Hm… What if I…?

"Sir, I have a question." An assistant asks a hard working scientist as he try to scribble down his thoughts.

"Huh? What is it?" The scientist replies, a bit annoyed he wasn't able to finish his papers.

This better be worth my time…

"How exactly are we going to maintain the two subjects' personas?"

As the scientist is asked the question, he flips back through his notebook, landing on the page with the two subjects.

"Well, I might not be a neurological scientist, but I can still give you an answer. The job is rather simple. After doing some research, I found out the way Junko Enoshima had Yasuke Matsuda lock her memories."

"Following his notes, I have recreated the machine he used back in the process. I will also use his field notes for ways to make the two subjects believe their new personas. Over time, the two should develop their new traits of being pro- Hope and pro-Despair that Makoto Naegi and Junko Enoshima each respectively had. "

"Although, they aren't going to be the only ones we need for this experiment. If we are too try and recreate these two figures, we must put them in a similar social condition Naegi and Junko were in, being surrounded by fellow figures of talent. "

"Who these people are to be though, I have yet to decide… Bring me the list. I will look over our candidates once more."

The assistant stared at him with marveling eyes, rather fascinated by the topic. "Y-Yes sir! Right away sir!" The assistant then left the scientist's presence, only to return with a stack of files.

"Here you are sir." The assistant then hands them over to him.

"Thank you… You may leave now." He says, as he flips open the top file.

The assistant then nods their head and shuts the door as they leave the room.

So… Who to use this time around?

Author's Postscript:

Hello there everyone! It is your author of one half of this story here! Hahaha... Theatrics aside, its Rev here. I hope you all are having a nice day. This story, as you know from the title, Wiping the Minds of Despair, an SYOC that my pal Shadowclanwarrior and I are writing. Though this isn't just any SYOC... This is an SYOC split into two halves! That is right, this story is only one have of the story! The other half is called Wiping the Minds of Hope over on Shadow's account. It would be great if you go check her out, as she is a great writer and would love to see you all.

Now let's get down to the nitty-gritty. As the scientist indicated, they are trying to recreate both Junko Enoshima and Makoto Naegi. My side of the story will be focusing on the recreation of Junko and all the others who re trapped here as experiments. Overall, this is like the Pokemon games where events are similar, but they are still two different story lines.

I know what you are thinking, you are thinking "Oh, so its just going to be the same characters on both sides?". Well then, if you were, then you are sorrily mistaken. The casts of these two stories are different. That brings me to my next point of OCs.

When crafting your character, keep these in mind. Submit them to whichever side of the Hope/Despair spectrum they land on. If they are leaning more towards Hope, send them to Shadow. If they are leaning more towards Despair, send them to me.

Here are the rules of the OCs though:

Please no canon talents. No ?'s either. We are trying to diverse here.

You can submit up to 3 OCs.

Those are the only rules. Pretty easy to remember, right? Well, just think about what I said. The application form will be o my profile page, along with the link to Shadow's side of the story.

Shadow and I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful OCs!
