Darth Wiki / Demonic Despair

Demonic Despair is a Tumblr Roleplay Group based on the Danganronpa series of visual novels. It takes place inside an abandoned mansion, where eighteen (later, nineteen) upcoming Super High School Level students have been brought into the lair of a monster only known as the Oni. How will they fare against the mother of all monstrosities...and each other? Only time will tell.

Silas Linnaeus

SHSL Matchmaker

"There’s no need to worry.. whatever this is, there will be a way out, I’m positive."

True Love Always Finds A Way

Silas Florian Linnaeus is a Swiss matchmaker. Linnaeus began working in the matchmaking industry when he was 15 years old as an apprentice to sisters Sophie “Aphrodite” Frey and Mia “Venus” Frey, along with his late twin Linus Linnaeus, at the Aphrodite and Venus Love Sphere. Within the three years that Linnaeus has worked with Aphrodite and Venus, Linnaeus has introduced 48 couples that have happily married and another 13 couples that are currently engaged. Linnaeus is taking a break from matchmaking to attend Hope’s Peak Academy in Japan.

• Official Couple: with Oliver.
• Curtains Match the Window: Pink hair, pink eyes... even pink skin.
• Prince Charming: Likely the most charming student in the mansion.
• Leg Focus: Silas's legs are very long and slender- it's a running joke OOC.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Silas is the poster boy for this trope.

• Agent Peacock: Very effeminate and gay, but also very skilled with archery and pencak silat.
• Gold Makes Everything Shiny: While Silas likes to dress in a simplistic fashion while at school, he often wears extravagant gold jewelry when he's at home. It empowers him and he appreciates the aesthetic beauty of gold.

Nonbinary Students

Flora (Hanako Morigami)

SHSL Gardener

The chapter one killer, executed for the murder of Shion Kataoka.

• Abusive Parents: Flora's parents were a couple of corrupt bureaucrats who had no idea how to deal with an autistic child, so they resorted to abusive therapies and otherwise ignored her.
• Ax-Crazy: Or rather, bomb-crazy.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: Murder? Not really a big deal. Step on a plant? You're probably a terrible person.
• Broken Bird
• Creepy Child: She’s technically 15, but she sure looks like one.
• Cute Mute: Though her personality isn't cute at all, she's rather adorable from a physical standpoint. Also, she doesn't talk.
• Dark and Troubled Past: There's clearly a reason she hates humans. As a child her neglectful parents put her through abusive 'therapy' to deal with her autism until she ran away from them, no longer able to trust humans.
• Dark Secret: She's the deadly nightshade bomber, a wanted ecoterrorist.
• Earthy Barefoot Character
• Enfant Terrible
• Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon
• Flower Motifs: Everything about her revolves around them, including her alias.
• Hates Everyone Equally
• Heel–Face Door-Slam: Believed near the end of her life that her actions were wrong, and even realized that she was a bad person and said she wanted to do better. None of this, of course, saved her from execution.
• Humans Are Bastards: Firmly of this belief.
• Humans Are the Real Monsters: As opposed to...plants.
• Jade-Colored Glasses
• Jerkass: Flora is the opposite of nice no matter how you slice it.
• Kids Are Cruel
• Meaningful Name: Flora. Flower. Her real name, Hanako Morigami, means 'flower child of the forest god'.
• Misanthrope Supreme: Believes all humans deserve to die. She, being an honorary plant, is of course exempt.
• Obliviously Evil
• Prefers Going Barefoot: She finds shoes uncomfortable and likes it when her feet can touch the dirt.
• Sensory Overload: Prone to this, especially due to loud noises.
• The Unapologetic: While she realizes that her actions are bad, she never actually apologizes.

The Oni

The Oni

---

Demonic Despair includes these Tropes:

• Big Brother Is Watching: MonoOni sees all...until he wants to give you privacy. He's a demon, not a pervert.
• Body of the Week: Every chapter results in at least one death that the remaining students have to investigate.

• Cruel and Unusual Death: The executions, which are tailor-made for each culprit. Usually, they either mock their Super High School Level talent or exploit their deepest fears, ensuring their punishment is as terrifying as possible. Occasionally, a murder victim also dies in a particularly horrible manner.

• Death by Irony: Jenna Fitzgerald, after spending an entire prologue's worth of time teasing her hidden talent, gets it unceremoniously revealed as she is eaten by the Oni for breaking a rule.

• Everyone Is a Suspect: The objective of each trial is to find out who is the most suspicious.

• Mystery of the Week: Theres a new murder every two-three weeks.

• Teen Genius: All the students to some extent. They got accepted into Hope's Peak for being the best in their age bracket at what they do.

• Translation Convention: All characters are presumed to be speaking Japanese unless otherwise noted, even though the game is written in English.
• Win Your Freedom: The cast members win by identifying the mastermind. A killer wins by getting away with a murder. The mastermind's current victory condition is unknown, though it is likely 'never be identified'.
