* TheAllegedCar: Vik has been in the butt end of this twice, once in his old VW Scirocco and once in his Aston Martin V8 Vantage.
** On his VW, as he was returning to the Insomnia 53 after deciding to pick up some of their merchandise,[[note]]The merchandise, which were Sidemen stickers, was accidentally sent to the wrong address. The house owner of that house turns out wasn't there on that particular day, so it got sent back to the depot[[/note]] he came across a narrow road and his car clipped the side of the road's curb. He thought it will be OK and kept driving, [[OhCrap only for the steering to slowly veer to the left and for the car to begin vibrating]], eventually forcing Vik to stop just in front of a bus stop. [[FromBadToWorse He later also found out that he somehow punctured the rear-left tire of the car]], even though he hit the curb on the front-left. Eventually, JJ, Ethan, Tobi, and Harry came to pick him up.
** In his Aston, he was going to the gym with JJ, Freezy, and Manny, when he decided to go home earlier than the other three so that he could start streaming ''How to Minecraft''. [[https://twitter.com/Vikkstar123/status/687022012968079360 As he inserts the key though, the car receives a command that says, "Key Error".]] He spends a good hour or so trying to fix the vehicle before finally giving up, eventually having to be picked up by JJ and driven home in his Lambo.
* BigNo: [[https://youtu.be/2ussT_Rh8Qg?t=12m52s Lets out a powerful one]] in ''Monopoly Plus'' when he rolls yet ''another'' double, juxtaposed with Ethan's loud laughing.
* BigOlEyebrows: You can tell just by looking at his image. One ''Cards Against Humanity'' card joked about this by saying Vik's eyebrows could make a man with alopecia (absence of hair in areas where it normally grows) happy, while a game of ''Pinturillo 2'' (an online ''Draw Something''/''Draw My Thing'' clone) ended with Ethan writing Vik's name then apologising to him as he began to draw his face, at which point everyone knew the word was "eyebrow".
* BoastfulRap: Has a tendency to ''[[PissTakeRap try]]'' to rap when he brags.
* BornUnlucky: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ussT_Rh8Qg Got fucked over particularly hard]] in a ''TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}} Plus'' game, where he kept on having so many bad consecutive rolls (almost all of them being doubles) that he lost his mind over the course of the game.
* BullyAndWimpPairing: When he's with [[LovableJock JJ]].
* ButtMonkey:
** Is probably one of the biggest whipping boys of the group (alongside Ethan and JJ), almost to the point where [[TheWoobie you feel bad for him]] (for example, the hashtag "#[=StopVikkAbuse=]").
** Often gets playfully abused by JJ.
** Of course, there was the "Vik's a pedophile and/or terrorist" {{Running Gag}}s.
* CarFu: Part of what makes Vik an effective "stabiliser" is because he is skilled at being able to ram other racers off-course with his vehicle, hindering the victim's progress.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** His current opener, "What is up guys, welcome to a brand new video, today..." The quote you see under his image was the previous one, in full as, "Hey guys, it's me, [[TitleDrop Vikkstar one-two-three]], and welcome to...", usually with a quick {{beat}} at the end of that introductory phrase.
** "Twice the wheels, twice the fastness!" -- Vik previously said this due to his belief that an ATV goes faster than a motorbike because it has double the wheels.
** "[[SuperPoweredAlterEgo Helmet Boy]] Origins!" -- Vik's ''GTA Online'' avatar usually wore a helmet, which he treats as if it gives [[MadeOfIron him durability powers]]. Vik would yell this phrase if he gets out of difficult situations in the game, or avoids being killed by another Sideman's actions. This has now fallen out of use.
** "Got 'im!" and "Or nah!" when he took out another player in a ''GTA'' race.
* CloudCuckooLander: Has a very active imagination, especially when Helmet Boy comes in.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: His ''GTA'' vehicle colour is race yellow. Previously, if it was an off-road vehicle race, he drove a {{purple|IsPowerful}} Nagasaki Blazer or Hot Rod Blazer.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: Vik has sacrificed some wins just for the sake of {{troll}}ing someone for [[ItAmusedMe his own amusement]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[https://youtu.be/oqABj4mtdJg?t=1h57m41s In Josh's podcast]], JJ predicted that Vik's diss track would have him banging with Indian tunes. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iHIka_IYc8 Guess how he did his diss track?]]
* HandicappedBadass: Despite having a ''broken collarbone'' at the start of 2018, he still manages to play very decent games in ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'', even winning a few of them.
* HiddenDepths:
** He's a skilled pianist and has uploaded several videos of just him playing the piano.
** Despite his reputation as TheLoad when it comes to football, he is unusually good at hitting crossbars, best shown in [[https://youtu.be/O1oGMX6lO10?t=102 the 2014 crossbar challenge video]] where he hits the crossbar on his ''first try'' and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZaKcUd1gKU Sidemen vs FaZe Crossbar Challenge video]] where he contributed to [[spoiler:the Sidemen's victory]] by hitting the crossbar ''twice''.
* InSeriesNickname: Is sometimes called "Ratskiv" (which is "Vikstar" backwards).
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Mundian To Bach Ke" by Punjabi artist Labh Janjua, but only as a RunningGag of referencing his Indian descent on the other Sidemen's videos and ''not'' within Vik's own videos.
* TheLoad:
** Often the one who fails to pull his own weight when it comes to real-life football videos. For example, in JJ's freekick challenge, the crowd of people standing by the goal literally dissipated when he first went to kick...''[[EpicFail and he still missed]]''. However, this makes it more of a sweet PetTheDog or ThrowTheDogABone moment when Vik actually succeeds.
** Surprisingly, he’s a more competent player than Callux, a friend of the Sidemen's who is much taller and older than him and as mentioned above, he has a knack for hitting crossbars in crossbar challenge videos.
* NoScope: Pulls off a very impressive ''720'' no scope (sure the target was only 15 meters but still) in a ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM76W16J4xw game]].
* PluckyComicRelief: Considering his status as the biggest PungeonMaster of the group.
* PungeonMaster: Has a penchant for cheesy puns more than any other Sideman. A lot of his puns are based around his name, such as his usernames in ''Cards Against Humanity'' games ("[=TwentyViksteen=]", "Vikktory_Chant", "[[Website/{{Kickstarter}} VikStarter]]", etc.) as well as his Instagram name "vikkstagram".
* RunningGag:
** [[CrossesTheLineTwice Being unpaid.]]
** Due to his playing ''Minecraft'', which has kids as a main demographic, Vik was often seen as a pedophile. This has since died off.
** Vik has also been seen as a terrorist. This has also died off.
** Being told to shut up whenever he spoke too much in a short period of time.
** Apparently, his parents are disappointed because he didn't become a doctor.
* TheRuntAtTheEnd: The other Sidemen are primarily ''FIFA'' [=YouTubers=] who each runs two channels. Vik, on the other hand, is more of a general [[LetsPlay Let's Player]] with a focus on ''Minecraft'' and FirstPersonShooters. He's also the only member of the Sidemen who is officially part of another, mostly unrelated group.
* TheSmartGuy: Vik is often the one to educate his fellow Sidemen in ''TabletopGame/CardsAgainstHumanity'' when they come across an unfamiliar term, such as RuleThirtyFour.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: It's Vik, not Vikk, although his channel is called [=Vikkstar123=]; he was planning on just using the name [=Vikstar123=], [[WhatCouldHaveBeen but it was already in use]].
* TakeThat: Towards drama in general where he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm-_dO7i-kQ&t=1m30s calls out people who do it.]]
* TokenMinority: He is the only Sideman who is Indian in descent, not white or Black, and he does not primarily play ''FIFA'' like the other Sidemen.
* {{Troll}}: He is the group's biggest troll to the point that he is known as the "stabiliser".
