“You're just rarin' to go! So, uh, whaddaya need, ace?”
― Rod, New Horizons

Rod (ジャン, Jan^?, Jean) is a jock mouse villager in the Animal Crossing series. His name comes from "rodent", a category in which mice fall. His initial phrase, "ace," means "to succeed easily" and "highest quality," which will relate to a jock villager's competitive spirit. He first appeared in Animal Forest e+, and was exclusive to his e-Card which came with the game. He appears on the album cover for K.K. Parade. He appears on the cover of New Horizons. He has the fitness hobby.

Appearance

Rod in Animal Forest e+

Rod is a purple mouse who wears a blue-and-white striped bandana on his head, making him resemble a pirate. He has two white whiskers on the sides of his cheeks along with a round black nose, brown oval eyes, and bubblegum-pink ears. He has a crescent-shaped tuft of blond hair that sticks out of his bandana. Removing his bandana by replacing it with another hat reveals that he also has shorter bangs swept away from his face. Prior to New Horizons, he wears Zipper Shirt as his initial outfit, but this changes to a blue Striped Tank that matches his bandana.

Personality

Below is a brief description of the jock personality. For more information, click here.

Rod (villager) has a jock personality and has a great interest in sports and bodybuilding. Jock villagers are hyperactive and motivated, but often come across as self-centered and dense. As a jock villager, Rod (villager) is very interested in his hobby, and may compete against the player at catching bugs and fish. Jock villagers get along with peppy, cranky and sisterly villagers, but conflict with the laid-back lifestyle of lazy villagers. Snooty villagers may also be difficult to get along with for Rod (villager).

House

In Animal Forest e+, Rod has the same furniture styling as Ricky's house, only that he has the Palace Tile and the Wood Paneling as the carpet and wallpaper.

In Wild World and City Folk, Rod still has some of the pieces from the Ranch Series that he had from Animal Forest e+, including the Ranch Couch and two Ranch Chairs. Other pieces include the Green Counter. He has changed the carpet to the Old Flooring, and on the walls he has the Sea View. He has a Turntable that has K.K. March playing on it.

In New Leaf, Rod's house resembles the deck of a pirate ship. In the back, he has a helm, ship cannon, barrel, and vintage telescope. From the Ranch series, he has a ranch couch and ranch armchair. He also has a life preserver, billiard table, and a retro stereo that plays K.K. March. For wallpaper, he uses the Sea View, and for flooring, he uses the Old flooring.

In New Horizons, Rod's house resembles a cruise ship. He has a pool, billiard table, poolside bed, beach towel, palm-tree lamp, and a jukebox that plays K.K. March. For wallpaper, he uses the Sea View, and for flooring, he uses the Ship Deck.
