Dangan Ronpa Character List

PREMISE: These characters are high schoolers who have an extraordinary talent in one field. This talent has gained the attention of Hope's Peak Academy, where they were invited to attend. They walk through the front gate, and... wake up on the inside of the school, which is now under total lockdown. They are given an ultimatum- if they want to leave, they have to murder one of their classmates. If they can succeed in this task, and then not be caught by the rest of their class, they are allowed to leave, while everyone else dies. If they are caught, they are executed, and the cycle begins anew.

Name: Miyu Yorutori
Gender/Sex: Female
SHSL Talent: Stalker
Appearance: 
Personality: A girl who speaks her mind and revels in uncertainty. She has no fear of death but she fears the death of her beloved.

Background: n/a

Name: Takatsuchi, Eiji
Gender/Sex: Male
SHSL Talent: Boxer, a championship boxer whose punches feel like you're getting hit by a freight train.
Appearance:

Personality: A simple honest man who thinks with his fists rather than his brain. Not to say he's dumb by any means. He just has a naive idea that problems can be solved by sheer force of will and strength. Despite his large size, he can be very friendly to others, especially those he considers in need of protection or is considered a good person (though, it's hard for him to see the bad in most people). Sadly, because of this, he is easily manipulated by others.
Background: Eiji has always been a big and burly kid. Because of this, he had always gotten into fights with other kids trying to prove how tough they were. This, however, caused a lot of problems for the kid and it was suggested that he take up boxing to vent his supposed anger. Not that he minded, he had taken to boxing quite quickly and grew to love it as a sport. Now he's considered the strongest powerhouse in boxing.

Name: Rowan Evermoore
Gender/Sex: Male 
SHSL Talent: Prince, they have the charm and eloquence of a prince as well as a natural ability to lead and handle situations diplomatically.
Appearance:

Personality: Ever kind and charismatic, Rowan appears to be the ideal fairy tale prince charming. They speak politely and formally and work hard to uphold their status as the perfect prince. They are very good at handling people and will take charge if the situation calls for it.
Background: Rowan is the heir to a small European kingdom. They were not originally going to receive the throne, but after Rowan's elder brother died, they had no choice but to have Rowan take his place.

Name: Saito, Daisuke
Gender/Sex: Male
SHSL Talent: Introvert, is so plain and tries so hard to go unnoticed that they can blend in to anywhere. 
Appearance:
 
Personality: The very definition of a introvert taken up to eleven. He is shy to the point that he avoids social interactions like the plague. He has an irrational fear of attention being on him and will freak out and stumble over his words when someone notices him. 
Background: No one knows when exactly Daisuke gained a phobia of being noticed, but he seems to have had it since childhood. He would always do everything possible to go unnoticed. He has become so good at it, that even when he's the only other person in the room, someone would still have a hard time noticing that he's there. Being in a crowd just makes it even harder to spot him. Besides the phobia, he seems to have had a perfectly normal life. Something befitting of the plain boy.

Name: Natsuhi, Rin
Gender/Sex: Female
SHSL Talent: Actress
Appearance: 
Personality: A very emotive person, her personality always seems to reach extremes easily. She can be the happiest or the saddest or the angriest person you've ever met. Oddly, she's a lot more controlled when acting a role.
Background: A famous child actress that has won many awards, and continues to be popular even into her older years. No one is actually quite sure of where she came from, other than her closest confidants. She doesn't talk about her backstory, and no one has leaked a plausible story to the tabloids.


Name: Miyamoto, Hiraku
Gender/Sex: Male
SHSL Talent: Game Designer
Appearance: 
Personality: An oddly analytical person for his otherwise happy demeanor. He seems to like deconstructing things and figuring out how to make them more fun. He seems to care about his own fun more than getting others to enjoy themselves, but others benefit from his ideas regardless.
Background: Having made new and popular games ever since he was a child, ranging from playground fun to board games to video games, Hiraku's name is well-known among people who like to play. He's quite wealthy, since he started tapping into the smartphone game market.



Name: Ryoshi, Naomi
Gender/Sex: Female
SHSL Talent: Sailor
Appearance: 
Personality: As honest a person you will ever meet. Naomi comes across as slightly stupid, but this is due to being at sea more often than being on land. Probably one of the most foul-mouthed students in the entire academy, having not really grown up with a sense of social decency.
Background: Born at sea, she has spent most of her life on one boat or another. After having survived a disastrous storm while sailing on her own, she earned the title of SHSL Sailor and was invited to Hope's Peak.

Name: Isaac Wright
Gender/Sex: Male
SHSL Talent: Conman
Appearance: 
Personality: A snake that'll try and convince you that the sky is red and the grass is red. He doesn't lie as so much as use your own thought process against you. He'll abuse Cognitive Distortions and the humans way of thinking to get the outcome that he wants no matter the cost.

Bio: TO BE FILLED

Name: Jonathan "Johnny" Jackson

Gender/Sex: Female

SHSL Talent: paranoid nutcase Paranormal Investigation

Appearance: (will add description later)

Personality: A well-meaning, but incredibly paranoid girl. Comes up with some rather implausible theories regarding pretty much everything; and is a firm believer in the paranormal. Has trouble making friends due to her inability to trust people.
Background: Was always a believer in the supernatural. Was betrayed by someone she trusted in her past, leading to her current paranoid behavior.

Name: Aina Matsuoka
 
Gender/Sex: female
 
SHSL Talent: Matchmaker
 
Appearance: http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=773290
 
Personality: Claims her love of bringing people together stems from her love of seeing people find happiness in each other. However, there's a darker side to her desire to bring people together. Likes to be in control of the things around her; including other peoples' relationships.
 
Background: Her background is not a happy one.

Name: Alex Seto
Gender/Sex: Male
SHSL Talent: Basketball
Appearance: http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1043046
Personality: He acts the part of a thug, rough housing with other guys a bit too much and generally being somewhat threatening to others. However, there's a softer side to him if you look for it.
He has a passionate love for Basketball that can't be compared to any ordinary basketball player. Whether he's winning or losing, he enjoys every movement. Not that he's even been remotely challenged in recent years, as his skills have soared so high that some have gone so far as to compare it to that of the NBA players. He has a remarkable disdain for all things football, however.
Background: While his father may have been Japanese, Alex was born in America. His mother wanted him to have an American name so he wouldn't get made fun of in school. Alex was raised learning both English and Japanese and became properly bilingual. He grew up learning about both American and Japanese history, as well. However, when he was 12 he got in with a bad crowd due to some unfortunate circumstances and a bad friendship, and joined a gang. After a few years of this, his father brought him back to Japan, so as to get away from those 'friends' of his. Alex didn't want to admit it, but he was really relieved about this and decided to make the most of living in his father's country, one he hadn't been in for a long time.
His skills with basketball attracted certain people, who in turn his father approved of tremendously and Alex ended up in the class he is in now. Old habits die hard though, so he still has violent reactions to things and is fairly rough speaking.

Name: Chouko Hamasaki
Gender: Female
SHSL Talent: Actually she's just lucky!
Appearance: http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1029485
Personality: She's often happy, and generally things go her way. She's a fan of manga and anime, and generally she doesn't work very hard. She treats everyone kindly and expects them to treat her kindly in turn, and when they don't she will often get onto them rather than be bothered. In this way, she acts more like a mother to others than a friend, and will even tell off those she's close to if she sees something wrong in what they're doing. However, when someone's in the right, she will back them up as much as she can.
Background: For the most part, she's coasted through life. More will be revealed throughout the RP, but lets just say it isn't necessarily as happy as her oft-good luck would suggest.

Name: Toilet Paper Jones
Gender/Sex: Female
SHSL Talent: Occultist
Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: She is a little eccentric. She tries to keep to herself. She cannot fully trust a person until she knows for sure whether they are a supernatural being or not. When she gets excited about something, she tends to breath heavily and sweat profusely.
Background: Ever since she was a little girl, she has been interested in the supernatural and the unknown. She always found it very fascinating. She owns every book she can get her hands on that deals with the subject. She spends her Friday nights researching new types of theories and sightings. She wants to become the most knowledgeable person in the world about occultism. Toilet Paper has even tried to come up with her own curses and spells to cast on other people. Whether they work or not is another story.
Her parents were a bit different. They helped introduce her into the world of the occult. Everything in their home was filled with strange objects and books about horrifying creatures. They wanted a daughter with a name that was uncommon. A name that the other girls in the world would not have. They decided to name her "Toilet Paper Jones", because toilet paper was always something that was reliable, strong, and resilient probably (if it wasn't super cheap toilet paper).

Gender/Sex: Male
SHSL Talent: Cosplayer

Personality: Makoto is an outgoing person. He cosplays both males and females, but he prefers to cosplay female characters. The dresses are fun to make and he enjoys completely changing his appearance. He is a perfectionist and has a quick temper on the subject of costume-making. If he finds a flaw in his cosplay, he will obsess about it until he is able to fix it.
Background: TBA
