- "Welcome to Royal Roulette. Luck is a large factor of today's culture, and integrated in life itself for many people. But what about death? Do you feel special enough to let Lady Luck decide your fate? No? Well, that's unfortunate, since you don't have a choice."—Roleplay Premise.
Royal Roulette is a Danganronpa inspired roleplay hosted by Sunny, with the help of her friend Erica. 16 Ultimates wake up in a castle, with no idea how they got there. Once they get a tour, they discover that they are stuck in a game of death, with no way out... Unless they commit murder and get away with it.
Unlike most roleplays where roleplayers submit characters they have designed, this roleplay starts with the roleplayers getting the basic information from the mods, and then molding them into a character. The roleplay is on chapter 3 and can be found here

Rex Rivera
Ultimate Art Critic
Dinosaur
Who’s walkin’ ovah heah? Rex Rivera walked all around Brooklyn ever since he was born. As a toddler, he had an extremely wide interest in creating art, more specifically, various paintings. He lets his imagination go wild while painting, using numerous ideas in his head. However, Rex decided to quit creating art due to a slight difference in interest. Now, he would walk all across town and look at various pieces of artwork made by other people. He gained popularity online by leaving long reviews about said piece, whether it would be complimenting it, or criticizing it. He eventually gained a fanbase as well as his fair share of haters, who often depicts Rex as a controversial icon in the art community. Despite all of that, Rex had expanded his reviews to a larger variety. Not only would he review paintings, sketches, and sculptures, he would also leave reviews on movies, photography, and even writing. He claims that anything created by the hands of a human is considered art.

Ultimate Reporter
“Eh. Look, I’m sure you mean well, but I’m not telling my name to a bunch of strangers. I know who you are, though.”
If you happen to know anything about 🌸🍥🍭🍧, it’s that you know nothing about him. While he frequently makes the news for the lengths he’s willing to take to get a good story, there seems to be no evidence online (or anywhere else, for that matter) of his life before he became a reporter. If not for his reporting skills, 🌸🍥🍭🍧 is best known for his decora kei fashion and his outwardly cutesy personality. But who knows what lies underneath...- Amateur Sleuth: Being a reporter means you have to be pretty nosy, doesn't it?

John Peterson

- Cast Full of Gay: Several of the characters are gay, bi, and trans. In fact, none of them are straight, as revealed through the group chat as well as Word of God
- Cast Of Snow Flakes: Standard for a Danganronpa roleplay. Each character is unique and has... Their own quirks.
