JB Bullet (ジェイビー バレット Jeibī Baretto?) is a playable character in Ollie King. He is a Speed type character with a goofy stance that has great speed and power, but has poor cornering to contrast this. JB is considered to be a character that is best reserved for the "expert rider".
Overview[]
Appearance[]
JB's color scheme consists of red, black and white. He wears a unbuttoned shirt jacket and black pants that are supported by a black belt with red and white lines. On his right pant side he has a red bandage, and a chain hanging out. His model reveals him having a tattoo on his right arm while his left arm has a bracelet on it. His skate shoes are red and white with black soles. He wears a red headband on top. His overall appearance gives him a rocker or biker-esque look to him, complementing his personality.
His board design consists of the colors, orange, black, yellow, and white. At the end of it "JB" is visible in a royal font. His board also features the coat of arms that says "The King" at the top. In game, JB's board is different, while black and orange are still present, the other half of the board is colored beige and features the name "Francis" instead.
Personality and playstyle[]
JB is described as a wild character according to his in-game profile. Coming off as a bit gruff and rough around the edges and even a bit boastful, his confidence in high skating skills implies that he's an honest and straightforward person, if a bit blunt, and respects those who have the bite to back it up. He is the only other character in Ollie King to have a goofy stance, something that he shares with Scott Ripper. He is a "Speed Type" or "Speed Focused Type" character, making him one of the fastest characters in the game. He also has great grinding balance.

Trivia[]
- JB and Scott Ripper are the only characters in Ollie King to have a "goofy" stance.
- JB is the same age as Cube from Jet Set Radio, with both characters being 20 years old.
- While not the same wording, JB's character, or "trait" can be seen similar to that of Piranha/Sugar from Jet Set Radio, as she is described as "reckless" and JB is described as "wild".
- While not 1-to-1, the character in the Ollie King logo seems to be somewhat reminiscent of JB's design.
- The concept art for JB shows that his design was close to his finalized look. The only differences is that the orange t-shirt was dropped in favor for the unbuttoned red shirt jacket and he was given a headband in his final look.
- As mentioned and seen above, the textures for JB's board contains the name "Francis". Francis was one of the original 3 characters of Ollie King who were eventually replaced by the final cast. The texture appearing on JB's board seems to imply that Francis was retooled to be JB Bullet for the final game.
