* CerebusSyndrome: They're introduced as a cheerful and energetic {{Ska}} band, and the first few chapters of their band story in ''[=AAside=]'' , while do have some conflicts, are mostly lighthearted.

Then the story begins to showcase more things such as Fuuta's condition, Kouhei's DarkAndTroubledPast and his internal conflict, and the person Sakutaro, who turns out to be Fuuta's older brother and Kouhei's childhood best friend.]]

* FriendToAllChildren: He's shown to get along well with children, as seen in the first chapter of "Stand by me" song quest story, and the untrained art of his initial 4* card also shows him playing his guitar while surrounded by kids.

* FriendlyRivalry: Has shades of this with Reon. Although Argonavis and GYROAXIA are rivals, they're shown to be on a good term with each other, particularly in the game. They used to be friends and were in the same band together when they were in high school, but then drifted apart after Yuuto left the band. Although now they're in a different band and have to compete with one another in Live Royale Fes, they're also gradually rekindling their relationship, and even when they do express to each other their desire to be better than the other and realize their differences in their views and the kind of music they aim for, they also still genuinely care about one another.

[[folder:Yuto Goryo]]

The guitarist and leader of Argonavis. He is a first year literature student who was born in a well-known family in his hometown, with his father being a university professor and his elder brothers being doctors and lawyers. He was expected to follow the same path as his family, however, he hates it and chooses to find his own path. [[spoiler: During his high school years, he used to be in a band with Kenta, Reon, and later also Nayuta, however, the band ended up falling apart after he was told by Nayuta to drop out. Unable to give up on music, he decided to form a band that is an opposite to his previous band.]] He started to form Argonavis along with Wataru when he entered university.

* FriendlyRivalry: Has shades of this with Reon. Although Argonavis and GYROAXIA are rivals, they're shown to be on a good term with each other, particularly in the game. [[spoiler:They used to be friends and were in the same band together when they were in high school, but then drifted apart after Yuuto left the band.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Despite his positive and seemingly confident nature, [[spoiler: he thinks that he has terrible guitar skills, to the point that he almost ended up quitting Argonavis because he believed that he would drag the band down and someone else could be a better guitarist for the band than him.]]

* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:He used to be in a band with Nayuta, but the band ended up falling apart due to Nayuta’s dictatorial and egotistical attitude, along with their differing values. As a result, Yuto holds a grudge against Nayuta to the point where he initially refuses to perform for GYROAXIA’s opening act for one of their shows.]]

* NiceGuy: While a bit brash and impulsive at times, he's a friendly guy who's considerate and caring towards his friends, always willing to help others as much as he can, and wants the best for everyone in Argonavis. He also trusts Haruka and doesn't think that he's a bad person in "SILVER NOVA" event story, and in Argonavis band story chapter 6, [[spoiler: he can understand and even relate to Shu because despite his actions and behavior, he notices that Shu shares similar background and struggles with him.]]
* StartMyOwn: Yuuto’s entire motivation to form Argonavis. After [[spoiler: getting kicked out from his previous band along with having differences and conflicting views with Nayuta,]] he decided to form his own “ideal” band, and not only he wants it to be successful, but also can even surpass GYROAXIA.
* StepfordSmiler: HotBlooded, optimistic, and cheerful as he may be, [[spoiler:he’s actually very insecure about his skills and his place in Argonavis, as he feels that he was the reason for the disbandment of the band he was originally in, which also causes a deep trauma on him that still lingers even in the present time.]] This also shows through his character songs, "As Is Aru ga Mama de" and "Shining Rain" (the latter which is sung by his voice actor), which have poignant and bittersweet lyrics in contrast to his energetic and cheerful personality.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler:He used to be friends with Reon in high school and they were in the same band together, but after he left the band, they drifted apart and did not see each other again until Argonavis and GYROAXIA's encounter.

[[folder: Reon Misono]]

* FriendlyRivalry: Has shades of this with Yuuto. Although Argonavis and GYROAXIA are rivals, they're shown to be on a good term with each other, particularly in the game.

Though in their case, even though there's an awkwardness between them, they do actually still care about one another, and they also seem to gradually rekindle their relationship as seen in the game, even with them realizing their differences and the current circumstance of them being rivals.]]

* TerribleArtist: His drawing is...not particularly good. In the manga, he offers to draw the poster for Argonavis, and the result is a crudely drawn picture of the members. The rest of the members are not impressed.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Their songs are an aggressive Hard Rock with lyrics about being the top of the food chain and brooding themes such as parental abandonment, depression, and toxicity.

->'''Voiced by:''' Kei Minegishi

* WalkingSpoiler: It's quite difficult to talk about his character without bringing up his sadistic nature in the game stories.

* LeadBassist: [[spoiler: He was the lead bassist and vocalist of his old band he made with Yuuto and Reon, and later also Nayuta, during their high school years, until Yuuto left the band and Ryo joined the reformed band.]]

[[folder: Tadaomi Kurama]]

** In the "Insanity of reason" quest story, [[spoiler:not only does he attempt to tear a bird's wings off in hopes of finding inspiration for song lyrics, he attempts to ''break Tomoru's arm.'']]
** [[spoiler:In Chapter 4 of Fujin RIZING’s Band Story, he places "Sakutaro", Futa’s beloved saxophone, into the street just to see how he’d react, and he ends up getting excited by Futa’s horrified reaction.]]
* EmptyEyes: [[spoiler:Gets these during his more sadistic moments.]]

* SoftSpokenSadist: [[spoiler:When it comes down to it, Tadaomi can be just as sadistic as Shu and Kanata, finding a morbid fascination with people’s negative emotions (best seen when he places Futa’s saxophone into the street to get run over) while still retaining his quiet and polite demeanor.]]

* NiceGuy: Subverted. While he seems to be one of the more approachable members of GYROAXIA and a caring older brother to Wataru, he also has a cold attitude towards his bandmates, and even with Nayuta, he only appreciates him as a vocalist, not as a person. The colder side of him is particularly obvious in GYROAXIA prequel novel. [[spoiler: For example, in chapter 1 of the novel, Kenta admits to Miyuki that he deleted the video that Shinya, a past member, sent to Nayuta to convince him that he can return as the drummer of the band again, and said that Nayuta “doesn’t need noises like that.” Miyuki doesn’t take it well.]]

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: He's a darker and hostile copy of [[Anime/BangDream Yukina Minato's father]], both are vocalists and also are fathers of their respective franchise's rival band vocalists.

The vocalist of GYROAXIA. He has high expectations of his bandmates (who he actually shows little interest in otherwise) and won't hesitate to cut them off if they don't live up to them. He dislikes his father, who was a legendary musician, for abandoning him and his mother, and seemed to form GYROAXIA to get back at him.

* DelicateAndSickly: He has an asthma since childhood.

* {{Motifs}}: Constellations, which is further fueled by the fact that their band is named after one. They also have a prominent sailing motif, as their symbol is a sailboat.

* {{Bookworm}}: He's stated to love reading and is into novels and poetry.

-> '''Occupation:''' 1st year College Student (Business)

-> '''Occupation:''' 3rd year College Student (Management)

* ThrowItIn: In-Universe example. He has a tendency to ad-lib, much to Nayuta's chagrin.

* ProneToTears: Much like Aya and Himari from the original series, he cries a lot.

Shu is a {{Sadist}} who views the world as his “toy box,” Haruka has a seething hatred towards Kanata, a {{Yandere}} who enjoys making him suffer, Reiji is stuck as Shu’s personal slave, and Tadaomi's inability to understand human emotions makes him morally ambiguous.
