Specialization is a common trend in fiction. It allows the author to create an ensemble cast where every member of a team provides a specific function, and avoids role duplication. This character says "specialization is for insects!" Perhaps a character is a loner and needs to be able to do everything on their own. Perhaps everyone else is so useless, they had to take on all of the jobs. Perhaps they just have a wide variety of interests. May be a sign of a person with a checkered past, who has had to take on a lot of roles in their life, just to get by. Whatever the reason, this character has at least some skill in a wide variety of disciplines. Sometimes The Leader of a team may be a Jack-Of-All-Trades, with a good, basic grasp of the specialized skills possessed by the members of their team, allowing them to understand how to use each team member to their fullest potential. It could be argued that being good at everything is a form of specialization. While a jack-of-all character might not stand out, they are usually well-equipped to handle most situations and most opponents. It's their well-rounded nature that makes them so versatile allowing them to deal with almost anything or sub in for anyone at the last second. What if the opponent is really strong but not very fast? The jack-of-all can outpace them while being strong enough to do damage. What if the opponent is faster? Usually the jack-of-all is fast enough to defend against if not avoid their opponent's attacks and deal out more punishment in a war of attrition. Supertrope of Renaissance Man (where someone is exceptionally good at many things) and Master of None (where someone does poorly at a lot of things). A related trope found in Video Games and Tabletop Games is the Jack of All Stats, who has well-balanced stats, not skills. See also The Red Mage, Combo Platter Powers, and Power Copying. Do-Anything Robot may be a justification for this. Compare the Master of All, who is the best (or among the best) in practically everything. Contrast Min-Maxing, Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors, Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors, Crippling Overspecialization, Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training. For similar tropes related to specific fields, see Omnidisciplinary Lawyer, Do-Anything Soldier, and Omnidisciplinary Scientist. In the binary of Quantity vs. Quality, this trope sides with quantity. |

Playing with Fire | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_1cc9f5e5 | comment |
Asuma Sarutobi has near-perfect ninjutsu and taijutsu, as well as near-perfect speed and strength. This gives him many options in battle, from Katons that explode by blowing gunpowder ash onto a target, charging his trench knives with Futon, to his long ranged Futon. His taijutsu also allows him to last long against stronger opponents such as Kisame or Hidan without being overwhelmed. And against weaker ninja, such as Sound Ninja, he can kill nine of them before his cigarette hits the ground. | |

Most members of the military. Soldiers are trained with an "expect to fight" mentality, and everyone from clerks to medics to cooks are held to the same physical standard and trained to fight. While some organizations (notably the United States Marine Corps) are very proud of placing special emphasis on this, any military worthy of the name will adhere to the basics of the concept. A special mention goes to Senior Infantry NCOs, such as the 0369, in the US Marines. While they are usually experts in one “field� of the Infantry (Rifleman, Mortars, Machine Gunners, etc) they are expected to have enough knowledge of every field to be able to act as the platoon sergeant for just about every type of unit, from a rifle platoon to a CAAT. |

Master of None | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_2804d516 | comment |
SLR and similar cameras where the frontal element (lens) is interchangeable. Especially on the former you can find for them from ultra-wide angle ("fish eye") lenses to powerful telephoto lenses or those designed for close-up photography, as well as for less common usages. Modern bridge cameras with their powerful zooms, where you've from a (often quite so) wide angle to an also (often more than respectable) telephoto lens in a single, non-interchangeable lens, count too even if the latter are rather Master of None as most of them are have small sensorsnote Otherwise those superzooms would be huge and far more expensive, which introduce noise on the higher ISO sensitivies and said zooms, even if they're a marvel of engineering, give worse image quality than fixed, non-zoom, equivalent lenses. | |

Absurdly Powerful Student Council | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_3eae625 | comment |
Hinagiku Katsura is this as well. She's just as hard-working as Hayate and has acquired a similarly expansive skill set that includes being highly skilled at household chores, an amazing cook that can even impress Hayate, having the best grades in the school, being good at every sport, almost always knowing whatever bit of knowledge other characters are asking for, excelling at the (surprisingly complex and important) paperwork for the academy's Absurdly Powerful Student Council, being the other go-to character for help in any situation, and even working part-time job at the same cafe as Hayate and fighting random demons/monsters in her spare time as an 'Ally of Justice passing through'. Unlike Hayate, she's actually completely specialized in combat as a kendo specialist, though it's hardly a problem since she can summon a magic sword at will so she is never unarmed. But don't doubt the awesome power of her unarmed punches when she's angry... | |

Then there is Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage, who played a major role in both Asuma's and Jiraiya's development (being the former's father and the latter's sensei). He himself is such a good example, it's the primary reason for the In-Universe mythos surrounding him as "The Professor". He had at least some chakra affinity for all five elements as well as both yin and yang, and as such could use all non-bloodline techniques. And was reputed to be proficient in every such jutsu known to Konoha. | |

As incorruptible representatives of the Crown, the Heralds are the glue that binds the Kingdom of Valdemar together. The typical Herald spends much of his or her life riding circuit among the more distant towns and villages. At any time they must be prepared to act as sheriff, judge, engineer, scout, healer, fighter, diplomat, and many other roles. To prepare them for this life, young Heralds takes classes in law, history, riding, combat, survival techniques, magic, field medicine, and politics, on top of basic literacy and mathematics. The idea is not to make them exceptional in all of these fields, but to make them at least somewhat capable of dealing with any problem they encounter, since most Heralds work alone. The stress of all this studying is one reason why only people who want to be Heralds can become Heralds: anyone conscripted into that sort of life would rebel. | |

In Burning Brightly, Herald Pol is a different kind of jack-of-all-trades. He has a touch of every mind-magic Gift, which makes him an excellent basic teacher for all of them. He's kept full-time at the Collegium for this reason alone; if a young Mindspeaker or Firestarter arrives unexpectedly, Pol can teach them enough of the basics to keep everyone safe until a specialist teacher in that Gift can be sent for. He'll never surpass his students, but the work he does is vital. | |

Supreme Chef | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_6bccf2ba | comment |
Deconstructed with Chiaki, the protagonist of The Life Changing Manga of Tidying Up. She has a history of ex-boyfriends with different interests—pottery, skiing, and music, to name a few—that she had also developed herself. Being unable to let them go and insisting she will pick back up on the various interests someday, she finds her small apartment is cluttered with junk. It's not until Marie Kondo gives Chiaki her first assignment in the decluttering process when she learns her main passion is culinary arts, and in the end she is happy with just that interest. | |

Magic A Is Magic A | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_6c3d1777 | comment |
Pinkie Pie is capable of pulling off things that should be impossible even in the settings established rules about magic, including near-literal teleportation, flight by spinning her tail, climbing walls like Spider-Man, and access to Hammerspace. Typically it's reserved for cartoonish gags, but more than a few times she's done something that's not only advanced the plot, but also been noticed by the other characters, and even done things that have weirded out Discord. A common joke (though one often used with a hint of seriousness) is that she's another (albeit less powerful) spirit of chaos. | |

Idol Singer | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_78c61d79 | comment |
The title butler is himself an excellent example. He can clean anything, cook like a gourmet with anything available, appear out of nowhere whenever and wherever he is needed, and has such a huge array of odd-job abilities that he is constantly getting roped into helping the other characters, whether it be helping Saki with her shop's finances, being a health manager for the local Idol Singer, helping Ashibashi-sensei finish his manga manuscript for the weekly deadline, work part-time in a cafe (as both waiter and cook), and even has shadier skills such as being an expert at cheating in Mahjong due to desperate need for money growing up. In combat he is shown to use damn near anything as a weapon, including being skilled in both various martial arts and even firearms, however he actually does have a specialty: he is trained as a Master Swordsman since childhood. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_9aaf8eca | comment |
Inverted with the Dark Angels; as the first legion, they were originally intended to be the jack of all trades legion while the other legions took on specializations. But because the primarchs were all scattered to the stars and the Ultramarines and Luna Wolves (who would eventually become the Black Legion) primarchs being discovered first, their original purpose was usurped. The Dark Angels Primarch tried to regain this title by giving each company a specialization, but that instead got them lumped into Crippling Overspecialization territory at best, Master of None at worst instead. | |

The Ultramarines pride themselves on how well rounded and versatile they are. Lacking the specialization and talent of other chapters but making up for with their ability to employ any tactic. Their Primarch was known for this as well, being second best to his brothers in their chosen fields, but most competent overall. The one thing they really excel at above all others is logistics. | |

| Jack of All Trades / int_a9ea3c3c | comment |
Also in 5E, Clerics of the Knowledge Domain can learn bonus skills and languages, and their Channel Divinity grants you proficiency with any skill or tool for 10 minutes. This makes them incredibly versatile and they can give many Bards a run for their money in the skillset department while also being... well, Clerics. | |

Rollerblade Good | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_acc265c6 | comment |
Her sister Antimony has all the usual cryptozoologist skills, plus roller blading, knife throwing, trapeze, and pyrokinesis. And she's also been a Double Reverse Quadruple Agent. | |

Ranger | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_b1ed00fa | comment |
In earlier editions the Ranger class could be considered this, being a warrior and skilled tracker who could attract monstrous companions and learn a smattering of two types of magic. | |

Summon Magic | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_b9085a47 | comment |
Hiruzen's personal summon, Monkey King Enma, is also an example. Being human-sized rather than a Kaiju he can't cause sheer area-of-effect damage that other top-level summons can, but makes up for it by being more agile and a much smaller target. And compared to other summons of his own size, Enma is much stronger given his demonstrated ability to fight a pair of the strongest ninja of all time hand-to-hand, all by himself. | |

The Bard has above-average skill points (including a number of rare skills like Speak Language and Use Magic Device) and decent combat ability, can provide Status Buffs to those who see them perform, and has a diverse set of spells ranging from healing to illusions to sonic attacks. | |

Magical Eye | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_ca3de41e | comment |
Users of the Rinnegan are capable of using all five basic elemental jutsu naturally, but Pain goes an extra mile: with his 6 remote bodies, he can share the view of the bodies' eyes with each other, manipulate gravity in a wide scale, summon gigantic powerful creatures, go all blast-y, absorb any chakra attacks coming at him, read people's minds and take souls, and revive his bodies should any of them die. | |

Clever Crows | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_ce3f50f0 | comment |
Ravens and crows tend to be this. They have very general purpose beaks and are the most intelligent of all birds. They are highly adaptable and can eat many things. | |

Lightning Bruiser | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_db6230b7 | comment |
If you train everything, you end up being a Lightning Bruiser Magic Knight who knows something about everything, can fix anything and can kill anything that bleeds (and some things that don't). | |

Job System | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_dbc1f807 | comment |
Referenced in the English localizations of titles that include a Job System (starting with Dragon Quest IX and retroactively adopted in prior games via remakes). Vocations are changed at the Alltrades Abbey, headed by Abbot Jack (or in VII where the Abbey is led by a woman, High Priestess Jacqueline). Yes, they went with the Punny Name Jack (or Jacq) of Alltrades. In IX specifically, Jack suffers Demonic Possession early on and transforms into a giant demon, identifying himself as (sigh) the Master of Nu'un. | |

Video Review Show | |

Unlike most internet reviewers, The Necro Critic openly claims no specialties for the topics of his episodes. He covers anime, movies, video games, TV shows, "whatever strikes [his] fancy". | |

Duct Tape for Everything | |
| Jack of All Trades / int_ed3e90f3 | comment |
Duct tape has been described as this, specifically by Jamie Hyneman: He, Adam Savage, and the Build Team tested it in dozens of different situations (making a bridge, patching a plane's fuselage, holding a car together, etc.) and found that it worked at least decently in all but a very small handful of them. |
