A/N

Allo allo and thank you for taking the time to take a gander at my fic. I just recently had this idea (sort of) and just figured I might as well try writing it out. Updates might end up being a bit scattered but I will try my best to ensure the best quality for each chapter. Anyways, here's the prologue and if you like it feel free to favorite, review and submit a character. Thanks~! (\(OwO)/)

Prologue- Solaris Apartment Complex

Acceptance letter grasped tightly in my hand, I found myself staring out the window as the scenery continued to pass by while I endured the rocking of the train. My aunt had been surprised that I had managed to get into one of the four great schools despite it only being Asukawa. Nonetheless, I'm certain I will be able to achieve the best education there nonetheless rather than staying here on the countryside.

After all, becoming a world class pastry chef is my dream. Even with my small town recipes passed down from my family for the past few generations I'm certain there's more in the world to discover about making delicious desserts everyone can enjoy. Popping a cube of green tea yōkan my uncle had prepared for my trip I felt my nerves ease as the train ride progressed. As much as making sweets was enjoyable and a relaxing experience as it was, eating the finished products was far better by a landslide. I could feel a stupid grin forming on face from the simple yet wonderful taste, probably disturbing whoever happened to look my way but I didn't mind at all. Speaking of others, there were quite a lot of people around my age onboard. Or rather, everyone on board was around my age. I suppose it'd make sense since this train only has one end destination and that's Hayasunai.

Hayasunai, a newly created town in the western region of Japan. Although it's fairly recent, as in the last hundred years or so it's the most technologically advanced city in the country to date. Which also explains why the four great schools are considered to be so spectacular. Though it's odd that they're in such close proximity to each other but I suppose it's because they compete with each other before larger scale competitions with the other prefectures. Ah right, Hayasunai has it's own jurisdiction apparently. Or at least, according to the government I suppose.

But enough about that.

The most important part about being able to study in this city is the fabled Solaris Apartment complex. Now, you may wonder what's so great about this place but since it's been established it has had a ninety-nine percent graduation rate with it's tenants and a hundred percent success rate for everyone's careers. People say it's due to the intense guidelines for staying there regarding your grades as well as your talents but others say it's because of some hidden magic on the ground it was built upon. Regardless of the reason, I'm looking forward to being able to live there. Though...

"I'm probably going to have to get a job as soon as I get there..." I let out a heavy sigh, slouching over in my seat. All enthusiasm I had prior was gone with that simple realization. Tuition costs were no laughing matter especially not for Solaris. It might've been cost effective to move into a regular apartment but I didn't want to risk my graduation just because I'd have to get a little job. I'm sorry for being so superstitious but numbers don't lie, am I right?

"Excuse me, miss?"

I looked up to see someone looking down at me, a small smile evident on their face. Oddly enough, the sudden appearance of bright lights in my vision had kept me from determining who I was speaking to. Had we entered a tunnel during my thoughts? I'm not sure but they certainly seemed to be speaking to me... I wonder what they want.

"Hmmm?" I simply hummed a response, internally facepalming a moment after considering how rude that sounded. They didn't seem to mind before flashing a student ID in my face along with their acceptance letter from...

"I was wondering what school you might be attending. The others seem a bit...preoccupied with their own business so I figured I'd try you." They laughed a bit as they said this, gesturing to the other teens who were staring down at their tech phones and watching some videos or playing games. Oh, how much I envy them.

"Oh, I'm attending Asukawa. See?" I showed my own acceptance letter that bore the symbol for the school as if I needed to show signs of approval. "I'm pretty excited to go there. I didn't think I'd actually get in to any of the schools... How about you?" They seemed to be a bit discouraged when I told them what school I had been accepted in. Or perhaps they were overjoyed? The bizarre lighting had yet to fade away so I couldn't quite determine which. Nonetheless, they continued to speak once more.

"Ah, I see! I'll be attending... ...so maybe we'll see each other around often!" Huh? I couldn't quite catch that, where were they attending? Stupid train making the most obnoxious noises at the most inappropriate times. I opened my mouth to ask them if they could repeat which school they had been accepted to but before I could say anything they were already on their way.

...What was the name on their student ID again...?

"Ugh!" Huffing loudly, I thrust my arms into the air before flopping onto my side in the seat. I managed to make an acquaintance and I have no idea just who they are or what school they're attending. Isn't that just wonderful? Maybe I can hope they'll be living in the Solaris complex but...the chances of that could be slimmer than a bikini model.

"Ah, I can see the city!" Someone exclaimed, a girl judging from their voice. Immediately hearing that I vaulted up in my seat and pressed my face against the window. True to the talk of magazines and on the news, Hayasunai certainly looked like a technological town. Large buildings towering over the few trees that remained around the city along with floating vehicles leaving and entering the territory through various places. It's certainly different from what I imagined, both frightening and amazing at the same time.

"Wow..." I gasped, my voice clearly expressing my amazement.

I had thought...this would be the start of an amazing life.

Soon enough...that image quickly faded away...

Now...there is nothing but nightmares...

~Character Form Below (Can also be found on my profile for convenience)~

Note; As this will be occurring in Japan I would like the OCs be limited to such but I am willing to accept at least two foreign transfers. Preferably one of each gender but I'm pretty lenient on that.

Name: (Feel free to include nicknames and/or aliases)

Age: (Age Range is 15~18, higher ages require students to have been held back. Younger ages are not permitted, thank you for understanding)

Gender: (All genders are approved. Also state here if your character is desiring to hide their gender for any given reason and provide the reason as well.)

Height:

Weight:

Appearance: (Include plenty of details here including the outfit they will be wearing during the story as well as obvious things such as hair color, eye color, any accessories etc. etc. If they carry any small things like a cellphone for example note that here as well.)

Personality: (Definitely require details here. Try to be as unique and creative here without getting too wild. A diverse group is essential to making each character interesting compared to each other. Also include speech here as in how they speak to others as well as how they speak about themselves. If your character speaks in the third person include that here.)

Quirks: (Do they have any interesting things about them? For example- they are constantly fidgeting and frequently touching their face or head for no apparent reason.)

History: (Your character's life prior to becoming a tenant. Include family as well as prime events in your character's life that have made them who they are today. Especially be certain to include what got them into whatever their talent is- be it a tradition or they simply found it out of thin air or perhaps someone inspired them. Everyone's different.)

Secret(s): (Does your character have any secrets? If no, be sure to explain why. All secrets must come with a reason or I will find one for myself. Try not to do something cliche, it could be as irrelevant or completely stupid to someone else- as long as your character values it as something that needs to be kept secret it's perfect.)

Fears: (I believe this is self-explanatory-ish? Just include why they fear what they fear. Also include how they would react to such a fear.)

Likes:

Dislikes:

Plausible Reasons For Murder: Select either, (A) Kill for the Motive Presented (B) Kill for a Simple Escape (C) A Reason later to be Presented in the Story [Failure to select any of these will result in immediate rejection of the character submission]

Strengths: (There is no minimum of strengths, you can have zero if you'd like. The maximum, however, are at least three. You can make them whatever you like so long as they are within reason to your character's history as well as talent. For example, an heir to a cooking company isn't going to know survival skills for when they're stranded in the wilderness.)

Weakness: (There is no minimum or maximum here but you have to make them equal to or at least one greater than your amount of strengths. This rule does not apply to when you have 0 strengths, look at the following example for such a case. Ex: If you have 0 strengths then you have to have at least 1 weakness. Regarding weaknesses if you have for example, incapable of cooking please include a time when your character attempted to cook and it's result. This is absolutely necessary.)

Roles for Trial and Investigation: Select two of the following (A) Investigator (B) Debater (C) Commentator (D) Pessimist [Note, people who are not investigators are likely to bring up important points that they personally found during investigation. Investigators will have their POV broadcast during investigation time.]

Romance: (Would your character be susceptible to the emotions of being in a relationship during the course of this story? If so, please explain how they would react, their type and their sexuality.)

School They Are Attending/Accepted In: (There are four schools in which your character can belong to. Valiance Elite High School, Silver Wing Eastern Academy, Saint Oracles High School and Asukawa School for Higher Learning. Valiance Elite is where a large portion of society's upper class students study. They aren't necessarily the most gifted but they have the money to overcome that issue as well as large familial assets. Silver Wing are filled with students of any class but is definitely the most competitive of the four schools. They also bear the most awards as well as the longest standing history compared to the others. Saint Oracles, a slightly more religious environment than the rest as well as being far more traditional. They are considered to be the least competitive but far more docile than the others despite it's allegedly strict staff. Finally, Asukawa is the most recently established school, created by it's late headmaster Yoriko Asukawa. While their members are small the amount of talent gathered here is higher than the others due to being more cost effective than the others.)

There are sixteen slots to fill and mastermind will be chosen at random~
