Hikikomori teenager who built the dream world of Headspace to bury the truth of his sister Mari's death, with his alter ego Omori standing guard over the secret. Three days before moving away, the truth starts leaking through.
Aubrey
2k works
The sweet girl of Sunny's childhood who grew into a bat-swinging delinquent after grief tore the friend group apart. Aubrey's anger as armor for abandonment makes her OMORI's most cathartic character to write.
Mari
2k works
Sunny's gifted older sister, the picnic-hosting heart of the friend group whose death is the wound the entire game orbits. Mari lives on in headspace fic, AUs where she survives, and gut-punch character studies.
Hero

The group's responsible older brother, a college student who fell apart for a year after Mari's death and never fully forgave himself. Hero's perfect-eldest-son mask and unresolved love for Mari ground the fandom's heaviest fic.
