So the US version of Super Danganronpa 2 will be coming out next week, and after some time now I sort of wanted to put this idea out there. In simple terms, a Dangan Ronpa RP. If you’re not familiar with the game series, read on to get a brief idea. Quick warning though, as there is a theme of violence and death, so some view discretion is advised.

Link to the first game's trailer.

And link to the parody trailer if you get tired of Monokuma's dubbed voice.

Dangan Ronpa is a murder mystery game revolving around 15-16 students trapped in a closed environment separated from the rest of the world. The area they are locked within is unescapable, and the only way out is to commit a successful murder. In the first game they were all trapped inside the private institution, Hope’s Peak Academy, a school which accepts only the finest students each with unique skills. All the students attending had titles complimenting their abilities, some examples being: High School Level (Ultimate for the dubbed) Scion, Baseball Player, Programmer, Otaku, Gambler, and Luck. As you can see, there’s a wide variety.

Though, the students aren’t the only stars of the game; the one pulling the strings made his presence known in the guise of a black and white teddy-bear named Monokuma. He takes the role of headmaster of Hope’s Peak, greeting the students on their first day and breaking the news to them, as well as game master when it comes to enforcing rules for their situation and monitoring all the events at the school.

Since this is more an interest blog, I’ll keep the explanation to a minimum. For our purposes, Beacon will become our Hope’s Peak Academy, in name and structure of part of the school (as we haven’t been given the grand tour of Beacon yet). Certain areas will be locked off completely or just until a certain point (normally after each class trial). Everywhere there’ll be security cameras in plain sight to monitor all the events at the school, as well as PA system across the campus all run by the mastermind.

Now, as it is a murder mystery and characters will be killed, this RP is strictly AU and does not have any effect on your character’s status at all if they die. Because of this as well, I advise everyone to use more than one OC if you want to be involved; so when it comes to the students, we can have 7-8 people using 2 characters each or 5 people using 3.

I know I still have a lot to explain especially when it comes to the whole investigation and class trial scenes, but don’t worry I’m working hard figuring out how that will go. And to answer a few questions in advance: OCs will not be able to use Aura/Semblances, their weapons will be confiscated, and to stick with a common point in the DR games certain memories will be taken away.

Also, for the sake of keeping me from doing all the work, I just ask that if you are interested and plan on playing villain, try to come up with a basic method of action at least, that way it can be discussed further and improved upon by everyone involved. And make sure to come up with some exciting executions, fitting your villain in some way.

As this is only an interest blog you don’t have to sign up with your characters below. Expect a second blog in the near future though with more explanations and such whether you like it or not.
