Yeah, I'll be busy mainly Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with classes... but even then I may be busy on Friday, Saturday, and Sundays... depends on college life.
Accepted! (It's fine if you haven't caught up with the full series, this role play isn't going to adhere to canon much). Arata is character number 10.I've only watched an LP of the first game, and just started playing the second, but let's do this anyway!
Name: Arata Ichirou
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Talent: SHSL Poet
Appearance: Somewhat tall, standing at 5"11, with soft, light-brown skin, and gentle black hair that is swept back, which narrows into one big spike on the back of his head, accompanied by two strands of braided black hair,on both sides of his head, that reach down to his jaw. He has deep black eyes. He usually wears a long, white trench coat, with the top half buttoned, to cover his torso. Underneath this lies a thin, black, longsleeve shirt. He wears light blue denim jeans, with white high-tops.
Personality: Arata is quite an easy-going individual. He likes to enjoy the little things in life, and often doesn't bother himself with things that make him stressed, or unhappy. This makes him quite friendly, and a nice conversationalist. He can be very dramatic in his everyday life, and often uses flowery language outside of his poems, even in normal conversation. Because of this, people often find him to be quite weird. He likes to gather inspiration for his poems from the world around him, meaning he often spends a large amount of time outside, alone, and one with nature. (Drinking game - take a shot every time you spot the word 'often'.)
Bio: Arata was raised in quite a rough area, sprawling with all sorts of crime and illegal activity. He witnessed the repeated exploitation of those around him, but hated the fact that he himself could do nothing about it. After all, he was only a boy. This meant that he was often quite depressed, much to the dismay of his friends and family. One day, at school, the teacher was promoting a poem competition with other schools in the neighboring area, and got all the students in class to write something to submit. Filled with all sorts of different emotions at the time, Arata released everything - on the paper, that is. All that regret, sorrow, and frustration he had been bottling up inside ... just, came out. He had never felt so relieved of a burden before. Arata went on to win the competition, and went on to win many more, eventually placing 3rd at the International Poetry Competition. He was known for leaving very strong political messages embedded in his poems, despite being so young. He began to gain more and more fame as time passed, garnering the attention of a certain school...
Other: He is a big fan of theatre, and enjoys reading plays every now and then. He dislikes violence due to his upbringing.
Boy do we have a lot of J names. Alright, maybe it's not as many as I thought. It's only three…it's not anywhere near V3 levels of repetitive (absolutely nothing against V3, but seriously, how many K names does one need? Six, apparently. Just over 1/3 of the roster). Obviously that's fine though, just kind of funny to me.Name: Joseph Mayne
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Talent: SHSL Actor
Appearance: Short messy blonde hair styled with a low fade. Sports a red hand over his forehead which covers a little scar. Wears an amber colored t-shirt along with white cargo shorts. Also wears light brown sandals. His blue eyes are covered by the sunglasses he usually has on. Joseph is also 5’9”. Though his body may look like any average teen, he is quite athletic.
Personality: Most of the time, Joseph is seen to be rather laid back. Though expressive at times, his attitude can quickly change. However, he gets a bit anxious when things get hectic and can lose his cool. He tries too get along with everyone, even those he dislikes. If Joseph dislikes something to a certain degree, he may or may not state his concerns. But he’s also quite gullible at times and is quick to follow those who seem to know what they’re doing.
Bio: The scar on his head was due to an ‘accident’ when he was a child. His family was actually not that stable financially. From a young age, Joseph used acting as a way to get what he wanted. Stealing, lying, anything to make money. It’s how he got into the acting business. The first audition he ever took part of was so bad that it over a year before he took another audition. He spent that time learning from his mistakes and analyzing the critiques he received. After a few more tries and honing of his skills, Joseph finally got a part. Ever since, Joseph has gotten every part he’s auditioned for. He has had important roles in shows and movies. He received critical acclaim for his brilliant performance in a recent movie, which caught the attention of Hope’s Peak. A favorite quote of his is, “Fake it till you make it.”
Other: I finished all of Danganronpa btw... it was amazing!

The role play itself will likely be up sometime on Friday (September 7th). Keep an eye out for that.
I'm going to second this. I wheezed louder than I'd like to admit at "orange crayon". I've really got to step up my own nickname game.Btw, Paeon, love the nicknames. I've never laughed out loud at a roleplay before now.
I've never watched Love Live, so that's entirely coincidental (but pretty funny) if that's actually true. Both of my characters were just the result of me using a random generator and crossing my fingers (bar for Ryuu's last name, which was chosen because it meant "orange/tangerine", which, judging by nicknames, other people have caught on to).Also, @Riverrunner, I just realized Honoka's name is just Love Live characters mashed together lmao

Also, I second not dying lol
New @Paeon Kanetsu I don't want to be that guy, but your posts need to be in past tense only.
As a side note, Paeon, I'd greatly appreciate if you write all of your posts in past tense. I'd hate for this to be shut down over something like that.
Alright, folks.
The game's blog is up. It'll probably be used (in addition to being the student handbook) for hosting maps, as well as the descriptions for the investigation section of the game.
I know it doesn't look super nice right now (hell, it doesn't even have an avatar yet), but I'll get to that when I have the time to.
As a closing note, I request that none of your characters comment on the character bios currently in the student handbook, because I'd like to take a bit of a poll OOC:
Is it fine to leave the bios as they are and allow everyone to have in-character access to that information, or should they be heavily simplified to just listing a student's name, age, gender, talent, and pieces of their bio as opposed to the whole thing (in a more realistic depiction of what HPA would have access to at registration)?
Once again, sorry for the blog's dumpster fire state of of now. It should look a bit better in the future, but as is it took me a while to insert all of the links (which I had to do 2-4 times each because tumblr absolutely loves to not cooperate).
Yep! But only when it becomes relevant (same with adding map floors as the game progresses, etc).You know, when we get to the actual trials, we'll need a Monokuma file.
At that point, a new part of the blog would be added right?
I agree. I'll fix the bios when I get the time to. For now, don't have your characters react to any information in the student bios.I absolutely love this idea, I’m all for it. It kinda feels more interactive this way, like we are actually pulling up the monopad
Also, I think simplified information would work best. Having a dislike and like could be good as well, to be more accurate
Sure, unless you want me to just pick it out of your character's bios. If you do, please send them via pm. It's much easier to sort through things that way.So I guess we should send you likes and dislikes for our characters?
…oops.Love it! It will be so much easier than trying to refer back to different pages here for information.
Quickly clarification just to make sure it was intentional and not a clerical error;
Nighttime is between 0700 and 2200? So nighttime is from 7am to 10pm? O.o
...Isn't that backwards? Or is that just another absurdity of this chaotic Danganropa world? So they are only allowed to freely explore at actual nighttime, 10pm til 7am?
