* OneOfUs: Goes without saying. Even putting aside the video games, he's proven himself to be a massive fanboy of Creator/{{Disney}}, TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}, Series/DoctorWho, Franchise/StarWars, and countless other cornerstones of nerdiness.

----
!!This Let's Player provides examples of:

* AntiHero: Necro's ubiquitous player avatar in his Bethesda series, Harry, is played strongly as a PragmaticHero.
* BadassBaritone: Between this and his accent, Necro's voice is instantly recognizable.
* BerserkButton: Child killers, abusers, and generally anyone who would hurt a kid. Also religion on occasion, as his LP of VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas proved in two separate instances.
* ClusterFBomb: The final chapter of his Walking Dead LP becomes this in fairly short order, as a testament to just how much the game affected him.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Necro has admitted to a long history of self-harming and mental health issues, including anxiety and clinical OCD. He and Rose, who has similar troubles, have discussed these things openly in a number of videos.
* DeadpanSnarker: A comparatively lighthearted example.
* EpicFail: His Let's Fail series are dedicated to these by default, as are some of his Strange Game Saturdays.
* GoshDangItToHeck: In the name of avoiding profanity, Necro relies on a combination of this - sometimes almost verbatim - and a vocabulary of rather creative substitute expletives, e.g. "funk" and "fuzz" for [[ClusterFBomb the obvious]].
* KleptomaniacHero: Pretty much any time he gets the chance, with Harry being the gold standard.
* NiceGuy: Definitely one of the friendlier, more jovial members of the Let's Play community, in contrast to his tendency to play thieving vigilantes whenever presented the opportunity.
* OneOfUs: Goes without saying. Even putting aside the video games, he's proven himself to be a massive fanboy of Creator/{{Disney}}, TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}, Series/DoctorWho, Franchise/StarWars, and countless other cornerstones of nerdiness.
* PapaWolf: Very much so. Having a young daughter himself (fun fact her MIDDLE is name is rose which was used online for privacy reasons), Necro admitted that his paternal instincts translated to him being fiercely protective of Clementine in VideoGame/TheWalkingDead.
** This trait has either increased or shown more after he deleted and began replaying his [=LPs=]. In particular, in his Let's Play of Final Fantasy 8--in the original, he hated Laguna in his original recording, and continued to in his redo--right up until the Winhill flashback where Laguna is seen acting as a surrogate father to Ellone [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming and is instantly redeemed in Necro's eyes.]]
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Stands firmly by this policy in [=RPGs=]. Notable examples include [[spoiler: killing Danny St. John]] in VideoGame/TheWalkingDead and, even more brutally, [[spoiler: massacring Roy and the Tenpenny ghouls wholesale in VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}]].
-->'''Necro:''' Butcher the building.
* PrecisionFStrike: On very, ''very'' rare occasions, Necro has been known to let an f-bomb or two slip when a game gets particularly intense.
* SaveScumming: Good ''god'' but is Necro the reigning master of this trope.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: And he has the horror Let's Plays to prove it. Rose often shows him up with her nerves of steel in their horror videos and streams.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Necro and Rose are an ''amazingly'' sappy couple.
* TenMinuteRetirement: Came out of self-imposed [=YouTube=] exile in February 2017, after a months-long absence.
* ThatsWhatSheSaid: A catch phrase of his, in amongst the Resident Evil quotes.
* WhamEpisode: Part 7 of his ''Civilization I'' LP.
--> [[spoiler:"A sneak atta-- WHOA!]]
--> [[spoiler:...The Indians just nuked us..."]]
