* [[spoiler:JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope]]

** [[spoiler:<a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=402372630">It's literally his screen name</a>.]]

* [[spoiler:BodySnatcher]]: In ''VisualNovel/AreaX'', it's revealed that [[spoiler:though the body is indeed Emma's daughter, Essi is mentally Ceria's daughter who was displaced into this dimension, resulting in the sudden development of psychic powers (Ceria's Essi had them; Emma's daughter originally didn't)]].

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: In ''VisualNovel/AreaX'', it's revealed that she was this to [[spoiler:her big sister, who devoted her life to Essi. This role was then passed down onto Rexus, whom Essi now serves as this for]].

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: When he was a kid. It's especially obvious in VisualNovel/AreaX.

* ParentalNeglect: [[spoiler:He's always been overlooked by his father in favour of his brother--first, because his brother was ill, and then again because his brother lived at the institute where their father was working (while Yuon was sent away for his own good), and then once more because his brother died, leaving his father unable to cope with the grief. Even afterwards, his father admits that he doesn't know how to talk to Yuon anymore and fears that Yuon blames him for everything. VisualNovel/AreaX shows Elcia trying to help them re-connect, but Yuon's route makes it clear that it doesn't work out.]]

* EveryGirlIsCuterWithHairDecs: Her long ribbons.

* BirdsOfAFeather: With Essi. Essi even thinks that they enjoy each other's company because [[LonelyTogether they share the same kind of lonliness.]]

* [[spoiler:WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: As well as being a StoicWoobie.]]

* [[spoiler:Adorkable: Revealed to be such later on in his route.]]

* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: He actually ''inherits'' Xen Institute from his father, as his mother died when he was young.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Yuon's mother died when he was very young, and his relationship with his father has been poor ever since they both got news of his older brother's death. Since then Yuon has buried himself in academics and chess in order to fill the void left behind. His inablility to connect to his father also led to an inability to connect with others, leaving him as the SociallyAwkwardHero that he is. Heck, even at the beginning of the game, he states that his main motivation behind solving Scid's murder isn't to find his father's killer, but to clear the police's suspicion of him as the culprit.]]
* [[spoiler:ForgottenChildhoodFriend]]

* MissingMom: [[PosthumousCharacter She's dead.]]

* [[spoiler:BehindTheMask: Oure wears a cheery disposition when he talks to Essi, but in truth, he is very upset and resentful of his situation.]]

* [[spoiler:{{Escapism}}: Oure's AstralProjection manifests because of a desire to escape the restrictions of [[IllGirl his physical body]].]]
* [[spoiler:ForgottenChildhoodFriend]]

* [[spoiler:HalfTruth: He is telling the truth to Essi about not heing able to leave Xen Institute, but he fails to mention that he literally cannot move anywhere beyond the corridors.]]

* [[spoiler:BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: His relationship with Oure when the two were younger.]]
* [[spoiler:BehindTheMask: Hides his original personality: a void.]]

* [[spoiler:DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Gets these whenever his other more cynical personality takes over.]]
* [[spoiler:ForgottenChildhoodFriend]]

* [[spoiler:{{Revenge}}: His most glaring flaw. His despair over losing his first son led him to blame and cruelly torture X, meanwhile creating a rift between him and his remaining son. Even worse, it's hinted that he might have had some involvement in orchestrating Emma's death because she spoke out against his methods and attempted to take X away from him, though this question is left unanswered.]]

* [[spoiler:BerserkButton: Hurting Oure. Ironically, he shares that same button with Scid.]]
* [[spoiler:BreakTheCutie: The full X-Note basically contains the story of how he was broken.]]

* [[spoiler:SingleIssuePsychology: Averted. Though he does mainly suffer from PTSD, the other things he was subjected to in his childhood also damage his psyche severely.]]

* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: [[spoiler:Subverted. With his completely white-clad WhiteHairedPrettyBoy status, news of his death ten years ago, and his disappearance in the middle of his route, you'd be forgiven for thinking that he was actually a ghost.]]

* AntiHero

* MeaningfulName: As a PlayfulHacker who is always found in the computer lab, and spends his time on forums to discover new gossip and information, "Anon" fits well enough. [[spoiler:Even more so, his name refers to his lack of identity, and the emptiness he feels when thinking about who he is and where he came from.]] [[color:white:This also hints at him being the "unknown" or X.]]

* [[spoiler:RepressedMemories: As well as him having a great disconnection between all of his collective memories, leading to his QuestForIdentity in the first place.]] [[color:white:However, even though it's repressed, he still subconsciously remembers that torture that Scid subjected him to.]]

A mysterious boy that appears in Essi's dreams, and is connected to her mother's death. His name, given to him by the founders of Xen Institute, is also used in naming the X-Note. [[color:white:Currently, he has taken on the identity "Anon".]]

A playfully annoying student whom Essi meets during her visit to the computer lab, Anon takes great pleasure in tormenting Essi for his own personal enjoyment. He is also a skilled hacker and spends his time in the computer lab digging up info about the institute and other students as well. He offers to help Essi in her investigation whenever she needs it, though she often finds him to be obnoxious to work with most of the time. [[color:white:He is the boy named "X".]]

* [[spoiler:[[DeadLittleBrother Dead Older Brother]]: He does experience trauma from his older brother's tragic death, but his father dealt with the situation a lot worse.]]

* TallDarkAndBishoujo

* TallDarkAndBishoujo: Like mother, like daughter.

* HairOfGold

* EyesOfGold

* [[spoiler:WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: As well as being a StoicWoobie.]]

* {{Dandere}}

* {{Bishoujo}}

* [[spoiler:ButNowIMustGo: Late in his route, he fades away in front of Essi, then comes back to spend some of his final moments with her. In the BadEnding, he stays gone. In the denouement of the GoodEnding, there is a {{Flashback}} to when he is fading away the second time. Essi catches him as he is fading in the middle of the night, and he manages to get in a few last words. He tells her that he won't say good-bye, because he believes that they will meet again one day.]]

* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: He actually ''inherits'' Xen Institute from his father, as his mother was died when he was young.

** [[spoiler:He even states that he was planning on getting rid of Oure once he got older, but couldn't bare to do it because [[CuteShotaroBoy he looked so youthful]].]]

* CuteShotaroBoy

* [[spoiler:DrivenByEnvy: Suggested by Anon in his confrontation with Loil in his BadEnding. Children, psychics, those with special minds-Anon suggests that Loil pursues them because he is envious of those things. He had been fascinated by children because he couldn't return to his own childhood, and he never possessed psychic powers or a special mind.]]

* [[spoiler:ManipulativeBastard: Very much so; he uses the children in the facility for his own gain, concealing Oure's comatose state from the others in the facility, and manipulates Yuon and Essi in his route. He is also pretty much responsible for getting the other founders to turn on each other, though it's hard to say that Scid wouldn't have tortured X for putting his son in a coma either.]]

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: X suffers from ''many'' problems as a child, the most prominent being [[spoiler:post-traumatic stress disorder]]. Then there's the matter of his psychic powers... [[spoiler:His psychic abilities led to him being subject to violent bullying, then caused him to lose the only friend he had when the PowerIncontinence in his RoaringRampageOfRevenge kicked in, ''then'' led to him being subjected to ColdBloodedTorture, and on top of all of that he ended up with SurvivorGuilt after not doing anything to save Essi's mom, leading to his BungledSuicide. Yep, this kid's behavior is pretty justified.]]

* [[spoiler:PowerIncontinence: He has difficulty controlling his powers for the most part, as the tend to manifest unconsciously. However, his emotions and the amount of control he has over them also result in this, so he is at least aware of what he's doing when this happens.]]

* SincerestFormOfFlattery: She states that she became a psychiatrist, like Essi's mother, out of her admiration for her. However, she lacked the talent that was needed to succeed in that field, and so, she became just another teacher at Xen Institute.

* TokenShota
