A deserted, perpetually foggy Japanese town. Recently (specifically, around mid-to-late 2020), a collection of Hope's Peak Academy graduates came to the town, hoping to find a possible origin to Despair, and how it spread through the Tragedy. Their determination to get answers (and inability to return if they left) caused them to put up with the antics of the town’s 'inhabitants', even when a Killing Game was declared.

Everyone Went to School Together: The 'tourists' all graduated Hope's Peak Academy some time before the Tragedy hit in late 2016, and some of them were in the same classes or years together. However, they didn't all necessarily know each other at school, even if they'd been in the same year.

It’s so absolutely wonderful to be here~ I must remember to tell my tour guide consoler how much I wish for him to stand at the wrong end of a shooting gallery!

Noise follows the Japanese clown wherever he goes, a cacophony of jokes and gag props! He's rambunctious and wild, but there is a serious side to him.

Cloudcuckoolander: Odelios is talkative, goofy, and carries outrageous props. He's even considered wild and outrageous scenarios, like gorgons and ifrits.

Samson Miller

Ultimate Trader/Traitor

I didn't know I was attracting so much attention. That's cool, though, I don't mind being a hook-up or merchant for an organization like the Future Foundation. Maybe if I find something here, you can recommend me?

Is the killer of the second case.

Ax-Crazy: After being outed as the culprit.

Greed: He is motivated by either Chaos, or the amount of money he can make.
Hoist by His Own Petard: During his possible execution, Samson was given the choice of ignoring expensive items in exchange for a mechanical limb and his life. He couldn't do it, due to his Greed and hatred for rules. It costs him his life.

Quick Draw: Is quite fast with his gun, and plugging Monokuma.

Takeo Onishi

Ultimate Mercenary

I do my job, and I do it well, and that’s why I’m here. Seems I’m not the only one who’s here for that reason, however.

A very strong and serious Japanese free-lance mercenary. He has a grim determination, but has a tendency to follow rules, no matter how ridiculous.

Found frozen in place like a statue, dead.

The Comically Serious: Follows Odelios' ridiculous orders while managing to remain completely serious.
Face Death with Dignity: Despite being crippled and tortured, he ensures that Jin cannot hurt anyone else by forcing her to kill him, and gets the last word.

Hunk: He's very well-built, very muscular and as the description goes, he's rather easy on the eyes.
Just Following Orders: Always does what he's told to do. Odelios takes advantage of this by suggesting he do small and entertaining things, like bellyflop into the pool or calling him "Mister Perky Nipples".

Emanuel Salmuera

Ultimate Private Investigator/Bête Noire

My title is the Ultimate Bête Noire now, and don’t you damn well forget it. Tuh.

Alcohol Hic: "Shut up already!...Hic!"

Despair Event Horizon: Falls off it completely during the third trial, fully succumbing to Despair.
Drinking on Duty: Drinks throughout the trials.
Gratuitous Spanish: Often speaks Spanish.
Hair-Trigger Temper: To name a few moments: he loudly shouted at Odelios, Anzu, Isaac and Hara to keep their mouths shut. He also punched Ishiku, giving him a bloody nose.
Hero Antagonist: He stands against Despair, but his attitude is one of the biggest things that makes it hard for the cast to gt along. Especially when the prospect of trying to help the Monokubs comes up. He drops the 'Hero' part.
Jerkass: Is the most unlikeable member of the tourists.
Jerkass Has a Point: He's not entirely wrong to complain about the others focusing more on relationships and joking around than trying to get answers in Penjar.
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Completely falls into Despair at the end of the third trial, and quickly plans to escape from his execution and start a new Tragedy. Taro stops that, however.
Kick the Dog: Emanuel tends to strike others when they argue back. When he falls to Despair, his first plan is to kill the people he personally dislikes, then anyone that survived the Tragedy alongside his murder victim, then start a second Tragedy while blaming her for it.
Kill It with Water: Drowned Monokuma when the bear tries to go into the hot tub.
Meaningful Rename: Obviously, Emanuel changed his ultimate title from Private Investigator to Bête Noire (which is French for Black Beast), but also defines into a person or thing that one particularly dislikes.
Off with His Head!: Courtesy of a Displacer Beast.
The Rival: Hates Fiora, mainly because she (a graduate who seems content to make bad films) survived the Tragedy when other Ultimates with more helpful talents (like the rest of his class) didn't.
Would Hit a Girl: Hits Fiora several times. The last time actually helps snap her out of the stupor she was in at the time.

Distracted by the Sexy: Aka is normally more interested in Hikari, and other women, when things are going on.

What the Hell, Hero?: He calls out the group during the trial for arguing instead of actually trying to find the killer.

Monophanie / Fannie

The pink-colored girl of the group, "wearing" a bikini outfit. Seems to be a doormat, but comes back with a vengeance.

Buxom Beauty Standard: Her human self has very large breasts, to the surprise (and enjoyment) of several others.
Defector from Decadence: Becomes human again and joins the Visitors.
Innocent Fanservice Girl: After becoming human, while still wearing just a bikini.
Only Sane Man: She's usually the voice of reason or compassion with her crazy brothers.
Vomit Indiscretion Shot: When there's blood and death, or strong mentions of it, she tends to lose whatever she was... eating?

Monosuke / Suke

Ultimate Preparation/Perversion

The orange-colored cunning, conniving one of the bunch. He is determined to get fan service and money for Penjar, and comes off as highly haughty.

He's stepped on by a yeti, after Monokid mistook him for Monodam.

Co-Dragons: With Monokid until he's killed.
Dirty Old Man: He wants more fan service, and thus tries to convince the ladies to be more sexy.
Funetik Aksent: Youse hear his inflections, don'tcha?

Monokid / Kidd

The blue-colored foul-mouthed rock star of the group. Violent and rude and ever-cursing, he likes aggressive people and manners.

Cain and Abel: Is actively trying to kill Monodam.
The Dragon: Serves as this to Monokuma, as his most loyal (and murderously psychotic) child.
Killing Intent: Tried to murder Monodam during the second and fourth executions, as well as during their time in the North Plaza.
Sir Swears-a-Lot: All the censored time.

Monodam / Dam

THAT-IS-HOW-YOU-GET-ALONG, AFTER-ALL.

The green-colored monotoned and stoic cub of the bunch. Something about him wants to understand human emotions. Prone to getting hurt, mostly due to Monokid's abuse/assassination attempts.

Machine Monotone: SPEAKS-LIKE-THIS-CONSTANTLY. Even. As. A. Human.
Odd Friendship: With Drake, relying on him to survive when Monokid is gunning for him.
The Stoic: Very quiet and calm throughout most scenarios, even when being attacked, Monokuma being murdered, and while almost dying.
Token Good Teammate: Appears to be this amongst the Kubs.

Monocrow

A mechanical bird and the intended host of Penjar. He can keep watch over the city, though there's not much he's allowed to say.

Is destroyed by the fifth culprit.

Unexpected Character: No one had reason to think another host creature would appear.
- This extends into meta knowledge as well: who thought a fangame character would show up?

The Entity of Chaos

A mysterious person present in Penjar with the Graduates. They seem to want to bring about another wave of Despair on the world, and had a mole delivered to the town to be planted as a 'seed'.

Big Bad: Possibly this for Mists of Penjar.
The Chessmaster: Claims to themselves that everyone is their Unwitting Pawn in bringing about a new wave of chaos and despair.
The Man Behind the Man: Possibly to the Despair that ran the bloodbath-style killing game where Fiora was the only survivor.
