Jock

"He's very energetic and active. I'd consider him a mood maker here in <town name>!"

— Isabelle, talking about a Jock villager, Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Bill, a jock villager who appears in every game of the Animal Crossing series

Jock villagers are male villagers in the Animal Crossing series. The name comes from the American stereotype, usually seen as high school or college jocks. A jock is a male athlete, in the light of the media, considered unintelligent and dull-witted, which is reflected in the Animal Crossing personality type by their key interests in physical fitness and sports, including wrestling and typical gym exercises such as leg-squats and push-ups. These interests are unseen in the game, unlike the other hobbies. Jocks are often immature and naive and are considered the male equivalent to peppy villagers.

Characteristics

Jocks are obsessed with sports, talking frequently about their love of sports and sporting progress. Stereotypically, they are also unintelligent, incessantly confusing themselves - calling the brain "the Brian" and failing to even grasp the concept of the game 'rock, paper, scissors'.

They are the brother-like characters in the game, giving pep talks to the player and appearing competitive toward them and other villagers when they partake in town events. They usually go to sleep at 12:00 AM and wake up at 6:30 AM. In New Leaf, they wake up at 7:00 AM. They are rarely angry unless offended by lazy villagers, who have conflicting personalities, but usually a discussion between the two will leave the jock villager confused and unable to talk. When jocks get sad, they say something like "I'm just sweating through my eyes!". When at the player's house, the villager will often say something like, "We have the same taste in sportswear!" They do not worry so much about fashion.

Quotes

Below are some (not all) quotes made by jock villagers.

"Tadaaaa! Check out these spiffy basic duds, bro! But what does "basic" really mean? I'm starting to wonder if I have any fashion sense..."
"It’s go time for me today! I’m always at full speed, no matter what the weather is like!"
"Hey, <player>! Check me out! …No, I’m not talking about my clothes! I wanted you to appreciate my rippling muscles! I think of clothes as the icing on the scrumptious cake that is my jaw-dropping physique! Haha!"
"<player>! Big favor for you! The other day I set a world record for the 100-meter dash. But no one was there to see it! So if you could go ahead and spread the news, that would be great! Thanks, bud! <catchphrase>!"
"Man, I need a jogging buddy! I need someone who can take off for a run at the drop of a hat! Someone I can just be myself with! Like <male villager> and <male villager>! That’s exactly what I need! Ha ha! I can’t imagine the two of them jogging together, though!"
