Line 9:
The character you play as. Basically, you wake up dead and have to figure out who you are before sunrise, because as Ray says, once dawn comes you will cease to exist. {{spoiler|[[I Lied|But he lied.]]}}
* [[Anime Hair]]: His head bears a resemblance to the blue souls of the game's departed.
* [[The Call Knows Where You Live]]: Being dead is an ignominious way to start an adventure.
** {{spoiler|[[Refusal of the Call]]}}: Unbeknownst to Sissel, he {{spoiler|ignored Ray's plea to save Lynne}} the first time around. This occurred in an [[Bad Future|alternate timeline]].
* {{spoiler|[[Cats Are Mean]]}}: He starts out only interested in figuring out his identity, and {{spoiler|originally refused to help Missile-prime save Lynne and Kamila}}. The second time around, {{spoiler|Missile-prime manipulated this self-interest by giving him an artificial deadline}} which led to the game's Sissel developing a genuine interest in saving the people he meets—and in doing so, he has fun {{spoiler|tormenting a few mice}} using his ghost tricks!
* {{spoiler|[[Cats Are Snarkers]]: He's a cat and a [[Deadpan Snarker]]}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Cool Cat]]: He's the hero of the story and actually a cat}}.
* [[Cool Shades]]: He even keeps them when {{spoiler|rejecting his self-concept}} and reverting to a [[Ghost Lights|Ghost Light]] appearance in Chapter 17.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He takes nothing seriously, including some aspects of his own death, from the very first scene.
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Person Impersonation]]}}: Unbeknown to him.
* [[Dead to Begin With]]: Duh. He's a frickin' ghost.
Line 34:
* {{spoiler|[[Right-Hand-Cat]]}} and {{spoiler|[[Morality Pet]]}}: He ''is'' one, {{spoiler|to Yomiel}}.
* [[Samaritan Syndrome]]: Even though Sissel repeatedly claims that he's only helping to find out who he is, he's usually all too willing to jump in and save people regardless.
* [[Sharp-Dressed Man]]: Wears a suit in perfect condition at all times.
* [[Spanner in the Works]]: His very existence, {{spoiler|in the game timeline}}.
* [[Sunglasses at Night]]: His sunglasses are an iconic part of his style (to the point where even his spirit form wears sunglasses), and most of the game takes place at night.
* [[Supporting Protagonist]]: {{spoiler|He is the player character, but Ray is the real hero who saves the day with his plan}}.
* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: He's ''not'' {{spoiler|the blond-haired man in the red suit. In fact he's not human at all. Sissel only assumed he was due to Yomiel's body blocking his view of his real corpse inside a box}}. In reality, he {{spoiler|was a black cat adopted by the [[Big Bad]] and brought along to be used as 'transport' for Yomiel's soul}} after {{spoiler|Lynne}} shot his body. The only true thing Sissel really knew was {{spoiler|his name, and only because Yomiel was using it as an alias}}.
Line 47:
A detective, and the first person you save. Apparently she's the key to figuring out who you really are...
* [[Anime Hair]]: Her hairdo consists of a bunch of locks squished by a hairband on top of her head. A rooster's comb, in a nutshell. The whole thing is about as big as her head!
* [[Big Eater]]: Lynne manages to eat a whole chicken ''by herself''.
{{quote|'''Sissel''': Look at her just... ''attacking'' that thing...}}
Line 63:
* [[Improbable Age]]: In the flashback to ten years ago, she's young enough to call someone 'mister'. Now she's a detective. Exactly how young do they let people on the police force?
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Lynne's name is spelled in katakana as Rinne, a word that can refer to the Buddhist cycle of death and rebirth—fairly appropriate for a girl who keeps dying and coming back to life.
* [[Mini-Dress of Power]]: Judging by the difference in skin color between her face and her legs, it appears she wears leggings as well.
* [[Plucky Girl]]: "Haha! I died again!"
* [[They Killed Kenny]]: "It's Lynne! And she's not dead, for once."
Line 72:
A possessed desk lamp who teaches Sissel the ropes of the spirit world. He seems to know more than he's letting on, though. {{spoiler|He's Missile from an alternate timeline where Sissel didn't stick around to help Lynne and none of Yomiel's plans were stopped. Missile went back to the day of Yomiel's death (as Sissel would later do) and then waited [[The Slow Path|ten years]] for the day of Sissel's death to come around again so he could manipulate him into helping Lynne}}.
* {{spoiler|[[The Chessmaster]]: He manipulates Sissel into saving Lynne so he would follow her around and eventually end up in the Yonoa submarine, where he could go ten years into the past and save Yomiel to avert the events of tonight. A key aspect for the success of his plan is to lie and tell Sissel that he will disappear from existence at sunrise, so he will use his time efficiently}}.
* {{spoiler|[[The Dog Was the Mastermind]]:}} [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]], though {{spoiler|a "good guy" version}}.
* [[Exposition Fairy]]: On how ghost tricks work.
Line 95:
* [[Heroic Dog]]
* [[Hidden Depths]]: He may act profoundly dumb at times, but you have to admire the fact that unlike Sissel {{spoiler|who needed Ray to explain it all to him, Missile was able to somehow figure out his ability to go back in time ''and'' his ghost swap ability, to the point where he was able to save Kamila all by himself. Not only that, but in the original timeline, he managed to get all the way to Yomiel's body in the detached control room in the ocean. By himself. ''Without the ability to travel through phone lines!'' Considering everything you have to do to get that far, that's pretty impressive}}.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: He's very excitable about everything in life.
* [[Loyal Animal Companion]]: His only motivation for the entire game? Saving his masters.
* [[Mister Muffykins]]: The most [[Badass]] one you will ever meet.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: <big>'''My name is Missile!'''</big>
Line 103:
* {{spoiler|[[Perspective Magic]]}}: {{spoiler|His ghost trick is to swap similarly shaped objects. If you rotate an object to change its silhouette, you can then swap it with other objects that have that new silhouette.}}
* [[The Pollyanna]]: to an absurdly humorous degree.
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: He's a very energetic and protective Pomeranian, so that comes into territory.
* [[Serious Business]]: What being a dog is, according to Missile.
