Dazai is a mysterious person, his true intentions are never revealed unless he himself reveals them.
The person who got closest to the truth of his personality, as acknowledged by Dazai himself, was his friend Sakunosuke Oda, who said to him,
"it can't be found. (...) You should know this yourself. No matter whether you're on the side of killing people or saving people, there will never be anything that can surpass your mind. There is no place in this world that can fill your loneliness. You will linger in the darkness forever."
He is a suicide maniac, often trying to commit suicide in comical manners but often times failing.
He, in particular, wishes to commit a 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 good.

In the past, while he was still suicidal, it was shown to be far less comedic. He even described death as a way to free himself from the oxidizing world but strangely enough, he could not die no matter how hard he tried.
In addition, he was extremely brutal and methodical, setting up traps to catch captives alive to torture the of information and often beat Akutagawa for disobeying orders and in order to push him to the limits to improve his abilities.
He was extremely confident and was a terrific planner, coming up with long run strategies to subdue his enemies.
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 run strategies though doesn't inform his teammates what they are until the time is right.
In addition, he is willing to use dirty means to achieve his goals. Nonetheless, he does care for his teammates and watches out for them, especially Atsushi for whom he sees the greatest potential.

No Longer Human (Ningen Shikkaku; 人間失格)
Oda once noted that there was
a saying in the Mafia that said:
"The misfortune of Dazai's enemies,
is to have him as their enemy."
Literally "Human Disqualification": This allows Dazai to nullify others Abilities on contact. His Ability relies on skin contact and is always active. As such, he can nullify any Ability even while restrained as soon as it touches him.

"Man fears death and yet, at the same time, man is drawn to death. Death is endlessly consumed by man in cities and in literature. It is a singular event in one's life that none may reverse. That is what I desire."

"You used Corruption believing in me?
I am so touched I could cry."

Double Black, the Yokohama so-called vicious duo. The pair have an unconditional trust on each other, invencible together.
He's seen the shorter save his life risking his own numerous times. Dazai trusted him all these.
Trusted him his life.
[ Well, that's only what they know. ]
Dazai is a man of numerous secrets, including his love-hate relationship with Nakahara Chuuya, which can go further than death itself. If life and death are the same, he'd like to spend it with him only.

「この街を出て東京で一緒に暮らしてくれないか?」
We take each other's hand
As we watch the off-season sparklers.
This fire falls, it's lingering presence has passed away
Closing our eyes, we face the arctic-cold ocean...
the both of us together.
Our linked hands were unseparable.
You and I became nothing (suicided).
