BritBllt: Changing...

• There's also Ryoji, who appears out of nowhere as an exchange student. Aigis has the excuse of the Kirijou Group backing her up (and possibly forging any record she could need to function in society) but where does the Anthropomorphic Personification and Avatar of Death spend his schoolnights, get money and clothes (especially to spend on dates,) and pull up school records to be able to attend Gekkoukan High?
  • Well, we know that money can be made to appear out of nowhere via shuffles in Tartarus, so presumably Ryoji just warps some yen into existence.

• There's also Ryoji, who appears out of nowhere as an exchange student. As the Anthropomorphic Personification and Avatar of Death, questions like where he spends his off-school hours and where his transfer records came from are left unanswered.

As it's getting kinda cluttered with natter. Also removing the spoiler tag from his name (but not from his role, that's a big one!), since even saying "an exchange student" automatically reveals it's Ryoji, and his mysterious nature is spotlighted the moment he appears anyway (three awesome words: "you. are. dangerous.").

Though it's not worth adding to the main page, I think the game does hint at Ryoji being a Reality Warper as an answer. When Ryoji leaves the SEES meeting room at one point, one of the characters starts to go after him, and Fuuka, their resident psychic, stops them and says that she stopped sensing his presence as soon as he left the room. So I think Ryoji doesn't physically exist as a human except when he's interacting with people: he probably just fades away while walking "home" alone after class, a date or whatever, and then he fades back into existence the next morning on his way to school, all without consciously realizing what he's doing.
