* {{Narcissist}}: Jace, big time. In order for a person to be professionally diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the symptoms. As shown below, Jace meets ''all'' of them:
** [[SmallNameBigEgo Has a grandiose sense of self-importance]] (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements).
*** Jace has regularly exaggerated or outright fabricated stories of accomplishments and feats from his life in order to appeal to others; the greatest example being him claiming to go to Boot Camp while he was actually sent to Jesus Camp during his disappearance. He also expects to be recognized as superior status due to being a Marine, despite the fact that [[PhonyVeteran he's never served in any branch of the armed forces]].
** Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
*** Tiberius Rising is his fantasy, and he is even brazen enough to publish it.
** Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions).
*** Jace believes he is a Marine, often refers to many of his friends (real or imagined) as "Marines", and often refers to people who don't appreciate him as "civvies".
** Requires excessive admiration.
*** Pretty much the whole point of the "Press 1" thing.
** Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations.
*** "I deserve" is a phrase you'll hear Jace using a lot - particularly on Fact Zone, and Jace will get very angry if circumstances do not match his ideal fantasy, such as when his character dies in a video game, he will dismiss it as "unrealistic" as the game did not comply to his expectation. Furthermore, he will demand favorable treatment to the point of pushing people aside while proclaiming "Excuse me, Marine coming through!"
** Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends.
*** See Operation Tupacalypse; to a lesser extent, the rest of Deagle Nation can be included in this as well; Jace admits in the The End of Deagle Nation video that many of his real-life friends abandoned him after he demanded too much from them during the Civil War of Deagle Nation.
** [[LackOfEmpathy Lacks empathy]], e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.
*** This is less true than the rest of the symptoms, but one possible example is Jace ignoring Eli's needs, wants, and even basic safety during Operation Tupacalypse, as well as his interactions with his mother.
** Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her.
*** Jace often uses the "You're just jealous" line.
** Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.
*** Jace is arrogant if nothing else; his general demeanor of Fact Zone is the clearest example, especially whenever other callers challenge his beliefs.

Following a revelation on Jace's true identity, it came to pass that everything that had transpired during the series was [[FauxDocumentary staged]] for the purpose of satire.
To say that Deagle Nation is absurd doesn't even began to describe the sheer insanity it frequently conveys. From Jace's long-winded rants about his various conspiracy theories to [[ArchEnemy Tyce's]] exaltation of [[DemBones skeletons,]] Deagle Nation is something that has to be seen to be believed.
The Deagle Nation website can be found [[http://www.deaglenation.tv/ here]]. Many of the streams and videos are available on [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPH1sSxu3It51PuY3_gxSIw Jace's youtube channel]] as well as an archive channel known as the [[https://www.youtube.com/user/DeagleNationLibrary Deagle Nation War Library.]] Be warned though: the humor in Deagle Nation is always [[VulgarHumor crass,]] [[BlackComedy dark]], [[SurrealHumor surreal]], and [[CrossesTheLineTwice extremely audacious.]] Its very much a NSFW thing.
On August 18th 2015, Rankowski announced via Jace's Twitter that [[https://twitter.com/MusilmHunter/status/633681924242935813 Deagle Nation was over]].

!!"Press 1 for tropes, gamers!":
[[AudienceParticipation 11111111111]]
* AloofBigBrother: Jace's older brother Rob has never been seen or heard, but from what we know about him, he's [[WhiteSheep probably the most sane and normal member of the Connors clan]]. Unlike most other examples, Jace apparently does keep in contact with his brother on a somewhat regular basis and appears to have a good relationship with him, though we the audience have never seen him.
* AlternateRealityGame: Following Deagle Nation in full involved content on Tumblr, Twitter, the Deagle Nation website, message boards, YouTube videos, and livestreams on various streaming sites (some of them lost forever after the original transmission). Jace would also play online games while in-character, and not just during livestreams. He even maintained the Jace persona during private phone calls.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Jace believes this to be the case with Muslims.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Everyone, really, but Jace got the most speculation. He's shown signs of autism [[spoiler: (which his performer, Jan Rankowski, actually has)]], paranoid schizophrenia, narcissism, among other things.
* AmbiguouslyGay / AmbiguouslyBi: Among other things, Jace has "how to tell if your gay" [[EasterEgg in his Google search history]].
* ArmoredClosetGay: Possibly Jace. He's very homophobic, but, as mentioned above, "how to tell if your gay" could be seen in his Google search history.
* AudienceParticipation:
** Press 1!
** [[TalkShow Fact Zone]].
* AuthorAvatar: Jack Stryker is one for Jace. If you doubt this at all, Stryker is often accidentally referred to as "Jace."
* BadassDriver: What Jace wants you to believe he is. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYPC-YMdJFI ''STREET RACING GOD!'']]
* CheatCode: Jace is ''very'' fond of using cheats, especially in ''VideoGame/TheSims3''. He often abuses cheat codes to the point that his games experience extreme lag and glitches (a famous example being Soap the "wolf" randomly acquiring a boat and driving it away from Jace's burning house in ''The Sims 3''. Ironically, [[{{Hypocrite}} Jace claims to not believe in cheating at video games, as he deems it "unrealistic."]]
* CombatParkour: Jace believes that parkour is a legitimate martial arts discipline that is actually practiced by the armed forces.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Jace's brother persuaded him to start doing [[LetsPlay longplays]] instead of livestreams, removing most of the risks in Jace interacting with a live audience. This was rendered futile by Jace choosing to do the longplays live.
* ContinuityNod: "You will 9/11" was a troll message that caused a strong reaction in Jace. During the 9/11 2014 Awareness Livestream, Jace's Skype name was [=YouWont911=].
* CoolCar: The Race War Van, or in Jace's words: ''A highly armed and/or dangerous vehicle of HATE!''
* CoolShades: Most members of Deagle Nation wear sunglasses a lot, though the actual coolness factor is questionable at best.
* CoolOldLady: Well, not ''old'' but older. [[spoiler: Gail is one in RealLife.]]
* CreatorBreakdown: A few in-universe examples. Jace has had several breakdowns while streaming. The two most well-known would probably be the time he broke down crying after killing his dad in ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', and the time he wet himself after trying to do push-ups.
* CriticalResearchFailure[=/=]KnowNothingKnowItAll: Oh so many in-universe examples. For someone obsessed with the military and firearms, Jace shows a remarkable lack of knowledge about either. He has stated that:
** [[GunsAkimbo Dual-wielding firearms]] is a very effective method used by elite professionals and soldiers.
** Several of the events in ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' games actually happened in real life, which the government covered up by claiming they were fictional events in a video game.
** The Desert Eagle .50 AE handgun is a tactical sidearm used by United States armed forces.
** Despite the [=XM8=] being a prototype model that was cancelled in 2005, Jace reviewed as if it was a service rifle currently used by the United States Armed Forces in Afghanistan. At the time of filming, the Afghanistan war was winding down, and hardly any soldiers were deployed.
** The Army surplus store "[[http://www.armybarracks.com Army Barracks]]" is ''literally'' an Army barracks.
** Claiming you are going to join the Army in the future is "basically the same thing as being a Marine" and deserves the same level of respect.
** Being a "future Marine" is generally enough to get away with committing crimes.
** Soldiers are issued "Modkits": little boxes that contain a mod and the tools used to install it. He believes these kits contain items such as carbon fiber barrels, pistol grips, hair triggers, tree grips, and retractable stocks.
** Soldiers in the army get to choose their own weapons and gear, and are only permitted certain weapons based on their rank, similar to the character progression system in ''Call of Duty'' games. In reality, soldiers are maximally trained to use very specific gear that is fit for their role in the military organization. During the TESO Livestream someone asked Jace what rank they would have to be to "unlock" the Desert Eagle, to which he simply replied: "Corporal".
** One can become a Navy SEAL by joining the Army or Marines. He also uses the terms Marine, soldier, spec ops/special forces, and (for some reason) gamer interchangeably.
** It is common for snipers to smoke weed to stabilize their aim.
** That the American presence in the Iraq War is still ongoing.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Christ Zone is one for Gail. Her appearances previously had mainly been when she would interrupt Jace's streams to yell at him about something or other. During the Christ Zone stream, she co-hosted with him.
* DisappearedDad: Jace has one. Jace usually only refers to his dad as "Richard," rather than "Dad," and once created him in ''VideoGame/TheSims3'' to kill him, and then broke down crying when he did so.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Jace's older videos are very different from what he eventually became. Originally, he was a lot calmer, did not do livestreams, and spoke in a far less whiny voice.
** [[HarsherInHindsight But then the guy]] ''is'' [[HarsherInHindsight schizophrenic...]]
* FaceHeelTurn: Tyce, at least twice. The second one seemed to be permanent.
* ForWantOfANail: Jace leaving the in-game stove on in his ''VideoGame/TheSims3'' stream, causing his Sim's mansion to burn down and leading the Sim to live a life of escalating misery.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: The Thanksgiving stream ends with Jace, his paranoia intensified by a bad drug trip, thinking that his webcam is a spy camera and threatening to kidnap and torture the audience.
* TheFundamentalist: Jace's mother, Gail, is one.
* TheGhost:
** Tyce's Dad.
** Jace's dad and older brother.
** Gail's pastor, who preaches from the "Forgotten Bible," conducts sermons from his home, and occasionally participates in her interventions for Jace. He's known only as "Pastor Faggot."
* HeroWithAnFInGood: Jace sincerely wants to be a good guy. He just has some very delusional ideas about what a good guy is and what they can or can't do.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', Jace's gamer mansion has a 20 foot high wall around it to keep the "Team Gamerfood terrorists" out. This comes back to bite him in the ass when, after the house catches on fire, the firemen can't put the fire out because of the wall.
* InsaneTrollLogic:
** Most of Jace's schemes, such as the MICIS saga, in which a single article about Afghan army officers going AWOL led to him infesting Eli's cottage with (possibly Islamic and/or gay) mice.
** Tyce is even worse - in one case, he filled Jace's bathtub with Matchbox cars solely because Wrestling/SummerSlam was on.
* InsistentTerminology: In ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', Soap is Jack Stryker's ''wolf''. He's ''NOT'' a dog.
* KafkaKomedy: Anytime Jace plays ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', expect the life of his AuthorAvatar Jack Stryker to get even worse. Jack burns down his own house, loses everything he has, his girlfriend [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Meryl]] leaves him for a life of luxury with Wrestling/JohnCena, his [[strike: dog]] wolf hates him and becomes a stray, he loses all his friends, his birthday party is attended by one guy who only showed up to laugh at him and eat a piece of his cake, and when Jace tries to make him [[DrivenToSuicide kill himself]], Death revives him because his misery entertained him and everyone around him. This causes Jace to RageQuit and uninstall the game.
* {{Kayfabe}}: Even though it's no longer a secret that Jace isn't real, Jan continues to post videos and blog entries as him. Some of the fans play along. Some sites, such as the Kiwi Farms, even go as far as to hide any evidence that it was ever faked, to preserve the illusion. Appropriately, Jace, and to a lesser degree Tyce, are big wrestling fans.
* LetsPlay/TheKingOfHate: Jace is a big fan of [=DarkSydePhil=], whom he considers to be his favorite [=YouTuber=]. During one stream, Phil (or a troll posing as him) entered the chat and caused Jace to fangasm and gush, and when "Phil" claimed to be an anime fan, Jace started discussing his favorite animes, despite calling anime gay not ten minutes before.
* LeParkour: Jace is obsessed with parkour.
* LoonyFan: Jace is one of Wrestling/JohnCena. Sometimes it even seems to border on a CelebCrush. Much to Jace's chagrin, his AuthorAvatar once slept in the same bed as Cena in ''VideoGame/TheSims3''.
* LotusEaterMachine: In Weekly Livestream 19, Jace attempts to achieve immortality for Stryker in ''VideoGame/TheSims3''; the live audience in chat seemed to reach a consensus that this would cause Jace to stay in his Stryker fantasy permanently. The resulting chant of "Wake up, Jace" appeared to genuinely mess with Jace's head.
* MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOI2DDgLqqY This video]] can only be explained either by drug influence or a psychotic episode.
* MilesGloriosus: Jace vastly overstates his personal skills. That's to say nothing of how he views himself as being a marine.
* MistakenForGay:
** In the Cottage Livestream, Eli began to suspect Jace was gay. Jace put up a web poll asking "Is Jace gay?" The result was a landslide yes, causing him to RageQuit the stream.
** During the Christ Zone stream, Gail takes Jace's statement that Tyce is gay (meaning "stupid," in this case) literally.
* {{Narcissist}}: Jace, big time. In order for a person to be professionally diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the symptoms. As shown below, Jace meets ''all'' of them:
** [[SmallNameBigEgo Has a grandiose sense of self-importance]] (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements).
*** Jace has regularly exaggerated or outright fabricated stories of accomplishments and feats from his life in order to appeal to others; the greatest example being him claiming to go to Boot Camp while he was actually sent to Jesus Camp during his disappearance. He also expects to be recognized as superior status due to being a Marine, despite the fact that [[PhonyVeteran he's never served in any branch of the armed forces]].
** Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
*** Tiberius Rising is his fantasy, and he is even brazen enough to publish it.
** Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions).
*** Jace believes he is a Marine, often refers to many of his friends (real or imagined) as "Marines", and often refers to people who don't appreciate him as "civvies".
** Requires excessive admiration.
*** Pretty much the whole point of the "Press 1" thing.
** Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations.
*** "I deserve" is a phrase you'll hear Jace using a lot - particularly on Fact Zone, and Jace will get very angry if circumstances do not match his ideal fantasy, such as when his character dies in a video game, he will dismiss it as "unrealistic" as the game did not comply to his expectation. Furthermore, he will demand favorable treatment to the point of pushing people aside while proclaiming "Excuse me, Marine coming through!"
** Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends.
*** See Operation Tupacalypse; to a lesser extent, the rest of Deagle Nation can be included in this as well; Jace admits in the The End of Deagle Nation video that many of his real-life friends abandoned him after he demanded too much from them during the Civil War of Deagle Nation.
** [[LackOfEmpathy Lacks empathy]], e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.
*** This is less true than the rest of the symptoms, but one possible example is Jace ignoring Eli's needs, wants, and even basic safety during Operation Tupacalypse, as well as his interactions with his mother.
** Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her.
*** Jace often uses the "You're just jealous" line.
** Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.
*** Jace is arrogant if nothing else; his general demeanor of Fact Zone is the clearest example, especially whenever other callers challenge his beliefs.
* NeverMyFault: Jack Stryker's house in ''The Sims 3'' burns down because of terrorists hacking Jace's game, [[SarcasmMode and certainly not because Jace left the in-game stove on while doing something else]].
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Colby suffered one off-camera at the hands of Tyce and a guy named Brandon, and ended up with a dislocated shoulder. Tyce suffered one ''on-camera'' at the hands of Jace and Eli.
* NobleWolf: [[VideoGame/CallOfDuty Soap]] the Parkour Wolf, a character in Jace's self-insert novel ''Tyberius Rising''.
* OnlySaneMan:
** Possibly Colby, who at least had the sense to get out of Deagle Nation when things started getting really crazy.
** Regular caller [[DeadpanSnarker Matt AKA [=FlyAwayN0w=]]], who attempted to force logic upon Jace's delusions with near-infinite patience.
** Jace's brother, Rob, seems to be this trope as well judging from what we can understand of him based upon what Jace has told us.
* ParentalIncest: During Christ Zone, Jace accidentally stumbles on incest porn when he enters "screw mom" into Google.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: All of the boys show some degree of enjoyment for "ghetto" culture and mannerisms, and Jace and Tyce both rap. Ironically, Tyce displays the most of this despite being heavily racist against black people.
* RageQuit: Happens with almost every game Jace plays, but especially likely with ''VideoGame/TheSims3''.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
** The infamous car accident video was filmed after Jan legitimately ''did'' get into a car wreck.
** Jace's stay in Jesus Camp (which resulted in about a month of inactivity) was due to the creators getting bored with doing the bit and taking a break.
** The current (as of May, 2015) lack of content is said to be due to Jan experiencing medical difficulties relating to the aforementioned car wreck.
* {{Running Gag}}:
** Jace vomiting at inopportune moments.
** Jace and Eli both keep mentioning ''Judge Judy''.
** Jace mangling the title of Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddys.
** Tyce mentioning skeletons or how the media dislikes them.
* RedPillBluePill: The Kiwi Farms chose to take a Blue Pill approach to the revelation that Deagle Nation was staged - all discussion of the staging was moved to a hidden forum, Jan Rankowski's name was [[FunWithAutocensors changed via autocensor]] to [=[REDACTED]=], and they currently claim that Rankowski was an SJW anti-gaming activist looking to smear Jace Connors' good name.
* SeasonFinale: The climax of Tupacalypse played out (suspiciously) like this. Jace is trying to pick up Eli from the airport when he's cornered at the Weed Cottage by Tyce.
* SecurityBlanket: Jace's John Cena action figure acts as one sometimes. A notable example would be when he puts the figure in his shirt pocket while playing ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' and speaks in character as Cena to tell himself that there's nothing to be afraid of. His airsoft "deagle" also acts as a security blanket of sorts. Jace will brandish it when he feels threatened.
* ShoutOut: Some shout-outs to other "lolcows" (eccentric individuals noted for bizarre, entertaining behavior) exist, as their lives and internet presence seem to be a partial inspiration for Deagle Nation:
** Eli [[{{Squick}} drinking his own semen to "recycle" it]] is a reference to ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' creator Christian Weston Chandler.
** Jace's mannerisms bear some similarities to [[LetsPlay/TheKingOfHate DarkSydePhil]]. As mentioned above, Jace even admits to being a fan of Phil's.
* SinisterScythe: Attempted with Jace's homemade [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNH21tmi5Rg ''tactical scythe,'']] a bread knife taped to the end of a stick that Jace used to take down a few milk cartons.
* TheStarscream: Tyce constantly turns on Jace in an effort to become the leader of Deagle Nation. His treachery is usually ferreted out quickly, though not fast enough to contain the damage.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Tyce. While Jace had a very warped understanding of what a hero does, Tyce was never interested in anything other than petty crime and substance abuse.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Colby. He never appeared to be anything besides a dumb stoner, and became a fan favorite after he got really upset watching Tyce mistreat some live mice.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Jace often eats during his livestreams, but the most commonly-seen food is Cheez-Its. He is also fond of Mountain Dew and Monster Energy drinks, and once combined the two in a blender to create a "gamer cocktail" ([[EpicFail much of which ended up on his floor]]).
* UpToEleven: Operation Tupacalypse. Even compared to the rest of Jace's antics ''sending his friend to free Tupac from terrorists and kill the prime minister of Palestine'' was a bit extreme.
* VomitDiscretionShot: Jace has an undisclosed medical issue which causes him to frequently vomit during livestreams. However, he always manages to do it off-camera.
* WesternTerrorists: With a twist, because they're still Muslims. Jace believes the Steam griefing group Team Gamerfood to be a ''Domestic and Islamic trolling cult''.
* WhamEpisode:
** Nobody, absolutely nobody, believed Eli was really going to Israel in search of Tupac. Then he uploaded a video of himself walking the streets of Tel Aviv.
** Tyce and Jace decided to have a real fight and no one expected it to happen. It ''did''. Tyce got up in a ridiculous costume including a skeleton mask, a trench coat, two katanas, two sais, and couldn't actually draw any of his weapons before being tackled by Jace and Eli. They beat him with a pair of nunchukus and a skateboard respectively and stole $46 from his pocket.
* WouldHurtAChild: A known Team Gamerfood troll uploaded a (now deleted) video of two children, probably somewhere in the 8-12 age range, doing parkour. Jace took the video as a personal insult against himself [=and/or=] the entire discipline of parkour [=and/or=] the US armed forces, and threatened to "take [=[those kids]=] out with front push kicks and guillotine chokes."
* YourTomcatIsPregnant: Jace's "wolf" in ''The Sims 3'' is supposed to be male, but it has a litter of puppies.

[[caption-width-right:300:"Not just a gun, but a way of life"]]
->Deagle Nation is an illegal street gang of young adults handpicked, trained and groomed by Jace himself, all originating from the New England area. Its main demographics are stoners, Xbox gamers, skateboarders, Juggalos, and edgy teens from all walks of life. Imagine if all of the people you tried to avoid in high school got together and formed their own after-school club, led by the world's most autistic marine.

'''Deagle Nation''' is an elaborate web series created by Jan Rankowski of [[http://wizdumgun.com/ wizdumgun]] productions. The series follows the exploits of Jace Connors, an [[LoserProtagonist out-of-work, highly delusional dudebro]], and his band of similarly deranged comrades. Together, they found Deagle Nation, a gang allegedly dedicated to the ideals of gaming and the marine lifestyle. Needless to say, [[FailureHero Jace's]] many attempts at looking cool repeatedly fail, often going [[GoneHorriblyWrong catastrophically wrong]] and making [[CringeComedy him look ridiculous.]]
Noted for its convincing realism and its manic sense of humor, Deagle Nation has gained a cult following among a number of image boards such as [[https://kiwifar.ms/ The Kiwi Farms]] and 8chan. Its unflinching portrayal of its [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist frequently contemptible lead characters]] has been cited as being highly reminiscent of past web series such as TrueCapitalistRadio. Until recently, Deagle Nation was widely believed to have been genuine in its portrayal of its eccentric characters and their lifestyles. Following a revelation on Jace's true identity, it came to pass that everything that had transpired during the series was [[FauxDocumentary staged]] for the purpose of satire.
To say that Deagle Nation is absurd doesn't even began to describe the sheer insanity it frequently conveys. From Jace's long-winded rants about his various conspiracy theories to [[ArchEnemy Tyce's]] exaltation of [[DemBones skeletons,]] Deagle Nation is something that has to be seen to be believed.
The Deagle Nation website can be found [[http://www.deaglenation.tv/ here]]. Many of the streams and videos are available on [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPH1sSxu3It51PuY3_gxSIw Jace's youtube channel]] as well as an archive channel known as the [[https://www.youtube.com/user/DeagleNationLibrary Deagle Nation War Library.]] Be warned though: the humor in Deagle Nation is always [[VulgarHumor crass,]] [[BlackComedy dark]], [[SurrealHumor surreal]], and [[CrossesTheLineTwice extremely audacious.]] Its very much a NSFW thing.

Some sites, such as the Kiwi Farms, even go as far as to hide any evidence that it was ever faked, to preserve the illusion. Appropriately, Jace, and to a lesser degree Tyce, are big wrestling fans.
* LetsPlay/TheKingOfHate: Jace is a big fan of [=DarkSydePhil=], whom he considers to be his favorite [=YouTuber=]. During one stream, Phil (or a troll posing as him) entered the chat and caused Jace to fangasm and gush, and when "Phil" claimed to be an anime fan, Jace started discussing his favorite animes, despite calling anime gay not ten minutes before.
* LeParkour: Jace is obsessed with parkour.
* LoonyFan: Jace is one of Wrestling/JohnCena. Sometimes it even seems to border on a CelebCrush. Much to Jace's chagrin, his AuthorAvatar once slept in the same bed as Cena in ''VideoGame/TheSims3''.
* LotusEaterMachine: In Weekly Livestream 19, Jace attempts to achieve immortality for Stryker in ''VideoGame/TheSims3''; the live audience in chat seemed to reach a consensus that this would cause Jace to stay in his Stryker fantasy permanently. The resulting chant of "Wake up, Jace" appeared to genuinely mess with Jace's head.
* MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOI2DDgLqqY This video]] can only be explained either by drug influence or a psychotic episode.
* MilesGloriosus: Jace vastly overstates his personal skills. That's to say nothing of how he views himself as being a marine.
* MistakenForGay:
** In the Cottage Livestream, Eli began to suspect Jace was gay. Jace put up a web poll asking "Is Jace gay?" The result was a landslide yes, causing him to RageQuit the stream.
** During the Christ Zone stream, Gail takes Jace's statement that Tyce is gay (meaning "stupid," in this case) literally.
* {{Narcissist}}: Jace, big time. In order for a person to be professionally diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the symptoms. As shown below, Jace meets ''all'' of them:
** [[SmallNameBigEgo Has a grandiose sense of self-importance]] (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements).
*** Jace has regularly exaggerated or outright fabricated stories of accomplishments and feats from his life in order to appeal to others; the greatest example being him claiming to go to Boot Camp while he was actually sent to Jesus Camp during his disappearance. He also expects to be recognized as superior status due to being a Marine, despite the fact that [[PhonyVeteran he's never served in any branch of the armed forces]].
** Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
*** Tiberius Rising is his fantasy, and he is even brazen enough to publish it.
** Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions).
*** Jace believes he is a Marine, often refers to many of his friends (real or imagined) as "Marines", and often refers to people who don't appreciate him as "civvies".
** Requires excessive admiration.
*** Pretty much the whole point of the "Press 1" thing.
** Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations.
*** "I deserve" is a phrase you'll hear Jace using a lot - particularly on Fact Zone, and Jace will get very angry if circumstances do not match his ideal fantasy, such as when his character dies in a video game, he will dismiss it as "unrealistic" as the game did not comply to his expectation. Furthermore, he will demand favorable treatment to the point of pushing people aside while proclaiming "Excuse me, Marine coming through!"
** Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends.
*** See Operation Tupacalypse; to a lesser extent, the rest of Deagle Nation can be included in this as well; Jace admits in the The End of Deagle Nation video that many of his real-life friends abandoned him after he demanded too much from them during the Civil War of Deagle Nation.
** [[LackOfEmpathy Lacks empathy]], e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.
*** This is less true than the rest of the symptoms, but one possible example is Jace ignoring Eli's needs, wants, and even basic safety during Operation Tupacalypse, as well as his interactions with his mother.
** Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her.
*** Jace often uses the "You're just jealous" line.
** Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.
*** Jace is arrogant if nothing else; his general demeanor of Fact Zone is the clearest example, especially whenever other callers challenge his beliefs.
* NeverMyFault: Jack Stryker's house in ''The Sims 3'' burns down because of terrorists hacking Jace's game, [[SarcasmMode and certainly not because Jace left the in-game stove on while doing something else]].
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Colby suffered one off-camera at the hands of Tyce and a guy named Brandon, and ended up with a dislocated shoulder. Tyce suffered one ''on-camera'' at the hands of Jace and Eli.
* NobleWolf: [[VideoGame/CallOfDuty Soap]] the Parkour Wolf, a character in Jace's self-insert novel ''Tyberius Rising''.
* OnlySaneMan:
** Possibly Colby, who at least had the sense to get out of Deagle Nation when things started getting really crazy.
** Regular caller [[DeadpanSnarker Matt AKA [=FlyAwayN0w=]]], who attempted to force logic upon Jace's delusions with near-infinite patience.
** Jace's brother, Rob, seems to be this trope as well judging from what we can understand of him based upon what Jace has told us.
* ParentalIncest: During Christ Zone, Jace accidentally stumbles on incest porn when he enters "screw mom" into Google.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: All of the boys show some degree of enjoyment for "ghetto" culture and mannerisms, and Jace and Tyce both rap. Ironically, Tyce displays the most of this despite being heavily racist against black people.
* RageQuit: Happens with almost every game Jace plays, but especially likely with ''VideoGame/TheSims3''.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
** The infamous car accident video was filmed after Jan legitimately ''did'' get into a car wreck.
** Jace's stay in Jesus Camp (which resulted in about a month of inactivity) was due to the creators getting bored with doing the bit and taking a break.
** The current (as of May, 2015) lack of content is said to be due to Jan experiencing medical difficulties relating to the aforementioned car wreck.
* {{Running Gag}}:
** Jace vomiting at inopportune moments.
** Jace and Eli both keep mentioning ''Judge Judy''.
** Jace mangling the title of Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddys.
** Tyce mentioning skeletons or how the media dislikes them.
* RedPillBluePill: The Kiwi Farms chose to take a Blue Pill approach to the revelation that Deagle Nation was staged - all discussion of the staging was moved to a hidden forum, Jan Rankowski's name was [[FunWithAutocensors changed via autocensor]] to [=[REDACTED]=], and they currently claim that Rankowski was an SJW anti-gaming activist looking to smear Jace Connors' good name.
* SeasonFinale: The climax of Tupacalypse played out (suspiciously) like this. Jace is trying to pick up Eli from the airport when he's cornered at the Weed Cottage by Tyce.
* SecurityBlanket: Jace's John Cena action figure acts as one sometimes. A notable example would be when he puts the figure in his shirt pocket while playing ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' and speaks in character as Cena to tell himself that there's nothing to be afraid of. His airsoft "deagle" also acts as a security blanket of sorts. Jace will brandish it when he feels threatened.
* ShoutOut: Some shout-outs to other "lolcows" (eccentric individuals noted for bizarre, entertaining behavior) exist, as their lives and internet presence seem to be a partial inspiration for Deagle Nation:
** Eli [[{{Squick}} drinking his own semen to "recycle" it]] is a reference to ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' creator Christian Weston Chandler.
** Jace's mannerisms bear some similarities to [[LetsPlay/TheKingOfHate DarkSydePhil]]. As mentioned above, Jace even admits to being a fan of Phil's.
* SinisterScythe: Attempted with Jace's homemade [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNH21tmi5Rg ''tactical scythe,'']] a bread knife taped to the end of a stick that Jace used to take down a few milk cartons.
* TheStarscream: Tyce constantly turns on Jace in an effort to become the leader of Deagle Nation. His treachery is usually ferreted out quickly, though not fast enough to contain the damage.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Tyce. While Jace had a very warped understanding of what a hero does, Tyce was never interested in anything other than petty crime and substance abuse.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Colby. He never appeared to be anything besides a dumb stoner, and became a fan favorite after he got really upset watching Tyce mistreat some live mice.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Jace often eats during his livestreams, but the most commonly-seen food is Cheez-Its. He is also fond of Mountain Dew and Monster Energy drinks, and once combined the two in a blender to create a "gamer cocktail" ([[EpicFail much of which ended up on his floor]]).
* UpToEleven: Operation Tupacalypse. Even compared to the rest of Jace's antics ''sending his friend to free Tupac from terrorists and kill the prime minister of Palestine'' was a bit extreme.
* VomitDiscretionShot: Jace has an undisclosed medical issue which causes him to frequently vomit during livestreams. However, he always manages to do it off-camera.
* WesternTerrorists: With a twist, because they're still Muslims. Jace believes the Steam griefing group Team Gamerfood to be a ''Domestic and Islamic trolling cult''.
* WhamEpisode:
** Nobody, absolutely nobody, believed Eli was really going to Israel in search of Tupac. Then he uploaded a video of himself walking the streets of Tel Aviv.
** Tyce and Jace decided to have a real fight and no one expected it to happen. It ''did''. Tyce got up in a ridiculous costume including a skeleton mask, a trench coat, two katanas, two sais, and couldn't actually draw any of his weapons before being tackled by Jace and Eli. They beat him with a pair of nunchukus and a skateboard respectively and stole $46 from his pocket.
* WouldHurtAChild: A known Team Gamerfood troll uploaded a (now deleted) video of two children, probably somewhere in the 8-12 age range, doing parkour. Jace took the video as a personal insult against himself [=and/or=] the entire discipline of parkour [=and/or=] the US armed forces, and threatened to "take [=[those kids]=] out with front push kicks and guillotine chokes."
* YourTomcatIsPregnant: Jace's "wolf" in ''The Sims 3'' is supposed to be male, but it has a litter of puppies.
