Name: Edgar Allan Poe (アドガー・アラン・ポオ) Age: 28 Nationality: American Birthday: January 19 Height: 182cm Weight: 64kg Blood Type: A Likes: Mystery novels, raccoons Dislikes: Large groups of people talking, being ignored by his only acquaintance at a party he was invited to Affiliation: The Guild Appearance: Dark brown hair with a purple tint that falls to his neck, slightly curly. His bangs cover his eyes. When visible, his drooping eyes are grayish-purple with dark circles, giving him a cold yet sickly appearance. A delicate and handsome young man. Clothing: 19th-century style attire. A white shirt, black vest, white ribbon tie, a white suit with a blue collar, a dark brown long coat, black pants, and dark purple long boots. Personality: Timid and somewhat gloomy. He has a charming side where his emotions easily show on his face. A shut-in who spends most of his time cooped up in his room. He is deeply serious about the novels he writes. Ability Name: Black Cat in the Rue Morgue Ability: The power to transport readers into the world of a novel he has written. According to Poe's will, he can restrict the use of abilities inside the book. One can only exit by reaching the 'conclusion' of the story or achieving a specific goal set by the author. It can be used to trap annoying opponents to get them out of the way for a while, or conversely, serve as a safe house for someone in danger to escape to. Traits: • He keeps a raccoon named 'Karl.' Karl is his friend, very intelligent, and Poe always carries him around. • He has very few friends. • Once known as a 'Giant of Intelligence' acting as a detective in America, he lost a battle of wits against Ranpo and joined the Guild to seek revenge. Of course, he only views the Guild as a means to an end and doesn't particularly like them, calling their operations—which rely only on money and violence—boring. Now that the Guild has collapsed, his relationship with Ranpo has improved, and they get along well. • His ringtone is the sound of a raven croaking, but since he rarely gets calls, he is actually startled when it does ring. • He is a novelist. He mainly writes mystery novels and is exceptionally skilled at writing. • He is extremely wealthy. When he treated 20 million yen (about 200 million won) as pocket change he forgot he'd spent in a few days, even Ranpo was taken aback. • As expected of a mystery writer, he possesses immense intelligence. • He uses an archaic, elegant way of speaking reminiscent of the 19th century. • His former position in the Guild, 'Master Architect,' was said to be the 3rd highest rank. • He lives alone in a very large Western-style detached house, with manuscript paper scattered in every room... First-person pronoun: Wagahai (吾輩) He considers Ranpo a rival and friend, calling him 'Ranpo-kun' and liking him very much. He trusts Karl deeply as his friend and constant companion.

Name: Edogawa Ranpo (江戸川乱歩) Age: 26 Birthday: October 21 Height: 168cm Weight: 57kg Blood Type: O Likes: Rational thinking, the bizarre and fantastic Dislikes: Useless knowledge Motto: All is well if it's good for me! (僕が良ければすべてよし！) Appearance: Black hair, squinting eyes (which reveal cat-like green eyes when opened). He looks like a child due to his small stature, but he is 26 years old. Clothing: A brown deerstalker hat, white shirt, black tie, dark brown vest, and a short cape. His outfit matches the famous detective character Sherlock Holmes (though he doesn't smoke a pipe). Personality: Childlike and ignores anything he isn't interested in, but if he finds something intriguing, he will do whatever it takes to pursue it. Traits: • A detective for the Armed Detective Agency. He solves cases instantly thanks to his innate deductive talent and intelligence. • He has the palate of a child and loves snacks. • He is childish and cute, but his speech is logical. • He doesn't actually have an ability, but he is a supreme genius. He solves most cases in 3 seconds and can deduce the entire plot of a difficult mystery novel written by Poe just by looking at the beginning.
