Jimmy delivers this to him after he took over Bullworth Academy and turned it into a chaotic hellhole.
    Jimmy: Oh, congratulations. You're "smarter than me"! You hate everyone and everyone hates you! Genius!
  • We Win, Because You Didn't: Gary gloats about this in "Complete Mayhem", explaining that if Jimmy loses against him, he's just another bitch — but if the Head Boy is beaten up, Jimmy will be in even worse trouble. This winds up being moot when the Headmaster overhears his entire speech.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: Gary sees himself as some sort of master manipulator, who has the ability to read people like books and can easily manipulate them without effort. In actuality, Gary's silver tongue is simply knowing what buttons to press and where to direct the target. His "charm" consists of backbiting and sucking up to Crabblesnitch while everyone is busy fighting. In chapter 1, his medication kept him calm and level-headed but as soon as he's off them. He's barely restraining himself when he says he has big plans to take over Bullworth. His end goal makes no sense; have all the cliques fight each other, tie up Crabblesnitch, and lock everyone else out of school while he just watches the fight from inside. The only reason he gets kicked out in the first place is that Crabblesnitch heard him loudly gloating from the bell tower.
  • Your Mom: The last mistake he makes before Jimmy kicks his ass is insulting Jimmy's mother.

"I stand up for you and you still think I'm a dork."
Voiced by: Matt Bush

The less action-oriented of the trio, he's a smart but quiet boy who puts Jimmy's aggression to their advantage.


  • Almighty Janitor: As a social outcast, Pete is often ignored or avoided by the other cliques, however, Pete is considerably smart, possibly even rivalling Gary. His advice to Jimmy proved to be valuable in his campaign against the Preps and the Nerds, and he also zeroed in on Gary being the one plotting behind their backs.
  • Ambiguously Gay: Petey is suggested to be either bisexual or gay because of his shyness and lack of friends, not to mention an excruciatingly awkward joke he makes suggesting that Jimmy would make a good male stripper. He's also a fan of Bullworth's televised swim practice sessions, which feature both male and female participants.
  • Beneath Notice: He's largely ignored by the other cliques due to his social awkwardness and lack of fighting skills. Even Headmaster Crabblsnitch outright admits he hasn't heard of him.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Petey is a shy person who has trouble making friends but he's also the nicest of the main characters and extremely cunning as he's able to figure out how to beat the Nerds and the Preps.
  • Big Damn Heroes: He manages to appear in the junkyard and activate the magnet that gets Johnny Vincent off his bike, allowing Jimmy to beat him and take over the Greasers.
  • Bully Magnet: He's a target to practically everyone.
  • Butt-Monkey: Mocked by nerds, stuffed in a garbage can on Halloween night, and receiving no end of torment from his supposed 'friends'. He later admits he put up with Gary and Jimmy's abuse because it was better than the alternative.
  • Color Motifs: Pink, as shown by his pink shirt and pink bunny suit on Halloween, reflecting his social ineptitude and perceived weirdness.
  • The Consigliere: Jimmy solves his problems with violence, but he sometimes needs Pete to tell him where to direct that violence. Best demonstrated when Pete advises Jimmy to take on Bif Taylor in a boxing match to subdue the Preppies.
  • Custom Uniform: Wears the same blue and gold Bullworth vest that Jimmy has, and wears a pink shirt underneathnote 
  • Embarrassing Nickname: He really doesn't care for being called Petey, although he's too meek to do anything about it.
  • Extreme Doormat: He's extremely meek pushover that lets Gary, Jimmy and anyone else walk all over him do what they want.
  • Foil: His shy and cautious personality contrasts with both Jimmy and Gary, who are a school bully and a sociopath respectively. As such, he's considered to be a better candidate for head boy.
  • Groin Attack: Falls victim to this in "Slingshot".
    Gary: Don't lie, Petey. Don't you lie. Because you know what happens to liars?
    Petey: No, no. I'm not lying.
    Gary: We kick them in the balls. *kicks Petey in the groin*
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: Laments this to Jimmy after Gary goes off his rocker. His friends might have been a "snake" and a "psychopath", but he liked having a little clique of his own.
  • The Lancer: The Non-Action Guy with a strong moral center and aversion to violence to Jimmy's easily-influenced Blood Knight Anti-Hero.
  • Loners Are Freaks: Analyzed trope, in contrast to genuinely antisocial Gary Smith. Pete's solitude is taken as proof by the cliques that something's wrong with him.
  • Mistaken for Gay: Because of his pink shirt, lack of social skills, and avoidance of fighting, his masculinity is constantly mocked by Gary.
  • Morality Pet: To Jimmy. Though he treats him like a tag-along kid, he still protects him more than any other character. Might be because, to Jimmy, Pete represents the ultimate "helpless bullying victim".
  • Mundane Solution: After explaining how Jimmy previously tried to fight the preppies, Pete is the one who tells him to beat up Bif Taylor in a boxing match. He also directs Jimmy to Earnest when he fails to reason with Algie.
  • Nerdy Inhaler: One of his chatters mentions he might have a breathing problem.
    "Oh man, I gotta get checked out for my asthma..."
  • Non-Action Guy: The closest he comes to doing something action-y was during the boss fight against Johnny Vincent, where he operates an electromagnetic crane... after Jimmy knocks out every single Greaser who was in his way.
  • No-Respect Guy: Not even Jimmy, who is his only real friend, shows him much respect at all. At the very least, he does get to be the Head Boy at the end of the game.
  • Odd Friendship: Though he's typically the type of boy that a bully would target, he and Jimmy are rather good friends. Gary, in contrast, is a False Friend.
  • Only Sane Man: He continually tries to warn Jimmy about imminent dangers, but Jimmy neglects him more and more as his popularity increases.
  • Pink Is for Sissies: He also wears a pink bunny suit on Halloween, but only after being forced into it by Gary. Also, his Bullworth shirt appears to have been dyed in the wash.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Not nearly to the extent of Jimmy but during the few times he shows up as an NPC (or when spawning him with PC mods), he can hold his own against bullies like Trent and will regularly beat up nerds in a straight fight despite the height difference.
  • Tiny Schoolboy: The shortest teen character in the game, as he's even shorter than Jimmy and barely taller than the Little Kids! It really doesn't help him in a place like Bullworth. Gary, of course, lampshades it by mockingly suggesting that he's only just now hitting puberty.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: The Headmaster appointed him Head Boy offscreen.
  • You, Get Me Coffee: Pete almost never accompanies you into a mission, despite repeatedly asking. He does turn up unannounced in a few missions, and proves handy during the Johnny Vincent battle.

Cliques

Bullies

    General 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bulliesclique_6.jpg
"You can't mess with Russell's crew!"
Davis White
A clique low on the school hierarchy, their leader is Russell Northrop and they lack a second in command. A bunch of school Bullies who pick on the weaker kids and new meat. They antagonize Jimmy in Chapter 1, when he's new to Bullworth. Despite everything, they stay loyal to Jimmy the entire game after he defeats their leader in the first chapter. They fight like amateurs and use dirty tricks like kicks to the gut in combat. Their turf is the parking lot and the Boys' Dorm.

As A Whole

  • 2xFore: They'll occasionally spawn carrying wooden planks as weapons.
  • Always a Bigger Fish: They're just a gang of friends who attack Jimmy for being a newcomer. Once they're out of the way, the rest of the cliques become Jimmy's problem. Unlike the rest of the cliques, the bullies don't abandon Jimmy once Gary takes control.
  • Bandit Clan: They're not part of the pecking order and don't care for it. They just fight anyone weaker than themselves. However, they are, at least, above the Nerds in the pecking order.
  • Barbaric Bully: Their bullying extends further than just humiliation, taunting and fighting. They carry out complex plans for their harassment, mostly in Davis' case.
  • Batter Up!: They wield wooden baseball bats in a couple missions and occasionally in free roam.
  • Blood Knight: They revel in violence.
  • Boisterous Weakling: Many of them have rather enthusiastic trash-talking dialogue in a fight, but they're terrible fighters who usually lose the fights they pick with the upper cliques.
  • Book Dumb: Plenty of them mention struggling in school and spend more time harassing others and getting into fights.
  • The Bully: Obviously, they are the first gang who fight Jimmy for being a new kid.
  • Bully Brutality: According to the stories around the school, the worst being Russell smashing a science project on Donald's head.
  • Custom Uniform: Russel and his clique wear the normal Bullworth uniform without a sweater, jeans, skater shoes and untucked shirts. During the winter, most of them leave their shirts unbuttoned with skullies and hoodies underneath.
  • Fearless Fool: They're more aggressive when met at the parking lot, which means they're more willing to start fights with any other student even if they're from the stronger cliques.
  • Gang of Hats: They are a small gang of teens who serve Russell Northrop as they bully anyone weaker than themselves (namely the Nerds and Nom-Clique students). Unlike the other cliques, the bullies don't care about popularity or social standing as they just keep to themselves.
  • Home Base: The Boys' dorm, the school parking lot, and off campus, the In-N-Out Motel.
  • Leitmotif: Fast, intense breakbeat with a prominent bass guitar riff and a lot of percussive samples.
  • Light Is Not Good: A group of violent bullies identified by their white Bullworth shirts.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: They're not effective fighters and only go after people weaker than themselves. However, there are a number of stories from students describing Bully Brutality that members other than Russell have pulled. They also have access to Jimmy's tackled-grapple spitting finisher, which instantly knocks out any student, and the only reason that they don't use it is because of a programming oversight, though this wasn't the case with early PS2 copies.
  • Not Worth Killing: Nobody really bothers with the bullies, presumably because the overall group doesn't care for the clique pecking order anyway, are generally weak, Russell outclasses them, or some combination. It helps that the Bullies only go after non-clique students and Nerds, generally avoiding the other cliques unless provoked or in self-defence.
  • The Pigpen: They never clean their uniforms, causing stains to show.
  • Reformed Bully: Subverted as they remain loyal to Jimmy but they happily bully everyone else.
  • Starter Villain: As the first clique to harass Jimmy, they're collectively the primary antagonists of the first chapter. Russell himself doesn't count since he never actually leads the Bullies but he still ends up having to be dealt with in before the Bullies relent.
  • Thin-Skinned Bully: Defied. Despite what their methods may tell you, as noted above Boisterous Weakling, should any clique member wander into their turf they'll happily pick on them despite said clique member being capable of easily handing them their asses. This shows that despite mainly picking on those weaker than them, they're not cowards and will not hesitate to harass even experienced fighters just because they can.
  • Uncleanliness Is Next to Ungodliness: Their uniforms are dirty and unclean, reflecting their status as bullies.
  • Undying Loyalty: They're the first group Jimmy wins over and are the only ones to remain friends with him after his fall from grace. This is however Played With, as the members believed Gary's lies about Jimmy being responsible for the screw-ups occurring inside Bullworth Academy, and the only reason they didn't turn on him is that Russell (who is genuinely loyal to Jimmy) is in charge.
  • White Is Pure: Their faction color is their white shirts, which are stained and dirty because they regularly get into fights. It also shows how the bullies do not care for Bullworth's hierarchy as they aren't recognised as an official clique and they only target those deemed weaker than themselves.
  • Wimp Fight: The Bullies' modus operandi is harassing those weaker than themselves to feel better. They weren't expecting nor made for fighting, so fittingly, their combat skills boil down to flailing fists and kicks at the opponent. Russell makes up for it with pure strength.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Subverted, they're happy to bully girls but they won't fight them.

"That's it you little maggot... Russell's going to smash you to itty bitty bits!"
The leader of the Bullies Clique, a musclebound brute who can power bomb students, while also struggling with speaking in proper sentences. He has a recurring role in the story.
  • Arc Villain: The final boss of Chapter 1 and the first clique leader Jimmy fights.
  • Asskicking Leads to Leadership: He's the strongest student on Campus and somehow managed to form a cult of personality as the bullies follow him without question and are more known as Russell's crew or his boys.
  • Badass Boast: Some of his free roam dialogue is this, like "Russell is Bullworth Champion!" and "You don't know what pain is!".
  • Badass Biker: Russell steals a police motorcycle some time before Jimmy visits his house. He uses it to ram into the Townie barricade and it works surprisingly enough!
  • Barbaric Bully: The leader of the "Bullies" clique is a brutish giant who's too dumb to form intelligent sentences. Russel also mentions in free roam chatter that he would definitely be a barbarian king in the right time period.
  • The Big Guy: Russell has various medical issues, both stated and or rumored. His size may be the result of gigantism or acromegaly, since he mentions that Nurse McRae told him he has overactive glands. According to Vance, Russell was once in a psycho ward.
  • Born in the Wrong Century: Some of his free roam chatter suggests he is the Marv of Bully's universe. "Russell would be barbarian king thousand years ago!"
  • Bullfight Boss: During his boss battle, the most reliable way to chip away at his fairly large health pool is by waiting for him to charge and then letting him hit one of the arena's walls. This will stun him for quite a while, leaving him open to a lot of free hits.
  • Chekhov's Skill: Russell's literally hard head comes in handy for breaking down Bullworth's gate in the finale.
  • Damage-Sponge Boss: At 800 HP, he is the toughest character in the entire game at least when encountered in the overworld. He actually has less health (650 HP) during his boss fight but that's still considerably greater than any of the adults or other clique leaders who max out at 500 HP.
  • Defeat Means Friendship: He's the only clique leader who never turns on Jimmy after being beaten. Like the other bullies, Russell will offers to be your bodyguard in free roam mode. He'll also defend you during "Complete Mayhem", later chasing off a cowardly pair of Prefects.
    "GET OFF MY LITTLE BUDDY! RAWR!"
  • Disc-One Nuke: Can be hired as a bodyguard for just a dollar as early as Chapter 2, and no student in the school is even a threat to him in a fight. Not that Jimmy needs it.
  • The Dreaded: He's a force of nature on campus with even the prefects being afraid of him.
  • Dumb Is Good: Russell is staggeringly stupid, but nevertheless has a sense of justice, as evidenced when Jimmy makes him realize that his bullying is bad.
    "Inside Russell's thick skin; big heart of warrior poet."
  • Dumb Muscle: He can lift a full grown man with one hand and ram the front gates of Bullworth Academy open with his head. But he's evidently got an intellectual disability of some sort.
  • Eagleland: This becomes evident when listening to Jimmy's plans for taking back Bullworth: bribe and threaten everybody to stop fighting, and if that doesn't work, Russell will kick the crap out of everyone. ("Russell likes to hurt people! For peace!") Note also Russell's color scheme: a mop of red hair, white polo shirt, and blue jeans.
  • Evil Virtues: He values loyalty above all else, he targets Jimmy for beating up one of his friends, fights Jimmy because Gary told him Jimmy insulted Russel's mom, and he remains loyal to Jimmy after being told that bullying is wrong when the victim doesn't deserve it.
  • A Father to His Men: The first thing he does when he sees that Jimmy had beaten up one of his friends was to beat him up.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Albeit it's not so much Russell having a change of heart as it is Jimmy managing to point his bullying tendencies in a safer direction. We also learn that he's not a complete jerk, so he's most likely just misunderstood.
  • Hidden Depths: He resides in Old Bullworth Vale, the rich preppy neighborhood, implying his family is rather wealthy. He also notes that he's a bit of a warrior poet underneath his bulk and sadistic streak.
  • Hulk Speak: How he speaks normally. He even literally says "RUSSELL SMASH!" in combat.
  • Made of Iron: Russell can take an ungodly amount of punishment due to his size and strength. He crashes a whole damn motorcycle into the Townie Hideout's barricade (explosions included) and only comes out with slightly dirty clothes, he later headbutts Bullworth Academy's metal gate during the final mission. This only momentarily stuns him.
  • Meaningful Name: The name "Russell" means "little red one", and while he's far from little, he is a redhead.
  • Mental Handicap, Moral Deficiency: Russell has an unidentified condition that makes him look old before his time and his IQ appears to have affected his sense of right and wrong. As shown by how a frustrated Jimmy had to point out to Russell that it's wrong to bully weak kids and that Russell should be targeting other bullies.
  • Primal Chest-Pound: Likes to do this before attacking someone.
  • Screaming Warrior: He bellows his insults and threats during a fight against him. It's best seen with his boss battle.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Russell never sets foot in the school building and is a known felon, but he lives in the posh, Preppy-dominated suburb in Bullworth Vale, suggesting that his family is well off.
  • Starter Villain: He is the first character to antagonize Jimmy along with the rest of the bullies. Jimmy eventually has to fight him to complete Chapter 1.
  • Tattooed Crook: He has an unidentifiable tattoo on his upper left arm which can't be fully seen. Only the bottom half of the tattoo can be seen under his sleeve and might be an animal tattoo such as a wolf.
  • Too Dumb to Fool: Heavily implied to be the reason why Russell never turns on Jimmy at any point in the game following Chapter 1, as his limited intelligence means that he can't comprehend any of Gary's plans and is immune to his manipulation.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Jimmy after the end of Chapter 1. Being the only clique leader that doesn't turn on him and more or less always has his back when Jimmy asks for his help.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: Downplayed. He usually fights by just clumsily lashing out with his fists and legs, but this is still enough to knock out a champion boxer like Bif or any one of the Jocks in only a few hits, but he'll also pull off professional wrestling moves, which require some degree of technique, like a power bomb for his grapple move, and, in his boss fight, he even uses a submission hold in the form of a Boston Crab; something that also requires technique and skill.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Pulls out a powerbomb if he catches you in a grapple. During his boss fight he'll use a double axehandle and even the Boston Crab on poor Jimmy.
  • Younger Than They Look: His size, muscles, tattoo, and facial features makes him look older than a teenager. However it's been suggested in-game that he has a form gigantism. There's also the possiblity of him having held back a year due to his learning difficulties so he might actually be slightly older.

Davis White

"Screw you, new kid! This is what we do to teacher's pets around here."
Voiced by: Geoffrey Wigdor
A particularly cruel bully who brags about his speed and antagonizes Jimmy early on, providing the slingshot. The first considered boss of the game.
  • Brats with Slingshots: Seems to be his weapon as he uses a slingshot extensively in missions and free roam. Jimmy's first slingshot is actually stolen from Davis.
  • Cold Sniper: His boss fight has him shooting you with a slingshot while perched on top of a makeshift platform made out of wood and barrels.
  • The Dreaded: Is apparently this to the freshmen.
  • Elite Mook: Somewhat. He has his own fighting style but it's mainly used for the missions where he has to be chased down. If actually fought with this style using mods, it shows that he has more control over the Bullies' "technique," such as only throwing one punch, running as fast as Jimmy can and never running out of stamina.
  • Fragile Speedster: Tied with Wade for least-tough kid in the Bullies clique. However, there are a couple of missions where Jimmy has to chase him down, and it is quite tricky to keep up with him.
  • Freudian Excuse: His dialogue shows him to be one of the more sadistic bullies in the game but he also claims that his cousin ruined his childhood by bullying him and force-feeding him June bugs.
  • Hypocrite: As one of the holders of Melvin's character sheets, he runs the second Jimmy gets close and wants them back, dropping marbles in his path to lose him. Shoot him with a slingshot, and he starts complaining about "unfair fighting."
  • Noodle Implements: He makes specific schemes for his bullying when heard speaking in freeroam.
    Davis: All I need now is a bottle rocket and the plans will be all set!
    Davis: ...and then I have to give him a wedgie...
  • Sour Outside, Sad Inside: He's one of the most ruthless on campus bullies but he's implied to suffer emotional problems. He admits during free roam that he sometimes bursts into tears and can't stop crying.
  • Villain of Another Story: It's implied that Davis was the one who bullied Duncan the townie so badly that he dropped out, as Davis is often heard bragging about how he made a kid drop out of Bullworth and Duncan is often heard saying that he dropped out because of the bullying problem.
  • Warmup Boss: The first real boss fight, complete with a special titled health bar. He's mostly there to help you learn how to fight enemies from a distance and defeating him nets you a slingshot.

"Y'know, why does everyone make fun of ninjas? It's a sad place where people don't believe in ninjas."
Voiced by: Unknown
A kid particularly obsessed with ninjas and martial arts flicks.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Subverted. He's not even that great of a fighter, but he certainly acts like he is. Just like the other bullies, his "martial arts skills" boil down to flailing his limbs wildly in the direction of his opponent.
    Ethan: Last night, I dreamed I took out a whole army with my new Frog Style! I made it up, but I was a warrior, man!
  • Black and Nerdy: Subverted. His obsession with ninjas, asian martial arts, and martial art movies are all stereotypically nerdy, but he he is more of a bully than a nerd.
  • Chewing the Scenery: Just TRY and find a single line of dialogue where Ethan ISN'T talking like THIS! It can't be done! (Actually there are a few, but with the possible exception of Seth and Russell he's the hammiest character in the game)
  • Chuunibyou: Ethan is obsessed with ninjas and often proclaims that he's fighting in a specific animal style, when in reality he's using the same battle style as his clique.
  • Gratuitous Ninja: Evidently not gratuitous to Ethan. Not by a long shot. It's a sad world when people don't believe in Ninjas.
  • Obliviously Evil: Seems convinced that he's the protagonist in some kind of martial arts action movie rather than just another bully in a clique of them.
  • Occidental Otaku: Has a fascination with ninjas, Asian fighting styles like jujitsu, and Asian movies.

Voiced by: Connor Paolo
A paranoid punk that seems to regret his actions as a bully and thinks of himself as crafty.
  • Anti-Villain: Despite being one of the Bullies, he's implied to not enjoy harassing weaker students as much as the others in his clique. If you bully him, he sometimes notes that he had it coming. It doesn't show much though since he has such a small role in the story.
  • Badass Biker: Only according to him. If you pull off a successful bike trick near him, he'll comment that you've probably been taking his lessons.
  • Brooklyn Rage: Has this accent and is part of the aggressive Bullies clique.
  • Hidden Depths: He's disgusted with the way people take advantage of others. It's also implied that he only hangs out with the Bullies because they're his friends.
  • Out of Focus: Oddly, he only takes part in The Setup as backup for Davis and doesn't appear in any other missions involving the Bullies. On the other hand, he's the only Bully without any pre-programmed behavior during the introductory mission, and as such the only one capable of randomly spawning. So, if you wander around campus during it instead of chasing your destination, you'll see a lot of Tom.
  • The Paranoiac: He seems to have trust issues, believing that everyone's out to get him and that there's some bigger scheme going on in the world.
  • Scars Are Forever: His most distinguishing characteristic is his apparently permanent black right eye with a little scar above on his eyebrow.
  • Shout-Out: He hates shoes and thinks he's smarter or more clever than he really is, just like another more famous Tom.

    "Am I handsome? Beat Yes, yes I am."

"If only I could get my glutes to be like Russell's..."
Voiced by: Evan Weinstein
Dumb muscle in the clique who takes after Russell’s image, partially out of romantic interest.
  • Ambiguously Gay: Zig-zagged. He has a few dialogue lines about girls and claiming he's not sexually confused, but half his dialogue is about how he can't stop thinking about guys or Russell's figure. To add to the confusion, he's not the kissable guy of his clique—Trent is.
  • Closet Key: Has one in Russell.
  • Dumb Muscle: He's not even that strong, but he acts dumber than most of the Jocks and is also one of the most active Bullies providing back-up in several missions and even acting like a henchman to Trent in "Character Sheets".
  • Fiery Redhead: If him being a bully and having bright ginger hair isn't a hint on it's own, then his arrogant attitude is another.
  • No Indoor Voice: Most of his dialogue is him talking extremely loud.
  • Super Serum: One of his voicelines indicates that he takes (at least what he thinks are) steroids. Considering how he's still rather weak and thinks that they aren't working, this is pretty much subverted.

"Wanna see me lose it?! HUH DAD?! I mean, YOU'RE DEAD!"
Voiced by: Matt Monroe
A hot-blooded kid with anger issues and an awful family life. He’s the first kid that challenges Jimmy at Bullworth.
  • Abusive Parents: Of the neglectful variety, mostly with his father being a serious alcoholic. He also thinks this of his mom just for making him do homework.
  • Brats with Slingshots: The only Bully aside from Davis to carry a slingshot.
  • Brother–Sister Incest: Not intended, but he can sometimes be seen making out with Christy (who's widely thought by fans to be his sister). This is because the game designers would have had to write special code to make sure they didn't, and they either didn't bother, or didn't realize - see all the confusion about names.
  • Evil Laugh: He breaks into this a lot, especially when mocking people.
  • Freudian Slip: While fighting:
    "You wanna see me lose it? HUH, DAD?! I mean, you're dead!"
  • Fiery Redhead: Hot tempered dude with red hair.
  • Hot-Blooded: Delivers his lines with a lot of energy and vitriol.
  • Screaming Warrior: Thanks to the loud deliveries of his lines.
  • Warmup Boss: The first mandatory fight where you're introduced to the basic melee mechanics of the game.

Greasers

    General 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/greasersclique.jpg
Gary: They think they're tough.
Jimmy: Or at least try to look tough.
Gary: Wouldn't advise messing with them. At least not yet.
This Is Your School
The second toughest clique in Bullworth, led by Johnny Vincent. Unlike the Nerds or the Jocks, they're not the kind of clique you'd find in school these days. Rather, they're part of Bully's attempt to incorporate parts of 50s culture, in this case the Greaser Delinquents. They are rivals with the more refined, rich, and snobbish Preppies. The token female Greaser, Lola Lombardi, Really Gets Around, even though she's the girlfriend of the Leader, Johnny Vincent. Her constant adultery starts off the plot to Chapter 3, where the Greasers initially enlist Jimmy's help and later turn on him when he decides to go after her. They use a dirtier, street fighting style in contrast to the Extremity Extremist Preps, using kicks, wrestling moves and slingshots. They hang around by the autoshop as their territory and are found around New Coventry.

As A Whole

  • All Girls Want Bad Boys: What they believe as a subculture. Their members' success with this varies.
  • Arch-Enemy: To the Preps. Chapter 3 ends in the two cliques having a "rumble" so severe that the police gets involved.
  • Badass Biker: Zigzagged. They're the clique who's more into biking than any other cliques. They're the only clique seen in the BMX park during free roam, easily defeat the Preps in said BMX park, and in the boss fight Johnny even chooses to duel with Jimmy while riding on a bike, wielding a pipe. But all of them are defeated by Jimmy in the second storyline bike race.
  • Badass Driver: Are the Final Boss of the Go-Kart races.
  • Bad Guys Play Pool: Downplayed. They're tough guys whose hideout used to be a pool place.
  • Bare-Fisted Monk: Notably the only Clique, whose members incorporate kicks in their fighting, and not the sloppy kind like the awkward flailing kicks that the Bullies use. With the exception of Norton and Hal, they all seem use some form of mixed martial arts.
  • Blood Knight: When Johnny pushes around Cornelius in "Wrong Part Of Town", the Greasers cheer him on and they beat up the nerd gleefully when Johnny commands them to. Members tend to have varying degrees of enjoyment from fights.
  • Brats with Slingshots: Peanut, Lucky and Ricky fight from a distance when they can with slingshots.
  • Brooklyn Rage: They all talk in New York accents and are a tough bunch.
  • The Casanova/Casanova Wannabe: They all have dialogue about getting with girls and failing to get with them at times.
  • Carry a Big Stick: They'll occasionally spawn carrying wooden planks as weapons.
  • Cultured Badass: Ironically they show more knowledge of culture than the Preps, as various members allude to The Illiad, The Outsiders, and possibly West Side Story in their dialogue.
  • Custom Uniform: Johnny and his clique all wear the regular uniform (i.e. blue vest over a white shirt), but wear some form of jacket over them. While most of the clique wear leather jackets, Lefty and Lucky wear denim instead.
  • Expy: They all love Bikes, are ladykillers, kick ass, and mostly Italian even though 50's era greaser had not just Italian-Americans. Sounds pretty much like the most popular old timey greaser ever, The Fonz.
  • Force and Finesse: The Force against the Preps' Finesse. They prefer a rougher street-fight over the more strategic bobbing and weaving that the Preppies do.
  • Gang of Hats: They are composed of working-class and lower-class teens from New Coventry. They can be identified by their leather jackets and gelled their hair as they try to cultivate an image of cool and rebellious teens from the Greaser subculture.
  • Grease Monkey: The entire Clique hangs around the auto shop and shown to be working on cars in the shop class cutscenes. They show a much more offended tone when you steal their bikes, and they're tough when you compete in bike and go-kart races against them.
  • Greaser Delinquents: Duh.
  • Hell-Bent for Leather: The clique all wear either black or brown leather jackets over their school uniforms with the exceptions of Lucky and Lefty who wear denim.
  • High-Speed Battle: The mission where you have to lure Gord and other Preps to the BMX park leads to everyone duking it out by tossing firecrackers at each other while riding on their bikes. Their bike race mission in the storyline involves Jimmy and the Greasers willing to punch each other off the track. Later, you have to lose the Greasers throwing firecrackers and chasing after Chad and Algie with a slingshot, also on all of your bikes. The final mission of their chapter has you chase after Johnny while getting away from the cops behind you.
  • Home Base: The auto shop on campus, New Coventry and the abandoned Tenements off campus. There's also the Blue Balls Pool House that Jimmy fights them for.
  • Hot-Blooded: A trait that really separates them from the calmer, cockier Preppies, which shows in cutscenes too. When Jimmy ignores the Prep Gord's offer to box with them, he calmly reacts with a dumbfounded "Okay..." and goes on with his day. When Jimmy turns down Peanut's request for help, he gets angry and threatens Jimmy.
  • Informed Attribute: Their 50' gang theme is more a comparison than an intentional theme; the Greasers wear leather jackets, gel their hair, and are fond of vehicles and bikes. Their title as "Greasers" is actually in reference to their excessive use of hair gel and very few of them actually speak like a 50's stereotype. Their style makes them stand out as rebels who don't have a school-related theme (sports, education, wealth, etc.). Plus, if they did dress like modern-day delinquents then they would be either mistaken for Jocks who aren't wearing their uniform or Townies due to their non-standard uniform. Like the other cliques in Bullworth Academy, they are designed to wear their uniform under their leather jackets to prevent any comparisons to the Townies.
  • Informed Poverty: They are picked on by the Preps for being broke and they all live and hang out in New Coventry, a ghetto. Despite this, they are still able to attend Bullworth, a private school with tuition fees.
  • Kick Them While They Are Down: Or punch them in this case. In fact, the Greasers (excluding Johnny, Hal, and Norton) are the only characters besides Jimmy who will attack enemies knocked down to the ground.
  • Legacy Character: Rockstar uses Brooklyn Rage Italian tough guys alot in their games, no matter if their game takes place in A New York, Miami, Los Angeles, New York again, A retconned but still New York and Los Angeles again expies, even in a 50's era New England boarding school they still find ways to fit them in.
  • Leitmotif: A 50's style rock'n'roll theme, Fighting Johnny Vincent which plays at the end of chapter 3 is a cover of Jailhouse Rock's instrumentals with a little New Wave mixed in.
  • Outdated Outfit: Even with the 50s/60s culture Bully incorporates elements of, the Greaser subculture is apparently outdated with Jimmy even calling the second-in-command, Peanut, a "throwback".
  • Pretender Diss: The rougher-edged Townies mock them as such, and this can be considerable given the above Informed Poverty.
  • Roundhouse Kick: The group is skillful enough to pull these off, though with how they're animated, they can be seen as sloppily performed.
  • Smoking Is Cool: Plenty of them certainly seem to think so. They have a lot of dialogue of them glamorizing it, and some even enjoy secondhand smoke.
    • Smoking Is Not Cool: Also extends into this. If you outrun some of them, they may comment on how it's affected their health when they need to catch their breath.
  • Token Good Teammate: The clique is actually nice to Jimmy at the beginning of Chapter 3, and it's only through Derby manipulating Jimmy that they become hostile.

    Johnny Vincent 

Johnny Vincent

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/johnny_vincent.jpg
"Don't play dumb with me. Have you had her?"
Voiced by: Rocco Rosanio
The Greasers’ beloved leader. He actively seeks Jimmy’s help in seeing what Lola’s up to through Peanut, and he goes through any violent lengths to settle the score with whomever tries to get with her.
  • Arc Villain: the final boss of Chapter 3.
  • Arch-Enemy: To Derby, though it's only implied through small talk between the other students. They seldom mention each other in their dialogue, and in their few on-screen appearances together they come across as oddly chummy—however this interaction is only after Jimmy has forcibly united every clique under him.
  • All Your Powers Combined: He incorporates all of the Greasers' kicks and punches into his fighting style as a boss.
  • Boss-Altering Consequence: During his boss battle, if you knock out all the Greasers in Pete's way, he'll use the crane's electromagnet to pull Johnny's bike out from under him, forcing him to fight you on foot.
  • Benevolent Boss: Implied. Tellingly, while Derby sends his goons to do the dirty work while he's hiding behing a bar having a drink in his boss fight, Johnny fights alone while he lets his goons stay "safe" on higher ground throwing stuff at Jimmy. He even praises them after they manage to lure in and throw Jimmy off his bike.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: A defining trait. His hopelessly, hot-headed devotion to Lola combine with her casual infidelity drives the plot of Chapter 3 and his brief asylum stay during Chapter 5.
  • Cult of Personality: The greasers have somehow begun to worship Johnny as one of the most popular kids in school. He is so popular that they follow him without question and even dress like him (or at least try to, considering two members wear jean jackets).
  • Emasculated Cuckold: In chapter 3, he employs Jimmy to spy on Lola because he suspects her of cheating on him. When his suspicions are confirmed, he assaults the boy and his friends. However, Johnny becomes increasingly paranoid and tries to attack Algie for trying to seduce Lola. A claim that has no bearing on reality since he's the most unpopular guy in school and (according to Earnest) only likes blondes.
  • Expy: Of Salvatore Leone from GTA III another Rockstar game, they are both tough older Italian dudes with a hand in authority with a group of other tough Italian dudes (but Salvatore's is an actual Mafia instead of a bunch of Greaser Delinquents), and they both turn on the protagonists because they think that their significant others cheated on them with the player (Sal's didn't, Johnny's did).
  • Extremity Extremist: Averted in the game, but uncovered beta animations indicate that originally his fighting style was composed entirely of kicks.
  • A Father to His Men: Implied. Some Greasers have dialogue stating pity for Johnny for having a girlfriend who Really Gets Around, and in "Preppies Vandalized" Vance was willing to beat up Jimmy with Norton and Peanut, only to let him go because he rescued Johnny from the asylum.
  • Full-Name Basis: Lola and Peanut simply call him Johnny. Everybody else calls him Johnny Vincent.
  • Glass Cannon: Boasts one of the most damaging fighting styles in the entire game, but is less durable than most other boss fights.
  • Grapple Move: Unique among other kids in that there's no way to avoid it if he decides to use it.
  • Hot-Blooded: He wouldn't be a complete example of Greaser Delinquents if he wasn't
  • Hurricane Kick: Dummied Out, but still present in the game's files as one of his special moves.
  • Just Toying with Them: One of his lines during the fighting.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Johnny is actually one of the more dangerous clique leaders and is shown to have some genuine emotional issues. There are very few moments of comedy with Johnny and his establishing scenes involve discovering that Gord has been dating Lola, which Johnny responds to by ambushing Gord and his friends and beating them up in a skate park. Johnny then starts assaulting Chad and Algie under a fit of paranoia. It's also telling that the Townies only target Johnny Vincent instead of the entire clique as they have him lose his temper in public just so they can have him committed to an asylum.
  • Literal-Minded: On the old Bullworth Facebook, he's asked what part of school is most fulfilling. Misunderstanding the word for 'filling', he says lunch.
  • Love Makes You Crazy: Crazy enough to be considered insane and institutionalized by the local sadistic insane asylum and its orderlies. Apparently he flies off the handle when the Townies claim that they got with Lola.
  • Love Makes You Dumb: Chapter 3 wouldn't have happened if he didn't act like an idiot over Lola.
  • Mr. Fanservice: In-Universe, he's considered very attractive by most of the girls in school, including Mandy.
  • My Girl Is Not a Slut: What he so desperately wants to believe about Lola.
  • Not Himself: It's implied that Johnny did what he did in Chapter 3 out of rage over his girlfriend cheating on him. Earnest notes that Johnny's been acting crazy lately and he needs to come back to his senses. Johnny even looked pretty calm listening to Ricky and Hal talk in the introductory cutscene in the first mission.
  • Not So Above It All: Even though Johnny is willing to fight a whole gang of accomplished boxers because one of them was having a date with his girlfriend, he cheats on her as well.
  • Older Than They Look: He appears to be a senior or at least older than a lot of kids in the school. He also refers to Jimmy as kid constantly and calls Gord young.
  • Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Uses the term "wankers" even though he's not Cockney British, he's a Brooklyn Rage Italian guy.
  • Rank Scales with Asskicking: As the leader of the Greasers, his fighting style takes all of their punches and kicks on top of having his own unique and unblockable special moves.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: If the above traits weren't enough of a hint, then he's seriously devoted to Lola.
  • Spiteful Spit: After successful landing an axe-kick on an enemy.
  • Third-Person Person: Uses this a bit.
    Ain't nobody making a fool of Johnny Vincent!
    Oh, you took down Johnny Vincent!
    I'M JOHNNY VINCENT!
  • Tragic Villain: According to Chad Morris, both of Johnny's parents are in jail. In the game, Johnny's girlfriend, Lola, instigates the plot by having affairs with multiple boys despite Johnny's devotion to her and he seeks out Jimmy to investigate the situation (who ends up dating Lola as well despite earning Johnny's trust). Even Johnny's clique pities him and questions what he sees in Lola.
  • Trash Talk: Everyone has this but he's notable for having unique lines during two of his strongest attacks: Namely the aforementioned axe kick and his grapple-haymaker.
  • Unblockable Attack: Two of them, and they're very effective - The first one is his haymaker where he grapples the opponent and slams them down to the ground. The second one is his axe-kick where he rubs the opponent's face into the ground and spits on them.

"Tad and all the rich kids are coming here to fight Johnny and his boys. All because of me. I'm like Helen of Troy."
Voiced by: Phoebe Strole
Johnny’s girlfriend that shirks loyalty to him in favor of anyone she can lead on and use.
  • Alliterative Name: Lola Lombardi
  • At Least I Admit It: Admits to Norton that even if she genuinely loved Johnny, she wasn't a loyal girlfriend to him.
    Lola: I loved Johnny, not exclusively I'll grant you, but I loved him! Now he's gone.
  • Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: She's the token girl in the Greaser gang who wears a belly shirt instead of a school uniform. The school, for some reason, is forgiving on her for it. She does switch it for a sweater during the winter chapter, though.
  • Can't Live with Them, Can't Live Without Them: Pretty much how her side of her relationship with Johnny works. She appears to actually have feelings for him despite her cheating habits.
  • Comically Missing the Point: She willingly compares herself to Helen of Troy as if it's something to be proud of despite the two being complete opposites.
  • The Friend No One Likes: The Greasers (except for Johnny), don't like her because of her infidelity and how it's upsetting him.
  • Fille Fatale: She's pretty overtly sexual with her dialogue (bike races make her... excited) and she's already using her looks to con gifts and homework help out of the male students.
  • Favors for the Sexy: She's fully aware of her reputation as a slut and strings along any boy who catches her eye. She's actually very selfish and manipulates the boys for money or for better grades. It is implied that she does care for Johnny, but she'll never take responsibility for his anger issues.
  • Going Commando: Implied. Trent claims that she falls under this trope, though it's possible that it's wishful thinking on his part...then again, it IS Lola we're talking about.
    Trent: Lola doesn't wear underwear, she showed me.
  • Hate Sink: Lola is one of the most unlikable characters by far. She takes advantage of every guy around her and the only times she's ever nice to anyone, including Jimmy, it's just to gauge how she can exploit them and will immediately turn nasty if she can't. For perspective, even the Alpha Bitch cheer captain Mandy and Rich Bitch preppy girl Pinky are given some moments to show there's more to them than their initial characterization suggests, but Lola's characterization pretty much starts and stops at "self-absorbed, manipulative tramp". Even after winning her affection, Jimmy can barely stand her, and none of the Greasers, sans Johnny, are particularly fond of her either.
  • The Heavy: Serves as this for Chapter 3 as the main source of conflict between the Greasers and the Preps.
  • Hell-Bent for Leather: She wears a leather jacket over a pink belly shirt and tight leather pants. No clue how she gets away with it since Bullworth is supposed to have a school uniform.
  • Hidden Depths: Seriously. Blink and you'll miss hearing it, but she philosophizes about the point of life and humanity. She also enjoyed reading The Iliad. It's where she gets her comparison to Helen of Troy from.
  • In Love with Your Carnage: Implied to be the reason she's so unfaithful to Johnny despite insisting how much she loves him; his temper and mood swings apparently to arouse her.
    Lola: Oh I love it when you get angry, Johnny. I really do. You're so... bestial!
  • In-Universe Factoid Failure:
    • Lola compares herself to Helen of Troy because both the Preppies and the Greasers are fighting over her. Unlike Lola, Helen was a choiceless victim who was deeply upset about the situation she was in. Lola, on the other hand, is proud of the discord and was directly responsible for the fight between the Greasers and Preppies by flirting with both sides for personal gain.
    • Lola also appears to have the roles of Paris of Troy and Menelaus of Sparta mixed up; the preppies are fighting to take her back to Old Bullworth Vale, while the Greasers are fighting to keep her in New Coventry. Helen of Troy was originally known as Helen of Sparta, and Menelaus was fighting Paris to bring Helen back to Sparta. However, it might be a case of Lola's arrogance as she thinks she's above the Greasers and believes she belongs with the Preppies.
  • Irony:
    • She proudly compares herself to Helen of Troy from The Iliad in the final battle, when she's anything but. Briefly summarised: Helen of Troy was wrongly blamed for the Trojan war as she was mainly portrayed as a choiceless victim who felt guilty and powerless about the situation she found herself in. Depending on the telling: Aphrodite arranged a marriage between Helen and Paris of Troy while she was still married to Menelaus of Sparta, in other tellings, Helen was either seduced by Paris or she was abducted because of her beauty. In Bully, Lola is the instigator of the fight because she flirted with the preppies for money, and flirted with Algie so he'd do her homework for her. She didn't think twice about Johnny and revelled in the attention since it meant that Johnny was fighting over her.
    • In another bit of irony, she's gotten the roles of Menelaus of Sparta and Paris of Troy mixed up. If Lola was being true to the comparison; she should be in Old Bullworth Vale as Johnny and the Greasers go there to take her back to New Coventry. Instead, she remains in New Coventry as the preppies go there to fight for her hand and take her to Old Bullworth Vale. In The Iliad, Helen was originally from Sparta until she was taken to Troy (hence her original name Helen of Sparta, which was changed to Helen of Troy while she lived with Paris). She returned to her home in Sparta when Menelaus won the war after expressing her guilt. If it wasn't clear enough; Johnny is Menelaus of Sparta, while Gord is Paris of Troy in this analogy. However, it might be a case of Lola's arrogance as she thinks she's above the Greasers and believes she belongs with the Preppies due to their wealth.
  • It's All About Me: She gets upset when Johnny is angry with her, but never figures out that her casual infidelities are what keeps setting him off.
  • Living MacGuffin: Her role in the Greaser chapter is what keeps the plot moving; Johnny suspects she's cheating on him, his suspicions are confirmed, Lola immediately starts an affair with Jimmy who eventually dumps her after realizing she's not worth the trouble. The final fight against Johnny is because everyone is fighting for her hand, whereas, Jimmy is fighting to assert dominance.
  • Ms. Fanservice: While Cristy, Pinky and Zoe shares those traits, she's easily one of the most attractive looking women in the game consisting with a sexy black shoulders that gives Male Gaze buttocks, a leather jacket and a belly shirt.
  • Never My Fault: Lola never takes responsibility for her actions, even as Johnny winds up in the asylum for his anger towards Lola for her many infidelities.
  • No Dress Code: How she manages to get away with her outfit in Bullworth is a mystery.
  • Pink Is Erotic: Downplayed. Lola is a promiscuous character who seduces boys for personal gain and to get a reaction from Johnny. Her character design consists of a pink crop top under her leather jacket or a pink sweater during the Greaser chapter.
  • Plot-Inciting Infidelity: The events of chapter 3 are a result of Lola toying with Algie and the preppies so they'd do favors for her. Johnny figured out that Lola was cheating on him with a preppie and hired Jimmy to confirm his suspicions.
  • Really Gets Around: Yep. Chapter 3 starts with her cheating on Johnny with Gord. She also cheats with Chad, and even led Algie on. She does the same with Jimmy, though he leaves her on his own accord.
  • Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful!: She manages to use her looks to escape punishment from the brawling cliques.
  • Sex Is Violence: She's aroused by her partners fighting over her and she goes out of her way to flirt with other boys so she can get a reaction from Johnny.
  • Shameless Fanservice Girl: Exploited, Lola wears a leather jacket, belly shirt and tight leather pants combo. She frequently manipulates her admirers and constantly toys with Johnny's emotions for attention.

"What can I do next to please Johnny? I mean Lola! I mean..."
Voiced by: Joe Aro
Johnny’s right-hand man. He’s obsessed with currying Johnny’s favor and does anything that he can to appease the clique.
  • Ambiguously Bi: Has a crush on Ms. Philips and antagonizes Jimmy when it appears he scored a date with her, even though the Greasers and Jimmy are on good terms, he also has some kind of obsession with Johnny Vincent, and it's not subtle:
    How're we gonna get to Johnny?
    Give me back my ball! JOHNNY!
    Look at me, Johnny, look at me!
    No time. I gotta see Johnny now.
    Gotta help Johnny.
    What can I do next to please Johnny? I mean Lola! I mean...
    Johnny is going to show everyone who's the boss around here.
    Johnny is too good for Lola, if you ask me.
    I'm really gonna help Johnny bang some heads this semester.
    Where's Johnny? Has anybody seen Johnny?
    I hope Johnny is not pissed off at me.
    If Johnny finds out, he's gonna kill me.
    Last time I saw her, Lola made eyes at me, not Johnny!
    Aaah, mommy! Johnny...
    S-Sorry... Johnny...
    I-I did it for Johnny...
    JOHNNY! A fire!
    You wanna score some points with me and Johnny?
    Johnny’ll like it if you help me out.
    I gotta tell Johnny!
    Let me help you, like Johnny helped me.
    Johnny! Johnny!
    Ugghh... Johnny...! Lola...!
    sobbing* Johnny...! *sobs*
    What does Lola see in Johnny that I don't?
  • Book Ends: He started Chapter 3 asking Jimmy for help at Johnny Vincent's request. He ends it being chased down by Jimmy at the Big Rumble, who's looking for Johnny.
  • Brats with Slingshots: He's one of the Greasers capable of using slingshots.
  • Compensating for Something: His nickname "Peanut" is implied to be a reference to his size... down there.
  • Malaproper: When Jimmy hires him as a bodyguard:
    "I'll be your ears, eyes and fish, Jimmy!"
  • The Napoleon: He's not even that short, but he's convinced he is, and tends to become irate about it.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Not even the yearbook makes any reference of his real name. According to Chad, his real name is actually Larry, but everyone just calls him Peanut.
  • Speech Impediment: He has a slight lisp.
  • Strong as They Need to Be: He's usually not much tougher than the average student, but he has a much larger life bar when you fight him towards the end of "The Rumble".
  • Verbal Tic: Uses "Hero" mockingly as an insult, and he insults a lot of people.
  • Yes-Man: Although he's the second in command of the Greasers he can hardly be considered The Dragon - he isn't well respected at Bullworth Academy and his job seems to be mostly delivering messages and generally kissing up to Johnny rather than leading the Greasers in the field when Johnny isn't around.

"After I'm done hitting you, I'm gonna sit on you!"
Voiced by: Leonard Spinelli
A street wrestler who prides himself on his size, gut, and strength.
  • Big Eater: Hal's loves to eat and he aspires to form a club where they go out and eat.
    "I'm gonna start up a club, like a Fight Club. Only, instead of fighting, we'll eat cheeseburgers."
  • Book Ends: Appears with Johnny and Ricky in the Greaser's introductory cutscene in "This is Your School", Hal and the two are later fought in the last mission with Hal spray painting the Girl's dorm wall while Ricky and Johnny egg him on. They are the only clique to do this book-end.
  • Chubby Chaser: He has crushes on Edna and Eunice because they are fat like him, he also believes women could be more attractive if they put some weight on them.
  • Elite Mook: Uses guard-breaking combos, a damaging Grapple Move, and has higher health than most of the other free-roaming Greasers.
  • Fat Bastard: He's a member of the greasers and he bullies everyone else.
  • Fat and Proud: He's proud of his weight and believes he's tougher than most kids due to his heft. His insults also consist of skinny shaming people, however, it's implied by his dialogue to be a coping mechanism as his mother's therapist said that it's a coping strategy for some emotional problems.
  • Hidden Depths: One piece of dialogue has him scold a greaser for smoking, citing it's bad for their health, even though they do it all the time and Lefty has an obsession with them. He also likes war and natural disaster footage even when Lucky is bored of them.
  • Horror Hunger: Discussed, he thinks aloud about what human meat would taste like and argues that if veal is delicious, then so should human meat.
    "If veal is more delicious because it's made from a baby cow, then baby human has got to be the most delicious thing of all."
  • Insane Troll Logic: Thinks that the Hobo spending money on food instead of booze would make him less homeless.
  • Kevlard: Unlike the other fat kids (Melvin, Ray and Fatty), Hal's weight doesn't slow him down or make him weak in a fight. He's tied for 2nd strongest Greaser with Norton, he's 3rd toughest character within the Greaser clique (tied with Johnny Vincent and Norton Williams), and he has more hitpoints and a more damaging fighting style than the average Bullworth student.
  • Killer Bear Hug: Hal's special move is that he can lift his opponent and crush them with a bear hug.
  • Named After Somebody Famous: Shares the surname Esposito, with Joe Esposito, the road manager of Elvis Presley, the singer who influenced the Greaser subculture.
  • Real Women Have Curves: Discussed, Hal believes the women at Bullworth would be more attractive if they gained weight and he repeatedly skinny shames people.
  • Stout Strength: Hal is the only obese student who can fight effectively with his weight and strength, he also shares the same moveset as Norton (both can perform a bearhug attack that deals a lot of damage to the target).
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Fights in a wrestling stance and uses a bearhug from a grapple.

Voiced by: Mike Nathan
A greaser with a good head on his shoulders who is all too willing to get into a fight.
  • Brats with Slingshots: Can use these if given enough distance in combat.
  • Casanova Wannabe: He really thinks he's a ladies man, despite his lack of success with them. Seems eternally optimistic that the next girl he hits on is going to fall for him no matter how often it doesn't happen.
  • Dislikes the New Guy: He dislikes Jimmy even after he wins the student body's approval.
  • Hidden Depths: Looks like just another Greaser. Advocates staying in school, and learning a trade even if you do choose higher education as well.
  • Incoming Ham:
    "I can destroy anyone! ANYONE!"
  • The Prankster: Asks Jimmy to trip people with a bag of marbles during Halloween night.
  • Screaming Warrior: See "Incoming Ham" above.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Not the biggest one on campus, but he still has a pretty inflated view of himself, and is frustrated when others don't feel the same way about him. He also thinks he could take anyone on in a fight and makes excuses for why he apparently lost a fight to a boxer.
  • Verbal Tic: Uses "S.O.B" as an insult. Not "son-of-a-bitch," just S-O-B.

"I just love wrecking things with my hammer!"
Voiced by: Adam Chanler-Berat
Tied with Hal for the strongest of the Greasers behind only Johnny. When he resides in the tenements, he wields a large hammer.
  • Bruiser with a Soft Center: He contemplates poetry and artwork, he also says that he cried at the ending of "The Outsiders". His dialogue shows loyalty to Johnny and displays a preference to avoid fighting.
  • Carry a Big Stick: "The Tenements" ends with a showdown with Norton — and his sledgehammer, but not just any kind of sledgehammer, one with a massive head. This would be a good time to load the slingshot and run.
  • Deadpan Snarker: If he's not riled up, most of Norton's dialogue consists of snarky observations on what's going on around him.
  • Elite Mook: Uses guard-breaking combos, a damaging Grapple Move, and has higher health than most of the other free-roaming Greasers.
  • Hidden Depths: Played with. Norton occasionally makes remarks that makes him appear like the stereotypical tough guy with a soft side, but makes a few rare remarks that imply this is a cultivated behavior on his part. On the other hand, he's one of a few characters with a plan for after he graduates, and he's a little bit more familiar with nerd-dom in general than someone who isn't a nerd usually is.
  • Gentle Giant: Sort of. He still bullies and fights, but he also likes to contemplate poetry and artwork.
  • Killer Bear Hug: Norton's special move is that he can lift his opponent and crush them with a bear hug.
  • Large and in Charge: Although Norton claims not to have any rank within the clique, he's seen taking a leadership role on two different occasions when Johnny isn't available.
  • Leet Lingo: He references it disparagingly when fighting a nerd.
    Norton: If you say owned, pwned, or ownage, I'm going to make this hurt a lot more than it has to.
  • Mighty Glacier: He'll absolutely wreck Jimmy with his hammer in The Tenements if the player opts to fight him at close-range, but he moves pretty slowly thanks to the absolute size of his sledgehammer and thus can be taken down easily using the long-ranged Slingshot or the Rocket Laucnher.
  • Strong as They Need to Be: He's normally somewhat more resilient than most students but during said boss encounter in "The Tenements", he boasts a healthbar equal to Russell during his boss fight. He also gains other attributes such as completely no-selling grapples attempts and uniquely never being stunned by any sort of damage. Trying to take him on at close-range is a bad idea.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Fights in a wrestling stance and uses a bearhug from a grapple.

Jocks

    General 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jocksclique.png
From left to right: Damon West, Ted Thompson, Juri Karamazov.
Gary: These guys rule the school. Definitely avoid them.
Jimmy: Whatever, I'm not afraid of some dumb 'roid monkeys.
Gary: You'll learn.
This Is Your School
The most powerful clique in school, their leader is the Quarterback Ted Thompson and their second in command is Damon West. They are the traditional Jerk Jocks of Bullworth and can antagonize Jimmy for most of the game. It escalates by Chapter 4, where Jimmy decides to go after them once he's already gone through the other cliques. They fight with sports gear, with most incorporating football tackles into their combat while two members who are not part of the football team fight with pro-wrestling moves and grapples. They hang around the athletic wing and in the gym.

As A Whole

  • Animal Motif: Bulls, justified because as the school sports team, they are required to wear Bullworth's bull emblem as part of their uniform. They also have a bull mascot, "The Big Game" has cow bells as part of the soundtrack, and the group is known for being quick-tempered as they attack anyone on sight who isn't a jock or has low respect from them. The clique is also fixated on manliness and behave in a hypermasculine way, they believe that violence, wrestling, and football are ways of proving their manhood, likely referencing how bulls are symbols of virility and masculinity. There is also a bull on the Bullworth academy crest, likely representing them on the crest.
  • Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Subverted in the group itself, as their star quarterback is the preferred leader over their very strong linebacker. Played straight when considering the overall group compared to the rest of the campus, as much of the team of athletes dominate most of the other cliques' members physically and socially.
  • Big Game: Their boss level, befitting for a game based on old high school movies and stereotypes. The level has Jimmy fight the entire football team, while the quarterback throws firecrackers attached to footballs at Jimmy while the entire school watches. It's also raining.
  • Blood Knight: They'll take any excuse to fight and love every second of it.
  • Climax Boss: Defeating them is basically the turning point of the plot where Jimmy takes over the school.
  • Close-Range Combatant: They're the only clique in which none of their members may switch to a long-ranged weapon.
  • Custom Uniform: Ted wears a gym outfit with a varsity jacket. Most of his clique wear some form of athletic gear instead of the normal uniform.
  • The Dreaded: Even Gary knows not to mess with them directly. As the most popular and physically fit group on campus, they've settled their place as the toughest and highest in the campus' social hierarchy.
  • Dumb Muscle: They're all idiots, but dangerous idiots to be sure. They have very little respect for education and it's been proven that they've been strong-arming the nerds into doing their homework. They also fight as a unit and are among the most dangerous fighters in the game.
  • Enemy Mine: Strangely, they're the only clique that entirely averts this trope. Whereas Jimmy teams up with all of the other cliques at least once during the story, outside of errands there are no missions that involve teaming up with the jocks in any capacity.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: They are absolutely disgusted by the pictures of Mandy and their actions in Defender of the Castle are motivated by revenge, as they assault The Observatory for what they did to Mandy.
    Bo Jackson: Don't mess with Mandy, she's our girl!
  • Flat Character: The jocks have the least characterization of the cast, as they are just the reigning popular kids who have to be humbled and dethroned by Jimmy so he can become king of the school. Since they are already the most popular kids in school, they aren't tempted by Gary's plans and have no real issues for Jimmy to fix. Their chapter consists of missions from the nerds and the only jock who does get a form of character development is Mandy.
  • Gang of Hats: The jocks are the school's football team and are regarded as the toughest and most popular kids in school. They're as dumb as a post and despite their strength and durability, they aren't too hard to fight one-on-one. When they fight as a pack, however, then they can quickly overwhelm and overpower their target.
  • The Grappler: Not only does every member have some form of Grapple Move, they're the only clique to have three different variations of a Grappler-type fighter:
    • Casey and Bo are standard Grapplers, either performing a knockdown strike from a grapple or restraining their foe to allow their allies to get free hits in.
    • Luis and Juri are Elite Mook wrestlers, in group fights they'll also restrain an enemy for their allies but when fighting solo, they'll instead show off some damaging wrestling moves. Also from a distance, they may use a running tackle to spear enemies into a grounded grapple.
    • Ted, Damon, Dan, and Kirby are the most atypical, being more focused around strikes but have a unique Leaping football tackle that's effectively an Unblockable Attack that forces enemies into a grounded grapple.
  • Groin Attack: The jocks tends to use this if they manage to grapple someone to the ground. Some of their quotes for being hit in the groin imply that they do this to each other.
    Kirby: DARRRRGH Thank you sir may I have another?!
  • Home Base: They are typically seen in the athletic wing near the fountain and around the gym. There's also the Jock's Clubhouse that Jimmy can use if he beats them at dodgeball.
  • Hufflepuff House: Other cliques have whole chapters dedicating them. The jocks have only four missions in their name. Their own leader doesn't get much screentime compared to any of the other clique leaders.
  • I Know Madden Kombat: Ted and all the other jocks tend to incorporate sports into their combat whether it be boxing punches, football tackles, throwing explosive footballs, using baseball bats or pro wrestling moves.
  • Informed Attribute: For a bunch of Jocks they don't really have a wide variety of sports to choose from, The Sport most shown around Bullworth and relevant to the story is Football, and all but 2 Jocks are on the football team, there's also the dodgeball team that only 4 jocks are on, baseball bats are scattered around everywhere, but no one uses them for actual Baseball, Pete is seen watching the Bullworth Swim team on TV even though the pool in the gym is always empty, the soccer and basketballs seen everywhere are never used aside from Luis Luna's keep ups and Constantinos' game, and the 2nd most referenced sport the jocks are into is wrestling. Jimmy has wrestling classes that teaches him grapples, and Luis, Juri, and the cut "Bob" character uses wrestling moves in their fighting style.
  • Interim Villain: The jocks appear to be the only clique who aren't aligned with Gary or is shown interacting with him, they are the most popular students in Bullworth and are more interested in bullying the nerds and training for the big game. Once they are defeated, Gary turns all the cliques against each other and turns them against Jimmy.
  • Jerk Jock: They are the reigning popular kids who attack anyone weaker than themselves.
  • Leitmotif: A fast-paced, electronic variation of the Bullworth overworld theme with a Crowd Chant mixed in.
  • Might Makes Right: Their clique is the school's football team and rely on strength to assert dominance over the other cliques. They mainly fight the Nerds because they are the weakest faction who can't stand up for themselves. The team follows their Quarterback, Ted, who will immediately lose leadership over the clique if someone proves themselves as better than him.
  • Mistaken for Gay: There's a persistent rumour that the jocks have played "Naked Twister" with each other and a lot of the insults directed at the jocks are based on calling them gay or how they love having showers together.
  • Politically Correct Villain: It's also shown they are very protective of women as they storm the observatory after the Nerds humiliated Mandy through revenge porn.
  • Psycho Serum: Jimmy wastes no time insulting them for their increased aggression that may or may not be linked to steroid use.
  • Super Serum: It's joked and rumored that, at Mr. Burton's behest, plenty of the Jocks take some form of steroids to increase their strength and durability.
  • Unblockable Attack: Damon, Kirby, Dan, and Ted all have a leaping football tackle in their movesets that cannot be blocked. If it connects, it ends with them having their opponent in a ground grapple.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Most of the Jocks will still bully and even attack Jimmy despite the latter's effort in putting out the fire in the gym and saving several students trapped inside, all because Jimmy's Jocks respect is below 50%.
  • Villain of Another Story: Ted and the jocks are the most popular students in Bullworth and they actively bully the nerds. Once Jimmy defeats them, he becomes the king of the school until Gary turns the cliques against him in the very next mission.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: The jocks are one of the most bloodthirsty cliques in the game and they use their training and muscles to exclusively bully the nerds. However, the teachers are usually too aloof to punish them and Mr. Burton encourages bullying to toughen the other students.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: All the Jock mooks in "Funhouse Fun" are actually afraid of the funhouse and want to get out.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Downplayed, as the wrestling moves come from members of the school's wrestling team, but it's still applicable since these are regular highschoolers capable of pulling off some pro-wrestling moves.

"You're dead Hopkins!"
The star quarterback of Bullworth’s football team, and thus the most popular kid and jock in school. His athletic background and ego from his reputation at school causes him to antagonize Jimmy by Chapter 4.
  • All-American Face: He invokes this trope in a decent chunk of his unused dialogue and he's certainly got the popularity to support that image.
  • Alliterative Name: Ted Thompson.
  • Arc Villain: Serves as the final boss of Chapter 4.
  • Arch-Enemy: To Earnest.
  • Bait-and-Switch: Despite all of the hype throughout game about the eventual showdown with Ted (paiting him as the Final Boss), his boss fight has him as a Tennis Boss protected by his fellow Jocks while he throws exploding footballs at Jimmy. When Jimmy breaks through his defensive line, Ted runs away from Jimmy and will go down in a single punch.
  • Bullying a Dragon: Tries bullying Jimmy despite being present when he took down Russell and heard that he beat the Greasers and Preps into submission.
  • Busman's Vocabulary: While you might not notice it due to Ted being Out of Focus, he's Bullworth Academy's Star Quarterback and the vast majority of his in-game quotes are either football puns or just football related.
    (Mid-combat) I'm penetrating your defense!
  • The Chains of Commanding: Ted is only the leader because he was selected to be the quarterback, a position that involves giving commands to an offensive team. If anyone proves they're better than him, then he's automatically demoted.
  • Dual Boss: He fights Jimmy alongside Damon, who spends the fight protecting Ted as he throws bombs at Jimmy.
  • Dumb Jock: What shows in the tiny amount of screentime he gets, he suggests Jimmy to take a dump in front of town hall, only to be insulted by Derby for being stupid. Also doubles as:
  • Flat Character: Doesn't receive much screen-time or characterization compared to the other clique leaders, and for the most part is just your stereotypical high school quarterback.
  • Flunky Boss: Mixed with Tennis Boss in his boss fight, where he basically hides behind a defensive line of Jocks and throws explosive footballs at Jimmy all while more Jocks come in from the bleachers to reinforce the two fighting Jimmy. When his team is inevitably taken down by Jimmy, Ted attempts to flee and goes down in one hit.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: As the most popular guy in school, he's the last hurdle for Jimmy to overcome so he can become king. However, this was a misinterpretation by Jimmy. Gary wasn't planning on being the popular guy in school, he literally wanted to be in charge of it and take over.
  • Jerk Jock: Not that the others aren't, but Ted is the biggest one. He just doesn't get enough screen-time to show it, but if you edit him to appear in free-roam like normal students, it clearly shows.
  • Offscreen Moment of Awesome: It's implied by the Nerds' revenge plot that he won the election for class president, presumably because he's more popular than Earnest.
  • Orcus on His Throne: Ted and the Jocks are classed as the toughest kids in school due to being athletes but Ted never fights Jimmy directly and only appears in boss fights, even then his team are the ones who fight Jimmy. In "Total Mayhem", Ted does fight Jimmy directly and is one par with Damon when he doesn't have the team to fight alongside him.
  • Out of Focus: In the chapter that deals with the jocks. He only physically appears at the beginning of Chapter 4, then reappears by the end to be defeated. Most of the story focuses on helping Earnest and the Nerds with their plans. Despite also running for class president against Earnest earlier, he still doesn't make much of an appearance there.
  • The Quarterback: The quarterback of the football team, and the leader of the Jocks, the clique highest on the hierarchy at Bullworth.
  • Separated by a Common Language: A meta example. In the boss fight against Ted, Jimmy is told to "Sack Ted" to finally beat him and get the Jocks under Jimmy's control. "Sacking" means "to tackle (the quarterback) behind the line of scrimmage before the quarterback is able to throw a pass", in other words, just tackle Ted before he gets too far. However, to Non-American players (or those unaware of American football), the terminology is lost and players instinctually attack Ted with one punch, resulting in Ted being underwhelmingly defeated in a single punch.
  • Suicidal Overconfidence: He knows Jimmy beat the Bullies, Preppies, and Greasers but Ted doesn't see him as a threat.
  • Tennis Boss: His chapter boss fight mixed in with Flunky Boss. You have to toss the explosive footballs he throws at you at the defenders surrounding him while you're being attacked by other jocks. Once they're all down, it becomes a Zero-Effort Boss where his titled healthbar depletes in one hit.
  • Wolf Pack Boss: He fights with his team. Two members will fight Jimmy with hand-to-hand combat, three members will protect Ted, while Ted stands back throwing bombs at Jimmy to knock him out.

    Mandy Wiles 

Mandy Wiles

"Oh my god, Beatrice is such a dork. She thought she could hang out with me just because I copy my assigments from her."
Voiced by: Elena Franklin
"I know, its funny. I'm the girl in the dirty pictures, ha-ha."
The head of Bullworth’s cheerleader squad and the most popular girl at school.
  • Arch-Enemy: To Beatrice. She mocks her frequently on the notification board, and she enjoys humiliating her.
  • All Guys Want Cheerleaders: She's widely considered the hottest girl in the school.
  • Alpha Bitch: Considering the academy she attends, and her treatment of Beatrice, it's something you would expect.
    Mandy: Let's see. Who should I humiliate and socially destroy today?
  • Asshole Victim: Deconstructed. Despite being an Alpha Bitch who constantly belittled and bullied people, even she didn't deserve to have her life and social standing ruined by the Nerds spreading revenge porn of her. There's also the fact that she's deeply insecure and heavily implied to be suffering from an eating disorder, giving her a Freudian Excuse for her behavior.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: She always wanted to be a model. She gets her wish in the worst way possible during Chapter 4, when lewd posters of her are spread all around town. She lampshades this herself.
    Mandy: I've always wanted to be a model, but not like this!
  • Break the Haughty: Her first storyline appearance in Chapter 1 establishes her as a confident and bitchy bully who picks on Beatrice, the lowest girl on the social totem pole of Bullworth and even calls Jimmy a "little perv" and "sicko" when she spots him. Her appearance in Paparazzi shows us that she still hasn't changed when she picks on Angie Ng for falling down during a cheerleading practice. This all changes when the Nerds ruin her reputation by spreading sordid pictures of her around the campus and town. When Jimmy finds her in the Gym, she's lamenting the loss of her social status and being unfairly thought of as a slut.
  • Collateral Angst: The nerds posted lewd pictures of her across Bullworth Academy and Bullworth Town as a first step to humiliate the jocks as revenge for their bullying.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: After the risque posters of her are put up and Jimmy tears them down even though she'd never been anything but mean to him, she starts being nicer to people.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Mandy agrees that she did deserve some punishment for how she bullied the others but says that having embarrassing pictures of her posted across the academy and the neighboring town doesn't exactly fit the crime of merely insulting people.
    Mandy: I mean, sure, I've been a bitch at times, been nasty, but I don't deserve this.
  • Dramatic Irony: She falls for Jimmy Hopkins after he took down the lewd posters of her, not knowing that Jimmy caused this in the first place by following her and taking those pictures of her.
  • Heel Realization: She admits that, even if the humiliation she suffered was very harsh, she did pretty much have it coming for being so mean to everyone.
  • Hidden Depths: Implied to be deeply insecure and suffering from an eating disorder.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Even before the events of Chapter 4, Angie claims that Mandy's actually really nice once you actually get to know her. One of the townspeople also claims she is a churchgoing girl.
  • Modesty Towel: She wears one right after you take a picture of her in the shower in "Paparazzi". She also wears one on some of Thad's lewd posters of her in Discretion Assured.
  • Oblivious Guilt Slinging: She confides in Jimmy about the posters of her and upset she is about it, not knowing that Jimmy played a huge part in making them in the first place and making him feel guilty for what he did.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Starts showing interest in Jimmy after he helps her when she's at her lowest point in life.
  • The Smurfette Principle: The only female member of the Jocks.
  • Targeted to Hurt the Hero: Mandy was specifically made a target of the nerds so they can rile up the jocks by humiliating her in the form of embarrassing pictures.
    Earnest: I need some inappropriate pictures of someone they care about
    Jimmy: You want pictures?
    Earnest: Yes, it's a complicated plan all right, I need some naughty pictures of that Mandy girl.
    Jimmy: (frustratedly) I'm sure you do but what is THAT got to do with this?
    Earnest: Oh this? This is purely for the purposes of this plan. I'm not like that at all.
    Jimmy: You want ME to get incriminating pictures of the head cheerleader just for YOUR plan. The kind of pictures that could land me in jail or worse!
    Earnest: It's not easy being the boss...
    Jimmy: Man, this better be good.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: She becomes more good-natured and likable after getting knocked off the top of the social totem.

    Damon West 

Damon West

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/damon_west.jpg
"When I go pro, I'm gonna get a fat-ass crib with a fat-ass chick and go along with my fat-ass check!"
Voiced by: Ben Curtis
The linebacker of the football team, and the strongest member of the team. He holds the second-highest rank in the clique behind only Ted, much to his resentment.
  • Always Second Best: Much to Damon's resentment, Damon is the second in command because Ted proved himself to be a better quarterback. Damon does express his views of Ted in private and it's suggested that he's been trying to date Mandy. However, when Damon is with Ted, he becomes submissive and docile. Since insubordination will get Damon expelled from the team.
  • Ambition Is Evil: Damon talks a lot of smack about Ted behind his back and makes it clear that he wants to be in charge but in Ted's presence, he's servile and repeats whatever he says.
  • Berserk Button: He will attack Jimmy on-sight if he has less than 50% respect and will immediately fight the Nerds if they enter Jock territory or vice versa.
  • Blood Knight: Loves fighting to the point that the townspeople will make comments about him. He also wants to fight a gorilla. This shows in gameplay. If Jimmy has less than 50% respect from the jocks (which he will for most of the game), Damon will always attack Jimmy on-sight if he's around the gym, while most jocks will give him a warning if his respect isn't too far below 50%. He has the same reaction to Nerds.
  • Boss in Mook Clothing: Downplayed compared to Bif, but he hits hard and has a lot more health than other students, not to mention he's almost guaranteed to be accompanied by other jocks.
  • The Determinator: In the boss fight against the Jocks, Damon West is pelted with exploding footballs. He dusts himself off and proclaims that a little blood never hurt anyone.
  • Dragon-in-Chief: Subverted, Damon champions himself as the strongest and toughest guy on campus who should be in charge of the Jocks but he becomes incredibly servile once Ted comes by since he can be demoted or outright removed from the team for insubordination.
  • Dual Boss: He fights alongside Ted and spends the fight protecting him from Jimmy as Ted throws bombs.
  • Enemy Summoner: Those aforementioned on-sight attacks are usually followed by every jock in the surrounding area running in to help him.
  • Glory Hound: He truly desires to become a sports star and use his newfound wealth to live a life of luxury.
  • Human Hammer-Throw: During the Big Game, he will do this to Jimmy whenever he gets too close to Ted and the other surrounding Jocks haven't been taken out yet.
  • Incredibly Durable Enemies: His fighting style is reckless and sloppy, but his abnormally large health bar makes him a threat to Jimmy and the nerds anytime they have to travel to the gym.
  • Made of Iron: Not to Russel's level but during the boss fight against Ted, Damon tanks six hits from the exploding footballs before finally passing out. In the case of Gameplay and Story Integration, he never blocks any attacks but has an absurdly high health bar to compensate for that fact.
  • Professional Butt-Kisser: For all of his insulting behind Ted's back, he does nothing but back him up and sing his praises when they're both present.
  • Scary Black Man: Larger and stronger than everyone else in the school to the point even the townsfolk fear him.
  • The Starscream: Subverted. Damon may be tougher than Ted and he talks a bit of crap about how he'd make a better clique leader than Ted behind Ted's back, but whenever he's around Ted he's servile and repeats everything Ted says. Also justified in that Ted's the quarterback and thus the most important player on the football team and thus the most important Jock - if Damon were to try to take over the clique he'd probably just get kicked out of it.
  • This Cannot Be!: After being defeated in battle, he says how embarrassed he is to have been beaten by Jimmy.
  • Treachery Is a Special Kind of Evil: He wishes to outshine Ted and take his place as leader of the Jocks but isn't able to without being expelled from it.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: He's one of the few characters in the entire game that never blocks attacks, but he's still resilient and aggressive enough to take down most students if he gets involved in fighting.
  • Wolf Pack Boss: Downplayed, he'll attack anyone who has a less than 50% faction approval with the Jocks and since the Jocks are so tightly oriented, his team will back him up without hesitation.

"I need to work on my arm if I'm ever gonna make QB."
Voiced by: Jason Fuchs
A jock that has underlying feelings of wanting to be conscious and nice to other students but does not act upon it due to his reputation as a member of the football team.
  • Aloof Big Brother: It's implied he is the big brother of Gloria and Lance. If so, he fits this trope.
  • Anti-Villain: He's as violent and aggressive as the other jocks in gameplay, but his dialogue indicates that he just wants to pass his classes and that he dislikes how most of the jocks act like Jerkasses. He seems all too happy to transfer to a more normal school and the only thing keeping him from doing so is the possibility of becoming the new quarterback after Ted graduates.
  • Cranium Coverings: A Baseball cap. Hit him a few times and it'll fall off.
  • Good Parents: One of the few kids to talk about his parents who has a well-adjusted but not overly reliant relationship with them.
  • Hypocrite: He calls Jimmy a Bully for 'apparently' burning down the Gym and quite a bit of his dialogue indicates that he thinks Jimmy's a jerk. Yeah sure Bo, Jimmy is the bully.
  • Informed Ability: Seen wearing a wrestling outfit in "The Gym is Burning", but uses a regular twitchy Football-based fighting style instead of a wrestling based fighting style like Luis,Juri, and the cut Bob.
  • Informed Attribute: In the same cutscene, Jimmy claims that he likes to torment weaker kids, but he's generally one of the least malicious clique-members in the school.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold
  • Lovable Jock: Bo's the jock who's a nice guy by nature but forced to be a jerk by peer pressure and social expectations. He's a bit of a counterpart to Parker in the Preppies.

  • Et Tu, Brute?: He was one of the Nerds with his brother but he defected to the Jocks.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Smaller than most of the other jocks and Jimmy himself, but he's a great fighter.
  • The Quisling: He was a nerd alongside his brother Thad, then he turned on them to join the Jocks.
  • Social Darwinist: He makes idle comments about being a Darwinist and it somewhat explains why he betrayed the Nerds to join the Jocks.

    "I'm a Jock dude, I gotta waste the weak."
  • Verbal Tic: Often insults others by calling them "prick".

"Wrestling is great! It's true man versus man competition. No room for wimps."
Voiced by: Lloyd Floyd
A member of the wrestling team who prefers said sport over football.
  • Blood Knight: Well, as close as one can get in a school environment. When watching a fight, he often offers to take on the winner.
  • Elite Mook: Uses guard-breaking combos, a damaging Grapple Move, and has higher health than most of the other free-roaming Jocks.
  • Funny Foreigner: Speaks in a moderately thick eastern-European accent, and comically fails to pronounce "class president" in The Candidate.
  • He-Man Woman Hater: He's greatly frustrated that women aren't impressed with his (self-proclaimed) manliness, and attributes it to them being "weak". Also finds everything he doesn't find up to his standards "girly".
  • Hidden Depths: Can be heard pondering about the impacts of pharmaceuticals, and in contrast to the rest of his persona, wondering what it's like to be a girl.
  • Husky Russkie: To be fair it's not certain that he's Russian, but he's pretty big and definitely from eastern Europe.
  • Shout-Out: He's named after Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel, The Brothers Karamazov.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He's almost the same character as Bob, only he's a funny foreigner instead of gay. And it's generally believed that he was created to replace Bob after the developers decided to cut Bob from the game.
  • The Social Darwinist: Believes that the strong should always rule.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Wrestling is great! It's true man versus man competition, no room for wimps! He also uses wrestling moves when he fights.

"Come here and eat your pound cake!"
Voiced by: Christopher Kromer
A jock focusing on baseball. He tends to be insecure about his relationships.
  • Armored Closet Gay: Every time he makes out with Jimmy, he threatens him if he tells anybody, he also runs away when he is caught having a movie date with Trent. Like pretty much every kissable boy, he is actually bisexual, with the occasional roaming dialogue line expressing interest in girls as well.
  • Batter Up!: Seen carrying a baseball bat alongside Dan in the carnival.
  • Butt-Monkey: He's the one to drink from the urine-spiked water cooler during the mission The Big Game, which predictably causes him to vomit. Also, during the mission The Gym is Burning, a metal grate falls on him and pins him down.
  • Catchphrase: "IT'S POUNDCAKE TIME!"
  • Gym Bunny: Subverted, Kirby is bisexual but he's in the closet and will threaten anyone who finds out about his interest in men.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Possesses the same height and stature as Dan, and the same fighting prowess.
  • Unusual Euphemism: A non-double entendre one, he calls bullying and physical beatings "poundcake".
  • The Twink: He's one of the smaller jocks and very insecure and secretive about his sexuality.

Another member of the wrestling team who also focuses on soccer. He’s willing to play a game of keep-ups with Jimmy where they bet money.
  • Alliterative Name: Luis Luna
  • Childhood Friends: Lefty Mancini says that they grew up together.
  • Elite Mook: The other Jock grappler, using guard-breaking combos, a damaging Grapple Move, and has higher health than most of the other free-roaming Jocks.
  • Go-Karting with Bowser: Even if you have 0% respect from the jocks, he's always willing to play the "Keep-Ups" minigame with Jimmy... granted, they bet money and he's a Sore Loser, but still.
  • Hidden Depths: Some dialogue of his indicates that, despite his disdain for academics, he can at least still perform half decently at them.
  • Out of Focus: Compared to the other jocks, he has no major mission appearances aside from providing back-up and his only cutscene dialogue is during a completely optional minigame, Justified because the only sport the Jocks are seen being into is football, and he and Juri are into wrestling.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Uses a wrestling stance like Juri and uses pro-wrestling moves when he fights. They're sparring partners.

Voiced by: Tom Vergow
A wrestler obsessed with the sport. He’s prevented from appearing in-game but appears in a cutscene.
  • All There In The Voice Files: Everything we know about him was found by listening to all his dialogue lines after the voice files were leaked.
  • Fetish: Implied to be part of the reason he's so obsessed with wrestling.
  • He-Man Woman Hater: Even more so than Juri - he thinks that girls are stupid and boring and doesn't understand why the other Jocks care about them.
  • Manly Gay: He doesn't have any effeminate personality traits, but he's quite overtly homosexual, what with the comments he makes about wrestling and his flirting with guys that bump into him. Combined with He-Man Woman Hater and it's speculated that this aspect of his personality is why he got removed from the game.
  • Shout-Out: His name is Bob, and one of the wrestling moves he threatens to use is a cross-face chickenwing - the Finishing Move of real wrestler Bob Backlund.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: Both his father and grandfather get on his case to do well at sports and he's paranoid about disappointing them.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Although he's an amateur wrestler, he still threatens to clothesline and suplex his opponents.

Other Cliques

Non-Clique Students

    General 
  • All the Other Reindeer: They are the students who are not affiliated with any of the cliques, either because they were too young, ineligible, or otherwise. They are bullied by everyone, even by the Nerds.
  • Color Motif: They all wear dark green.
  • Hufflepuff House: Other than Constantinos, they don't appear in the main story and are largely ignored by Jimmy.
  • Hypocrite: Angie and Christy can be found on campus kissing various male students but will slap Jimmy if found kissing another student.

    I don't know Kung Fu, but I'll still kick your ass!
  • All Guys Want Cheerleaders: She's one of the first girls that Jimmy has the option to kiss, and is also a cheerleader.
  • Bespectacled Cutie: Angie wears glasses and she's usually one of the nicest girls on campus.
  • Gossipy Hens: Unlike her friend Christy though, the rumors she discuss tend to better reflect current events and are overall more grounded in reality.
  • The Hyena: Often laughs and giggles, though it's often nervous laughter.
  • The Klutz: Falls on her ass while jumping during cheerleading practice and her cheer animations are notably more delayed than the others.
  • Mirthless Laughter: She laughs when someone flirts with her and makes her nervous, when someone scares her, and sometimes just when she can't think of anything to say or do.
  • Nice Girl: One of the friendlier and more innocent students on-campus. When she sees other students fighting, she criticizes them and tries to get them to stop rather than cheer them on.
  • Token Minority: Angie is the only Asian student at Bullworth.
  • "Well Done, Daughter!" Girl: She constantly stresses out over getting good grades and not disappointing her mother.

Christy Martin

  • Beware the Nice Ones: She's bubbly and friendly. She also talks about setting the school on fire, claims she can use her tie as a garotte, and made a girl run away by spreading a rumour about her.
  • Fiery Redhead: Her fiery-ness is much more muted than that of her brother, but if she gets pushed too far, as described above she can get vicious.
  • Gossipy Hens: Judging by her dialogue, Christy seems to be very fond of spreading rumors. Some of the things she says indicates she is the one creating pretty much all of it.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Angie.
  • Redhead In Green: It's just coincidence that Christy has red hair and that the Bullworth Non-Clique uniform is a shade of green, but she does fit the letter of the trope.

    Constantinos Brakus 

Constantinos Brakus

Voiced by: Mathew Stadelman
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brakos.jpg
"I HATE YOU, HOPKINS!!!"
"As usual, the world takes an enormous crap on my head!"
A non-clique student who makes various appearances throughout the game. He's usually on the receiving end of a beatdown from Jimmy thanks to his kleptomania and Jerkass personality.
  • The Chew Toy: Everything that can go wrong for Constantinos does.
  • Clothes Make the Superman: As the mascot with the full outfit on, he becomes a boss and has a couple moves to make him at least on-par with the Jocks. He even shares Russell's charging headbutt, albeit a much less effective version of it.
  • The Eeyore: He seems to perpetually be in a bad mood.
  • Groin Attack: One of his attacks while wearing the mascot outfit.
  • Karmic Butt-Monkey: He's such a jerk—sullen and unpleasant at best, and a bully and thief at worst—that you're more likely to have a laugh at his expense than sympathize with him when things go wrong for him. And they do so regularly.
  • Sitcom Archnemesis: From his pathetically jerkish attitude, to the number of times you have to beat him up in the story and side missions, Constantinos was pretty much designed for this role!
    Constantinos: (When Jimmy frightens him for the Bullworth Mascot Outfit) I HATE YOU, HOPKINS!!!
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Although Constantinos isn't tied to any cliques, and ultimately doesn't play a major role in the battle between Jimmy and Gary, he does make quite a few prominent appearances in the story; the first being when he steals Eunice's chocolates in one of the first missions, causing Jimmy to go after him to take the chocolates back. He also appears as the subject of "tutorials" for how to use Taunts learned from English Class (where he tries to pick a fight with Jimmy, only for Jimmy to tell him to shove off), and appears as the Bullworth Mascot during Chapter 4 (where Jimmy eventually needs to mug him for the Mascot Outfit)
  • Sticky Fingers: Steals chocolates from Eunice early on. Later steals some comic books from the comic book store.
  • Strong as They Need to Be: An extreme example as he's usually one of the weakest students on campus, but when he dons the mascot outfit, he's even stronger than the jocks.
  • The Stool Pigeon: He's the only older kid who actually tattles to the prefects.
  • Took a Level in Badass: As a non-clique student, he's a shrimp who steals from others, summons prefects when his health is low, and an overall downer who overestimates himself. By chapter 4, his battle strategy while donning the mascot costume is on par with Russel and can be a difficult fight for unprepared players.
  • Unblockable Attack: Two of them when he is the Mascot—The first one has him flail his limbs and then deal a Groin Attack. The second one is headbutting his opponent with the horns on his costume.
  • Unknown Rival: Jimmy doesn't even acknowledge the fact that Constantinos is always on the receiving end of his humiliation.

3 models for Eunice: Summer, Winter, and as a dancing fairy in the Christmas pageant
An obese female student with a love for chocolates.
  • Abhorrent Admirer: But you can still make out with her if you wish.
  • Big Eater: "Ever been kicked out of an all-you-can-eat buffet?"
    • She's also the only girl who will only kiss you if you giver her a box of chocolates rather than flowers like all the other girls.
  • Boring, but Practical: She looks very ugly, fat, unflattering hairstyle and with very thick voice, but at least Jimmy can kiss her for health bonus even if he wears clothing that makes other characters laugh at him.
  • Girls Love Chocolate: She adores chocolate and will you kiss you if you give her a box of it.
  • Gonk: Not only is she fat, but she has an unflattering hairstyle and a very husky, stupid-sounding voice.
  • Hidden Depths: Her free-roam quotes hint that she is insecure and unhappy, effects from her weight, and talks about dieting and doing sports to shed it. Despite this, she believes things will be better for her soon.
  • Jerkass: If her appearance doesn't put you off, her rudeness during conversations will. She does admit she's unforgiving, though. Also, when you first enroll in the school, she'll bully you, unlike any other girl.
  • Noodle Incident: During "Save Algie" you find her coming out of a bathroom stall. From a boy's bathroom. Accompanied by Pedro. There's no explanation given.
  • Soundtrack Dissonance: Every mission that ends with Jimmy kissing a girl, a jazzy Sexophone plays, but in "Movie Tickets" in where Jimmy is forced to kiss Eunice, the same sexophone plays despite being one of the ugliest girls in the school.
  • Ungrateful Bitch: She won't accept flowers if you try and give them to her.

  • Black and Nerdy: Though she's really more just extremely scholastically-oriented rather than socially awkward and into dorky hobbies like the Nerds clique.
  • Child Prodigy: Unlike most of the other supposed geniuses in the school she really is that smart, and usually pleasant enough to avoid being an Insufferable Genius.
  • Likes Older Men: Downplayed—She mentions Oscar Wilde is attractive and has a very obvious crush on Jimmy, judging by responding to her positively.
  • Out-of-Character Moment: During the mission "Rudy The Red Nosed Santa", her tone of voice changes completely, her Purple Prose is gone, and she talks extremely fast.
  • Orphaned Reference: Her maturity is possibly a leftover from her Beta counterpart, where she was around Jimmy's age and was able to be kissed by him.
  • Retcon: Gloria was originally intended to be a teenager like Angie and Christy—lines of dialogue for kissing were found in her data files. In a lot of her less likely to be heard dialogue, she has a slightly deeper and smoother, more mature sounding voice, and an errand has Constantinos express romantic interest in her. No information at all as to why she was changed to a little kid.
  • Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Often talks like this.

  • Big Ego, Hidden Depths: One of the few aversions among the cast's big heads. Most other characters with an inflated opinion have some redeeming traits or insecurities—Gordon just thinks he's that great.
  • Casanova Wannabe: He knows he's a good kisser. He's practiced for years on his arm.
  • It's All About Me: Doesn't understand the fuss about equality, brags about his handsomeness, and can often respond to other students' musings by saying "that's great, but not as great as me." He can't stand for positive words to be said about anyone but him.
  • Jerkass: Probably the most unpleasant of the non-clique students. He's far more contemptible a guy than a lot of clique members.
  • Miles Gloriosus: Boasts of his courage and fighting skills but is a massive coward in fights and can frequently be seen crying in fear on the Ferris Wheel.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: He's very arrogant, plus he believes he's much better at fighting and kissing than he really is.
    Gordon: Can't believe she asked me that. Of course I'm the center of my universe! Sheesh!

  • Nice Girl: One of the friendlier students, and lacking any serious negative feelings or moral defects. Does not approve of violence.
  • Passionate Sports Girl: Her main schtick. Most of her dialogue revolves around her many athletic interests and complaining Bullworth doesn't let her play as many sports as she wanted.
    Karen: Is four teams too many to be on?
  • Sweet Polly Oliver: Allegedly tried dressing up as a boy so that she could play on Bullworth's boys-only sports teams.
  • Tomboy: Downplayed. Her main interest is sports, but she doesn't act particularly boy-ish otherwise.

  • Black and Nerdy: Played with. Has nerdy interests, but lacks the social awkwardness of the nerds and decries how reading has obtained nerdy connotations.
  • Break the Cutie: Downplayed. Lance is a generally nice, compassionate and supportive guy, but a number of his quotes seem to imply he's nearing a breaking point.
    Lance: I transpose everyone else's problems onto myself! And it's like a cancer, it's eating me alive!
  • Nice Guy: Arrogance aside, he's generally one of the more pleasant students on campus, always supportive of others whether they're complaining or bragging, and he hates senseless violence even when personally participating in a fight.
  • Only Sane Man: Views himself as this.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Downplayed, mostly. Although he's not as narcissistic as Gordon, Lance can be very haughty and arrogant. Unlike Gordon, however, his own ego seems to be grounded in reality.
  • Straight Man: If you think about it, Lance is the most normal character in the entire game. He just has such a minuscule role it doesn't show much.

  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: About 80% of what comes out of her mouth is about how much she loves school and how well she behaves herself, and most of the rest is complaining about other people not being the same way. But she's by far the nastiest of the little kids. She's also the student who catches Jimmy in the girls dorm during a mission.
  • Bratty Half-Pint: She's the stereotypical unbearable goody-two-shoes.
  • Precision F-Strike: It's usually tough to get Melody mad enough at you to fight, but her dialogue for beginning an attack? "Bring it, bitch!"
  • Precocious Crush: Has a very obvious one on Jimmy himself.
  • Teacher's Pet: Not to Sheldon's extent, but she's fairly close, being the one who pulls the fire alarm during the aforementioned mission.
  • Troubling Unchildhood Behavior: A relatively mild example, but it's jarring to hear her threaten to make someone her bitch.

    Pedro De la Hoya 

Pedro de la Hoya

Voiced by: Daniel Tay
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pedro_3.png

  • Ambiguously Brown: Has a Spanish name, and appears to have a slight tan. His accent is anything but Hispanic. An early screenshot showed him with paler skin, pale hair and freckles—it seems he was changed to Hispanic at the last minute because there were so few Hispanic characters in the game.
  • Hero-Worshipper: He looks up to Jimmy to the point of calling him "Sir".
  • Momma's Boy: Maybe not to the extent of Algie, but he's close.
  • Noodle Incident: At one point you find him in a bathroom stall with Eunice. No explanation given.
  • Out-of-Character Moment:
    • He assigns Jimmy two errands—one to put a "Kick Me" sign on someone and another stuff people in trash cans—and acts a vicious brat while giving the errands. This brattiness isn't reflected in any other aspect of his character or in any of his dialogue, and he even has a couple other errands he assigns while under his usual personality.
    • During "Rudy The Red Nosed Santa", he also acts like a brat who thinks he "never gets what [he] want[s]". Even is voice is seriously different. Justified, as his original actor didn't return to voice him.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: You wouldn't think so, but he can occasionally be encountered fighting a bully like Trent, and can easily hold his own — usually getting several shots in before he gets hit and the prefects come running.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ray_4.png

  • The Berserker: He refers to his one attack as a "Berserker Barrage", but said attack is one shove.
  • Mr. Imagination: He likes to imagine himself doing things he's seen in movies or read about in books, and occasionally blabs out what he's imagining, like claiming to be an undercover cop investigating underage drinking parties.
  • New Transfer Student: He was this a while before Jimmy came along. He still finds it difficult to fit into school.
  • Nice Guy: One of the few students in the school who is actually pretty decent.
  • Official Couple: To Eunice, by virtue of being the only boy that is programmed to be seen holding hands with her.
  • Unblockable Attack: His shove, which is also his only attack.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: He may not know any fighting moves other than a shove and he may not try it often enough during a fight to actually win said fight, but his shove does do damage to even a blocking opponent.

  • Asshole Victim: He mentions being the butt of many pranks in the school (and the player can do so, too), but seeing his obnoxious attitude, he has it coming.
  • Bratty Half-Pint: An obnoxious goody-two-shoes teacher's pet like Melody.
  • Catchphrase: "Hi! It's me, Sheldon!"
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: You wouldn't think so, but he can occasionally encountered fighting a bully like Trent, and can easily hold his own.
  • Teacher's Pet: Most of his dialogue is him bragging about how he helps the teachers and how they are his "friends", yet both Hattrick and Crabblesnitch find him annoying.

    Trevor Moore 

Trevor Moore

Voiced by: Adam Serwer
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trevor_75.png

  • Only Sane Man: Views himself as this and can't wait to get out of Bullworth Academy.
  • Out-of-Character Moment: For some reason during Halloween and specifically while he's in his werewolf costume, Trevor will have the A.I. of a Bully. This means the normally docile student will be friendly towards other Bullies, hostile towards any other student, especially Jimmy and the Nerds and will even adopt the Bullies' sloppy Brawler fighting style.

Townies

    General 
A group of expelled Bullworth delinquents, their leader is Edgar Munsen and their Co-Leader is Omar Romero. They are the last relevant clique and appear in the last chapter, where they secretly antagonize the school and sow enough discord to get the students to distrust Jimmy. He later enlists their help in order to launch a siege against a rioting Bullworth.

As A Whole

  • Ax-Crazy: All the members are at least a little bit psychotic, and some of them are outright insane. Most of these kids are the ones who were psycho enough to be expelled from Bullworth. Clint, Leon and Otto also double as asylum inmates.
  • Bandit Clan: They had nowhere else to go after Bullworth and they simply decided to stay in Bullworth to harrass the locals and pick fights.
  • Blood Knight: They love violence and combat.
  • Book Dumb: These students were either too poor to attend Bullworth or were otherwise removed (either being expelled or dropping out due to the rampant bullying). For these reasons, the Townies were either homeschooled or they learned from the streets.
  • Boulder Bludgeon: They throw bricks and are the only clique to do so, as opposed to the Greasers' and Bullies' slingshots or the Preppies' eggs.
  • Color Motif: Their faction is coloured orange as shown by their clothing.
  • Dumb Muscle: All have dropped out from Bullworth Academy and/or have lacked education for a good part of their youth, and with the town being how it is, they all wield serious durability and fighting skills.
  • Eviler than Thou: The Townies make their first storyline appearances in Chapter 5, where they quickly cause chaos within the school and put the five cliques in disarray. Whereas the other cliques are morally grey, the Townies are shown to be absolutely insane with their burning of the gym,with students still inside, cementing them as violent madmen. This makes them the only clique who are outright criminals.
  • Flat Character: The townies tied with the jocks for the least developed clique in the game. The townies don't have any direct contact with Jimmy and their revenge is more focused on punishing the entire school than Jimmy specifically and he only interacts with 2 members, Zoe and Clint (aka Henry). Afterwards, Jimmy suddenly knows the leader of the townies and where their hideout it.
  • Fluffy the Terrible: A gang of Ax-Crazy teenagers that were expelled from what was already a hellhole of a school, is not something that usually comes to mind when hearing the word Townies.
  • Gang of Hats: The townies (formerly known as the dropouts) were Bullworth students who were either expelled or were students who dropped out due to the rampant bullying at the academy. They absolutely hate everyone from Bullworth and they will target anyone from the academy. The gang uses bricks and firecrackers as ranged attacks. They also clotheslines as tackles and resort to biting during a grapple.
  • Glass Cannon: Lay claim to the single most damaging fighting style amongst the generic students wandering the overworld. However aside from Edgar, none of them are that much tougher than the average Greaser or Jock preventing them from being Elite Mooks.
  • Man Bites Man: Some of the members have this as a grapple attack, where they will lunge at the opponent and deliver several bites.
  • Nerf: In the original Bully release, the jumping double axehandle the Townies use at the end of their attacking combo went through Jimmy's guard and did full damage. This was so overpowered that Rockstar didn't even wait for Scholarship Edition to nerf it.
  • The Pig-Pen: Dialogue from other characters indicate this, especially during fights, although it's mostly just classism on the part of the school kids.
  • School Is for Losers: What many of them think, which led to plenty of them dropping out in the first place. They have a strong dislike for anybody enrolled into Bullworth.
  • Throw Down the Bomblet: They also throw firecrackers if they don't have bricks.
  • Tragic Dropout: Dialogue from some of them indicate that they regret having dropped out or regret being expelled from Bullworth Academy, as it means losing education for their future or simply because it got them stuck in the town of Bullworth.
  • Unblockable Attack: In the original release of Bully, the jumping double axehandle they use damaged Jimmy whether he was defending or not. And they throw that move a lot. It was nerfed for all later editions of the game.
  • Uncleanliness Is Next to Ungodliness: They tend to not have much in the way of hygiene and are an entire group of aggressive dropouts that cause Bullworth serious damage and make for some of the toughest opponents in the game.
  • Vibrant Orange: Their faction color is orange and they are the kids who were expelled from Bullworth or had dropped out. They spend their days roaming Bullworth, fighting, and dirt biking.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Edgar and most of the other Townies use jumping double axehandles and clotheslines in combat. Gurney and Jerry replace the clothesline attack with a Grapple Move. It's one of the more damaging fighting styles in the games.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2013-05-16_at_10_53_15_pm-w295-h190_6034.png
"Another semester at Bullworth... and they still haven't fired Mr. Burton."
A former student at Bullworth who ended up expelled after she rejected Mr. Burton's advances. Jimmy sympathizes with her plight. She later becomes his girlfriend at the game's climax.
  • Best Served Cold: With Jimmy's help, she vandalizes a portable toilet occupied by Mr. Burton, sending him careering off a cliff in a hail of feces.
  • Birds of a Feather: She shares Jimmy's love of vandalism and giving people what they have coming to them.
  • Custom Uniform: She's the only girl to have a red tartan skirt with her school outfit.
  • Faux Action Girl: According to the dialogue files, she's a very good fighter and quite tough for a girl. In the game itself though, all the girls share the same stats, and are the weakest characters by a large margin. Probably justified though, since Zoe couldn't have been programmed to be tough and aggressive without tinkering with the mechanics a lot.
  • Fiery Redhead: Bright red hair, likes to fight, her idea of a good date is vandalism...
  • Gameplay and Story Segregation: She shares Jimmy's fondness for fighting and violence in cutscenes. In regular gameplay, as mentioned above, she shares the same behavior as all other NPC girls, down to the fighting style.
  • Groin Attack: Claims that she inflicted this on Mr. Burton once.
  • Hidden Depths: Cut voicelines show that she used to know Mandy and even used to be friends at one point.
  • Last Girl Wins: She's the last girl that Jimmy meets and dates, and the one he's with at the end of the game.
  • Miscarriage of Justice: When Zoe angrily reported on Burton's wandering hands, the faculty showed her the door. Jimmy arranges for her to be re-enrolled at the Academy and he manages to finally get Burton fired.
  • Stocking Filler: Zoe's townie model wears fashionably-ripped purple stockings, and her Bullworth model wears black ones. This was a lot more noticeable on her beta design, which had a much shorter skirt to show off a lot more stocking.
  • Tank-Top Tomboy: As a townie, he wears a tank top with a skull motif on it, in line with her rough, violent personality.
  • Token Good Teammate: The only member of the Townies who isn't at least a bit psychotic, and the only one who wasn't expelled from Bullworth for a legitimate reason. Then again, she's still a deliquent who thought vandalizing the inventory of Spencer Shipping was a great date, so she's more 'good in comparison'.
  • Tomboy: According to the dialogue, she'd rather roughhouse and fight than do girly stuff.

    Edgar Munsen 

Edgar Munsen

Voiced by: Jan Milewicz
The Townies' leader.
  • Ambiguously Brown: His skin tone and clothing style are both Hispanic, but his accent is anything but. His last name is a English last name, but his first name could be either English or Spanish.
  • Blood Knight: Not as much as the other Townies, but he clearly seems to be enjoying himself after taking down some of the bullies during the final mission.
  • A Father to His Men: Implied. A Dummied Out but still story-relevant cutscene shows that he's not exactly happy that Jimmy beat up "[his] boys" just to get to him to talk things out.
  • Freudian Excuse: His parents couldn't afford the tuition to Bullworth for long, leading to him dropping out and being stuck in "this dump of a town." Suddenly, a sociopathic student from that school comes along and gives him the offer to make them all pay...
  • The Leader: Of the Townies clique. You only learn this suddenly during the "Busting In" missions.
  • Pipe Pain: The boss battle against Edgar has him pull out a huge pipe to pummel Jimmy, forcing the latter to use Improvised shields to block, the second phase ha Jimmy fight Edgar on his own terms.
  • Remember the New Guy?: The penultimate Townies mission has Jimmy telling Zoe that he needs to find "that Edgar kid". Prior to this Edgar hadn't even been mentioned, let alone properly introduced as a character.

Clint (aka Henry)

Voiced by: Justin Mortelliti

  • Ax-Crazy:
    • In his introductory cutscene in Scholarship Edition, he bashes himself in the head repeatedly.
    • In the next mission, he shoves Jimmy down. When Jimmy calls him out, Clint apologizes—and then punches himself in the face before saying "Now we're even".
  • Noodle Incident:
    Clint: A cheeseburger is supposed to have cheese! Dumb broad...
  • Shout-Out: Henry (aka Clint) is coulrophobic (afraid of clowns). He also likes messing with animals. Two traits that reference Henry Bowers in Itnote .
  • Token Good Teammate: "Good" is pushing it a bit, but he notes that he doesn't hate the Bullworth kids like the rest of the Townies and is the only member other than Zoe to treat Jimmy with respect, even if it's to ask for errands.

    Duncan 

Duncan

Voiced by: Adam Tetzloff

  • All Girls Want Bad Boys: Discussed, he brags about having multiple injuries and scars, something he thought girls liked. When he kisses Jimmy, he calls himself a bad boy for doing so.
    "I thought chicks were supposed to dig scars."
  • Amusing Injuries: He claims to have broken his collarbone three times, and he likes having scars because "chicks dig them". He also apparently suffered plenty while trying to break into the Girls Dormitory.
  • Closet Geek: Duncan is a fan of Grottos and Gremlins and tries to convince Jerry and Otto to play it with him.
  • Freudian Excuse: Duncan dropped out of Bullworth Academy because of its rampant bullying, something he's now come to regret.
  • Had to Be Sharp: Duncan is a former student who dropped out of the academy because he was a victim of bullying, with Davis White being one of his bullies. Now, Duncan is part of the Townies and a lot tougher than Davis.
  • Hidden Depths: He sincerely regrets dropping out of school and has dialogue encouraging Jimmy to stay there.
  • Manly Gay: He's bisexual, lacks a single effeminate trait, and is a member of the townies, one of the toughest cliques in the game.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He's shorter than most of the other Townies but he can fight just as well as them, being able to hold his own against the tougher students at Bullworth.

    Jerry 

Jerry

Voiced by: Unknown

  • Allergic to Routine: He fights and fights as a bodyguard to alleviate his boredom.
  • Grapple Move: Just like Gurney, he can spear tackle students to the ground and perform either a Groin Attack or a headbutt
  • Know-Nothing Know-It-All: On the rare occasions Jerry actually tries to show off his alleged intelligence as opposed to just bragging about it, he reveals himself as this. For example, did you know that if it was high tide everywhere at the same time the Earth would flood? Well, Jerry does.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Often believes the reason he got expelled from Bullworth was for being "too smart"—in all likelihood, he's probably about as Book Dumb as the rest of the Townies.
    Jerry: Most people don't even like me because I'm more cleverer than them.
  • Throw Down the Bomblet: Just like Gurney, he'll switch to firecrackers in combat from a distance.

    Leon 

Leon

Voiced by: Lance Williams

  • Allergic to Routine: A good chunk of his lines paint him as an easily bored individual who craves stimulation.
  • Ax-Crazy: Enough to double as an asylum inmate.
  • Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: He keeps in contact with his mom and helps her out with errands sometimes.
  • Lazy Bum: Would rather watch TV than do what he's currently doing.
  • Loophole Abuse: A smaller case in that it doesn't get him completely off the hook; His juvenile status means that he has legal protection from misdemeanors.
  • The Slacker: Depressed over the fact that he'll have to get a job some day, loves being a juvenile because it means he's not held responsible for his actions.
  • Those Two Guys: Appears with Duncan quite often in missions.

    Otto Tyler 

Otto Tyler

Voiced by: Ian Stynes

  • The Napoleon: A mild one; he's one of the smallest townies but calls everyone "kid."
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: His short height doesn't keep him from kicking as much ass as the other Townies.

Prefects

    General 

As a whole

  • Apple for Teacher: Their rarely-seen long-range attack is based on this, where they throw apples at their target if they can't get to them.
  • The Bad Guys Are Cops: They're the police force within the game and it's shown that they're not doing their jobs for the sake of law and order. Seth and Karl use their authority to abuse the students and Edward's using his authority to pad out his resume (and seemingly flirt with girls). The only one who seems mildly interested in fulfilling his duties is Max, who seems genuinely interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement.
  • Cutscene Incompetence: The prefects are good at catching misbehaving students, however, during Complete Mayhem, Russell is able to chase off Seth and Max.
  • Jerkass: Many of them became Prefects for selfish reasons and treat the other students with contempt. The only way to get them to ever be nice to you is by wearing the Orderly Uniform.
  • Leitmotif: The song that plays whenever Jimmy is being chased by one or more Prefects — a fast-paced, funky theme that's heavy on the wah pedal and horns, not unlike what you may hear when watching a 1970s cop show or movie.
  • Not So Above It All:
    • The game is programmed to have every NPC respond to "Kick Me" Signs when applied to someone, and the Prefects are no different.
    • During Complete Mayhem, the prefects are absent and inside the school building. They confiscate Jimmy's slingshot and are chased off by Russell. They do so not to stop any chaos but because "Weapons are for Prefects only!", showing that they've fully agreed to Gary's riot.
  • Screw the Rules, I Enforce Them!: Plenty joined the Prefects to give them the excuse to bully and beat students with the school's justification.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Even after Complete Mayhem, they still mostly treat Jimmy with contempt. Oddly, if Jimmy wears the Orderly Uniform, they'll be pleasant to him.
  • Younger Than They Look: Despite seeming to be at least in their thirties, Seth and the rest of the prefects are actually seniors close to graduating, which would place them all about seventeen or eighteen years of age.

    Seth Kolbe 

Seth Kolbe

Voiced by: Unknown

  • Ax-Crazy: And HOW.
  • Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: Seth is mostly into being a prefect because he enjoys the power. If he actually has to do any prefecting, he's as likely to just lash out at random bystanders as he is to actually pursue the rulebreaker. Or in addition to pursuing the rulebreaker.
  • Hypocrite: Seth likes to call the kids "evildoers". Pretty rich coming from someone who enjoys abusing his authority to pick on innocent people.
  • Informed Attribute: Almost all of his dialogue consists of threatening to beat anyone who breaks the rules. However, he never physically attacks any of the students and instead uses the same restraining technique the rest of the prefects use. His dialogue is likely a leftover from the beta version of the game, where the prefects carried batons and actually did use them on the students.
  • Jerkass: Constantly threatening students with beatings, and really seems to enjoy it to boot.
  • Large Ham: EEEEEEEEVILDOER!

    Karl Branting 

Karl Branting

Voiced by: Wilhelm Lewis

  • Dirty Cop: Thankfully not as abusive or power abusing as Seth, but he's definitely doubleplus ungood.
  • Jerkass: Arguably as bad or worse than Seth - Seth may be more aggressive, but he mostly lashes out at random whereas it's implied that Karl picks a victim and does everything he can to make their life miserable.
  • Jive Turkey: Inverted. Karl's slow and carefully enunciated speech occasionally lapses into a somewhat standard African-American accent when he's angry or stressed, faintly implying that he's trying to sound less Black as a career booster.
  • Large Ham: He was definitely designed with this role in mind.
    Good Lord! I appear to have been knocked over!
    Argh! THAT WAS BELOW THE BELT!
    Argh! That is disgusting and unhygienic!
  • The Napoleon: Another mild case — he's about a head shorter than the other prefects and occasionally makes a comment that makes it sound like he's self conscious about it.
  • Purple Prose: Downplayed — he drags out his sentences as long as possible and enunciates everything he says, but most of his dialogue doesn't have any traces of archaic, complex wording.
  • Token Minority: The only black member of the Prefects.

    Edward Seymour II 

Edward Seymour II

Voiced by Ryan King

  • Bring My Brown Pants: One of his knocked-out lines: "I need new underwear..."
  • Large Ham: Kneeeeeeeeeeeel before Edward! Ragh!
  • STD Immunity: Averted. He seems to have contracted... something. He didn't even know you could get a rash there... and it itches like crazy. He also calls himself a studmuffin constantly.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Hot dogs, apparently.
  • Upper-Class Twit: Considering his family is rich, he's a member of the sailing and yacht club, and he brags about his numerous awards, it's likely Edward's just using his position to pad out his resume.

    Max McTavish 

Max McTavish

Voiced by: Lenny Grossi

  • Drill Sergeant Nasty: Appears to be an in-training version of this. His style of imposing authority consists of berating students with gross insults such as "toilet stain" and "smear wipe."
  • Graceful Loser: In one of his knocked-out lines, he actually tells the winner "You should become a Prefect."
  • Punny Name: "You'll be prosecuted to the max!"
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: If only compared to the other prefects — he may be a total Jerkass, but he's the only one interested in law and order, and unlike the other prefects, is actually interested in going on to a career in the military or police. Edward is self-absorbed, and Karl and Seth are malicious bullies.

Adults

Faculty

    General 

As a whole

  • Badass Teacher: They're all statistically formidable with high stamina and health bars on par with the tougher clique leaders as well as immunity to any grapple attempts.
  • Head-in-the-Sand Management: Aside from Mr. Galloway and Ms. Philips, they don't particularly care for the well-being of the students and will only intervene if they witness trouble for themselves. Mr Burton even encourages bullying under the belief that it builds character.
  • Non-Giving-Up School Guy: If any of the staff are provoked in free roam. They have tons of health larger than the Prefects and are authority figures who can instantly bust you if the trouble meter is high enough. And just like the Prefects, getting caught by them automatically sends you to class if you have one active.
  • No-Sell: To grapple attempts.
  • Stern Teacher: Regardless of their actual personality, whenever they appear in free roam they will act contemptuous and dismissive towards all students when interacted with.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2013-05-16_at_10_53_26_pm-w295-h190_7897.png
The stern headmaster of Bullworth Academy, who greets Jimmy upon his arrival and tells him to stay out of trouble at school. He's clueless to the dire state of his school and just sees it as "school spirit".
  • Advertised Extra: Crabblesnitch often appears in the promotional material exchanging a glare with Jimmy but he has minimal involvement in the plot.
  • Adults Are Useless: While he means well, he's completely blind to just about everything wrong with the school he runs. Fortunately, Jimmy persuades him to help make Bullworth Academy a better school, such as firing Mr. Hattrick and Mr. Burton.
  • All Psychology Is Freudian: Downplayed. He seems to think that most of Jimmy's problems can be attributed to his mother - which is a completely reasonable conclusion to draw.
  • Animal Motif: His office has bird imagery and Dr. Crabblesnitch is known for looking down on others and being aloof, as he doesn't see bullying as harmful and overlooks the incompetence of his staff. He's also described as a noble and serious figure by others and his nose resembles a bird's beak/nare.
  • Big Bad: Subverted. Though he initially appears to be the main antagonist of the game (and was originally intended to be), it ultimately turns out that he's a Reasonable Authority Figure and that Gary Smith is the real Big Bad.
  • Born in the Wrong Century: He seems to believe the 1950s never ended, going by his style of dress and his attitude towards bullying.
  • Brutal Honesty: He never minces his words, and lets students know if he judges them as unpopular or troublesome. He has no problem revealing his biases towards the jocks and preps and his dislikes towards nerds and greasers.
  • Condescending Compassion: His attitude towards nerds, greasers, Jimmy, townies, and the like whenever they are victimised.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Sometimes. For example, if Jimmy is failing at English when brought into Crabblesnitch's office, he might quip "too stupid to speak your native language properly."
  • Dean Bitterman: Downplayed. He stays on Jimmy's case, but doesn't even consider to expel him until he has no choice due to Jimmy's vandalizing of City Hall in broad daylight.
  • Distressed Dude: In the climax, Gary somehow ties him up and leaves him to rot in his office.
  • Do Wrong, Right: His voice files reveal he is not opposed to beating nerds up or keeping them in their place, but he can criticize Jimmy for going too far or getting caught.
  • Game-Over Man: He'll lecture Jimmy the first couple of times you're "Busted". After that, he sentences Jimmy to menial labor.
  • Get Out!: Jimmy gets busted for vandalism in the game's final act, which results in his expulsion. At first, Crabblesnitch tries to dismiss Jimmy civilly, but when the youth presses on with denouncing the school and its faculty, the Head angrily throws him out.
  • Good Is Not Nice: While he can be an asshole, Crabblesnitch by no means a villain; he reveres traditional mores like self-discipline, dedication and the value of hard work, which is why he gives Jimmy and the other delinquent kids every possible chance to stay in school and reform themselves.
  • Good All Along: He turns out to be a Reasonable Authority Figure at the end of the game.
  • Head-in-the-Sand Management: Crabblesnitch is completely oblivious to Bullworth's massive bullying problem, simply brushing it off as "school spirit". Before expelling Jimmy, he promotes Gary to head boy and believes he's not afraid of being an unpopular leader, ending up with Gary using that trust to tie him up to cause a riot. After overhearing Gary's Evil Gloating, he expels him and pardons Jimmy.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: Believes Gary is a responsible kid despite his reputation saying otherwise, not only that, but he also can't even see that almost every student in the school is a criminal or irresponsible pieces of shit and thinking the worst out of Jimmy despite Jimmy trying to show him reality at the school he runs.
  • Nostalgia Filter: Always longing for the good old days, such as when students were always expected to respect adults and authority.
    • Nostalgia Ain't Like It Used to Be: His views tend to fog how he sees things at Bullworth. Jimmy causing a ruckus is troublesome but any other form of hazing is simply school spirit, noting that back in his day, "[they] thought nothing of castrating the new boys!"
  • Pet the Dog: He gets a long string of these during the ending, where among other things he praises Jimmy for exposing Gary, promptly fires Burton and rescinds Zoe's expulsion after hearing the situation behind it, promotes Pete to head boy at Jimmy's suggestion and finally, decides not to expel Jimmy after all.
  • Politically Motivated Teacher: Downplayed—his dialogue occasionally shows a strong dislike of socialism, an adherence to social classes, his longing for the good old days, and reverence of authority can be used to make guesses about his political views. He has no qualms about letting these views out or guiding his actions.
  • Rank Scales with Asskicking: An ex-Prefect himself, he will not hesitate to bust you on campus. He's also the only NPC who never runs out of stamina and has a healthbar that is four times the size of the average adult and Prefect. Good thing he only appears once.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: If you can actually get his attention, he does the right thing. Getting it is the hard part though...
  • Selective Enforcement: If Jimmy does it, it's fighting and violent conduct. If anyone else does it, it's school spirit and hijinks. He makes this distinction clear in your second conversation with him.
  • Straw Character: Subverted; his doggedly old-fashioned conservatism is mostly what makes him an unpleasant hardass for Jimmy to deal with, but it's also the source of his sympathetic qualities that compel him to repeatedly give kids like Jimmy the chance to remain in school.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: He views townies, nerds, carnival freaks, and greasers as bad sources of influence, among others.

Mr. Burton

"Bullying? I don't care about bullying! In fact, I encourage bullying. Builds moral fiber. Makes.... men!"
Voiced by: Michael Boyle
"Ahhh, this is worse than when I got hazed!"
Jimmy's loudmouthed and strict Gym teacher. He's a bit more than just interested in the school's female students.
  • Abusive Parents: His father apparently beat him constantly as a child and he's still scarred to this day. This might explain his arrogant behaviour towards his students.
  • All Men Are Perverts: One mission of his involves the main character sneaking into the girls' dorm to steal their panties to give to him.
  • Career-Ending Injury: Hurt his knee while trying to become a pro football player, had to become a coach at Bullworth instead. He's quite bitter about it.
  • Casanova Wannabe: Desperately seeking a girlfriend, yet doesn't realize no one wants to hook up with him.
  • Covered in Gunge: Ends up covered in feces when Jimmy pushes the port-a-potty Mr. Burton is in off the ledge as revenge for getting Zoe expelled.
  • Creepy Gym Coach: He's very interested in the female students and asks Jimmy to get panties for him.
  • Dirty Old Man: Buys porn, recruits Jimmy to steal girls' panties, gets Zoe expelled because he hit on her and she refused him. He was even more so in the beta version, where one errand involved photographing him trying to seduce women.
  • Drill Sergeant Nasty: Gym teacher version.
    Mr. Burton: Ah, dodgeball! How I love the sound of boys crying in the morning!
  • Ephebophile: The game doesn't outright say it until the Final Showdown but it was pretty apparent that Mr Burton has been lusting for the girls in Bullworth Academy. He tricks Jimmy into stealing the girl's laundry for him under the excuse that he forgot to collect them for laundry day but it's only when Jimmy meets Zoe in chapter 5 that he learns that Mr Burton sexually harrassed her and got her expelled when she reported his actions.
  • Fat Bastard: Despite being a gym teacher, Mr Burton isn't exactly the fittest man on campus. He's also pretty nasty to his students, and is a dirty creep to boot.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: Although it's never said outright in the game, Mr. Burton is actually responsible for the Jocks being so bloodthirsty as it is rumored that he's been giving them steroids and he outright says to Jimmy that he encourages bullying within the Jocks because it builds character and makes men. Then there's the fact that he had Zoe expelled after she tried to report him for sexually harassing her.
  • No Indoor Voice: Constantly loudmouthed even when trying to deny walking out a store selling explicit magazines.
  • Out-of-Character Moment: Even though he encourages both bullying and fighting, he'll still bust people for doing so, even jocks.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: In "Panty Raid", he doesn't even bother disguising himself besides wearing a fishing hat and a pair of black shades. Bonus points for the fact that the Bullworth Academy crest is clearly on his trousers.
  • Pet the Dog: The more gym classes Jimmy passes, the more Mr. Burton comes to respect him, eventually professing that he's tougher than he originally thought.
  • Villain of Another Story: He's Zoe's archenemy because he sexually harassed her while she was at Bullworth Academy, eventually getting her expelled when Zoe tried to report him for his actions.

  • Born in the Wrong Century: Extremely outdated clothing, dislikes modern society, and mentions that she hasn't changed her hair in about 30 years.
  • Pet the Dog: After Jimmy exterminates all the rats in "Rats in the Library", she offers to "forget" about any late fees Jimmy would have accumulated for unreturned books. Jimmy remarks that he already has before thanking her.
  • Scary Librarian: Invoked. She even considers wearing glasses for the sole purpose of making herself look more intimidating.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She has a fear of rats. One of the storyline missions in the game for the Nerds involves killing an infestation of them in the library for her.

    Miss Danvers 

Miss Danvers

Voiced by: Lori Funk

  • Chekhov's Gunman: After Jimmy vandalizes the town hall, she can be heard scorning him for it, although she cannot be seen. Later in the chapter, she calls him to the front office so he can be expelled for it. For sharp-eared players, this could be an Oh, Crap! moment, as it implies she saw what you did.
  • Jerkass: The PA announcements around the school shows she really hates the students (apart from Sheldon and Derby), and refers to them as "little monsters". She goes as far as insulting Beatrice when calling her to receive her college applications.
    Miss Danvers: (through PA) Your attention please... Oh, nevermind, you little monsters.
  • Sassy Secretary: To anyone who isn't Dr. Crabblesnitch.
  • Sexy Secretary: While she's by no means an unattractive woman, she's slightly outside of the age range that usually comes with this trope. She looks like she might have fit this role better ten or fifteen years ago. Interestingly, at one point in Bully's development she was younger and hotter, as seen in this old image.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: As mentioned above, she's obsessed with Crabblesnitch to the point she talks about him over thirty times in her dialogue sets.
  • Sycophantic Servant: To Dr. Crabblesnitch.
  • Yes-Man: She would never even think of contradicting Dr. Crabblesnitch on anything.

"I need you to go to town and pick-up some meat and other things for me. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to put one of Ms. Phillips' cats in the casserole again! Haha!"
Voiced by: Kathy Rossetter
The overweight and filthy cook of Bullworth Academy, whose disgusting cooking is mocked daily by the students. She occasionally gives Jimmy some errands throughout the game.

  • Brawn Hilda: Not only her design is horrendous (even worse with makeup in "Cook's Crush" side mission), but also she has a deep manly voice.
  • Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: Asks Jimmy to drug Dr. Watts with a sedative so she can do stuff to him. When Dr. Watts is drugged, she tells him that he's going to be shown "everything she knows about chemistry... and a little biology!".
  • Everyone Has Standards: As disgusting as her cooking is, in an earlier version of The Big Game, she'd exclaim how disgusting it is if Jimmy is caught "spiking" the jock's cooler.
  • From Bad to Worse: According to the pointer below, she has a nightmarish looking face, but in "Cook's Crush" side mission, she applies makeup in her face, it looked even more nightmarish.
  • Gonk: Her character design is quite grotesque. It only gets worse when she attempts to apply makeup to herself, making her look even worse.
  • Good Is Not Nice: To Jimmy at least, unlike most staff members and authority figures. Edna is quite civil and tries to be as friendly as possible to Jimmy. However, Jimmy is still disgusted by her.
  • Lethal Chef: Quality isn't exactly a priority at Bullworth, but using long-expired meat and baking a cat into a casserole?
    The only person who is allowed a weapon on campus is me, and I use it to make dinner!
  • Nightmare Face: Her face is incredibly nightmarish (even more so than Eunice) and her makeup it gets worse.
  • Noodle Incident: Apparently she accidentally cooked one of Ms. Philips' cats into a casserole. Later on, the latter leaves a notice about it on the bulletin board.

    Mr. Lionel Galloway 

Mr. Lionel Galloway

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lionel_galloway.png
"English you see....is a difficult subject to teach!"
Voiced by: Robert Stanton
"Oh, god. What kind of world do we live in where I get punished for a minor indiscretion, and Hattrick gets away with taking bribes from his pupils?"
Jimmy's alcoholic English teacher, who is regularly the target of bullying from Mr. Hattrick. He's also one of the few adults at Bullworth to actually care about his students and is popular among them.
  • Actually Pretty Funny: If Jimmy spells out a swear word on his papers, Galloway will actually laugh before telling him he can't use that word.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Ms. Philips calls him "Gally-bear".
  • The Alcoholic: Driven to drinking by relentless bullying over the course of years from Mr. Hattrick.
  • Benevolent Boss: Teacher variant. Being one of the few adults in the game (or the world, depending how you look at it) that isn't useless, the students actually regard him with genuine respect because of how much he genuinely cares about his students (special mention for praising students giving each other answers to class assignments as "helping" rather than punishing them for "cheating" because of the positive impact it has on their grades). He's also the only teacher that Jimmy sincerely addresses as "sir", despite having to mop him up a few times, for exactly this reason. He also admits in idle dialogue that he's saddened by the low morale of his students and wants to help them "care about themselves".
  • Cool Teacher: His in-class dialogue has him offer advice to students, such as doing their homework assignments in class so they'll have more free time in the evenings and hearing that students have been helping each other with coursework and encouraging it, noting that they're learning the value of teamwork. He's also quite friendly with Jimmy and is grateful for all of Jimmy's help.
  • Everyone Has Standards: He may be a nice guy but he has a notable hatred of Mr. Hattrick, for justified reasons.
  • Hidden Depths
    • His idle dialogue has him express some self-awareness about his drinking problem, stating he'll become the next hobo on campus if he doesn't control himself.
    • Galloway can also express hatred for Derby Harrington, expressing the idea that he might fail Derby regardless of the threats made by Derby's father and Dr. Crabblesnitch because Derby has been skipping classes.
      Galloway: Just maybe, I'll fail Derby Harrington in spite of what his father and Dr. Crabblesnitch might say. God knows he deserves it.
  • Insecure Love Interest: Implied. He's genuinely surprised to learn that Ms. Philips is interested in him and he commits himself to a mental hospital to better himself after he was convinced by Hattrick that he was a burden to everyone around him.
  • Meaningful Name: His surname, Galloway, is a breed of cattle found in Scotland. A fitting name for someone who works at Bullworth academy.
  • Mr. Vice Guy: He may be an alcoholic, but he is so kind and nice that he encourages his own students to do their homework assignments in class so that they can have more free time in the evening, among other things.
  • Out-of-Character Moment: Despite being a Cool Teacher who is usually nice to Jimmy, if you encounter him in free-roam mode and greet him politely, he will rudely tell him off. Along with every other teacher, this changes in the playable epilogue. Zig-zagged since when he bust Jimmy, he asks why such a good boy like him would be so violent.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: One of the few in the school who is actually sympathetic and cares about his students. He holds the rich kids and jocks to the same standards as everyone else, but is fair to them too—Luis Luna tells an anecdote about getting a good grade on an English paper because Mr. Galloway talked him into writing about football. He also doesn't reprimend Jimmy for using a swear word on test, and complements him for such young school spirit.
  • Younger Than They Look: Is only 34 years old. The stress of the job and his alcoholism makes him look at least ten years older.

    Mr. Hattrick 

Mr. Hattrick

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hattrick.png
Voiced by Charles Turner
Bullworth Academy's sadistic Math teacher. Has been bullying Galloway for some time, pushing the poor man into alcoholism.
  • Abhorrent Admirer: It's suggested that Hattrick also has feelings for Ms. Philips but she finds him repulsive and evil for how he treats people.
  • Cold Sniper: Some of Pedro's dialogue indicates he was a sniper during the Korean War. He could be responsible for the friendly fire incident that destroyed Mr. Grant's platoon in Korea.
  • Fat Bastard: He's considerably pudgy, and is one of the nastiest characters in the game.
  • For the Evulz: Comes from a wealthy family and has no financial need to keep his job at Bullworth—he stays there mainly because he enjoys bullying students and faculty.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Of the faculty, Hattrick appears to be the most hated by his peers. Crabblesnitch is too aloof, Miss Danvers is too busy pining for her boss, Galloway hates him for bullying him, Ms. Phillips hates him for hitting on her and for bullying her boyfriend, and Edna has no qualms about contaminating Hattrick's food at Jimmy's request. According to Edna, Hattrick and Galloway have hated each other for a long time and it isn't the first time they've been at each others' throats.
  • Jerkass: By far one of the biggest in the game. Generelly unpleasant teach towards students. It says something that he's Jimmy's only teacher he doesn't respect, before Burton.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: He tries to get Galloway fired for drinking on the job, being hung over in front of the children, and hiding bottles of alcohol in the school. Even though he's motivated by his enjoyment of bullying Galloway rather than concern for the kids, and even though years of his bullying is what drove Galloway to drinking in the first place, he's technically right that due to Galloway's behavior Galloway getting fired would be perfectly justifiable.
    • Though the game takes the point of view that Hattrick's sins (bullying students and teachers alike while helping the rich students cheat and taking kickbacks) are far worse than Galloway's (drinking).
  • Large Ham: He's quite bombastic in his dialogue. Subtlety is definitely not his thing.
  • Older Than They Look: Cut out dialogue suggests he is 48 years old, but by his looks, he seems to be a few years younger at best.
  • Pet the Dog: He's actually relatively pleasant in Math class if you do well, though he won't hide his surprise if Jimmy manages to pass his class.
  • Sadist Teacher: Doesn't think corporal punishment in school is adequate—he wants capital punishment.
    Children are like dogs! They only learn through frequent punishment!
  • Scary Black Man: He may be obese, but he's also the physically largest character in the game and a former soldier. He was actually able to intimidate Russell into behaving himself, and none of the other teachers are willing to stand up to him.

    The Hobo 

The Hobo

Voiced by Angus Hepburn

  • Actor Allusion: One of the townswomen quips something about Mr. Grant having once been "the star of the Scottish Stage." His voice actor, Angus Hepburn, is Scottish and primarily a stage actor.
  • All There in the Manual: Downplayed. His name is revealed to be Mr. Grant in hard-to-find dialogue by townswomen mention his name, and his file names are also Grant.
  • Noodle Incident: The Hobo appears to really dislike Dr. Crabblesnitch. Some dialogue from the Nerds and Bullies in the game indicate he may have been a former teacher before being fired.
    • In the game, Grant mentions his platoon was destroyed during a friendly fire incident in Korea. Mr. Hattrick is mentioned to be a Korean War sniper. Seeing Hattrick's dialogue, it's possible he was responsible for the incident.
  • Retired Badass: He was a veteran in the Korean War. In addition, all of the moves he teaches to Jimmy were part of his military combat training.
  • Serious Business: He requires the transistor parts for a project he's making, before it's too late. It's revealed to do with aliens.
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: Miss Danvers announces over the PA system that the Hobo is NOT a fired former teacher and there are to be no rumors to the contrary.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: After retrieving all the transistors and teaching Jimmy his last move, he is slowly lifted into the sky by a tractor beam. He doesn't appear again, although the beam can still be seen at night.

Mr. Luntz

Voiced by: Sean Eden

  • Child Hater: Constantly mutters about how much he hates the students and is thrilled when he gets an excuse to rough them up. He even says he's "allowed to hurt them as long as he doesn't leave bruises".
  • Jerkass: Perpetually in a terrible mood and miserable about his lot in life, he dreams of taking it out on everybody else. Notably, if you get him to be polite with you (such as by wearing fancy clothes and haircuts when talking to him), he'll sound like he's downright struggling to be nice.
  • The Starscream: Constantly plotting to take down Dr. Crabblesnitch, although it's unclear why or what he expects to get out of having done so.

  • Hot Teacher: According to the girls.
  • Politically Motivated Teacher: Sometimes tries to get the kids to open their eyes to all the government plots he's worried about. He never gets far with it though, because he gets irritated and tells them to shut up and get to work.

Voiced by: Blaire Ross

  • Hot for Teacher: Just about every guy in the school.
  • Innocent Fanservice Girl: She does a few poses during art classes and Jimmy's portraits get more and more "flattering". She also asks Jimmy for some favors and didn't realize that she was implying that she had feelings for him when, in reality, it was Galloway who caught her eye.
  • Lady in Red: Dons a cleavage-revealing red dress for a date with Mr. Galloway.
  • Mrs. Robinson: Inadvertently tricks Jimmy into thinking she wants a date with him. Instead, it turns out the date is with Galloway; she pinches Jimmy on the cheek and calls him cute.
  • Out-of-Character Moment: Just like Galloway, she's normally one of the nicest teachers on campus but attempting to interact with her in free roam will result in her insulting you at best. This changes in the playable epilogue.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Again, one of the very few in the school.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She and Galloway do end up in a relationship and it helps that Galloway is one of the more popular and affable teachers. That, and they share their hatred for Mr Hattrick.

    Mrs. Peabody 

Mrs. Peabody

Voiced by: Flo Salant

  • Apathetic Teacher: Claims she has never been happy ever since she was five years old, and considers this to be unfortunate.
  • Does Not Like Men: Wishes for Bullworth to be an all-girls school. Not only does she punish boys unfairly every chance she gets, she outright brags about it too.
  • Gonk: Not to Edna's extent, but she has an unpleasant, pinched, hawkish face set in a perpetual scowl.
  • The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Downplayed—While she's seen patrolling the girls' dorm (and the girls' washroom in one mission), her actual teaching role is unknown. It's been speculated that she's the Home Economics teacher since there's a Home Economics room but no designated teacher. However, there's no specific evidence for this.

  • Former Teen Rebel: Used to be a troublemaker when he was younger. He turned it around while at Bullworth and became a historian. At least the system worked well for one person...
  • Minor Major Character: He has no role in the story, bar one minor appearance in a Scholarship Edition mission, and teachers don't spawn very frequently in free roam either. For these reasons, he's unknown to most players.
  • Trivia: In-universe example: he spouts these under his breath. Did you know that the Spanish Armada had faster ships, but the English ships were more powerful? Or do you want to know how to tell the difference between Italian and Swedish meatballs? Just ask Mr. Wiggins.

  • Dirty Cop: Double subverted—he's a nice guy and not openly corrupt, but an errand shows he has at least one corrupt dealing with Milhailovich, the motel owner.
  • Glory Days: His days as a high school track star.
  • Police Brutality: Averted. He doesn't seem to enjoy police brutality, or at least he takes care to cover that up.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Seems to genuinely care for juveniles in Bullworth. He drops Jimmy off at school if he's caught during curfew or playing truant, and also warns him about the consequences of crime every time.
  • Token Minority: The only black officer in Bullworth's police department.

Officer Morrison

Voiced by: James Norton

  • Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: Not a corrupt or brutal guy, but is a bit slow.
  • By-the-Book Cop: The only cop not shown to be engaging in corruption or police brutality.
  • Momma's Boy: He's rather close to his mother and mentions her often. Sometimes he'll even call out to her when knocked out.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: He never abuses his authority and is an Authoritarian at worst. He also gives Jimmy two different side quests to help maintain the Tenements, even though the only people it'll be benefiting are the Greasers.
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: Apparently he's wearing a bra and a girdle underneath that uniform and mentions shopping for lingerie. He's still one of the more noble members of the Bullworth Police Department.

  • Confess in Confidence: He doesn't seem to put much stock in doctor-patient confidentiality. His dialogue on the streets and in conversations reveals much about the students of Bullworth; Gary and Bif are apparently on medication, and Damon is apparently mentally ill.
  • Dr. Jerk: He's a doctor, and also one of the haughtiest, most unpleasant residents of Old Bullworth Vale.

Ms. Isaacs

Voiced by: Tiffany Little-Canfield

  • Ascended Extra: Well, her character model, not her. Ms. Isaacs was one of the few characters to never have any individual role at any point in the original game. So, in Scholarship Edition, during the mission "Rudy the Red Nosed Santa", all the parents dialogue was assigned to her character model and the model was placed just off camera to give the illusion of multiple characters.
  • Pretty in Mink: Her most common outfit is blue coat with a silver fur collar.
  • Stepford Smiler: Talks about her wealth and her loves of cashmere and pursuing love itself. Actually an arrogant woman whose previous cheating incident left her no choice but to move to a town she dislikes.
  • Unreliable Narrator: She talks a lot about why she left an unspecified Big City to move to Bullworth, and her stories always paint her in the best light - even when they conflict with each other.

It's then implied that they are Gary Smith's parents, which would make Mr. Smith his grandfather.
  • Fiction 500: Is rich, even by Bullworth Vale standards.

  • The Quincy Punk: His leather tights, tattoo sleeves, mohawk and tons of piercings fit the aesthetic.

Handy

Voiced by: Paul Diomede

  • Jerkass: He constantly insults Jimmy, saying things like "Even I wouldn't want your clothes", "Even my teeth are better than yours", and "I hate you, yes you!".
  • Small Name, Big Ego: One of his quotes is "You're not nearly as important as me!". Keep in mind he's a homeless man.

Mr. Johnson

  • Workaholic: Works all the time, loves it, doesn't understand how anybody can be any other way.

Krakauer

Voiced by: Walter Mueller

  • Shell-Shocked Veteran: He fought (or at least thinks he fought) in both World War I and World War II. Supposedly he was an ace pilot, and he complains about such ace pilots as Eddie Rickenbacker and Roy Brown stealing his kills and his glory. But he claims he got demoted to the trenches, and now claims he kills people and buries them in his back yard.

  • Jaded Washout: Former star quarterback for the Bullworth Bullhorns, now owns a newspaper stand and his cheerleader wife "couldn't wear her old cheerleading skirt as a garter" according to him.''
  • No Name Given: His name was found in the datafiles, never mentioned in the game itself.

Mr. Salvatore
