7!!Atsuki Saijo
8!!!Voiced by: Creator/MamoruMiyano (JP), Creator/JasonLiebrecht (EN)
9->"To look into the abyss is to know that the abyss looks into you."
10
11The main character of ''Lux Pain''. His family was killed by Silent. When brought back to life by surviving the operation to gain Lux Pain, he swore to have his revenge.
12
13%%* AloneWithThePsycho: On two major occasions in the game. He survives both.
14%%* AloofOlderBrother: Toward Natsuki and Nami, though he isn’t the actual brother of either girl.
15* ArtifactOfDoom: The ring on his finger, Gawain, is said to kill the person it deems unworthy. It has killed many people in the past, but eventually chose Atsuki as its wearer.
16* TheAtoner: Atsuki thinks that the only reason he's alive is to get revenge on Silent and that he must atone for living. No matter what people tell him otherwise, he doesn't listen.
17%%* AuraVision: It allows him to see the Shinen inside people.
18* BadassBookworm: According to Ryo, he's really knowledgeable about certain topics, which allows him to assess certain situations better.
19%%* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:DO NOT CALL HIM A HYPOCRITE!]] You're going to regret it...
20%%* BigEater: You know how many places he stops by to eat in one chapter? He must have a big appetite to eat three times in one episode rapid fire.
21* BrokenBird: He's already [[BreaktheCutie broken when]] the game begins and has already [[BecomingTheMask hid his sorrow under a stoic front]], in order to complete his missions without fail. But then comes Kisaragi...
22* ButNotTooForeign: The game implies that he's from Europe but has a Japanese-sounding name.
23* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:In the good ending, he ends up having to leave Kisaragi now that his mission there is over.]]
24* CelibateHero: Because of his personality, he doesn't want to deal with anyone around him. This is very noticeable in his interactions with Natsuki, where he is shown to be outright annoyed whenever Natsuki keeps insisting the two will be married. This comes up in a lot of his dialogue choices about romance in general.
25* CharacterDevelopment: At the beginning of the game, Atsuki thinks only his mission is important. However, as the game goes on, people at FORT comment on how his morale changes. Everyone around him also state that he has gotten better at expressing his emotions.
26* ChickMagnet: He's got many of the girls in the game (minus Nola and Aya) swooning for him. Yayoi even asks him in her dating game how many people confessed their love to him. You can admit that he is a {{chick magnet}} or deny that there are any girls proclaiming their love to him.
27%%* TheComicallySerious: You can only infer that he isn't laughing. However, in archive 1, you've got to wonder if he is...
28%%* DarkAndTroubledPast: Fits this trope to a T.
29%%* DeadpanSnarker: The journal he has concerning everyone's character profiles has him come off as one.
30%%* SnarkKnight: Some journal entries go too far.
31%%* DefrostingIceKing
32* GetAHoldOfYourselfWoman: While Sigma is what brings people back to their senses, Atsuki clearly does this to Rui if you choose the right dialogue option shortly after [[spoiler:Mako's death.]]
33* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: From his expression dialogue, he obviously denies having anything to due with Natsuki due to her age. However, the game applies that he reacts the same way if asked if he likes someone of the same gender.
34* TheHero: Not only is he the protagonist who ends up having to take down a number of villains, but he also ends up helping various residents around Kisaragi grow and change into better people.
35%%* HollywoodAtheist
36* HypocriticalHumor: He constantly mentions that [[BigEater Mika]] needs to stop eating so much and makes fun of her when she's in the hospital because he makes the assumption that she's only there for the free food. ''However,'' given how Atsuki eats multiple times in one episode and judging by Akira's comment in his dating game wondering how much Atsuki's belly can hold, you can figure out where the hypocrisy comes in.
37* InSeriesNickname: [[LateforSchool ''Tardy King'']] given to him by Akira. According to Aya, he's also known around FORT as 'Zero-Time Telepath' for his rapid response to situations.
38* InterruptedSuicide: Atsuki will always stop the suicide in time. [[YouAreTooLate Murder, on the other hand, is a different story...]]
39%%* ItsPersonal: His main motivation for revenge against Silent.
40%%* ItsUpToYou: Pretty much always, until episode 20 when the other FORT members actually do something. In that episode, he's focused on making sure his friends aren't dead and [[spoiler:saving Nami from Graham.]]
41* {{Jerkass}}: Some of his dialogue options are flat out mean, especially during the dating archives. The best known one is if you tell Mika [[KickTheDog that she should stop pursuing her dreams.]] [[WhatTheHellHero She literally runs off crying if you do.]] Ironically, being a jerk to Shinji is the only way for him to realize how much of a kid he is.
42* LateForSchool: As the game goes on, Atsuki is known for being late; hence, Akira dubs him the "Tardy King".
43* LaughingMad: [[spoiler:When Edward insults him by calling him a {{hypocrite}}, let's just say his response is... creepy...]]
44* LauncherOfAThousandShips: In-universe example. He has been paired up with [[{{Tsundere}} Rui]] (by Mika and Honoka), [[GenkiGirl Mika]] (by Razzly), [[YamatoNadeshiko Yayoi]] (by Takano), [[CheerfulChild Natsuki]], [[HotBlooded Akira]] (by Suzu, Inagaki, Nami and Akira's dad), and [[TheAce Hibiki]] (by Suzu).
45%%* MagneticHero
46* MistakenForMurderer: In the normal ending route, Akira thought that Atsuki was a serial killer walking down the street and decided to tackle him to the ground. Hilarity ensues as well as [[ShipTease something else.]]
47* NewTransferStudent: Ends up transferring to Kisaragi High as part of his cover.
48* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In the normal ending [[spoiler:in which he fails to save Hibiki from his fate. This causes a lot of things to not happen: for example, Mika is never found, Shinji never wakes up from his coma, Nami goes missing (according to Yayoi), Ryo is in a HeroicBSOD because of Hibiki's death, and Aya and Rei clearly tell you that even though they caught Edward, the true villain cannot be captured because you didn't save Hibiki. Why is that? Because apparently, Hibiki had important info concerning Graham. (It turns out he doesn't, but catching Edward when Hibiki is alive gets Graham out of his hiding place.)]] Also [[spoiler:if you decide to TakeAThirdOption and save Yumiko but fail to save Hibiki, you can still move onto the good ending. [[FridgeHorror However, you realize that because Honoka isn't at the hospital (she's been killed) and Ryo is at the bookstore (he locked everyone out during the witch hunt), the body count in the hospital is much higher than it is in the good ending in which Hibiki is alive because he was able to stop the Silent infectee from harming the patients.]]]] [[SarcasmMode Way to go, Atsuki.]]
49* NotSoStoic: He has his comical moments of loosening up, like when Ryo piled all of those books on him or archive one where you can infer that he was enjoying the party like everyone else was. [[spoiler:Then there are those moments...see LaughingMad.]] In the normal ending route, Atsuki does not take Akira tackling him to the ground that well; the game implies that he practically demands for Akira to make it up to him.
50%%* OnlySaneMan: When he's with the group.
51* ParentalAbandonment: His parents are both deceased, as is his younger sister.
52* PerpetualFrowner: His default expression. When he does smile, it comes off as more of a smirk.
53* PlotInducedStupidity: This almost causes Mika's death in the game and, depending on your choices, can [[spoiler:kill Hibiki.]] With Mika; she gets a phone call from someone and she rushes off to meet the person. When Atsuki reads her Sigma, don't you think he could have dug deeper into her mind to find out who was calling her? This causes her to get captured by [[spoiler: Lt. Tanaka]], who seriously injures Akira when he [[spoiler:tries to save her.]] When you know that the serial killer targets Mika, a smart person would know NOT to leave her alone. Not only does Atsuki leave her alone, he LEAVES his designated spot to go stop Silent infectees that weren't really dangerous compared to the one in the serial killer. With Hibiki, he knows that that he is not evil, yet he lets FORT try to eliminate him. As a one-day friend, you think Atsuki would help him out. He doesn't, and that results in Liu Yee being critically injured and Hibiki in the hospital.
54* PsychicBlockDefense: What he uses to prevent Hibiki from reading his mind and Edward from controlling it.
55%%* TheQuietOne
56%%* RandomPowerRanking: How does FORT do it?
57* ShipperOnDeck: Depending on how you respond to Suzu in the last episode, Atsuki might support Ryo/Hibiki (or at the very least, not want to protest enough to disturb the clearly-unbalanced shipper).
58%%* ShipTease: With everybody, but mostly [[HotBlooded Akira]], [[{{Tsundere}} Rui]], and [[YamatoNadeshiko Yayoi]].
59%%* ShutUpHannibal: He does this to [[spoiler:Edward]] before the boss battle.
60%%* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Saijo or Saijou.
61* TheStoic: Characters describe him as being rather emotionless to many situations, so when he shows other expressions like anger or sorrow, the group will notice.
62%%* StraightMan: To everyone.
63* SugarAndIcePersonality: He often comes across as cold, but he does care for the people around him.
64* SupernaturalGoldEyes: His right eye, though he covers it with a black contact lens so that it's only visible when he's using Sigma.
65* SweetTooth: It's hinted to be one because he goes to Sweet Ring so much. Certain dialogue options also implies that he goes there just to get free cake.
66* TechnicallyASmile: There are only three instances in the game where he "smiles". The first is when he is fighting with Mika over the strawberry shortcake. The second one is forced on him by Akira in archive 1. The third one, which is the most disturbing of them all, [[spoiler:is Atsuki losing it when Edward calls him a hypocrite. Not only does he smile, but he laughs similar to [[Manga/DeathNote Light...]]]]
67%%* TeenGenius: One of the smarter students apparently.
68%%* {{Telepathy}}
69* TheUnsmile: Mika comments on this and in archive 1, Akira decides to change that for the group photo.
70* WarriorTherapist: Almost literally. The nature of Silent and how Atsuki handles them could be viewed as a form of therapy.
71* WhatBeautifulEyes: Everyone ''except'' Akira comments on Atsuki's eyes.
72* YankTheDogsChain: You want to start over with your life? Well, you got friends that love you and a potential love interest. [[spoiler: Oh wait! You got to leave Kisaragi for your mission! Sucks to be you!]]
73
74!!Natsuki Venefskuja
75!!!Voiced by: Creator/MinoriChihara (JP), Creator/MonicaRial (EN)
76->[[GratuitousEnglish "Good morning, honey!"]]
77
78The youngest member of FORT, being thirteen years old. Has the power to track Shinen and is madly in love with Atsuki.
79
80%%* AgeInappropriateDress: See ElegantGothicLolita
81* BreakTheCutie: In her childhood, she was the target of a witch hunt; her entire family was slaughtered as a result and she was gravely injured. FORT saved her and brought her back to life with Lux Pain.
82* ButNotTooForeign: Like Atsuki, she's from Europe but seems to have Japanese blood in her.
83%%* CheerfulChild: [[spoiler:Subverted, it is all an act.]]
84%%* ClingyJealousGirl: She has shades of this.
85%%* ElegantGothicLolita: She dresses like this.
86* EnemyDetectingRadar: Her Sigma powers allow her to track Shinen, though she doesn't usually go out into the field.
87* FatherIWantToMarryMyBrother: While not siblings per say, Natsuki makes it clear that she intends to marry Atsuki when she's older.
88%%* GirlishPigtails
89* GratuitousEnglish: In the Japanese version but justified as she is from Europe.
90%%* InsaneTrollLogic: Why should Atsuki marry you? She has a million reasons why that don't make sense.
91* LikeBrotherAndSister: Atsuki sees his relationship with Natsuki to be like this, while Natsuki is infatuated with him. Even when Natsuki declares that she and Atsuki are going to get married, everyone seems unconvinced.
92%%* MissionControl: For episode 10.
93* ParentalAbandonment: As noted in Break The Cutie, her entire family was killed as part of a witch hunt.
94%%* PsychicBlockDefense
95%%* SensorCharacter
96%%* StepfordSmiler: Type A.
97* ThereAreNoTherapists: She had to go through all of her trauma on her own, even with Nola's help.
98
99!!Nola Dobereiner
100!!!Voiced by: Creator/EriKitamura (JP), Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard (EN)
101An expert hacker of FORT and Atsuki's main support in the game.
102
103%%* TheComicallySerious
104%%* HollywoodHacking
105* MissionControl: Acts as this for the majority of the game.
106* OnlySaneMan: Even more than the chief himself, since she often seems baffled by his decisions.
107%%* SexySecretary
108* TheSmartGuy: As the hacker and Mission Control for FORT, she kind of has to be.
109
110!!Liu Yee
111!!!Voiced by: Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (JP), Creator/ChristopherSabat (EN)
112Atsuki's partner. He has different views from Atsuki's methods and won't hesitate to sacrifice one person to save many.
113
114* AllThereInTheManual: Apparently, the reason why Liu Yee is so harsh on Atsuki is because [[spoiler:his previous partner was killed in a mission and Nola sent Atsuki to replace him instantly. Apparently, he's still bitter about how FORT was so fast with assigning him a new partner, giving him almost no time to grieve.]]
115%%* AloofBigBrother: To Atsuki.
116%%* ArrogantKungFuGuy
117%%* BreakTheHaughty: After getting ambushed during his battle with Hibiki.
118%%* DeadpanSnarker: Out of everyone in this game, he would win.
119%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In reality, he's this, but only when he's humbled/made vulnerable.
120%%* TheLancer
121%%* PsychicBlockDefense
122* SmugSmiler: One of his sprites has him smiling rather arrogantly. He usually smiles this way to Natsuki or Hibiki when he's {{troll}}ing them.
123%%* TallDarkAndHandsome
124%%* TallDarkAndSnarky
125* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: He forces Atsuki out of the way to finish off [[spoiler:Edward]] for revenge (and to prevent Atsuki from actually killing someone, which is generally a Sweeper's job).
126* {{Troll}}: To Natsuki and Hibiki, but goes to the extreme concerning the latter of the two. [[spoiler:Forcing Hibiki to beg so he could help the people in the hospital during the witch hunt and then telling him that he was going to help whether Hibiki begged or not, just to piss him off.]]
127
128!!Aya Nagashima
129->"I need a vacation..."
130
131One of FORT's undercover members. She takes the role of the police chief midway through the game in order to transport [[spoiler:Lt. Tanaka]] back to FORT.
132
133%%* AMotherToHerMen: For both FORT and for the Kisaragi police.
134%%* BunnyEarsLawyer: All she does is complain about FORT and wanting a vacation. It makes you wonder how she ended up there...
135* CoolBigSis: Toward Atsuki. She's the only one that encourages Atsuki to disobey FORT for a change. Of course, whether this is a good thing or not is another story.
136%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
137%%* DaChief: A temporary one starting in episode 13.
138* FauxActionGirl: In episode 20, she [[spoiler:and Yui get captured by Silent infectees and are held hostage until rescued. In early episodes, it's stated that she can single-handedly take out a mob.]]
139%%* HardDrinkingPartyGirl
140%%* InSeriesNickname: [[CoolBigSis "Big Sis"]]. It's very fitting.
141* LazyBum: On the line of work, she's very good at her job [[FauxActionGirl (apparently)]] but Nola complains that she doesn't do much but complain and whine for a vacation.
142%%* PsychicBlockDefense
143* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The only person that would apparently listens to Atsuki's worries if he opened up to anyone. Then again, she isn't called "Big Sis" for nothing by FORT.
144%%* SelectiveObliviousness: Despite her comments on love, she doesn't seem to notice that Kenzo has a crush on her.
145%%* TheSixthRanger: She comes late in the game.
146
147!!Kenzo Noguchi
148
149The leader of PICUS. He is very strict and serious with newcomers. He's the guy who tends to push Aya in the right direction and has a huge crush on her.
150
151%%* AFatherToHisMen
152%%* TheBigGuy
153* BodyguardCrush: On Aya. She's oblivious to it, however.
154%%* TheComicallySerious
155* GentleGiant: He's rather strict, but good to his subordinates.
156
157!!Ray Platiere
158!!!Voiced by: Creator/HikaruMidorikawa (JP), Creator/JMichaelTatum (EN)
159The practical leader of FORT.
160
161* AllThereInTheManual: Apparently, [[spoiler:one of his reasons for saving Atsuki was because Atsuki was the only one who could use Gawain, the ring that Atsuki wears on his finger, to use Sigma. He had experimented on other people in the past to see if they could use Gawain and when that failed, he would just just remove it.]]
162* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:With Graham. It all depended on Atsuki. Nola calls him out on this, saying that Atsuki could have died if this failed.]]
163%%* TheComicallySerious
164* EvilPlan: [[spoiler:He planned the downfall of PHALANX the minute he quit 10 years pre-series.]] Since this affects the foundation of the main narrative and drives a good portion of it.
165%%* MissionControl: At the end of the game.
166%%* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: For FORT.
167%%* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives this to Atsuki whenever you get a game over.
168%%* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Did this when he quit PHALANX upon disagreeing with their plan for handling Silent.
169%%* TheSpock: Can come off as one. Especially when he decided to [[spoiler:order FORT to kill Hibiki.]]
170[[/folder]]
171
172[[folder: Kisaragi Students]]
173
174!!Akira Mido
175!!!Voiced by Creator/YuuichiNakamura (JP), Creator/RobertMcCollum (EN)
176The martial artist of the school. He has a lot of teen angst from his mother's death and [[spoiler:almost getting killed by a serial killer]] that results in him closing his heart to everyone. Only after Atsuki befriends him does he go through extreme CharacterDevelopment and become one of the main characters that support Atsuki.
177
178* AndIMustScream: Similar to Sayuri, he's very aware of losing his mind the second time. It gets to the point that he decides to isolate himself from his friends to avoid hurting them. When he confronts Atsuki about it, he almost loses it. Thankfully, Atsuki manages to snap him out of it.
179%%* BerserkButton: Do not insult Atsuki or hurt any of his closest friends.
180* BigDamnHeroes: Tries to do this on multiple occasions. More often than not, it fails. However, his most memorable one is [[spoiler:saving Mika from the {{serial killer}} last year]].
181* BigManOnCampus: It's hinted that he's one of the most popular guys in the school despite his grades. For one thing, he's always standing up for people who can't protect themselves and whenever he gets into a fight, everyone always looks toward him. Sayuri even calls him out and accuses him of being a {{jerk jock}}. He snaps because [[HoYay Atsuki happens to be there]] when Sayuri tells him this.
182%%* BookDumb
183* CallingTheOldManOut: Subverted. Akira is this close to calling him out, but because Atsuki interferes with removing his Silent and calming him down, Akira decides against it and leaves the restaurant, ashamed of himself.
184* CharacterDevelopment: Went from an insecure thug with daddy problems to an insanely calm man who is willing to move forward in life.
185%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
186%%* {{Delinquent}}: His father considers him this.
187%%* FaceOfAThug
188* {{Determinator}}: He was willing to go to extreme lengths to save Mika, and when one of his friends is either in danger or insulted, he will stop at nothing to put that person in his or her place.
189%%* DesignatedVictim: Of [[spoiler:Silent.]]
190* DistressBall: A rare male example. He gets himself caught in situations that could very well kill him. If not for Atsuki, he could have died all of those times, and counting Silent, [[spoiler:that's a total of three times that Atsuki has to save him from getting killed. However, the two other times he gets into dangerous situations are during "last year's incident" and the Kisaragi Shooting when Atsuki couldn't get into the school to stop Yamato. Hibiki had to do it.]]
191%%* DudeWheresMyRespect: No one in the group treats him right, except Atsuki.
192%%* DumbIsGood
193%%* FailureKnight: Thinks of himself as this despite protecting Mika from the {{serial killer}} last year.
194%%* HeroicBystander
195* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Feels useless if he can't protect his friends, even if he did a good job at doing it.
196%%* HiddenDepths: Seems like your typical shounen hero type of guy until you dig into his psychological problems.
197%%* HonorBeforeReason: For better and worse.
198* HotBlooded: He's a hothead who usually acts before he thinks.
199* IdiotHero: A {{deconstruction}} of this trope. Whenever he tries to do something, the situation almost always gets worse for Atsuki. [[spoiler:The main example is Akira going to face the SerialKiller Lt. Tanaka directly and almost getting killed as a result.]]
200* InstantWakingSkills: Mentioning a pop quiz will get him to wake up in class instantly to complain.
201* IronButtmonkey: He gets his ass handed to him by [[spoiler:Lt. Tanaka]] and gets to leave the hospital the next night. He gets shot in the shoulder by [[spoiler:Yamato]] and gets out the day after with MINOR WOUNDS when the screenshot shows that he WAS indeed hit. And Silent infects him twice and instead of having a breakdown like many of the Silent infectees get when it is removed, he acts the same as usual... and then when he mentions that Rui and Mika kicked his butt sending him to the hospital multiple times during childhood. Archive 1 proves that Akira has more tolerance to getting owned by Rui than everyone else. Poor guy...
202%%* KnightInShiningArmor: What people refer him as and it pisses him off.
203%%* TheLancer: To Atsuki somewhat.
204* MissingMom: His mother died a few years before the start of the game.
205* MistakenForGay: During archive 1, Rui gives a subtle hint that she doesn't trust what Akira said, hence Akira trying to defend himself without using that word. [[HilarityEnsues Doesn't end well...]]
206* MoodSwinger: At the beginning, he'll be fine one moment and then angry the next. It gets better after the first Silent is removed.
207%%* ObliviousToLove: Until someone brings it up to him directly.
208* ParentalAbandonment: His mother is dead and his father treats him like crap. However, his relationship with his dad gets better thanks to Atsuki.
209* PlatonicLifePartners: With Mika. He worries about her less and less due to a certain someone.
210* [[RealMenWearPink Real Men Are Waitresses]]: Akira almost got himself into this situation when he mixed up waiter with waitress.
211* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: He doesn't like the idea of being shipping him with Mika who he sees as a sister.
212%%* ShonenHair
213%%* SupremeChef: Along with Yayoi.
214%%* ThatCameOutWrong: On multiple occasions to the point where you wonder if he's doing this on purpose.
215* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Pulls this one on [[spoiler:Sayuri (of all people) when she insulted him.]]
216-->"Bring it, bitch!"
217* WellDoneSonGuy: He strives to live up to his father's expectations and it never goes well. They eventually reconcile at the end of episode 4.
218
219!!Mika Nozaki
220!!!Voiced by: Creator/MikakoTakahashi (JP), Creator/KateOxley (EN)
221The school’s reporter. She knows everything about everyone and is always informed about the latest scoop. She is a childhood friend of Akira, Ryo, and Rui.
222
223%%* BigEater: Atsuki wonders if she gets injured so she can get free food in the hospital.
224%%* BookDumb: Or really stupid.
225* BreakTheCutie: Basically, she was targeted by last year's killer but unlike Akira, she wasn't traumatized at the fact that she could have been killed. Said killer goes after her again this year, constantly stalking her (when Atsuki reads the R. Shinen of the killer), and then someone else pretending to be the killer tries to murder her. If it weren't for Mako TakingTheBullet for her, Mika would have been said victim. This event, however, traumatizes her to the point where her GenkiGirl persona disappears completely and she literally breaks down during those two episodes. However, her resolve to find the killer perked her up. Of course, shortly after, the serial killer goes after her AGAIN and would have succeeded if Akira and Nami didn't save her [[spoiler:-- though it is technically Atsuki's fault for letting her leave her designated spot]]. You would think this is the end of her torture, but the BigBad has other plans for her. When Mika decides to find Rui's 'lover', she gets herself kidnapped by [[spoiler:Graham]] and goes missing. Only if you get past the normal ending does she return[[spoiler:, infected by Silent sent to capture her best friend. When it's removed, she goes back to her normal self]].
226%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
227%%* CuteBruiser: Toward Kagami in her archive 'date'.
228* DesignatedVictim: She was targeted in last year’s incident and survived thanks to Akira. She is targeted again by the same killer multiple times in-game and results in [[spoiler:Mako’s death]].
229* DamselInDistress: She is often targeted by the serial killer multiple times, to the point where it's obvious that the killer is doing this on purpose. Also, [[spoiler:Graham]] targets her so she can [[spoiler:capture Rui and bring her to him.]]
230* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: One of her scenes in the archive is her thinking about Kyosuke and delivering a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on him after [[TheyReallyDoLoveEachOther she wished him to be careful]] since there [[AnyoneCanDie were a lot of people getting killed and she didn't want him on the list]] and he rejected her advice and called her an idiot.
231%%* DumbIsGood
232%%* GenkiGirl
233* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: She reacts strongly to Razzly teasing her about Atsuki, but it doesn't stick. Mention Kyosuke, though, and she'll flip.
234* IntrepidReporter: Mika can handle herself in hazardous situations, but she just attracts the more dangerous suspects that she's trying to bring to justice. Of course, she knows that this job was dangerous and she knew what she was doing when she became a reporter. Doesn't stop her from needing to be saved by [[HoldingOutForAHero Atsuki or Akira.]]
235* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler: She feels like it's her fault that Akira is distant originally and when she brings it up, Akira snaps at all. She thinks it's her fault again for Mako's death and no one can change her mind, so she decides to get the killer in prison instead.]]
236%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
237* KnowledgeBroker: To a certain extent, but then it reveals that she gets the information from Shinji and flaunts it around like she's the one that got the information.
238* LateForSchool: Only in episode 1. Every other time, she tends to skip.
239* PlatonicLifePartners: With Akira, because [[spoiler:at the end of the game, she's hanging out with Shinji.]]
240* PluckyGirl: Her defining feature. It's to the point that [[spoiler:Atsuki says that Silent can't affect her because she's so determined to get over all the negative emotions in her heart.]]
241%%* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Shinji.
242* SchoolNewspaperNewshound: She wants to be a reporter one day and currently acts as one for the school newspaper. As Rui puts it, "She knows everything about everyone."
243* ShipperOnDeck: She is probably the biggest shipper of the group. She firmly supports [[TheMatchmaker Atsuki/Rui or any guy that she believes can be with Rui.]] She also ships Kenichi/Inagaki, to Akira's horror.
244%%* SitcomArchNemesis: With Kyosuke.
245%%* ShipTease: With Shinji and Kagami.
246%%* SweetTooth: Obviously.
247* YaoiFangirl: She supports Akira’s dad with Inagaki, much to Akira’s horror.
248
249!!Rui Yamase
250!!!Voiced by: Creator/KaoriNazuka (JP), Creator/BrinaPalencia (EN)
251The school's fortune teller. She is known for being 100 percent accurate in her readings. She is the younger sister of Yui Yamase. She is also considered the toughest girl in the school.
252
253* BadassInDistress: She always ends up in terrible situations and doesn't have the chance to show her strength. To be fair, the first time [[spoiler:a gun is pointed at her]], the second time [[spoiler:a thug comes into her store and tries to kidnap her right there]], and the final time [[spoiler:the whole city is in chaos when they try to find her and try her as a witch.]] Naturally, she is saved the first time, and she manages to get out the second time to warn Atsuki and [[spoiler:hide in a place where no one dares to look until the chaos passes.]]
254* BreakTheCutie: It begins when she keeps seeing her customers killing herself or someone else in her fortune teller. It gets to the point where she thinks she loses her powers because her readings are inaccurate. When [[spoiler:Mako is stabbed protecting Mika and dies in the hospital two days later]], she thinks it's her fault for not giving that person her person to prevent the tragedy. Said tragedy makes her sister change drastically to the point where Yui asks her if she'll find the killer. This foreshadows the bad ending of her killing [[spoiler:Lt. Tanaka amongst other people in the police station.]] Since Rui is known for her accuracy in her predictions, she breaks down at the mention of her father (amongst all the drama going on with Yui). Thankfully, it's not Atsuki that gets her out of her depressed state. It's [[spoiler:Yayoi who snaps her out of it.]]
255%%* CharacterDevelopment: Not as much as other characters, but she does become more understanding.
256%%* CuteBruiser
257* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: In her archive scene, it's revealed that Rui doesn't know what to do with life once she finishes high school. She knows that Mika will continue to be the world's best reporter, but she has no idea what she's good at except fortune telling, which she definitely doesn't want to do for the rest of her life given how depressing many of her fortunes are. She considers [[InnocentFlowerGirl flower arrangement]] or a baker, but given [[{{Tsundere}} her personality]], it's very easy to laugh at. Not a good idea for Atsuki to do, though.
258* DisappearedDad: Her father died in the line of duty several years ago.
259* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: She will constantly beat up, harass, and sometimes humiliate the guys of the group if they say something insulting to her (as shown in archive 1). Mika is not immune to her abuse either, but fortunately, Atsuki is.
260* {{Foreshadowing}}: Her powers allow her to see events that will happen later in the game. One of the most noticeable examples is when she tells Atsuki and Akira that she visioned her older sister killing someone. Akira doesn't think that's going to happen. [[spoiler:If you get the bad ending, Yui does kill the {{serial killer}} as well as many people in the police station in a fit of rage.]]
261* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Rui loves them so much that she can tell if someone doesn't like them. This is most noticeable when Rui could obviously tell that the present that Atsuki gave her was bought from Mika. This is because "Saijo isn't the type of person to get her something like this." Ironically, it's this love that allows her to [[spoiler:remember Atsuki and restore the memory of him to her friends.]]
262* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: She isn't pleased when people tease her about liking Atsuki and flat out denies anything between them.
263%%* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Multiple times, and she recovers because of Atsuki and Yayoi at different times.]]
264* LateForSchool: She, like Atsuki, is late often, and unlike Atsuki, she has to sprint to school.
265%%* OjouRinglets
266%%* OracularUrchin
267* ParentalAbandonment: Her father was killed in the line of duty and her mother is rather sickly. It's also to be noted that her relationship with her sister isn't as good as it should be.
268* PurelyAestheticGlasses: She doesn't need these glasses, though, as she can see just fine. They are just for fashion.
269* SiblingYinYang: While both are loud when they're angry, Rui is prone to be the sympathetic one (due to her powers) of the two while Yui is apathetic.
270* {{Seers}}: Her main power. She can see peoples' futures.
271%%* ShipperOnDeck: Supports Akira/Mika, Shinji/Yayoi, Ryo/Sayuri, and herself with Atsuki.
272%%* ShipTease: With Atsuki.
273%%* TheBigGirl: Despite being the same height as Shinji.
274%%* {{Tsundere}}: Type A to practically everyone. Type B to Atsuki and Yayoi.
275
276!!Yayoi Kamishiro
277!!!Voiced by: Creator/AtsukoEnomoto (JP), Creator/MonicaRial (EN)
278The school's main artist. She is known for being able to draw anything by a simple description. She is the older sister of Nami Kamishiro.
279
280* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: Double subverted in Yayoi's dating game, she is the only character to actually confess her feelings to Atsuki. However, she quickly takes it back and leaves the area soon after embarrassed that it slipped.
281%%* BewareTheNiceOnes: And how.
282* BreakTheCutie: It's mainly due to Silent, but being jealous of her little sister causes her to shun herself from everyone. She was thinking of committing a group suicide with a bunch of students...but they killed themselves without her and she panicked. After Atsuki finds her, she's talking to herself about how she's all alone. [[spoiler:And when she thinks about killing herself, you can INFER that she had a knife somewhere to kill herself.]] Once Silent is removed, she has the biggest character development that helps Rui out of her jam.
283%%* CainAndAbel: This almost causes her death.
284* CharacterDevelopment: She has the biggest character development out of all the characters. Starting as a quiet, seemly perfect girl, after confessing her suicidal tendencies, she decides to change herself. She becomes assertive to the point of being unrecognizable from the beginning of the game where she usually kept it to herself.
285
286* CloudCuckoolander: When her friends start yelling and she mentions monkeys (and wanting a pet monkey in the process)... In the same archive 1 scene, when Rui beats up on all the guys except Atsuki, she mentions how everything is like whack-a-mole and that she would join if she didn't forget her hammer...
287** If that wasn't bad enough, in game, when Rui calls Atsuki "Tardy King" (nickname came from Akira because he noticed that Atsuki is always late for class), she decides to downgrade Atsuki's 'rank' to Private Tardy... ouch...
288%%* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Multiple times.
289%%* FieryRedhead: Subverted. Her sister is this while she is rather quiet.
290* HappilyAdopted: Subverted at first when Atsuki first finds out that her real parents were dead and the parents she has now are not her real ones. She seems to resent that because of Silent. Then double subverted after you remove Silent.
291%%* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: [[spoiler:To Rui in episode 12.]]
292%%* InterruptedSuicide: By Atsuki.
293%%* {{Meido}}: Hinted that she was dressed up as this during the Cultural Festival last year.
294* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:When she comes to her senses and realizes that she almost killed herself and almost left Nami alone in the world.]]
295%%* NiceGirl
296* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Her real parents are dead and she and Nami are adopted. However, Yayoi feels like she isn't the loved one of the two.]]
297%%* TheResenter: Toward Nami, which is the reason she tries to kill herself.
298%%* ShipTease: With Atsuki.
299* SiblingYinYang: Yayoi is quiet and ladylike while her sister Nami is energetic and passionate.
300* SupremeChef: Her cookies basically explains why everyone fights over them.
301* TeamMom: She's always there to support the group (particularly Rui and Mika) when their spirits are down and will always stand up for them.
302* TookALevelInBadass: After Silent is removed, she changes her view on things and says what she believes in. An example is [[spoiler:slapping Rui when she talked about killing herself in her HeroicBSOD and then standing up to Yamato when he threatened to shoot Rui.]]
303
304!!Ryo Unami
305!!!Voiced by: Creator/NaokiKoshida (JP), Creator/ToddHaberkorn (EN)
306The school's 'professor', who is a fan of history. He runs the bookstore next to Atsuki's apartment Tohodo. He is best friends with Hibiki Kiryu.
307
308* ApologizesALot: When he realizes he said something insulting or when he thinks he messed up, he'll be the first to apologize even if it isn't his fault.
309%%* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's rarely angry, but when he is, look out!
310%%* BrutalHonesty: Too many occasions to count, and most of them are [[WithFriendsLikeThese to his friends.]]
311%%** The first time you meet him, he literally calls Rui and Mika dumb.
312%%** To Takano, he clearly states when he's talking about anything but history that he is distracted way too easily.
313%%** To Akira, he calls him a freak when Akira is dumb enough to practice Tai-chi in front of the school.
314%%** To Hibiki, he clearly calls him a pervert for commenting on Ai's looks.
315* ChickMagnet: Compared to the other guys, Ryo seems to attract far more attention from the girls than anyone else (not counting Atsuki). This includes the two girls that constantly stand in front of his door. [[spoiler:This might be another reason why Hibiki left.]]
316%%* CloudCuckoolander: At times, but not taken to the extreme, like Yayoi.
317%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
318* GeniusDitz: While really smart, people consider him very clumsy with everything else. The most prime example is that Ryo has a tendency to lock himself out of his bookstore, leaving his keys and book bag inside.
319* GentlemanAndAScholar: The only thing he's not good at is [[NoSocialSkills talking to people]], unless it has to do with the subject of history.
320* HandsOffParenting: His parents don't have much involvement in his life.
321* HypocriticalHumor: He calls Hibiki a {{chivalrous pervert}} for calling Ai beautiful, and that's what he does when he wants to attract the ladies. However... he has his own horde of fangirls that are attractive to him.
322* InformedAbility: He doesn't look like the type, but he knows martial arts. Yet he doesn't demonstrate it in the game at all.
323* InSeriesNickname: Often called the Professor by some students because of his knowledge, but because the only people that seem to speak to him in the game are his friends, we never hear anyone actually say it.
324* LateForSchool: Stated in episode 1, but the reason he's late is that he tends to lock himself out of Tohodo, leaving his book bag inside. He has to wait for either Ai to open the door or someone else to force it open.
325* LockedOutOfTheLoop: From everyone until [[spoiler:Takano is killed.]] It's to be noted that he's the only character not involved with any of the major events until then, since Atsuki is the main character and is involved with everything, Akira gets himself involved in almost every situation that could get him killed, Yayoi is [[spoiler:infected with Silent]], Mika is involved to uncover the truth and drags Shinji along with her (but he's also involved in hacking into FORT's data base), Rui is indirectly involved with everything until [[spoiler:Graham]] targets her, and Hibiki is involved with PHALANX.
326* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: With Hibiki, to the point where you wonder if he's just oblivious or he's doing it on purpose.
327* NerdsAreSexy: It's noted that there are girls that hang around his store just because they find him attractive.
328* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler:Takano dies before Ryo is able to thank him for showing him the wonders of learning as a child. Ryo takes it pretty hard.]]
329%%* NiceGuy: [[BewaretheNiceOnes Most of the time.]]
330%%* OnlyFriend: To Hibiki, which crosses over into LivingEmotionalCrutch territory.
331* ParentalAbandonment: His grandfather died, and the minute that happened, [[spoiler:his parents kicked him out because Ryo chose to inherit Tohodo. Hibiki mentions that Ryo changed because of this.]]
332%%* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Ai and Hibiki in some cases.
333* SelectiveObliviousness: He does not seem to notice that Hibiki has a crush on him and doesn't seem to understand why he's upset when he called him a [[ChivalrousPervert pervert]] [[HypocriticalHumor for commenting]] [[ClingyJealousGirl on]] Ai's looks.
334%%* ShipTease: Gets a lot of it with Hibiki.
335* ShrinkingViolet: Downplayed. He talks a lot to his friends but is rather shy when handling strangers.
336* StoicSpectacles: Wears glasses and is one of the calmer members of his friend group.
337* StrongFamilyResemblance: According to Inagaki, he looks very much like his grandfather before he passed away.
338* TeamDad: He's always giving the moral support of the group when Yayoi fails to do so. Very evident whenever someone ends up in the hospital as well as when the group start fighting amongst each other.
339%%* TeenGenius
340%%* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Hibiki.
341
342!!Shinji Naruse
343!!!Voiced by: Creator/TsubasaYonaga (JP), Creator/GregAyres (EN)
344->[[SaveScumming "You can't press the restart button in real life..."]]
345
346The school's hacker and main troublemaker. He is known for having one of the highest grades in the school, but this allows him to get away with trauncy, hacking, and berating of the teachers.
347
348* BewareTheNiceOnes: While he's far from nice, if you pay attention to his overall expression when he's first introduced, it's very creepy.
349%%* ChildProdigy: In terms of hacking.
350%%* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: See TheInternetIsForPorn.
351* DeadpanSnarker: He's the most sarcastic one of the group. Taken to the extreme when someone is in the hospital.
352* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Subverted. Aoi thinks that Shinji has no idea what he's going to do after high school. Shinji considers being [[spoiler:a surgeon, but gave up the idea after the thought of accidentally killing someone if something were to go wrong.]] Given what [[PlayfulHacker he's good at]], it's safe to say what he plans to do in the future.
353%%* HandsOffParenting
354* HeManWomanHater: A very minor case. According to Atsuki, Shinji is always complaining about women in general and how they're annoying. Given the girls [[{{Tsundere}} he]] [[GenkiGirl hangs]] [[CloudCuckooLander out]] [[TookaLevelinJerkass with]], it's no wonder he thinks this. He never says it out loud, though. In fact, he only complains about Mika to Atsuki in his dating game, and since it's Mika that makes him have this view point of women, it's very justified.
355* {{Hikikomori}}: A more minor example. When he's not at school or hanging out at the internet cafe, he shuts himself up in his room... and this is more times than not, since he's usually skipping.
356%%* IdiotHair: Atsuki himself says he has "really stupid hair" in one of his reports.
357* InformedAbility: Akira clearly stated that Shinji does know martial arts, but compared to everyone else, he's pretty bad because of his height.
358* InsufferableGenius: He's considered a bright student, but he's considered rude and something of a delinquent by the teachers.
359%%* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Yuzi and Naoto
360%%* TheInternetIsForPorn: Literally. This is his punishment for trying to hack into FORT's database. Let's just say he's not impressed. [[AllWomenAreLustful The girls, on the other hand...]]
361%%* KubrickStare: He has a rather nasty one in those rare creepy moments. You'll know when you can't see his pupils.
362%%* NerdsAreSexy
363%%* TheNapoleon
364%%* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks to be 13, but he's certainly 17.
365* ParentalNeglect:
366** His parents are rarely home. When they are home, they seem to ignore him. [[spoiler:When Aoi tried to talk to them about Shinji skipping school, their response was "Let him do what he wants." It doesn't help that he tends to have no food in the house.]]
367** [[spoiler:When Shinji's mind was crushed, he was in a coma. During this time, his parents DID NOT come back to see him. Shinji states that his friends (Atsuki, Akira, Ryo, Rui, Mika, and Yayoi) saved him. Aya comments, though, that ONLY parents tend to be the reason why someone is saved from their mind being ruined.]]
368%%* PlayfulHacker
369%%* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Mika.
370* ShorterMeansSmarter: He's the shortest boy in his group of friends, and he's probably the smartest.
371%%* TheSmartGuy
372* SocialServicesDoesNotExist: Subverted and played straight. People are aware that Shinji's parents don't pay any attention to him and [[spoiler:Aoi even goes out of her way to talk to them. They kick her out of their house and tells her that Shinji can "Do whatever he wants." However, Shinji doesn't change that is suppose to show that he does want something to be different, but simply can't speak up about it because he feels that no one cares, hence his distrust toward adults.]]
373* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Takano's murder]] would have been easily covered up and FORT wouldn't be able to find out who killed him if Shinji didn't [[spoiler:hack into their system and find additional info about AMS Bank that even FORT didn't know about. This almost gets him killed, but this just proves what a deadly hacker he is to put two and two together.]]
374* StepfordSnarker: He's very sarcastic, but with a little digging it becomes clear that he's more troubled than he appears.
375%%* TeenGenius: School in general is considered a piece of cake.
376%%* {{Tsundere}}: He's type A toward everyone and prefers the taunting method. However, only with [[HoYay Atsuki]] does he go deredere a little.
377* UnknownRival: To both Hibiki and Nola. The former in school due to being better at him in math and computers and the latter for her hacking skills.
378* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: [[spoiler:He's scared because he wanted to be a surgeon, but then he thought about the consequences of failing an operation and how you can't restart a person's life.]]
379
380!!Hibiki Kiryu
381!!!Voiced by: Creator/KenjiNojima (JP), Creator/EricVale (EN)
382->"[[NotSoDifferentRemark We're not much different]] from each other, Saijo."
383
384The school's math whiz who has similar powers to Atsuki. He left Kisaragi a year prior to study aboard and came back recently. His caretaker is the SchoolNurse Honoka Hino.
385
386* TheAce: Described as an intelligent student that is better with math and computers than Shinji, which would make him the smartest student in the school. But...
387%%* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To Shinji.
388%%* AnimeHair: So very much.
389%%
390%%%%%%%% Anti-Hero and Anti-Villain are mutually exclusive
391%%* AntiHero[=/=]AntiVillain: In-series example; he would be considered an AntiVillain, but to the player, it's obvious that he's an AntiHero.
392%%
393%%* BadassLongcoat: Apparently, this is what he likes wearing.
394* BreakTheCutie: Before he was even introduced, he was technically broken when you get some pieces of information from his past ([[ParentalAbandonment parents dying in a car accident]], [[DespairEventHorizon being emotionally unstable]], and [[IntelligenceEqualsIsolation isolated from his peers]]. Then when he gets back to Japan, he tries to play hero and help people out... and then FORT targets him because he [[spoiler:murdered Yamato and is considered too dangerous.]] Things go down from there when [[spoiler:Liu Yee almost kills him. He then falls into a coma, and depending on the route...]]
395%%* BrokenAce: He has a lot of psychological issues.
396* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: He kills Yamato for the sake of saving Rui and everyone in the cafeteria. He ends up getting targeted by FORT and almost killed as a result, and depending on the ending, he may or may not be killed by Honoka.
397%%* TheChewToy: His life in this game is terrible.
398* ChivalrousPervert: Subverted. Ryo thinks he is this when Hibiki comments on how cute the new manager of Tohodo, Ai Iida, is. Hibiki, however, says this with a depressed look.
399%%* DeadpanSnarker: Toward Ryo, mainly just to annoy the heck out of him.
400* DefusingTheTykeBomb: Defied in the series. Atsuki's chance to actually help him out is denied because FORT thinks the best way to handle Hibiki is to kill him. As a result, Liu Yee gets injured and they almost lose the true culprit of SILENT. Lampshaded in the normal ending where Ray says that if Hibiki didn't die, then they would have had gotten their target.
401%%* DespairEventHorizon: Hinted to have almost crossed it in his backstory until Honoka and Ryo pulled him out of it.
402%%* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Shinji's quote about him pretty much sums it up. "I admit he's handsome but that's it."
403* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Some characters think Hibiki has a crush on Ryo, ranging from [[YaoiFangirl Suzu]] cheering for them to other characters questioning their relationship. Even Atsuki seems dubious at one point according to the profile he keeps of each character. Then again, [[ShipperOnDeck he eventually falls into the role]] as Suzu.
404* FearlessFool: He has shades of this, especially when [[spoiler:Yamato takes the school hostage and the first thing he does is run into the school to save everyone. The rescue mission is successful, but the aftermath isn't.]]
405%%* GoodWithNumbers
406* HeelFaceTurn: Switches to Atsuki's side if he's saved. However, even if he switches sides, FORT doesn't care, but decides to leave him alone since he loses his powers.
407%%* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: When it comes to [[spoiler:Edward]], he's pretty dumb.
408%%* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: It's hinted as a major problem in middle school. What Shinji tells you about Hibiki beside his looks also hints at it.
409* KilledOffForReal: In the normal ending, [[spoiler:he's killed by a Silent-infected Honoka]].
410%%* KillTheCutie: In the normal ending, he's dead if you don't stop Honoka. Otherwise, he gets better.
411* LikeBrotherAndSister: Thinks of Honoka as this or as a motherly figure.
412%%* MadMathematician: "I love math. It's beautiful in its simplicity."
413* ParentalAbandonment: His parents died in a car accident. This causes him to become emotionally unstable until Honoka came along to take him under her wing.
414%%* PureIsNotGood: Ryo describes him as a pure individual. However, that seems to be far from the case.
415%%* SanitySlippage: Implied after he kills Yamato, but snaps out of it rather quickly.
416* TheSixthRanger: Shows up later in the game than the other Kisaragi students, though he never quite becomes part of the group.
417%%* StalkerWithACrush: Played for laughs when it concerns Atsuki. Just how did he manage to get Atsuki's number if a.) Atsuki NEVER gave him the number and b.) Ryo doesn't have a cellphone?
418%%* StepfordSmiler: An obvious type A [[spoiler:with a hinted type B and C, but type C is later subverted and justified.]]
419%%* StepfordSnarker
420%%* TeenGenius: When it comes to math.
421%%* {{Telepathy}}: Not as strong as Atsuki's, but still strong enough to kill someone.
422%%* TykeBomb
423%%* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: In a sense toward Ryo.
424%%* UnwittingPawn: Edward uses him to further his plans.
425%%* WellIntentionedExtremist: All he wanted was to save Rui. This almost ends badly on his part.
426
427!!Takuya Inoue
428
429A quiet student that is often bullied by other students. He resents the smart and confident students and tends to write bad things in a notebook about them hoping something bad will happen to them.
430
431%%* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The reason he's [[spoiler:infected with Silent.]]
432%%* CharacterDevelopment
433* DontYouDarePityMe: [[spoiler:He absolutely loathes Honoka because she's the only person that encourages him. As a result, he sees it as a bad thing as the jerk jocks continue to harass him.]]
434* EmbarrassingNickname: Due to his heads shape both Shinji and the private eye high school detective nickname him 'mushroom'.
435* {{Gonk}}: Takuya is in a school full of attractive guys, compared to them he's incredibly plain, has bags under his eyes, his skin is super pale and his hair looks messy and dirty. He's actually more HollywoodHomely but due to the way he's designed he's this.
436* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler:The reason why Silent infects him.]] To sum it up, [[spoiler:he's jealous of ''every'' male character (except Ryo) in the game. He's jealous of Akira because he [[BigManonCampus flaunts his strength]] and tries to [[KnightinShiningArmor play hero]] when [[FailureKnight he's not]]. He hates Shinji because of his [[InsufferableGenius arrogant nature]] and being able to [[KarmaHoudini skip school without consequences]]. He absolutely despises Hibiki because he has someone like [[CoolBigSis Honoka]] to take care of him and takes it for granted. Finally, he dislikes Atsuki because Atsuki apparently read his journal and was the reason why Sayuri stopped talking to him.]]
437%%* HiddenDepths
438* KindheartedCatLover: Towards the end of the game, he starts taking care of some stray kittens.
439* OddFriendship: With Sayuri until she breaks it off because he gave his direct opinion of her favorite author.
440%%* ShrinkingViolet
441* ThisLoserIsYou: Compared to the other male students in the series, he's not attractive, not very athletic, has low self-esteem, doesn't do well in school, and often goes crying to Honoka. As a result, he's bullied by the jerk jocks of the school and later loses the only girl that bothered to talk to him.
442
443!!Sayuri Makino
444
445A quiet girl that is known for reading and hanging out at Pumpkin Witch. She is an early target of the serial killer but manages to escape. However, that fateful encounter changes her personality with each episode...
446
447* AndIMustScream: Sayuri seems to be aware that she's changing, but in her mind, she knows she can't change anything. It gets to the point where she's screaming for help when she's in front of the hospital with a gun pointed to her head.
448%%* BreakTheCutie
449* BrutalHonesty: Blame [[spoiler:Silent.]] However, the biggest example is when she tells Akira that he should stop being a stupid jock and choose a woman instead of being a dick about it. [[BerserkButton Akira takes that as well as you expect.]]
450%%* CharacterDevelopment
451%%* CuteAndPsycho: When Silent possesses her.
452%%* DesignatedVictim: Of [[spoiler:Silent.]]
453%%* NerdsAreSexy
454%%* NotHerself: She starts losing it at the beginning.
455* OddFriendship: With Takuya, but apparently breaks it off when he insults her favorite author.
456%%* {{Otaku}}: Of anime and manga.
457%%* SanitySlippage: After episode 3, it goes downhill. She gets better in episode 17 if you save her from shooting herself.
458%%* ShrinkingViolet: At first before she is attacked by the serial killer.
459%%* TookALevelInJerkass: Because of Silent.
460[[/folder]]
461
462[[folder: Kisaragi Teachers]]
463
464!!Honoka Hino
465
466The school's nurse who gives moral support to all of her students. She is one of the most loved teachers due to her looks and her personality and also the youngest. She once worked in the hospital but quit due to a certain incident. She helped console Hibiki Kiryu into enjoying school again and literally adopted him.
467
468* AlliterativeName: '''H'''onoka '''H'''ino.
469* BrokenBird: Is already implied to be broken when the series begins, but hides it very well behind her smile. However, once Hibiki falls into a coma, she starts losing it...
470* CoolBigSis: Acts as one toward the students of Kisaragi High, particularly Hibiki.
471* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her hair and eyes are both orange.
472* CynicismCatalyst: She had a patient who was like a little sister to her. Her patient only had four months to live and Honoka kept telling her lies that everything would be okay. Before she died, though, she told Honoka to stop forcing herself to smile. Honoka's quote after that thought was, "Honestly, what was the point in all of that?!"
473%%* FreakOut: The thought of Hibiki not waking up causes this if you don't remove her Silent.
474%%* GenkiGirl: At first glance...
475* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Says on her profile that she loves to get drunk.

491
492* BewareTheNiceOnes: She looks to be the kindest teacher of the bunch, but when you push the wrong buttons, look out! Atsuki, Akira, Mika, Shinji, and Takano know she's very scary when she's mad.
493%%* EroticEating
494* HerHeartWillGoOn: [[spoiler:She admits to being in love with Takano and then decides to move on because he would hate to see her cry.]]

506%%* ShipperOnDeck: For Atsuki/Rui.
507* SternTeacher: The only one who seems to take her job seriously because: Honoka tends to tease her students about stuff not related to school, Takano tends to skip class to focus on his OD experiment, Yamato is downright cruel and tends not to do his job correctly, Arthur is rather sickly and is not at school often, and Naoto is just a substitute teacher.
508%%* SweetTooth:

527* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Mays or Mayes.

538%%* HeKnowsTooMuch
539* KilledOffForReal: There is no way to save him.
540%%* {{Manchild}}

544
545!!Tadashi Yamato
546
547The hated math teacher at the school. He treats all of his students with disrespect except [[TheAce Hibiki]] (because he can keep up in his messed up class) and won't hesitate to call them out. He loves guns more than anything else.
548
549%%* BadassInANiceSuit
550%%* BaldOfEvil

553* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:When he tries to take the school hostage, he's killed by the one student that he didn't hate in the most gruesome fashion.]]
554* SadistTeacher: Giving your student detention for being a second late, giving out a test when someone is either sick (or skipping in Shinji's case), and yelling at the transfer student who is trying to get used to the school... that's pretty sadistic.
555* SawedOffShotgun: The weapon he uses to shoot [[spoiler:Akira.]]
556%%* TriggerHappy
557
558!!Naoto Hidaka
559
560A freelance photographer who has been taking pictures of unique places and things. Recently, after taking pictures of war, he decided to settle down and take pictures in Kisaragi, becoming a substitute teacher in the process.
561
562* CameraFiend: He's not anywhere without his camera. He uses it to take pictures of the supernatural. Nami does not like this, though.
563%%* CoolTeacher

577!!Yui Yamase
578!!!Voiced by: Creator/MasumiAsano (JP), Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard (EN)
579Rui's older sister and a dedicated cop of Kisaragi. Unlike her partner Mako, she is very strict with the law and chooses the safety of the people over the opinion of a person.
580
581%%* AlliterativeName
582%%* BreakTheHaughty
583* DefectiveDetective: She would have a better time solving her cases if she didn't YELL AT EVERYBODY!
584* DoesNotLikeMen: According to Atsuki's data, he states that her attitude toward the men in the police station is that of extreme dislike. Her preference of men may be hard to define simply because she may not be interested because of [[LesYay someone else.]]
585%%* DrivenToSuicide: Hinted that she planned to kill herself after everyone else.
586%%* FairCop
587* FauxActionGirl: Similar to Aya, but with worse consequences. She's a cop, but she actually panicked when the {{serial killer}} first attacked Sayuri instead of being patient and helpful like Mako was. To make it worse, near the end of the game, she too gets captured by Silent infectees.
588%%* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Mako.
589%%* {{Hypocrite}}
590%%* INeedAFreakingDrink: After her breakdown.

597%%* LethalChef: According to her profile.
598%%* LoveMakesYouCrazy: She is willing to kill Lt. Tanaka to satisfy the hatred in her heart.
599* MarriedToTheJob: Rui says that after their father died, Yui dedicated herself to being a cop to follow in her father's footsteps. However, this has caused her to be distant from their sickly mother and Rui as well.
600%%* MsFanservice
601%%* MurderIsTheBestSolution: To get back at Lt. Tanaka. She defied the police rules to steal a gun to do it.
602%%* PoliceAreUseless
603* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Rui outright states that Yui was so determined to get the guy that [[spoiler:killed Mako]] that she would resort to fortune telling, which she didn't believe in.
604%%* SayMyName: MAAAKKOOOOO!
605%%* ShaggyDogStory: The bad ending if the player is stupid enough to not remove her Silent.
606* SiblingYinYang: While both are loud when they're angry, Rui is prone to be the sympathetic one (due to her powers) of the two while Yui is apathetic.
607%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's the tomboy.
608* TookALevelInJerkass: After [[spoiler:Mako's death]], she becomes dead-set on finding the killer going as far as to threaten Atsuki with arrest because he's wandering around and threatening to take Mika's only opportunity to become a reporter away.
609* {{Yandere}}: She would kill Lt. Tanaka to avenge Mako's death. In Rui's fortune and in the bad ending, she won't hesitate to kill anyone who stands in her way on her path of revenge.
610
611!!Mako Ando
612->"I'll buy you a cup of ramen one day when I'm not on duty."
613
614Yui's partner and a cop well-known in Kisaragi. She is known for being a strong yet sweet woman that is willing to listen to anyone for info on the serial killer.
615
616* ActionGirl: Mako is the most helpful older woman on the work field. For one thing, she's always working on the {{serial killer}}, and unlike Yui, she has leads on who the killer is. Also, Mika describes in the flashback that she was able to help her and Akira [[spoiler:with the copycat killer.]]
617* BewareTheNiceOnes: Lt. Tanaka describes her as a scary woman when she's mad. In his own words, while Yui yells at him, which is scary enough, Mako apparently kicks him and screams at him if he messes up.
618* BunnyEarsLawyer: At first glance, she doesn't seem to be taking her job seriously. That's until she starts investigating last year's incident...
619%%* FairCop
620%%* HeroicSacrifice

633
634!!Lt. Tanaka
635
636An inferior officer to Yui and Mako. He is very clumsy and admires both women for their tough nature.

639%%* DetectiveMole
640%%* TheDitz
641%%* ObfuscatingStupidity

643* PsychopathicManchild: He thinks it's [[FortheLulz funny]] to go after the same target each year. He even treats Akira as the villain for figuring out that he was the killer.
644%%* SerialKiller: The one from last year's incident and this year.
645%%* SmugSnake
646* StalkerWithACrush: He has a disturbing fascination with Mika. When Atsuki reads his mind, his obsession is caused by the fact that he wants to see her suffer. Multiple times in the game, the serial killer that Atsuki reads is always near Mika. One example is when Atsuki and Mika were eating at Sweet Ring. Shortly after she leaves, he reads the Shinen of someone spying on them. This causes PlotInducedStupidity because Atsuki does nothing about it until episode 11.

651

654An eleven-year-old girl with the power to communicate with animals. She is Yayoi's cheerful younger sister and is the first person that Atsuki meets in Kisaragi. Her guardian is a big Spanish Mastiff named Melody.
655
656* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Toma states she is bullied for her powers, but she seems unaffected. This seems to be untrue though, because at one point in the game, [[spoiler:she stated that she hated humans because they treated Melody poorly.]]
657%%* BerserkButton:
658* BreakTheCutie: Near the end of the game, when she started taking care of the cat Mint, it suddenly disappeared on her. You spend the entire episode 19 searching for the cat that is infected by Silent. Mint is already dead, though, so Nami ends up grieving for the poor cat... and then the witch hunt happens. She doesn't hide from the people that are after her. She stays with Melody, who goes off to find the one who caused it. This results in [[spoiler:Graham destroying Melody's mind, literally killing off the poor dog.]] She goes into an {{unstoppable rage}}, but that is not enough to stop [[spoiler:Graham and this results in her getting captured and used for his sick game, but thanks to Atsuki, she is saved before Graham could 'merge with her'.]]
659* BullyingADragon: See AllOfTheOtherReindeer. It's a miracle that Nami has been able to hold her powers back against the kids that bullied her. This explains why she's always hanging out with the high school students.
660* CainAndAbel: Almost results in Yayoi's death.
661%%* CheerfulChild
662%%* TheCutie
663* DeliberatelyCuteChild: A minor example. She uses her looks to get away with minor offenses and it annoys the heck out of her sister.
664%%* TheFakeCutie
665* FluffyTamer: When she's angry, she can control the animals around her to do her bidding.
666%%* FieryRedhead
667* FreeRangeChildren: Justified that her parents have no idea what she's doing. Her sister knows and tries to prevent this, but Nami doesn't listen.
668* FriendToAllLivingThings: A big animal lover. Indeed, she actually seems to prefer the company of animals to people.
669* HappilyAdopted: Compared to her sister, she's happy to have parents that took them both in. However, she is annoyed that she has the smallest room in the house.
670* HiddenDepths: She seems like an ordinary cheerful girl...until you break her down psychologically.
671* HumansAreBastards: Her view on humanity as a whole. Atsuki just happens to change it.
672* JustAKid: Many of the adults she hates comment on how she won't be able to stop them because she's a kid. She deals with them by using Atsuki.
673%%* LittleMissBadass
674* PrecociousCrush: Develops one on Atsuki. The game in her archive scene outright has her admit to it.
675* ShipperOnDeck: She ships herself with Atsuki, especially in her dating game.

677%%* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Her powers.
678%%* TokenMiniMoe
679%%* UnstoppableRage: When [[spoiler:Graham]] attacks [[spoiler:Melody]].

681
682!!Toma Kamada
683Nami's classmate that is rather quiet and reserved. Once [[spoiler:his Silent]] is removed, he gains the power to read the thoughts of people and uses it to protect Nami in any way he can.
684
685* BlessedWithSuck: Shortly after [[spoiler:his Silent]] is removed, he gains the power to read other people's minds. The first thing he does is check what his friends think of him. [[spoiler:Turns out they only want him around to get candy, and he runs off crying.]]
686%%* NotHimself: Nami says this when he gets in trouble with the police.
687%%* {{Telepathy}}
688
689!!Kenichi Mido
690
691Akira's father who runs Sweet Ring. He lost his wife and refused to go to her funeral. He treats his son like dirt to cope with the loss, but as Akira starts to mature because of it, he slowly opens up to his son again.
692
693* AbusiveParents: A {{deconstruction}} of this trope. The things he does to Akira can border on Mental Abuse. However, because Akira fights with his dad instead of taking it all in, this trope is subverted. And then it turns out that Kenichi does love his son very much, [[ToughLove but doesn't know how to show it.]] He even admits to Atsuki that he feels like a failure dad.

702* PapaWolf: While he is a dad, he doesn't show this to Akira. Instead, he shows this side toward his friends (mainly Mika, Rui, Yayoi, Nami, and later Atsuki).
703* ParentsAsPeople: He's the only parent to be seen in the game, while all the other characters either have [[DotingParent parents that]] [[HappilyAdopted love them]], [[ParentalNeglect parents that]] [[AbusiveParents don't give a damn about them]], or [[ParentalAbandonment parents that are dead.]]
704
705!!Kyosuke Kagami
706
707A "private investigator" (information broker in the JP version) that takes low paying missions for information. He often trades info with Mika by means of tricking her (and it usually fails because she tends to leave as soon as she gets her info). He received a specific mission to find a person online named Pinkie who suddenly disappeared from the chat room.
708
709* AlliterativeName: '''K'''yosuke '''K'''agami.
710%%* CoolShades: He defines this trope.
711%%* DeadpanSnarker: When around Mika. However, he went too far one time and got his ass kicked.

713%%* FriendToAllChildren: Nami ''loves'' this guy.
714* GoodSamaritan: He told Inagaki that the reason he took the job as a PI was because he wanted to help people with the smallest things and make their life better.
715%%* InTheHood
716%%* KilledOffForReal: Out of all the cool people, why did he have to die?!
717* KnowledgeBroker: If you need information, go to him. However, Mika usually does, and he ends up getting duped by her as a result.
718* MistakenForMurderer: You can have Atsuki assume he's a murderer, which has hilarious results.
719%%* NiceGuy: To everyone unless it's Mika.
720* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He gets murdered when he tries to find this online friend called "Pinkie". Naturally, he thinks it's a minor thing, but in reality, this is a huge thing and gets him killed as a result.
721* ParentalAbandonment: [[https://redux-pain.tumblr.com/post/183166162766/fort-profile-kagami-kyousuke According to his profile]], he only has an older sister, indicating that his parents are likely deceased.
722%%* SitcomArchNemesis: With Mika.
723
724!!Meilin Fu
725
726A Chinese woman that came from China to run a store on her own. She has the power to quickly change her Shinen based on her mood. She quickly falls for Atsuki because they are alive. She is [[spoiler:the daughter of a powerful family in China called the Red Tigers that are surprisingly telepaths like FORT. The major difference is that they are willing to protect Mei-Lin at any cost.]]
727
728%%* AnimeChineseGirl

731* ButNowIMustGo: She leaves in EPISODE 20 because Kisaragi was becoming too dangerous for her. Liu Yee explains this to you before commenting on how Kisaragi would have been screwed if Atsuki didn't befriend her. She leaves behind a panda doll for Atsuki in the last episode.

738
739!!Ai Iida/Handa
740
741The replacement manager of Tohodo. She's a risk taker, quitting her job before Ryo approved of her. She is able to memorize the call number of any book very quickly. Within a week, she memorized every book that was in Tohodo, earning her a job. She encourages Ryo to get out more and hang out with his friends and worries for him often.
742
743* AlternateCharacterReading: Her name is supposed to be read as [[https://redux-pain.tumblr.com/post/183565944912/fort-profile-handa-ai Iida]], but official translation turned it into Handa.
744%%* CoolBigSis: Functions as one for Ryo.

746%%* GenkiGirl: So very much.
747%%* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Ryo.

749
750!!Razzly Portmen
751
752A reporter at SEAGULL whose job is to broadcast the latest news. While she tends to care about her looks and seem vain, she is a strong, kind woman who looks after Mika due to her recklessness.
753
754* DisappearedDad: Her profile states that she has a mother and a younger sister, suggesting that her father isn't in the picture.
755* TheMentor: Being a local newscaster, she is this to Mika, who wants to be a journalist.
756* ShipperOnDeck: Supports Atsuki/Mika to Mika's dismay.
757%%* UncannyValleyMakeup
758
759!!Shunichi Inagaki
760
761A retired musician that decided to take it easy in the Deep Sea of area 4. He takes care of Kyosuke and worries for his well-being. He has a huge crush on Kenichi Mido.
762
763* CampGay: Downplayed. He has his moments, particularly when dealing with Akira's dad, but for the most part he's pretty down-to-earth.
764%%* CannotSpitItOut: His feelings for Akira's dad.
765* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Yayoi makes it very apparent that everyone in Kisaragi knows that he has a crush on Akira's father. The only two people that don't seem to know that are both Midos. [[OblivioustoLove Typical.]]
766%%* MistakenForBadass: Atsuki calls him hardcore in his report about him. Everyone else thinks the latter.
767%%* NiceGuy
768* ShipperOnDeck: He firmly supports Kyosuke/Mika, but it kind of hints that he supports Atsuki with Akira.
769
770%%!!Anan Tsuji
771
772%%A man that owns the arcade known as TOYBOX. He has a very nerdy appearance and is experienced with video games. However, he is prone to mood swings and often takes his anger out on the customers and police that come to visit him.
773
774%%* {{Jerkass}}: At times.
775%%* MoodSwinger: To the extreme. Even when he's not infected with Silent, he tends to show this.
776
777!!Suzu Kano
778->"Ah, a stud and a stud. That's true romance right there."
779
780A nurse that works at Shinsei Hospital. She is best friends with Honoka and tends to fantasize people in romantic situations. This has caused rumors to spread about other people.
781
782* BunnyEarsLawyer: All she talks about is romance and yaoi whenever you talk about her, so it makes you wonder what she did in episode 20 when it appeared that Honoka was doing most of the work. [[https://redux-pain.tumblr.com/post/183543330457/fort-profiles-k-suzu Apparently]], she ''did'' work hard to get patients to a safe place, using what she learned from Honoka.
783%%* FanGirl: Of romance.
784%%* HospitalHottie
785%%* LoveFreak
786* YaoiFangirl: To the extreme. Hibiki is her main victim, though, as she's willing to pair him up with either Atsuki or Ryo. In fact, she spends most of the last episode trying to figure out if Hibiki and Ryo are going out and which one was the {{seme}}. Eventually, she'll ask for Atsuki's opinion. You can say who confessed first (which determines who tops), or you could just reject the whole thing entirely, resulting in her turning her attention to YOU.
787
788!!Yumiko Sakai
789
790An old lady that owns the movie theater South End in area 4. She is wise and observant, but loses hope instantly when the situation is desperate. She loves seeing people smile when they watch movies.
791
792* GuideDangIt: Trying to remove her Silent is more difficult than saving Hibiki from Honoka! The problem with her Silent is that you have to read her mind in [[ThatOneLevel EPISODE 7]]. This is the episode where Yayoi goes missing, and you have that time limit to save her or it's game over. To prevent this, go in all the locations where Yayoi would go [[spoiler:-- The Tower where the group suicide took place and the Production Art to find Arthur. After that, you go find Nami at Pumpkin Witch (because that place is the place you least expect anyone important to be). Nami tells you all the places you should visit. You only need to go to one of them (Sweet Ring or Rainbow Hill) before choosing TOYBOX, where you'll find Nami again, who isn't giving up on Yayoi. At this point, Yayoi will be in the Yuhigaoka House area. Instead of going there directly, you'll have plenty of time to go to the POLICE STATION and talk to Mako, who talks about going to get some info on the serial killer. Follow her to SOUTH END and read Sakai's mind.]] After you do all of this, whenever South End is opened in episodes after that, you just go there, use memory, and read her mind. Once [[spoiler:Lt. Tanaka]] is captured, you can remove her Silent and save her life as well as make South End still accessible in the game.
793* KeepingSecretsSucks: This is why she's infected with Silent. [[spoiler:She knew that Lt. Tanaka was the serial killer, but decided not to tell the police last year because she was in denial that a nice man like him was a killer. Hiding him also would make her a criminal as well because her suspicions were clear.]]
794* NeverFoundTheBody: If you fail to remove her Silent, she simply disappears, leaving no trace of her behind.
795%%* OlderAndWiser
796
797!!Yuzi Okura
798
799A strange man that works at Yuzi. He often changes his store to fit his taste... which is very bad. He has a bad time at managing things and is often taken advantage of. His only friend is Shinji, and he respects him greatly.
800
801* AFriendInNeed: He's willing to do anything for Shinji. Even selling his store that he practically lives in and inherited by his family to some stranger claiming that Shinji is in danger.
802* ArtisticLicenseEconomics: He doesn't manage his money...or his store well. I mean, he gives his store to Nola because she's a pretty girl that said that Shinji's life was in danger. An EpicFail when you realize how stupid Nola's story is.
803%%* TheChewToy: Whenever you meet him, something bad always happens.
804* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: He brings this up to Atsuki because some guy was hitting on him. Depending on your answer, you can freak him out even more or convince him that he isn't gay.
805* {{Gonk}}: Has buck teeth which gives his face a very mouse like appearance.
806%%* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Shinji.
807* NoSocialSkills: The reason he makes everyone mad is because he can't seem to act normally. One time as you come into his shop he's looking over a customer's shoulder and can't seem to understand why someone would find that creepy, he also has no idea what the term 'troll' means despite running an internet cafe. His social skills are.....subpar to say the least.
808* TheScrappy: In universe example. Girls seem to hate his guts simply because he's an idiot and unintentionally pisses them off. Yayoi unintentionally refers to him as an unlikable person and even Shinji, who is his only friend, apparently is annoyed by him.
809%%* TooDumbToLive: At times.
810
811!!Hiroshi Tazaki
812
813An abusive animal caretaker that neglects feeding his animals. No one stops him because there is [[BlatantLies no definite proof that he abuses them.]]
814
815%%* AnimalsHateHim: With good reason.
816* ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare: Nami even describes the things he does from not feeding the animals at all to hitting a dog with a stick.
817* DeathByIrony: He kills animals for the fun of it and then he gets killed by one possessed cat.
818%%* {{Jerkass}}
819* PaterFamilicide: [[spoiler:Murders his entire family because of Silent, but then is later killed because of the cat that he killed.]]
820
821!!Kunio Hoshino
822
823A man that works at Day & Night. He is all about cleanliness and hates kids with disrespect over anything. While he's polite toward Atsuki, he has demonstrated his dark side toward him.
824
825%%* {{Jerkass}}: Who goes up to a little kid for touching the screen door of the convenient store and yells at them until they cry?
826* KickTheSonOfABitch: While he's not a likable person, according to Yayoi, people were cheering when he beat up Tomoyo when she came to his store and insulted him for having no taste.
827* MissingMom: According to his [[https://redux-pain.tumblr.com/post/183359936169/fort-profile-hoshino-kunio profile]], his family consists of himself, his father, and two older brothers, indicating that his mother is not in the picture.
828* NeatFreak: As a result of being TerrifiedOfGerms.
829* PutOnABus: Once Atsuki removes his Silent, Liu Yee takes him away somewhere. Where? No one knows because you don't hear about him again. Not like anyone else cares because Kyosuke takes over Day & Night soon after.
830* TerrifiedOfGerms: The reason that he's such a neat freak as you're scanning his shinen is that he's a complete germaphobe (which is part of the reason he went after a toddler, the toddler was covered in mud and was touching the windows), apparently when his parents died in the back alley they were near or in a dumpster. The term 'filthy' is repeated several times and was explained as him having a pathological phobia of filth.
831%%* UnstoppableRage: Anger management problems!
832%%* WouldHitAGirl: If it's Tomoyo, then all is fair game.
833* YouAreWhatYouHate: He hates filth more than anything, but in reality, he himself is a filthy bastard.
834
835!!Shigeru Enokida
836
837A cheerful man that works at the post office mainly cleaning the entire place from top to bottom. He takes care of Melody in Nami's place and worries for her safety. He has a doll called Kee-Chan.
838
839%%* BerserkButton: Don't touch K-Chan if you value your life.
840%%* BewareTheNiceOnes: Insulting Nami is a great way to set him off.
841%%* CloudCuckooLander
842* ClusterFBomb: When [[spoiler:Graham started the witch hunt]], he doesn't hesitate to throw a fit and call him "chicken shit".
843
844!!Tomoyo Hirooka
845
846A rich woman that owns the Civic Hall. She only cares about men with money and discards everyone else that she considers useless. She constantly hits on Atsuki due to his looks rather than his money.
847
848* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Atsuki, to the point where Atsuki, in the game dialogue, actually seems to try and avoid her at all costs (as there are multiple options to run when he sees her and decline her offer). This is why Atsuki is almost thrilled that she's not chasing him anymore when she goes after Yuzi of all people.
849%%* GoldDigger
850%%* OnlyInItForTheMoney
851%%* {{Greed}}
852* {{Jerkass}}: So much. Most noticeably with Rui and how she regards her as a fake because Rui ''WOULDN'T GIVE HER THE FUTURE SHE WANTED''. Also with Yuzi when she realized that he had no money and discarded him to go back to hitting on Atsuki.
853%%* MoneyFetish: So much.
854%%* RichBitch
855* StalkerWithACrush: While she isn't a stalker and her crush is fake due to wanting money, it's to be noted how she makes advances on Atsuki whenever he sees her.
856%%* UncannyValleyMakeUp
857
858!!Katsuhisa Hamana
859
860A thug that causes trouble for people around Kisaragi. He is prone to Silent infections because he can't think on his own.
861
862%%* DumbMuscle
863* EmptyShell: Atsuki claims in Episode 19 that Katsuhisa is finished because Silent infected him too many times and his personality by default is that of a monster.
864%%%% Jerkass needs to be rewritten to not be a list.
865* {{Jerkass}}: Coming into Sweet Ring and yelling at Nami for bringing a dog into the store and threatening to sue the place. (Akira gets his SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in this scene where he successfully forces him to leave without losing his temper.) Threatening to hurt Atsuki on multiple occasions. Threatening to kill Rui. This does not end well for him, as Rui throws a crystal ball in his face (shattering it) and Kei distracted him until Atsuki arrived.
866%%* TheSoulless
867%%* StupidEvil: Who is stupid enough to cause a scene in a restaurant, much less a fortune telling store?
868* WouldHitAGirl: He tried to kidnap Rui, and when she retaliated, he did try to hurt her.
869* WouldHurtAChild: If Akira wasn't there to stop him, he would have hit Nami. He also attacked Kei when he defended Rui.
870
871!!Kei Tono
872->"I'm...me..."
873
874A mysterious boy that pledges loyalty toward Rui and swore to protect her from the darkness. [[spoiler:He is actually Atsuki's childhood self before being tainted by the cruel reality of the world. They separated when Rui tried to read their minds. He witnessed Mika's brainwashing by Graham and later merged with Atsuki after succeeding in protecting Rui.]]
875
876%%* BodyguardCrush:
877* ShipperOnDeck: He supports Atsuki and Rui hooking up, as Rui will be the person to 'save him' from himself.
878%%* CheerfulChild
879* KnightInShiningArmor: Mika thinks Kei is this toward Rui.
880%%* TaremeEyes

885!!Melody
886
887A Spanish Mastiff that follows Nami around. Melody is very protective of Nami and will go to extreme lengths to keep her safe.
888
889%%* BigFriendlyDog
890%%* TheDogBitesBack: She bites [[spoiler:Graham]], hoping to stop the madness.
891%%* EvilDetectingDog
892%%* HeroicDog

894%%* IntellectualAnimal
895* LoyalAnimalCompanion: She follows Nami everywhere.
896
897!!Mint
898
899A Siamese cat that was abused by Tazaki. Nami took the cat in and nursed it back to health, only for him to disappear. This cat has been rumored to drive people who see it insane.
900
901%%* AnimalAssassin: Tazaki got what was coming to him.
902%%* AnimalBattleAura: It's so powerful that Atsuki was injured by how negative it was.
903%%* CatScare: Literally what drives people ballistic.
904%%* IntellectualAnimal
905* KilledOffForReal: Nami is in denial that the cat was dead all along, but others saw Mint as a ghost that made people go crazy. Only by Atsuki removing the Silent from Mint does Nami accept the fact.
906* KnightTemplar: Toward Nami, because she was the only person that actually cared for him.
907* TalkingAnimal: While it seems the cat is talking, Mint is just using {{telepathy}} to speak to Nami and Atsuki.

912!!Lil
913!!!Voiced by: Creator/AsamiImai (JP), Creator/BrinaPalencia (EN)
914A mysterious girl that has a connection to Arthur Mays. At age ten, she died due to her parents neglecting her, but even then, she continued to smile. While she doesn't hold any ill will toward anyone, she has an Original Silent that Atsuki must eliminate.
915
916%%* AbusiveParents
917* DramaticIrony: She was on the website to tell people not to kill themselves. [[spoiler:Her Silent causes people to become suicidal and kill themselves.]]
918%%* KillTheCutie
919%%* MysteriousWaif
920* OnlyOneName: Justified, as her parents refused to register her as their daughter.
921* TheOphelia: Subverted. The first impression is she might be this, but then you realize that she's too pure to have any signs of craziness.
922%%* ParentalNeglect
923* ThePollyanna: Her defining trait. Even when she died, she kept thinking happy thoughts and of the moment she spent with Arthur.

927!!Edward Steiner
928!!!Voiced by: Creator/BanjoGinga (JP), Creator/BillJenkins (EN)
929An old man who runs the AMS Bank as well as a writer for the famous novel, Phantom. He is wise and knowledgeable despite his old age. However, some characters can't help but question his character. [[spoiler:Turns out he's the leader of the rival organization of FORT, known as PHALANX, whose ultimate goal is to co-exist with Silent. He does cruel things such as tricking Hibiki into joining PHALANX, destroying Shinji's mind (almost killing him in the process), killing Takano by forcing him to commit suicide, and almost successfully manipulated Ryo. However, thanks to Atsuki wearing him down in battle and Liu Yee finishing him off, his plans have been put on halt for eternity and PHALANX has disbanded thanks to his death.]]
930
931%%* AffablyEvil: He's ''really'' polite.
932%%* DiscOneFinalBoss: You'll know this if you go past episode 19.
933%%* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor
934%%* KickTheDog: Toward Hibiki, and leads to...

936%%* ManipulativeBastard: Poor Hibiki...
937* MindRape: [[spoiler:He is successful toward Hibiki and Shinji (who barely make it out alive) and murders Takano with this.]]
938%%* PuppeteerParasite
939* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Not only is he the man that owns AMS Bank, but he is an author of the famous series Phantom. No one but [[spoiler:Takano]] suspected anything, and only through using Lux Pain did Atsuki find out about him.

942
943!!Graham Miller

945A mysterious man that claims to be a spy. While no one takes him seriously, he seems to intrigue those that he talks to. [[spoiler:And everybody he talks to goes insane.

946
947%%* AffablyEvil
948%%* AxeCrazy: Despite the way he talks, he's hinted to be a very insane person.
949%%* BigBad: You wouldn't think this by looking at him and how he talks.
950* DeathByIrony: Ray mentions that by trying to combine with the Shinen, he got his wish, but it killed him in the end.
951%%* DevilInPlainSight: Compared to Edward, he stands out more.
952%%* {{Greed}}: With a combination of [[VillainousGlutton gluttony]].
953* InsaneTrollLogic: When he's talking to Aoi, he inserts many reasons why he can't find his "friends", and she finds this hilarious.
954* KarmicDeath: Even if it was Atsuki that finished him off, Ray hints that he was killed by the desire of wanting to be one with the Shinen pool.
