EDIT: We're all filled up! Thank you everyone for joining along! [i][center]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!”[/center][/i] Welcome to the reboot of [i]Danganronpa Alternate: Apologies to Hope[/i], 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. [hider=Character Sheet] Name: Talent: Gender: Appearance: Personality: Backstory (as much as you'd like to share with the others): Any other information you'd like to share: [/hider] [hider=Info to PM me] Backstory you don't want others to know: What would drive your character to murder? How do you feel about being the mastermind? What would drive your character to start this killing game? Is there anything else you’d like to share? [/hider] [hider=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.[/hider] Reserved Talents: Super High School Level Type A Student (Me!)
