The aquarium is dead silent as a woman tiptoes into the hallway. She carefully steps over broken chairs and bloodstains, continuing cautiously into a large room. The floors are covered with shattered glass from the huge fish tank overhead, and the water that had once been contained in the tank has long since drained away. The room pitch black, illuminated solely by the woman's flashlight.

She steps carefully into the room, being careful not to cut herself on the glass, and stops, staring at the overturned tables and broken chairs at the center of the room.

"What happened to all the students...? The poor teenagers trapped in here?" She whispers quietly. She takes another step forward and stops, hearing paper crinkle under her shoe. She picks the papers up carefully, handling them as if she's trying not to make noise. The papers are stained with water, most of it illegible, but she can make out a few words.

"Welcome... To... Hope's Peak... Aquarium."

Hello all! I am making a new SYOC, set in an aquarium! I know its a strange setting, but I want to challenge myself and my abilities as a writer! Also, just a note, I am aware that the writing in the little prologue isn't the greatest, I was suffering from a major writer's block. Anyway, I hope to have 16 students in all, 8 boys and 8 girls! Below is the form! It will be on my bio as well for easy copy and paste. Please title your PM: Character Name- SHSL- SYOC.

Here are some rules!

1. No Mary/Gary Sues. Obvious, but still.

2. No canon talents! If its already taken in Dangan Ronpa 1 or 2, please don't use it. Overlapping talents with the third game are fine, however.

3. Please, put a bit of effort into your character. They shouldn't look like you threw them together in 5 minutes.

4. Lastly, please don't be angry if your character dies.

Thanks! I can't wait to see all of your OCs!
