While some of their mistakes can be chalked up to things beyond their control, such as Hermann and her crew's interference, it's just as likely for their own personalities and poor decisions to run an operation off the rails.
Epic Fail: Limbus Company fucks up a lot over the course of their missions.Everyone Has Standards: As much of a Dysfunction Junction they are and a vast majority of them do not respect Dante as their leader, they unanimously defend Dante against Nagel und Hammer because despite all their bickering and utilization of their supposed boss as their Auto-Revive, the Sinners are firm in their belief that Dante has a right to live and refuse to hand them over to be executed for having a prosthetic.
However, none of the enemy factions will acknowledge this, and will happily engage a character wearing the same uniform as them on sight. The various Mirror Identities allow the Sinners to do this, due to them being actual members of those organizations in their alternate timelines. Of particular note is the similarity shown in each of their character promos: each is locked inside a room and wearing the same striped clothing to varying degrees, calling to mind the environment and dress of an actual prison. Dark and Troubled Past: The very nature of the City all but guarantees that each Sinner has their own assortment of trauma to deal with and a host of secrets they'd rather not get out.
During the Event, Gregor's team is so unruly that the recipe gets ruined by Sinners adding or subtracting various ideas, and Ryōshū's team isn't much better as Sinclair winds up being the only actual cook while all his teammates hover over his shoulder and give contradictory advice.
Cordon Bleugh Chef: Unsurprisingly, when the Sinners try to cook something without clear direction, it winds up being so terrible to the point where it's comparable to dumpster diving, as seen in Hell's Chicken. Furthermore, they are sponsored by an entity that is as mysterious as they are manipulative the Library by the uncannily charming Carmen who is now the single most destructive force of the city, and Limbus Company heavily implied to be the cunning Purple Tear, who also orchestrated the destruction of Vergilius's life for a currently ambiguous goal. While the Library is a Villain Protagonist faction that blackholes well-meaning citizens and is responsible for most of the chaos in Library of Ruina, the role is reversed for Limbus Company Limbus's Sinners are all troubled, but well-meaning citizens pitting off against outright villains. Both are a group consisting of 12 people going around fighting the City's other denizens and were led by a color fixer who was roped into a deal at the nadir of his life, but unlike the Sephirot and Roland, Limbus Company is consisted of rank-and-file denizens of the City who are at the bottom of the food chain, rather than employees of a former Wing who have ascended into immortality. Contrasting Sequel Protagonist: To the Sephirot and Roland from Library of Ruina. Finally, by process of elimination, Dante is Inferno Red- Hex no. Vergilius and Charon share Stygian Cobalt - Hex no. Heathcliff is Furious Violet - Hex no. Whether the Sinners are known by these colors in the story is as of yet unknown.
This is appropriate for the City, as the most powerful Fixers alive are designated with a color-based codename by the Hana Association.
Colour Motifs: As seen from the Tokyo Game Show demo, the language of each Sinner's source text is associated with a specific color and hex code. Unfortunately, the plan starts to fall apart mere minutes after the mission briefing was done, and they don’t even get to leave the rendezvous point before things get worse. The Caper: Canto II of the game is Limbus Company's planned heist to get into the J Corp casino where a Golden Bough is located - there are three entrances, and three teams of Sinners will infiltrate the building as guests, employees and VIPs while their inside men will guide them to the top of the building where a card game will be rigged in their favor to beat out the other Syndicates trying to win their prize. All of which so far have been a giant bungle of disaster in one way or another due to awful circumstances, horrid luck, or just the general chaos generated by the group by virtue of existing. 13 Is Unlucky: Counting Dante as number 10, and noting that Gregor is number 13, there are 13 total members of Limbus Company who go on missions.
