Biography
NOTHING LIKE OLD SCHOOL BULLYING
Jimmy Hopkins is a 15 year old student at Bullworth Academy. He was sent there after being expelled from all of his previous schools, but tries to be a better student when he's not faced with the threat of jocks, preppies, and girls. Jimmy carries with him all of the essential items in surviving school life. Books, firecrackers, a slingshot, and other confiscatable items.

Arcade
Opening
Jimmy's story opens during his second semester at Bullworth Academy. He hears rumors of a special "fight" taking place outside of the school and that the winner would be respected as ruler of the school. Ordinarily, Jimmy wouldn't care, but after hearing that Gary, his arch rival, would be entering, he decides to join just to see Gary lose.
Rival
Name: Niko Bellic
Reason: While revisiting Bullworth Academy, Jimmy notices a man apparently investigating a search for someone named Dimitri Rascalov. For unknow reasons, Jimmy decides to hit the man with a slingshot and takes off running, being chased by the prefects. The man tells the prefects that he'll take care of Jimmy and introduces himself as Niko Bellic, telling Jimmy that he needs to learn to respect adults. However, Jimmy, being the little deviant that he is, decides to throw a rubber band ball at Niko, and is surprised when the man catches it and throws it back at him, knocking Jimmy over. Bellic then cracks his neck and motions toward Jimmy, claiming "All right, I guess you'll have to learn the hard way, you little brat!", to which Jimmy gets up and replies, "Bring it on, old man!"
Connection: Both are popular protagonists from games developed by Rockstar Games. Bullworth Academy also appears as an easter egg in Grand Theft Auto IV. Both characters are betrayed by someone they believe to be an ally at one point (Dimitri Rascalov in Niko's case, Gary Smith in Jimmy's case). Both characters also take part in illegal activities, although Hopkins' actions aren't as sincere as Niko's (numerous counts from criminal activity, such as theft and murder, in Niko's case, and multiple acts of bullying, such as wedgies and school vandalism, in Jimmy's case). Both characters also have short hair, and can purchase additionaly clothing in their home games, allowing them to have outfits chosen by the player.
Ending
After defeating Polygon Man, Jimmy returns to Bullworth Academy. He finds Gary and delivers a wedgie, humiliating him in front of the whole school. As the AP radiates from Jimmy, he issues a new declaration: that if anyone tries to mess with him, he would humiliate them in front of everyone, and wouldn't stand for any more bullying at Bullworth.
Gameplay
Jimmy would have a trickster playstyle, using many childish weapons and utilizing bullying methods to fight with. Some of his moves revolve around stunning opponents.
