Haruko Maeda
Haruko Maeda
Ultimate Unicyclist
The, uh... interesting... woman... What the fuck even is this girl?! She's—Okay. Okay. So she's constantly laughing and she's got the most horrifying fucking look on her face and- is that a fucking unicycle? Is- Okay, yeah, that's definitely— Would that even be counted as one? It's got 18 fucking wheels. But she's a unicyclist? Okay- Just- (Just don't question it at this point.)- Cheshire Cat Grin: Combined with Haruko's perma-grin and her attitude towards death and loud, boisterous attitude, it's easy for her smile to come across as disturbing.
- Cry Laughing: Tends to laugh maniacally, regardless of how she really feels.
- Hereditary Hairstyle: Subverted. Her siblings both have long, straight black hair- and Haruko's is bright white and insanely messy.
- Improbable Hairstyle: There's more hair than girl.
- Prematurely Grey-Haired: The "premature" is debatable, as she's as old as the universe itself, but Haruko's hair has turned pure white from stress, though her siblings both have black hair.
- Slapstick
- Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter: Her entire relationship with Komaeda.
- Stepford Smiler: Physically incapable of stopping.
- Tearful Smile: Naturally, whenever she cries.
Kana Oshiro
Kana Oshiro
Ultimate Tinkerer
An brilliant girl with sticky fingers and a mind that works at a million miles an hour, Kana is a friendly young genius. Openly warm towards everyone, Kana is quick to trust and quick to befriend, more than happy to reach out to other people and find some silver lining to whatever situation she finds herself in. Kana is an optimistic and sunny kind of girl with a lot of love to pass around, even if her insane book-smarts and tinkering fingers can be a bit startling at first.- Allergic to Routine: Kana has a short attention span and was seen hopping from thing to thing—it was actually pretty rare to see her doing the same thing twice, unless you count eating or writing in her notebook.
- Androids Are People, Too: She was incredibly stubborn about insisting on robots being people as well, and made it a point to treat all of the robotic members of the cast as such. She got upset at Arisa for forgetting Eisaku's name, and gets snappy when people consider robots and androids as lesser.
- Artificial Limbs: Kana's right leg is a prosthetic limb that she built and tricked out herself.
- Cope by Creating: Whenever Kana got particularly stressed out, she tended to either brainstorm in her notebook or go find something to fidget with, in some cases disassembling and tinkering with her prosthetic leg.
- Dying Alone: When Kana died in Chapter 3, she died without anyone who could help her situation and recalled dying without her family being nearby.(She's dying, anyways. It's not even worth the fight.)(At least she can die remembering her family that loves her.)
- First-Name Basis: Kana always called everyone by their given name, honestly.
- Genius Sweet Tooth: Kana carried candy on her person all the time, tucked away into her tool belt!
- Good with Numbers: Kana deeply enjoys math and does it to de-stress often when she's in the afterlife.
- Hereditary Homosexuality: Kana is very openly bi, and she mentioned that her entire family fell into the LGBT+ spectrum in some way.
- Idiot Hair: It curls into a heart!
- I Want My Mommy!: Kana cried for her mothers multiple times during the round.
- Odd Friendship: Kana was one of the only people to get along with Arisa.
- Precision F-Strike: Despite the fact that she never swears and is embarrassed by the act of doing so, Kana did get upset and swear at Monozumi a single time in-game."Yeah, hey, hi mousey-mouse! You're very very cute and this is real real fun, can I stop dancing for a second so I can put my fucking leg on, please?'
- Prone to Tears: Kana cried multiple times over the course of the first three chapters, and continued to cry a fair amount in the afterlife, as well.
- The Social Expert: When Taiki and Tomie were attempting to figure out how to make the remaining cast members get along, they came to Kana to ask her how to talk to people, and she gave them some well-needed advice.
Marina Constantinou
Marina Constantinou
Ultimate Nautical Cartographer
Avast ye! Rina's an energetic young lassie with a passion fer sailin' an' a deep love fer cash. She often finds herself in trouble due t' her curiosity an' inability to give up. Harborin' a hatred for bein' judged fer her outward appearance an' the way she speaks, Rina wants t' be seen as who she is—nothin' more, nothin' less. Despite her clearly grey morals, Rina loves makin' friends with all sorts o' folk... But that doesn't necessarily mean she trusts 'em. Watch yer back, aye?- Accent Interest: Her accent earns her the title of “pirate” from Keiji and Arisa.
- Allergic to Routine: She gets bored of being dead shortly after entering the afterlife.
- Challenge Seeker: Rina actively seeks out competition, and is easily dragged into petty challenges as a result of her hubris.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: She may or may not have made a career out of this.
- Claustrophobia: A motive forcing the cast to sleep in a cramped tent together is part of what pushes her to kill Creed.
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: She refuses a blanket from Imako after losing to him at snail racing, claiming that she needs to earn it herself.
- Fish out of Water: This pirate was slapped down right in the middle of a desert; the first area of the game was Wild West-themed.
- The Gimmick: Rina refuses to speak like a normal human being, instead electing to talk like a movie-style pirate 24/7.
- Karmic Thief: Stealing from the rich, baby! It may be for mostly selfish reasons, but she’s still doing her part to knock those wealthy bastards down a peg.
- Lethal Chef: Please do not let her anywhere near your kitchen.
- Lovable Rogue: Sure, she steals and lies, but she does it for some arguably honorable causes—supporting her mother’s life and protecting the ocean she loves.
- Misplaced Accent: She’s altered her speech to include the quirks and lingo unique to a particular brand of British sailors, despite her Greek heritage.
- Messy Hair: She’s used to the wind and saltwater messing it up, so she finds it unnecessary to take care of it in any way.
- Nature Lover: She’s deeply enamored with the ocean, so much that she’s swindled corporations looking to taint it.
- Out-of-Character Moment: While usually prone to going an unspeakable amount of time without bathing, Rina takes a 42 hour long shower while Tomie #14 is getting deep fried.
- Unkempt Beauty: Despite her unwillingness to brush her hair or shower (except once for 42 hours straight), Rina doesn’t look half bad.
- Weapons of Their Trade: Rina sharpens a sword from a Ren Faire blacksmith’s shop, parading it around on her hip and later using it to kill Creed.
- You Say Tomato: Keiji frequently adopts words and phrases that Rina says as a way of mocking her.
Taiki Hanabusa
Taiki Hanabusa
Ultimate Drummer
Ultimate-led band de la glace's drummer! Taiki's a casual person, although more than a little stiff—never seems to smile unless he hides it behind a hand, squirming out of most physical contact, and otherwise has a sort of "uh—yeah. whatever." vibe to him. However, he tends to lose that awkward cool very quickly, bristling or sounding irritated at best and having fits of anger at worst. Notably, most of this lashing out seems to be a response to something…- Character Development: As the round progresses and he starts to trust in the people around him more, he also becomes more open about his feelings. This is actually intensified when said people end up dying - he'd sooner keep those he still can alive rather than wallow in his own guilt.
- Determinator: Refuses to stay down when he's hit rock bottom; this applies both as the reason he joined de la glace and eventually gained Ultimate status, and as the reason he actively tries not to focus on the fact that a lot of his friends within the killing game are dead in favor of refusing to forget what they were like prior.
- Exhausted Eyebags
- Fashionable Asymmetry: Wears earcuffs on his right ear only, and his socks are different lengths.
- Fiery Redhead: Downplayed. While he can have a short fuse, he's normally not one to actually yell at people when he's irritated.
- Fond Memories That Could Have Been: Comes up briefly after Kana's death, given that despite the effect it had on him they'd only known each other for a little over a week.(Hell, maybe if they actually had more time to spend together—)(...)(...It's not gonna do him any good thinking like that, he knows this, but he can't help but wonder if that's what makes it sting so much.)
- Friendship Trinket: Namely, the friendship bracelet he wears; it's part of a set he wears with his band-mates.
- Heroic BSoD: Goes through these multiple times in response to the killing game; namely, in Chapter 3 when Kana dies, in Chapter 4 when his motive invokes said death, Chapter 5 when Imako dies (in this case, it doesn't help that the state he's in reminds Taiki too much of Kana) and in Chapter 6 when it's revealed that they'll never be free from this hell.
- It's All My Fault: Falls into this line of thinking in regards to Chapter 3 once he realizes that he was one of the two people who had last seen Kana (and technically Eisaku) alive.
- Although he tries to accept that there was nothing he could have done, it's still to a point where during Chapter 4's motive his own nightmare involves him having murdered Kana in a similar fashion to 4K1R4.
- Properly Paranoid: In earlier chapters, he's more withdrawn around people due to the automatic assumption that everyone around him is capable of murder. Although he grows out of this later on, especially when multiple cases involve no malice on the killer's part if they aren't outright unintentional, he is still proven right.
- Smart People Wear Glasses: He's of the more participative people in trials, speculated some of his peers' involvement in the killing game long before it became relative, and wears glasses.
- Talking to Plants: According to Word of God.
- Trying Not to Cry: Generally hates being vulnerable around people, so the first couple of times he'd been brought to tears, he'd tried to keep it in even without people around. This goes right out the window during Chapter 3's case, and again during Chapter 5's.
Tomie Kanda
Tomie Kanda
Ultimate Geneticist
- "I am Tomie Kanda."
- Artificial Human: A clone. Or rather, clones.
- Back from the Dead: A major mystery with Tomie, what with the implication that she's the nameless first victim.```Taiki:``` But do you remember what they looked like? 'cause none of us know, apparently.```Mito:``` Either same height or taller than me, feminine-presenting, brown hair, possibly darker...
- Backup Clone
- [[spoiler: Become a Real Boy: The final Tomie, or rather, Meika - in a sense, at least. She has an identity, but one which she rejects, and works to detach herself from.She's not going to hide behind the name and face of some dead girl.]]
- Clones Are People, Too: Despite their treatment and role in the story, each Tomie is her own person through and through. This causes quite a bit of dissonance; normally they're able to take notes to blend each other together, but as they don't have access to a journal or paper of any kind, there's no way for them to do this, and no basis to go off of.
- Creating Life: Well, she's not the Ultimate Geneticist for no reason. She's the anonymous source of great strides in the field of genetic engineering, just working under the names of the universities and organizations she's doing her work with at the time.
- Expendable Clone: The only purpose of the Tomies are to carry on the role until they inevitably die and pass it on to the next one. They don't even get slots on the roster, or even recognized in any way in the killing game, beyond the first one.
- Speculative Fiction
Hanae (Ultimate Agent)
Hanae (Agent)
Ultimate [Secret] Agent
While her appearance and behaviour matches one Tohru Shihori, Ultimate Analyst, justcatching sight of the gun on her waist makes it clear she isn't who the public thinks she is— Tohru Shihori was simply a cover for who is actually the Ultimate Agent, someone who lives off of only a title, no names or story attached.Danganronpa K.O.: Bizarro Bravado contains these tropes:
- Call-Back: During Chapter 5's trial, Taiki is silenced when he asks questions about Komaeda... by a Google Translate voice saying "Bazinga." over him, much like when Jouya (played by the same person) had discovered the mastermind's identity two rounds before.
- Chekhov's Gag: Haruki gives Akira a hot dog. Because Akira assumes it's a gift, he refuses to eat it and either holds it in his hand or keeps it in his bag. It's later found at the Chapter 3 crime scene.
- Cry into Chest: Happens between Taiki and Imako after Chapter 3's trial, when Imako finds Taiki breaking down in the tavern.
- Taiki then returns the favor after Chapter 4's trial, when he and Haruki find Imako in a similar state at the Meet-And-Greetyard.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Oops!
- In Chapter 1, the first Tomie (of the killing game) has her head shoved into a fryer, and is discovered in a state that makes her physically impossible to identify. Mito's execution is also brutal, given that he is essentially papercutted to death while suffering from the effects of a poison.
- Chapter 2's murderer, Misuzu, is forced to fight an army of dummies off - and right as she manages to take down the last one, she's crushed to death by Monozumi's mech.
- In Chapter 3, Kana is cut open and eviscerated under the false pretense of her organs failing, and is actually awake for a good portion of this. Then, after watching this happen, Eisaku has to slowly feel his body and senses shut down as the second Tomie uses his tablet as a weapon against 4K1R4. 4K1R4 himself is executed via... furby vore.
- In Chapter 4, Keiji is also burned to a crisp, but this comes after being caught in a explosion caused by being shoved into a forge while having aerosol cans on him. Andrew's execution is (tba when i can actually figure out what happened i have no reading comprehension skills i can get away with this for now cause this is a niche rp page right).
- In Chapter 5, Haruto's death is cruel in that they're murdered by Jim Jim taking hold of their brother and squishing their face in. Imako, however, is quite literally swung at with a lamppost so hard that he splits into half, and is actually consciously bleeding out for several minutes after. Haruki, after having to find out mid-trial that he was responsible for the above, is thrown into a grinder and mashed to pieces.
- Despite the Plan:
- After the events of Chapter 2, Tomie decides to use some of the technology in her locker to make buzzers for people that allow them to send distress signals when they're in danger. Both Kana and Keiji use them when they're about to be murdered, but Tomie gets there too late both times; in fact, in trying to navigate through the fire caused by the explosion in Chapter 4, she ends up getting herself killed as well.
- Imako suggests to Taiki and Hanae in Chapter 5 that should any of them get hurt, Phoebe could alert the others, since she's good at finding people and is smart. However, since she can't fly out if it puts her in immediate danger, and Imako doesn't anticipate that Haruki can teleport to wherever he is, she's only able to get help when he's already beyond saving.
- Dies Wide Open: Kana in Chapter 3 and later Imako in Chapter 5.
- Foreshadowing:
- During Chapter 2's motive, while most people are in the tent set up in the rodeo, Misuzu is instead said to be by the stands. Thus, she's left without an actual alibi for the trial, and is discovered to be Rina's murderer soon after.
- In Chapter 3, Taiki's shown to be nervous if he isn't around people, since due to the nature of the motive anyone pushed to murder would likely act quickly and someone who's alone would be an easier target. Kana separates from Taiki and Tomie to go on a walk that night, taking only Eisaku - who wouldn't actually be able to physically intervene should any danger arise - and they're both found dead the next morning.
- In that same chapter, before Tomie leaves to follow the distress signal, she tells Taiki that "Us Kandas don't die so easily." It's revealed in Chapter 5 that Tomie Kanda is always replaced by a genetically identical clone when she dies, and that the Tomie Kanda who said that wasn't even the first one within the killing game.
- Haruki, after Chapter 3, starts to worry that he'll go down the same path as 4KIR4; to avoid that, he and Taiki go around telling people that he's an android and that his brief moments of zoning out and sometimes reacting aggressively are related to this. Furthermore, his motive in Chapter 4 plays on this fear, leading him to put himself into sleep mode to avoid hurting people. However, in Chapter 5, that's exactly what happens - under Jim Jim's influence, he murders Haruto and Imako, and is left with no recollection of doing so.
- Furthermore, during Chapter 4's investigation, Hanae and Imako talk about exchanging contact information so they can stay in touch after they go home, and promise each other that they won't leave. Except Imako does, being one of Chapter 5's victims.
- Imako's also the last person to find out about Haruki being an android, and spaces out while Taiki explains Haruki's habit of shorting out to Meika. Combined with the fact that he isn't aware of Haruki's ability to teleport or the fact that Haruto is made of clay, this later becomes his undoing.
- Love Hurts:
- Haruki falls for Eisaku during Chapter 3's dancing motive... except Eisaku dies that same chapter.
