Character Discussion

Hello again, my lovely Dorks & Dweebs, today our Daily Discussion is kicking off installment #1 of Character Discussions, which would feel absolutely silly if Repentance had only added 2. Luckily, Repentance rewarded us greedy little bastards with 19 new characters to delve into, so don't worry, we'll have discussions a-plenty. Little housekeeping: currently plan is Item Discussions Mon–Thurs, other stuff Fri–Sun. If any of y'all have a better ideas or just want to tell me I suck (which, fair), let me know.

And now, for Character Discussion #1, but...I'm feeling something that borders on deja vu? Haven't we...talked about these guys before? No, must be my mind playing tricks on me. I'm sure I'd discussing something as ~ polarizing ~ as these lovely lads. And gosh, they're nothing if not polarizing—I've removed many a lazily-written rage post on here ranting about how Impossible™ these are, how Unfun™, how Horribly Designed™, the list goes on.^{^{^{^get}}} ^{^{^{^good}}} ^{^{^{^lol}}}

Whether you love 'em or hate 'em, ~~what would you rate 'em~~ these little bastards are, at the very least, interesting. Plus, they have some of the sickest unlocks in the game—Magic Skin, Genesis, Birthright, Damocles, Stairway, Red Stew, Rock Bottom. I mean, what don't these guys have going for 'em? Jacob & Esau—let's get discussing, baby!

Jacob & Esau

Health: 3 Red Hearts | 1 Red Heart, 1 Soul Heart

Character Attributes: These two brothers are controlled simultaneously, though still function as separate "characters", having separate stats, items, picks, health, the whole 9 yards. If either brother dies, it's game over—and, if you die in the game, you die in real life (probably, still trying to understand how these "video game" things work) 🕶
