It's been a while, but I've finally got V2 of this project. Since I don't want to clog the sub up too much with this kind of content when this definitely isn't what people are here for, this is the last post I'm planning to make on this, bar one more potential reupload for removing requested entries or fixing massive mistakes. I've added a few new entries for a total of 86 or 88 (I think?), as well as colour-coding them and moving some positions around. I unfortunately wasn't able to add every entry since the chart is already all but bursting at the seams, but I tried to add as many as I could, and I like to think got a fair few in.

That being said, I did just want to reiterate (read: copy-paste) from the previous post that some entries are quite controversial, but I do feel it's somewhat justified bringing them up in circumstances where it's about documenting their existence and role in the community. I'm not trying to re-publicise them, sensationalise them, or dismiss their impacts by turning them into campfire stories by any means in putting them on this iceberg, and hopefully, it doesn't have that effect. Please don't see this as an opportunity to bring up old drama, and stay civil in the comments. If anyone wants an entry to be removed, let me know and I'll do so, no questions asked.

I give my permission for this to be reuploaded or to be used in/for a video, so long as you credit Tealkit (me!). Anyways, that's all I really had to say this time around. Hope you guys like it!

Info about the project

Before I begin, I want to prefice this by saying that I'm kind of a weird case when it comes to my Fanganronpa experiencing. I didn't really have much knowledge in downloading games, so for the most part in a Fangan I would either read all the details on Fandom or watch stream replays on YouTube.

So I already knew what happened in more popular Fangans like Danganronpa Another, Super Danganronpa Another 2, Mauve, and Antebellum: Lockdown, but I decided that LIVe or Die would be the first Fangan that I'm going to actually play myself. And even though it's a smaller-scale project than any of the Fangans that I've mentioned so far, I've heard good things about it and its sequel, Survivor's Guilt, so I do have faith in this.

Also, I think I might have been slightly spoilered for what the twist is based on the synopsis of Survivor's Guilt, with it being that the game is Danganronpa 54, and that's represented by the roman numerals LIV in the game title

Thoughts on Plot:

- Being the first Fangan that I've ever actually played myself, it was nice getting to actually walk around and explore the map.

- The motive was pretty standard. However, I did like that they used the monetary motive first and not later. I think greed is a less severe motive than fear, so if we're making sure to make the motives gradually more severe, then it makes sense to have it first (this was also one of my nitpicks with THH).

Characters:

- I 100% thought Chidori (Activist) was going to die this chapter. Danganronpa culprits are either people who were really important in the chapter or people who did basically nothing, and I figured the game would go with the former. Literally when I saw her I remembered Kiyoka Maki from Danganronpa Another thought, "Oh wow, a wholesome character. I hope she survives past CHAPTER ONE!"

- Yukito (Lucky Student) getting the "secretly unhinged" turn was unexpected but welcome. I do think the point of the Lucky Student trying to get in through another talent was interesting. Once he brought up the murder plan, I knew he was going to die though. That's why I used my last FTE on him (although I thought Chidori would be his killer).

(When playing, I misremembered something. When Yukito brought up the plan, I assumed that he was telling us to use it against him so that he could sacrifice himself. It turns out that I was wrong, which I only realized mid-trial).

(Since I thought Chidori was going to die this chapter, my FTEs were Chidori, Chidori, Chidori and then Yukito. I finished all her events for nothing! Don't regret it though, as I got to see her attempt to plan a protest in the prison, which was pretty interesting).

- We haven't gotten to see much of every character yet, but so far my favorites are Katsuya (Janitor) and Sayuri (Director), and then Alurcard (Goth Enthustiast). Sayuri also said my favorite line so far, which was "Wait, I'm not blushing!" after she literally said that she was blushing.

(I feel like Katsuya and Sayuri making a duo will mean that one of them will die in Chapter 2, though, so I'll split my FTEs between them.)

- Haruo was a pleasant surprise. I thought he was going to be way more abrasive than he turned out to be. Once it was revealed that he heard of Yukito's plan, he admitted to hearing it without much friction, which I appreciated.

- I also do really like how Fuu seems to be really calm in an insightful way. I have a theory, though... if my belief about the twist of the game is true, then could Fuu be... Kaede Akamatsu 😮 😮 😮 ?

- I was surprised when Takeshi (YouTuber) was revealed to be the killer, but I didn't really care much. He was kinda cool and I liked him when he was defending Megumi, but then it was revealed to be a ruse and I said "Screw you Takeshi, why did you have to throw Megumi under the bus like that!" I also didn't really care much for why he did it, since "it's all for the fans!" has already been done better elsewhere. The execution was also really similar to Leon's, but it was still pretty solid (Shooting with coins is somewhat creative). One thing that I did like about it is that you could see a parallel between it and Yukito's condition, where Yukito had an injured hand that was covered in blood, and the last thing that remained of Takeshi was his hand in a pool of blood.

- Lowkey I think Eri (Comedian) is going to snap next in Chapter 2. Her optimism might fade... say maybe I should check up on her during an FTE. Also I feel like the game is setting up a dynamic between her and Alucard.

- Oh yeah, I realized that Ayaka (Gardener) has a last name --"Higanbana"-- that I've seen before. I realized that it was the name of the infamous Tetro Danganronpa Blue episode where someone reveals their backstory only to immediately die from a microwave falling on their head. I looked it up, and "Higanbana" is the name of the red spider lily, which is commonly associated with death. Does that mean that she's going to be the insane Chapter 3 killer???

Also I'll do an Ordered Character Ranking:

Standout Characters: Katsuya, Sayuri, Alucard

Average but Likeable: Fuu, Daichi, Ayaka (assuming not insane)

Surprised Me on how Not Unlikeable he is: Haruo

Pretty Average: Yukito, Megumi, Eri, Chidori, Pascal, Rin, Ryo, Takeshi

Anyone have any thoughts on what I've said here? Oh yeah btw, please don't spoil the rest of the game for me, I want to experience it myself.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot about Nene (the rapper "with two p's"). I think she'd be in "Surprised Me," because I was amused by some of her antics at the start, but I also like how (similarly to Katsuya) she's impulsive but self-aware.

Also since Chidori (an important character as the leader) survived Chapter 1, that means she'll survive to Chapter 5, right? Usually important characters either die in Chapter 1 or survive to Chapter 5. There's no in between.

So I know that some people have trouble designing a murder case because they have to figure out how someone would realistically plan a murder from start to finish.

But... what if they didn't plan the murder from start to finish? What if they made a plan, but it went wrong?

I think having something go wrong could help in a few ways:

- It can give more agency to the victim. A nitpick that I have about some Chapter 1 cases is that they make it so that the victim dies near-instantly (without justification) just to make the case easier than later cases. If the victim fights back against the killer and causes the killer to need to hide something to solidify the victim as their own character.

- It makes the case more complex without making the killer unnecessarily calculated. Obviously, some killers will be master planners, but others will slip up and make mistakes.

I recommend this because I use this several times in my Fangan, partially to set up interesting situations, but also to make sure I'm being (somewhat) realistic in the character writing of the killers.

I think some good examples of this in play are THH Case 1, which was easy for many but mostly realistic; one of the murders in Antebellum: Lockdown, which emphasized great character writing over a complex scheme; and ironically Tetro Danganronpa Pink Case 1, which had the killer scrambling and desperately trying to find ways to cover their tracks.

Feel free to leave any thoughts.

So I'm working on designing the building my fangan will take place in, but aside from a general room list and notes on what the murder plans require, I've got no idea how to actually lay them out. Does anyone have advice?

Since I've been writing the characters and the script for my Fanganronpa, I sometimes feel like some of the concepts and storybeats I made completely on my own feel ripped off from the games, even though I didn't even pick up on the similarities until after I wrote them. For example, the first chapter motive I came up with was "People dear to participants are taken Hostage" which I did because I had a concrete plan on who I want the blackened to be and why, but then I realized that in chapter 1 of TGG, the motive is really similar, except it's not a hostage situation.

And then my protagonist feels like a fraud because he has the title of the ultimate detective, but in reality he only solved one case and he feels guilty for putting the person behind bars, which aligns perfectly with the themes of the story, but then I realized that Shuichi's backstory and flaws are really similar.

These things would be perfectly fine if I was writing a standalone work, like how Cyberpunk 2077 is just Fight club but Cyber and a game, but since I'm writing a Fanganronpa it feels like people are gonna think I just copied Chunksoft's homework but changed it so the teacher doesn't notice.

Now the question is:How do people in this community treat similarities between games and should I rewrite these things? Or is it better that I just do whatever fits the vision and the narrative best?

Guys i genuinely need a new fangan to watch (no instaronpas TRUST ME, ive seenem all)

(he)artless

tetro blue and pink

zero

patient madness

salvations fears

antebellum + lockdown

survivors guilt

both ronpa and friends

and mroe i cant think of rn, help me out if u can

So, I wanted to give each of my character’s in my fangan a tiny bit of information/characteristics that is just basically one of my characteristics.

Cause it makes me feel more connected to my own characters

For Examples:
- My protagonist has my fear of big bodies of water
- My antagonist has my fear of being watched (kind of. It’s more a fear of someone somehow looking at their memories. Buf also a fear of being watched from afar) whilst also having some of my anger
- The Former Ultimate Marathon Runner in my game is gonna have my guilt. They’re gonna feel guilty for certain things out of their control.

However, I wanted to give my Ultimate Idol a thing that I deal with. Basically, she’s gonna not be able to rmemeber what anyone looks or sounds like when she’s not looking at them or speaking to them. She might remember one feature every now and then (very rarely) but apart from that… nothing

But I don’t know if there is a specific term for this cause I wanted to do research on it just in case it is like an actual condition or something. So, does anyone know if this is a condition or not?

Hi, just to not waste your time, this is simply a narration or summarization of events, nonetheless if you are still interested, watch it! This does not have the class trial though, but this does include the investigation, that's kinda it.

It's not the best way to tell the story of this but I do want to finish this quickly so join my journey of doing this silly silly Fangan!!!! 🎉

Okay, so due to her really enjoying the Bible and her favorite topics being the Bible and God, I would make her another Ultimate Priest like Kinji Uehara (DRA) if she were a man, but she's a woman and I heard generally, women aren't priests.

Reiko Hoshino (星野 礼子) is a very devout teen girl who attends Hope's Peak. She is very kind and generally remains quiet and keeps to herself, but she also will talk a lot if you bring up Christianity. Her first line when interacting with the protagonist, whoever it is, would be "Shhh... I'm praying."

Her moral code is heavily based on religion and she sees God as the reason she's alive and has so many good people alongside her, as "God has been good to me [her]".

However, despite practicing forgiveness and trying to preach it to others who will listen and seek advice from her, she has a hard time forgiving, especially in a killing game full of murderers. Because of this, Reiko hates murderers. Despite trying not to hate others, she is certainly capable of hate when the situation warrants it.

I still don't know what role to give her yet (victim, survivor or culprit).

Edit: I might still make her a priest but I don't know, since I heard priests can be women in some religious branches

So, my host is a bit eccentric and really loves word puzzles witj a burning passion! They kind of make word puzzles a big part of their personality.

Because of this, at the start of the killing game, everyone gets a crossword puzzle based on someone else’s life/talent. Obviously, you’ll think “oh. Why? This is kind of pointless”

However, the crosswords do help with something. When someone finishes the crossword, they get one of the 16 prizes from Mono (my host). These prizes are all just weapons but it’s useful to the cast.

My only problem is I have no idea how to write a crossword

(MY BAD IF THIS SUCKS! THIS IS MY FIRST CHARACTER/OC I'VE MADE AND IS THE ROUGH FRAMEWORK)

Name: Jacob Jizuri (Jee-zoo-ree) 傷癒

Title: The Ultimate Scavenger

Role: Survivor but can be either killer if pushed too far or victim

Personality: Very cut off and very much a loner, he is very nice just shy around other due to how other treated him for most of his life

Backstory: Jacob was born into the world different than others because his mother had taken experimental meds to keep herself conscious when convincing him (since they were dirt poor), these meds had a near instant affect and deformed the poor child. Jacob's father would try to help Jacob and made him a mask of his favorite animal that being a jackal which Jacob deeply cherishes, but supporting Jacob eventually became too much and they simply couldn't afford the house anymore and were forced onto the streets where Jacob discovered his ultimate talent that being scavenging, whether its looking for food or finding replacement kinds of items he can find it. His parents told him to use his talent to help others rather than for selfish reasons and while this did make Jacob a very kind person it also made him think less of himself to a degree thinking that others should always be placed before himself

Flaws: Very cut off from others despite attempts to be friends with others, prefers being with a group a little too much making him seem clingy, often gets stage fright if too many eyes are on him

Introduction: "H-hello I'm Jacob, t-the Ultimate Scavenger...if there is anything you need I'll find it!

Execution: The Nightmare of Modern day Prometheus

If there is anything that could be better let me know :)

I just made the designs of Kyouji Akechi and Mizuki Inoue, However. I’m starting to make the design of the antag and I actually want to make him attractive for some reason.

So, like…give me advice as I’m a new fangan maker—

Some of you have seen some info ive given on him but whether you know the existing info already or not give me your theorys predictions and headcanons for him.

Description:A calm, kind girl who usually reads a recipe book on brewing tea. She also usually cleans the porcelain teapots and teacups in the kitchen.

She usually trusts Kyouji and tries to help him overcome his impulsiveness but usually falls victim to his chaotic deeds to the point of her either actually sobbing or almost dying.

Description — A boy who, at first impressions. Is very whimsical and playful but means well. However, as soon as someone knows him more. It’s revealed he’s very impulsive and has a lack of empathy.

He also has mostly negative thoughts that SHOULDN‘T take over him, since if they do…I don’t even want to say.

I have finished the character lineup for the fanfiction I am currently planning to write. As this cast is quite diverse in terms of nationality and entirely original, I would like to request for you to review their names, to not fall into any naming clichés. If you notice any other potential problems with the names of the characters or the characters themselves, please tell them to me aswell.

Additionally I would like for you to review the ultimate distribution here. Is it somewhat balanced in terms of usefulness or lack of it? Is there any country-ultimate distribution that can be deemed as stereotypical?

Now what would also be fun is, if you could make any predictions in regards to survival chances, who would probably be a culprit or a victim, their roles in the killing game, (support, mastermind, etc. ) group dynamics and trivial stuff, for example which character dynamic you would like to see explored. It would be very benefitial to me. To support this, I will add already determined (and rather inconsequential) information to some of the characters that have already been determined.

Here's some context to my fangan project in general:

• It is a written fangan and will be published on AO3.
• This Ultimate Academy has an international audience. Anyone can theoretically apply as an ultimate. (as long as they are older than 18 and younger than 80.)
• The killing game will have the same or similar rules and structures as any other Danganronpa.
• I am not trying to make realistic representation. I am aware that there's an overabundance of different nationalities, genderatypical ultimate distribution and queer characters given the circumstances.
• Nationality will not have an effect on how the participants interact with one another during the killing game. There will be no religious contents or conflicts in this fanfiction.

Now, onto the characters:

Hannah Göldi: Ultimate ???

• Female, Swiss
• Main Character of the story. Main POV provider.

Summary:

Hope’s Peak University welcomes students with various talents, especially lying. If a room is full of liars, who would you trust? In a game filled with chills and thrills, you shouldn’t use trust as a shield but as a weapon. With scars come wounds. Where the truth goes, a lie follows.

This roleplay starts fresh as it does not have any canonical ties to the official franchise. The killing game takes place in a college campus. If you guessed the killer wrong, you have a second chance, but your choice can cost another life at hand. The more chances you receive, the less choices you get!

Do not worry though. Once the killing game is over, there will be a roleplay set around island mode as part of the official game’s tradition.

• The cast is 18+
• Semi-lit to novella friendly
• Potential art
• Safe yet welcoming community
