[[folder: Freddy Focus]]
!!Freddy Focus

-->'''Concept:''' Focus

Head editor of the Daily Observer, Mentopolis’ city paper.

[[folder: Chief Tightass]]
!!Chief Tightass

-->'''Concept:''' Tightassery

Chief of police in Mentopolis. Has an understanding with Danny Fucks.

* DaChief: Head of Mentopolis’ police department.
* DirtyCop: Even without the dubious actions of his force (i.e. [[spoiler: enacting PoliceBrutality on a whole train of pain couriers from the scalp]]), his backhanders to Danny Fucks show that he qualifies as this.
* MyCard: Revealed to have one that he gives to Anastasia, which just says “[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Police]]”.

[[folder: Mark Bition]]
!!DA Mark “M” Bition

-->'''Concept:''' Ambition

The District Attorney of Mentopolis. Provides targets for The Fix.

* AmbitionIsEvil: He's the literal personification of Elias' ambition and is portrayed in an amoral light.
* AmoralAttorney: He has no qualms of using his power to ensure that his goals are met, whether it's hiring a hitman to eliminate anything that is deemed a distraction or [[spoiler:ordering Elias' pleasure centers to be shut down so that he can complete his work.]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Revealed to have been taken over by the Psychometer Key, which is using his position of power over Mentopolis to either bring Elias to heel or destroy Mentopolis entirely.]]
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: He believes that completing Elias' work will give Mentopolis the pleasure it needs for things to turn around, to the point where he [[spoiler:completely shut down Elias' pleasure centers in order to make him focus better.]] He is good at ignoring things that should be obvious to him - like that Elias is depressed because of his dogged commitment to his work ambitions or that there might be moral issues with Elias’ project - making it easy for other characters to convince him of things that he wants to be true.
* BigRedDevil: His character art has this as a motif, with his [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation bright red skin]], hair curls resembling horns and a tie that makes it look like he has a forked tail.
* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:He has banned the pleasure centers of the brain for distracting Elias from his work and blames them for getting in the Big Guys way and stopping the eventual dopamine rush of completing his project. He ignores that the only reason that Elias needs that rush so desperately is because Bition banned any sort of other joy.]]

-->'''Concept:''' Logic [[spoiler: The Freeze Response]]

* MayorPain: Of the incompetent variety, given his covering up of the Mentopolis’ sundry infrastructure failures as “planned maintenance”. Our heroes visiting his office to ask for his help results in him listing out all the ways things could go wrong rather than contributing anything constructive. [[spoiler: Reveals that he knows this incompetency is likely why he was elected, so that other powerful figures in Mentopolis can use him as a figurehead.]]
* ParalysisByAnalysis: Prone to overthinking a situation and listing out all the ways things could go wrong rather than coming up with a constructive conclusion. [[Justified, as he’s actually Elias’ Freeze response.]]

-->'''Mental Process:''' [[spoiler:Self Doubt]]

* BaitAndSwitch: In two different ways. When Hunch originally sees SD, he believes the hulking brute is the one he signed up to fight, until SD calls the reedy Dom Nuntz over. He also thinks that either SD or Dom is Elias’s fight instinct working under an alias. That's actually their trainer.

-->'''Mental Process:''' The Human

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: They are arguably one of the most varied and eccentric casts within the ''Dimension 20'' mythos, consisting of a way-too-curious private investigator, an impulsive heiress, a determined reporter, a salacious nightclub owner, a too-young newsie, and a gigantic hitman.

* AbnormalAllergies: Reveals he’s allergic to Sugah’s building, explaining his constant sneezing while on the job.

* MyCard: Revealed to have one that he gives to Anastasia, which just says [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin“The Police”.]]
