Virus and Trip are long-time acquaintances of Aoba, having met during Aoba's adolescence. The pair look nearly identical, causing people to assume that they are twins. Virus is more polite than Trip and appears to be the more chatty of the two.
----
* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler:After he reveals himself to be one of the leaders of Morphine.]]
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Subverted. Their similar appearances are [[LampshadeHanging pointed out]] by Aoba and Koujaku, but both Virus and Trip explicitly state that they are not twins. They even have different birthdays in their intros.
* ButNotTooForeign: WordOfGod revealed that both he and Trip are half-British.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler: He and Trip are this to Toue, though in Ren's route they clarify that they're not loyal to him and are only sticking around for convenience's sake.]]
* ForTheEvulz: [[spoiler:Their primary motivation seems to be their interest in Aoba.]]
* FourEyesZeroSoul: [[spoiler: His genial and polite behavior hides his true personality, which is devoid of sympathy or any sense of morality.]]
* ItAmusedMe: His motivation for everything he does.
* {{Keigo}}: Virus always speaks in a poised and formal manner. For example, he always addresses Aoba as "Aoba-san".
* NoSell: [[spoiler: Both he and Trip are immune to the effects of Scrap, due to their eyes and ears being surgically replaced with ones that can detect whether Aoba and Sei will use their voice/eyes, and thus avoid being influenced by their mind-controlling abilities.]]
* PlatonicLifePartners: He's this with Trip, in a way. They've known each other since they were children, though as they have stated, they don't see themselves as friends, family, or even lovers; they're just together because they don't hate each other. Though Virus acknowledges that in some ways, they complement one another. Even though they do not regard themselves as close, they nevertheless don't mind [[spoiler:sharing Aoba with each other]].
* PunishmentBox: [[spoiler: He left Aoba in very small one for three days, because Aoba didn't want to "make a show" for him. Aoba is so traumatized by it that he obeys every command from then on, out of fear that Virus will put him in there again.]]
* SharpDressedMan: He wears a dark-blue suit and tie.
* ShonenHair: Although not identical to Trip's hairstyle.
* SnakesAreSexy: His [=AllMate=] is a black snake. [[spoiler: [[SnakesAreSinister He's often using it to abuse Aoba]]]].
* TheSociopath: [[spoiler:Virus (and Trip) fit this trope to a T. They're completely amoral, superficially charming, only seeking "fun and interesting things", and doing most anything they wish purely on impulse, all while being completely incapable of experiencing any sort of depth of emotion. It's all but stated within the game that they fall directly under this spectrum.]]
* SociopathicHero: [[spoiler: In Ren's good ending, he and Trip save Ren from the collapsing Oval Tower and drive him to the Midorijima hospital. Partially because they thought he was Sei, partially because "they were curious" and partially because "they just felt like it"]]. Aoba is understandably confused.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Very friendly and polite, which makes him all the more terrifying.
* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:Type B and C. Both Virus and Trip act and look friendly at first, but in ''re:connect'', Aoba describes them as [[EmptyShell empty shells]] who manipulate people for fun.]]
* StoicSpectacles: While Virus isn't stoic, per se, he is always calm and composed.

Virus and Trip are long-time acquaintances of Aoba, having met during Aoba's adolescence. They are very similar in appearance, despite not actually being twins. Trip is much more casual in his speech than Virus. He calls himself and Virus 'fans' of Aoba.

Aoba's grandmother, a tough, no-nonsense woman.
----
* ApronMatron: She doesn't take crap from anybody, but she's still a caring grandmother towards Aoba.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Tae was a researcher whose findings were used to give Aoba and Sei their mind-control powers. However, she didn't know that her research would be used by Toue for his DesignerBabies. She felt guilty about her research being used for this purpose and took an apparently still-born Aoba away so that he could have a proper burial.]]

* ButtMonkey: Rarely a scene with him goes by where he is not physically hurt or humiliated in some way.
* ChewingTheScenery[=/=]LargeHam[=/=]NoIndoorVoice: 99.9% of his lines are shouted at the top of his lungs. He is also fond of elongating his WOOOOOORDS FOR NOOOOOOO REASON!
* CorruptCop: Although it should be noted that most of the police force on Midorijima are also corrupt and super-violent.
* TheDreaded: The instant he starts speaking through his megaphone, anyone within earshot immediately makes a break for it.
* InspectorJavert: Played with, since he's not actually following the law; but when there's a supposed criminal on the loose, he'll go after them no matter what. Mink even lampshades his persistence.

Aoba's boss at Heibon. He's a fairly mild-mannered and easy-going person... most of the time.
----
* BenevolentBoss: He is genuinely kind to Aoba and appreciative of the latter's help.
* BerserkButton: He doesn't like being called baldy. ''At all.'' [[BrattyHalfPint Nao, Kio and Mio]] learn this the hard way.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Along with Tae and Yoshie, Haga is one of the few trustworthy older adults in Aoba's life. The three stay behind to distract the police when Akushima shows up at Aoba's house, allowing Aoba and co. to escape.
* TranquilFury: After being called [[BerserkButton 'baldy']] by one of the kids, while Haga doesn't go into an explosive fit then and there, it's obvious that he's holding himself back and is one more "baldy" away from actually blowing his top.

* BrattyHalfPint: They love popping into Heibon and wreaking havoc, much to the chagrin of both Aoba and Haga.
* FlatCharacter: They don't do much in the story except provide occasional PluckyComicRelief and annoy Aoba.
* NoIndoorVoice: Nao and Kio tend to be quite loud when they speak.
* PointlessBandaid: They all have one; Kio on his cheek, Nao on the bridge of his nose and Mio on her forehead.
* PrecociousCrush: Mio is implied to have one towards Noiz, [[spoiler:as she gives him a love letter in his good ending]].
* {{Tsundere}}: Hilariously, Mio is a Type A towards Noiz.
* WomenAreWiser: Mio seems to be tiring of her brother's antics near the end of Noiz's route.

* BunniesForCuteness: As its name implies, Pseudo Rabbit is a bunny-themed [=AllMate=]; and both their cube form and their avatar forms are adorably precious, especially with their cheerful personality.

* ADogNamedDog: Tori translates to "bird"; although this trope is subverted in that Mink didn't choose the name; he actually didn't bother naming his [=AllMate=] at all, and Aoba uses "Tori" to refer to the [=AllMate=] for lack of a better name.
* HeyYou: When Aoba tries to find out Tori's name, Tori states that Mink only refers to him by "Hey" or "You". [[spoiler: Even after giving his [=AllMate=] a name in his route, Mink continues to refer to his [=AllMate=] like he usually would.]]
* NoNameGiven: Mink never bothered to give his [=AllMate=] a name, although in ''re:connect'', Mink finally gives Tori a proper name: [[spoiler:Rulacane]].

He even goes so far as to turn tail and get the hell out of dodge when [[spoiler: Clara is about to figure out that he's now a human in ''re:connect'']].

The main villain of the game. Calm, collected, and charismatic, Toue is the head of his own self-titled corporation and the owner of Platinum Jail.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Zigzagged; while he's adored and loved by the inhabitants of Platinum Jail, everyone in the Old Resident District hates his guts.
* BigBad: Was anyone really surprised?
%%* ClassyCravat
* CompellingVoice: [[spoiler: Like Aoba, he can also manipulate others with his voice, though he acquired this power through artificial means (unlike Aoba and Sei, who were born with their abilities.]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's the founder and owner of Toue Corporation... which just so happens to also dabble in experiments that toy with (and often end up destroying, or subjugating) the human mind.
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Only in the anime. He shoots himself after Aoba defeats him at Rhyme during their confrontation in Oval Tower.]]
* ForScience: Toue will gladly dabble in all kinds of experiments that involve tampering with the human mind and finding new ways to manipulate a person’s consciousness. Even if it means getting unwitting test subjects or even [[spoiler: committing outright genocide]].
* GracefulLoser:
** [[spoiler:He's surprisingly this when Aoba defeats him in Rhyme in the true ending; he takes Aoba's victory as a sign that his plans ultimately weren't destined to work and exits stage left to let Aoba meet Sei.]]
** [[spoiler: In Mink's route, when his attempt to stop Mink from killing him with Scrap fails, he does nothing to resist when the latter goes in for the kill.]]
* HighClassGlass: In case the ClassyCravat isn't enough of an indicator of the man's status, Toue also wears a monocle, which further emphasizes his wealthy image.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When he knows he's truly lost, he immediately stands down.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: A downplayed example; Toue is only introduced by his surname in the visual novel, but the AnimatedAdaptation gives him a full name by introducing him as Tatsuo Toue.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: In one way or another, Toue is directly or indirectly involved with the main cast.
** [[spoiler: He created Aoba, Ren and Sei, along with Clear and the other Alphas.]]
** [[spoiler: He instigated the massacre of Mink's family.]]
** [[spoiler: He collaborated with Ryuuhou, who then started to experiment on mind control using his tattoos, with Koujaku as his first test subject.]]

%%* SharpDressedMan
* TheUnfought: He's never encountered in either Koujaku or Noiz's routes. While he makes an appearance in Clear's route, he disappears halfway through the climax and [[spoiler: the Alphas serve as the FinalBoss of the route]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: No matter which route the player takes [[spoiler: (except Mink's)]], no one really knows what exactly happened to him in the end, as the narration only states that his plans are ultimately thwarted.

He is a famous tattoo artist who chooses his customers, not the other way around. [[spoiler:He only appears in Koujaku's route, and also plays a heavy role in Koujaku's past.]]
----
* AffablyEvil: No matter the situation, he is always calm and speaks in a polite manner.
* {{Expy}}: Not in terms of appearance; but his tendencies as a SoftSpokenSadist with some hints of blood lust and [[spoiler: a particular obsession with a swordsman haunted by his past]] are similar to another love interest [[VisualNovel/LamentoBeyondTheVoid from a different Nitro+[=CHiRAL=] game]]. The fact that both characters are voiced by the same guy doesn't help.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:He dies smiling psychotically after being stabbed by Koujaku]].
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: By [[spoiler: Koujaku, in the latter's fit of rage, although he lets it happen.]]
* IWarnedYou: Ryuuhou says this to [[spoiler: Koujaku]] a few times regarding his reminder to never let his anger get the better of him lest [[spoiler: his tattoos consume his mind]].
* KarmaHoudini: Given that [[spoiler: he's only encountered in Koujaku's route, it can be surmised that Koujaku is never able to get revenge on him]] in any of the other routes.
* MadArtist: Ryuuhou is extremely passionate about his tattoos, and is all to happy to [[spoiler: even use them as part of an experiment in mind control]].
* MindControlDevice: The people pricked by his needles can be manipulated by him any time he wishes.
* PerpetualSmiler: His lips are always fixed in a gentle, albeit devious PsychoticSmirk. If he ever stops smiling, it's rare. And then there are the instances when his fox-like smile turns into a SlasherSmile...
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: He wears skeletons around his neck and wrists. Strangely enough, however, Aoba seems to forget this when he describes his likeness to [[spoiler: Koujaku]].

\\
The Alphas are androids created by Toue and act as his bodyguards.
----
* CainAndAbel: They serve as the Cain to [[spoiler: Clear]]'s Abel, given their respective allegiances and personalities. Not to mention, the Alphas also act rather antagonistic towards [[spoiler: Clear]] for being "defective".
* MagicMusic: The Alphas can subdue and hypnotize other people through a song called "Dye Music".
* MalevolentMaskedMen: They wear a white smiling mask over their faces in Noiz and Mink's routes. This is done to [[spoiler: conceal their connection to Clear]] from the player.
* TheQuietOne: Alpha 1 does most of the talking, and the player will only hear Alpha 2 speak ''once'' in the entire visual novel.
* TheUnfought: Besides [[spoiler: Clear]]'s route, the Alphas are briefly mentioned in passing in [[spoiler: Noiz's route and appear for a short while in Mink's]], but they're never directly confronted in either route.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Unlike [[spoiler: Clear]], the Alphas are malicious, condescending, and eager to support Toue in his plans of controlling the minds of everyone in Midorijima.

----
* ArtificialHuman: Both Sei and Aoba were genetically engineered by Toue.
* CastFromHitPoints: Implied. Sei is more experienced at using Scrap than his younger brother and is also more powerful than him with said ability. However, having to use it for a long period of time to further his creator’s plans have implied to take a heavy toll on him to the point that he would rather have the sweet mercy of death.
* DeathSeeker: After having been experimented on for years by Toue, Sei reaches out to Aoba so that the latter can "release" him.
* {{Determinator}}: He is this when it comes to his wish to be "destroyed" by Aoba -- Sei is very persistent in trying to reach out to his brother and make him come to Oval Tower.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: When Aoba first meets Sei, he wondered whether Sei is a woman or not.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: This is implied in the ending image, as the [=AllMates=] seem to love him.
* FrozenFace: Sei has a blank face most of the time. The only exceptions are when he fully shows himself to Aoba in Ren's route, and in his scenes in Mizuki's route in ''re:code''.
* HypnoticEyes: Being Aoba's twin, Sei shares the same mind-controlling abilities as his brother, but he uses Scrap through his eyes instead of his voice.
* LongLostRelative: Sei is Aoba's twin brother, who was SeparatedAtBirth and raised by Toue.
* MeaningfulName: "Sei" is a homophone of the word that mean "life" which reflects his power. It's also homophone with the kanji of "blue" as in "Ao" (蒼).
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Usui, who was created with a part of Sei's consciousness, has ten arms and is extremely powerful in Rhyme.
* PhlebotinumRebel: Toue probably didn't expect Sei to destroy ''the entire tower'' using the very power he was given by genetical engineering.
* PrettyBoy: Being Aoba's twin brother, it's a given that he's as good-looking as him.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: Unless the player takes Ren's route, Sei will never get a chance to talk to Aoba one more time before dying. That being said, he nevertheless still gives his life thwarting Toue's plans.
* TroubledFetalPosition: He is in this pose when Aoba first encounters him, although it was later revealed that it was not Sei in the flesh, but merely a projection of his consciousness.
* VirtualGhost: In Ren's good ending, it's implied that Sei or a part of his consciousness still exists in the network even a year after his death.
* WalkingSpoiler: Besides a ''very'' brief appearance in the other routes, Sei only properly shows up in the secret route. Just about every trope associated with him is a spoiler, since his very existence is intrinsically tied to Aoba's backstory, as well as Ren's.

* AdaptedOut: They don't show up, nor are they even mentioned, in the AnimatedAdaptation.
* ButNowIMustGo: Though they adopted Aoba and lived happily with him and Tae, they suddenly leave one day without leaving any clues as to where they're going or why they left.
* CoordinatedClothes: Both of them wear similarly-styled jackets and belts.
* IWillWaitForYou: Even years later, Aoba and Tae are still waiting for them to return home.
* PhlebotinumRebel: Naine was one of Toue's test subjects who managed to escape, which may explain his wanderlust.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: While Naine is commonly used, the character books spell his name as Nine.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Played with, since Haruka was only adopted by Tae, but they still share the same hair color.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Them leaving without any explanation resulted in Aoba's mental state destablising and Desire having to surface more often to help Aoba cope, resulting in Aoba's gritty teenage years.

----
* NiceGuy: Theo is kind and gentle, and wishes only the best for his brother. He even makes a good impression on Aoba.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Hairstyle aside, his face is almost exactly like Noiz's, which is why Aoba mistook Theo for his older brother when he passed by him (before actually properly meeting him in person).
* WhiteSheep: He's the only member of Noiz's family who never had any ill feelings towards the man. When Noiz was locked up in his room, Theo attempted to make contact with him multiple times, but was always stopped by their parents. Theo was even driven to TearsOfJoy when Noiz returned to reunite with his family.

Virus and Trip are long-time acquaintances of Aoba, having met during Aoba's adolescence. The pair look nearly identical, causing people to assume that they are twins. Virus is more polite than Trip and appears to be the more chatty of the two.
----

* ItAmusedMe: His motivation for everything he does.
* {{Keigo}}: Virus always speaks in a poised and formal manner. For example, he always addresses Aoba as "Aoba-san".
* NoSell: [[spoiler: Both he and Trip are immune to the effects of Scrap, due to their eyes and ears being surgically replaced with ones that can detect whether Aoba and Sei will use their voice/eyes, and thus avoid being influenced by their mind-controlling abilities.]]
* PlatonicLifePartners: He's this with Trip, in a way. They've known each other since they were children, though as they have stated, they don't see themselves as friends, family, or even lovers; they're just together because they don't hate each other. Though Virus acknowledges that in some ways, they complement one another. Even though they do not regard themselves as close, they nevertheless don't mind [[spoiler:sharing Aoba with each other]].
* PunishmentBox: [[spoiler: He left Aoba in very small one for three days, because Aoba didn't want to "make a show" for him. Aoba is so traumatized by it that he obeys every command from then on, out of fear that Virus will put him in there again.]]
* SharpDressedMan: He wears a dark-blue suit and tie.
* ShonenHair: Although not identical to Trip's hairstyle.
* SnakesAreSexy: His [=AllMate=] is a black snake. [[spoiler: [[SnakesAreSinister He's often using it to abuse Aoba]]]].
* TheSociopath: [[spoiler:Virus (and Trip) fit this trope to a T. They're completely amoral, superficially charming, only seeking "fun and interesting things", and doing most anything they wish purely on impulse, all while being completely incapable of experiencing any sort of depth of emotion. It's all but stated within the game that they fall directly under this spectrum.]]
* SociopathicHero: [[spoiler: In Ren's good ending, he and Trip save Ren from the collapsing Oval Tower and drive him to the Midorijima hospital.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's the founder and owner of Toue Corporation... which just so happens to also dabble in experiments that toy with (and often end up destroying, or subjugating) the human mind.
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Only in the anime. He shoots himself after Aoba defeats him at Rhyme during their confrontation in Oval Tower.]]
* ForScience: Toue will gladly dabble in all kinds of experiments that involve tampering with the human mind and finding new ways to manipulate a person’s consciousness. Even if it means getting unwitting test subjects or even [[spoiler: committing outright genocide]].
* GracefulLoser:
** [[spoiler:He's surprisingly this when Aoba defeats him in Rhyme in the true ending; he takes Aoba's victory as a sign that his plans ultimately weren't destined to work and exits stage left to let Aoba meet Sei.]]
** [[spoiler: In Mink's route, when his attempt to stop Mink from killing him with Scrap fails, he does nothing to resist when the latter goes in for the kill.]]
* HighClassGlass: In case the ClassyCravat isn't enough of an indicator of the man's status, Toue also wears a monocle, which further emphasizes his wealthy image.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When he knows he's truly lost, he immediately stands down.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: A downplayed example; Toue is only introduced by his surname in the visual novel, but the AnimatedAdaptation gives him a full name by introducing him as Tatsuo Toue.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: In one way or another, Toue is directly or indirectly involved with the main cast.
** [[spoiler: He created Aoba, Ren and Sei, along with Clear and the other Alphas.]]
** [[spoiler: He instigated the massacre of Mink's family.]]
** [[spoiler: He collaborated with Ryuuhou, who then started to experiment on mind control using his tattoos, with Koujaku as his first test subject.]]
** [[spoiler: He discovered Aoba's whereabouts from Noiz's Drive-By battle with Aoba.]]
%%* SharpDressedMan
* TheUnfought: He's never encountered in either Koujaku or Noiz's routes. While he makes an appearance in Clear's route, he disappears halfway through the climax and [[spoiler: the Alphas serve as the FinalBoss of the route]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: No matter which route the player takes [[spoiler: (except Mink's)]], no one really knows what exactly happened to him in the end, as the narration only states that his plans are ultimately thwarted.

\\
He is a famous tattoo artist who chooses his customers, not the other way around. [[spoiler:He only appears in Koujaku's route, and also plays a heavy role in Koujaku's past.]]
----
* AffablyEvil: No matter the situation, he is always calm and speaks in a polite manner.
* {{Expy}}: Not in terms of appearance; but his tendencies as a SoftSpokenSadist with some hints of blood lust and [[spoiler: a particular obsession with a swordsman haunted by his past]] are similar to another love interest [[VisualNovel/LamentoBeyondTheVoid from a different Nitro+[=CHiRAL=] game]]. The fact that both characters are voiced by the same guy doesn't help.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:He dies smiling psychotically after being stabbed by Koujaku]].
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: By [[spoiler: Koujaku, in the latter's fit of rage, although he lets it happen.]]
* IWarnedYou: Ryuuhou says this to [[spoiler: Koujaku]] a few times regarding his reminder to never let his anger get the better of him lest [[spoiler: his tattoos consume his mind]].
* KarmaHoudini: Given that [[spoiler: he's only encountered in Koujaku's route, it can be surmised that Koujaku is never able to get revenge on him]] in any of the other routes.
* MadArtist: Ryuuhou is extremely passionate about his tattoos, and is all to happy to [[spoiler: even use them as part of an experiment in mind control]].
* MindControlDevice: The people pricked by his needles can be manipulated by him any time he wishes.
* PerpetualSmiler: His lips are always fixed in a gentle, albeit devious PsychoticSmirk. If he ever stops smiling, it's rare. And then there are the instances when his fox-like smile turns into a SlasherSmile...
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: He wears skeletons around his neck and wrists. Strangely enough, however, Aoba seems to forget this when he describes his likeness to [[spoiler: Koujaku]].

\\
The Alphas are androids created by Toue and act as his bodyguards.
----
* CainAndAbel: They serve as the Cain to [[spoiler: Clear]]'s Abel, given their respective allegiances and personalities. Not to mention, the Alphas also act rather antagonistic towards [[spoiler: Clear]] for being "defective".
* MagicMusic: The Alphas can subdue and hypnotize other people through a song called "Dye Music".
* MalevolentMaskedMen: They wear a white smiling mask over their faces in Noiz and Mink's routes. This is done to [[spoiler: conceal their connection to Clear]] from the player.
* TheQuietOne: Alpha 1 does most of the talking, and the player will only hear Alpha 2 speak ''once'' in the entire visual novel.
* TheUnfought: Besides [[spoiler: Clear]]'s route, the Alphas are briefly mentioned in passing in [[spoiler: Noiz's route and appear for a short while in Mink's]], but they're never directly confronted in either route.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Unlike [[spoiler: Clear]], the Alphas are malicious, condescending, and eager to support Toue in his plans of controlling the minds of everyone in Midorijima.

----
* ArtificialHuman: Both Sei and Aoba were genetically engineered by Toue.
* CastFromHitPoints: Implied. Sei is more experienced at using Scrap than his younger brother and is also more powerful than him with said ability. However, having to use it for a long period of time to further his creator’s plans have implied to take a heavy toll on him to the point that he would rather have the sweet mercy of death.
* DeathSeeker: After having been experimented on for years by Toue, Sei reaches out to Aoba so that the latter can "release" him.
* {{Determinator}}: He is this when it comes to his wish to be "destroyed" by Aoba -- Sei is very persistent in trying to reach out to his brother and make him come to Oval Tower.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: When Aoba first meets Sei, he wondered whether Sei is a woman or not.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: This is implied in the ending image, as the [=AllMates=] seem to love him.
* FrozenFace: Sei has a blank face most of the time. The only exceptions are when he fully shows himself to Aoba in Ren's route, and in his scenes in Mizuki's route in ''re:code''.
* HypnoticEyes: Being Aoba's twin, Sei shares the same mind-controlling abilities as his brother, but he uses Scrap through his eyes instead of his voice.
* LongLostRelative: Sei is Aoba's twin brother, who was SeparatedAtBirth and raised by Toue.
* MeaningfulName: "Sei" is a homophone of the word that mean "life" which reflects his power. It's also homophone with the kanji of "blue" as in "Ao" (蒼).
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Usui, who was created with a part of Sei's consciousness, has ten arms and is extremely powerful in Rhyme.
* PhlebotinumRebel: Toue probably didn't expect Sei to destroy ''the entire tower'' using the very power he was given by genetical engineering.
* PrettyBoy: Being Aoba's twin brother, it's a given that he's as good-looking as him.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: Unless the player takes Ren's route, Sei will never get a chance to talk to Aoba one more time before dying. That being said, he nevertheless still gives his life thwarting Toue's plans.
* TroubledFetalPosition: He is in this pose when Aoba first encounters him, although it was later revealed that it was not Sei in the flesh, but merely a projection of his consciousness.
* VirtualGhost: In Ren's good ending, it's implied that Sei or a part of his consciousness still exists in the network even a year after his death.
* WalkingSpoiler: Besides a ''very'' brief appearance in the other routes, Sei only properly shows up in the secret route. Just about every trope associated with him is a spoiler, since his very existence is intrinsically tied to Aoba's backstory, as well as Ren's.

!! '''Others'''
[[folder:Naine and Haruka Seragaki -- '''Warning: Walking Spoiler''']]

'''Haruka voiced by''': Emi Motoi
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dmmd_naine_haruka_3.png]]
\\
Aoba's adoptive parents. They adopted Aoba after Naine saw him on the beach.
----
* AdaptedOut: They don't show up, nor are they even mentioned, in the AnimatedAdaptation.
* ButNowIMustGo: Though they adopted Aoba and lived happily with him and Tae, they suddenly leave one day without leaving any clues as to where they're going or why they left.
* CoordinatedClothes: Both of them wear similarly-styled jackets and belts.
* IWillWaitForYou: Even years later, Aoba and Tae are still waiting for them to return home.
* PhlebotinumRebel: Naine was one of Toue's test subjects who managed to escape, which may explain his wanderlust.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: While Naine is commonly used, the character books spell his name as Nine.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Played with, since Haruka was only adopted by Tae, but they still share the same hair color.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Them leaving without any explanation resulted in Aoba's mental state destablising and Desire having to surface more often to help Aoba cope, resulting in Aoba's gritty teenage years.

[[folder:Theodore "Theo"]]
!!! '''Voiced by''': Creator/SomaSaito
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dmmd_theo_7.png]]
\\
Noiz's younger brother. He only appears in the drama CD, which takes place after the events of Noiz's good route in ''re:connect'', although he was briefly mentioned in the first game.
----
* NiceGuy: Theo is kind and gentle, and wishes only the best for his brother. He even makes a good impression on Aoba.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Hairstyle aside, his face is almost exactly like Noiz's, which is why Aoba mistook Theo for his older brother when he passed by him (before actually properly meeting him in person).
* WhiteSheep: He's the only member of Noiz's family who never had any ill feelings towards the man. When Noiz was locked up in his room, Theo attempted to make contact with him multiple times, but was always stopped by their parents. Theo was even driven to TearsOfJoy when Noiz returned to reunite with his family.
