Danganronpa Roleplay (Interest Check)

[TheSeriousJoke]

@AimeChambers Will do! I'll reserve it for you in case I end up deciding to allow it.

[BrokenPromise]

@TheSeriousJoke

@Warpcircuit and I are working on some characters for your RP. SHSL Assassin and SHSL Conquest.

[TheSeriousJoke]

@BrokenPromise Awesome! Mind telling me who's who, just for reference?

[BrokenPromise]

@TheSeriousJoke I will be SHSL Conquest.

[TheSeriousJoke]

@BrokenPromise Right on! I'll put you guys down in just a second.

[Warpcircuit]

@TheSeriousJoke

Can confirm @BrokenPromise. I am working on an application for a SHSL Assassin.

Will there be a discord/groupme server for this RP? If you weren't planning on it, I'd recommend trying it out, it's an excellent way to keep in touch with everyone outside of the roleplayer guild, and people can bounce ideas off each other and all of that character creation stuff in a quick message format.

[TheSeriousJoke]

@Warpcircuit I wasn't planning on it, but I'm not inherently opposed to making one. I don't want to use GroupMe because I use that for personal stuff, but while I've never used discord I'm down to give it a shot

[TheSeriousJoke]

Here's a link to the discord server, created by @Warpcircuit. I'll also be adding it to the original post, for simplicity's sake.

First character! The pm will be sent out soon!

Kara O'Hara

Name: Kara O'Hara

Talent: Dessert Chef

Gender: Female
Appearance: At only four foot eleven, it isn't strange that everyone else towers over her. But even though Kara has been a teenager for quite a few years now, she can't help but use her short stature to her advantage. She continues to wear anything to complement her cute aesthetic, commonly wearing a plaid blue ruffle dress with a matching blue ribbon tied on her head. Along with her ribbon, she keeps her hair in curled pigtail braids. At the back of her outfit, there are two soft angel wings sewn into a cute maroon backpack, a surprise addition to her bright getup, but Kara often forgets they're even there. With such an outrages outfit, people often think she is the SHSL Cosplayer.

Personality: Kara is a sweet girl who wishes to share her pastries together with the world at large. She hates yelling and fighting, believing that all problems can be sorted out over dessert. Because of her condition, the heart problem is triggered by anger or stress and she tries to keep as optimistic as possible. She enjoys hanging out with friends, taking photos to keep as memorabilia and of course, dessert making. She wants to help others out with what strength she has, but her condition often sets her back. She's never able to try all the things she wants to and that has become an extreme insecurity of hers. But Kara loves to live vicariously through other people about adventures and travel. Due to her fascination with Europe, Kara enjoys reading travel magazines and reading books that focus on exploration.

Backstory: Kara was born with an irregular heartbeat. Even though it didn't bother her much as a kid, her mother pressed to have her stay inside if there was even a slight chance of bad weather. Kara stayed in most of the time as a child and spent time with her grandmother since her mother was always so busy. Her mother then met a man from Japan and had a child, before they decided to move to Japan. Kara didn't want to leave her home with her grandmother and it was decided that the girl would continue to get treatment in the United States while she stayed with her grandmother. The two of them loved to cook together, especially sweets.

As she grew into her teens, her symptoms got worse. Kara now suffers from Arrhythmia, specifically Bradycardia. This is when your heartbeat is too slow. It can mean that not enough blood reaches your brain and can cause you to pass out. After spending a few more years being treated by the doctor's in America, she was deemed safe enough to move to live with her parents in Japan. While she was sad to leave her grandmother, the older woman gave her a parting gift and the two of them would frequently send baked goods by mail to each other.

After winning a cooking competition at her high school, Kara's talent was written out in the newspaper and wealthy men and women called on her to make her dishes for them, soon gaining them as sponsors. Finally, she was invited to Hope's Peak Academy to continue her studies.

Trivia:
-Her Grandmother hand stitched her outfit
-The first dish she ever made was a plate of chocolate chip cookies with her Grandmother
-Dislikes pineapple and mangos
-Kara decided to keep her Grandmother's last name instead of her new stepfather's one.

Second Character! ^^

Hibiki Matsuo

Name: Hibiki Matsuo

Talent: Tutor

Gender: Male

Appearance:
A bit on the thin side. Hibiki generally wears whatever he feels most comfortable in. He doesn't necessarily have bedhead, but usually lets his hair do whatever it likes, curling up in the weirdest angles. Luckily Hibiki recently got new glasses, otherwise, the boy would have been reduced to wear uncomfortable contacts since his cat had demolished them just a week or two ago. With the spring in full bloom, Hibiki prefers wearing thinner shirts but likes to keep long sleeves on in a failed attempt at keeping his arms unscathed from his tabby's ferocious claws. When in more formal settings, he'll smooth his hair back and wear a button-down shirt, but any other time he prefers his laidback wardrobe, it's much easier to replace.

Personality: Hibiki is a rather laid-back individual in both his fashion sense and his way of life. While he loves to help others complete their goals, he has none of his own, letting the road of life lead him wherever it will. In truth, Hibiki only came to Hope's Peak in order to help the other Super highschool level students. Hibiki can be rather enthusiastic in certain situations though. When it comes to animals, he becomes the SHSL cuddler and loves to always be petting some part of their fur. Hibiki is sometimes interested in video games and arts and crafts, but is usually interrupted by the little fiesty feline of his.

Backstory: Hibiki is an only child of two career-driven parents, his mother a surgeon and his father a prosecutor. Hibiki never really had anyone to play with as a kid, but when he was younger he found a stray cat pawing at the blinds of his cracked open bedroom window. The boy started taking care of the girl tabby and stealthily took care of her without his parents knowing.

As he grew into middle school age, Hibiki started staying at the library since Hana basically slept the day away on his pillow. There he met a few boys younger than him, all struggling in one school subject or another. Hibiki started helping them with their work and their grades skyrocketed. A boy who had been threatening to drop out because of his poor grades was suddenly an A+ student. When the students of his middle school's test scores grew so much that the region recognized the school for its excellence, Hibiki was giving his own after school class and was recognized for his amazing supportive talent.

Soon a new friend entered his life, a little tabby named Ritsu that was the baby of the cat that had crawled in all those years ago. Everything seemed to be going well enough and Hibiki was looking into different highschools when he got the invitation to Hope's Peak Academy.

Trivia:
-Hibiki may in fact like cats a little too much.
-Cats always seem to flock to him and use Hibiki as a jungle gym.
-Hibiki can sleep anywhere
-He hates contact lenses.

Color: turqoise

@AimeChambers Kara is accepted, with Hibiki pending based on my decisions. I'll edit the original post in the morning, and I'll probably let everyone know my decision on second character sometime tomorrow.

[BrokenPromise]

Name:

Davis Gallo

Talent:

SHSL Conquest

Gender:

Male

Appearance:

Davis's ability to grow facial hair makes him look older than he actually is. Davis also typically wears his shirt open, tie parted, so that the world can see his chest hair, which looks like a wilderness.

Backstory:

Davis's father and mother were successful people. The mother made it as a supermodel with her great looks, and his father was a very talented businessman. They gave the best to their only son, but expected the best in return. Remember, A is for average, B is for bad, C is for...

But Davis grew into a proud boy, smug and a braggart. He does not like to be challenged, and tends to explode with anger when his claims are brought into question, or any time he is displeased really. He never gets physical however, and his temper fizzles out rather quickly.

the Steering Committee at Hope’s Peak soon discovered “Conquest” in a corrupt cassino. Somehow an underage boy, white no less, managed to gain entry and was cleaning out every table he stood in front of. Regardless of how rigged the game was, he beat it with ease.

Hope's peak decided to add Davis's ability to snatch victory in any situation to their roster.

Other information:

-While Davis claims he can win anything he wants, there are times he declines a challenge because it's “too far beneath him.”

-While Davis is best known for beating casinos, he's also beaten black belt martial artists at tournaments and chiefs on their own cooking shows.

-Davis is not shy when it comes to talking about woman.

[Warpcircuit]

Name:
Alice Parker

Talent:
SHSL Assasssin

Gender:
Female

Appearance

”Appearance”

Backstory

Born in a city in the all-american nation of the United States, Alice Parker doesn’t really have much of an eventful childhood. It wasn’t very abnormal at all, and almost no part of her childhood could be attributed to her later disposition towards killing individuals. It was almost eerie how normal her childhood was, in fact. She had a father, and a mother, and she was the middle of three siblings. She also had several cousins. Her mother was motherly, her father was fatherly, her brother was brotherly, her sister was sisterly. She went to school, and she got average grades. So how did Alice Parker, whose only talent was being ordinary, become the Super Highschool Level Assassin?

Her life was rather uneventful, until she met her significant other. Someone that was nothing short of perfect. Alice Parker couldn’t help fall head over heels for him, and together they broke the ordinary that plagued Alice’s life. Everything that was once so dull and gray, He was able to splash with color. She would do anything for him, and together, anything is what they could do.

Then one day, something changed. And no one noticed. Because a good assassin knows how to hide their work. Somehow, the Steering Committee at Hope’s Peak found themselves scouting a Super Highschool Level Assassin. Who knows how many assassinations she has been responsible for, or anything about her nefarious talent?

Any other information you'd like to share

Even though she is publicly known as the SHSL assassin, no one knows if she has actually murdered anyone before.

[TheSeriousJoke]

Alright, thanks for submitting, guys! You're accepted (though I'm awaiting your PM, Warp)

Unfortunately I have a busy day today, so aside from me checking this forum every now and then you won't be hearing a lot out of me. However, I'll be deciding on second characters sometime today, so there's that to look forward to. And I should be more available starting tomorrow.

[Aewin]

Just posting my interest here. Got a few ideas, but very little in terms of a fleshed out character but I'll say when I have a talent in mind!

[Melo]

I'm interested. I don't have a specific talent in mind yet. But I'll be brainstorming. Is that alright?

[BrokenPromise]

In the event we get to have a second character, I would like to reserve SHSL Celebrity Impersonator.

[TheSeriousJoke]

I'm always welcome to new faces! Just let me know when you make up your mind on talents!

@BrokenPromise I'l reserve it in a few moments

[Melo]

I'll be reserving the shsl ????

[alexfangtalon]

Count me in. I've already got a character in mind. On that note, I'd like for them to be an American, as it's more appropriate for their talent. Might I also suggest that any time the last name is given in front of the first name, a comma is used? it would cause less confusion overall I think, as "Damian Pierce" seems to be in western format but you call your character "Hisakawa" even though you asked for names in an Eastern format.

Name: Cardona, Alex
Wrestling Name: Ryder, Seth
Talent: SHSL Swagger

u wot m8

"Professional Wrestler" is generally not the same thing as a "Wrestler", as one is real and one is fake. The occupation titles are unfortunately used interchangeably, so if he were the SHSL "Professional Wrestler", it would imply he was a legitimate wrestler. On the other hand, SHSL Actor, SHSL Charisma, SHSL Grandstander, and SHSL Hype Man all have unfitting connotations, so I went with Swagger.

Gender: ♂
Appearance:

Hider

Backstory: In his youth, he was an avid fan of professional wrestling. A bit of a mischievous child, he would often mess with fights, at first in minor ways. Since he would regularly attend events, (thanks to his parents both being professional wrestlers) this continued for quite a bit and slowly escalated. By the time he started to cause significant interference with matches, "the Ryder kid" had already gained a reputation for the excitement he induced. Every time he was involved, the matches were guaranteed some sort of subtly provided twist. Since these fights, including their outcomes, are choreographed, it was decided it would be easier to get him in on it rather than deal with a backlash that might occur from banning him. He was still too young to be allowed to wrestle of course, but he was given a wrestling persona, "Seth Ryder", which allowed greater freedom to directly interfere with fights. (For example, from the stage or out of the ring instead of from the stands) He had to abide by the guidelines he was given, but he even pushed the boundaries on that. By the time he was old enough to become a pro wrestler, his character's debut match was already one of the most hyped of the year. While he hasn't been a professional wrestler for long, writers were happy to indulge in his reputation, giving him an undefeated record.
Other information:
- Very tall
- He inherited his father's "WOO WOO WOO!" cheers.
- Despite gaining a reputation before becoming a wrestler, he did get proper training and he did develop the body for the job.
- His wrestling trunks have a QR code over the crotch. The QR Code is for his twitter. Has millions of followers.
- Has a Wikipedia page (in-universe) where anyone could look up all of the above.

@Ryik

Wait, is this supposed to be Zack Ryder's kid? If so, awesome taste in a wrestler. Zack is awesome. They need to give him a big push.
