12	Danganronpa: United By Love (also known as [=Azulronpa: United By Love=]) is an upcoming SpiritualSuccessor of DarthWiki/DanganronpaAbyssalFate, being a fan roleplay run on Discord by @/{{somepersonnamedcaloy}}/[=AzulStryer=], with the plot now being a simple AlternateTimeline CrisisCrossover where characters from other mediums are actually native to the [[TheVerse Danganonpa Universe]]. Unlike most Danganronpas, The usual Hope Vs. Despair theme is now replaced by [[ThePowerOfLove Love]] Vs. [[ThePowerOfHate Hatred]], with [[LoveFreak Ally]] from VideoGame/PuyoPuyoChronicle as a key part of the storyline.
13
14	InAWorld where characters from Franchise/{{Danganronpa}} and [[CrossOver other works]] live together, things have changed. [[HopeBringer Makoto Naegi]] has known the cast from VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc [[ChildhoodFriends since childhood]], the Future Foundation [[AdaptationalEarlyAppearance is formed much earlier and is a frequent part of daily life]] and so much more... everything changed after The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History, with the impact being felt even with society being mostly rebuilt.
15
16	%% 10 months after the events of [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc the first killing game]], 16 participants wake up in the Verklempt Isles to find out from [[KillerTeddyBear Monokuma]] that within 3 days, they will be forced to participate in a killing game backed by the Future Foundation. The final two people to wake up and find out about this are [[LoveFreak Ally Aika]] and [[GodlikeGamer Hanaada Kashihara]], who become caught up in the chaos and- wait... hold on.

19
20	%% '''[[OhCrap The Future Foundation is hosting the Killing Game?!]]''' Many questions are raised now... why is the Future Foundation hosting this game? Who is this odd girl that woke up with a key member from the Future Foundation? Why are they on an island? Alas, those questions might not be answered for the time being...for the priority lies on one importancy: Survival.
21
22	%% The stage is set for another despair-inducing... or should we say ''hate''-inducing killing environment, with game, backed by the trials and limits of love being put to everyone's tests!
23
24	Because the hoster is utterly serious about making United By Love an ImprovedSecondAttempt from DarthWiki/DanganronpaAbyssalFate, this won't be opened any time soon. [[labelnote:The reasons for this as of writing are:]] Ruby Rose [[SpotlightStealingSquad had too much focus regarding her amnesia subplot to the point Abyssal Fate's killing game revolved around it]], [[CharacterDerailment Makoto Naegi's characterization was assassinated to that of]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist a paranoid extremist and murderer]], alongside the plot being too linear to the point of {{Railroading}}, among other things. [[/labelnote]]
25
26	Additionally, updates with the Discord Client will be used to it's advantage as much as possible. Some elements from the actual games may be implemented. The thread system will also be used when it comes to flashbacks and [[JigsawPuzzlePlot lore-relevant scenes]] as well.
27
28	A Demo phase is currently being planned to gauge player interest and see any further details that need to be ironed out.

41	!Tropes in Danganronpa: United By Love include:
42	%% * AlternateTimeline Of VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc. While the Killing Game itself went [[InSpiteOfANail almost exactly the same as in canon]], there are are many changes to the timeline:
43	%% ** [[AdaptationOriginConnection Every single participant knew each other before the Killing Game]], given that they were the ChildhoodFriends of Makoto Naegi and each other.
44	%% ** [[DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation Leon is the first victim, while Sayaka is the first culprit]].
45	%% ** Due to the host's adoration of Kiyotaka Ishimaru, [[SparedByTheAdaptation only Hifumi Yamada died in the third chapter, and the Ultimate Moral Compass went on to become one of the survivors]].
46	%% * AdaptationalVillainy:
47	%% ** [[AvertedTrope Averted entirely]]. Despite initial setups from [[DarthWiki/DanganronpaAbyssalFate the canned storyline that inspired this roleplay]], where an alternate version of Makoto bombed the Future Foundation's sister organization and instigated the Killing Game, the Makoto in this roleplay [[TruerToTheText remains true to his heroic nature]]. He creates a virtual world with the intention of helping restore individuals to their former selves, even towards one person who may have betrayed him in the past. While there are hints of a betrayal, Makoto's motivations are altruistic, aiming to undo despair. However, circumstances lead to a case [[AndIMustScream where he's forced to watch the Killing Game]] with little to no interference.
48	%% ** Because of [[VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls Haiji Towa's]] [[{{Squick}} much-derided pedophila]] being omitted entirely, this gives more opportunities to focus on his fundamentally messed up [[DirtyCoward and cowardly qualities]]. While he still has no qualms with killing innocent people, his [[TheFundamentalist belief that the participants deserve to die]] and tendencies to put others down for disagreeing with him only serves to make him more vile. [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony Compared to Tsumugi Shirogane, the 2nd Mastermind]] who's also running the game solely [[ItAmusedMe for her own twisted entertainment]], Haiji flat out despises the participants in general.
49	%% ** Tsumugi Shirogane [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony was already vile enough in her native game]], but her emphasis on entertainment to a [[CannotTellFictionFromReality disconcerting degree]] only elevates her. She [[CloudCuckooLander lives in her own world that's detached from societal norms]], and [[PlayedForHorror that's what makes her dangerous]]. Her involvement in the [[DeadlyGame Killing Game]] as the third mastermind isn't because she wants to perpetuate entertainment for the masses, it's because she wants to perpetuate [[ItAmusedMe her own twisted entertainment because she sees the participants as tools for a fun time]].
50	%% * BigBadDuumvirate: [[TragicVillain The 1st Mastermind]], [[TheFundamentalist Haiji Towa]], and [[CloudCuckooLander Tsumugi Shirogane]] control Monokuma in the Killing Game, and by extension, are the main hosts for United By Love. [[TeethClenchedTeamwork Their varying goals are the one reason they aren't entirely united]].
51	%% * BreakingOldTrends:
52	%% ** The other characters discover they are in a killing game first, with Ally and Hanaada, the two characters closest to being the primary protagonists of the Killing Game, become the last ones to awaken and realize this.
53	%% ** Unlike prior masterminds who had [[ForTheEvulz little to no reason]] for running the Killing Game outside of perpetuating despair, the main one is a TragicVillain who's not happy with the game itself [[WellIntentionedExtremist but feels like they have to run it]].
54	%% ** Let's be real here... were there three masterminds in any prior games or roleplays?
55	%% * CentralTheme: [[ThePowerOfLove Love]] Vs. [[ThePowerOfHate Hatred]].
56	%% * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}:
57	%% ** Tsumugi Shirogane, to a [[PlayedForHorror concerning degree]]. She doesn't seem to operate on either BlackAndWhiteMorality and GreyAndGrayMorality, she has a... very unique [[BlueAndOrangeMorality morality that is essentially "Anything that entertains me is amazing, anything that bores me must die"]]. Her constant yammerings and connections of fiction [[CannotTellFictionFromReality consume her to a point that fiction may as well be real in her eyes]], and the only reason the Future Foundation kept her around despite her worringly quirky nature is because she produced stellar results in the rebuilding of society.
58	%% ** Ally Aika, due to her LoveFreak tendencies and her tendency to connect everything to love occasionally makes people uncomfortable. Thankfully, she'll tone herself down unlike the above-mention person who finds herself too consumed with what she loves.
59	%% DramaticIrony: By the end of the Demo Phase, and Chapter 1 of the main game, the players themselves know Hanaada is the mastermind of the Killing Game, but none of their characters do. [[WordOfGod Azul's reason for revealing Hanaada's major status]] is because he figured that [[CaptainObviousReveal it would've been obvious anyways.]]
60	%% Foil:
61	* NamedByTheAdaptation: [[VideoGame/PuyoPuyo Ally]] is given the surname Aika, [[MeaningfulName which is also related to love]].
62	* OriginalGeneration: Hanaada Kashihara is entirely original to [[CrisisCrossover United By Love]], being one of the mod characters to prevent the investigation and trial from getting derailed, alongside having another character to interact with.
63	* PinballProtagonist: To alleviate concerns of SpotlightStealingSquad potentially taking place, Ally and Hanaada respectively won't have too huge of a role in the plot until the 6th Island Trial. While they will be active players in the Killing Game, major relevance will be saved for that chapter.
64	%% * DrivingQuestion:
65	%% ** Why is the Future Foundation, an organization dedicated to making lives better, hosting a [[DeadlyGame Killing Game]]?
66	%% ** For the characters themselves, Why is Makoto Naegi assisting in the Killing Game, when his priority would be to save the participants?
