The Dawn of a New Era had taken the world by storm. It was a call for change - political, societal - that turned society on its head in an instant, and resistance to the movement was futile in the face of its billions of supporters. For the ever-growing minority who dared to fight back against what they called 'The Beginning of the End,' they were snuffed out before the embers of Hope could spread. However, those who converted to the ideology of the majority weren't safe either; even if one was simply suspected of buying into talk of 'The Beginning of the End' they'd disappear.
Over time, voices of opposition that had once vanished began to return as supporters of The Dawn of a New Era. They converted dozens to their side who would all do the same, and with that came an unstoppable force: Despair. It crushed all in its path, starting with the highly-dangerous graduates of Hope's Peak Academy and working its way down to everyday people. Contrary to popular belief, not all of the Hope's Peak graduates were defeated by Despair. For those students, they hid and watched the world crumble before their very eyes until they were sent to safety by an upstart rebel group known as Future Foundation that aimed to bring Hope back to the world and destroy this unprecedented Despair.
You, Class 67, will find yourselves residing in a maximum-security prison in the middle of the ocean. This prison is unlike any other in the country as the only way out is through getting away with murder. There is a fifty foot wall surrounding the prison, and atop every guard tower is a heat-sensing turret to make sure no one escapes. For everyone trapped inside, you're safe from any outside threats but beware of the monsters that are your classmates.
Will you succumb to Despair and murder a fellow classmate to leave the jail, or will Hope guide you to the light at the end of the tunnel?
To everyone who took the time to submit a character: thank you! I planned to wait until mid-August before writing, but with the cast coming together as quickly as it did, I'll start working on the newest chapter right away. Thanks for your support, and I look forward to updating in the near future.
