➳name; Junko Enoshima
➳age; 20
➳gender; Female
➳sexuality; Pansexual
➳crush; none/ open
➳ultimate; Ultimate Fashionista/Despair {Secretly Ultimate Analyst}

➳hair; Bleach blonde
➳eyes; light blue
➳height; 5'7
➳weight; 99 lbs

➳personality;
As a mastermind and leader of Ultimate Despair, Junko was shown to be highly intelligent, cunning, somewhat impulsive, and extremely manipulative, violent and cruel without remorse. She was a highly toxic individual, being both physically and mentally abusive to everyone around her. She manipulated people into falling madly in love with her and used their weaknesses, their despair, against them. Things like hope, peace, and happiness disgusted her, but she sometimes gave hope to others, only to turn it into despair later. She often manipulated people into doing bad things instead of directly doing them herself, and then had a habit of blaming these manipulated people and claiming it wasn't her fault, as a part of proving her point that despair exists in everyone and that hope will naturally lose to that despair. While she is very skilled, Junko can also lie and cheat to further her own goals, even if it's hypocritical and goes against her beliefs. It should be noted that even though she claims despair is the great unknown, in the end the road of despair went exactly the way she had planned.

Junko's "moods" included (but were not limited to) her Monokuma persona, sickening cuteness, severe depression, clinical sophistication, boisterous vulgarity, eerie stoicism, and haughty superiority. She switched between "moods" regularly, often imitating other students' expressions, which made for a highly unsettling conversations.


However, not being able to remember her acts of despair has caused some of these traits to disappear. Junko doesn't show a thirst for despair or particularly strong hatred of boredom, nor distructive or abusive actions, implying that her constant case of forgetfulness had spared her from embracing despair again. She holds a disgust against violence and gore, However the return of her memories would revert her to her former ways. Her default personality is one related mostly with her image as a model: snobby and rude. (Quite like her sister's when she was impersonating Junko herself)

➳other; Taken from the wiki. I also referenced danganronpa zero for her insomniac personality, as a situation like this actually did happen in the manga apparently.

➳sexuality; Bisexual
➳crush; None/open
➳ultimate; Ultimate ??? {Ultimate detective}

➳hair; Lavender
➳eyes; purple
➳height; 5'6
➳weight; 106 lbs

➳personality;
Kyoko is a stoic and mysterious girl who tends to hide her feelings. She has a calm demeanor and tends to be completely unfazed by most of the events that occur, even at the sight of a dead body. During the beginning of the game, Kyoko often keeps her distance from the other students while investigating. Prior to the investigation to find the way out with no casualties, Kyoko doesn't seem to cooperate with the other students and does most of the investigating by herself. She plays major roles in solving mysteries of the culprits in Class Trials, and is also one of very few students that see things objectively and doesn't jump to conclusions in the trial, making her a valuable ally to Makoto.

➳name; Chihiro Fujisaki
➳age; 17
➳gender; Male
➳sexuality; Homosexual
➳crush; none/ open
➳ultimate; Programmer

➳hair; light brown
➳eyes; hazel
➳height; 4'10
➳weight; 90 lbs

➳personality;
Chihiro is very intelligent, but he also has a very meek and timid personality. He is very shy and apologizes a lot - it's easy to intimidate him to the point of tears. However, he also loves to talk about anything related to his work as a programmer and he becomes more lively whenever the topic is brought up. Chihiro is one of the kindest and softest characters in Danganronpa, as he literally wouldn't hurt a mosquito because it's "hungry and might have a family".

Unfortunately, Chihiro also had a deep-rooted complex over being looked down on by others as being "weak". This happened as a result of memories and experiences from his childhood where he was frequently bullied and told to act tougher due to him being rather frail for a boy. To make the bullying stop, he started disguising himself as a girl to avoid the pressure of having to become stronger. However, this only made his insecurities even worse. Though he tried to hide it, he gets uncomfortable when others treated him as a girl, and he would rather spend time with other boys instead of girls.

In school mode, Chihiro states that he enjoys reading and baking, but is afraid of earthquakes, big crowds and singing in front of other people. He really likes rabbits and hamsters and would like to have a one as a pet.

It is assumed he is a girl

I will reserve those for you. And no need to worry about not having played that game or being entirely done with the anime. The characters are more so based on their original appearances in the games anyways

[Rinovo]

thank you for understanding! I'm going to binge the rest of the series now haha


And of course I had the urge to rp Junko out of all characters, who I'd consider to be one of the hardest people to portray correctly. What have I gotten myself into haha (I'll probably have to have her forget basically everything relating with the despair, and then have her become messed up when she starts to regain memories)


And questions: Are you going to random generate our urls and have us choose which one of our characters to kill off, or do it where you generate the characters themselves? And are you going to randomly gen the mastermind or play them yourself?

[Ploegy]

Junko is accepted ^^

As for your questions, I will be the one randomly generating culprits/victims for each murder by putting the all characters into the generator. Like the rules say I will make sure everyone has at least one character alive throughout the roleplay so if you have a preference who you'd like to keep just let me know and I will exclude them in the generating process.

And for the mastermind, well, I haven't decided how I will determine that. I could perhaps randomly generate that as well if everyone is okay with that and then I will tell whoever ends up with that character so nobody else would know. I'm totally open for ideas on this though so feel free to suggest

I would personally love the idea of a randomly generated mastermind, since that could be our own little mystery that we'll have to guess about for the whole rp:>

[bigwig.]

I think a randomly generated mastermind could be really interesting tbh? it might be a bit harder to write but I feel like there's potential for some creative stuff there? idk just my two cents

edit: kiyo and maki's forms are finished! I managed to get computer access for a bit, so they're done earlier than anticipated

[Ploegy]

All the finished forms are accepted ^^

Yeah I could see it being a bit more difficult to fit into some character's personalities, but I do think it could be fun. It's definitely hard to imagine some characters as the mastermind though like Makoto

Also I might give in a make my last character to give the second game a little more love haha. Maybe I'll add Fuyuhiko since I need to avoid Hajime lol

[Rinovo]

I mean that's the challenge. I've come up with mastermind AU's using the in character personalities and lore as close as I can. I've even done it in ways where you could see even the most peaceful person being the killer. That's the fun of it :>


Me: Yes! I can use this rp to make dead characters live through the killing games!

Also me: But all the survivors are my favorite
