Chapter Text
Author's Note;
Hello Dangan ronpa fans and confused archive users who happened upon this fanfiction. I decided a bit ago that I was going to plan and write my own story to feed the ever hungry beast that is my mind and its hyper fixation on a particular death game. This is the only update there will be for a bit while I write the first chapter- and I will add character portraits as they're introduced in the story to this chapter (and when i finish drawing them). For now- all you will get is the names and their character profile but that will be untrue depending on how far in the future you read this.
I am deviating from canon lore! I won't go into all the details, as that will be explained in the story, but all the events of the previous games and anime are concluded. The world has gotten back to normal and a new generation of Ultimates have risen up through Hopes Peak academy and graduated onto Hopes Peak University; a program to continue to guide ultimates and train them in leadership, teamwork, and other essential skills to be pillars of their society. However, more than 30 years after the last killing game concluded and Hopes Peak resumed schooling, a copycat of despair has risen and has decided to run their own killing games to serve the twisted minds of an underground audience.
That's all I'll say!
Onto the character list.
Characters;
Names go Last-First but I will be referring to them by their first names because I'm an American not used to the name traditions and etiquette in Japan. Therefore I will not pretend to.

As of 4/26/23 the only character with known details is Shimizu because he is our protagonist for the duration of this fic. The first several chapters will be prologue, character building, and domestic survival situations that transpires over the course of a year in entrapment. If you want to skip to the killing game stuff- when it's started I will write here the chapter you can skip to- but reliably the chapters labeled 'Prologue' will be the hopeful stuff and despair will start to rise in chapter 1.
