[[folder:Gun]]

* TheBully: Mostly towards Dazai - he's the easiest target.
* DrowningMySorrows: Deals with his bad moods by drinking.

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Hagiwara suggests the poet is this, which Nakahara responses by asking if he wants to fight.
* JerkassWoobie: An asshole to almost all adults? Yep. He wants to make friends, but he doesn't know how to. And then there's the matter of his last years of life...
* TheNapoleon: Roughly 150 centimeters, and shorter than any other adult character in the game. He is not someone you want to mess with.

-->'''Voiced By''': Creator/NatsukiHanae

!! Nagai Kafuu

-->'''Voiced By''': Creator/RyotaroOkiayu
-->
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: He has a different stat growth compared to the other authors of his type, and has a different bow design (his bow has horizontal-aligned gears compared to the other characters who have vertical-aligned gears). Justified since while he's technically a naturalist(which is a requirement of the bow users), he's actually a member of the group which opposes the Japanese naturalism movement.

!! Tokuda Shuusei

-->'''Voiced By''': Takumi Watanabe

'''Rarity:''' Rainbow\\
'''Faction:''' Neo-Thought (新思潮)\\

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Akutagawa thinks poorly of his own works and compares them unfavorably to someone like Naoya's. He's fighting not to save his own literature, but to save the literature of others.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Is handsome, and has long blue hair which he ties into a ponytail.
* SmokingIsCool: He is a heavy smoker, with number of his lines revolve around smoking. Due to the genre of the game, it's naturally designed to look cool.

'''Rarity:''' Rainbow\\
'''Faction:''' Decadent School (無頼派)\\
'''Sanity:''' Unstable (不安定)

* IdiotHair: Has one.

* LovableCoward: Would rather avoid direct confrontation by any means necessary, and flatters even people who know he wrote insulting things about them.
* {{Narcissist}}: Thinks pretty highly about himself.
* OlderThanHeLooks: Died at 39 in real life, yet looks like a teen here.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Akutagawa's blue, both being the game's most popular characters. Dazai is cheerful, narcissistic (on the exterior) and sometimes a [[TheGadfly Gadfly]], while Akutagawa is calm, polite and at most times holds a low opinion of himself. It's also also reflected in their colour designs.
* SinisterScythe: Wields one during battle.
* ThreeAmigos: Along with Oda Sakunosuke and Sakaguchi Ango, he's one of the most notable members of the Decadent School(無頼派, ''buraiha'') called the Triumvirate(三羽烏, ''sanbagarasu'') . He even calls it out on his dual attack line with his fellow Decadent members.

'''Rarity:''' \\
'''Faction:''' \\
'''Sanity:''' \\

* BladeOnAStick: Wields a naginata on battle.
** NaginatasAreFeminine: Considering his works mainly focus on women, his WeaponOfChoice can be considered as this.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: As one of the most renowned authors in Japan as well as one of the best blade-type authors stats-wise, he is quite an eccentric person.

* HiddenDepths: He's very serious when it comes to literature, as he's currently enraged by the Taints who corroded literature and called Akutagawa out about his apathy on his own works, though considering how he is, one doesn't really expect him to have this side.
* LooksLikeSheIsEnjoyingIt: A male version. His voice clips after he's been hit sound like he's moaning, and have inspired many players to mute their game while he's in the party. Though...
** TheImmodestOrgasm: ...due to his [[TooKinkyToTorture preferences]], they might as well overlap as these.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Has a long silver hair which is tied with a hair stick.
* LovableSexManiac
* OrgasmicallyDelicious: Gets 'delusions' whenever he's eating, and especially thinks tempura is erotic.
* TooKinkyToTorture: He ''loves'' pain, and his actions clearly show this (he moans when he's injured and specifically asks to be hurt more ''even when he was already critically injured''). It's even lampshaded on his profile descriptions, and in his recollection with Satou Haruo, where he was at his worst, getting almost delirious due to the lack of women to abuse him.
--> '''Haruo:''' "I'm seriously scared of your insatiable masochism."

* BloodKnight: Inner Atsushi doesn't come out for much besides fighting, so it's good that he enjoys it.
* TheGlassesComeOff: Inner Atsushi takes off his glasses to fight. Outer Atsushi wonders how he can see without them, suggesting that they're *not* PurelyAestheticGlasses.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Of the two personalities, Outer Atsushi is definitely the more inclined to intellectual pursuits, and he's the only one who wears their glasses.
* SplitPersonalityMakeover: When Inner Atsushi takes control, he ditches their glasses and slicks back his hair.
* SplitPersonalityTeam: Inner Atsushi handles all the fighting. In exchange, Outer Atsushi does all of the socializing - Inner Atsushi doesn't have any interest in "talking to idiots".

'''Sanity:''' \\

* InSeriesNickname: Has various nicknames, but Shigeji is the one used the most.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: He has a different stat growth compared to the other authors of his type, and has a different bow design (his bow has horizontal-aligned gears compared to the other characters who have vertical-aligned gears). Justified since while he's technically a naturalist(which is a requirement of the bow users), he's actually a member of the group which opposes the Japanese naturalism movement.
* BrokenPedestal: To Haruo, as he was disappointed upon knowing that the person he respects very much actually resents him.
* CulturedWarrior
* HiddenDepths: Keeps a diary which is filled with mostly grumblings and complaints.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy
* RapunzelHair: His hair goes to his waist.
* SecretDiary: Has one, which Haruo manages to take a look and mentions about it during their recollection.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Katsudon.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has a dark blue hair.

-->'''Voiced By''': Takumi Watanabe

[[folder:Gun]]
!!!Tropes associated with the gun-type authors as a whole:
* AwesomeButImpractical: They have the highest attack out of all types, but they're locked to the first and last attacking turns, making them not as effective when it comes to attacking.
* WarriorPoet: All gun-type authors are poets, making all of them this. Special mention to Masaoka Shiki, who says haikus during battle.

!! Hagiwara Sakutarou

-->'''Voiced By''': Creator/KenjiNojima
-->
* HatesBeingAlone
* TheKlutz: Trips very frequently.
* NoSenseOfDirection: His line for looking for a 'special research' event author says that while he's looking for someone lost, he has to make sure he doesn't get lost himself.
----


!! Nakahara Chuuya

-->'''Voiced By''': Creator/TetsuyaKakihara
-->
* TheAlcoholic: A lot of his lines revolve around sake.
* TheBully: Mostly towards Dazai - he's the easiest target.
* DrowningMySorrows: Deals with his bad moods by drinking.
* FriendToAllChildren: Two of his few actually positive relationships are with children. Chuuya admired Miyazawa Kenji in real life, and he was definitely not a child at the time, but there's no historical reason for his friendship with Niimi Nankichi except that Chuuya loved children.
* FunctionalAddict: Barely. While calling him emotionally stable is optimistic, he's one of the better gun-wielding authors.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Hagiwara suggests the poet is this, which Nakahara responses by asking if he wants to fight.
* JerkassWoobie: An asshole to almost all adults? Yep. He wants to make friends, but he doesn't know how to. And then there's the matter of his last years of life...
* TheNapoleon: Roughly 150 centimeters, and shorter than any other adult character in the game. He is not someone you want to mess with.
* SourOutsideSadInside: Hagiwara calls Chuuya out on this: he pushes people away and isolates himself so that people don't know he's hurting.

----

-->'''Voiced By''': Creator/TsubasaYonaga
-->
* CheerfulChild: Always ready to cheer someone else up.
* CovertPervert: Secretly keeps 'adult' picture books.
* EmotionalMaturityIsPhysicalMaturity: While he was an adult before being summoned, he acts like a kid.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Almost all authors fall into this (some of them were in their eighties or nineties when they died), but Kenji is one of the most obvious. He's 37.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Apples.

----

-->'''Voiced By''': Creator/NatsukiHanae

----


!! Masaoka Shiki

-->'''Voiced By''': Creator/MinoruShiraishi
-->
* Flanderization: While he did play baseball during his middle school, it's a relatively trivial thing about him compared to his reputation as one of the greatest haiku poets in Japan, but the game takes the fact he used to be a baseball player and runs with it, with him having a healthier body after being reincarnated as the justification(since he's constantly living with tuberculosis during his past life).
* ThreeAmigos: With Natsume Souseki and Mori Ougai.
