The new Hope's Peak would not fall. It stood beautifully, not menacingly like it's predecessor. The name was the same, but it was so different.

Talent was no longer an obligation, money wasn't necessarily either. If you filled out the form, had the right grades, passed the entrance exam, and paid the fairly average tuition, odds were you got accepted. The facility is large enough to hold the vast amounts that apply in most cases. And the school was now open to the world.

There aren't any "Super High School Level" or "Ultimate" titles. Though, on your application you can list your talents, and you may be labeled as so. But no one's ever considered the best and there's more than one of everything, because that's how the world is.

A talented musician can be talented for any type of music, so why would there have to be just one? The same logic can be applied to almost anything.

You like to write? What genre?

You can build? What sort of things?

You cook? What style?

Any talent can be divided down into a subcategory at some point. And while every once in a while there is one of those "jack of all trades" that can play any musical instrument, or write any genre, or build anything they set their mind to, or cook any cuisine they choose, and sometimes their are kids with many talents, and others that don't quite have any, but would love to learn some.

Talent is partially something you're born with. But you also have to learn to be able to unlock it. What is a musician if they never learned notes? A writer that never learned how to hold a pencil? A builder that cannot identify their materials? A cook that never knew how to develop their taste?

The new Hope's Peak excepts everyone. And for the most part, everyone excepts the new Hope's Peak. There will always be people that disagree with something, it's how people work.

Similar to how yin cannot work without yang, love cannot work without hate, and hope cannot work without despair. It is hard to have everyone like something without a group that dislikes it. It makes the aura of that thing feel off, threatening in a way.

Knowing this law of the world better than most, the former Warriors of Hope take a collective deep breath when they step up to the entrance for their first year of high school at such a prestigious place.

Blue, pink, red, brown, but an absence of green. Quite literally up in space somewhere, they talk with her every once in a while, but there's always been a distance kept. Literally and figuratively.

"I can't believe we were able to keep it from Touko and Komaru! I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when we walk into one of their classes!" Masaru Daimon's bright orangey-red hair is still splattered around his head messily under his headphones (that miraculously haven't broken over all the years) but it moves gently with the calm wind that blows past. "It was nice of the headmaster to do that for us."

"I just feel bad for making Nagito deal with us again." Kotoko comments. Her pastel locks are still held back in tight pigtails, but she switched her old headband for a simple ribbon long ago. "Then again, we'll have to deal with him too."

"I wanna meet the guy who teaches animal science. Everyone else says he's really weird, but in a kinda cool way." Jataro's personality has since mellowed from his childhood years, but he still finds amusement in some of the stranger things. He doesn't wear his mask anymore (though it is still sitting in his room somewhere), and quite frequently voices his discomfort of the attention he receives from admirers.

"Just don't burn down the most prestigious and powerful school in the world on your first day." Nagisa says, half joking, half completely serious. Through the year's he's grown more relaxed, but he does still consider himself the babysitter of the group. He never quite found a way to get those two pieces of hair to stick down on his head, so he just doesn't bother with them.

They all wore the non-mandatory Hope's Peak uniform. Like most first-years on the first day, since it's the entrance ceremony. Though they did each have a few alterations.

Masaru of course keeps his headphones on, and doesn't wear the brown blazer that his uniform came with. Kotoko switched the school's ribbon tie for one of her own favorite bows, and wears a light pink sweater instead of her blazer with knee high socks to match. Jataro wears a hoodie that's the same color as his blazer would be, finding comfort in the softer material and easy access to something that can somewhat cover his face. Nagisa, though wearing all of the traditional uniform, also wears a plaid blue vest underneath his blazer.

"And we can just hope that no one messes with us." Kotoko adds on at the end.

Their past gave them quite the reputation, up along the ranks with the Remnants of Despair. But if they can redeem themselves through being teachers or other strong leaders, maybe the Warriors of Hope can redeem themselves through being students.

Anything is possible at this new school.

Because the new Hope's Peak will not fall. And almost everyone in the world is making sure of it.

This story is how I think the Hope's Peak in which Naegi is the headmaster and founder would run. And I do really think that the Warriors would enroll, why wouldn't they?

Anyways, this is an SYOC, so I have to set the rules, give the form, blah, blah, blah, this is a pretty common type of story for Danganronpa (which I don't own or have any rights to)

Rules

1. Please try your best to be original with your characters! There are certain tropes that have become very common in Danganronpa OCs, and they get annoying after awhile.

2. Yes, you are allowed to use talents from the series, have multiple talents (though don't go crazy and make your character all-powerful), or give your character no talent at all.

3. I will not accept characters that are relatives of cannon characters.

4. There will be no killing game in this story, so do not give me a killing machine as a character unless there is actual reason for it.

5. PM only please, submissions sent by review will most likely be ignored

6. The amount you can send in is unlimited, though if you send more than one "main" only one with be chosen if any

7. Know that I have the right to make small changes to a character to help them fit the story, however I will run these changes by a character's creator to see if they are completely against it

There will be three "main" character slots open, these characters will be more prominent in the story and I will probably be a bit more picky with them because of this.

You also have the opportunity to send in "side" characters. These characters will not be as prominent, and rarely seen outside of the school environment. However I do need them and will take anywhere from 8-12 of them depending on the number and quality of submissions I am sent.

With all this said, here is the form.
