Hopes Peak Academy.

Once the most prestigious school in the country, now but a shell of its former self.

Ultimate Despair tainted the school, destroying any hope it had once created.

The head master, Jin Kirigiri, convinced the 78th class to remain in the school and live out their lives in there.

However, one student known as Junko Enoshima executed the head master and began a mutual killing game for the entertainment of the world.

Of course, you already know all of this, and you know that six students overcame her despair and escaped with their lives.

What you don't know is that she got the idea for the killing game from me.

While I am no member of Ultimate Despair, I have been the cause of countless serious, despair inducing events across the globe.

The Future Foundation did its best to protect the remaining students from Hopes Peak Academy, attempting to save them from the despair outside.

Those students are gone.

Do not fret over this news, as I have given you a way of finding them, potentially saving them from despair.

Along with this message, you should soon receive an encrypted message detailing how to find the hopeful students.

Of course, just giving them to you would be much too boring, so I've made it more 'interesting'.

One killing game was never enough.

Best of luck. don't get there too late.

(Please note that everything below here is irrelevant as I've decided upon the cast.)

Hi.

I'm Robo. I'm the author of this here terrible story.

This story is set just after the survivors of DR1 join the future foundation, so yeah. That's a thing.

Anyway, SYOC is a thing. I have nothing better to do with my time, so I thought i'd give one a go (apologies in advance)

A few things to note.

1) No Mary/Gary Sues. They suck.

2) No Canon Talents (I will allow the SHSL Luckster, but nothing else.)

3) Please don't just make up a character on the spot. I want characters that have had some thought put into their story and personality, not some character with a half-assed story and something stupid for their personality.

4) If your character dies, don't complain about it please. I understand that some people put a lot of work into characters and hate to see them get killed off, but at least half of them have gotta die eventually, so yeah.

5) Students from all countries are accepted, not just Japanese ones. Feel free to get creative with your names, country of origin, and accents.

6) This is not first come fist serve. I'll be accepting the ones I consider to be the best, not the first ones to pop up (though if the first ones are the best, it would make my job a lot easier)

EDIT - 7) Please send all apps via PM. I'll almost certainly ignore any apps sent in via review. (Since i'm making this edit two days after releasing the story, i'll be reading through any apps sent in via review before this edit. *13/10/2016*)

Well, now that's been said, lets get on to the SYOC form.


Name - (The characters name. In Western order *Given Name, Surname*.)

Age - (15-18. Any older or younger will be rejected.)

Birth Gender - (What gender was the character born?)

Gender Identity - (What gender does your character identify as? Please don't say Attack Helicopter.)

SHSL - (Just make up a talent. If I think it's too absurd, i'll probably reject it.)

Height - (Please put this in Feet and Inches. *Wow, what a loser, only using Imperial*)

Weight - (Please put this in Stone and Pounds. *I know right? What a total loser*)

Appearance - (Please try to be as descriptive as possible. If you have an image of them, feel free to link me to it. If you do link an image, please still give a description.)

Clothing - (Same as what I said about Appearance, but with clothes instead.)

Personality - (Please don't write an essay on this. One or two paragraphs describing how the character acts, reacts, and thinks is fine.)

Backstory - (While I would like something in-depth, please don't write too much. This story takes place between DR1 and DR2, so it would be appreciated if you write something about their lives during that.)

Family - (What? It might make a nice motive.)

Likes - (Three things the character enjoys.)

Dislikes - (Three things the character doesn't enjoy.)

Fear / Weakness - (I expect every character to have at least one of these. Please don't write an essay on it though.)

Speech Example - (This is so that i can get an idea of the character's accent, lisp, etc.)

Carrying Themselves - (How does your character carry themselves? Do they slouch? Walk with a limp? Stand tall and proud? Tell me.)

Secret - (The character's biggest secret. Again, it might make a nice motive.)

Investigation - (How do they act in Investigations. Do they actively search for clues? Do they provide moral support? Tell me.)

Trial - (How do they act in Trials. Do they tend to accuse others? Do they try to be UTR? Tell me.)

Role - (Would this character be a killer, a victim, or a survivor? Please note I have the final say on this.)

Execution - (You don't need to write out the entire thing, just give me an idea of what it would be like.)

Other - (If you have something about the character that doesn't fit into the other sections, write it here.)


Applications are CLOSED.

I have decided upon my cast and i'm currently planning out the deaths, relationships, and development of each one.

While I cannot guarantee it will be ready soon, I can guarantee that it'll probably be disappointing.

So yeah.

Alrighty.

Sincerely,

Robo, the SHSL Author of this story

...and the SHSL Procrastinator

...I'm not lying 'bout that procrastination thing. I was supposed to upload this prologue about a week ago.
