In Japan, fifteen teenagers were brought into a sick and twisted game by a mastermind and the diabolical Monokuma. It became a kill or be killed experience where only seven survived.

In Washington, DC., a twisted individual took this to heart, starting up a new school called Unity Academy near Hollywood. It was there that they invited sixteen teenagers to become their new student body. Each student invited had their own Ultimate talent of the highest caliber. Once they arrive, however, they will be greeted by a nauseating thought.

They will be trapped in the academy for the rest of their lives.

The only way for students to escape the academy is to murder another student and get away with it. When a murder occurs, a "class trial" is held, in which the remaining students must determine amongst themselves who the killer is. If the students can successfully determine the true culprit, that person is put to a gruesome and ironic execution for disrupting school order. However, if the wrong accusation is made, then the true killer will be allowed to leave the academy whilst everyone else will be put to death.

It's a life or death game of deduction, deception, and unity. Will you be able to escape the clutches of Unity Academy and figure out which of your fellow fifteen students is the true mastermind behind all of this?

Rules

1. Basic rules apply (good grammar, no god modding or bunnying, etc.)
2. It's recommended that you come up with a new SHSL/Ultimate title for your character, but if you bring something new to the table, you might get to use a previous SHSL title.
3. Since this is a Casual roleplay, at least give a paragraph per post.
4. Try not to send a new reply until at least two others have posted before you.
5. Right now, you are allowed two characters. Of course, they could be killed off at anytime.
6. The killers and victims will be decided when the motives are revealed each chapter. As for the Mastermind, once your character is accepted, feel free to PM me me and tell me if you want your character(s) to possibly be the Mastermind.
7. IC Drama is fine, but OOC Drama is stupid. Don't do that.
8. Other rules will be implemented as needed.
9. Most importantly, have a lot of despair-filled fun!

Monokuma's Rules

Rule #1: The students will live inside the school walls. There is no time limit as to how long they can stay there. The only way to escape is by winning a School Trial.

Rule #2: The time between 10pm and 7am is called “Night Time.” During the ‘night’, students must stay in the dorm area.

Rule #3: All students should sleep in the designated rooms in the dormitory area. Students found willingly sleeping in other places will be punished.

Rule #4: You may investigate the school however you want, as there are no special restrictions on your actions. Explore to your heart's content as long as the room isn't locked!

Rule #5: Breaking the locks on any locked door will result in punishment!

Rule #6: You cannot harm the school’s headmaster, Monokuma, nor can you destroy any of the surveillance cameras. Yes. I will be watching your every move, Upupupupu!

Rule #7: A “culprit” who kills a fellow student will graduate, but only if they can convince the other students that they are not the culprit. If the culprit succeeds, the culprit can leave, however, as punishment, all the other students will be killed in the culprit’s place. If the culprit is proven guilty, however, the culprit will be rightfully executed.

Rule #8: After three people or more discover a dead body, a “body discovery announcement” shall be made so everyone knows of the death.

Rule #9: If after twenty-four hours and no one is killed, the students must attend a mandatory event in the auditorium where a special lesson will be taught on the subject of "Motives!"

Explorable Areas

Dormitory: A dormitory that has the names of every student on their respective rooms. Also has a small sitting lobby.

Cafeteria: A cafeteria housed with non-perishable food. If need be, students are allowed to cook. Houses knives.

Library: A library giving information on Hope's Peak Academy and the students of that academy prior to the first Class Trial.

Fears: Isolation, Losing all her friends, Being forgotten.

History: Luna was an average girl when she was younger, bullied at a young age she developed a complex. She would watch these funny little shows that were called "Anime", wishing she could be like her favorite superheroein Sailor Moon! Once browsing the internet she came across people who would dress up and act like their favorite characters, there were even conventions with competitions. Staying back after school in the textiles room she would create her newest costume that she would show off to all the attendees of the convention. Once at the convention she introduced herself as 'Luna Liligrass! Defender Of All Things Justice! She was a hit, getting thousands of different people asking for autographs. On occasion she would receive invitations from conventions to perform a specific character

Unfortunately his arrogance is a turn off for many people, and most humans require interaction with other individuals. Once he received an invitation to this precocious school, he knew his dreams of success were going to be absolute.

Both are accepted!

I'll have my characters up later tonight, Just reserving a spot.

Hmm, with the four of us that makes eight students. Assuming we all do two characters each.

Yeah. At this rate, we should have the spots filled. Half in two days isn't bad at all! I'll have two characters up by the end of the day.

Mine should be up some time later this week... If it's fine may I reserve the title of SHSL Thief?

That's absolutely fine! Reserved!

Edit: I also kinda... Sorta... Really half arsed it.

What? What about Jinx?

I wouldn't say she has actual 'skills', I just listed some of the things that she can do that were more or less particular, or just things I thought were important for her strengths. And it was more of just an expansion on her ultimate title in my case.

And being completely honest, all of my characters sheets are half-assed ^^" I try not to get super specific because they always turn out a bit different than I originally imagine them to be. Getting too detailed limits my characters from my experience, unless I reuse old characters.

KK Swap Jacob for that .-. I actually like this character.

Ultimate: Acting Prodigy

He is a shy kid, but is very outgoing when he with his friends. Being around others brings out a bubbly charismatic personality who loves to tell jokes and entertain people. Although he can be shy about new situations and sometimes needs a push from his friends to do things.
When he is near strangers he becomes almost silent, rather different to his previous personality. In these cases he has trouble speaking and will talk via hand gestures.
In most cases he wants his audience, friends, people around to be happy, but he sometimes falls into depression.

Theodore will treat and respect everybody with the utmost respect and sincerity as he believes everybody receives a chance and or a second one. As its whats on the inside that counts, not the outside.

---

History: It wasn't because he saw a guy on TV, or because he wanted to be famous. He was just gifted with this talent.
Theodore grew up in poor-er than the rest, home with three younger sisters and a younger brother, making him the eldest of five. The only person that took care of them was their mum. Some guys attempted to bully him for the first year of his schooling which quickly diminished his self-confidence, but a girl in a funny costume would step in and defend him. She left in year four, but by that time he had made friends that would defend him, which stopped the bullying.
Once in high school he promptly took the drama class as he knew, if you could do well in entertainment, you could earn alot of money. It wasn't that he was greedy, he just felt if he was successful than he could look after his family better.

Does anyone mind if I make a 13 year old that was skipped ahead ?

Well, in my country. You can be 12-13 in year 7.

.-. But it in this case I don't really know. Because most of the characters are like 16+ (Dangan Series)
(Except Saionji but i have no idea how freaking old she is like 9?)Was referring to the chick in Super Dangan Ronpa 2)

Spose it would depend on your characters Ultimate talent tbh

Edit: I had an IDEAAAA.
Perhaps your character can be from another class, but we find you kept alive with us in the school? Yes no maybe? Then the age difference wouldn't particularly matter~

She's the same age as everyone else

Really? Heh, coolies.
I haven't played SDR2 yet, so I don't know too much about it.

But your thoughts on his/her character? (Spriggs)

I think it's plausible, but I think that skipping a few grades isn't enough to get a SHSL title. A lot of people skip grades, I know a person who skipped like 3 or 4. And I know that there's a girl who graduated Jarvard at like age 16. It's not an exclusive enough title.

Of course, it's also possible that the SHSL could be what caused the char to skip grades, but then the SHSL title would be limited to academic smarts, like a standard academic prodigy, probably.

Then again, having a SHSL ability in another completely different field plus skipping grades is possible, but that would be a bit OP in my opinion.

I think it's not a bad idea, but I think it has potential to be really limiting, or to get OP. it really all boils down to the character and how they're played. And because I don't know the what Spriggs is thinking for the character, I can't really say

well Spriggs, write up a CS and we'll decide xD
