Soul Calibur: Crossed Paths (about 2 more spots open)

Ah, I was kind of wondering what took so long.
But we're live! Yay!

Dangan Ronpa: Reloaded

Well, correct me if I'm wrong on this one, I do believe we are short by two or three more students.
I don't suppose there's any harm in that. That is, unless the others also have plans to create a second character.
Then it'd be a race to see who can post theirs first.

@aeuternus flattery won't get you anywhere, you know. But really, thank you @w@.

Another day, another post. Another good morning to all of you.

I am glad to see that things are moving along quite nicely.

Dangan Ronpa: Reloaded

Huh, well that's an Ultimate you don't see everyday.

And there, I've posted.

Rio Andersen - Beautiful Days

Mt. Hope Academy...Yes, the word itself seemed to have an air of elegance and regality surrounding it, saying the word just roll's off one's tongue. Originally, it came from the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan and was known as Kibougamine Gakuen, or 'Hope's Peak Academy', but all the success and stories surrounding it garnered more than enough attention for all of the world to cock their heads to it. Whether on live TV news, the papers and tabloids, magazines, and even making rounds online, at first I was a little skeptical...What was so special about it anyway that it got that much attention? Was there a scandal surrounding it? Did one of the students get in some sort of trouble? Or was it really just a slow news day that time that they decided to cover a news story about a school? Well, I guess was ignorant at that time. It turned out that the academy is really picky about their students, in that they only accept the best of the best, and I'm not talking about best at every subject from English to Science (Although I'm pretty sure they'd accept someone like that.), they hunt down students with exceptional talents and those that are still in high school.

Now, I didn't really pay much attention to this until Mt. Hope Academy had opened up. Basically, it was an American branch of the original academy, and it came to a shock for me when I received an invitation saying I was "formally invited" to the academy and shape the future generation with my skills. Needless formality isn't something I personally like but who was I to deny a grandeur invitation? Knowing that my designs could actually hit the world by storm one day, I immediately packed my things and set off for the academy, but not before giving my mother one big squeeze and informing her that she had better get ready for my grand entrance to international fame! Now, I've only ever seen the academy from pictures but to actually see it towering over me was both intimidating and exciting! Taking a deep breath, I clutched the invitation in my hand and my suitcase in the other and entered the school grounds, however...The moment I stepped forward, my body tensed up from a sharp pain in my head, everything was...spinning...What is this? I put a hand over my head and stopped on my tracks to try and alleviate the headache, but even that seemed to worsen it. Eventually, I found myself hitting the cold, hard ground and my eyes felt heavy...It was as if the Sandman was trying to force me into slumber by sitting on them and in a matter of seconds, I drifted into unconsciousness...

Donovan Michaels - Beautiful Dead

I awoke to the sound of a very, very, VERY annoying voice...It was so squeaky and high-pitched, you'd almost mistake the person was a cartoon character...I got up from my slumber and surveyed my surroundings, the floor was wooden and the room could only be described as a gym. Everywhere around me were other slumbering students, still deep in their sleep, but after a few seconds they all seemed to be waking up one by one, the biggest question however, is how did I-and everyone else for that matter-get here? Last I remember, I was at the entrance about to enter this prestigious academy, heck I didn't even realize other people were going to attend since I didn't even SEE anyone at the entrance. Scratching my eyes for a moment, I regained composure only to be greeted by some sort of...plushie? It looked awfully cute, I wouldn't mind collecting it just for shits and giggles but that idea was quickly shot down when it began to speak...

I listened in horror as the bear toy explained to all of us that we were trapped inside the very school we were supposed to attend, and the only way of escaping was...murder?! That's stupid, ridiculous! That might just be me in denial but surely there must be some other way to escape this school without shedding blood, right? B-Besides...No one would really commit homicide just to get outside right? Then I immediately remember an article I read once, saying that people who cage themselves in for extended periods of time tend to get...unstable. It was questionable, sure, but at the time I never thought I'd actually be pushed into a situation where high school kids have to murder each other just to see the light of day again...

Then there was the talk of the class trial? Was that like some sort of court trial or another trial altogether? Before I could even ask the bear he disappeared behind the podium, but not before informing us all that we had ID's inside our pockets. I began to reach around my pocket to confirm, and true to his word there was a card-like object lodged inside of my pants. I can only hope that was the only thing that was there. I booted the thing up and it displayed my name in all of its glory, along with my blood type, height, weight, measurements, the basics. It even came with a map detailing the first floor! Oh joy. Now, while I'd like to gather clues and try to find out where we are right now, it would seem that the other students have certain things in mind first, like introductions...

Donovan Michaels

---

Name: Donovan Michaels

Age: 19

Talent: Ultimate Critic

Height/Weight: 5'9"/163lb

Wardrobe: Donovan doesn't have an eye for design and really just grabs the first thing in his closet. Although a peek in his wardrobe will greet one with mostly sweaters and hoodies, he's the type of person who wears clothing that covers every inch of his body even if it was hot like hell outside. He doesn't really like to clean up and hasn't cut his hair in a while.

Personality: Donovan comes off as cynical and jaded, there are points where his paranoia gets the best of him and believes that everyone around him are selfish beings only looking for themselves, sometimes including himself to the mix. Many have also said that he has mood swings that would give a teenager run for their money, constantly swishing back and forth being moderately happy and smiling to angry and mad at his peers for their superficial attitudes, to getting sad and mopey at himself for his inability to forge any lasting friendships. He's like a clock who has specific time intervals as to which emotion he should feel, sometimes he notices this and other times where he does not.

However, in reality, all of this comes from the stress of his line of work. Being a famous online critic known for reviewing various sources of media, be it movies, games, books, etc. takes a strain on one person when the constant pressure bombards you relentlessly. This is why he mainly tries to distance his internet persona to his real-life self, but more recently it's come to the point where both of his identities have melded into one broken mess. Outside of the internet, he is a down-to-earth person, who may seem a tad distant and quiet at first, but really, he's just trying to calm himself down so he can actually socialize without going off on a tangent again.

Likes: Smoking, coffee, smooth jazz, sleeping, rainy days, isolation, relaxation, candy.

Dislikes: Irate and nonsensical rants, arguments and claims with no valid sources, gullible people, stress from working, being told what to do, tasteless jokes and puns, making friends.

Trivia:

• His blood type is B.
• He had to repeat few years, he will not reveal as to why.

Willingness to become a victim: 5

Jesus! @Zenphilvian those are adorable and awesome! Here it comes guys, we've waited a week for this.
The hype is on and the despair train is about to board!

I guess one could say that peaceful days are over, let's survive.
I totally know that's the wrong game and fandom but hey.

Dangan Ronpa: Reloaded

All's been well, @MechonRaptor. My mood has been starting to gradually elevate, getting little sparks of inspiration now and then, but not really enough to make me feel determined to actually finish writing this story I wrote. I curse the fragility of the human nature sometimes.

Honestly, it doesn't seem like it's drama worth fighting over...At least I don't think so. But regardless, it seems that most-if not all-of us just seem to be waiting for the opening IC post.

Dangan Ronpa: Reloaded

I can only hope that's true. The IC post should be sometime today, our GM did say that.
