A Broken Winter: Difference between revisions

* [[Human Resources]]: It's implied by the art that the so-called "brisket" you ordered at the restaurant might not actually be brisket at all.

* [[Immortality Begins At Twenty]]: Even with their extended lifespans, it still only takes about twenty years to reach adulthood, at which point everyone looks fairly young. Reisen, despite being several hundred years old, barely looks older than his seventeen year old son.

* [[Lunacy]]: Tarqila, aka Moon Sickness, is bacteria from the moon that can cause blindness and eventual insanity.

* [[Mad Scientist]]: Arandano. [http://abrokenwinter.com/graphic82.html Just look at the page where he's introduced.]

* [[Slave Brand]]: Kokkan has one on his shoulder from his time in the special division at Irihi. While he largely ignores it, Kuroda seems to be [[Mark of Shame|ashamed by it]].

* [[Sympathetic Murderer]]: {{spoiler|Kuroda Tadayoshi}} and to some extent, {{spoiler|Kokkan}}, though he didn't have any choice in the matter.

* [[Troubled but Cute]]: Kokkan, through and through. Because of the trauma he endured as a child, he can't eat meat, he apparently rarely sleeps, and he self medicates by smoking because he refuses to take medicine for his PTSD.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Kokkan as a teenager. He's the protagonist, but otherwise he acts like the stereotype.
