Danganronpa Alternate: Apologies to Hope (Reboot) [Deader than Disco]

Hisakawa Hiroki

Hisakawa has never really been one for sleeping in. In fact, it was pretty rare for him to sleep past sunrise—why sleep for eight hours if he can function just fine on three? So feeling himself awaken to a ray of sun hitting his eyes was pretty uncommon, but it wasn’t necessarily unwelcome. Though he couldn’t let himself sleep just yet…

As awareness came to him, he groggily attempted to evaluate his surroundings—specifically, listening for breathing. After a moment, he did pick up the sound of someone breathing sleepily, as well as the pressure on his chest—the weight of another person. He let out a quiet sigh, then wrapped his arms around the person on top of him, knowing he won’t have to get up right away.

He let himself relax into the haze of the morning. It was always remarkably peaceful here—well, the neighbors didn’t make a lot of noise, at any rate. Otherwise it was decently comfortable, but he had his complaints. The carpet was kinda gross, they probably haven’t done a renovation since the place was built, and the shower—you know what? Let’s not think too hard about the shower.

Hisakawa recentered himself, focusing on the woman in his arms. He raised his hand over to her head, lazily stroking it though her hair. It wasn’t everyday that—

Wait.

Oh no, that’s not right.

Hisakawa opened his eyes. It wasn't just the hair, nothing about this was right. He looked at the woman sleeping on top of him, and didn’t even remotely recognize her. He looked around the room, but it was all as unfamiliar as the girl. He tried to run through his memories of yesterday, trying to understand where he was and who the hell this girl was, but ultimately came up empty. The last thing he can even remember is showing up at Hope’s Peak academy, about to start his first day at the prestigious school.

“Ooooh nooooo.” He muttered, bringing has hands up to his face. He wasn’t really sure about the exact situation that brought this about, but he couldn't imagine any circumstances that didn't mean he didn't do something wrong somewhere down the line.

God, this was bad. This was really, really, really bad. There was a pit in his stomach, wanting him to do something about this, but also terrified of confronting the situation. He squeezed his face, digging his nails in, using the pressure and sting to help him focus. This may not be as bad as he thinks it is. It may just be his imagination getting the better of him. Either way, he had to wake this person up and figure out what happened, as much as he may not want to confront it. It’d be worse to just leave and not figure out what happened, anyway, right? After a couple more moments of mental debate, he gently tapped she girl on top of him, speaking as she began to wake. With his other hand, he pressed his fingernails into the palm of his hand, trying to keep himself focused and present.

“So, uhm-” He coughs a bit, his voice coming a out a little hoarse, “Listen, I’m really sorry. I gotta be honest, I don’t really remember anything that happened last night, and this really isn’t-” He moved his hands to remove the girl from on top of him, but, not wanting to touch her, he ended up putting his arms at his sides, “and this really isn’t looking good. Um..." He paused, trying to wrap up what he was saying as quick as possible, not wanting to waste any of this woman's time, and trying to get this over with as quickly as possible "So, what exactly happened?"

Himura Chikako

Himura woke from her slumber, and found that she was actually kinda cold. Ugh, that’s annoying, though it really wasn’t all that uncommon for her to end up kicking her blanket off in the middle of the night, so she wasn’t that surprised. She felt around, trying to get comfortable so she could sleep again, only to end up with a clump of grass in her hand instead. She raised herself up on her elbow, analyzing the grass for a second (yep, that’s grass), before looking at her surroundings. Grass. There’s some trees over there. Some buildings over there. A couple of people on the ground somewhat near her. She doesn’t recognize any of them, nor does she remember how she got here.

She sat up, quickly adapting to the circumstances. Though deeply confused about where she was and who she was with, and certainly not comfortable with that, she simply put on a smile (though not a totally natural one), pointing it at the only awake person near her—some boy in pretty white robes, “Hey there!” She said, keeping her tone casual, “How did you sleep last night? I slept like a baby, myself! Y’know, sleeping on the ground is a lot more comfortable than people give it credit for!” Conversational and friendly without being specific—whatever happened to her, that was probably broad enough to cover her bases. Unless she wasn’t supposed to talk, or be conversational and friendly…

Well, she had already done it, so the best she could do would be to improvise from here.

Danganronpa Alternate: Apologies to Hope (Reboot) [Deader than Disco]

Ahahahahaha! Oh, it’s been WAY too long since there’s a been a killing game! Wait… When was the last one? It seems my memory is all jumbled up! Bah, who cares! I can still run a good killing game! After all, the real key to a killing game isn’t strategy or might- it’s heart! And my heart is pounding from the anticipation! Is it here? Is it finally underway!? Ah, I can’t wait any longer! Let’s start let’s start let’s start!

The sun rises, washing the world in a warm light as you rise from your heavy slumber. Crisp air fills your lungs- it’s chilly, but not cold. Did your heater stop working last night or something? You know, now that you think about it, this doesn’t seem like your bed at all... Through the haze of waking up, you open your eyes- and you very quickly realize that you don’t recognize this place at all. You take in your surroundings, trying to find something familiar, but having no success.

This location is unfamiliar, and this situation strange. Where you are and what happened to you is mysterious—now, it's all a matter of deciding what to do next.

Danganronpa Alternate: Apologies to Hope (Reboot) [Deader than Disco]

Hisakawa Hiroki

Name: Hisakawa Hiroki

Talent: SHSL Type A Student

Gender: Male

Appearance: Hisakawa is 5’8”, with pale skin, dark eyes, mid-back length black hair he keeps in a low ponytail. His build is pretty average, and contrary to what one might expect, he dresses pretty casually—a faded t-shirt (usually with some random English word on it), some old jeans, worn-out sneakers, and a gray jacket make up his usual attire.

Personality: Hisakawa is… kind of a weird guy. He’s not really creepy or annoying or hard to work with or anything, but he tends to act as if something bad is definitely about to happen. Like, all the time. He lives life like he’s going to die by the end of the day, mostly because he’s convinced that he just might. Though calm, he seems to do things that limit his connection to being a normal person, such as not eating or sleeping in front of people, and acts fairly carelessly and recklessly, at least when it comes to his own self-preservation.

However, while he doesn’t really care for himself anymore, he cares much more for other people, and tries to be careful about how others perceive him, how he makes them feel, and most importantly, how useful he can be to them. Hisakawa pretty much assumes that unless he’s directly helping someone, his presence would just be bothersome. Not to mention, he’s most relaxed when there’s some task to attend to, even though he doesn’t believe he’s genuinely good at anything (what the hell kind of a talent is “Type A Student”, anyway?).

Backstory: Not a whole lot is publicly available on Hisakawa’s life, but what is known about him is that he was incredible academic prodigy, achieving stellar grades from kindergarten on along with all sort of extracurricular activities that he somehow always seemed to balance, even through stressful life events, such as several moves between the US and Japan. However, a few months into his first year of high school, things started to fall apart. He began dropping activities, and grades became harder for him to maintain. Logically, it’s most likely that the difficulty became too much for him, but the drop was so sudden that it doesn’t seem to be the case, especially since he did just fine earlier in the year. Not long after, he dropped out of school and ran away from home, with no word to where he went or why he left. However, he resurfaced with an invitation from Hope’s Peak to attend as the SHSL Type A Student, for the academic excellence he had maintained through most of his life.

Himura Chikako

Name: Himura Chikako

Talent: SHSL Rhythm Game Player

Gender: Female

Appearance: Himura stands at 5’7”, has a tan complexion, and fluffy, chin-length hair and bangs that she dyes bright orange. Her green eyes are often alright with the passion of dance (or sometimes, the rage of “What do you MEAN it’s not real dancing!?”), and she wears a lot of bright colors to match. She wears an oversized orange crop top over a bright pink hooded tank top, purple athletic pants down the the mid-calf, and ankle high socks and orange sneakers.

Personality: Himura is a woman of relentless pride, passion, and energy. Some may consider it silly, even childish, for her to take so much pride in her top scores in DDR or Guitar Hero, but she does so anyway, regardless of what anyone thinks (and she’ll be sure to let you know just how much she doesn’t care). She always tries to keep things positive and have a fun energy, though passionate joy can easily become passionate rage in the right circumstances.

To her, competition is the spirit of friendship. She often attempts good natured squabbles and one-upmanship, though she knocks it off if people tell her to. Of course, her preferred field of battle is rhythm games, on which she has never lost. If she wins, she tends to gloat, if she loses, she’s not exactly graceful, but regardless, once she’s given time to cool down, she accepts the results as they are, and considers her competitor a new friend. Regardless, she always tries to be kind to others, though she suffers from being bad at reading people, and can sometimes come across as thoughtless when she genuinely just didn’t pick up on something.

Additionally, she tends to be impulsive, and tries to get things done the quickest and easiest way. She gets bored without something to do, and enjoys chatting with people about this, that, and the other thing. She does her best to be a force of positivity wherever she goes, and she accepts people for who they are and who they tell her she is, especially since she wants the same in kind.

Backstory: “The future? Eh, I don’t really know what I’m gonna do. Maybe I’ll just get so good at rhythm games that Hope’s Peak will accept me!”

Himura (known on the internet as RaRaRevolution, or RaRa-chan by her fans) listened to music all the time as a child, and as she went about her daily life, she became more attuned to the rhythm of the songs she listened to, and everything she did she started to do to the beat of the song that was on at the moment. Be it classical or country, hip hop or a movie soundtrack, Himura always found a groove to move to.

She played her first rhythm game when she was 12 years old, having recently moved in with her adoptive parents. Her agility and natural sense of rhythm lead to her totally crushing it, and by the end of the week she had gone above and beyond in earning the high score. Since then, be it dancing or music based, she’s played whatever rhythm game she could get her hands on, honing her craft into a veritable art form, earning herself a following on YouTube for her incredible level of precision and accuracy, which eventually got her noticed by Hope’s Peak.

Additional Info:
-She's pretty good with other types of games, but she prefers rhythm games to anything else.
-She is, objectively, the best girl.

Danganronpa Alternate: Apologies to Hope (Reboot) [Deader than Disco]

Locations

Chapter 1

General Layout

(Credits to Addamas for the map)

The 16 students from Hope's Peak Academy woke up inside of a mysterious outdoor camping site. As far as they could see, they were fenced in- and not even the shorelines offered a way out, with machine guns being stationed not too far off the coast. Every angle of the campsite was in the line of sight of at least a single security camera.

Main Gate

A tall fence surrounds the entire campsite, leaving no angle open to squeeze through. The sturdy, crossed wire leaves too little room to be grappled and scaled. Even if it were possible, the low hum and occasional crackle coming from the construction indicate that doing so would be an unwise idea. Lest one wants to meet a quick and uncomfortable end, the fence is best steered clear of.
There is only a single exit, but it is a locked gate. There seems to be some sort of control pad next to it, perhaps to open the way to the outside. Without a password, it doesn't seem like a viable way to get out.

Fire Pit

A small patch of forestry isolates the fire pit from the rest of the camp. It hosts a few stray rocks as seating. The fire clearly hasn’t been lit in a while. There's some sticks for roasting marshmallows, but the monsters who locked you up gave you none to roast.

Outdoor Amphitheater

A gathering place carved from stone, fashioned after an old greek outdoor theatre. Standing on the stage gives you a nice view out onto the lake. It could probably seat, well, a whole summer camp’s worth of kids.

Resident Cabins (Updated)

16 cabins are arranged next to one another. Each cabin is labeled with the intended owner. There’s an iron bar over all but one of the cabin doors, locked into place. The cabins each have a number and a nameplate:
1: Hitsugami
2: Saitou
3: Matsuo
4: Tsuin
5: Hamazura
6: Dawnray
7: Mizuno
8: Yukimori
9: Fuduka
10: Hisakawa
11: Emiya
12: Hart
13: Usui
14: Iclyn
15: Fuchs
16: Himura

The inside of each cabin is identical. It looks a bit desolate— the space was likely made to accommodate about 8 people instead of just one. Inside there’s a bed, a nightstand beside it, and a closet. The closet is filled with changes of clothing, each the same outfit as the one you awoke in, as well as a few towels. Placed on the nightstand are toiletries for you to use, as well as a key to your cabin. Bathrooms are absent.

Office

There’s a building that looks to be an office or headquarters area. It’s pretty big- this is probably where the business side of the camp is taken care of. However, trying the door shows that it’s locked.

Mess Hall

An eating area. The tables and chairs are wooden, and definitely were made with functionality in mind rather than comfort. There’s access to the kitchen, so those who are so inclined can cook their meals. The storage is stacked with a variety of foods, so famine isn't a pressing concern. Still no marshmallows.

Shower and Bathroom Area

A place to shower and use the bathroom. Nothing of real interest, other than there’s only one unisex bathroom area, rather than two separate ones- however, showers and toilets are both in stalls that can be locked from the inside, so privacy is still possible.

Various Activity Cabins

There are few different cabins that look to be made for activities. One holds a bunch of art supplies, so you would guess it to be some sort of crafting room. Another is less of an activity cabin and more of a store room for sporting equipment. The third and final one seems to be an area for campers to go and listen to presentations. There’s some binders in the back room from frequent presenters- some on camp safety and what do in an emergency situation, some on plant identification, some on how to start of fire- they’re pretty much all on camping stuff. The major thing of note is that all of these are written in English. Did you somehow get from Japan to here!? There’s also a projector- one of the one’s where you put transparent sheets over it and write in marker, you know?

Docks and Boat House

There’s a dock, along with a green hut that holds all the canoes. Paddling around shows that there are other docks, but the ever looming threat of machine gun fire leads you to reconsider visiting them for the moment.

Research Labs

Down another path are five different cabins, each looking more modern than anything else on campus. Opening them reveals different rooms, all of which seemed styled to a specific student. All of them are labeled as such:

RESEARCH LAB FOR [NAME]

SHSL [TALENT]

The five labs are as follows:

Himura Chikako’s lab

This cabin has a whole wall dedicated to CDs of every rhythm game known to man. Not only that, but a slew of appliances and game consoles are stacked in every corner. With the amount of floor space, it's easy enough to drag anything short of the two-player game station in the corner anywhere needed to play. There’s also a Hydration Station (a cooler with some bottled water and sports drinks).

Aurel Fuchs’ lab

A space containing tons of maps and tools used to commit heists. There’s also some cacti by the window, and a sink decked out with a water can and soap. In the far corner is a collection of stuffed animals.

Yukimori Maiya’s lab

A workshop containing a desk with some tools and several containers filled with miscellaneous items, from office supplies to pieces of broken electronics to old articles of clothing.

Lilly Hart’s lab

This lab is filled with all sorts of computer setups for all of your hacking needs- though there’s no wifi connection, unfortunately.

Matsuo Hibiki’s lab

A comfortable sitting space. There are rows upon rows of bookshelves littered with all kinds of literature and textbooks, making this the perfect place to study.

Class Trials

Chapter 1

Truth Bullets

Public:

Truth Bullet - Monokuma File 1
The victim is Naomi Fuduka, the Ultimate Linguist.
The victim's body was discovered in Naomi's cabin.
The estimated time of death is anywhere from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
The cause of death was asphyxiation due to the open wound at the throat. No other fatal injuries were detected.

Truth Bullet - Handcuffs
The rules of the handcuffs make it so that people have to stay connected to the person they’re linked to, and can only disconnect 20 minutes a day. This timer resets at midnight.

Truth Bullet - Fish Hook
A large fish hook, covered in blood. Discovered inside of Naomi's hand.

Truth Bullet - Blood Stains
Blood stains Naomi's torso and bed. Its been dry for several hours.

Truth Bullet - Throat Wound
Upon further inspecting the wound at Naomi's throat, it appears deeper than initially assumed.
The deeper part of the wound was not a clean cut.

Truth Bullet - Cabin Door
The door to the cabin is unlocked—on closer inspection, the bar used to “lock” the door isn’t technically unlocked. The locked end had been pulled out of the old wood.

Truth Bullet - CD Case
An CD case without a cover, along with some fragments of the CD inside. Found in Yukimori’s lab trash bin.

Truth Bullet - Aurel Fuchs’ and Momoe Mizuno’s Account
The two claim to have been unable to sleep due to being stuck with each other. For this reason, they both claim it’s impossible for either of them to be the murderer, as they were together the whole night. Additionally, both heard a loud clanging sound during nighttime.

Truth Bullet - Bloodied scissors
A pair of scissors with blood on them. Found near the docks.

Truth Bullet - Shower
One of the shower stalls had been left locked from the inside, with shiny shards and torn pink fabric on the floor. The shower was still running without anyone inside.

Character memory

The only thing your characters remember was being accepted into Hope's Peak, but before even your first class, your memories got hazy and you can't recall a thing. The next thing you knew, you were here with a slew of strangers. The bear told you they were your classmates, and that your memories of the time you spent together are gone.

Monokuma's Rules

Rule #1: Leaving the campground is strictly prohibited. Those who do so will be punished.
Rule #2: “Nighttime” is from 10pm to 7am. You will not be required to be anywhere during this time, but if you’re going to sleep, you must do so within the residential cabins.
Rule #3: You are free to explore the camp however you wish. However, any locked buildings are not to be broken into, excluding residential cabins.
Rule #4: The destruction of cameras or monitors is prohibited, and violence against camp counselor Monokuma is not allowed. Those who do either will be punished.
Rule #5: In order to leave, a student must kill another and get away with it. This will make them “blackened”.
Rule #6: A class trial will be held after a murder, after a brief investigation period. Participation is mandatory.
Rule #7: If the other students successfully find out how the “blackened” is and vote for them, the “blackened” alone will be executed. However, if the remaining students vote for the wrong person, everyone besides the “blackened” will the executed, and the “blackened” will be allowed to leave.
Rule #8: Accomplices are not considered “blackened”. They will be executed with the other students if the “blackened” is not discovered, and will not be executed with the “blackened” if they are discovered.
Rule #9: Rules may be added or altered by Monokuma as need be.

Danganronpa Alternate (Reboot, in need of new players)

EDIT: We're all filled up! Thank you everyone for joining along!

You wake up, confused and unsure of your surroundings. Perhaps in a chair of an abandoned room, or on the cold hard ground. None of this is familiar- and definitely isn’t where you were supposed to be. Last you checked, you were supposed supposed to be a new student at Hope’s Peak Academy, the most prestigious school in Japan—perhaps in the entire world. And yet, now you’re here…

“Upupupupu! It’s time for another killing game! Can you feel it!? The blood pumping through your veins from this heart-pounding excitement!? I can’t possibly wait any longer!”

Welcome to the reboot of Danganronpa Alternate: Apologies to Hope, a DR roleplay! Thanks to all who are reading! Now, before we begin, I’ll clarify that you don’t necessarily need a running knowledge on the series lore in order to participate. It’s more or less standalone, though the plot line, specifically the general plot twist, will relate to the series as a whole, so it may be more interesting for fans of the series. Additionally, this is a reboot of an RP that recently died, and thus some of the players from that one are carrying over, but we're in need of more players, so don't be shy!

To explain it really quickly for those who aren’t fans, basically Danganronpa is a series where high school students from Hope’s Peak Academy- who are recognized as being the best at what they do (ie Super High School Level (or just SHSL) Swimmer, SHSL Photographer, SHSL Gambler, etc- the concepts are pretty limitless)- are trapped by a mysterious monochrome bear, Monokuma! And if anybody wants to leave, they will be allowed to- if they can successfully get away with murdering another student.

If you want any more explanation, just let me know! I don’t know how many people would be interested who don’t already know the deal, hehe.

So here’s some important information/rules (Please read!):
1. Every person must be dedicated to posting at least once every two weeks. I know life happens sometimes, but under normal circumstances, you should be able to post that often. If you can not post at least once every two weeks, please do not apply.
2. One of you guys will be our mastermind! Whoever it is I’ll be letting you know, and we can talk out backstory privately (Note: I won’t be making you mastermind if you don’t want to be!)
3. There’s a two character limit, though I may raise that if there’s not a lot of interest. [EDIT: More than two now allowed]
4. You’re able to reserve a talent while you work on your character, if you want, so just let me know!
5. As GM, I have the right to approve or deny characters and certain events (i.e. anything super large scale, like how a murder does down), and my rule is law. However, I’m not a super power tripping GM, mostly I just say this in the case that I have to reject something but I can’t say why due to the fact that it relates to someone else’s character or it has something to do with the overall plot that I can’t reveal—but I’m not going to reject something without reason, and I will tell you that reason whenever possible.
6. There will be a Discord server for the group, and while you won’t be required to join, it’ll be more fun and it’ll keep everyone accountable.
7. I’m not really one to cramp people’s styles, but as a general rule the casts of DR games had mostly Japanese characters and an equal (or about equal) gender distribution, and while I’m not gonna force that, it is more in line with the canon DR installments.
8. If, you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! I’d be happy to answer.

Note to returning players

Most have let me know who they’re intending to keep or not, though I’m not fully certain on everyone’s stances. I assumed addamas was keeping Snow, and that Lana was going to make a new character. Additionally, as you’ll probably note from below, Aime is keeping Hibiki but not Kara.
