History Tropers / KyleJacobs

* ChaoticGood

* BadassBiker: See above.

[[folder: My characters provide examples of:]]
'''Altusholt''' (DnD 4E):
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of heavy metal, explaining his EthicalHedonist nature.
* BerserkButton: Don't force your will on people, and don't hurt kids.
* ChaoticGood: VERY chaotic.
* ChivalrousPervert
* EthicalHedonist: With heavy emphasis on the "Hedonist" part, but he's also quick to get serious and do whatever he can to help someone who needs him. He is, at his core, an entertainer.
* FriendToAllChildren
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Pretty much his defining trait. Usually an amoral, hedonistic jackass, but if someone's actually suffering he's the first to get serious and unleash the righteous fury. He's also TheMedic.
* TheMedic

[[/folder]]

* If the campaign is set in feudal Japan, I am not allowed to play as a Tiefling heavy metal bard whose guitar is also an axe and on fire. '''Because he's underpowered.'''
* Said bard does not know the spell "Summon Groupies".

!Other stuff:
[[folder: Projects]]

* {{Remus}}: A webcomic. More info can be found on its page.
* ScriptFrenzy: Accidentally deleted the file before I could go anywhere with it. Never bothered to rewrite it.
* DarthWiki/HelpMe: A 36 page comic that I did for English class after reading Maus. Due to the fact that I was in the middle of a very bad CreatorBreakdown while I was writing it, I destroyed it once I got better. Currently rewriting it in my spare time to make it more clear that it's ThroughTheEyesOfMadness.
* The UG Rock Opera: Stuck in DevelopmentHell, to the point that it's frequently referred to as UG's [[GunsNRoses Chinese Democracy]]
* Currently running a [[LegendGameSystem Legend]] campaign, details [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/lb_i.php?lb_id=13293731540B53114900&i_id=13293731540I53116200 here]].
* Theater/ADogsLife: Not writing it, but I did star in it as part of a school one-act festival.

** It has recently gotten much more badass thanks to a [[BaldOfAwesome radical change in my hairstyle]].

* GenerationXerox / IdenticalGrandson / LikeFatherLikeSon: My father's side of the family has some damn strong genes. [[BrownEyes Pretty]] [[CarpetOfVirility much]] [[GeekPhysiques every]] [[NoIndoorVoice single]] [[BadassBeard physical]] [[BigOlEyebrows trait]] I have also appears on him. The exceptions are [[MulticoloredHair hair]] [[hottip:*: Mine is red and brown, his is jet black. This skipped a generation - my grandfather was ginger]], height [[hottip:*:I was almost 6 feet tall by the time I got to high school; he was 4'9"]], and the specific details of our individual vision problems [[hottip:*:He's farsighted, I'm nearsighted]]. We're both avid readers and movie buffs, with similar taste in music (although I've always been willing to go heavier than him).

* GoToAlias: As noted elsewhere, Kyle Jacobs is actually one of these. I mostly use it on the internet and when I'm accosted by overly friendly drunk people. I'm also known to use Greg Smith.

** And as it's grown back, this has slammed back into effect.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: And frequently need to remind myself that I actually do.

* StripBuffer: I'm personally prone to bouts of extreme busyness, so I pretty much have to maintain one of these to avoid an enormous unplanned hiatus. [[ScheduleSlip Not that it helps all that much...]]

* TheShepherd: Not so much on this forum, but ''definitely'' on the Ultimate-Guitar.com boards under the name of [=FrustratedRocka=]. Unfortunately, my frequent association with a good 90% of the UG ResidentFreak population occasionally takes its toll on my ability to be nice.
--> '''Me''': tl;dr '''''GROW A PAIR.''''' [[hottip:Context:This followed a somewhat passive-aggressive rant against a bizarrely well-liked {{Hikkikomori}} arguing the merits of my DeterminedDefeatist tendencies that actually earned me a bit of respect from the other regulars.]]

I'm a student who's always had a passion for fiction - books, movies, whatever. I look for works that do something creative and show me something I've never seen before. So, when a girl I was dating told me she was into anime and manga and recommended that I start reading FullmetalAlchemist and watching {{Baccano}}, I got completely hooked. I've recently taken up a mild interest in tabletop gaming after reading Erfworld - the creativity required to think of the ending to book 1 made me look for a situation in which I'd have to exercise that kind of outside-the-box thinking for myself. These days, my downtime is spent serving as the film critic for my school paper, banging out short stories for a writer's club, managing the creation of a collaborative online rock opera, playing guitar and bass, running a Legend campaign, and dealing with school.

* GrammarNazi: I'm not that anal about it, but a really easy way to get me ticked is to screw up its/it's or say would/could/should of. Really, internet?

* FieryReadhead: [[MulticoloredHair Sort of]].

* RealMenWearPink: I believe this - not that I'd ever follow the trope name literally, but that's just because I don't think I look good in the color.

* GeekPhysiques: My arms are very, ''very'' skinny compared to the rest of my body.

* NoIndoorVoice: My regular speaking voice from 5 feet away measures roughly 88 db. For reference: A ''jackhammer'' is 90 db.

* EvilMeScaresMe: Some of my more... [[ExtremeMeleeRevenge visceral]] ideas get this reaction out of me.

* ManOfAThousandVoices: Let's see... I can do three distinct types of GutturalGrowler, the Gollum voice, the Stitch voice, Mr. Burns, Marge Simpson, [[RockyHorrorPictureShow Riff Raff]], three types of FakeBrit (Cockney and RP are solid, and I'm working on my Yorkshire), FakeRussian, a decent Southern drawl, a bad Scottish accent, an even worse Irish accent, BadassBaritone (although that one never gets any more subtle than your average BRIANBLESSED role), a decent impression of Spongebob, and a few more that aren't based on anything but my sheer desire to be annoying. This made me one of the go-to guys for reading dialogue in English class, at least until the incident detailed under SirSwearsALot happened.

My biggest project, however, is ''{{Remus}}'', a webcomic that aims to radically reimagine the way dystopian fiction is written. Never let it be said that I'm

* CursedWithAwesome: While having to manage my incredibly loud voice day to day is certainly annoying, my natural loudness means I don't have to work at all in order to project well while acting.

* ADarkerMe: Inverted. I'm actually ''nicer'' online than I am in real life, mostly because I have time to think through what I'm saying.

* BerserkButton: [[{{Geek}} Defective tech and/or badly written instructions]]. If I'm trying to do something, the instructions aren't working, I can't {{Macgyver|ing}} a solution, and other help is not forthcoming, I go from my usual laid-back NiceGuy self to being an impatient short-tempered {{Jerkass}} in 10 seconds flat.

* EvilLaugh: Mine isn't bad.

* GenerationXerox / IdenticalGrandson: My father's side of the family has some damn strong genes. [[BrownEyes Pretty]] [[CarpetOfVirility much]] [[GeekPhysiques every]] [[NoIndoorVoice single]] [[BadassBeard physical trait I have also appears on him. The exceptions are [[MulticoloredHair hair]] [[hottip:*: Mine is red and brown, his is jet black. This skipped a generation - my grandfather was ginger]], height [[hottip:*:I was almost 6 feet tall by the time I got to high school; he was 4'9"]], and the specific details of our individual vision problems [[hottip:*:He's farsighted, I'm nearsighted]].

* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Lack of athleticism? Check. Lack of aggression? Check... [[RageBreakingPoint up to a point]]. Open, emotional personality? CHECK (assuming I trust you enough to drop [[StepfordSmiler the act]]). Also, I'm very interested in cooking and people have a tendency to mistakenly assume I'm asexual.

* KillerGameMaster: Trying very hard not to be this, despite learning from a particularly nasty one. However, my relative inexperience may help me wind up as this anyway in an attempt not to go too far in [[MontyHaul the other direction]].

* AuthorAppeal: I tend to go with the [[FullmetalAlchemist Hiromu]] [[SilverSpoon Arakawa]] approach to character design:
--> '''Arakawa'''[[hottip:*:according to elsewhere on this wiki]]: Men should be buff! Women should be va-voom!
** Also, the following tropes show up frequently, less because I'm attracted to them and more because I find them extremely fun to write:
*** AxCrazy
*** BadassBeard
*** FragileSpeedster
*** KnifeNut
*** TheLadette
*** SlasherSmile
*** WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome

* StepfordSmiler: Recovered type 1. Fortunately, IGotBetter. My main reasoning was that I didn't think anyone would be able to help me out anyway, so it would be better not to burden them with worrying about me. That philosophy didn't work out all too well.

These days, I'm serving as the film critic for my school paper, writing and drawing a webcomic, banging out short stories for a writer's club, managing the creation of a collaborative online rock opera, playing guitar and bass, portraying a dog in a one act play, and dealing with school.

I'm a SerialTweaker, an [[TroperTypes Eclectic]], a proud member of {{PLATTER}}. I'm currently floating around Writers Block.

* GenerationXerox / IdenticalGrandson: My father's side of the family has some ''very'' strong genes. [[BrownEyes Pretty]] [[CarpetOfVirility much]] [[GeekPhysiques every]] single physical trait I have also appears on him. The exceptions are [[MulticoloredHair hair]] [[hottip:*: Mine is red and brown, his is jet black. This skipped a generation - my grandfather was ginger]], height [[hottip:*:I was almost 6 feet tall by the time I got to high school; he was 4'9"]], and the specific details of our individual vision problems [[hottip:*:He's farsighted, I'm nearsighted]].
* HeCleansUpNicely: 90 percent of my wardrobe consists of T-shirts and jeans. The rest contains some very, very nice suits.
* IdiotHair: Not any more

* TheLoonie: I'm this in real life, but only when it's funny.

* ManOfAThousandVoices: Let's see... I can do three distinct types of GutturalGrowler, the Gollum voice, the Stitch voice, Mr. Burns, Marge Simpson, [[RockyHorrorPictureShow Riff Raff]], two types of FakeBrit (Cockney and RP), FakeRussian, a decent Southern drawl, a bad Scottish accent, an even worse Irish accent, BadassBaritone (although that one never gets any more subtle than your average BRIANBLESSED role), a decent impression of Spongebob, and a few more that aren't based on anything. This has made me one of the go-to guys for reading dialogue in English class.
** The cockney is currently getting a workout due to my casting as an old British mongrel in a one act play.

** This has actually gotten me in trouble once in a while when I accidentally let myself off the leash. Most notably, I translated the passage that gave us the name CountryMatters into modern English. While keeping the vulgarity level roughly the same. '''''[[TooDumbToLive While the teacher was present.]]'''''
* StartMyOwn: I'm teaching myself to draw due to the fact that a decent artist would charge more money per page than I make in a month.
* StepfordSmiler: Former type 1. Fortunately, IGotBetter. My main reasoning was that I didn't think anyone would be able to help me out anyway, so it would be better not to burden them with worrying about me. That philosophy didn't work out all too well.

** Especially not when they are all level one and are dealing with a level four barbarian. It's worth noting that this ''would'' have been balanced in their favor if not for the fact that they were trapped in a hallway.

* BerserkButton: If you want to see me completely abandon my usual laid-back personality, hand me something that doesn't do what it's supposed to. Faulty tech is pretty much the only thing reliably capable of pushing me into berserk rage.

* NightmareFetishist: Not to the extent of most, but I am fascinated by the macabre.

* NoodleIncident: At present, there is a full deck of playing cards glued to my ceiling. Not even I know why I decided to put them there.

* [[SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes Saw]] {{Oldboy}} [[SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes 12 Times]]: Because {{Casablanca}} demands my undivided attention, ApocalypseNow is too horrific, SchindlersList is too depressing, and I can never find my StarWars DVDs.

* RealNameAsAlias: Actually, I ''don't'' use this - Kyle Jacobs is a pen name that I took on in an attempt to balance my desire for privacy with the fact that people just aren't going to take "Remus, by [=FrustratedRocka=]" as seriously as they would with something that sounds like a real name on it.
