I woke up, and now I have an idea (well two) to put TWST characters through the Horrorsâ„¢.
DANGANRONPA:
I feel like I haven't seen much of it, but I played the first two mainline games and I thought it was fun. Spoilers for TWST and all three mainline Danganronpa games.
So, Danganronpa. The main gist is a bunch of high school students are stuck in a large location and are given a stash of food and other items. The only way to get out of the location is to kill another student, and get away with the murder during a class trial. If you are caught, you are executed. If you're not caught, then all the other students will be executed. In each game, there is a mastermind, which has been caught without fail in the three mainline games. (Ignore the V3 a bit since it's scripted.)
In terms of setting, I'd say Hope's Peak Academy would fit the best, or at least Night Raven College, since it was the only real killing game, minus the rudimentary one that also was in Hope's Peak.
I would also like to draft some ultimate talents and executions, as well as a vague timeline.
The Actual Horrorsâ„¢, the background information (CW: Violence):
It would follow similarly to the actual Danganronpa timeline, with the mastermind being the Ultimate Despair, and causing various events that destroy the world. In this Night Raven decides to preserve its grounds, rather than just one class. (This is how I justify the older students). The current cast are the only ones to agree to stay. Despite NRC being an all boys boarding school, the idea is relatively sound, as there will be human survivors no matter what, and they just need to pick up the pieces and fix the broken world.
Then, the mastermind strikes. They wipe the student's memories of the time stayed in NRC. This results in the students believing they are trapped in the school with no way out. Then Grim, our dear mascot and replacement for Monokuma appears. The general rules are explained, and then it goes onto the actual killing game. More on that later, because now it's time for…
The students:
With NRC being an extremely prestigious school, of course they'd only take the best of the best, and people willing to line their pockets of course. Can't run a school without funds XP.
Riddle Rosehearts: Ultimate Prefect/ Moral Compass. Unlike Kiyotaka Ishimaru (the previous holder of the title), Riddle would be the kind to list every rule broken in a five foot radius with a bit too much precision, and also screaming less.
Ace Trappola: Ultimate Lucky Student. We need one in every class, okay? But it also plays into his card games a bit. We know that he does slight of hand, but I think he should get Ultimate Lucky Student over Ultimate Gambler because he needs at least some luck to survive poking Riddle until he snaps in the original game, and the mines from the Prolog.
Deuce Spade: Ultimate Gang Leader. This plays into his past of being a delinquent in his younger years, as well as giving him a bit of a nudge for the magic bikes present in TWST.
Trey Clover: Ultimate Confectionary. Look at him. That's his whole thing.
Cater Diamond: Ultimate Social Media Influencer. That's kind of his whole personality. I debated giving him the Ultimate Imposter, but decided it didn't match after reviewing his Fandom page.
Leona Kingscholar: Ultimate Magishift Player. I looked through, and considered Ultimate Heir as a cruel joke of fate, and Ultimate Social Studies for a bit. I don't think Ultimate Social Studies is a good assessment, however. While Leona has talent, the only time we see him use it is in the Magishift Tournament in book 2, hence his title.
Ruggie Bucchi: Ultimate Agitator. I considered giving Ruggie the Ultimate Lucky Student for the year above Ace, but I think Agitator works better with his Unique Magic.
Jack Howl: Ultimate Athlete. I want at least some variation in what I give, hence not having another Magishift player. But Jack also participates in other sports and maintains a strong sportsmanship with other athletes.
Azul Ashengrotto: Ultimate CEO/ Loan Shark He manages the Monstro Lounge extremely well, and is savvy in the world of business. The only reason I didn't give him ultimate businessman was because his Unique Magic is contract based. (Cough, book 3, loan sharking, cough)
Jade Leech: Ultimate Manager/ Twin. He manages Floyd. Next!/j. In all seriousness, I think he does have a knack for managing employees, as well as being a part of the fish mafia.
Floyd Leech: Ultimate Fashion Connoisseur/ Twin. Floyd expresses interest in Fashion, particularly after coming to land. If you noticed the second talents for all the Octivinelle students, it's mainly because they would likely lie to not be perceived as suspicious. The second talent would be their true talent, while the first is used to cover up the more suspicious talent.
Kalim Al-Asim: Ultimate Heir. He is the first born child to the ruling family in the Scalding Sands.
Jamil Viper: Ultimate Attendant. While being tied to his past serving Kalim, I think it also encompasses a good deal of what he does. He is extremely talented in a variety of things, mostly house keeping, but also is able to act as body guard.
Vil Schoenheit: Ultimate Actor. As much as it punches me in the gut to not give him Ultimate Beauty, it shows how he's second to Neige, who in this context would be in a different class, but the same year.
Epel Felmier: Ultimate Farmer. Epel was kind of forced under Vil's wing, but still maintains his previous talent for plant growing.
Rook Hunt: Ultimate Hunter and self-proclaimed Beauty Connoisseur. It sort of explains itself.
Idia Shroud: Ultimate Inventor. He's created the marvel of technology that is a sentient and non-malicious AI, as well as creating the body for said AI. He would've preferred Gamer, but his technological feats speak for themselves.
Ortho Shroud: while not an official student, Ortho would call himself the Ultimate Little Brother, or something similar to that.
Malleus Draconia: Ultimate Mage. His magical prowess speaks for itself, much to the chagrin of Leona being unable to get Ultimate Heir himself.
Lillia Vanrouge: Ultimate Caregiver/ Soldier. Lillia prefers to hide his title as ultimate soldier, because it makes others suspicious of him, and his past deeds. The "caregiver" talent comes from raising Malleus and Silver. He was granted access to NRC in order to "keep Malleus in check" (because he was admitted in the past, but only now uses it)
Silver: Ultimate ???/ Hope. He would likely not remember his past, but is the Ultimate hope because he is proof that the many species can live together in peace. And also because of his whole arc in book 7.
Yuu: Ultimate Hope/ Despair. Yes, Yuu. Yuu organized the killing games out of frustration for the current state of the world. Despairing over the further spiraling politics outside, but hopeful of change. They tried to get the students to work together, but when it failed, they decided to make the killing games to force them to work together.
Part 2 coming:
Edit: I forgot Sebek. Ultimate Guard (in training). I think it explains itself.
