* HimeCut

* LittleBlackDress
* [[spoiler:MadnessMantra: YOU KILLED HIM! YOU KILLED HIM! YOU KILLED HIM!]]

* MindOverMatter: One of her abilities.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Essi feels more awkward being around [[spoiler:Anon when he's being straight-forward and serious than when he's being a playful pervert.]]

* [[spoiler:PowerFloats: At the end of Anon's GoodEnding, though Essi initially believes that he is capable of doing this.]]

* [[spoiler:RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In Anon's BadEnding, she loses touch with her sanity and ends up killing Loil in a fit of rage.]]
* SlapSlapKiss: With Anon.
* SleepCute: In Oure's path.
* {{Telepathy}}: One of her abilities.

* TheAce
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: When he was a kid.

* [[spoiler:BigLittleBrother: Seeing as how Oure hasn't aged, Yuon has inevitably ended up physically older.]]

* [[spoiler:BlessedWithSuck: Involuntary gaining the powers of other psychics isn't so great when you're surrounded by them and can't control them, hence why he was removed from Xen Institute as a child.]]
* [[spoiler:BloodFromTheMouth: In his Bad End.]]

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow

* MissingMom: She died when he was an infant.

* NotSoStoic

* {{Workaholic}}
* YouAreNotAlone: [[spoiler:What Essi tells him in his route.]]

* [[spoiler:AnAstralProjectionNotAGhost]]
* [[spoiler:AstralProjection]]
* [[spoiler:BigBrotherInstinct: In Yuon's arc, he appears just in time to help Yuon and say his goodbyes before fading away. He also acts as a big brother figure to Xirr.]]

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

* [[spoiler:ClosedCircle: He is literally unable to leave one of Xen Institute's corridors. This might be due to the fact that, even though he uses his ability regularly, he is still not aware that he is alive and thus can't practice expanding his range.]]
* CloudCuckoolander
* [[spoiler:ConvenientComa: While it is convenient for the story, in the end, this is subverted. The doctors who tend to him in the hospital say that he has a very slim chance of waking up, and that it was a miracle that he was still alive after being in a coma for ten years. Nevertheless, Essi is determined to wait for the day when he finally wakes up.]]
* [[spoiler:[[CoolBigSis Cool Big Bro]]: To his younger brother when they were little.]]
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow

* FriendlessBackground: [[spoiler:Except for X.]]

* [[spoiler:HeartwarmingOrphan]]

* {{Keet}}

* NiceGuy
* [[spoiler:NotQuiteDead]]
* [[spoiler:ObfuscatingStupidity: He actually does know a little more about Xen Institute than he first lets on; for the most part though, he's as clueless as Essi.]]
* [[spoiler:OlderThanTheyLook: He is 18.]]

* [[spoiler:PosthumousCharacter: Subverted.]]
* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:Type A, seeing as Oure wears a cheery disposition when he talks to Essi, but in truth, he is very upset and resentful of his situation.]]
* SweetTooth: [[spoiler:But he can't enjoy it.]]
* [[spoiler:TomatoSurprise: The Oure that Essi has been visiting is an AstralProjection, and he did not die ten years ago as everyone else had once thought; he was in a coma and kept alive under the Institute. This is deducible with the hints given in his route, however.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Parfaits.
* [[spoiler:YouCanSeeMe: Though when Essi first discovers that he lacks a physical body, he becomes transparent, as he should have been.]]

* [[spoiler:AmnesiacDissonance]]

* [[spoiler:BloodFromTheMouth: In his Bad End.]]
* CasanovaWannabe

* [[spoiler:DeathSeeker: When he was a lot younger. And he is still this way now, as it's hinted in his route that when Essi chooses to pursue Yuon or Oure, and thus does not interact with him beyond her initial visits, he gives up his QuestForIdentity and chooses to die.]]

* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: In his BadEnding.]]

* [[spoiler:[[IAmAMonster I'm A Monster]]]]
* [[spoiler:JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind]]
* [[spoiler:KickTheDog: When Anon reveals his LackOfEmpathy, Essi tells him that it can't be true, as they spent lots of fun times together. When she asks if it was all a lie, Anon shoots back asking what she would do if he said that it was a lie. This sends Essi straight to tears, and when Anon asks if he should lie to make her feel better, she cries even more.]]
* KnowledgeBroker

* MeaningfulName: As a PlayfulHacker who is always found in the computer lab, and spends his time on forums to discover new gossip and information, "Anon" fits well enough. [[spoiler:Even more so, his name refers to his lack of identity, and the emptiness he feels when thinking about who he is and where he came from.]] [[spoiler:This also hints at him being the "unknown" or X.]]
* [[spoiler:ObfuscatingStupidity]]
* PlayfulHacker: [[HandsomeLech Proven when he pretends to recite Essi's bust size back to her, and later offers a "special service" in which he looks up her three sizes.]]
** And then he uses this info to buy her a ''black bra'' for her birthday...
* [[spoiler:PowerIncontinence: He has difficulty controlling his powers for the most part, as they tend to manifest unconsciously. However, his emotions and the amount of control he has over them also result in this, so he is at least aware of what he's doing when this happens.]]
* [[spoiler:QuestForIdentity:]] His reason for being at Xen Institute.

* [[spoiler:RedEyesTakeWarning: The nature of his power is dangerous, though he is not very evil himself.]]
* [[spoiler:RepressedMemories: As well as him having a great disconnection between all of his collective memories, leading to his QuestForIdentity in the first place. However, even though it's repressed, he still subconsciously remembers that torture that Scid subjected him to.]]

* [[spoiler:SplitPersonality: Although his true problem is much closer to having actual schizophrenia, Anon appears to display this trope late into his route when his SuperPoweredEvilSide subconsciously activates.]]
* [[spoiler:StepfordSmiler: Type B. He picked up this behavior from the merchants he traveled with.]]

* [[spoiler:TakingTheBullet: For Essi in his Bad End.]]

* TheTrickster
* [[spoiler:WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity]]

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* GentleGiant

* [[spoiler:ObfuscatingStupidity: If the author's notes are to be believed, Rexus' true personality is a lot different than the silly one here.]]
* [[spoiler:RedHerring: His mysterious persona, opportune helpfulness, and insight in Essi's life eventually leads her to suspect that he is X. His name doesn't help matters.]]
* [[spoiler:ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Damn, if he doesn't. He is the one most responsible for taking care of the major and minor details Essi usually has to resolve at the end of each path. He is easily the most well-connected character, surpassing even Loil.]]

** TheSoCalledCoward: Finally pulls together enough courage to help Essi [[spoiler:after her death]].

* HeroicSelfDeprecation

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SenpaiKohai: She was the kohai to Emma's sempai.

* [[spoiler:WeHardlyKnewYe]]

* [[spoiler:BigBad: Arguably, he was the BigBad of Anon's route, as the X-Note ultimately revealed what happened ten years ago, even though he was already dead beforehand. Then in the present he gets [[HijackedByGanon Hijacked By Loil]].]]
* [[spoiler:ColdBloodedTorture: Subjected X to it as a way to take revenge for his son.]]
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows

* [[spoiler:JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: He wasn't a psychopath from the start like Loil; he's a guy who completely lost it after his son's death.]]

* [[spoiler:MindRape: Subjected X to this as a way to both study psychic ability and exact revenge for his lost son.]]
* PapaBear: Very protective of his family, due in part to the guilt he feels over not forseeing his wife's condition that led to her death. [[spoiler:This is especially true for Oure.]]

* [[spoiler:RelativeButton:When he finally comes face to face with X after ten years, he explodes with anger and attempts to kill him. Unfortunately for him, X is a ridiculously strong and destructive psychic.]]

* [[spoiler:BigBad: Though it's eventually revealed that he's actually working for some government higher-ups.]]
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow

* [[spoiler:ForTheEvulz: When it isn't for business, he likes watching the more extreme experiments done on the children for his personal amusement.]]
* [[spoiler:HijackedByGanon: He really doesn't show up much at all during Anon's path, and the main conflict involves past events with Scid, who appears to be even more villainous than him in this path. He only really comes in at the end to fire off a bullet at Anon and then send the government after Anon and Essi.]]

* [[spoiler:KarmaHoudini: Anon's BadEnding is the only one where he receives any comeuppance for what he's done. Otherwise, he'll always get away.]]

* NeverFoundTheBody
* [[spoiler:RedEyesTakeWarning]]

* [[spoiler:TheSociopath: Like X. However, he truly lacks any sympathy for anyone, not because of trauma, but because he's a total monster. He at least shows some sympathy towards Scid's death at X's hands.]]

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest

* [[spoiler:MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: It's never made completely clear who was involved, but one thing is for certain: Emma's car breaks were sabotaged in her accident.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Arguably, [[spoiler:allowing the other non-psychic children to stay in the institute]].
* PosthumousCharacter

* WidowWoman

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

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer

* [[spoiler:BungledSuicide]]
* BullyingADragon
* [[spoiler:ColdBloodedTorture: Subjected to it.]]
* CreepyChild: Oh, yeah, big time.

* [[spoiler:DespairEventHorizon: Just when you think that he can't be more broken than he already is, the story says otherwise.]]

* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide: Though it ended up being a BungledSuicide. Instead of killing himself, he couldn't coherently piece together his memories and suffered though some IdentityAmnesia.]]
* FreudianExcuse: Oh, ''boy''...

* [[spoiler:[[IAmAMonster I'm A Monster]]]]

* [[spoiler:MindRape: A victim of this at the hands of Scid and Loil.]]
* MoralityChain: [[spoiler:Oure]]
* OrphansOrdeal

* TheQuietOne
* [[spoiler:RoaringRampageOfRevenge: When his only friend, Oure, was hurt defending him from the other children.]]
* [[spoiler:SanitySlippage: He already slipped pretty far after seeing the massacre of his village. However, he showed some signs of recovery when Oure befriended him. After he thought that he ended up killing Oure, he was subjected to further tradgedy and loses it, eventually crossing over the DespairEventHorizon.]]

* [[spoiler:ShellShockedVeteran: A child who watched and survived the destruction of his village in the Northern War.]]
* StoppedCaring: PlayedForDrama
* [[spoiler:SurvivorGuilt]]
* TraumaCongaLine: Pretty much everything listed in HarmfulToMinors.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: X suffers from ''many'' problems as a child, the most prominent being [[spoiler:post-traumatic stress disorder]]. Then there's the matter of his psychic powers... [[spoiler:His psychic abilities led to him being subjected to violent bullying, then caused him to lose the only friend he had when the PowerIncontinence in his RoaringRampageOfRevenge kicked in, ''then'' led to him being subjected to ColdBloodedTorture, and on top of all of that he ended up with SurvivorGuilt after not doing anything to save Essi's mom, leading to his BungledSuicide. Yep, this kid's behavior is pretty justified.]]
* [[spoiler:WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Justified in his case, as the awakening of his psychic powers was directly connected to his trauma.]]
* [[spoiler:WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds]]

* [[spoiler:WeaponOfChoice: His gun, which he uses near the end of every route.]]

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

* [[IllGirl Ill Boy]]: He has always had a weak body from a young age. [[spoiler:Also, he has diabetes, though he never appears to have to take an insulin shot. It's justified in that since he is really an AstralProjection, he understandably doesn't have this limitation, though his physical body still needs its daily medication.]]

* BlindingBangs

* [[spoiler:[[BigLittleBrother Little Big Brother]]: Due to his lack of aging, he appears much younger than his younger brother, Yuon.]]

* {{Bishounen}}

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

* {{Bishounen}}

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

* {{Bishounen}}

* SpotOfTea: When Essi helps her out on her first Saturday at Xen Institute.

* PhotographicMemory: Claims to have had one when he was younger, though nowadays he admits that his memory is pretty bad [[CompletelyMissingThePoint and he often misses the point of what others are saying.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Revealed to be such later on in his route.

* {{Adorkable}}: In his first spoken appearance and in a few of Essi's interactions with him after that. When they first met he took her bluff seriously and thought she was going to call the police.

* HairDecorations: Her long ribbons.

* HeroicAlbino

* {{Lolicon}}/{{Shotacon}}: He is too interested in young children for his own good.
** And then there's also the matter of the children that he found on his last trip to the north...and the fact that he brought them all back with him.
-->'''Emma:''' They are merely toys for his amusement.
** [[spoiler:He even states that he was planning on getting rid of Oure once he got older, but couldn't bare to do it because he looked so youthful.]]
** [[spoiler:It's literally his screen name.]]
