History Characters / SnowbreakContainmentZone

Yggdrasil is a multinational conglomerate involved in a number of industries, including AI, robotics, biopharmaseuticals, and entertainment. It was they that produced the Baldr Inhibitors that could treat Juvenile Cystalosis, expanding their influence worldwide. They also launched the Valkyrie Games, which became the dominant force in entertainment, and eventually created the Containment Zone and Heimdall to battle the Titans. But as with any corporate powerhouse, any actions it takes is couched in dubious intentions and hidden purposes.

* HuntingTheMostDangerousgame: They treat Containment Zone Aleph as their personal safari, though they're too cowardly to do anything except bully the helpless.

* Dirty Coward: They're happy enough to open fire on unarmed civilians, but they scatter like rats when Heimdall comes for them.

* WeAreStrugglingTogether: The Coyotes are made up of multiple smaller gangs, and they don't all get along, in Nita's words. While Heimdall is tracking down the whereabouts of the stolen Brisingamen, Joseph is quick to argue that it could have been any other Coyote gang responsible (though the Adjutant is also retorts that only Ye's group has the technical know-how to pull off the theft).

* DrivingQuestion: What was his mission to Mistilteinn Station? Why did he lose his memories of everything that happened? Why is is getting visions specifically of the Younger Sister?

* CorporateSamurai: He was one as Director of Security, and even as Adjutant basically serves as Director &#120591's agent. While he has a sense of morality, he's also driven by a need to stay on Yggdrasil's good side and toe the company line. He retrieves items of value because they're company property, end of story.

* AmbigiouslyEvil: While Heimdall and the Adjutant work for them, they're obviously not squeaky clean. Their actions speak of ''controlling'' the Containment Zone, not improving life there, and many of the Adjutant's missions involve retrieving various items because they're company property, nothing more and nothing less.

* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler:The Younger Sister is actually 𝜏's daughter, but 𝜏's divorced her husband and subsequently all but forgot about her children, leaving them to fend for themselves up until the girl's death after the First Descent.]]

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Whatever size they take, it is big. Even the smallest are the size of a truck, while Ymir is the size of a sky scraper.

* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler:The Younger Sister is actually Tau's daughter, but Tau divorced her husband and subsequently all but forgot about her children, leaving them to fend for themselves up until the girl's death after the First Descent.]]

* LighterShadeOfBlack: He seems to believe in the positive messages of the Adventists, as an organization that looks after those with Juvosis. He comes into conflict with Heimdall simply because he needs Baldr Inhibitors for his charges.

!!!The Light Chasers
[[folder:In General]]
[[quoteright:378:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lightchaserlogo_5.png]]
[[caption-width-right:378:''"The viewers on the livestreams clearly don't have any problem with the "Hunts". Do you know how many followers we picked up during a single Hunt? Half a million!"'']]

At best charitably described as "spoiled brats", the Light Chasers are the children of Yggdrasil's higher ups. Despite their pledge to "seek brilliance", they ultimately use the company's resources and connections to indulge in violence, with the Containment Zone their sandcastle, and the populace within the unfortunate toys.

* AristocratsAreEvil: As children of corporate leaders, they're basically the new aristocracy of ''Snowbreak''. Unfortunately, any ''noblesse oblige'' they have is the obligation to kill their lessers for sport.
* BadInfluencer: They delight in livestreaming their attacks on Scavengers, an unfortunately they seem to have an audience for it.
* BlueIsHeroic: Subverted. Despite choosing a heroic shade of blue as their faction color, they're clearly anything but enlightened warriors or heroes.
* Dirty Coward: They're happy enough to open fire on unarmed civilians, but they scatter like rats when Heimdall comes for them.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousgame: They treat Containment Zone Aleph as their personal safari, though they're too cowardly to do anything except bully the helpless.
* KarmaHoudini: Thanks to their families, Yggdrasil is forced to treat them with kid gloves, and their punishments are slaps on the wrist.
* KillThePoor: They certainly amuse themselves slaughtering the desperate scavengers of Aleph for sport.
* LightIsNotGood: Though they call themselves "Light Chasers", and use bright blue as their colour schemes, they embody the worst of corporate wealth, being a bunch of entitled children with all the power and none of the responsibility.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: They're able to get away with most of their crimes because they can run to their parents for help.

[[folder:Dietrich Adams]]
[[quoteright:909:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dietrichadams.png]]
[[caption-width-right:909:''"People? These Juvosis-soaked dregs count as people in your eyes? Those Titagen-corrupted cow-things are people?"'']]

One of the co-founders of the Light Chasers, he embodies the group's identity, as a self-absorbed, attention-seeking, bigoted murderer.

* AssholeVictim: Once the Adjutant gets ahold of him, he dispenses some frontier justice, beating Dietrich bloody, before tossing him over to Nita to get her own licks in, safe in the knowledge that Dietrich will be able to heal it all up within a day thanks to Yggdrasil's healing pods.
* DirtyCoward: In chapter 3, Heimdall tracks down the Light Chasers. Rather than put up any real fight, Dietrich is found cowering under a tarp, and throws a tantrum while threatening the Adjustant with his family's name.
* HateSink: He's a bigot who happily flaunts his unearned wealth and influence to make life more inconvenient for everyone around him, when he's not stealing technology and killing innocents. At least Ye and the Exarch Kegaard have some charisma to them, while Dietrich is a petty bully.
* MoneyIsNotPower: Despite Dietrich's money and influence, he finds himself at the mercy of the Adjutant, who is willing to punish him in any way he can, all else be damned.
* PsychopathicManchild: His greatest calling in life is to livestream massacres for clout and views.
* ItIsDehumanizing: As his quote indicates, he doesn't even want to register the scavengers as human beings. Since they're dying of Juvosis and Titagen anyways, they might as well find some use as target practice.

The other co-founder of the Light Chasers.

----

* OnlySaneMan: She realizes what the Light Chasers have become, and regrets it. While trapped following the group, she still tries to help Heimdall by leaking their location where possible.

[[caption-width-right:578:some caption text]]

The Captain of Beowulf Battalion, a military unit.

* HuskyRusskie: He is a migrant from the north with a Russian surname, so of course he the largest member, who wears the heaviest armor, and wields the largest weapon.

* HateSink: He's a bigot who happily flaunts his unearned wealth and influence to make life more inconvenient for everyone around him, when he's not stealing technology and killing innocents. At least Ye and the Exalt Kegaard have some charisma to them, while Dietrich is a petty bully.

* OneLetterName: Its board of directors are only identified by the lower case Greek alphabet, besides the Adjutant's direct superior, 𝞽 ("Tau"), ⱷ ("Phi") and ⲱ ("Omega") have also appeared.

* CursedWithAwesome: Following his return to Earth, it's revealed the Adjustant has become a Manifestation, possessing Theotropic Nerves, but no Deiwos. Instead, he gains "Empathic Ganglia" that allows him to receive memories of other people. However, given this happens at all the wrong times, and worse, is altering his personality, the Adjutant arranges a surgery to [[BroughtBackDownToNormal have them removed]] after Chapter 4.

* LightIsNotGood: Though they call themselves "Light Chasers", and use bright blue as their colour schemes, they embody the worst of corporate wealth, being a bunch of entitled children with all the power and no responsibility.

Joseph Sokolov Alexander, known as "the Bison", serves as the Coyote's armor instructor. Little is known of him, besides that he's likely a migrant from a northern state. His armor is pieced together from various scrap discared by the Coyotes. Despite his advanced age, he has no qualms following the younger Ye. Perhaps he's given up all hope in adults.

Within Containment Zone Aleph is this organized rabble of outlaws. Made up of Scavengers, Juvosis victims and other opportunistic drifters. They are a thorn in Yggdrasil's side, often raiding their shipments and causing trouble in the Camps, but in a lawless city, order is maintained from the barrel of a gun.

* MegaCorp
* NGOSuperPower
* OneLetterName

The fighting force organized by Yggdrasil to undertake missions related to Containment Zone Aleph.
