Characteristics
Behaviors
Jocks are often depicted as energetic and obsessed with sports, talking frequently about their love of sports and sporting progress. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, they speak with loud, shouting voices, and often use slang such as "bro" (as in "you're so cool, bro"!), "hit me up," or "yo." Stereotypically, they are also unintelligent, calling the brain "the Brian and failing to grasp the concept of the game "rock, paper, scissors." In addition, jocks are also slightly overbearing in their interests, often obsessively asking the player if they are training "like a madman." When jocks get sad, they say something like "I'm just sweating through my eyes!" They do not worry so much about fashion. However, the jock villagers are also brother-like when befriended, giving pep talks to the player and appearing competitive toward them and other villagers when they partake in town events.
In Animal Crossing (GCN), the jock islanders of Animal Island, which include Bud, Drift, and Pigleg, as well as the Dōbutsu no Mori e+ islanders Fruity, Harry (until Animal Crossing: City Folk), and Masa are more casual and laid-back than their mainland counterparts, more singularly interested in surfing and frequently using surfer lingo.
