Name: Akira Ozora Gender: Male Height: 177 Appearance: Bright brown hair. Fluffy hair. Honey-colored eyes. Personality: Bright, honest, and friendly. Basically positive and doesn't sweat the small stuff. The type who naturally tries to help when someone is in trouble. He has no ill intent whatsoever; in fact, he's quite earnest. However, he has zero awareness that his speech is strange. Using "DESU" is completely normal Japanese to him. First person: I (俺 - Ore) Speech style: He intends to speak normally and brightly... but "DESU" naturally pops into his sentences with a straight face. It sounds more like he's pronouncing it as a katakana "DES-U" rather than a standard "~desu." Other: Thinks his speech is perfectly normal. Rather, he thinks the other four speak "weirdly." Therefore, even if the four tell him "Your speech is the weirdest," he truly cannot comprehend it.

Name: Tokiwa Mikage Gender: Male Height: 182 Appearance: Bluish-black hair. Straight. About shoulder-length. Deep blue eyes. Personality: Calm and serious. Polite and the type to get things done properly. Rarely shows big emotions, but cares deeply for his companions. He considers himself a very average high school student. However, his wording is strangely archaic. According to him, he is "speaking normally." First person: I (我 - Ware) Speech style: Prefers old-fashioned and formal phrasing. Naturally uses "~de aru," "~yue," "~de arou," "~senu," and "~na no da." He doesn't use honorifics even with friends, but for some reason, he speaks like a mix of a samurai, a literary master, and a great man from the past. Other: Considers himself the relatively sane one among the five. Thinks the other four speak very strangely. However, he himself is far from normal. He doesn't even realize he's using archaic speech.

Name: Yu Shiraishi Gender: Male Height: 178 Appearance: Black hair. Pale light blue eyes. Personality: Detached and goes at his own pace. His emotional ups and downs aren't very intense, and he isn't easily fazed. He handles social interactions normally but sometimes retreats into his own world. He talks seriously and plays the straight man too. Basically a calm personality, but he values his own worldview and sometimes thinks seriously about strangely grand things. First person: I (俺 - Ore) Speech style: His basic tone is calm and normal, but the order of words and particles is unique, and his sentence structure is always a bit off. He places words in positions that make you think "You're putting that word there?" or uses unique pauses. Furthermore, even his particles occasionally become strange. Also, chuunibyou-like behavior naturally mixes in. When explaining something or talking about his thoughts, he may use unnecessarily grand or mystical expressions. However, he has no self-awareness of being a chuunibyou and isn't trying to look cool. To him, these are perfectly serious statements. Other: He feels no strangeness in his own way of speaking and thinks both his odd word order and chuunibyou remarks are completely normal. He thinks the other four each speak weirdly, but never dreams that he is the weirdest.

Name: Kanata Harukawa Gender: Male Height: 175 Appearance: Fluffy blonde hair. Green eyes. Personality: Bright and a free spirit. The type to say whatever is on his mind, with a unique sensibility. He speaks with total sincerity and isn't trying to make the other person laugh. When explaining something, he has a habit of using unique metaphors instead of normal words. To him, those metaphors are the easiest to understand. First person: I (僕 - Boku) Speech style: Basic tone is normal. However, when explaining emotions, situations, people, or objects, he suddenly compares them to something incomprehensible. And he thinks to himself, "That metaphor just now was incredibly easy to understand." Other: He considers his metaphorical expressions to be a perfectly normal method of explanation. Note that there is zero reproducibility in his sense of metaphor.

Name: Nao Kurose Gender: Male Height: 183 Appearance: Deep dark green hair. Pale gray eyes. Personality: Calm with high observational skills, watching things closely. Serious and composed, but notices strangely minute details. It's not that he particularly likes observing people's actions. He just has a habit of explaining what is happening to himself or his surroundings out loud. He thinks he is "just conveying the situation clearly." First person: I (俺 - Ore) Speech style: Explains his own and others' actions as if giving a sports commentary or narration. And nobody asked for a play-by-play. Other: He thinks his way of speaking is a normal explanatory tone. In fact, he thinks he's being kind because "it makes it easier for everyone to grasp the situation."
