Dangan Ronpa: Sky's Peak Academy

"I'm Steven Rayburn, the Ultimate Mystery Writer," Steven eventually introduced himself after one of the girls asked. He found himself still feeling a bit intimidated by Andrew's gaze, but the boy at least introduced himself to him as the Ultimate Hacker. Right before that, another student had introduced himself, Elliot Heron, the Ultimate Fashion Designer.

"A mystery author, huh?" Another boy with gelled-back black hair asked, stepping forward and offering a hand to Steven, and then to Cecelia next once Steven shook his hand, "We could definitely use your talents here. This is one big mystery, after all." Steven felt himself warm up instantly to the guy, who then introduced himself.

"It really is great to meet the both of you. My name's Bryan Todorovich, and I'm the Ultimate Motivational Speaker!" Bryan grinned as he talked, and combined with his demeanor and how nicely dressed he was, it was hard not to feel at ease with the guy. He then added, "Whatever problems we face, we'll definitely make it through with you two on our side!"

"Wow, aha, thank you!" Steven replied, a bit flustered from the guy's pep.

"So we're all introducing ourselves now? Alright then." Said the auburn-red haired girl, stepping forward as she spoke, "Well, uh, I'm Sasha Alvera, and I was accepted as the Ultimate Card Player. And yes, that's a real talent." Steven thought she definitely looked the part. Her outfit reminded him of the kinds of players who often showed up on broadcasted poker games.

"I wasn't going to say it wasn't," Steven replied, noting how defensive she had already gotten, "I think that's a pretty cool talent actually."

"O-Oh...really?" She asked in surprise, her cheeks flushing slightly, "Well...thanks..." She seemed to retreat into herself after that, though Steven couldn't really tell why.

"Oi! Come on, let's hurry this along, we don't have time for you to act moe," a shorter tan girl with a pixie cut and dark green sports jacket interjected.

"Oh, uh, sorry," Sasha mumbled, her face now instead red with embarrassment.

"K, so, I'm Sydney Saran, Ultimate Parkour Athlete," the tan girl introduced herself, "There's a lot of us here and we have a lot of introductions to get through, so I'll just keep mine short."

"Wait, Parkour?" Steven asked, "Like, you know how to do flips off of buildings and stuff?"

"More or less," Sydney shrugged, "And I'm damn good at it. But seriously, that's enough, let's hurry this along." She looked towards a group of students who had kept quiet so far, indicating it was their turn to introduce themselves.

When they headed to the Gym, Steven felt anxiety in the pit of his stomach. Even though this seemed to be the only way to progress and possibly learn more about their situation, it overall made him feel worried that something bad was bound to happen. The anxiety only intensified when they reached the Gym doors. He took a deep breath and slowly let it out, as Cecelia pulled the doors open and let them inside.

Just like they'd suspected, there were other students inside. 14 students, to be exact. They all turned to look at the two newcomers, and though it made him feel nervous, he was glad to see that there actually were other students there, and that they were all safe.

Suddenly, a voice called out, and a boy rushed over and hugged Cecelia. He'd called her Cece...whoever he was, he seemed to be close with her. She seemed both relieved yet worried to see him, for which Steven didn't blame her. A familiar face was always nice, but in a situation like this, it was potentially dangerous for them.

"H-Huh? Uh..." Steven said nervously when the boy glared at him. Cecelia reassured him, he caught his name was Andrew, that Steven was ok, though the boy still still was glaring, albeit more softly. Was he a boyfriend? A brother? He did sort of look like her.

"Y-Yeah, I'm just a friend," Steven told him with a nervous smile, "I met Cecelia just a little while ago. We were both confused and ran into each other after waking up in one of the classrooms...Separately of course! We both just want to know what's going on."

"Join the club," sighed one of the other students, a girl with auburn-red hair, "We're all confused. We all woke up in a classroom after presumably passing out in front of the school, and just sort of, met up here after awhile."

"You guys too!?" Steve exclaimed. Every single one of them had the exact same experience? How was that even possible?

Dangan Ronpa: Sky's Peak Academy

'My reaction...?' He thought to himself, but when she explained what her Title was, he immediately understood. So she was a Psychologist, and an Ultimate one at that. No wonder she'd read him so easily. That made her quite a powerful ally for this kind of situation. This made him wonder though, were the two of them targeted specifically then? Obviously they were targeted as Sky's Peak students, but that seemed to be as far as the pattern went. There didn't really seem to be any connection between their talents, so if they really were targeted by someone, it must had been solely for the fact that they were Ultimate students, and not because of their specific Talents. That possibly meant that there were other students that were targeted as well...

Cecelia seemed to have the same idea.

"Good idea. There probably are other students here, somewhere," Steven nodded in agreement, "We should check the other classrooms first, since those're the rooms where we woke up."

As soon as he suggested that, however, a loud scratching noise began to play over the intercom system. Steven covered his ears, trying to block it out, but the noise ended just as quickly as it began, and was replaced by a voice.

"...Ahem! This is your Headmaster speaking. I didn't want to have to give any pre-orientation announcements, but it appears we have a couple of stragglers on our hands. All students are to go to the school Gymnasium, where a mandatory Orientation will soon be held. Upupupu! Don't be late!"

Once the intercom message ended, Steven turned to Cecelia.

"...I didn't just imagine that, right?" He asked. The voice they heard sounded child-like, but at the same time, sinister. It was creepy, to say the least. However, it confirmed that there indeed were other students there, likely waiting at the Gymnasium.

"That voice...it called itself our Headmaster," Steven said, "Whoever it is, they're trying to make it seem like this is some sort of normal school thing that's going on. I don't like this at all...but, it sounds like we have no choice but to go. And if there really are other students, then they'll be at the Gym."

He looked around once again, and saw a sign hanging from the ceiling of one hallway that said "GYMNASIUM". Well that made finding the place easier. The Gym would probably be at the end of the hall.

He looked back to Cecelia, and gave a look that said "I'll go if you will."

The boy grimaced when she told him she had an identical experience. He nodded at her guess, but internally could feel panic start to rise once again. So it was a pattern then. They had been targeted and attacked in some way, and then put in an empty school that was possibly Sky's Peak. The whole situation sounded like something from out of one of his novels. That didn't bode well at all.

He broke out of his thought process when the girl began to introduce himself. That's right, they didn't even know each other's names. They were likely going to have to work together to find out what was going on, so getting to know each other was a good decision.

"Cecelia Greene..." he repeated back to her, before giving her a small smile, "It's nice to meet you, Cecelia. My name's Steven Rayburn." He paused for a moment. "Hey...since we're likely in Sky's Peak Academy right now, does that mean you're a student here too? I was accepted as the Ultimate Mystery Writer." He gave a thoughtful look, adding, "We both lost consciousness after reaching the gates to the school, and if we're both Ultimate students, then that would basically confirm where we're at."

Dangan Ronpa: Sky's Peak Academy

The teenaged boy suddenly heard someone call out to him, much to his surprise. He hadn't honestly thought anyone else was here. As he turned towards the voice, he saw that the person was a girl, who looked to be around his age. She seemed to be a bit winded, so he let her catch her breath before replying to her.

"Oh man, you have no idea how glad I am too," he said, as he let out a sigh of relief, "Well, maybe you do. I don't really know what's happening either." He looked around the hallway they were in, before continuing, "I guess...we might be in the school. Uh, I mean, Sky's Peak Academy. I was walking up to the front gates, last I remember, and then I woke up in one of the classrooms here. Did that...happen to you too?"

The odds of that happening, under normal circumstances, were very slim. But these were definitely not normal circumstances. If the same thing had happened to the woman in front of him, then that made it a pattern. And that meant someone really was behind this strange event. Someone might had knocked them both out and placed their unconscious bodies in a classroom, possibly at Sky's Peak. But why?

Dangan Ronpa: Sky's Peak Academy

"Huh...?"

A young man yawned as he sat up in his seat. He must've fallen asleep during class, he figured, but it only took a moment more of thought for him to realize that couldn't be true. School hadn't even started yet. In fact, the last thing he remembered was walking up to school. He was supposed to be entering Sky's Peak Academy for the first time since being accepted as a student. So...why was he here? In fact, where even was he?

It was just now that he was starting to realize where he was. He was sitting at a desk in what seemed to be a classroom. In fact, he was fairly certain it was a classroom, as it looked like a pretty stereotypical one. Well, minus the camera and monitor on the wall. What was up with that? And, wait, was that a steel plate on the wall to his left?

He jumped up from his seat. He got closer to the steel plate, and hesitantly tapped it. Yep, it was definitely steel. And it wasn't just hanging on a wall, it seemed to actually be covering where a window would go. What the hell? Panic began to rise in his head. What was going on? Was he at Sky's Peak? Why did his memories feel like mush? Who was doing this?

All he knew, was that he had to get out of there. He stepped away and went over to the classroom door, and after finding it unlocked, he opened it and exited the room. He found himself in a hallway, what looked like a school hallway to be exact. He seemed to be completely alone.

"H-Hello?" He called out, "Is there anyone else here?"

Dangan Ronpa: Sky's Peak Academy

"Kibougamine Academy...

Despite being a Japanese school, it was famous world-wide as the best school in the world. The best of the best of Japan's high school students were the only ones who could attend, as well as a very minute amount of foreign exchange students. In fact, many students from around the world would desperately try to become exchange students from their country to Japan, as success was guaranteed to any and all who graduated. Unfortunately for them, it was a largely pointless effort. Kibougamine Academy was meant to be a symbol of hope for Japan, and only for Japan.

Eventually, copy cat schools began to pop up in various countries. However, none were ever nearly as successful as Kibougamine. The schools never gained much renown, and the students who graduated never met any of the immediate success promised to them.

But then, one country found a way. The United States of America, in a plea of desperation, managed to get the attention of a certain group with unknown intentions. Their leader, a seemingly simple fashion model, secretly promised American government officials that she could easily get a school built in America that would be of the same caliber as Kibougamine. The girl's power was doubted, but she had an extremely powerful following. As part of the deal, her group would build the school with their power alone, though the government could supervise to make sure everything went as planned. All the girl asked for in return, was permission to place members of her group in America without having to vie for citizenship. Though the government was wary of her intentions, and were apprehensive of the group's power, their desperation ended up overpowering their cautiousness, and they allowed it. Besides, they doubted her group could ever gain any influence.

And so, Sky's Peak Academy was born. The name was admittedly awkward, but the girl demanded that it be the school's name, to both reference and mock the school in Japan. Still, the American school was an architectural marvel, and seemed to have a limitless amount of money pumped into it, all funded by the mysterious group. Publically, however, the school was said to have been made by American geniuses, funded by the government itself. Most people accepted it as fact, though there were quite a few who found the whole thing to be too shady. Conspiracy theories had begun to spring up, all of which were denied or ignored by the government.

But now, it was all going to be tested, to see if all the trouble was worth it. The 1st Class of Sky's Peak Academy were to be enrolled. Students of all grades and ages from across the country were going to be invited, and be labeled with Ultimate talents, all as the symbolic hope of America itself."

Welcome to the RP! Me and @Guardian Angel Haruki are going to be the players. If there's anyone who wants to read our misadventures of our characters being forced to kill each other, feel free to also comment in the OOC thread. It'd be pretty awesome tbh if this ended up catching anyone's interest.

Once the both of us post our characters in the Character tab, then the RP will begin.

====================

How This Works: The both of us create eight characters a piece. Of those eight, we each get a co-protagonist character, who generally help lead during the story, investigations, and trials. During each chapter, one of us leads as that chapter's protagonist, and goes through free time events and generally have their character as the main point of view during story events. While the other controls Monobear, sets up the motive, and devises up the murder, investigation, trial, and execution. They lay out all the evidence for the protagonist to search for (with help from all of the other characters of course), and then throw obstacles at the protagonist to solve such as Non-Stop Debates, Epiphany Anagrams, Cross Swords Arguments, Logic Dives, and Machine Gun Talk/Bullet Time Battles. Once a chapter ends, we switch roles.

====================

Currently Controlling Monobear: Mike73
