Danganronpa: Hope's Requiem is a Discord-based roleplay group.
The story follows a group of 18 Hope's Peak Academy students in the year 2132, 120 years after the events of ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc''. Years into the future society has nearly rebuilt itself from the tragedy and Monokuma has become a worldwide terror symbol.
The new Hope's Peak Academy approved it's first official school trip collaboration "cruise of a lifetime" in the form of a raffle sponsored by entertainment company Charon Enterprises. 18 lucky, randomly selected students were selected to embark on the cruise but not everything went as planned. A few days after boarding, a bomb went off in the lower levels of the ship, forcing the students into escape pods. When they awoke, they found themselves in a new killing game in a mysterious, underwater facility. Not only does terror symbol Monokuma make his reappearance but also 4 new Monokuma-type robots!
The game was shut down on April 8th, 2018 following player inactivity and behind the scenes complications.

** ''"It also helps to perform a gregorian chant over the vase you'd like to use, sprinkling it with a light layer of cyanide. You may think that would harm the plants, but in fact, it reacts with the pig urine to make an excellent fertilizer.''"

->''"To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Trains and Locomotives. The concept is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of how the train moves along the tracks most of the duties will go over a typical stationmaster’s head. There’s also a conductor’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into their train characterisation- their personal philosophy draws heavily from Stationmaster Tama literature, for instance. The passengers understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these railroads, to realize that they’re not just another method of transportation- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Trains & Locomotives truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in a train’s existential catchphrase “Chugga Chugga Choo Choo,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Conductors and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Matthew Murray’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Train & Locomotive tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid."''

* CharacterTics: Yuuto has a habit of covering his mouth with his hand or placing a hand on his chin as he speaks.
* FirstNameBasis: From the beginning, Yuuto calls Faustina by her first name alone. Everyone else he uses their surname with -san or -kun honorifics.

** He will, however, touch others if he's trying to comfort them.

** To Kyaputen Kit ''"..I'm disappointed in you, Kit-san. As caretaker, I thought you would be more on top of the cleanliness of the facility..."''

* SharpDressedMan: Yuuto is almost always wearing his Stationmaster uniform, complete with undershirt, vest, tie, and suit jacket.
* MistakenForGay: ''"A-Alright, Shima, you better not get any ideas--you're not about to be fuckin' parking your train in my station, got it!?"''

* LoveTriangle: Yuuto was a part of a Love Triangle established at the start of Chapter 2. He confessed his love to Ryouta, but Ryouta was dating Kindness. Even still, Ryouta considered Yuuto's feelings and did not decline his confession. In late Chapter 2, Ryouta turned Yuuto down formally...Right before they went to trial for the murder Ryouta thought he committed.
* MoodDissonance: Yuuto has an extremely bad habit of saying morbid things with a smile on his face. He doesn't seem very phased by blood or gore. In chapter 1, he petted Gemma's severed head while carrying out a conversation!
* BestFriend: Alan and Faustina are Yuuto's best friends and the people he trusts the most. He shared his room with them both (at different times)and has lived with both Alan and Faustina, a symbol of his trust instead of his usual paranoia.
* HomoeroticSubtext: "Alan… We’re partners, right?"
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Yuuto claimed to be straight, but also directly confessed his love to Ryouta. Even after this event, he continued to tell others he was straight, saying that Ryouta was "Special" reminded him of his childhood friend Yida.
* SkewedPriorities: Yuuto responded to Misa passed out in the pharmacy surrounded by pills. He showed mild concern for the situation, checking her temperature but nothing about her seemed really off until in her deluded state she commented that his hair was dumb. His hair was dumb?

Ryouta began dating Kindness in the middle of Chapter 1 but in late Chapter 1 Yuuto confessed his love to him.

* DesperatelyCravesAffection: This was Ryouta's excuse for his actions with Yuuto. He didn't actually love Yuuto, but he desperately craved affection and wanted to be loved. He only realized that this feeling was not love later in Chapter 2, though.

Danganronpa: Hope's Requiem is a Discord-based roleplay group.
The story follows a group of 18 Hope's Peak Academy students in the year 2132, 120 years after the events of ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc''. Years into the future society has nearly rebuilt itself from the tragedy and Monokuma has become a worldwide terror symbol.
The new Hope's Peak Academy approved it's first official school trip collaboration "cruise of a lifetime" in the form of a raffle sponsored by entertainment company Charon Enterprises. 18 lucky, randomly selected students were selected to embark on the cruise but not everything went as planned. A few days after boarding, a bomb went off in the lower levels of the ship, forcing the students into escape pods. When they awoke, they found themselves in a new killing game in a mysterious, underwater facility. Not only does terror symbol Monokuma make his reappearance but also 4 new Monokuma-type robots!
The game was shut down on April 8th, 2018 following player inactivity and behind the scenes complications.

The concept is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of how the train moves along the tracks most of the duties will go over a typical stationmaster’s head. There’s also a conductor’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into their train characterisation- their personal philosophy draws heavily from Stationmaster Tama literature, for instance. The passengers understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these railroads, to realize that they’re not just another method of transportation- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Trains & Locomotives truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in a train’s existential catchphrase “Chugga Chugga Choo Choo,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Conductors and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Matthew Murray’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Train & Locomotive tattoo. And no, you cannot see it.

* MoodDissonance: Yuuto has an extremely bad habit of saying morbid things with a smile on his face. He doesn't seem very phased by blood or gore. In chapter 1, he petted Gemma's severed head while carrying out a conversation!
* BestFriend: Alan and Faustina are Yuuto's best friends and the people he trusts the most. He shared his room with them both (at different times)and has lived with both Alan and Faustina, a symbol of his trust instead of his usual paranoia.
* HomoeroticSubtext: "Alan… We’re partners, right?"
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Yuuto claimed to be straight, but also directly confessed his love to Ryouta. Even after this event, he continued to tell others he was straight, saying that Ryouta was "Special" reminded him of his childhood friend Yida.
* SkewedPriorities: Yuuto responded to Misa passed out in the pharmacy surrounded by pills.

->''“I'm Reikai! Reikai Kaetsu, Ultimate VR Superstar! I...I know this probably isn't what you were expecting, but I hope we can have a ton of fun together, anywaaaaaaaaaaay~!”''
Reikai is the Ultimate VR Superstar. She's an online pop idol who uses a cute, thin, anime girl as her singing persona. She's self conscious about her appearance thanks to the idol industry so her real life persona wears a VR Headset almost 24/7 and hides her face.
----
* IdolSinger: Her online persona is a cute singing anime catgirl.
* CatGirl: Even without her persona, she still dresses in a feline fashion.
* TeamChef: Often cooks meals for the entire group... which are entirely too large, but it's the thought that counts.
* BigEater: When Reikai cooks, she makes a lot more food than everyone needs. She also eats a lot more than she needs.
* BlushSticker: Reikai's VR helmet contains permanent big blush circles painted on.
* FauxYay: Reikai feigned homosexuality when she dated Pion/Malory, when she is, in truth, straight, due to her being scared of hurting their feelings by saying "no" to dating them.
* TheShutIn: Reikai, despite her friendly nature, shut herself in her home for years on end during her pop star career, out of fear of losing popularity if her true appearance was revealed to the world.
* Escapism: Reikai tends to try and avoid stresses if she can, or escape a painful situation through escapism. Using her VR helmet is her most common way, but she has tried this in a more dangerous and harmful way when she set out to pretend Kindness was her lover, which backfired.

* ConspiracyTheorist: ''"I DON'T LIKE THEM PUTTING CHEMICALS IN THE WATER MAKING THE FRIGGING FROGS GAY!"''
* CharacterBlog: Riko canonically has a blog that she shares her conspiracies on. Her creator also made a Riko-themed tumblr as a joke, but it isn't canon.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: "I left all of my speed on the boat." Riko is implied to have some sort of Attention Deficit Disorder.
* VocalDissonance: Subverted. Riko was jokingly described as having the voice of Timmy Turner. Unfortunately for her, it fits her perfectly.
* SirSwearsalot: "Fuck off, Robitch!""PION SHUT YOUR FUCK IMMEDIATELY!" "Bitch, why you on the floor?" "Larry I will break your kneecaps I swear to fucking dick shit" "Sup, dipshits." "I have no idea what the fuck is going on right now.""Oh, that... Shit's fucked, y'know?" "KINDNESS SAID THE FUCK!"

* TheNapoleon: Clearly.
* BrattyHalfPint: Riko is 5'1" and at times, a total brat.

* SecretRelationship: It was revealed after [[spoiler: Riko's death]] that she and Ryo had been in a relationship. They didn't tell anyone for reasons unknown.

Karry is the Ultimate Psychologist.
----
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends:
* PunnyName: Look out, she's got a gun! (Does not actually have a gun.)
* PsychoPsychologist: Karry's skills as a psychologist are extremely questionable. While she does make some correct diagnostics, she also told Ryouta he was insane for his mental illnesses, causing him to break down. Karry has also made a number of out-there assumptions of her patients, despite not properly prying into their past in her Psychoanalysis sessions to unearth the detection of such illnesses.
** Not to mention, despite talking about the importance of client confidentiality earlier, Karry released all of her Psychoanalysis notes to the public in the Virtual Messenger during Despair Disease chapter 3. While she was currently under the effects of her disease, she discussed releasing them with Ryo before while she was not sick.

* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: Depending on the artist.
* SailorFuku: Her standard outfit is a cropped seifuku shirt with boys' uniform pants altered into shorts. Also counts as a {{Custom Uniform}}.

!! Danganronpa: Hope's Requiem contains examples of:
* HangingJudge: Monokuma and occasionally The Monokubs.
* ChildrenForcedToKill: Danganronpa and by extension this roleplay focuses around the a group students forced into a closed space and told to kill each other in order to escape.
* PublicExecution: Chapter 1's the Gallows motive publically executed the cast's family members every hour and all of the blackened executions count as this.
* CastFullOfGay: The game's cast became home to an incredible amount of gay/queer shipping that became the butt of jokes among the group.
** Ryouta, Kindness, and Yuuto became involved in a love triangle chapter 2 with Kindness and Ryouta beginning to ship chapter 1.
** Reikai and Pion (Malory) began dating chapter 1. However, in chapter 2, it was revealed Reikai was actually straight.

** Masaki is canonically gay.
** Riko has been canonically bisexual since Chapter one. She's been attracted to both male and female cast members and has canonically had a girlfriend before the game.
* DrugsAreBad: Since Chapter 2, weed has been a mayor catalyst in certain events happening:
** Kindness ate some of Reikai's medical marijuana in the form of brownies in chapter 2. This, when paired with Reikai deciding to confess to Kindness in private, desiring to pretend he was her lover, ended up spiraling out of control, to the point where Ryouta almost killed her, after Reikai tried to keep the under-the-influence Kindness in her room to avoid Ryouta learning he had gotten high.
** Riko got yelled at by Yuuto because she tried to manipulate Misa into giving her drugs.
** Riko was later lured to her death by Ryouta through the promise of marijuana. It is also presumed that Ryouta himself got addicted to a drug at some point, in addition.
* ObviousRulePatch: When Ethan was unexpectedly awoken from his Stasis Pod in chapter 2, Monokuma immediately swooped in to save the day (and integrity of his Killing Game), banning Ethan from telling the students any knowledge of the facility he might know. He also declared Ethan a new addition to the Killing Game, placing him under the same set of rules of the other students.
