From the most beautiful creature in the whole wide world; Aoi.
Somewhere in a house located in Japan
A "ping" sound came out from a red and white handphone and the screen of the phone lights up in the dark room. One single finger swiped across the screen to unlock the phone. There is a message. A message that promises a whole new life for the reader. Black eyes scanned the words on the phone's screen.
As the owner of the eyes stopped at the word "Aoi", gears started turning in his head as a smile slowly formed on his face.
AN:Welcome to Rebirth Point! I should not be writing this as I literally have an examination in a few days time. However, my mind is in a mess with all the studying I did and I took a break to wrote this down. Anyway! Let me explain a little about this story.
This is a whole new story that does not link with any of the Danganronpa series. There is no tragedy and there is no Hope's Peak. There is a whole new "Monokuma" in this story who planned this whole killing game. An invitation is sent to 16 talented high school students (8 males, 8 females) through various means. In this story, it is similar to DR2, where the students were held inside a virtual world. However, it will not be an island this time and the students are the one who willingly accepts to go join in this world for whatever reasons they may have.
For the next chapter, it will be the main introduction of the MC of this story and a slight progression in the main storyline. The real prologue I would say. The MC of this story did come out in this chapter. However, not much was known. I will probably make a similar but more detailed short introduction for each character. This is where the "Before the killing game section" comes in. Depending on the characters I received, I may even introduce some of them in the same chapter, just in different place.
Rules (Please read this before moving on to the form):
1. No Mary Sues or Gary Stus. This is self-explanatory.
2. There is no first come first serve for the submission. I will select the best out of all the applications or the ones I felt will suit the best in this story.
3. I do not accept characters who are found in another SYOC story or those who are in pending. One, it may not fit this story and two, it spoilt any surprise for your character if someone saw it in other stories. Hence, please create a new character for this story.
4. Please do not send your character through the review, I will not accept any character from the review as it will reduce the element of surprise. That will be no fun at all.
5. Talents from any of the Danganronpa series are allowed as they have no link to this story at all. However, please stray away from having the same characterization as the ones in the series who have the same talents. While I accept them, I would prefer to have a whole new talent and characters with new talents will have a higher chance of being accepted. This includes the more common talents found in the other SYOC stories as well.
6. Please be as descriptive as possible. I do not mind it if you wishes to send me multiple messages if you cannot fit your application, in fact, I welcome them wit open arms. Descriptive applications are more likely to be accepted. If the application is obviously something that was put together in a matter of few minutes or without much thoughts at all, it will definitely not be accepted.
7. Please make your character as unique as possible. It helps to differentiate them. However, please do not go over the top without a good reason.
8. The deadline for this has been extened. Please take your time to create your character as I like well thought out characters.
The form can be found on my profile as well.

Edit 1 (20/11) : My apologies,the birthday section from the form seems to got deleted somehow. I have already added that in. In addition, instead of following the time and date of my country, I decided to follow the time and date of this website instead. It will be easier for all of us and cause less confusion. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Edit 2 (25/11): In response to ComplicatedYetSimple's review, the concept will not be "Despair vs Hope". The mastermind this time will have a different motive, which I had already thought of. However, depending on the mastermind I choose from the OCs I receive, I may need to slightly change the motive itself.
Edit 3 (5/12):Deadline has been extended
