* CannotTellALie: One of the few rules they actually have to follow is that they can not lie to the participants. That said, most of them try and circumvent this with careful wording or simply not speaking up unless someoen directly asks them. During the second sub-game, Keiji catches on to their act and uses that to get [[spoiler: Rio to admit there is a fake Reko]].
* EvilIsPetty: PlayedForDrama. Some of the biggest tragedies in this game happen either because a Floor Master wanted amusement (Miley/Midori), jealousy (Rio) or were plain ''offended'' by a participant's existence (Reception Doll) rather than any real fault of the main cast themselves. The only one that seems to avoid this is Safalin, but its less of her having stronger morals and more of just her own submissive personality and cowardice that prevents her from acting out.

* HumanAllAlong: While all try to present themselves as living robotic Dolls, Safalin, Miley and the Reception Doll are merely humans pretending to be them. Averted with Rio and Midori who are actually Dolls. [[spoiler: Well, as revealed in Russian Roulette, Midori's case is a bit more complicated than expected...]]

[[folder:In General]]
The Floor Masters are Dolls that are tasked to govern the floor/floors that the participants find themselves in prior to their participation in the Main Game. They are responsible for hosting the participants that make it to their floor, ranging from answering questions they might have to overseeing the sub-games that take place prior to the Main Game.

* ArcVillain: Sue Miley for Chapter 1, Rio for chapter 2-1, the Reception Doll for 2-2 and Midori for 3-1. Tia officially shares her Floor Master status with Rio, but her meek personality usually has her partner call the shots instead.

* FauxAffablyEvil: While they try to maintain an air of politeness, it gradually becomes quite clear its nothing more than a thin facade to mask their cruelty and sadism. Even those like Tia or the Reception Doll have their moments that show they're not that much better than Miley, Rio and, especially, Midori.
* {{Jerkass}}: '''All of them'''. Given that their running a death game it's to be expected that they aren't the nicest people around, but all of them have moments (some more than others), were they take it upon themselves to actively antagonize and hurt the participants, be it mentally or physically. Usually mentally, but it doesn't stop some from trying to indirectly get the some of the cast killed.
* [[spoiler:KarmicDeath]]:[[spoiler: After spending their time actively tormenting the partipants, both Rio and Midori end up getting killed during the Death Games, with Rio being executed by Gashu for killing one of the Yabusame's and Midori ends up losing Rusian Roulette to the survivors]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: It doesn't happy too often, but throughout the Death Game the Floor Masters, especially those who take active sadistic glee in messing with the survivors, do suffer some form of payback as the game goes on for their sins. This can range from Miley getting struck in the face with a pan after tormenting Kanna [[spoiler: for getting her sister killed]] or even as far as [[spoiler: the participants, after spending the first of the 3rd chapter toyed about by Midori, finally pull one over on him to get him killed in Russian Roulette]].

* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:Implied by Kai's mini episode, and NOT one treated well. Gashu had adopted a second son, Sei, after the death of another member of the organization, who bears a blatant resemblance to Ranger both in appearance and, though less extreme, bad attitude.]]



* YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite looking and acting like a young adult, it's implied he was only activated shortly before the Death Game started.

Added DiffLines:

** [[spoiler:Kai's episode shows that he used to be a LITTLE better, willing to show his sons affection and make them cakes, but even then was still brutal in training Kai and Sei in the ways of assassination. What underlying kindness he had in him, however, was browbeaten out of him by being forced to place them both in a killing game to determine Asunaro's top assassin.]]


Added DiffLines:

* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Being forced to put his biological and adoptive sons in the way of certain death, knowing only one would be allowed to survive, utterly broke him. Already a devoted soldier of Asunaro, when this moment came, he lost all vestiges of affection and kindness that were once underlying in his actions, becoming thoroughly, coldly loyal to a cause he was broken into seeing as truly divine. May be why he gained an inclination to become a HopeCrusher. Really, it's quite telling that prior to this moment, he thought about Kai extremely often and, ultimately, frequently acted in what he thought was his best interests, while during the game proper, he never so much as MENTIONS his now-dead son.]]

* CheatersNeverProsper: [[spoiler: The second Main Game is basically the cast trying to enforce this on him. It then gets cruelly, horribly defied when Gashu shoots himself just to ensure that the cast doesn't get ''an extra day to live''.]]


Added DiffLines:

* FatalFlaw: His fear of death. The game is nominally supposed to be as fair as possible, but any time events start shifting in a way that might not lead to Midori being the winner, he can't help himself from trying to turn the tides back in his favor. Eventually Sara realizes this and is able to exploit it against him.

* FalseReassurance: [[spoiler: Should Kanna be voted for she attempts to quell everyone's pleas to let Kanna live by saying she won't feel a thing as she experiences her CruelAndUnusualDeath, but as it commences it's pretty clear that the poor girl's terrified and feeling plenty of pain.]]

[[folder:Sue Miley/Hoemy]]
!!Sue Miley/Hoemy/[[spoiler:Emiri Harai]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sue_1.png]]
The "Laughing Doll" Sue Miley. She is the Floor Master of the first and second floors, delightfully cruel and sadistic, she guides the survivors of the First Trial and teaches them about the First Main Game, over which she presides.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: A downplayed variant in the manga, but in addition to being a GigglingVillain, she's also FauxAffablyEvil and TheTease to the survivors. She even goes as far as kissing Reko's collar, and holding Mishima's face against her chest.
* ArcVillain: Of chapter 1 as a whole, particularly 1-2.
* BreakingSpeech:
** Delivers one to Kanna after the Test Vote, exploiting her fear that [[FailureToSaveMurder that she could have saved her sister]] by insisting it was fully possible.
** Later does the same to [[spoiler:Sara after Joe's death]].
* CruelMercy: Her modus operandi. She offers Sara what ''appears'' to be a chance to [[spoiler:save Joe]], but is really [[spoiler:just a way to extend his suffering further and leave her feeling more responsible for his death]]. She's also the one to tell [[spoiler:Shin about the survival rates in his first trial, which seems to give him a chance to save himself by becoming Sou, but which really just makes it hard for him to cooperate with the group out of his own mistrust.]]
* DemotedToExtra: After chapter 1 ends, the cast is no longer on her floor. She does still reappear a handful of times throughout chapter 2, but they're much briefer. Her sole appearance in chapter 3-1, meanwhile, isn't in person, but rather a dossier revealing elements of her backstory.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Gleefully cruel to the cast, but it's clear from her actions that she's up to ''something'' that doesn't quite align with the interests of all of the game staff. [[spoiler:During the second chapter, her sole in-person appearance during 2-1 has her giving Sara the full version of the simulation statistics, which Gashu was taken back by after finding out she'd done it. She wanted Rio Ranger's chip under the pretext of it being a risk to the game's security, but its use to form an escape route was ultimately useless to the cast, as she must have already known[[note]]Though it's also possible she [[BluffTheEavesdropper knew she was being overheard at the time.]][[/note]]. Lastly, her final appearance in 2-2 is immediately before the main game to tell the entire cast that Gashu interfered with it, demonstrating that she's opposed to his vision for the game.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Chapter 3-1B reveals [[spoiler:she wanted to marry one of her coworkers, causing Asunaro to declare him an obstacle to recruiting her and decide to drive him mad]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Despite being a rather cruel person, she greatly disapproves of Gashu's bending of the rules to his favor, giving a major hint that he had changed something to the main cast before being cut off.]]
* EvilGloating: She enjoys gloating over the deaths of the victims of the games, taunting the survivors for being unable to save their murdered friends.
* GigglingVillain: As befitting her name, a lot of her dialogue is peppered with laughter. At one point, she's so consumed with laughter over {{Troll}}ing the participants that it takes a bit for her to catch her breath and continue her spiel.
* HateSink: While she is far from the worst Floor Master she is still a horrible and cruel person … [[spoiler: especially after she tricks Sara into giving Joe a more painful death.]]
* HopeCrusher: She ''loves'' giving people hope only to take it away it soon after.
* HumanAllAlong: Interesting and early-revealed example, but her bleeding [[spoiler:when struck by Kai]], especially later contrasted with the BloodlessCarnage of [[spoiler:Fake Reko and Ranger]], makes it clear she's flesh and blood. Nobody really ever bought that she was a doll because of this early incident, or really seems to entertain it with the others afterwards.
* PunnyName: Sue Miley, the Laughing Doll, referencing her near-constant beaming. (Her Japanese name, Hoemy, uses similar wordplay.) [[spoiler:Her real surname can also be pronounced as 'warai' - 'laughing'.]]
* {{Sadist}}: She's a rather unabashed one at that, delightfully doing things to make the cast feel despair in all sorts of ways.
* {{Troll}}: She says and does things to upset the cast and get under their nerves for no other reason than she can.
* VerbalTic: She happens to laugh a lot near the beginning or end of her sentences.
* VillainRevealsTheSecret: Gleefully takes advantage of how Mishima, Sara and Joe misled Kanna about the nature of their shared First Test to try and ''shatter'' her trust in them.
** In her last appearance in 2-2, [[spoiler: she invades Gashu's transmission to call him out (and thus alert the cast) on breaking the Main Game's rules, though she gets cut off before she can reveal exactly what he did.]]

[[folder:Rio Ranger/Toto Noel]]
!!Rio Ranger/Toto Noel ([[spoiler:later Rio Laizer/Coco Roel]])
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rio_0.png]]
The "Dressup Doll" Rio Ranger, Vice Floor Master of the third floor with Tia Safalin. He is noted for his rather abrasive and callous personality, he looks down upon humans and he makes a point of wearing articles of clothing of the deceased.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: He appears at the end of Sara and Joe's First Trial to watch them fall down a pit in the manga adaptation, while in the game, he first shows up at the beginning of Chapter 2.
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: Both Gashu, his ''father'', shooting him and discarding him as trash, and his last moments as Rio Laizer are both portrayed somewhat sympathetically, with Gin admitting he some degree of sadness for him in his last moments.]]
* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler:In Ranger's first sympathetic point, he begs his father, ''who just shot him'' to fix him, claiming to be his masterpiece. Gashu responds by calling him a failure and kicking off his head.]]
* ArcVillain: Of chapter 2-1.
* ArtificialHuman: One of two Floor Master dolls that are actually non-human.
* ArtificialFamilyMember: [[spoiler: Due to having the same "Father" (even referring to him as such) Ranger is technically the son of Gashu and the brother of Kai.]]
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Ranger spent most of his life being a sadistic, cruel, awful person who did nothing but make people's lives worse. However, this is largely because he ''lacks the capacity'' to think or experience any positive emotions. When he does get the ability to feel empathy, he's horrified with his actions.]]
* BerserkButton: [[spoiler: 3-1B shows an A.I. copy of Ranger be brought into Maple's amalgamation, where it's revealed that if the Q-Taro urges him to switch sides, he freaks out a bit and gets pissed off as a result.]]
* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: How he ultimately meets his end, though he hangs for a bit longer.]]
* CharacterTic: He uses signs to display certain emotions and mock the survivors of the Death Game, and almost always keeps his mouth obscured.
* CoDragons: With Tia Safalin.
* CreepyCrossdresser: Double subverted. The participants are not as bothered about him wearing a skirt as they are about the fact that he got it from a dead girl.
* DesecratingTheDead: Robs the corpses of freshly killed participants of the Death Game and takes a piece of their clothing as his own.
* EyeColorChange: Whenever he's being particularly deranged, his eyes turn into a mix of brown, grey and black.
* {{Freudian Trio}}: With the other floor masters, he's the crude and abrasive Id to Tia's Ego and Gashu's Superego.
* FairPlayVillain: Technically played straight, as his floor allows everyone to survive with no cheating involved, much to his annoyance. Even when he attempts to hide this fact, Tia Safalin steps in and explains what he would refuse to. [[spoiler: When he callously decides to no longer play by the rules, Gashu retaliates by shooting him.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: Seeing how cruelly Rio Ranger treats humans, Sara comes to the conclusion that he hates them due to envying them. [[spoiler:Indeed, his father installed in him a sense of inferiority to humans which drives everything he does.]]
* HairTriggerTemper: Gets pissed off rather easily no matter how he's approached by other people.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: His whole demeanor towards humans stems from the fact [[spoiler: He's envious of them.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Though none of the floor masters are nice people, Ranger is easily the cruelest of the lot, reveling in it in a way only Miley really comes close to. [[spoiler:On one route, he's even the only floor master to actually directly kill somebody, murdering Alice gleefully with his own doll-robot-sister's head if the player chose to push her to her death in the Impression Room.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:He needlessly kills Alice for no reason at all in one route after driving him into a rage by saying they killed Reko already, and proceeds to not let Reko go free until after Alice is mortally wounded (and depending if Sara got the bongos for Alice or not, will not be able to reconcile with him.) And in another route, he provides a knife that Doll Reko kills the real Reko with. However, in both these routes, his actions lead to his death soon after.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: While all Floor Masters have some level of this, Ranger's is notable in that he revels in it and is the most explicit about how little he cares for the lives of humans. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that his capacity for empathy was removed.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: How his last moments are spent once Safalin properly installs a sense of empathy into him.]]
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Due to his personality as a rude, caustic, and unpleasant person, he qualifies as the Mean to Gashu's Nice and Tia's In Between.
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler: Gashu ''kicks'' his head off after shooting him.]]
* PunnyName: Rio Ranger = 'Re-arranger'; Toto Noel is a play on 'Put in order/rearrange'. [[spoiler:Realizer and Coco Roel ("to gain a heart," basically), what his name becomes when he gains a full set of human emotions, refer to the state of [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horrified reflection]] in which he spends his final living moments.]]
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Rio Ranger is nearly indistinguishable from a human, his eccentricities and FantasticRacism towards humans being the only real giveaways that he's not.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Tia's Blue, due to being loud, impulsive and chaotic between the two.
* RobbingTheDead: His outfit consists largely of clothes and accessories of people killed over the course of the game, including [[PosthumousCharacter those who never showed up]]. [[spoiler:His wearing clothing of the deceased isn't just to mock the survivors, it's because he envies them.]]
* RummageSaleReject: Due to, again, his outfit consisting mainly of clothes swiped from those killed off in the game. [[spoiler:One video shows him wearing much simpler attire while mocking one of the first eliminated.]]
* {{Sadist}}: Much like Sue Miley, Ranger delights in causing anguish in other people, unlike Sue Miley, he goes much further in his sadistic tendencies. [[spoiler:Despite being in the game for much shorter.]]
* SirSwearsalot: He has a particularly nasty mouth, taking to calling humans "Bastards" at every possible opportunity.
* TearsOfRemorse: [[spoiler:Shortly before he deactivates for good, and after the compassion and kindness he was meant to have is restored, he's shown weeping over all the cruel murders he's committed.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Anyone looking at his sprite for a bit will realize he's wearing [[spoiler:Joe's hair pin, Mishima's tie and Kai's apron, all of which indicate these three won't get past the first chapter.]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite looking and acting like a young adult, it's implied he was only activated shortly before the Death Game started.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: During Hinako's first trial, annoyed that she hasn't struggled or put up any resistance, he shows up to taunt her, just to get some kind of response out of her. Rather than feeling mortified or regretful, [[DeathSeeker she thanks him]]. This infuriates him to the point that he starts ''beating her corpse'' and screaming at her to suffer.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Why Gashu kills him.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tia Safalin/Hannaki]]
!!Tia Safalin/Hannaki/[[spoiler:Michiru Namida]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tia_6.png]]
The "Crying Doll" Tia Safalin, Vice Floor Master of the third floor with Rio Ranger. Teary eyed and much more hospitable than her partner, Tia Safalin also runs the medical office, offering her service to help those in physical or psychological distress.

* BadLiar: [[spoiler:When she's encountered again in 3-1B, her statements are easily seen through and puts her in a bit of a ButtMonkey position.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She seems rather nice compared to the two other Floor Masters we've seen, and while she isn't the ''worst'' of them, it's clear that she's still a rather cruel person who's interested in her own well being rather than anyone else's.
* CoDragons: To [[spoiler:Gashu Satou, the real master of floor three]], with Rio Ranger. The floor masters in general are also, naturally, in this role to whoever is overseeing and running the game.
* EyeColorChange: Like Ranger, her eyes change color when her sadism is full blown, at which point her eyes become a spiral mix of red and green.
* FalseReassurance: [[spoiler: Should Kanna be voted for she attempts to quell everyone's pleas to let Kanna live by saying she won't feel a thing as she experiences her CruelAndUnusualDeath, but as it commences it's pretty clear that the poor girl's terrified and feeling plenty of pain.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Pretty shamelessly wants the cast to keep playing the Main Games (particularly as it's later stated that her own life depends on the game proceeding properly,) but that doesn't mean she won't be hospitable about it. When questioned on her loyalty [[spoiler:on the Kanna death route]], though, she makes clear that she is ''only'' being hospitable because she was ordered to, by who is heavily implied to have been [[spoiler:Gashu.]] Possibly subverted (who knows?), however, [[spoiler:by her part in 3-1. As of the end of the chapter, there isn't a clear menacing reason for why she would aid in disguising Q-Taro's death and ensuring Midori's.]] She's hard to figure out.
* ForScience: Described as a diehard researcher [[spoiler:in Asunaro's recruitment dossier. It's noted that the mere promise of an ideal environment would be enough to convince her to join them.]]
* {{Freudian Trio}}: With the other floor masters, she's the in-between Ego to Ranger's Id and Gashu's Superego.
* HumanAllAlong: Like with Miley, though with her this is revealed in a more downplayed fashion, cutting her hand and showing it bleeds to demonstrate the floor's medical facilities.
* TheMedic: Runs the medical office in addition to being a Floor Master, offering all her supplies to the participants should they need them.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The In Between for Gashu and Ranger, being generally affable and helpful, but not without her moments of cruelty.
* PetTheDog:
** Subverted. [[spoiler: Her act of helping Sara with her hallucinations can end up with Sara being addicted to the machine that rids her of them, delightfully grinning and wanting her to do exactly as she says from then on. Her offer of wiping away negative memories from Reko/Alice seems nice, but the end result is someone who disregards the loved one's death and is more of a way to have them continue in the Death Game than helping them emotionally; after Alice takes it, even a chapter later Sara is still concerned about the implications. Lastly, her act of giving Rio Laizer his empathy only served to make him feel great regret and remorse for what he's done, dooming him to spending his last moments being absolutely miserable.]]
** A later example plays it straighter, lending further mystery to her motivations. [[spoiler:She's perfectly willing to aid Q-Taro in his ThanatosGambit, quietly supplying him with a doll double to take up his place as he dies in Keiji's coffin. This plays a critical role in defeating Midori. Before that, when Keiji and co. propose the banquet to her, she's genuinely horrified, warning them that, far from the perfect solution they believe it to be, it's going to be a bloodbath.]]
* PunchClockVillain: Though she's not necessarily a good person, as seen by many of the other tropes on this page, she's not actively hostile or deceptive towards the characters either, for the most part, and in general her research and work environment seems to be her primary source of loyalty to her role in the game and organization.
* PunnyName: Tia Safalin sounds similar to 'Tears are falling'. Hannaki means 'Half-crying/on the verge of tears'. [[spoiler:Namida means 'tears'.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Ranger's Red, being the more calm, composed, and gently spoken between the two.
* {{Sadist}}: In comparison Sue Miley's own unfiltered sadistic glee present when she does most things, this seems rather subdued. But nonetheless, Safalin has her sporadic moments of blatant sadism.
* SherlockScan: She can tell Sara's mental state and the status of her hallucinations just by looking at her.
* SlasherSmile: Maybe not surprisingly, she's got one of these despite her fairly kind demeanor.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:She's only in 3-1B for a single, short section, but is forced into a gambit with Q-Taro that ultimately causes Midori's death.]]
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: Of the three Floor Masters of the third floor, she's the only one that survives.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: Zig-zagged; as of the end of 3-1, her exact motivations and morality are not yet quite clear. She's kind to the cast, attends to their medical and mental needs, and seems to carry out her duties with regret. She also [[spoiler:provides Ranger with his kindness and compassion programs so he could realize what he lost before he died, and gives Sara the chip in his head, which contributed to the escape attempt]]. This is all in stark contrast to Sue Miley, Rio Ranger, or the Reception Doll's behaviors. [[spoiler:But in a subversion, if you vote for Kanna, Q-taro attempts to appeal to Safalin's supposed better nature and she sets him straight with a cruel smile that she ''is'' their enemy, even if she's acting nice. Even contributing to the escape attempt didn't mean anything in the end since the exit was blocked before the game even started, and she likely knew this. Meanwhile, providing Ranger his kindness and compassion programs only served to leave the newly-formed Rio Laizer a short life and agonizing death in misery and regret. Though then again, [[AssholeVictim if anyone in the cast deserved such an ending...]]]]
* WeakWilled: She frequently just goes along with what people tell her to do, even though as a Vice Floor Master she has the same power as Ranger [[spoiler:or Gashu.]] She's easily pressured by others to do what they want despite her disapproving, though she's still capable of putting her foot down occasionally. [[spoiler: She's even capable of acting sadistically and controlling when Sara becomes addicted to Salafin's machine in one bad ending.]]
* WeAREStrugglingTogether: She makes it perfectly clear in Kanna's route that she's in the same boat as the rest of the cast, but this is a defied trope, as her role makes it impossible to cooperate with anyone else.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: Can be the one to deliver Kanna's CruelAndUnusualDeath without real concern for her as much as she is concerned for her own life if she doesn't.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Green, actually.

[[folder:Reception Doll]]
!!Reception Doll/[[spoiler:Gashu Satou]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cara16_1.png]]
The "Reception Doll." Polite and seemingly unflappable, he is ''not'' a Floor Master, but rather runs the prize counter of 2-1.

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:What else could one count putting Kai through something like this? He also seemed to view him extremely poorly due to his refusal to become an assassin. On top of that, there's his treatment of his robotic "son," Ranger, even going so far as to kill him.]]
* AffablyEvil: He does generally treat the cast politely, even if ultimately he's willing to screw with people's lives for the sake of results he wants. [[spoiler:He rigs the second Main Game to guarantee Nao's death, and kills ''himself'' rather than being willing to give the cast a break after his trick is revealed.]] His politeness appears genuine and unfailing throughout every scene he's in, and he's all too happy to get along with the cast when they try to socialize with him, and only stands to make his villainy all the more unsettling.
* ArcVillain: Of Chapter 2 as a whole, particularly 2-2.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Despite not being the ''worst'' of the floor masters, no one's especially concerned about his death as much as they are what his death means for the Second Main Game. Mainly, that it has to continue.]]
* AtrociousAlias: He briefly goes by "Uncle crabstache" when referred to by Gin, PlayedForLaughs.
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler: He ultimately gets what he wants: For Nao to die and the Death Game to continue, despite not living to see the results.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: During the first half of chapter 2, he's just the creepy guy who runs the prize corner, but of the three characters introduced in 2, he's perhaps the most significant.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Though he reveals his importance to the story late into 2-1, with [[spoiler:Kai posthumously]] warning about the possibility of facing him, [[spoiler:he kills himself without a second thought in the second Main Game.]]
* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:He kills himself after a long debate purely to rip hope from everyone's eyes.]]
* {{Freudian Trio}}: With the other floor masters, he's the stoic and collected Superego to Tia's Ego and Ranger's Id.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:For an instant before he shoots himself, he's shown with a tiny, creepy smile on his face as he encourages the group to continue the death game in his absence.]]
* HateSink: The more revealed about him, the more despicable he becomes.
* HopeCrusher: [[spoiler:Successfully does this when he kills himself during the Main Game in Chapter 2-2, as any hope of stopping the Main Game (or getting an extension) is ripped away, and everyone is overcome with despair as they are forced into a SadisticChoice.]]
* HumanAllAlong: Despite presenting himself as a Doll, it turns out he's very much human. [[spoiler: Being the father of Kai and all, he'd have to be.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: While Gashu is by no means better than Ranger, and in fact why the Doll acts the way he does, he's the one to fatally wounds Ranger for not playing his role as intended.]]
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: He's one for Safalin and Ranger, despite it seeming like he was a lackey of theirs.]]
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The Nice compared to Safalin's In Between and Ranger's Mean, seemingly supportive of the cast no matter what they do.
* NoNameGiven: He's simply known as the Reception Doll, which stands out compared to the other "Dolls" who are all named.
* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler: He's noted to be Ranger's dad and referred to as such after he mortally wounds the doll. And he was ''also'' indirectly (by "virtue" of being associated with ASU-NARO) complicit in his biological son Kai's [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled suicide]].]]
* OhCrap: [[spoiler: He pulls a rather jarring one once Sara reveals the statistics papers she was given, it being the only time he breaks out of his seemingly serene behavior. However, it disappears just as quickly as it came when Sara doesn't immediately know what it means.]]
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:Kai is dead by the time he even shows up. Even worse, he never even ''mentions'' his son, and their shared family name and Kai's own word on his laptop are the only things confirming their relation.]]
* {{Shopkeeper}}: Runs the prize counter in 2-1.
* TheStoic: His expression rarely ever changes no matter what the circumstances are.
* TheyLookLikeEveryoneElse: Compared to the other Floor Masters, the Reception Doll looks rather unassuming and mundane.
* TheUnSmile: His smile is noted to be rather unsettling.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's pretty hard to talk about him without revealing his true identity or the role he plays.
* WeAREStrugglingTogether: Despite being a Floor Master, he too has a collar and is under the threat of death unless he plays the role given to him.
* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler: When it is revealed he cheated in the Main Game and is left with the option of dying or giving a 24-hour extension, he chooses the former as to rip the hope from everyone's eyes.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Midori]]
!!The Real Sou Hiyori
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cara19_1_copy.png]]
The doll of the ''Real'' Sou Hiyori. His human counterpart was killed by Alice, but he now resides as a Floor Master of the fourth and fifth floors. Despite acting friendly, he's quite fond of getting under other people's skin and has every intention to murder the main cast if he's given the chance.
* ArcVillain: Of Chapter 3-1.
* AssholeVictim: As it turns out, Midori's human counterpart was far from a nice person in any meaning of the word. In 3-1, Alice remarks that he had always regretted committing murder, but upon realizing how heinous Midori is, he would kill him again and again if he could.
* BadBoss: He is technically the boss of the Dummies, but he won't hesitate to kill them if he gets the chance.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Wears a black suit and also proves to a formidable adversary.
* BlatantLies: He nearly kills Hayasaka by reactivating an old trial, and when he shuts it off claims that it was an accident.
* BrilliantButLazy: Heavily implied. He sets up traps and anticipates the movements of the others rather well, but he often complains about things taking too long and leaves the Dummies to give exposition instead.
* BluffingTheMurderer: [[spoiler:What ultimately leads to his downfall. Midori is ''very'' close to winning the Banquet due to cheating and having information Sara and the others do not. He even narrows his choice down Gin's coffin with the unwitting help of the survivors, and had it not been for Sara making a last minute wish, he would have won. However, Q-Taro and Sara manage to get Midori to second guess himself by claiming Keiji was in one of the coffins, which means he ends up wasting another turn and gives Sara the win.]]
* CanonName: The name available at default is "Midori".
* ControlFreak: Despite ''seeming'' to be laid back, Midori is incredibly controlling, either cheating or tricking others to maintain an advantage. He's ''especially'' controlling of Shin, whom he not only constantly visited, manipulated, and made uneasy, but keeps an A.I. version of Shin around back when he was timid, shy, and easily controlled, for no other reason than to have someone else he can control.
* CreepyBlueEyes: His are drawn very differently from the rest of the cast's. There's no reflection or depth - just a long gaze.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Granted, he was already a cruel and sadistic person to begin with, but [[spoiler: Chapter 3-1b reveals he replaced most of his body with doll components and gave his human pieces to the Dummies.]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Responsible for both the suffering of so many of the characters and for [[spoiler:recruiting them for the game in the first place]], with the first two chapters gradually revealing more about him, everything seems to be building towards him as a plausible and deeply personal BigBad for the cast to contend with. [[spoiler:The penultimate half-chapter, wherein he also debuts, culminates in his death.]]
* DissonantSerenity: He rarely drops his faux-cheery demeanor.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He's shown on Kai's laptop in 2-2, and appears in 3-1.
* FasterThanTheyLook: Has absurd reflexes in a standoff, much to Keiji and Shin's chagrin.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Refuses any canon character's name on the basis that it doesn't really suit him, and he feels it'd upset the original owner of the name. He's also ''scared shitless'' of Meister, and if you try to name him "Meister", he isn't nearly as calm about rejecting it as he is other names.
* EvilIsPetty:
** [[spoiler: He still holds a grudge with Alice. However, it's apparently not because he wants revenge for Alice trying to kill him; rather, Midori is mad that, in order to get back at Alice by putting him in the Death Game, he had to give up his spot, which he'd been looking forward to.]]
** [[spoiler: He wastes a turn on the mere ''possibility'' that Keiji was still in his coffin. His reasoning either being that it was either Keiji or Gin there, but he had settled on the fact that if he ''could'' desecrate the man he had repeatedly outsmarted and used for his entertainment, he would.]]
* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:Turns out Alice accidentally shoving his head through a pole didn’t even really phase him.]]
* FairPlayVillain: Subverted. He loves to come off as someone who is giving the cast a fair chance in his "game" with them, but in reality he's a ControlFreak who rigs things in his favor. [[spoiler: The most blatant example is with Maple, who is actually supposed to be hunting him like other Obstructors do with the Dummies, but he instead brainwashed her to be in love with him, ensuring she would never hurt him or pursue him (barring his [=ID=] card he has to give up when she is infatuated with him).]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: He acts like an old friend to everyone he meets, especially Shin. Granted, they actually were old friends.
* HateSink: Unlike the Fake Sou Midori plays this straight, He is never once given a single sympathetic trait, and indeed the more you learn about him, the more horrifying and despicable he becomes.
* HelloInsertNameHere: He asks Sara to give him a new name at the beginning of Chapter 3. The default is "Midori." He does refuse to share a name with anybody in the rest of the cast (or be renamed to his old name, for that matter), though, telling you to "pick another" if you try.
* HumanAllAlong: [[spoiler: PlayedWith. He's not a doll of Sou Hiyori, he ''is'' Sou, but his body modified so heavily that he is more machine than man.]]
* IdenticalStranger: Well, not quite ''identical,'' but he sure does bear a strong resemblance to his impostor, Shin Tsukimi.
* ILied: Much better at it than Shin, being able to manipulate both the former and Keiji into doing what he wants before his death. It's a trait he keeps after his revival.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How Alice “killed” him years ago... [[spoiler:With his memories blocked of noticing that, even with a pole [[EyeScream through his eye]], he was ''still alive.'']] This scene, uniquely shown on his survival route, provides foreshadowing well ahead of the Banquet that [[spoiler:he’s more machine than man and the game considers him as much.]]
* INeverSaidItWasPoison: He pulls this constantly, misleading others with half-truths and letting them make their own assumptions, only to later tell them that he never told them ''what'' he meant earlier, which often turns a seemingly bad situation for him into a bad situation for Sara and friends.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: He's visibly blushing when [[spoiler:he discusses with Sara her [[ManipulativeBitch true nature]] which he observed in the death game simulations.]]
* ItsPersonal: Though he wants to kill everyone in the Death Game, (especially Shin), he absolutely ''loathes'' Alice.
* LackOfEmpathy: Has completely no regard for anyone beyond himself.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Has one of his own, fittingly titled "Madman."
* ManipulativeBastard: And quite the cheerful one at that. Notable in his past involvement with [[spoiler: Shin, who he manipulated into getting close to him back in high school, in order to steal his information for the Death Game. It's explicitly stated [[{{Sadist}} he enjoyed seeing his fear and horror at these actions.]] Quite unsurprisingly, Shin reacts as if he's about to be sick upon seeing his later return as an AI.]] He also disguised himself as a police officer and joined the force, where he deliberately misled Keiji into thinking an unarmed criminal had a gun. Keiji shot the criminal dead, but found out too late that the man he had killed was his childhood hero.
* MasterOfDisguise: He's able to disguise himself as a high school student ''and'' a policeman to successfully manipulate both Sou and Keiji respectively despite neither going to that school or being on the force. 3-1B shows that he also disguised himself as a nurse, a teacher and an ice cream vendor, and could have very well many more disguises under his belt.
* MeaningfulRename: He needs a new name because Shin took up his name. Downplayed with the default option, 'Midori', which simply means green. It can be PlayedForLaughs if the player chooses anything from a DoubleEntendre to something downright ridiculous.
* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:He comes ''very'' close to winning the Banquet. It's only due to Sara, Q-Taro, and Mai all out gambitting him that he actually loses.]]
* NightmareFace: Gives a truly ''horrifying'' one when [[spoiler:he tells Sara to revert to her "true", darkly manipulative nature]].
* NotAfraidToDie: [[spoiler:Heavily averted. He gives off this impression seeing that he survived Alice impulsive AccidentalMurder of him, but when he's in genuine, ''actual'' danger of dying, he panics and tells Meister to let him out. While jarring, it makes sense that a massive ControlFreak like Midori would be afraid of something out of his control like death.]]
* OneSteveLimit: Invoked. He refuses to accept any of the players' names as his own.
* OnlyFriend: Heavily hinted to be Shin's only friend during his time in high school, which is an ultimately ''horrifying'' thought considering how awful Sou is.
* PerpetualSmiler: Most of his sprites have his creepy grin, and he is most commonly seen wearing it.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Briefly seen in flashback trying to pressure Gin into agreeing to have his autism cured. Of course, given that he doesn't have any issue with Gin instead [[spoiler:using his wish for his mother]], it's possible that he only brought the issue up in order to [[spoiler:get him to sign the consent form]].
* PosthumousCharacter: Alice swears left and right that he killed him, and certainly has been in prison over it for years, but Kai's laptop notes that he's extremely significant to the game in some way he doesn't know. He comes back - albeit as a doll - in 3-1. [[spoiler:Subverted; this ''is'' the real Midori, and he’s just heavily altered his body to basically be another doll.]]
* PsychopathicManchild: Despite seemingly friendly, he's quite homicidal and acts quite childish, insisting on playing games, hiding, and then consistently complaining about how bored he is waiting for the others to find him.
* {{Sadist}}: He revels in making people suffer, whether it's emotionally or physically.
* TheSociopath: A manipulative sadist who plays with people's lives like toys without a shred of remorse to be seen. He never thinks twice about his cruelty and performs it with a smile on his face, all for his amusement. He is easily the cruelest of the Floor Masters.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Downplayed. When Midori finds the cast inside his personal IT room, he pulls a gun on them and threatens to kill four of them. Sara has the option to ask him if he'll really be satisfied by simple violence, which uncharacteristically unnerves him enough to stop.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Heavily implied with Shin, as the latter looks ill whenever he sees or talks about him but has undeniably picked up some habits of manipulation and lying from him.
* VillainBall: He has the option to just kill the survivors when he has them at gunpoint, which would have saved him a bit of trouble, but Sara's words make him decide that the practical option wouldn't be satisfying or entertaining enough to continue.
* {{Troll}}: He messes with just about everyone if only for the very fact he enjoys doing it.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:When faced with the reality that he’s about to truly die, he loses all composure.]]
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Turns out he has access to a gun, and threatens to use it on the survivors when he finds them in an area they're not supposed to be. Sara however, convinces him not to do as such.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about him without revealing he's been brought back to life.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:In addition to roping multiple children into a DeadlyGame, he directly murders the girl posing as Hinako in an exceptionally gruesome manner with a giant drill.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Like Safalin, he has green hair.
