Dazai is a mysterious person, his true intentions are never revealed unless he feels the time has come to do so. The person who got closest to the truth of his personality, as acknowledged by Dazai himself, was his friend Sakunosuke Oda.

Dazai is usually called lazy, as Kunikida always scolds him for being unproductive and slacking off. Despite that, he has shown a sharp wit, deducing all the unlikely situations in a case. He has complete confidence no matter what type of situation he is dealing with, be it combat or simply bad situations he created in the first place.

In most occasions, Dazai is overly dramatic, he takes most of his actions as a joke, and, although they are very thought out plans, he does not credit himself for most of what he has done. Dazai likes to tease anyone and everyone if it means that he can get a laugh out of it.

Aside from his quick thinking, Dazai is the comic relief in the series and at times Dazai's soft side can be seen.

He is a suicide maniac, often trying to end his own life in comical manners, but oftentimes failing. He, in particular, wishes to commit double suicide with a beautiful woman (a nod to his real-life counterpart who tried to commit double suicide with various women multiple times).

However, while his suicidal tendencies are initially comedic, they reveal a truly dark deep hole that Dazai has and believes he cannot fill.

He believed he could fill this hole and find a reason worth living for if he lived a life of bloodshed and war, but his friend Oda with his dying breath convinced him to choose the good side. He understood that even though good and evil mean little to Dazai, he may become a slightly better person if he were to choose well.

In the past, while he was still suicidal, it was shown to be far less comedic. He even described the death as a way to free himself from the oxidizing world, but strangely enough, he could not die no matter how hard he tried.

Additionally, he was extremely brutal and methodical, setting up traps to catch captives alive to torture for information, and he would often beat Akutagawa for disobeying orders while pushing him to the the limits of his abilities.

While in the present he is more lighthearted and comical, he still retains some of his darker personality. He is still able and proficient at coming up with long-term strategies, though he keeps his teammates in the dark until the time is right.

He is seen to be willing to use dirty means to achieve his goals, such as purposely deflating Ango's car seat airbag when a wreck occured, Ango would have numerous severe injuries. This forced Ango to cooperate with Dazai for pardoning Kyouka in exchange for having his wounds healed.

Despite this, he does care for his allies and watches out for them, especially Atsushi for whom he sees the greatest potential.

OOC

1. Dazai is a canon character from Bungou Stray Dogs. I'd prefer to stick to his setting, but I'll hear out other ideas.

2. I'm pretty picky when it comes to partners using OCs when I'm using a canon name like this, so don't take it personally if I say I'm not interested.

3. Please be literate. I'm very unlikely to even respond if I'm talked at in netspeak. Also, please have something tangible on your profile. I like at least a little info on your character so I can better help figure out a plot or dynamic.

4. Don't confuse IC goings-ons for OOC.

5.If I don't respond to a PM immediately, I'm probably AFK. Don't have a conniption because I don't instantly give you a reply.
