A/N: Hello everyone! My name is DancingCactuar and while I am fairly new to FanFiction itself I have already got to meet many wonderful people here in the Danganronpa community who have really made me feel welcome! Still at this point I feel like I want to be able to give back to the community so I have decided that I'm going to crack my writing knuckles and start my own SYOC story which I'm happy to announce is called *Danganronpa: The Depths of Despair*. For those who are curious this story will be separate from the main story arcs found in the Hopes Peak arc and the V3 story although locations may be referenced during the story. This story is set as though the events of Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair did not occur. This story will still have the format of 16 teenagers entering Hope's Peak Academy although trust me when I say that the events and secrets that will be unfolded throughout the story will be nothing like any of the Danganronpa games you have played and I hope to make it as exciting and shocking as possible for you pleasure! After the following small introduction I will put down the form for your characters and I hope to see some applications for the story! If you wish to send a couple of characters that is fine as well, just let your creative juices flow! Now without further ado I reckon I should probably introduce this protagonist of mine and introduce her to the new depths of despair! Upupupupupupu…
So, you know how most stories either end in a song of cheer or happiness or end in utter sadness and misery? Well this isn't exactly that kind of story as well… it's kinda complex and the more I think about what happened in that place the more I feel like my brain is going to go into some massive meltdown. It's not exactly normal in any stretch of the imagination and I reckon all of you are reading will think I've literally gone insane after you hear what I say but trust me everything I say is going to 100% accurate! Guaranteed or else you get your money back! Or well, you aren't paying to read this so… Well I'm sure you can have something back!
Anyway, I suppose I should get to introducing myself as at the moment you're literally reading the ramblings of a stranger; I mean I'm not strange but yeah… right. My name is Ayumi Mizushima, such an amazing name right? Although I guess most people dislike their names so I'm not that special in that regard. Still, I was accepted to attend this prestigious school called Hope's Peak Academy. Basically, they scout out for teenagers who have a talent in a certain area and invite them to the academy with the hope of helping these teenagers hone this talent even further so they can act as a beacon of hope and inspiration for the rest of society. It's all very over the top and pretentious for my liking and to be honest when I got the letter from Hope's Peak Academy with an invitation to join as the Ultimate Triathlete I think my heart sank. My parents of course enrolled me without further delay to my chagrin so that they could tell their friends their daughter was an Ultimate. It kind of annoyed me at first for reasons you'll find out later but still… it happened. I was a student at the illustrious Hope's Peak Academy and I was about to enter the most hellish, wild ride of my life. I hope you all stick around as trust me, you may need to grab the proverbial sick bag for the chaos that is about to come.
