History Characters / LobotomyCorporation

* CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler:In ''Library of Runia'', being forced to deal with her own demons thanks to the Sefroit standing up to her, which in turn is thanks to Roland encouarging them, which is noted by Yesod.]]

* [[spoiler: SlasherSmile: Sports this when wielding the Wingbeats E.G.O.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler:In ''Library of Runia'', being forced to deal with her own demons thanks to the Sefroit standing up to her thanks to Roland, which is noted by Yesod.]]

** [[spoiler: This warning bears fruit when immediately she sets about undoing everything you accomplished by the end of Lobotomy Corporation, only stalled by the combined efforts of all but one of the partially human Sephirah.]]

* ClosedCircle: Once hired into the Corporation, there's no way out other than death. The Agents might lament on getting some vacation days, but for the most part they're trapped in the facility and forced to keep working until either they or the facility meets an end.

The Firebird is an exception to the general rule of work results, as bad work results will cause its Qliphoth counter to instead ''increase'', while both good and neutral results have a chance to decrease it. However, this can be a boon, as when an employee works with The Firebird and either has less than 20% of their own HP left, or works when The Firebird's Qliphoth counter is at 1, The Firebird will briefly turn into its flaming form and heal the employee. When its Qliphoth counter hits zero, however, The Firebird will breach, spreading its flames across the room for Red damage and counterattacking employees who try to suppress it for White damage. The Firebird will continue like this, either until it is suppressed, or until it decides to return to its containment on its own.

* [[spoiler: TurningHumanAgain: The Sephirah are given fully human forms in ''Library of Ruina''.]]

* EatingMachine: Considering Netzach actively advocates for readily-available alcohol in his branch and Chesed is never seen without coffee.

** Same with ''Library of Ruina'', [[spoiler: where she is trying to find 'The Perfect Book' that will allow herself and everyone else in the library to be truely free...which involves killing even more people, regardless of what anyone else thinks.]]

[[caption-width-right:350: However, only hollowness and betrayal returned from them.]]
->"Betrayed hearts were slowly forgotten in the depths."

* BeserkButton: In ''Library of Ruina'' [[spoiler:its A, or ''that man'' as Angela prefers when speaking of him. Her past, along with being refered to as not being human, to a lesser extent, since they remind her of A.]]
* BuxomIsBetter: Angela mentions that she was designed to be visually appealing to as much people as possible, and she has a noticeably curvaceous figure compared to every other female character that isn't Gebura. [[Especially telling since Carmen had a smaller cup size than Angela.]]

* EyesAlwaysClosed: She does peek them open in a few portraits, though. No longer the case in the sequel.

* IJustWantToBeFree: [[spoiler: Her ultimate goal, first realized during the true ending, and pursued in [[VideoGame/LibraryOfRuina Library of Ruina]].]]

* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Her boss fights in ''Library of Ruina'' has her use all of the Abnormalities faced on a single floor.]]

* BuxomIsBetter: Angela mentions that she was designed to be visually appealing to as much people as possible, and she has a noticeably curvaceous figure compared to every other female character that isn't Gebura.

* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Despite being an [[AIIsACrapShoot openly malevolent AI]], she herself never breaks down or has a Meltdown like the other Sephirah. In the sequel, her Metldowns are the final boss of each floor, using E.G.O.s of all of the Abnormalities faced on said floor.]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: A variant, but when she appears in a scene in ''Library of Ruina'', a distinct "finger snap" sound effect is heard.

** Downplayed in [[VideoGame/LibraryOfRuina Library of Ruina]]. While still displaying stoic tendencies, she's much more open about how she's feeling. [[spoiler:Becomes NotSoStotic when she has a Meltdown based on the Sephirah/Patron Libarians standing to her and triggering a flashback.]]
* TranquilFury: Though she never sticks to it for long, you can tell when she's especially bothered by something when her normally shut eyes open a little.

* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Her boss fight in ''Library of Ruina'' has her use all of the Abnormalities faced on a single floor.]]

* AllYpurPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Her boss fight in ''Library of Ruina'' has her use all of the Abnormalities faced on a single floor.]]

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: [[spoiler:Like Gebura, her Meltdown form is a suppressible entity known as An Arbiter. Additionally, aside from gaining an earring as Binah, she looks no different now than what she looked like in her previous life.]]

* AllThereInTheManual: What the letters and numbers in an Abnormality's serial code isn't explained ingame, and is instead touched on through outside sources and especially the artbook. To elaborate, 'O' stands for Original, based on no theme in particular. 'T' stands for Trauma, typically used on Abnormalities that are based on a specific fear or phobia. 'F' stands for Fairy-Tale, which are used on creatures who inspired real world fairy-tales. 'D' presumably stands for Donator, which are Abnormality concepts pitched by the backers who helped fund the game.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: [[spoiler:The only Sephirah that wasn't explicitly tied to the facility or worked for it prior to her death.]]

* TheUnSmile: Though arguably it could be considered a case of WhenSheSmiles depending on one's perspective of the situation. [[spoiler:In the True Ending, while the Sephirah are rejoicing about the The Seed of Light being deployed and their eternal rest has finally come, Angela reveals that she intends to keep both the facility and herself active when they’re all gone, and she has been [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CSZRx9GWmGU/maxresdefault.jpg practicing a smile for this moment.]]]]

* HaveANiceDeath: There are ''many'' ways for an Agent to die based on the fact that you have direct control over their actions, from not having the stat requirements to work on Singing Machine and being grinned to mush as a result to being assimilated into some of the many Abnormalities, or being transported to parts unknown.

* SanitySlippage: A common danger for an Agent is to lose their minds to the horrors being contained. Depending on their stats, their reactions may range from:

** [[spoiler: This warning beats fruit when immediately she sets about undoing everything you accomplished by the end of Lobotomy Corporation, only stalled by the combined efforts of all but one of the partially human Sephirah.]]

* AIIsACrapShoot: Fails a lie detector test concerning any malicious intent on her part.

* MadeOfIron: Is attacked early on in ''Library of Ruina'' and is completely unaffected beyond a clanging sound.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Sephirah or Sefirot? The former is supplied by the game while the latter is how they're referred to in Hebrew.

* WalkingSpoiler: Not the Sephirah themselves, no, but rather [[spoiler:their previous forms as humans and the trial for completing their Meltdowns reveal a whole lot about the facility, A, Carmen, and the Seed of Hope.]]
* YourSizeMayVary: [[spoiler:Their human selves generally have the same height as their current forms, with some noticeable exceptions, such as Daniel being quite shorter than Chesed, or Benjamin seeming to have been quite tall in some cutscenes or around the same height as he is now as Hokam.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler In the sequel ''Library of Ruina'', she's disgusted by the existence of Tomerry.]]
