History Characters / AITheSomniumFiles

* ButHeSoundsHandsome: In the Lemniscate Youtube series ARG, a handful of the episodes are actually hosted by him in Iris's body rather than Iris herself. One of the episodes he hosts is "Iris" introducing ABIS to the audience. While introducing Date, whose body is actaully Saito's, he comments extensively on how attractive Date is.

* MaybeEverAfter: The ending of ''The Somnium Files'' has her interested in restarting her relationship with Falco, now Date, but he feels uncomfortable about it due to lingering guilt about shooting her years earlier by accident. By the end of ''Nirvana Initiative'', [[spoiler:they aren't explicitly together, but they are seen cuddling rather shamelessly in front of their respective daughters ([[AndZoidberg and Bibi]]).]]

* GoodIsNotSoft: While usually pretty easygoing and willing to give her subordinates a lot of agency, Boss will put her foot down if she feels the stakes are high enough to warrant it, showing a somewhat colder and more unbending side to her.

** In ''nirvanA Initiative'', [[spoiler:she is royally pissed to learn that Ryuki fired at an unarmed civillain and doesn't hold back when reprimanding him.]]

* BestFriend: He is this to Date for five years before the game starts. The two are incredibly close and constant drinking buddies, with Renju opening up how his DarkAndTroubledPast, being able trust Mizuki in Date's care when he and Shoko are horrible parents, and Date grows worried about him when he seems to vanish without a given reason. [[spoiler:Whenever he finds Renju's corpse, he's actually devastated, but continues to do his job.]]

** He's actually a pretty good cook. [[spoiler:In ''Nirvana Initiative'', he revitalizes his parents' restaurant single handedly and turns it into a rather popular spot.]]

* {{Manchild}}: Ota is a 25-year-old {{otaku}} who spends all his time and money [[LoonyFan on his e-girl best friend]] or [[CosplayCafe maid cafes]] rather than looking for a job or even helping out with his parents' diner, which he justifies by saying he's working on his writing (although he lacks the confidence to actually ''publish'' anything even though he dropped out of college to do so). [[spoiler: It's revealed in his route that his mother made him a SpoiledBrat, and his parents overworked themselves to support him after their diner was forced to shut down. His father suddenly died of a heart attack while his mother developed dementia that went untreated. At the end of his route and the GoldenEnding, Ota TookALevelInKindness after [[HeelRealization realizing what a burden he was]] and started working three jobs to afford treatment for his mother while still working on his writing on the side.]]
** [[spoiler:In the sequel it is shown Ota has chosen to succeed the family businesses, spearheading the restaurant by being a competent manager and cook himself, while he hasn't given up his unhealthy fanboyism and constant expenses at the Mermaid Cafe, he has definitely grown as a person where these frivolities can at least be excused as a side hobby]].

* ScatterbrainedSenior: Not played for laughs. [[spoiler:She suffers from dementia, she's unable to remember her diner closed down years ago, or even more heartbreakingly, her own husband's death.]]

* ParentalNeglect: By all accounts, So Sejima was not very attentive to Saito, and no mention of counselling, therapy or treatment was ever given to that son of his.

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: You might as well forget the fact that they're armed during the QTEs.

* ButtMonkey: He has his moments in both games, but moreso in ''nirvanA Initiative''. In the first game [[spoiler:he gets blackmailed by Date, gets shot, and is tricked into motorboating Chinpei]] while in the second [[spoiler:his computer gets hacked, he gets stuck wearing a voice-changing lock choker and nearly chokes to death, Lien's efforts to take it off are hampered by how bad his breath smells, Mizuki manipulates him into giving her one of the golden balls from his dragon statues, and he gets tricked into motorboating Chinpei again]].

* BetaCouple: Him and Hanayo; during the true ending, she mentions that she'll be changing her last name to "Yogano" the following month.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: He has even less presence in ''nirvanA Initiative'' than in the original, but [[spoiler:his TC-PERGE-addled ravings to Mizuki lead her to find the location of the test launch of the Nirvana Initiative]].
** Even in the original game, the trope still applies to him. [[spoiler:Dokuta is heavily implied to be the mob doctor who helped Renju and Hitomi in various occasions, including forging a birth certificate for Iris and treating Falco's wounds after he was found at the shrine.]]

* TakingTheBullet: The nerves in her right shoulder were destroyed, rendering that arm unusable, due to her jumping in front of a bullet intended for her then-love interest. More context is added to the scene as the game goes along, revealing that Rohan Kumakura and Boss broke into her house and attempted to kill Falco...except Falco and Rohan had swapped bodies, and Rohan was planning to use Falco's body to carry out the hit that he ordered on Hitomi and Iris. Hitomi had no idea what was going on, and thus took a bullet intended for her would-be killer.]

* BadassBaritone: Talks with a deep and gravelly tone.

* FanserviceExtra: A receptionist with GagBoobs who's never seen outside of Lemniscate, barring a single phone call to Date, [[spoiler:and the ending]].

* SexySecretary: The receptionist at Lemniscate who has GagBoobs, and a RunningGag of [[ChivalrousPervert Date]] flirting with her whenever he sees her.

* MeaningfulName: It's a StealthPun on 'parasite', 'sight', the name of the Egyptian god of disorder and violence Seth [[note]] with those two linking him to Iris [[/note]] and a reference to the mythical cyclops [[note]] the first kanji in his name means 'rhino', as the cyclops had one horn on its forehead [[/note]], all in one.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: When talking to everyone else after Tearer's plans have been stopped, absolutely ''nobody'' agrees with Amame being arrested for what she did under threat of blackmail from Tokiko, since that stemmed from her murdering a remorseless madman that had killed her father and was attempting to brainwash the planet.

** In ''nirvanA Initiative'', [[spoiler:she is royally pissed to learn that Ryuki fired at an unarmed civillain and doesn't hold back when reprimending him.]]

* AmbiguouslyGay: A ''lot'' of hints point to him being gay, but it's never outright stated. [[spoiler:The biggest hint is obviously being an item with Pewter, and his failed marriage with Shoko can be inferred as a [[TheBeard beard]] marriage that ended disastrously. He's also part of a [[TrueCompanions best friend trio]] with Manaka and Hitomi, two women with male partners, and frequents a gay bar run by a trans(?) business person.]]

* SmallRoleBigImpact: In ''nirvanA Inintiative'', he only appears in a single scene and the Somnium immediately following. He still manages to be important in that once again, he's the father of the BigBad.

* DrowningMySorrows: [[spoiler:One of the guards can be found at Marble]] at the end of the [[GoldenEnding Resolution Route]].

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: You might as well forget the fact that they're armed during the QTE's.

!Kumakura Gang

* DirtyOldMan: He's a man in his 40's crushing on Iris, who is 18.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being a mob boss who's got temper issues, lecherous and has no issues with murder. Moma is actually a huge A-set fan, swears on his life that the family is going clean for Iris, and acts as part of TheCavalry in the Iris and Resolution routes.

* RedBaron: Calls himself "War Horse" while introducing himself to Date... which [[MeaningfulName is actually what the kanji in his name mean.]]

** In ''nirvanA Initiative'', he reveals that he has a degree in filmatography (originally to direct porn), and is able to leave the Kamakura family in order to direct Komeji's online quiz show and earn honest money to be with his pregnant girlfriend.
* NoNameGiven: Is only referred to as "Yakuza A" in-game in the first game; his actual name can only be found in the File section and is used in ''nirvanA Initiative''.
* PutOnABus: Is awarded a bigger role in the beginning of ''nirvanA Initiative'', but [[spoiler:is quickly shafted after he shoots at Ryuki in the middle of Sunfish Pocket, which lands him in prison for six years.]]

* BackAlleyDoctor: Serves as this for the Kumakura Clan. [[spoiler:Given Renju's connection to the Kumakuras, he probably helped with Iris' birth certificate.]]
* BetaCouple: Him and Hanayo; during the true ending, she mentions that she'll be changing her last name to "Yogano" the following month.

* PunnyName: "Dokuta" sounds like "Doctor". His Japanese family name makes full name a pun on "mob doctor".
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He has even less presence in ''nirvanA Initiative'' than in the original, but [[spoiler:his TC-PERGE-addled ravings to Mizuki lead her to find the location of the test launch of the Nirvana Initaitve]].

* WalkingSpoiler: Iris' biological mother, and the true identity of the corpse Date sees in Mizuki's somnium and in the cold storage warehouse.

* ElectraComplex: He claims his reason for choosing Manaka as his first target was because she "stole" his dad from him. Then again, this is probably just an excuse.

* HateSink: The more you find out about Saito and everything that he did the more it becomes clear how much of a monster he is, and unlike Creator/SpikeChunsoft’s other villains he has neither comedic value nor redeeming qualities. Even when compared to the just-as-monstrous [[Franchise/{{Danganronpa}} Junko Enoshima]], he stands out.

** While she hates Tearer for killing her father, she ultimately believes that if she was around to support him more, he might not've been put into a position to get killed to begin with.

* WeaponOfChoice: Knockout gas is something she almost always has on hand, which she uses a couple of times.

* WeaponOfChoice: He often uses a [=M1=] rifle. He threatens Date with it a few times, and gets to use it during [[spoiler:the raid to rescue Iris.]]

!!!Voiced by: Creator/BradVenable (English, ''AI: The Somnium Files''), Austin Lee Matthews (English, ''nirvanA Initiative'')

* ShesGotLegs: Her outfit prominently displays her long, toned legs, and in her office she always sits on her desk and constantly switches which leg is crossed over the other, showing them off nicely.

A mermaid... maid working at Sunfish Pocket. She is a classmate of Iris's and particularly close with her, Kizuna, Mizuki, and Gen.

'''Amame:''' Well that doesn't sound very nice. It's more like... a way to exploit their vanity. To seperate our customers from their money as much as possible.\\

* NotSoAboveItAll: For all her maturity , ''nirvanA Initiative'' shows her having no problem engaging in petplay with Date in front of others. [[spoiler:Granted, this may be due to the long absence beforehand, but she clearly is enjoying herself as much as Date is.]]

** Also, [[spoiler:in the Annihilation route, a video of her killing So Sejima is found just before the route locks up. It transpires that's not really Boss but Saito in her body.]]
