DANGANRONPA: Hope Lies in Despair (SYOC SUBMISSIONS CLOSED)

by HeroOfTheEmblem

Sixteen Ultimates find themselves trapped within the walls of a strange academy with the dastardly Monokuma. They're forced to stay in these walls for the rest of their life. However, there is one exception: murder a fellow classmate and you'll be freed. Who will survive and who will submit to despair in this world of kill or be killed?

1. SYOC SUBMISSIONS

Heyo, everyone! I had a bit of a feeling that I introduced the first chapter of Hope Lies in Despair in a way that I'd have to end up introducing every character in a really awkward way that I couldn't find any way to, well, not make it awkward for the lack of a better term. Because of that, I'm straying the story over from scratch. But why would you need to know about that? Because this new version of the story will be a Submit Your Own Character story! Woo hoo!

If you would like to submit a character for this new revision of Hope Lies in Despair, what you can do is use the template below. Fill in all the information needed and send it all to me in a private message with the subject line "HLID SYOC". I will be accepting submissions until midnight of February 1st, so feel free to work on your submission for as long as you need! You may even submit up to three different characters if you want! Any personality works! The more variety, the better. (It's okay to have a few nice characters, but it's also cool to see a few jerks thrown in there for variety's sake, ha ha)

There will be 16 characters in the story total, two of them from me. There will be 8 boys and 8 girls. 14 of the submissions will be accepted into the despairing tale, so make sure your submission is one of them! Good luck to everyone!
