You can indeed. You can even knock out police officers, IF you set it up just right. I will show that off later in the LP.

Also, feel free to add whatever you like from the wiki. I do address many of the points in later videos, but it's a great supplement and I have no problem with it being in the thread. This is an old game so I'm not that concerned about spoilers (as long as we don't give away the ENTIRE plot).

just checked - rando townies can also be knocked the gently caress out though it's pretty difficult to do it without expending firecrackers or a cop getting involved

townies are not in the habit of attacking jimmy as well so there's not a ton of point to doing that.

Mr. Galloway

Mr. Lionel Galloway is the English teacher at Bullworth Academy. A gaunt man of 34 years, his drinking habit has marked his face and caused premature aging.
Galloway often comes to teach his class still hungover, and is known to sometimes drink in front of the students, poorly disguising his favored scotch whiskey and calling it his “tea”.

Despite his habit, Mr. Galloway, along with Ms. Philips, is one of the most well-liked and respected teachers among the students.
He is very open and caring with the students, and believes that students sharing their classwork with others is “an admirable show of teamwork”.
Galloway encourages his students to finish their classwork on time, and will even let them leave early if they manage to finish before the bell rings.

Mr. Galloway's primary cause for drinking appears to be stress on the job, coming particularly from his ever-present tormentor, Mr. Hattrick, the Math teacher at Bullworth.
Recently Hattrick discovered Galloway drinking on the job, and vowed to get Galloway fired for his indiscretions.
Fortunately, Jimmy Hopkins, wishing to aid his teacher, managed to find all of Mr. Galloway's stashes of alcohol around the school and disposed of them by giving them to Ms. Philips (who proceeded to give them to the hobo behind the school). Jimmy was rewarded with a camera for his efforts and allowed to attend Photography class.

Mr. Galloway took an instant liking to Jimmy when he first entered Bullworth, and it seems that his judge of character was well-placed.

Editor's Note: Mr. Galloway is a great character. As someone who has dealt with addictions in the past, I know all too well how easy it is to slip into the abyss that Galloway finds himself.
It's awesome to see that he has people like Jimmy and Ms. Philips who look out for him and want to help him break the cycle.

We'll be seeing a lot more of Galloway and Ms. Philips, incidentally.

You get three shots at Shop class per attempt, same as Chemistry or Art.

I think the reason people have problems with Shop is because they match the prompt once or so, then stop. This is a mistake. You should keep matching the prompt until it disappears. You can hear the game give a confirmation of success for every match if you have the volume set just right (it's kinda hard to hear).

Ms. Philips

Ms. Deirdre Philips is the Art teacher at Bullworth Academy, and is one of the most popular teachers at the school.
She is very encouraging to her students, rather than denigrating like some of the less popular teachers. Ms. Philips is especially popular with the boys in the school, and this may be due to her attractiveness and sex appeal.
She gets on well with female students for the most part, but some are jealous of her, and tend to spread rumors about her (such as Christy).
Such rumors typically suggest that she hits on male students, though whether this is true or just wishful thinking on their part is open for debate.

Ms. Philips has a close relationship with Mr. Galloway, and rumors fly constantly that the two are dating. Time will tell.

Ms. Philips has taken a liking to Jimmy, noting his particular skill in art and photography, commenting that he's a bit rough around the edges but he has real talent that shines through.
Ever since he helped cover for Mr. Galloway and saved him from being fired for drinking on the job, Ms. Philips has grown closer to Jimmy, accepting him as something of a confidante.

Editor's Note: I like Ms. Philips as well. You can tell her feelings for Mr. Galloway are genuine, and she really wants to help him.
As for her … flirtations … it's honestly hard to say whether or not she's even aware that she's doing it.

I'll save the spoilery stuff for when it's relevant in the story (ie. when it's not a spoiler anymore).

For the major characters, at least, I do plan on doing bios revisited, to cover character arcs and whatnot. Minor characters will get a one-off. These will include small-time clique members as well as teachers that don't have a huge bearing on the story. As for tertiary characters (townspeople, etc.) ... go nuts. I'm probably not going to cover them because I can't be arsed.

Non-Clique Kids- Covers the kids not in any of the school's Factions and the Little Kids.

Prominent Townspeople- Any Bulworth residents of note.

I'll also do side reports on the Faction Members after they are addressed by you similar to what I've already done for the Bullies.

Didn't know updated bios were in your plans before. :) Looking forward to them.

The Preppies (from left to right: Bryce, Chad, Gord, Justin, Parker, Tad)

The Preppies are the rich kids at Bullworth. They take their orders from Derby Harrington, and from his right-hand man and bodyguard, Bif Taylor.
The Preppies come from Old World money (with the exceptions of Tad and Chad, who are nouveau riche), and as such are snobbish and look down upon their fellow students.
It is also a rumor (and a running joke in the game) that they are hiding numerous deformities due to rampant inbreeding.

Initially befriending Jimmy Hopkins after he wins a boxing tournament, they relinquish the deed to an old abandoned beach house to him as a prize (the prize for the tournament was to be a one million dollar dream home,
but Jimmy wasn't eligible for it). However, their relationship with Hopkins remains strained, due to the fact that he is from another social class.
Also, Pinky Gauthier, a girl in the Preppies clique bretrothed to Derby Harrington, has recently taken a liking to Jimmy.

While they seem to be maintaining an air of civility around Jimmy, it appears superficial at best. Will this facade crumble in time?

Editor's Note: There are some singular characters I despise, but when it comes to cliques, I definitely hate the Preppies the most.

Alright, this seems a good time for this article.

Non-Prominent Non-Faction Students of Bulworth

These characters are just generic students of Bulworth and have little bearing on the story. They're in the background. However, they still have unique dialogue and distinct personalities. Some of them even pop up in Missions now and then.

The four Non-Faction students who are more prominent- Christy, Angie, Eunice, and Constantinos- will appear in a separate article at a later time.

Non-Faction Students

These are average kids attending Bulworth- the school's grade system is not clear, so it's hard to say exactly how old they are. The Non-Faction Students of Jimmy's age are just generic kids, mostly. Often one can find them getting picked on by Bullies or other Faction students. Sometimes they socialize with Faction students also, and it is possible they may aspire to join those Factions when they are older or the Factions become willing to recruit them. They do not harass other Students, except each other and the Nerds on occasion (everyone can be mean to the Nerds). They usually don't attack Jimmy unless attacked first, but may tattle on him if they witness him bullying people.

The general attitude of these kids towards Jimmy is an average of all the Factions', excluding Townies', Respect Levels. Generally it is easy to direct their behavior towards supportive or hostile, though, depending on your actions.

Non-Prominent Non-Faction Boys

Gordon is a wannabe Prep, very crude in language and arrogant snob in attitude. He claims to be recruited by Ivy League schools, but his grades or income may not be up to that in reality. Dresses as Jason Voorhees on Halloween.

Ivan claims to have leprosy and sleep disorders, but this may or may not be true. He claims friendship with Jocks and can be seen holding hands with Angie now and then.

Lance is pleasant most of the time, only conceited on occasion. He is one of the few students at Bulworth with no interest in bullying or the social order. Very laid-back.

Ray is overweight with a wild imagination, big into reading and videogames. He's also the worst male fighter in the school, can only shove you. This probably kept him out of the Nerds Faction. Occasionally he and Eunice hold hands.

Trevor is the goal-oriented type, hates the rowdy atmosphere at Bulworth and tries to stay under the radar. He dresses as a Werewolf on Halloween and may also be trying to join the Bullies that night- he attacks Jimmy using their fighting style on that Mission only.

Next article will be on the Non-Faction Little Kids, then I'll do one on the Preps, including Pinky, Darby (I spell his name how it's pronounced, probably irritates him, that's fine by me), and Biff.

Pinky Gauthier

Pinky is a girl from the Preppies clique, around 15 years old. She is attractive, but very spoiled. Like the other Preppies, she tends to be hostile to those she considers to be below her social status.
Unlike her peers, however, she has a fascination with the underprivileged in society. This can be seen in her donating clothes to charity, and she will date boys from the lower class.

She has been, until recently, betrothed to her cousin, Derby Harrington. Their families insisted that they keep their bloodlines and traditions pure and so wished for the two to intermarry. However ...

Pinky has developed an interest in Jimmy. She first felt the stirrings of attraction when she witnessed his victory over Russell in the Hole, then cheered him on when he successfully defeated the Preppies in a boxing tournament.
Recently the two began dating. Pinky was supposed to go on a date with Derby, but ditched when Derby failed to arrive (after three minutes of waiting).
Pinky left instead with Jimmy, and the two went on a carnival date, which proved to be successful.

What will the future hold for the two young lovers?

Editor's Note: Pinky is … alright. I find her infinitely more tolerable than the rest of the Preppies. Her spoiled nature seems to be born almost out of innocence, rather than malevolence.

Something cool with Pinky is this - she doesn't pull the "Do you know who I am?" kind of schtick that the other preppies do - she knows that there is no reason for Jimmy to have heard of her and she's fine with that. Also other than Petey she is the only character who sees through Gary's crap. She's naive and spoiled, but maybe a better judge of character than she may let on.

Edit: Wow. On that "Let's go pick up the bear now!" line it sounded like Pinky's actress blew the hell out of the audio.

Had to shift plans around a bit. I watched some of the videos ahead of time but forgot the mission placement, then watched them again to refresh my memory. Oh well, let's catch up on girls.

Pinky, predictably, dresses as a Princess on Halloween. She also packs a slingshot on that Mission only (usually girls just push and slap you when fighting) and it's the only time she wanders around the school. Otherwise you have to look for her in a specific location like the Football Field, Harrington House, or Girls Dorm. She can be found wandering Old Bulworth Vale and the Carnival at any time.

Pinky is a cheerleader for the Bulworth Bulls along with Mandy, Christy, and Angie. The game considers all these characters Jocks when in cheerleading uniform despite their respective cliques.

Girls like Pinky aren't that attractive to me personally. I can appreciate the good heart others have mentioned, but the snobby elitism just doesn't do it for me at all.

Beatrice- reviewed the Wiki today and my own gaming memories. Not much I can say about her that hasn't already been said. Oh well.

Christy is a gossipy girl with high interest in making out and the social order. Occasionally she also muses about fire and suicide in her dialogue, an interesting contrast. She is potentially the only kissable girl at Bulworth Jimmy can never kiss in a 100% completion game (we get Angie after Art 1, Eunice and the Faction Girls in Missions).

Angie is a shy girl. Like Christy, she enjoys gossip, but hers is more up to date while Christy's concentrates on the rumor mill. Dresses as a witch on Halloween. As has been shown off in a video, Angie is also the only girl who can appear in the Boys Dorm (it's a glitch).

Eunice is insecure and moody a lot of the time, but also one of the nicer girls at Bulworth. I say this because she is the only character who will still kiss Jimmy when he is wearing outfits that make most people laugh at him on sight. This includes the Alien Costume and a few other things we haven't seen yet. That's true love right there.

Eunice is also the first girl Jimmy can be nice to and kiss in the game (first Mission, This is Your School).

Usually you just have to mow lawns when busted, but in the winter things are different. :) Pity you can't get out of your punishment any way other than doing it. I too like to attack...

The Prefects

These four seniors wander Bulworth's campus enforcing rules. Jimmy crosses paths with them at his peril. They are not in the Yearbook, nor are they seen attending Classes. Easily spotted as red dots on the radar or by their blue suits and large stature. They can bust not only Jimmy, but almost anyone else they see breaking the law. Occasionally they can be seen in Bulworth town- in this case they have been documented busting Townsfolk for law violations. If the criminal escapes, they try to make Citizen's Arrest on the Prefects and are then busted by the Police in response. Jimmy is their preferred target over anyone else, and they usually only bust female characters for curfew and trespassing, ignoring them otherwise. In the early development of Bully it was possible to bribe Prefects to leave Jimmy alone, but that was changed. They also carried paddles or police style batons in early development and wore red vests.

Karl- Leader of the group per the game data files. Shorter than many students, but has no trouble busting them. Extreme authoritarian, like all Prefects. His background is unknown.

Seth- The most prominent prefect, toughest of the bunch and in charge of overseeing Detention. Also worst of the bunch in terms of abusing authority, though they all do that to some degree and enjoy it. Former Bully, really enjoys beating people up.

Max- Second in command per the game data files. Comes up with unique insults such as "smearwipe" and "toiletstain". Aspires to be a police officer one day and may be a former Jock.

Edward- Former Prep, now a Prefect. Very arrogant and stuck-up. Only one of the group to wear glasses. Suffers from athsma and STDs along with overblown pride.

Prefects are almost never nice to Jimmy. One particular outfit we don't get till Chapter 5 does allow it, though. I'll mention that when we get there if Antherus does not.
