* ChekhovsGunman: Initially presented as an incidental scientist whose contributions to the plot are to point Ryuki toward Naix and then immediately die. As the game goes along, it becomes clear that he's directly responsible for Tearer being a threat and many of the problems the cast in their lives.

This is a far cry from the truth, as his death enrages both Shoma and Amame into trying to kill Tearer when he comes out of hiding six years later, with Shoma building an arsenal of thermite bombs to blow him to kingdom come while Amame turns his slicer against him.]]

Added DiffLines:

* DreamWeaver: Downplayed. His Somnium is full of involuntary symbolisms just like everybody else's, but he is able to block off one of the Somnium's doors with a dream antibody at the beginning, and later on performs a "reselection" to ''shuffle away'' some of the memories he doesn't want to dream about -- such that the one piece of info you ultimately scrounge is his involvement with Naixatloz. Either he has a very minor degree of dream lucidity, or he's somehow trained himself to resist this kind of interrogation.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Narcissist}}: His Somnium is chock-full of paeans to his own intelligence. There's a RunningGag throughout wherein he'll hammily and gleefully proclaim his own genius and "ecstasy" upon the success of a brain-combining 'experiment'... despite most of these being puzzles which ''Tama'' is solving and, moreover, her solving them being something he ''doesn't'' want (as it brings her closer to his secrets).

* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Handsome Son to Chikara, lacking both his father's ForeheadOfDoom and disregard for ethics, feeling horrible for what happened to Uru for his sake - [[HeelFaceDoorSlam and got fed into the splitting machine for his trouble]]. His more handsome appearance is justified, however - it's actually Uru's appearance, due to having had part of Uru's face cosmetically grafted onto him.

* SitcomArchnemesis: Gen is genial and nice to everyone. But talking about Ota and Matsushida Diner is enough to piss him off (at least as pissed off as he's capable of getting). And it's specifically about Ota, as Gen respects Ota's late father.

** Has a crush on Mizuki, his classmate, but vehemently denies it whenever she’s brought up in a conversation. [[spoiler:Due to circumstances causing him to age extremely slowly and pretty much shutting himself down from the outside world, he never pursues this. His crush seems to mostly fade away post-TimeSkip.]]
