%% ChronicHeroSyndrome

* LogicalWeakness: While the Shackle is effective at either restricting or enhancing Sinners, it is useless against ordinary opponents who are not corrupted by Mania. Even Potestas rely on Mania as its power source. So outside of highly distorted mental contamination field like the Black Ring where Mania is plentiful, the Chief has to rely on Sinners.
** Because they rely on the Shackles so much to help them feel what the Sinner is feeling, [[spoiler: Garden assassin Garofano was able to trick them with her stories filled with lies and truths, hiding her intention to assassinate them.]]
* MoralityPet: Serves this to many Sinners and ones whose bond reaches to 100% compliance, though that doesn't mean they are completely.

!!Other personnel

[[folder: Faye]]

She is the head of the Supply Office at MBCC.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The 18th Belphegor Art Museum Exhibition ticket that she gave to the Chief as a present so that they can take a break ends up as this. This is because when the Mania crisis occurred in Belphegor Art Museum, the Chief is trapped there. When Nightingale finds out about this, she accusingly gave a long silent glare at Faye with a tight frown. Faye defended herself by saying how she could not have maliciously planned to trap the Chief since this Mania crisis happened out of nowhere. Not to mention how she is still waiting for her dear Chief to give her a year-end bonus...

[[folder: Security Captain]]
!!Security Captain / [[spoiler: 036]] / [[spoiler: Roland Arouet]]

* KilledOffForReal: Bites the bullet during the riots in the prologue. [[spoiler: Or so we are led to believe. He actually survives the riots and comes back in Chapter 5 and 6, leading a squad of FAC soldiers during the Legion-Eastside deal. Sadly, he is killed during the BR-4 incident]]. [[spoiler: And by the Chief, no less]].

[[folder: Arrest Team Captain]]

[[folder: Wynn]]

Wynn is not her real name but rather an alias. This makes sense since she is from the Intelligence Department of MBCC. She also serves as the clerk for the City Arrest Team.

* ADayInTheLimelight: While she only appeared briefly, she was seen bandaging Arrest Team Captain's injuries during the epilogue of the Dreamy Bubble event. She again appeared in Beyond [=DisCars!=] event as mission support through a vlog chat under the alias "My Best Cool Car is Awesome!"

* ConvenientComa: [[spoiler: The Chief gets this after Chapter 11 and 12.]]

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: As Chief has to fight and win against Mania contaminated beings that could destroy whole [=DisCity=], if not the whole world; this is a natural result.

* LickedByTheDog: Almost literally. One Supervision Event involving Ann has her finding a cat who takes interest in them and asking The Chief if they can keep it. The first option has them say "of course" while the later has them say "[[ButThouMust that was what i was thinking]]".

* MoralityPet: Serves this to many Sinners and ones whose bond reaches to 100% compliance, like for example: Chameleon, Oak Casket, Zoya, Hamel (she's not a bad person but Chief helps her calm down), Nox etc.

* BadassNormal: The Chief both plays straight and subverts this. It is true that the Chief is not physically strong as Sinners. In fact, it has been constantly established that outside of their Potestas, Shackles, and Mania immunity, their physical performance is actually subpar and they only have their wits and quick thinking to compete with the many threats to the city and their life. But this is subverted by the fact they can't be considered to be BadassNormal when he absorbed mania substances like the Inheritance or Corpus. The reason why the Chief wants to hide this fact is due to how they know that there are many who will view them as a threat if they ever find out. That is why the Chief prefers to be seen as a weak but necessary "loser" by having their Sinners take credit whenever possible.

* DialogueTree: The player can determine what the Chief says in certain cutscenes, though their responses usually don't affect the events around him. On certain occasions, the game will give you a prompt when a choice affects how a situation is dealt or even might lead to a non-standard game-over, by triggering some warning bumpers with the words Choose carefully. The most notable instance of this mechanic, so far, happens at the end of Chapter 2, [[spoiler: when the Chief can decide to lie and give hope to a Sinner, or tell them the truth and cause despair on their situation]]. While the game doesn't deviate from the outcome [[spoiler: the Sinner will die in both scenarios]], the way it's reached includes different artwork and dialogue. Another example happens at Chapter 9 where the Chief can either shoot or hold back on the young man who pretended to steal Hypercube to spy on the Chief, but also ambushed the Chief and their Sinners at the Drifter Camp, [[spoiler: unlike the previous example, while it is similar to previous example as the outcome is the same as the Chief is shot from behind by a burst of electricity, but the difference is how there is no different artwork and dialogue]].

* CloningBlues: {{Implied}}. She makes references to being expendable, and she mentions that other Hecates exist.

* BoxedCrook: The MBCC often employs Sinners alongside their usual agents on missions alongside The Chief to deal with Crisis such as other Sinners and Black Rings - while seemingly contradictory to put dangerous convicts in a line of work that is dedicated to apprehending them, Sinners are often the only ones [[TakesOneToKillOne able to take down powerful enemy Sinners]] and going on missions develops their sense of discipline and rehabilitation - helped out by participation in operations working on a entirely voluntary basis.

* CloningBlues: {{Implied}}. She makes references to being expendable, and she mentions that other Hecates exist.

* ConvenientComa: [[spoiler: The Chief gets this after Chapter 12.]]

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: While it takes a bit of time, Hella ends up warming to the Chief in the course of the main quest, going from a fearful and distrustful stance to a more playful and mischievous attitude. The evolution of their dynamic is explored with more detail on Chapter 7, focusing mostly on the fallout of certain events that transpired in Chapter 5 & 6.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: During the prologue we don't get to know his name and the game calls him only by his position as a captain. [[spoiler: When we meet him again in chapter 5, he is first introduced as a FAC Captain, and after we ascertain that he is the same soldier we met during the prologue, we get to call him by his serial number - 036]]. [[spoiler: Chapter 6 epilogue finally reveals his real name - Roland Arouet - written on his tombstone]].

* PromotedToPlayable: Averted. Despite being the second unit you control in the game, you never get to include him permanently in your roster. In fact, the Chief comes to believe he died during the riots. [[spoiler: It's not until Chapter 5&6 that he makes a comeback and we learn more about him. Sadly, he doesn't make it out alive from that crisis]].
