[[WMG: Rantaro Amami]]
!!!'''Ultimate ??? (Ultimate Adventurer)'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amami.png]]

The [[AscendedExtra protagonist]] of the fic. A young man who wake's up inside Hope's Peak Academy, who doesn't remember why he was selected. He was selected as the leader of his group. [[spoiler:He's one of the survivors.]]
----
* AmnesiacHero: Can't remember his ultimate talent.
* AscendedExtra: Going from the first victim of his original game, to the protagonist of the fic.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually fairly kindhearted to the people around him, however he has limits, and results aren't exactly pretty when crossed.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Went [[WalkingTheEarth travelling across the world]] to search for his younger sisters.
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: If his words are anything to go by, he has a seven inch penis. [[ItMakesSenseInContext It's less weird the way it's brought up.]]
* TheCasanova: Often talks about the casual sex and dates he's had before Hope's Peak, along with the actual girlfriend's he's had.
* ChickMagnet: Is stated to have been popular with girls in middle school, and directly mentions his ex on several occasions. This extends even to the killing game where he gets positive attention from Kaede, Miu, and Kirumi, at least before she hooks up with Shuichi.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Kiyo.
* CompositeCharacter: More or less serves as a combination of both Makoto and Kyoko, taking elements from both to form his role the story. For Makoto, he acts as the protagonist, [[spoiler: who ends up becoming a HopeBringer for the world.]] For Kyoko, he has her intelligence and doesn't remember his ultimate talent at the beginning of the game.
** He also takes a few points from Byakuya, such as being the heir to a large, wealthy family consisting mostly of siblings.
* DeadpanSnarker: Surprisingly enough, he has a rather sharp tongue.
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:He is crushed when he realized that his childhood best friend is actually an insane SerialKiller.]]
* FirstPersonSmartass: If he's not snarking out loud, he's doing it in his head.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Kiyo. [[spoiler: Which makes [[SerialKiller certain revelations]] about him hit that much harder.]]
* IdiotHair: A fork like one at the top of his head. This ends up being both fitting, as it matches up with his status as the protagonist, and [[{{Irony}} ironic]], as idiot is an unfitting word to describe him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] for the most part. He's mostly nice, but he's openly [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] regarding his classmates eccentricities, in addition to not being the most tactful person around. Also has some [[TheGadfly gadfly]] tendencies.
* TheLeader: Elected as the head of his team.
* MassivelyNumberedSiblings: Mentions in his introduction that he's the oldest of 13 siblings.
* NiceGuy: Is this for the most part.
* NightmareFace: Pulls a few in Chapter 2.

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: Her attack on Rantaro after the 4th trial ends with him disarming her by cutting her hand off.]]
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Traumatic past and genuine care for her mentor and students aside. It's hard to feel bad for her death.
