<p>Looking at VNDB's character page for <a href="https://vndb.org/v1027/chars#chars" rel="nofollow">Shikkoku no Sharnoth ~What a Beautiful Tomorrow~</a> some of the characters have under their Role section, either <em>"Based on a Real Person"</em> or <em>"Based on a Fictional Person"</em></p>

<p>Character's like <em>Sherlock</em> and <em>Churchill</em> i get who their basis is just from their name's. <em>Mary's</em> basis is revealed at the end when she signs the book she finished writing with the pen name <em>Agatha Christie</em> (though it's mentioned a number of times at the start that she's a writer if that wasn't a bug enough clue)</p>

<p>but there are character's like <em>Charlotte Brontë</em> who are based off real characters who i don't recognize while there are characters like <em>Sebastian Moran</em> who are based off fictional character who i am interested in knowing if they fictional basis is any different with how they are presented in Shikkoku no Sharnoth</p>

<p>So i am asking for a List of all the characters of <em>Shikkoku no Sharnoth ~What a Beautiful Tomorrow~</em> who have a <strong>Based on a ______ Person</strong> tag and who their character basis is. completion wise also include obvious characters like Sherlock and Churchill</p>

Looking at VNDB's character page for [Shikkoku no Sharnoth ~What a Beautiful Tomorrow~](https://vndb.org/v1027/chars#chars) some of the characters have under their Role section, either *"Based on a Real Person"* or *"Based on a Fictional Person"*

Character's like *Sherlock* and *Churchill* i get who their basis is just from their name's. *Mary's* basis is revealed at the end when she signs the book she finished writing with the pen name *Agatha Christie* (though it's mentioned a number of times at the start that she's a writer if that wasn't a bug enough clue)

but there are character's like *Charlotte Brontë* who are based off real characters who i don't recognize while there are characters like *Sebastian Moran* who are based off fictional character who i am interested in knowing if they fictional basis is any different with how they are presented in Shikkoku no Sharnoth

So i am asking for a List of all the characters of *Shikkoku no Sharnoth ~What a Beautiful Tomorrow~* who have a **Based on a \_\_\_\_\_\_ Person** tag and who their character basis is. completion wise also include obvious characters like Sherlock and Churchill
