## Background

Jimmy is the sixteen year old son of an unnamed mother and a wealthy stepfather. Jimmy is a notorious troublemaker who has been expelled from seven different schools for a multitude of reasons, most notably graffiti, vandalism, initiating fights, and according to some, arson. He is forced to Bullworth Academy at the beginning of the game, and the school is Jimmy's last chance if he doesn't want to get booted to juvenile detention, but knowing the school's reputation, he prepares for the worst.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Superhuman Physicality:** Jimmy is able to accomplish strength and speed feats far above anything the average teenager can do. He has also survived lethal injuries that would outright kill a normal human, which includes but not limited to taking point-blank explosions, falling from several floors, getting his skull bashed in by a sledgehammer, casually walking off getting crushed by large metallic bells, etc.
* **Master Martial Artist:** Jimmy is highly proficient in karate, wrestling and boxing, to the point where he can take on many groups of students tougher/more skilled than him and come out on top without breaking a sweat.
* **Weapon Proficiency:** Can utilize firecrackers, spud guns, explosive bottle rocket launchers, slingshots, stink bombs, etc.
* **Weapon Creation:** As an aftermath of completing all Chemistry classes, he can make firecrackers, itching powder and stink bombs in a matter of seconds with just a miniature lab set.
* **Intelligence:** Jimmy is surprisingly smarter than people depict him as, as he possesses a sense of maturity and calmness better than that of his peers. He is a quick-witted problem solver who uses the environment to his advantage and turns the tide in fights. He is capable of passing and excelling all his classes.
* **Stealth Mastery:** Jimmy has successfully sneaked around police officers, mental asylum orderlies, prefects and teachers without making a peep.

## Equipment

### Weapons

* **Super Slingshot:** This slingshot replaced Jimmy's standard slingshot in the mission *The Candidate*. It possesses an infinite amount of ammo, and it is strong enough to knock out football players (in one headshot) and cops in full gear.
* **Fire Cracker:** Creates a spontaneous explosion once hit at an opponent.
* **Stink Bomb:** When slammed onto the ground or an opponent, the stink bomb creates a giant green mist that's so repulsive, it will blind an opponent, make them cover their nose and leave them open to attacks.
* **Itching Powder:** Causes intense itching and leaves people vulnerable to being attacked.
* **Bag of Marbles:** Once tossed on the ground, dozens of marbles will fall out and will cause anyone who steps on them to trip.
* **Egg Carton:** The carton holds 12 eggs. An egg can be tossed to temporarily blind someone.
* **Spray Paint:** Can be sprayed in someone's eyes to blind them and temporarily render them stunned.
* **Bottle Rocket Launcher:** Contains 12 explosive bottled rockets that cause a great deal of damage. It is a short-range weapon as any shots fired from a long ranged distance will be inaccurate. It must be reloaded after 3 shots.
* **Spud Gun:** A potato gun that gives opponents an overwhelming amount of damage. It is strong enough to pulverize giant marble columns in a single shot and knock out prefects with one headshot.
* **Rubber Band Ball:** A bouncy ball that holds infinite "ammo", with a brief "recharging" period after being launched. It knocks down anyone it hits (except Jimmy) and will bounce around everywhere after being thrown.

### Vehicles

* **Skateboard:** The skateboard is Jimmy's main source of transportation, which he was given to as a gift from Bucky in the mission *Save Bucky*. It is fast enough for Jimmy to move more swiftly than cars.
* **BMX V** - A flaming red bicycle that Jimmy unlocks after passing every Shop class. It is the fastest bicycle in the game, even being faster than the moped.
* **Moped** - The moped is a scooter that can reach 35 mph.
* **Go-Kart** - The go-kart is a vehicle given to Jimmy after passing all the street races. It is the fastest vehicle in the game, and can outrun police motorcycles - something none of the other vehicles can do.

### Costumes

* **Black Ninja Suit** - This costume makes Jimmy nearly undetectable in the dark.
* **Green Ninja Suit** - Another ninja suit, but unlike the previous costume, this one greatly increases Jimmy's accuracy and damage with weapons.

### Melee Weapons

* Baseball bat
* Brick
* Lead pipe
* Fire extinguisher
* Garbage can lid
* Poison gun
* Ruler
* Sledgehammer
* Vases
* Lunch tray

### Miscellaneous

* **Beam Cola** - Fully replenishes Jimmy's health.
* **Apples/Bananas** - Moderately restores his health.

## Weaknesses

* Short-tempered.
* Somewhat gullible (Easily got tricked by Gary and Derby, although he was smart enough to see through Lola's manipulative tactics).
* His go-kart can flip over if he's driving at full speed and hits a bumpy object.

*Note: Jimmy always getting exhausted at 1am and passing out at 2 should **not** be considered a weakness, as they are nothing more than game mechanics implemented for the purpose of Rockstar making the player feel like a kid again. Jimmy being unable to take on adults in a fight should also be considered a mechanic/gameplay-induced stupidity, as he is consistently portrayed as **MUCH**stronger than that.*

## Fun Facts

* During the development of the game, Jimmy was supposed to be an actual bully, or in Rockstar's words, "a player-controlled antagonist", but became the playable character during the game's release.
* Jimmy's natural hair color is red.
* He made #1 on WatchMojo's Top 10 Teen Heroes list.
