Hey, here I am with my new story. I have been a fan of Dangan Ronpa for some time now and I really wanted to make my own version of it. Hope you enjoy it!


"Hey I'm Conrad Shepherd. I was invited to come to the Hope's Peak Academy. Apparently I was invited because of my social talents. I was described as being the Super Duper High School Level Socialist. It was a weird talent, if you actually would call it a talent in the first place, but I was happy be invited to the prestigious high school. It is said that if you have attended this school, you will certainly have a good job, and be successful in life."

Conrad could be described as a boy of average height and weight. Maybe somewhat lighter than most people. He has blonde hair that reaches to his neck but does show his ears. There is one tuft of hair standing up straight from the top of his head. He has earrings and wears sunglasses. His school uniform consists out of baggy jeans, a not tucked blouse and a tie with his old school's emblem on it.

To tell a bit more about Hope's Peak Academy. It is a popular high-school for teenagers who have a Super Duper High School Talent. Only the top of the talents are invited to this school. The school is located in Europe, and is one of the four existing academies in the world. The other ones being located in Japan, North-America and Australia. This one is located in Germany to be specific. But for now let's go back to Conrad.

"W-where am I?" I said as I looked around me. There was no one to be seen. Apparently I was in an empty classroom, having fallen asleep on a wooden desk. As I further examined the room, I saw that there were large thick metal plates attached to the wall with giant screws. Probably on the place where the windows should be. When I looked up I saw a security camera. At this kind of school you could expect that there were cameras in the classrooms and hallways, in case someone tried to break into the building.

Speaking of it why was I here in the first place? From what I remember I was standing at the gates of the academy, ready to enter. But now suddenly I'm here fast asleep. I stood up and stretched a bit. Sleeping on your desk wasn't very comfortable. I walked towards the door on which I saw a note attached. I read it out loud, not that anyone could hear me.

"Welcome to Hope's Peak Academy,

It's a new semester starting here at Orion Academy! A wonderful new life is here for you bastards in this very school! Please make your way to the school entryway at once!" that's all it said. I looked the clock hanging above the chalkboard in the classroom. 8:15. it was still early. However since the pamphlet said I needed to go to the school entryway now, it would be wise to follow the instructions.

I exited the classroom, entering the hallway. No one else to be seen here. Was I late or the opposite of that? My mind focused on getting to the schools entryway, I started walking. After more than five minutes I finally arrived at the school's entryway. I was surprised when I walked in as there were 14… no 15 more students, as I presumed, gathered in the room.

"You're late." The voice of a tall guy with short blonde hair said. He was wearing a simple school uniform, a white blouse with a tie tucked in his blouse, which in turn was tucked into his baggy trousers. The sleeves were folded up to his elbows, and also didn't seem to go any further because of his muscles.

"Now that everyone is here, shouldn't we all properly introduce ourselves to each other?" an innocent and sweet voice said. It was a girl of slightly below average height with long blonde hair. However the most notable thing was that she was wearing a dark blue nun uniform. And although only a bit of her shoes could be seen, you could see she was wearing Mary Jane shoes. Around her neck was also a silver necklace of a crucifix which sparkled as bright as her sky blue eyes.

"Well then, I'll go first. My name is Violet Dalca. I come from the far away Romania. I was invited to this school because of my title as Super Duper High School Level Archer. Nice to meet you all." the girl introduced. Violet had long, like her name also says, violet hair of which is tied back to a ponytail with a white ribbon on her head. She wears a long sleeved sailor fuku uniform of which the top is ivory and the short skirt is black. She wears black stockings up to her knees and brown shoes. Her ribbon is black. She has a peachy skin and pink eyes. She was wearing an arrow casing, filled with arrows, and a bow on her back.

"I'm next! My name is Silas von Wainright from Germany, and I am the Super Duper High School Level Artist, however I'm also super-duper hungry! I really could use some food right now!" he almost shouted." this boy already seemed weird. His appearance said otherwise though. He had light-brown hair which reached over his ears. He was wearing a white blouse which wasn't tucked into his baggy trousers. He wore a blue jacket and a purple tie with his old school's emblem on it. He wore normal shoes and dark blue trousers. He was of average height and had purple colored eyes. He also had one earring, but that was only notable if you looked good enough.

"Good day. My name is Maria DiSciascio. I was born and raised by the nuns of the Italian church. And because of that I got my invited as Super Duper High School Catholic." the girl said, who earlier suggested on introducing themselves to each other.

"Fine. My name is Éric Fortier. I am from the beautiful France and am invited here as the Super Duper High School Bully. So I better look out if I were you, because if you do anything that I don't trust, I'll snap your neck." the one said who first talked to me in a rather intimidating voice.

"Hehe, well this is awkward." a girl said looking at Maria. "My name is also Maria. Maria Herrero then, I am from Spain. I was invited here as the Super Duper High School Soccer Player. Nice to meet you guys." the tomboyish girl said with a smile. She was wearing a green and white cap, which displayed her school's emblem. She had a dark skin and short spiky black hair, almost making her look like a boy if it weren't for her chest that did show something. She was wearing a white shirt with a green jacket, and blue baggy shorts. She had white stockings and sneakers. I could definitely see she loved sports, mainly because she is a tomboy. However dealing with two Maria's can be difficult, hopefully they won't be together all the time.

"Guess it is my turn now." said the one next to Maria. "I am Emy Spelgraf. I am a Wicca which also happens to be my Super Duper High School Level Talent. I come from The Netherlands… and that's about it." the girls said. She was taller than most of the girls, maybe even the tallest. She had a light skin and red colored eyes. She had long crimson and black hair. You could say black with crimson locks in it, but a lot of them. She wore a tight black top with a red tie. Around her neck was also a necklace showing a pentagram, the symbol of the Wicca. Her outfit displayed a bit of her belly, and she wore tight light-blue jeans with high black boots underneath. Aside from that she had a nose piercing, earrings, a few bracelets and a ring.

"Ah it seems it is finally my turn. My name is Anita Kjellberg, you may have heard of me already. As Super Duper High School Level Fashion Designer, I started many trends, mainly on the fashion area in Europe. I was born in the nice Sweden, where my trends are well known on high schools." the girl bragged. She was wearing much fur. On her head was the women version of the fur hat. She also wore a white ivory fur coat, which also had a fur collar, but did show her straight ended bow displaying her old school's emblem. Underneath her coat she was wearing her school uniform, or so I assumed, and underneath black pants and fur boots. There also was fur on the end of her sleeves. She had a pale but peachy skin, green eyes and long dirty blonde, with some brown locks, hair.

Next to her was standing a guy who introduced himself next. "Hey! I'm Chico Matos! Well, I'm from Portugal… and they call me the Super Duper High School Surfer." he said and added a chuckle afterwards. He was a tall guy with dark skin and amber eyes. He had dark brown hair in dreadlocks hanging against his back. He was wearing the standard black school uniform with high collar and buttons, with white shorts. His jacket was open revealing his Hawaiian blouse. He was wearing sandals.

Somewhere behind Chico was standing a boy much tinier than Chico, even tinier than himself. He was playing on a PlayStation Vita until he looked up because of the silence. "I'm Axel, Super Duper High School Game Designer or something, nice to meet ya." he said and quickly returned to his game. He was wearing a black hoodie with some retro games displayed on it. He also wore baggy pants, and simple shoes. He had his hood on, but you could see his curly brown hair underneath which also covered his eyes. I assumed he was wearing his school uniform underneath his hoodie.

"YO!" another one shouted. "My name is Aaron Kollias. I am the SUPER DUPER HIGH SCHOOL PREP! And of course I am from Greece." he almost screamed. I could see he was the prep as he sounded very loud. He was wearing a green and yellow jock coat with underneath a shirt which displayed his school's logo. He was wearing black trousers underneath. He has a bald shaved head and onyx colored eyes. Very notable was that he was covered with many tattoo's.

"Let's get to business. My name is Jacob Larsen. As I already have analyzed I am the smartest in this room." he looked to a few people in the room. "Thus my title also is Super High School Scientist, I refuse to use the word duper in the title. And I am from Germany, if you have to know." he said. He was about the same size as me. He had messy black hair and pale skin, with some freckles. He was wearing square black glasses with tape on the middle. Further he was wearing a white blouse with a blue tie and the same color trousers with the proper shoes. He also had a large silver-colored watch and a few pens in his chest pocket. He really seemed like the typical nerd, except for the fact that he didn't seem socially awkward.

"Shut up, you nerd." Anita said with a pissed off face.

Then we arrived at possibly the smallest person in this room. "Ow it is my turn. Hello! My name is Rika Bernkastel from Iceland, nano desu." she said with a cute voice. She has long purple/blue hair in a hime cut. Her eyes are fairly droopy and purple. She wears a white short sleeved shirt with a pink bow, a navy-blue skirt, navy suspenders, white socks and brown shoes. She looked to be around 10 years old, but she was the same age as everyone else, which was kinda surprising.

With not many left to go we went to a taller guy. "Good day gals and lads. My name is Pierce Lavigne, world's best magician." he said and bowed. "Hailing from France, I am the Super Duper High School Magician." he said with a grin on his face. He was wearing a white blouse with a blue jacket with a black bow and blue trousers. He wore a magician's hat, however his silver hair covered his left eye, so only his other blue eye could be seen. He had piercings in his ears, one on his chin and one through his eyebrow.

Following her was yet another girl. "Hello nice to meet you. My name is Serena Bellerose and I am from England. I starred in many plays, often as a main character and thus was chosen as the Super Duper High School Actor. She was a redhead and had tied her hair two ponytails, she had a peachy face and red cheeks. Her eyes were sparkling silver. She was wearing a black jacket and a red plaid skirt hammed with black lace. She wears a red neckerchief. She wears high black socks with Mary Jane shoes.

We were reaching the end, the last girl left now introduced herself. "I am Helga Marchen, your tour guide from Denmark. As I said I am the Super Duper High School Guide, so I want to get to learn this school. Nice to meet you all." she said. She was of average height with short straight brown hair. She has purplish eyes, with pointy black glasses and a peach skin. She wears a tight dark blue jacket, with underneath a white blouse and a tie in the same color as her jacket. She also wears a tight skirt in the same color that reaches just over her knees. She wears a skin-colored panty and brown shoes.

Everyone had introduced themselves now, so only I was left now. Like everyone else I should just say my name, title and the land I am from. That would be the easiest thing. I wasn't in the mood right now to say more, I am still confused of what is going on. Well here I go. "Hey, I am Conrad Shepherd. Uhm… I am from England and have the title as Super Duper High School Socialist." I said in the hope that no one would go further on my weird title. Many here had talents they worked hard for, while I just am here. I'm just lucky to have been invited to this prestigious school.

"So does anyone have any idea of what is going on in this place?" Maria, the soccer player, asked. I didn't want to answer, mainly because I don't have anything useful to say right now. Luckily someone else was about to say something already.

"Hmm… It seems like we are trapped. Just look at those metal plates." Chico said pointing to the metal wall of the entryway. They were exactly like the ones he saw in the classroom he was in.

"Yeah. They are in every room. Just like the classroom I woke up in." I said, and saw on the faces of the others that they recognized the situation.

"And there's no other way to escape?" Serena said, as she started to get worried about the situation. Shortly after that Helga approached.

"Before I came here I examined the first floor a bit. It seems like there is no other way to escape from this place, as the ways to the second floor have been blocked, the windows are sealed and some doors are even locked. Just like the big one over there." she said pointing to the giant circular vault door.

"That must be the way out!" Chico commented.

"Yay then I can finally get some food!" Silas shouted even louder. "Unless there is a cafeteria or kitchen around here, then I rather go there."

"Nipaa~" Rika said out of the blue, but like Silas' comment nobody responded.

"Then let's break this door open!" Éric shouted and wanted to punch the door. When suddenly a puff of smoke appeared of the vault-like door, and what appeared after was… what would appear to the students as a black and white teddy bear. I was surprised to see the bear appear out of nowhere, and to make it even weirder it started to speak.

"No you can't get that door open! Nobody's getting that door open anytime soon! Think about it like a bank vault! You're all stuck inside!" the bear told them all, waving his arms in the air. Most people in the room had either shocked or confused faces.

"Who the hell are you!" Éric shouted while holding his fist into his direction.

"Oh, that reminds me, my name is Monokuma! And I'm your Headmaster here at Orion Academy!" he told them simply, before taking a few steps forward, scanning the room to look at all of them.

"I'm glad you all got introduced finally! You bastards took forever to introduce yourselves to each other! I had a wonderful opening ceremony planned in the gymnasium but you all took so long I had to scrap it all!" he shouted at them. "All of my hard work was for nothing…" he said, letting out a sigh.

"However, I'm sure you're all wondering what's happening, right? Well, I'm here to tell you all about what will be happening with your school lives here at Orion Academy! Since you all have some of the greatest talents in this world, you all have a hope like no other!" he told them.

"So...?" the crossed armed Emy asked raising an eyebrow.

"Therefore, in order to protect and preserve the talent you all hold; you will all be living a communal lifestyle within these walls. Forever," he said simply, looking at them all dead on. Boy, would their reactions be great!

"No more outside world! Of course, we have more than enough money to spare, you'll all be with whatever you need or want while you live here! No more outside world to worry about!" Monokuma told them.

Monokuma paced back and forth for a moment. I was kinda shocked to what he had to say, and I wondered if there really wasn't a way to get out of this place. Suddenly Monokuma turned back to look at the students.

"What a dramatic twist of events!" Serena said as she held her hand against her forehead, exaggerating her sentence.

"You expect us to stay in this place? You expect that someone of my caliber, is worthy of staying with these... how do I say this nice? These lower ranking people?" Jacob said while handing out irritated glances to his fellow prisoners.

"Well… in case any of you feel like leaving the school for whatever reason… I could always arrange it, as I am the Headmaster…" Monokuma said, taking a paw to his chin, looking to be deep in thought for a moment.

"Then say it! I am not planning to stay inside of this ugly hellhole! I have better things to do." Anita complained.

"Graduation!" he said abruptly, jumping up slightly, arms in the air. "It's a fantastic rule, the Graduation rule, let me tell you all about it! I know I've told you all that you need to live a nice, safe, orderly life inside our wonderful school hallways, but if someone destroys that order, they and they alone can leave the school!" he said frantically, waving his arms.

"By destroying that order, of course I mean, killing a fellow classmate," he said slowly, letting it all sink in for the students. Monokuma stayed quiet for a moment before finally speaking again. During the moment of silence nobody spoke, we all were quiet and probably shocked to hear what he just had said.

"K-kill someone? D-do we really have to m-m-murder someone to get out of.. of here?" the Catholic Maria spoke.

"Only a student who kills another student may leave. Yes, that's the rule of Graduation! Watching all of the students of Orion Academy, some of the brightest hope, go to such despairful actions… oh, it is all much too much!" Monokuma said with a loud cackle.

"That is about all we have left for our wonderful opening ceremony! But—oh! Before you all leave, there are two last things! First, a gift to you all as new students here at Orion Academy! It is an Electronic Student Identification Card! I call it… the Electronic Student Identification Card! As I hand them out, you should all see that it has your real name displayed on the front of it, as well as our school rules," Monokuma said before speeding through the room, handing each of the sixteen students their cards. I was the last one to get mine.

"Just note that breaking any of the rules is strictly forbidden! You will be punished for doing so!" he told them, before moving his arms behind his back.

"Finally, I would like to give you all a good motive, as I'm sure some of you are very excited to kick off your new school life, and some of you are most definitely excited for Graduation! As such, until a murder occurs, there will be no working locks throughout the school! Of course, the front entrance will be locked, and any door that needs to be locked WILL be locked, but dormitories will remain unlocked at all times! Except for the bathrooms though, you all have to have your private time!" Monokuma said, another laugh escaping his mouth. "Of course, don't think of just hiding in your bathroom forever, you'll starve after all!" he added.

I could hear someone behind me murmur; 'you bastard' but didn't know who it said.

"Anyways, that concludes the Orion Academy opening ceremony! Make sure you take notice of the rules in your Electronic Student Identification Cards, and I can't wait to see you all enjoy this School of Mutual Killing!" Monokuma told them before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

I was in shock. I had to kill someone to graduate? What a terrible game is this, I don't know any of these people, and yet we have to kill each other simply to get out of this building. I wasn't freaking out yet, but certainly was on the edge to do so.

I really have arrived in a school of mutual killing!


That was kinda the introduction. Now you know all the characters and Monokuma gave his speech. Don't worry I will try to go more into the backstory of other characters by interacting with them.
