Well, if we must have a SHSL good/bad luck, Tewi would be the obvious candidate... Does Science qualify? If so then I'd nominate Rikako, along with possibly Rika for SHSL Engineer and Patchouli for SHSL Magician and/or Librarian. Oh, and maybe Mystia for SHSL Idol. Although, I have to wonder what Yukari would be doing... I keep thinking she'd be running things somehow. For SHSL Luck, I'd probably agree with Tewi, albeit her ability is to give it to others instead of just have it. Scientific talents are kind of rare in-game, but I don't feel we should exclude them if we have them. Along with Rika and Rikako, Nitori could work as an engineer or a mechanic, while Utsuho I could see as a nuclear engineer of sorts. I really don't see how Patchoulli could have librarian as a skill, maybe bookworm or encyclopedia or something. I'd really try not to add any magical skills, since magic we could be quite "game breaking" to the SHSL Despairs keeping everyone captive. I imagine that Mystia or Kyouko could both go for SHSL Idol or Punk musician, and whoever got it feels some guilt over taking it from the other and leaving wherever they were before (Lamprey stand/Buddhist priest-in training). On that note, we probably should try and discuss potential free-time events after we get the characters chosen. As for Yukari, I could see her as a big part of this mutual killing actual occurring, but not actually trying to cause it.

Tewi as SHSL Luck is 100% accurate and I think is one we can confirm. I think I have a list of some we could use! - Yuyuko Saigyouji: SHSL Princess
- Hata no Kokoro: SHSL Performer
- Alice Margatroid: SHSL Dollmaker
- Reimu Hakurei: SHSL Miko
- Marisa Kirisame: SHSL Thief
- Aya Shameimaru: SHSL Journalist
- Shikieiki Yamaxandu: SHSL Judge or SHSL Moral Compass
- Prismriver Sisters: SHSL Band (Lyrica-SHSL Pianist, Lunasa-SHSL Violinist, Merlin-SHSL Trumpeter)
- Yuugi Hoshiguma: SHSL Wrestler
- Tenshi Hinanawi: SHSL Meteorlogist
Hmm...Since I guess since there's about 3 or 4 of us really into this, we could split the character number up so we each play a certain amount of characters (?). Maybe for the setting, it could be a known place in Gensokyo or an unknown place (unless this became a AU where the characters are sent out of Gensokyo and into the Human World for the mutual killings).
As for murders and motives, I've tended to notice that the canon motives for DR and SDR2 are similar in ways. Though I think we could find more motives before going for the canon ones.
Backstory I think we can make up when we decide on the SHSL Despair members! Also yes Free-time events are good, quite good. That'll come after we make the character list =v=

About where this should be taking place, the Outside World would be an interesting choice, since none of them would know the place... except then they wouldn't be able to escape at all, even if they did leave, so they wouldn't have any reason to kill each other, I think. I'm not sure where you could stuff them in Gensokyo where no one else would wonder why they're here not not where they should be, since everywhere is populated by someone... though maybe somewhere in the Forest of Magic, or the Great Youkai Forest on Youkai Mountain? Both forests are thick enough that no one would see a school from the air, and potentially it could be deep enough in that no one would stumble across it. Although, if someone does, that would be a interesting twist.

Yo, so good idea on Kokoro and Yuugi, while i'm not too sure about Tenshi or using all of the Prismrivers at once. Here's some more Ideas I got in the meantime: - Hatate Himekaidou: SHSL Paparazzi
- Satori Komeji: SHSL Novelist
- Ran Yakumo: SHSL Mathematician
... Reading up on the posts gave me a pretty cool idea for the mastermind: - Ran Yakumo: SHSL
Mathematician Despair
It would make enough sense, given her high intelligence and gap manipulation abilities that Yukari taught her for hibernation times she could have easily used to create any environment to trap the students in, and her normally stoic personality could be used to trick others from thinking of a more sadistic one underneath it all. As for the setting, I'd kind of like to see a mock representation of Gensokyo like like the islands are in SDR2, which mocks up a tropical island in their world. Everyone could live within houses in a fake Human village, and we could have a Forest of Magic, Bamboo Forest, Misty Lake and Youkai Mountain, 3 of which get unlocked after each school trial. We could use the areas to cause despair through a bad parody of an unreachable home, and to fool people that might read as to who murdered who. Also, adding in a new character that somehow made it in might it past any impassable borders sounds like a cool idea! (Maribel Hearn, maybe?)

The masterminds have already been chosen. But they're only known to Kero and myself, as we're roleplaying them. Yes, there's two. It's to spice things up and keep it interesting.
That said.
Be hilarious if this guy was allowed here -
"Now...Murakumo, activate! This whole world is nothing but lies! LIES! Lemme show you what I like to call the truth! The truth called 'DESPAIR!' In the name of Susano'o, I command you! Murakumo, AWAKEN! Behold the sword of the god-slayer, KUSANAGI! Let all lies fall before your divine blade!" - Terumi Yuuki
"The party's started! Now... struggle... suffer... massacre!! Dance for me like the little worms you are! Your sad, wretched screams will open the Nemesis Horizon!" - Terumi Yuuki
"OK, all right, fine! How about this reason? Seems as good as any. I do all the wonderful things I do because I want to see the miserable look on the faces of people like YOU when you're wallowing in despair, dismay, grief, frustration, misery... all sorts of other unpleasant nouns. At least despair is interesting." - Terumi Yuuki

Yeah maybe the Prismrivers are pushing it a bit, though one could enter for the others and bring fame to them. Also for Tenshi, I only went with that since she caused the huge weather incident in Gensokyo so she would a Meteorlogist possibly. xD ALSO I APPROVE OF THAT MOCK ISLAND. It sounds pretty nice and actually would make a good setting! I think that should be used as the setting for this! ovo Also Maribel....YES GOOD. That sounds pretty interesting!

Glad you like! Anyways, I got a few more characters to throw out there: - Mononobe no Futo: SHSL Home Decorator
- Iku Nagae: SHSL Meteorologist (Ability fits better)
- Kaguya Houraisan: alt. SHSL Princess
- Nazrin: SHSL Dowser
- Keine Kamashirasawa: SHSL Historian
- alt. Tewi Inaba: SHSL Saleswoman
- alt. Marisa Kirisame: SHSL Good (Bad?) Luck (If we limit magic use).
Beyond that, I think I'm good for character input. Unless anyone got anything else, I'd be ready the for finalization.

No problem! It's really good! ovo Those characters sounds pretty good as well, I guess now I should put all of the characters we came up with into that Google Docs document and then we pick and choose who gets who, I think. Other than that, I'm ready for finalization as well! EDIT: All of the character choices are added!
If you guys want to start choosing characters out of the list we have so far, it is alright! As for the finalization of the plot and such, I shall take all that we have and then make another thread or post about this! Any questions?

Okay then! I think I have a summary of the full plot of this along with some other things (rules basically). The name of this roleplay, in the nature of Dangan Ronpa, shall be called Danmaku Ronpa: Fantasy Land of Hope and Despair! The plot of this roleplay is of such like Dangan Ronpa but with the Touhou Characters. The characters are students of Hope's Peak Acameny (or at least a Gensokyo version of it). Based on Sagaciouscejai's post, the characters' magic and any part of them, unless it pertains to their SHSL, that reveals them to be a youkai will be sealed along with a good ol memory erasing! They need to believe they're humans and just SHSLs. Sagaciouscejai also suggested a setting for this, which I highly approve of which is a mock Gensokyo similar to the islands of SDR2. That, I think, will be the official setting of this! Now onward to other regulations! - Depending on the number of people joining, the character number each person can have is going to vary. I would say the max for now is 2 characters.
I'll do the job of playing our Monokuma in this and will give out a motive when it is time to murder.
Speaking of motives, murders, and freetimes, we'll have freetimes until a murder is caused. Now, in order to prevent it to go to first free time then murder, we'll have a set number of free times. I think 3 free times is enough (3 Night times and 3 Day times) until a motive is set and then a murder is caused.
Murders can go anyway you want. You can have your characters kill each other, it could be suicide; however, if you want to kill another's character or the reverse: ASK. Consent is always good bro.
Trials will go like the game more or less, there will be a debate until someone fucks up and then when the murderer is caught and then E-X-E-C-U-T-E-D. You could write out the execution or you could let me write it out for you. uwu After each trial, a different part of the setting shall be unlocked.
There are 6 chapters, 5 murders in each with the reveal of the mastermind in the 6th.
I guess this is all that is needed for rules and such. Now we need to know who's participating so we can deal out the characters! (which I put in a Google Drive Document, the choices suggested so far). Have a despairing good time!
