Background

Tropes

 * The Ace: Jacob has knowledge and advanced expertise in everything, from mundane things like farming and construction all the way up to magic, dimensional travel and experience in murdering all sorts of horrifying creatures and Eldritch Abomination terrors.
 * The Aloner: Only applies to single-player.
 * Badass Beard: Jacob's old skin had one. It was removed without reason, as Fandom Can't Have Nice Things.
 * Badass Normal: Punches down trees, swims up waterfalls, builds entire cities, carts around a thousand lbs. of equipment, slaughters a hundred creature with nothing more strong than blades and a gun, regularly travels to the Underworld to gather building materials, the list goes on.
 * Big Eater: Justified by the hunger bar, but that still does not stop him from eating entire baguettes and cakes in one sitting.
 * The Blacksmith: He does not even need a forge and hammer to make metallic weaponry/armor, just a workbench and his bare hands (Charles Atlas Superpower).
 * Bold Explorer: He explores the world of Venture either bit-by-bit or in big leaps and bounds.
 * Brown Eyes
 * Character Customization: Through the use of skins, he can look like anything you want him to, within the limitations of a human form.
 * Charles Atlas Superpower: He can hold many times his weight.
 * Curtains Match the Windows: Downplayed; Robert has brown hair and brown eyes, although his hair is a much darker shade.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Demonstrated at the Trade Center when he is talking with Roby:
 * *Robyn: You need to stop smoking.
 * *Robert: *Scoffing* And you need a new pair of jeans,
 * *Robyn: *Surprised* You thought I didn't know that?
 * Gag Penis: Although it is covered in Venture: Bounty after he is regurgitated by the Void Dino, it takes an entire Jujube Tree to cover his junk due to Robert losing his clothes inside of the beast.
 * I'm a Humaninitarian: He actively eats human pancreas from Cannibals. He still gets poisoned, though.
 * Raging Stiffle: Robert is implied to have "hardened" when he first sees Roby at the Trade Center. It lowers when she tells him not to smoke.
