Lights, Camera, Action! A Showy Battle for Life and Death~ A Dangan Ronpa Roleplay [CHAT THREAD]

"..........P-Please don't bother me........."

Name: Christopher Zane

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Appearance: Christopher honestly looks like a simple book nerd, he has short shaggy black hair, dull blue eyes with large square indigo colored glasses surrounding them, a dark blue turtle neck, black sweat pants, and black tennis shoes. He is also rather short in stature compared to other teens and he is often seen carrying a book in his arms once he finds where the library is. (He will often read the book mostly to avoid talking to others by seeming less approachable and easier to ignore others when they do try to talk to him.)

Ultimate Talent: Ultimate Lucky Student

What got them so recognized?: He simply got... lucky that's all~

Personality: Christopher is the definition of a nerdy introvert. He is very quiet and often doesn't really to talk to others in other than quiet mutters and even then it is in as few words as possible. But he does love to read, especially mystery novels, and can be usually seen reading during his free time and often letting out quiet mutters as he reads. Despite seeming to be calm and quiet all the time if Christopher somehow lost his glasses or someone took them he would begin to freak out because he is blind as a bat without them and being unable to see what is going on around him really freaks him out. Also Christopher loves chocolate like nobody's business, it is probably one of the only ways to get him to stop acting shy and quiet, and he will more than likely hoard any chocolate he finds and put it in his room. He wont share either, especially if it is dark chocolate. Overall Christopher is a quiet introverted nerd who likes books and chocolate and doesn't like socializing at all. Plus there seems to be an air of secrets and mystery around him.

Sexuality: He sees himself as a male but he has never actually found a love interest in anyone before and he seems a bit to shy to try. But in all honestly he is probably bi~

How was their life before today?: This would be better off eventually reveled in the RP~

Relationships: Nothing that stands out, he doesn't really have any friends and he barely ever talks about his family.

*Killing Game*

How do they feel about this situation? He is quiet and unreadable, he seems rather calm on the outside but truth be told he is honestly panicking on the inside. If one was observant enough one would be able to tell he was quietly hyperventilating when things start.

Are they trustworthy or wary?: He is honestly very wary of the others around him, he often seems very tense and nervous if anyone gets too close to him and he isn't one that talks much unless necessary.

What would make them a killer? If someone was to find out information about him that he didn't want getting out and threatened to use it against him... well I think that would be his perfect motivation~

Are they most likely a victim, killer, or survivor?: He is likely to be a survivor because he is too timid to actually kill someone and he is smart enough to avoid most situations that would leave him alone with a killer.

Other: I do want someone to be determined to make sure that Christopher is involved and keeps trying to be his friend and eventually he will open up to them~ ^w^

"I may have a short lifespan but I don't want to live it in sadness. I want to be like these flowers, I want to keep blooming to make everyone happy until my time is up~"

Name: Astera Rowland (First name means flower name and last name means grove)

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Appearance: With long, rich red wood colored hair tied in a messy ponytail, beautiful forest green eyes, pale skin, and a warm smile is what one is often drawn to at first when they first meet Astera. His clothes are on the more simpler side, he often wears a simple green t-shirt, dark blue working jeans, brown gardening boots, and a tan gardening apron that has little flower designs on it. And he even has some gardening gloves but when he isn't working they are usually sticking out of his apron's front pocket. Also he is often seen carrying a small potted plant, could be different plants at different times, since he feels more comfortable when he has a plant with him at all times. (He will also sometimes talk to it, making him look a little weird.)

Ultimate Talent: Ultimate Gardener

What got them so recognized?: Astera is said to own one of the biggest and most diverse gardens in the world, said to have many plants that wouldn't even grow in the area and even a few rare species mixed in and he had done the majority of it himself, many people who have come to see the beautiful place have said it is the crowned jewel of all gardens.

Personality: Astera is honestly one of the kindest and most selfless people out there, he even uses his talent purely to see others enjoying the beauty of nature at it's peak. He often puts other's needs before his own and is always friendly to every person he meets, he is also a wonderful person to vent to or ask to keep secrets because once you get his loyalty he never backs down from it. The downside is that he honestly doesn't take good care of himself, which is concerning considering he has poor health, and can often push himself too hard for the sake of others and his plants. Speaking of plants he loves taking care of every kind of plant no matter what kind they may be, and the more of a challenge it is the more effort and love he puts into taking care of them. He is a little weird for always loving to talk to his plants that he takes care of as if they were people. Plus after being around plants for so long it had kind of made Astera into a vegetarian, it wasn't that he hated meat but he simply loved eating the food that nature provides more. He simply finds himself eating vegetables over meat, it's just his preference but he isn't a vegan because he does still enjoy dairy and the like. Overall Astera is just a kind-hearted sweet guy who loves nature and what it provides.

Sexuality: He does see himself as a male but he doesn't care who his partner is, as long as they love each other for who they are he doesn't care if they are a girl, guy, or non-binary. Astera is kind to everyone and isn't racist or sexist in anyway. (But he would be hesitant on a relationship since he has health issues.)

How was their life before today?: Astera always loved plants, his parents always jokes that even when he was a baby he would rather sleep next to a plant rather than a stuffed animal. It only grew as he and his parents frequently went to different gardens all around the world since both were land scape photographers, it made the small child dream of eventually owning one of his own with as many plants as he could fit in it. But eventually the boy's health began to deteriorate causing the family to find a permanent settlement so their child wouldn't get worse, sadly that wasn't the case.... At the age of 12 Astera and his parents found out that he had a bad case of an incurable illness (likely gotten from during his travels with his parents) that wouldn't allow the young boy to live past 22, they could only give him medicine that would only delay the inevitable and make his life easier to live. But instead of getting depressed about dying Astera continued to smile and decided to start making his dream come true. He began to construct a big garden full of every plant imaginable, even ones that didn't normally grow where he lived, so people could come and enjoy the beauty of the plant that Astera loved so dearly. And when his parents asks how he could be so happy he simply answered with "I may have a short lifespan but I don't want to live it in sadness. I want to be like these flowers, I want to keep blooming to make everyone happy until my time is up~"

Relationships: His closest bond is with his parents since they have always been there for him and supported him all though out his life, he doesn't really have many close friends and he isn't in a relationship because he doesn't want to make them sad for when he eventually passes on. But it doesn't stop him from being as friendly as he can towards new people. (P.S. His parents are the only ones to know he has the illness.)

*Killing Game*

How do they feel about this situation? He is absolutely horrified of all of this but he is putting aside his own feelings to help calm down the others who are also freaking out.

Are they trustworthy or wary?: Honestly he is probably one of the most trustworthy people there, he honestly believes that everyone among him wouldn't stoop themselves low enough to commit murder. He sees everyone as his friend as wants to help all of them get out of this mess alive and together. He is a wonderful ally to talk to help calm down or... he could be an easy pawn to manipulate....

What would make them a killer? More than likely if it were ever to happen it would most likely be an accident but if by chance it wasn't he would do it probably either if he was influenced by someone pretending to be his friend or he was trying to protect someone he really cares about. And since he is frail he would probably do it through some kind of poisonous plant, but like I said it likely wouldn't happen unless it was something dire. He isn't someone who is easily pushed.

Are they most likely a victim, killer, or survivor?: Honestly he would most likely be a victim due to his trusting nature and frail body.

Other: Can I please find this boy a crush, or someone crushing on him, before something happens to him? I love my cute bae~ And it can be either gender, but I prefer a male for him~ ^w^

Also he is very good at helping people with small health issues (like headaches and the like) since he knows what plants would help sooth these things. Same with minor injures if he isn't panicking.

And the reason his skin is so pale even though he gardens a lot is because of his illness, plus he bruises easily because of it as well.

Name: Katsuo Hayashi is his name. He is commonly given the nicknames of Kat or Kitty due to his given name.

Gender: He is biologically and genetically male, and he identifies as such.

Age: He is seventeen years of age, having had been born on the 28th of April. He is a Taurus.

Appearance: He has cream white hair though some parts of it are "dirty" in the sense that it is a darker color than the rest. His eyes are a silver-blue, but seem grey in color from a normal distance. Only up close can you see that his eyes are actually primarily a dull blue color with silver-grey flecks. His skin is pale, often being described as looking like a ghost or a corpse in color. On certain days his veins are easy to see but his skin is usually a uniform color of white. He is tall, lanky, and moderately skinny. He is five feet eleven inches tall, or one hundred eighty centimeters, and weighs one hundred forty-three pounds, or sixty-five kilograms. He prefers to wear baggy clothing, items of clothing that are a size too large for his body style, and tends to wear clothing that stick to shades of black and white.

Ultimate Talent: Ultimate Lucky Student. If not that, then he is known as the Ultimate Information Broker. It's an odd title, that's for sure, but it fits his observant nature. He doesn't have too much of a presence, allowing him to blend into the background, which is He enjoys learning things, and has a small notebook that he uses to write down things that he figures out. He finds joy in the research it takes in order to gather information on someone. That being said, he isn't very talented when it comes to talking to others, or when it comes to filtering through the vast internet to pinpoint specific items of information. In order to be as good as he can be at his talent, he requires the help of those that can access information through various mediums.

What got them so recognized?: Though it had started off innocent enough, Katsuo began using his skills to obtain private information on teachers, blackmailing them into giving him good grades. Eventually, he got caught, and though he would try to blackmail the headmaster of the school into allowing him to stay, it didn't quite work. Of course, his talent for accumulating and using information didn't go unnoticed.

Personality: He is a quiet and observant male, tending to take charge only when it seems to be required of him. He is a hesitant leader, but as a subordinate he is sure of himself. He listens to the rules will follow them as long as they hold meaning for him. He is intelligent and tends to view himself as more important than others due to this, but that doesn't mean he won't help out those that need it. Some positive traits include; selfless, adaptable, hardworking, organized, rational, perceptive, logical, methodical, dedicated. Some neutral traits include; confidential, serious, independent, determined, restrained, skeptical, complex, alert, distant. Some negative traits include; self-critical, aloof, hesitant, arrogant, insensitive, paranoid, obsessive, quirky, tactless. He has minor OCD and anxiety. He despises unnecessary and repetitive noises such as tapping or whistling. He fears heights, drowning, and losing those that he cares for, specifically his mother. He suffers from amaxophobia, which is the fear of riding as a passenger in a vehicle such as a car or a bus. He bites the end of a pen or pencil when thinking. He will also chew on his lower lip when writing or when focused on doing something. He constantly organizes and reorganizes things when it doesn't seem that they are in the right place. This will happen at a restaurant, at his desk in class, in his room, while shopping, while in a library, etc.

Sexuality: He is bisexual and biromantic, though he has an extreme preference for males. So much so that he will rarely have an interest in a female, though it has happened often enough that he can't fully identify as homosexual or homoromantic. He will not be interested in someone unless they have a bond first, though.

How was their life before today?: He had been born in Takayama, Japan on April 28th at eight in the morning, a few days early if you were to pay attention to his due date, to a happy but unmarried couple. He had been born a little sickly, which had caused his parents to worry. Luckily he had the help of the hospital and the support of his loving parents, which had allowed him to make a full recovery. He was the first child of his parents and had been spoiled rotten when he was young. Well, as spoiled as a kid who's parents survived on an average income could be. Which was kind of spoiled. At the age of six he had lost his father in a car accident. His father had been in the driver seat, his mother in the passenger seat. Katsuo was in the backseat. It had been a case of someone running a red light at night and slamming right into the driver's side of their car. His father had died two days after the accident, having had been knocked unconscious by the impact and not having had woken up once between the crash and his death. His mother had taken on an extra job soon after, trying her hardest to help support both her and her son. She managed to be around a lot as he was growing up, despite her busy schedule, and tried to be there for Katsuo as much as she could. When he was eight his mother moved him to the United States to get a better paying job and to hopefully raise her son in a place where he could have more freedom. He had been bullied by his peers the first year of school due to the fact that he wasn't able to speak English very well, even if he could understand what was being said. From that age, he started to get into the hobby of people watching, paying attention to their actions and motivations. He would watch his peers, take down notes about what he knew and what he learned about them. After a while, he was able to piece together information about them, and had created an arsenal of verbal weapons he could use against his bullies. His mild threats, combined with his cold and uncaring facade, caused the bullies to eventually stop.

Relationships: Momoka Hayashi and Driscoll Attaway, mother and father respectively. He has a close bond with his mother, the two of them having had to rely solely on each other for the majority of Katsuo's life. His relationship with his father had been close as well, and he can remember often having fun and taking trips with both of his parents. Driscoll's death had a large impact on the young Katsuo. He doesn't know whether or not he has any other living family members, and he has a hard time making friends. He's had a couple of romantic relationships, though none of them were ever particularly serious or long term.

How do they feel about this situation?: At first, he doesn't want to believe the situation that they are in, though he does understand what is going on. He will be skeptical and will likely question everything. On the inside he will be furious and terrified.

Are they trustworthy or wary?: He is relatively wary, especially since he has the extreme desire to survive.

What would make them a killer?: There are a lot of things that could push him to be a killer, though I would prefer not to say simply due to the fact that I would like to keep all possible motives a secret in the case that he does end up killing someone.

Are they most likely a victim, killer, or survivor?: He would likely be a victim, but may end up being a killer if the motive was just right.

Other: I don't believe that there is anything else that should be included.
