-----
*AbsoluteXenophobe: The Bird leadership encourages it, with most of the Bird soldiers killing different species on sight. Very few non-bird characters are spared by them, and even then, they're treated very poorly.
*AlwaysChaoticEvil: Seemingly played straight at first, only to be subverted later. Right off the bat you learn that the birds tortured and murdered a child, and every single soldier you meet will open fire on you without a second thought, giving the impression that they're utterly irredeemable. As you progress further into the game, however, you start meeting other birds and learn more about their society, [[GreyAndGrayMorality which makes things a little more complicated]].
*TheDictatorship: The Two-Beaked God, supreme leader of the Bird empire, rules with an iron fist and fiercely punishes any dissenters.
*{{Eagleland}}: Type 2, full stop. A warmongering, imperialistic and fiercely xenophobic nation knee deep into rampant consumerism and an utter disregard for its' own citizens, who suffer from poverty, sickness and forced mobilization.
*FantasticRacism: Birds refer to other species as "non-bird scum" and kill them on the spot. Those that are useful to their regime are just barely tolerated.
*FeatheredFiend: They're by far the most cruel and violent characters present in the game, and some of the bosses (who are products of genetic manipulation) look downright monstruous.
*GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: One of the Bird's specialty is the usage of genetic manipulation for warfare, being responsible for the creation of the War Machines and the augmentation of their leadership.
*SociopathicSoldier: The Bird army has its' fair share of sadists and psychopaths, [[FantasticRacism murdering and tormenting citizens of other species]] as well as executing their own for defecting. If Captain Kidgutter's story is to be believed, acts of cruelty will earn you ''respect'' among your fellow soldiers.

!!The Birds
[[folder:In General]]
[[quoteright:345:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/birb_3.png]]
An imperialistic, xenophobic nation who aims to take control of the wasteland.
-----
*AbsoluteXenophobe: The Bird leadership encourages it, with most of the Bird soldiers killing different species on sight. Very few non-bird characters are spared by them, and even then, they're treated very poorly.
*AlwaysChaoticEvil: Seemingly played straight at first, only to be subverted later. Right off the bat you learn that the birds tortured and murdered a child, and every single soldier you meet will open fire on you without a second thought, giving the impression that they're utterly irredeemable. As you progress further into the game, however, you start meeting other birds and learn more about their society, [[GreyAndGrayMorality which makes things a little more complicated]].
*TheDictatorship: The Two-Beaked God, supreme leader of the Bird empire, rules with an iron fist and fiercely punishes any dissenters.
*{{Eagleland}}: Type 2, full stop. A warmongering, imperialistic and fiercely xenophobic nation knee deep into rampant consumerism and an utter disregard for its' own citizens, who suffer from poverty, sickness and forced mobilization.
*FantasticRacism: Birds refer to other species as "non-bird scum" and kill them on the spot. Those that are useful to their regime are just barely tolerated.
*FeatheredFiend: They're by far the most cruel and violent characters present in the game, and some of the bosses (who are products of genetic manipulation) look downright monstruous.
*GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: One of the Bird's specialty is the usage of genetic manipulation for warfare, being responsible for the creation of the War Machines and the augmentation of their leadership.
*SociopathicSoldier: The Bird army has its' fair share of sadists and psychopaths, [[FantasticRacism murdering and tormenting citizens of other species]] as well as executing their own for defecting. If Captain Kidgutter's story is to be believed, acts of cruelty will earn you ''respect'' among your fellow soldiers.

-->'''Laika''': Sadly.
*TheGunslinger: Fitting for the game western's theme, Laika's first weapon is a revolver, and she's really good with it.
*HiddenDepths: Music is one of the very few things that Laika isn't bitterly cynical towards. She collects tapes in tribute of Jacob, gushes about Beícoli's songs and excitedly helps the village's band get back together.
*KnightInSourArmor: Laika is ''not'' a happy person. She's fully aware of how dire their situation is, bitterly considers herself as a "pawn is someone else's game", and often wonders if the struggle is worth it. Still, she tries her hardest to protect her friends and family, and goes out of her way to help people just to make the wasteland a little less crappy.
*PerpetualFrowner: She ''very rarely'' displays any expression other than an angry scowl. [[CrapSackWorld Considering everything]] [[OutlivingOnesOffspring that has happened to her]], it's easy to see why.
*ResurrectiveImmortality: Like her mother, grandmother and her ancestors, Laika is able to come back from the dead. Weirdly enough, this also applies to her bike.

[[folder:Puppy]]
[[quoteright:127:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/puppy_7.png]]
Laika's youngest daughter, and future inheritor of the family's curse.
----
*AdorablyPrecociousChild: She often states how much she wants to ride out into the wasteland like her mother. While Maya is certainly proud of this, Laika is dismayed.
*KidnappedForExperimentation: The Two Beaked God orders her capture, hoping to somehow extract the secret to immortality from her blood.

[[caption-width-right:258:[[labelnote:Click to see her in her prime.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maya2.png[[/labelnote]]]]
Laika's mother, the previous holder of the family's curse.
----
*InsistentTerminology: Once she tasks Laika with getting a shotgun, she refers to it as a "weapon binding ritual", and gets annoyed when Laika calls it "forging a shotgun".
*OutlivingOnesOffspring: Much like Laika, she lost several of her children due to the curse. However, she also lived to see her last daughter die, who sacrificed herself to stop a nuclear bomb.
*RetiredBadass: Before Laika inherited the curse, Maya was the one riding in the wastelands and defending their community. After growing old and losing her powers, she stays in the village, acting as a guide to Laika and Puppy.
*ScatterbrainedSenior: Downplayed. Her age scrambles her memories to the point where she cannot remember where she hid the family's pendant and confuses Laika with Ava, her grandchild, but other than that she's considerably rational.
*SoProudOfYou: After spending the entire game either belittling Laika or clashing with her, she finally acknowledges Laika's prowess by the end, and says she's proud of her.
*ToughLove: Maya is downright verbally abusive to Laika, and subjected her to [[TrainingFromHell a harsh childhood in order to make her a fierce warrior]]. But all things considered, [[HadToBeSharp it was the only way to make sure she would survive in the harsh world they live in]], and to properly train her to protect their home.

!!The Coyote Family
[[folder:Laika]]
[[quoteright:557:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laika_8.png]]
A coyote warrior cursed with immortality and the ability to talk with the dead. Also the protagonist of the game.
----
*BadassBiker: Laika's shooting skills are only matched by her driving skills, effortlessly crossing the wasteland on her bike, doing impressive stunts and taking out baddies. Her proficiency as a deadly biker earned her the title of "Grim Rider" among the birds.
*CoolHelmet: Her motorbike helmet is shaped like a skull, and decorated with feathers.
*DeadpanSnarker: She definitely has her moments.
