History Characters / PathToNowhereMinosBureauOfCrisisControl

* BadassNormal: While the Chief has Potestas and can shackle Sinners, they are not a frontline combatant as noted by their Sinners. In fact, it has been constantly established that outside of said powers, their physical performance is pretty subpar and they only have their wits and quick thinking to compete with the many threats to the city and their life.

* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Hella's Red. She is calm, collected and advocates for a safer approach towards problematic situations. If not for her emotionless behaviour and overall childlike worldview, she would probably function as a sort of TeamMom.

* TrueCompanions: A messy group of companions brought together through ([[RecruitingTheCriminal figurative]] ''and'' [[SupernormalBindings literal]]) Shackles, but a group of companions loyal to The Chief nonetheless. Notably, some Sinners make it very clear they '''don't''' like the MBCC as a group, but still serve The Chief willingly because they believe they believe [[InternalReformist in their potential for creating a better society]] and/or [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe gratitude to them]].

* ChildSoldiers: For a less [[ArmyOfThievesAndWhores formal definition of "soldiers" anyway]]. Given that mania contamination doesn't discriminate whether it infects older or younger people, there's quite a few inmates inmates in the MBCC who are implied or explicitly stated to be underage - and there's no discernment when it comes to calling them into missions involving scraps against gangsters, corruptors and other numerous menaces The Chief faces.

The Minos Bureau of Crisis Control (MBCC) is a government bureau tasked with—well—[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin crisis control]]. They are an organization that belongs and answers to the Framework Against Catastrophe (FAC), and the faction that serves as the POV focus of the game. After the events of Chapter 6, [[spoiler: they are placed under the surveillance and command of the 9th Agency, another underground faction focused on espionage and counter-intelligence]].

* 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 aprehending 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 volunteer basis.

* 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 his 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]].

* GoodIsNotSoft: One shouldn't take the fact they're a ReasonableAuthorityFigure for granted, while The Chief has a surprisingly high amount of empathy even for Sinners with violent and sociopathic past, they won't think twice on tearing their enemies apart on the battlefield, both verbally and physically. In the Night of Wonders event for example, when it turns out that [[spoiler:Sosia is not immune to her own fears coming true]], The Chief goes on to perform a BreakingSpeech that causes a BrownNote in the form of [[spoiler:Enfer's past traumas]] to attack her. Another example is how the Chief attempt to shoot to kill the young man in Chapter 9 when the latter not only pretended to steal Hypercube to spy on the Chief, but also ambushed the Chief and his Sinners at the Drifter Camp.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: While immune to mania contamination, The Chief is still vulnerable to overextending the use of his Shackles and Potestas, which can lead to gradual mental damage. The fear of this happening to the pointy of insanity is exemplified in the Night of Wonders event, where this fear is materialized in the form of a corrupted copy of The Chief obssessed with any opposition and demanding submission from everyone around them.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: While immune to mania contamination, The Chief is still vulnerable to overextending the use of his chackles and potestas, which can lead to gradual mental damage. The fear of this happening to the pointy of insanity is exemplified in the Night of Wonders event, where this fear is materialized in the form of a corrupted copy of The Chief obssessed with any opposition and demanding submission from everyone around them.

* NotAfraidtoDie: Oak Casket, the Sinner who can hear the last words of those infected with Mania like an echo or a mirage, remarks how the Chief is somone who does not value their own lives at Chapter 9.

* LickedByTheDog: Almost literally. One Supervision Event involving Ann has her finding a cat 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]].

* Averted in her dynamic with EMP when they're paired up, where it's more like Red Oni ''and'' Red Oni. She slight leans towards being the "Blue Oni" due to being a bit more level-headed than her goofy partner, but that's only due to [[DamnedByFaintPraise the standards of this comparison]], really.
