"Well, I'll be damned. This place. Is big."

I don't know how me, of all people, got into this wonder of a school. Hope's Peak Academy. They say if you attend this school and graduate, you'll be set for life.

"Hopefully that means I'll be a walking babe magnet. If that happens, I truly will be okay in life." I grinned. However, my smile faded as I looked up at the tall building. Somehow, it was discouraging. Without thinking I bit my hand, something to calm my nervous thoughts. I gulped.

"School, huh? What's the point of it? Japanese: We speak it. History: They're dead. Math: We have calculators. Science: We have YouTube videos." I chuckled at my own joke and looked at my watch. I was already a minute late.

"Shit. Oh well, you know what they say. Time flies when you're staring at a giant building. Also when you throw a clock."

I straightened the Hope's Peak Academy uniform I was wearing underneath my blue and yellow Hawaiian shirt and rushed through the menacing black iron gate and doors. As I walked into the building, I started to feel… drowsy. My stomach felt funny, and my head started to throb. That's when everything went black.

"Mm." My body hurt, and not in the good way, like getting done with a workout or having a baby kind of hurt. Not that I would know what either of those felt like, but you know. This kind of hurt was like waking up with a hangover or getting shot in the head. I wouldn't know what those would feel like either.

"This… is not my bed." I opened my eyes to find myself sitting on the a hard, grey, concrete floor. The wall I was leaning on was cold and metal. It appears that I am in some sort of hallway with a dome like ceiling.

"This… is not Hope's Peak Academy." I brushed my black hair out of my eyes and attempted to stand up, using the wall to steady myself. Success. Still a little wobbly from the nausea and headache, I leaned against the metal wa-

"This… is not a wall…?" It's a big, round, metal door. There was a small screen next to it on the left and hanging above it was…

"Wha- Is that a gun?!" The barrel of a gun was pointing towards the center of the door, at the ready. This place did not seems very family friendly. I pressed myself against the concrete wall, and bit my hand. The door did not seeming very welcoming. Suddenly, a sharp noise cut through the silence of the hall.

"Ding dong, bing bong." The sound came from a monitor on the wall opposite of me. For a second nothing but static filled the screen. Then, the silhouette of a...teddy bear?...appeared through the static.

"Ahem. Attention survi-, I mean, students of Hope's Peak Academy. Please report to the main common area as soon as possible."

"Main common area? Wh-what is-"

"And if you are wondering where such a place is, please refer to the map within your student handbook." The monitor turned off.

A sudden buzz came from my back pocket. I pulled out a small tablet like device that was about the size of a postcard. When I tapped the screen, my name appeared.

Matsuda Magohachi

There were several buttons labeled with various things, but the ones labeled Map, Profiles and Report Card caught my eye. First I clicked on Report Card...which was empty. Next I clicked on Profiles. There was one person listed, which was me. I clicked on my nameanyway, just to see what it had to say.

Name: Matsuda Yuki Magohachi

SHSL: Comedian

Gender: Male

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Hazel

Weight: 180 lbs

Height: 5' 8"

D.O.B: Nov. 16

It got everything right, down to the last pound. With a shaky hand, I pressed the Maps button. It showed a bird eye's view of an entire floor plan. This place was huge! To the left of the map was a scroll bar, which flipped through the floor levels. There were ten in all, including the one I was on, but when I tried to flip to another, the words Floor not available would appear. To the right side of the map was a key. The red dots on the map represented the other students, and the blue dots were in each room. If you tapped on the blue dots, information about the room would appear. Quickly, I located the main common area, and found it was all the way on the other side of the floor. According to the map scale, the whole floor is five miles long. This will be quite the workout.

I spotted a red dot that was not too far from me, so I guess I'll go in that direction. I can check out the other rooms and maybe say hello…

Hello world of Fanfiction, specifically the Games section, specifically the Dangan Ronpa Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei section. I have decided to write an SYOC story! I know so original, but it seemed like fun, so why not give it a shot! I will be collaborating with a close friend of mine, Mathadias. The main character is his, I'm just the one writing the story down, and stuff. He'll help me plan so… Ahem, anyway! This story will have a total of 24 characters, 11 guys and 10 girls (2 spots already reserved for the chicks). I hope you liked the shortish introduction, I did my best to sort of give enough away without giving away too much. As you can tell from the title, this story will take place in a bunker, underground. I CAN'T tell anyone why yet. You will find out as the story progresses. Now. Without further ado, here are the rules and character sheet.

Rules:

No Mary or Gary Sues

I will only accept through PM. It's easier to keep your character's secrets.

No SHSL ?/Hope/Despair I'll accept good luck and bad luck if I like them.

I would unique and fresh characters, but I will accept recycled characters if the story they were in died early on. (Please tell me if they are re-used)

I would like the characters to be from Japan unless they have a valid reason to be from another place.
