-----------------
Sounds of Silence, Snow of Solitude is a closed Discord-based Danganronpa roleplay group.
----
!! Sounds of Silence, Snow of Solitude demonstrates these examples of tropes:
* [[AHouseDivided A Student Body Divided]]
* AfterTheEnd: Typically '''Danganronpa''' affair on it's own, but as early as Chapter 1 with the suggestion that the Killing Game the students are playing through is far from the first one.
* AmateurSleuth
* BodyOfTheWeek: Every chapter results in at least one death that the remaining students have to investigate.
* CharactersDroppingLikeFlies
* ClearMyName[=/=]ClearTheirName: Happens whenever somebody is accused of the crime and fights the charges, or when their friends do their best to help them. Of course, the question of whether or not they're actually guilty is very real....
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: 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.
* DeadlyGame
* DevelopingDoomedCharacters: That's some to most of the characters. Good luck figuring out which ones they are before they die. They include:
** [[spoiler:'''Noriko Yabuuchi''', ''SHSL Bus Driver'', Chapter 1 Victim]]
** [[spoiler:'''Varfolomei Amatsunai''', ''SHSL Worm Magician'', Chapter 1 Killer]]
* DwindlingParty
* EarnYourHappyEnding: But who knows how much the students will have to sacrifice to achieve it?
* EmotionalTorque
* EveryoneIsASuspect: The objective of each trial is to find out who is the ''most'' suspicious. Extends to before each individual murder, when the students must attempt to figure out who the possible complicit person might be.
* EvidenceScavengerHunt
* EvilOnlyHasToWinOnce: A single failed trial results in the execution of the contestants
* FireForgedFriends: Often, relationships (both platonic and possibly romantic) are formed due to the stress everyone is put under and the bonds created thusly.
* FryingPanOfDoom: [[spoiler: The very first murder weapon used happened to be a frying pan, of all things.]]
* GhostCity: Both the starting area and the first one unlocked are parts of a place referred to as 'Ni-o Tokyo', a desolate and completely empty city.
* HumansAreFlawed
* InvoluntaryBattleToTheDeath
* KangarooCourt
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Considering its premise and the fact that it's a roleplay, the characters are not above poking fun at the supposed absurdity of their circumstances.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: By killing game standards. Canon, and most games following its examples, start off with a cast of 16, while this one opens up with ''22.''
* MeaningfulName: 'SoSoS' has to stand for ''something''.
* MysteryOfTheWeek: There's a new murder every two-ish weeks in real life.
* [[BlackBlood Pink Blood]]
* PublicExecution
* RedHerring: Par for the course in a murder mystery. There's usually one or two big ones every case.
* ShoutOut: May contain references to popular culture, internet phenomena and call-backs to previous games the muns and their muses have been in.
* SnowMeansDeath: The entire setting counts.
* TeenGenius: All the students to some extent. They were initially accepted into Hope's Peak for being the best in their age bracket at what they do.
* TonightSomeoneDies: Specifically, every couple of weeks, someone will be murdered. Subverted in the fact that each murder ''can'' be prevented through a series of specific conditions.
* TranslationConvention: All characters are presumed to be speaking Japanese unless otherwise noted, even though the game is written in English.
* WinYourFreedom
* YouCantGoHomeAgain

!!Varfolomei Amatsunai
!!!SHSL Worm Magician
[[quoteright:147:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/varf_pixel_sprite.png]]
''quote goes here''
Varfolomei Amatsunai, the amazing wacky magician, known in the competitive ring as ‘The Worm Demon.’ What kind of magician? The kind that specializes in slight of hand using a fuzzy worm on a string! He’s popular with children, but perhaps a few not-children may know of his grand accomplishments. Well, he worms and he squirms. Best of all, Amatsunai performs with only rhymes. Isn’t he the coolest and the sweetest? The wormiest?
[[spoiler:CHAPTER 1 KILLER]]
* TeensAreShort: Look. I needed a trope for his height. Despite being the oldest(?) of the cast, Varfolomei is the second to shortest.
* RhymesOnADime: Upon first introduction, Varfolomei only speaks in rhymes of various quality. This is because as a performer for children, that's just what he does.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: he knows russian. what can i say.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He acts sweet, but it's clear internally he isn't as nice as he likes to act, especially towards children.
* CoughSnarkCough: He tends to pass off anything mean he says as unintentional, rather than owning up to it.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: hi im raye and i draw varfy's eyes different because if he were a danganronpa character his eyes are funny and he just looks funny in general.
* FirstNameBasis: He only refers to people by their entire first name, and certainly doesn't appreciate any shortening on his given first name. I'm looking at you Mikiko.
* HeyYou: Due to his knack for rhyming, he tends to use pointing or saying 'you' or 'miss' or similar short and rhymable things to refer to people. Can't rhyme most names too well.
* LoveAtFirstSight: As soon as he saw Haruki Amemori, he fell in LOVE.
* ChildHater: Despite being a child performer,,,
* StalkerWithACrush: Towards Haruki, creeping (nearly) everyone else out immensely.
!!Haruki Amemori

Between his viral appearances on the news, to his newest television program, it's not hard to have heard the name Haruki Amemori from somewhere. The teenager is known for his keen predictions, particularly of the weather, without the need for anything but himself. For those who don't know him for his prediction abilities know him from his 15 minute television program "KeroKero TenkeyohÅ".

!!Jackson Coyote Davis
!!!SHSL Rumormonger
[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jak_pixel_sprite.png]]
''quote goes here''
Recently, a public apology was released by an induvidual known as Jackson Coyote Davis, a high school student, who debunked a variety of rumors that had been plaguing the country. Jackson has been found responsible for many of the most recent scandals and rumors, such as the celebrity love dodecahedron, the ghost hauntings of Nakano Broadway, and many politician-related scandals.
Despite his age, he has clearly displayed skills of being able to manipulate the flow of rumors on a national scale, and as a result, he has been offered a title as a Super High School Level in exchange for avoiding facing various charges. It’s unknown what rumors he’s responsible of beyond the major ones he debunked, but there’s a rumor itself that he runs an underground business where he spreads rumors for ridiculous fees.
Despite all this, looking up his name only leads to a multitude of results, none of them realistic in their description of him and often contradictory within their own text, let alone when compared with each other. As a result, he’s quite an enigma.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: His middle name is [[AnimalMotifs ''Coyote'']], for god's sake. And [[SpellMyNameWithAnS he spells his nickname "J-A-K"]], rather insistently.
* BadassGay: He's gay. He's buff. And he's badass.
* BrilliantButLazy: He ''could'' do a lot of good with his intelligence!... But he chooses to pursue other things.
* BrutalHonesty: Utilizes this, and often.
* CheshireCatGrin: That wide, mischievous smile must be hiding lots of secrets....
* Cloudcuckoolander [=/=] MrImagination: Jak isn't ''stupid'' by any means, but he seems to miss the point of conversations a lot of the time and bring up totally unrelated topics at inappropriate times.
* ConspiracyTheorist: He's claimed that he's behind Avril Lavigne™. What this means, it's hard to say.
* Determinator: He won't give up, even when he's told something is impossible.
* DitzyGenius: Smart? Yes. Common sense? ''Hell no.''
* DoubleEntendre: He just ''loves'' using these in everyday speech.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Jak's pupils are star-shaped, according to word of mun.
* FunnyForeigner: He's the odd one out where most of the cast are from Japan.... And he's a funny dude, as well.
* GeniusBruiser: Brutish, [[NoIndoorVoice loudmouthed]], massive, and more than a little aggressive at times, but none of that precludes him from being extremely intelligent. He is, after all, still a rumormonger.
* LargeHam: He's ''6 foot 9'', and quite hammy indeed.
* LoveFreak: Jak's a big tough guy, but he really just wants love, too.
* MetaGuy [=/=] GenreSavvy: Jak is a good character to move the plot along, as he tends to question a lot of things that other characters might take for granted.
* MotorMouth: He sure loves to run his mouth.
* TheNicknamer: Self-explanatory; Jak gives everyone he meets a nickname.
* Otaku: What a nerd.
* TheQuincyPunk: From his colored mohawk to his leather jacket and studded outfit to his numerous ear piercings, Jak's appearance is the embodiment of this. His RebelliousSpirit adds to the effect.
* RatedMForManly: Everything about Jak. His [[TheBigGuy stature]], his buffness, his [[SirSwearsalot foul mouth]], his PermaStubble, his [[NoIndoorVoice loudmouthed-ness]].
* StreetSmart: He sure is.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Jak's hair is styled in a bright blue mohawk.

''quote goes here''
Never fear, the Brawling Beetle is here! Norio Mamoru, the SHSL Superhero, is widely known for his acts of good deeds and justice. With his inhuman strength and speed, he fights crime on the daily. Though yes, his spread of justice is known, Norio is more known for the time he single handedly took down three armed robbers at a local bank. The incident was all over the news, which earned him the title of SHSL Superhero.
[[spoiler:CHAPTER 2 VICTIM]]
* TheBigGuy: Standing at 6'6", he is beaten in stature only by Jak.
* CallingYourAttacks: He just yells a lot.
* ForGreatJustice: As an actual Superhero, Norio's actions and motivations are presumably driven by this!
* GeniusBruiser: Not just a dumb hunk of muscle, Norio also has knowledge of mechanics and likes to spend his free time fiddling with mechanical objects.
* ShoutOut: His name evokes ''ComicBook/BlueBeetle'', and aside from that he has the outward demeanor and appearance in general of a dyed-in-the-wool {{Tokusatsu}} hero. The Beetle motif also, in particular, calls forth thoughts of ''Franchise/KamenRider.''
* SuperSpeed [=/=] SuperStrength: Norio has "inhuman" strength and speed, which aid him in saving the day!
!!Himura Masaru
!!!SHSL Spiker
[[quoteright:137:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/himura_pixel_sprite.png]]
''quote goes here''
If you saw Himura a few years ago, you may not be able to recognize him with his weak posture, refusal to make eye contact, and general shyness. However, he’s made a complete 180 in recent years. He’s incredibly outgoing and flirtatious, finding it funny when a cute girl blushes or has trouble maintaining eye contact from a quick quip. It comes naturally to him to be the leader of the pack or to have all eyes on him, making it the most important thing to be the center of attention at all times. Despite his high and mighty nature, he’s a coward for most things, not having the muscle to be able to back up most of his claims.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: The forgotten middle child, left to make his own way in the world....
* MotorMouth: He sure loves to run his mouth.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Hit the right spot with Himura and you'll find out that he really ''does'' get bothered by certain things.
* ReallyGetsAround: From what he says, at least, Himura seems to have a reputation for sleeping around a lot.
!!Kirashi Matomoe

''quote goes here''
Kirashi is an incredibly mysterious individual. He’s known for being quiet about anything including himself, he’s quite good at covering up anything known about him. Therefore very little about him is known at all. Even anything Kirashi does, no one can really tell what he’s up to at all. Unless you were to literally stalk him, his actions aren’t too predictable. It might even seem that he knows more about what’s happening than his other classmates, which heightens the mystery surrounding him.

Naoto is a quiet, standoffish young man that likes to keep to himself. No one really knows why he prefers to keep to himself-- There are rumors that say he’s simply too anxious to start a conversation with others, or some of the worse rumors say that he’s a murderer, observing everyone and waiting for his time to strike. All that anyone really knows is his love for music and gardening, and that he doesn’t really look like he wants to hurt anybody. He lives vicariously through his cutesy, online persona girl. However, if anyone knew who the famous "Neo" was, he just might die.

From war photographs to cartoon collectibles, items from Shiori Nishijima's expansive collections span hundreds of museums worldwide. Although he is rarely seen in public, he has gained massive fame with historians and, surprisingly, fast food fanatics (for his immense collection of vintage American Happy Meal toys). When he does leave his apartment, he can often be spotted shopping in antique stores and eating at local cafés.
* HopelessWithTech: Maybe because he spends so much time collecting ''old'' things, Shiori isn't accustomed to using certain modern technologies.
!!Miguel Alvarez Ortiz
!!!SHSL Heel Wrestler
[[quoteright:116:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miguel_pixel_sprite.png]]
''"Sick. I'll look out for ya, don't worry. Need anything, just come find me."''
Miguel “The Crowbar” Alvarez Ortiz is a professional wrestler from San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Known for his brutal tactics and harsh strikes he is a wrestler who fans love to hate. He is especially popular in Japan where his stiff strikes and intense performances match the expectations of the fans. His nickname “The Crowbar” was coined for him frequently causing bleeding in the opponent due to his brutal strikes, he plays a bad-guy character, frequently cheating, trash talking and generally showing bad sportsmanship to not only get into the head of his opponent but also keep the fans entertained, he’s been known to keep the illusion of his character very real out of his matches, acting in character whenever a fan recognizes him or he’s in his wrestling gear.
* CoolMask: His face mask has a teeth design on it. Generic? Yes. Cool? Definitely.
* DumbMuscle: He's just slow on the uptake.
* GuysAreSlobs: He's not really a slob, but he does frequently eat with his mouth open and is usually pretty sweaty from working out.
* LovableJock: Despite being a heel (A really good one at that), he's friendly enough. He probably has a face turn in him.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He's a narcissist, though it's not clear if that's just him being in character, he tries to make conversation about himself if he can.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's among the shortest of the cast but is no doubt among the strongest.
* RatedMForManly: His love of exercise, muscles and showing off is pretty manly.
* ShoutOut: His height, weight and date of birth are the same as Rey Mysterio Jr.'s. His T-Shirt and slogan are inspired by Kevin Owens.
* SmallNameBigEgo: When introducing himself he said "You probably know me as 'The Crowbar'." No one knew him as The Crowbar.

''quote goes here''
The world of freestyle dance is a fickle place, the right sort of music has the potential to make or break a lot of newcomers careers. But, there are the exceptional few that seem to be able to move their body to any tune thrown their way, and 'Apollo’ is most definitely one of these few. For a relatively recent name on the freestyle disco dancing scene, Apollo appeared out of seemingly nowhere but is gaining fans fast, they already have a number of first place awards under their belt and show no sign of slowing down in their antics.
* [[AwesomeMcCoolName "Awesome McCool" Name]]: Apollo? Yeah, like the God of music and light. Obviously this kid picked their own stage name.
* DancingIsSeriousBusiness:
* MotorMouth: Apparently always has something to say, whether it's actually worth vocalising is another story.
** Apollo also has a tendency to repeat words or short phrases when they're excited.
* OnlyOneName: Just goes by their stage name.
* PointlessBandAid: They're clumsy, but not clumsy enough to warrant all the band aids they wear.
* QuirkyCurls:
* TrickedOutShoes: Not only does Apollo's silly footwear have wings attached to the heels, they also contain a function that makes them light up.

''quote goes here''
Kimi Himi's surname isn't attached to any known relevant family for anything, and the lack of information on her herself combined with her self-proclaimed Super High School Level Liar talent means there's really not much to go on. Still, being someone to leave an impression and walk away seems to be her mantra, so there must be something going on with her.

!!Mikiko Kumagai
!!!SHSL Jazz Pianist
[[quoteright:137:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mikiko_pixel_sprite.png]]
''"W-Well, we can try to think positive, right~? I don't think everything has to be all bad, you know? We - We'll all be fine!"''
Mention the name “Kumagai”, and most music fans in Japan will immediately think of the fifteen-year-old piano prodigy who turned an industry upside down. When Mikiko started playing jazz, the genre was largely failing in Japan and most other parts of the world. However, in middle school she formed the Kumagai Atomic Jazz Band with the help of several other more seasoned jazz musicians that her piano instructor referred to her. Even surrounded by musical greats, Mikiko’s incredible skill in jazz improvisation shone brightest, and music critics were taking notice.
With young Kumagai Mikiko’s piano playing at the forefront, the band played more and more gigs by the month. By the time Mikiko reached her fifteenth birthday, she and her band had been signed by a major record label. They released an album, titled Blue Keys At Birdland, that critics called “groundbreaking” and “unprecedented”. The album exploded in popularity and singlehandedly revived jazz music in the East. Now the trend is spreading to the West as well, and jazz enthusiasts everywhere marvel at the young musician’s entrepreneurial skill as well as her innate musical talent.
* CuddleBug: She loves giving out hugs! - Especially to characters who seem to need some comforting.
* TheCutie: Mikiko is one of the youngest characters, and her wide-eyed idealism tends to make her a rather easy target. Considering what kind of roleplay she's in, it's likely her character arc will continue along one of two paths: BreakTheCutie or KillTheCutie. Or even both....
* TheIngenue: She's a very sheltered, innocent girl with an [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism idealistic outlook]] on life as a whole.
* ProneToTears: She's normally cheerful and upbeat, but considering that she's in quite stressful circumstance already, Mikiko has a difficult time dealing with situations that make her even ''more'' emotional - hence, what seems like [[TenderTears a lot of crying]].
* RegalRinglets: Indeed, her tightly-wound ponytail ''is'' a sign of her upbringing.
* ShoutOut: Her band's name is a reference to ''The Atomic Mr. Basie'' - an album of Count Basie, a famous jazz artist from the 1940's.
* WideEyedIdealist: Mikiko does her very best to see the best qualities in everyone around her, and to always keep up a sense of hope even when things seem hopeless.
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]: Mikiko's hair is dyed light lavender.

Tsubame Okada is known widely as the Super High School Level Falconer! She runs a sanctuary for rescued raptors and performs in shows around the world. She spends most of her time training her birds, all of which are incapable of surviving in the wild. She uses her shows to demonstrate her birds’ skills and educate others about the importance of preserving wildlife and telling the correct organizations about injured animals. Tsubame is a friend to all, talking to anyone who is willing to listen about birds. When she’s not with her birds, Tsubame can be seen reading or exploring nature. People who have seen her shows have said that Tsubame has unreal control over the birds, almost like she is talking to them without actually sharing words. Tsubame just attributes her skill to her experience and bond with the birds. She wishes to see a world where humans and nature can live in harmony. Until then, Tsubame will continue to work as the Super High School Level Falconer to protect wildlife and show others the wonders of raptors!
[[spoiler:CHAPTER 2 VICTIM]]
* HopelessWithTech: Tsubame is not very good when it comes to technology, preferring to interact with nature.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Tsubame always has a Japanese sparrowhawk by her side whose name is Hana.
* NatureLover: Tsubame spends most of her free time in nature.
* WideEyedIdealist: Tsubame views the world with the utmost optimism.

Shizuka Sakurai is yet another high school student recognized as worthy of Super High-school Level Status. Her unsociable, intimidating manner and apparent lack of interest in most goings on make it hard to picture just what the hell she does, though. Does she even know? If so she refuses to say.
* EightiesHair: A mullet, to be exact!
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Described by her player as having ''{{Franchise/Batman}}''-esque "near peak human physical condition" abilities.
* ContraltoOfDanger: The words she does speak are in a low, brusque tone.
* CoolShades: Specifically the anime-classic triangular shades.
* CustomUniform: Wears her school's blazer over a white hoodie that reads 'POWER MOVE' in faded English text, sweatpants, and military-grade combat boots.
* DeathGlare: A stated specialty of hers.
* HumbleHero: Her stated reason for not sharing her talent is that she doesn't want the attention tied to it, and underneath her outward demeanor she's pretty transparently nice.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Not exactly a stunning conversationalist, and more than willing to just spring to violence or silently intimidate people into getting her way, but in the first chapter alone has gone out of her way to help people a few times without a passing comment.
* NoSocialSkills: Generally prefers to keep to herself, and is uncomfortable with a lot of attention.
* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: Academically and socially, she falls behind, but physically she's practically in a league of her own. Some of this isn't her fault, given that she's dyslexic, but these difficulties did still contribute to her decision to follow this.
* StatuesqueStunner: Clocking in at 5'10!
* TheQuietOne: Described as a woman of few words. [[CharacterDevelopment Starts talking unprompted more]] as time goes on, though she's still not exactly a social butterfly.

''quote goes here''
Umi Shiina, the Super High School Level Seafarer, of course grew up in a small seaside village as a child, going out to sea with her family on a regular basis from the age of nine, and occasionally running off on her own independent adventures. She is able to do all of the things that a typical seafarer does with expertise line none other; fishing, exploring, charting and even the occasional mariner work.
She’s competitive and a pottymouth sometimes to her detriment, but makes up for it with her determination and intuitive way of thinking and travelling. Due to her many adventures Umi has found herself capable of assessing a potential way forward for most adventuring situations, but domestic situations and people she’s not familiar with may leave her stumped.
* PunnyName: "Umi" means "sea" in Japanese, funnily enough given that she's the SHSL Seafarer. Bring this up with her, though, and it's a BerserkButton.

Growing up in a quiet town with a quiet family, Otome has always experienced bad luck when she least expects it, and that’s what gets her. She tries not to think about it so it doesn’t get to her but when she completely forgets about it, she has something horrible happen to her and she’s back at square one. Often times, she tends to bring what she deems “good luck charms” around her and her being for her own piece of mind. She’s just riddled with horrible luck at the worst times.

''I'm here to help Father carry out his will, you know? That's always been my purpose. Well, that.. and feeding you guys. Heheh.''
Abadon originates from a small, unmapped village, where those who live there choose a life free from modern responsibilities. Those who inhabit the village are required to keep any outsiders away, and are taught from a young age the importance of things such as gardening and hunting. While their life style is outdated, they still retain many habits and electronics from the modern age.
Each person in the village is assigned a role at a young age which they must live by, Abadon being given the task of herbalism. As such, he mainly takes care of medicinal needs, though has also been taught to cook meals for the village.
* MysteriousPast: The unusual village Abadon originates from leaves lots of answers to be desired.

Aisukurimu Saiki is a sweet talking politician with an aptitude for making the wrong decision. With a big heart and a bigger mouth, he’s always the darling of the crowd when he enters an election. He can sway any audience, win over any rival with his charming words. However, there’s a curse that haunts his every waking hour. When he makes a choice intentionally, it will be the wrong one. Somehow, things go south every time. To remedy this, he relies on random chance, and the urgings of others. What’s a politician without a little curve to their backbone? Put an opinion in his mouth, and he’ll spread the good word with no questions asked. But can such a precocious wreck of a candidate keep up with the runnings when murder is involved?
* HurricaneOfPuns: Saiki refers to himself as a [[PunBasedTitle "Neapolitician"]], dresses in the [[VisualPun colors of Neapolitan ice cream]], and [[PunnyName his name is literally "ice cream"]] written in Japanese.

-----------------
Sounds of Silence, Snow of Solitude is a closed Discord-based Danganronpa roleplay group.
----
!! Sounds of Silence, Snow of Solitude demonstrates these examples of tropes:
* [[AHouseDivided A Student Body Divided]]
* AfterTheEnd: Typically '''Danganronpa''' affair on it's own, but as early as Chapter 1 with the suggestion that the Killing Game the students are playing through is far from the first one.
* AmateurSleuth
* BodyOfTheWeek: Every chapter results in at least one death that the remaining students have to investigate.
* CharactersDroppingLikeFlies
* ClearMyName[=/=]ClearTheirName: Happens whenever somebody is accused of the crime and fights the charges, or when their friends do their best to help them. Of course, the question of whether or not they're actually guilty is very real....
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: 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.
* DeadlyGame
* DevelopingDoomedCharacters: That's some to most of the characters. Good luck figuring out which ones they are before they die. They include:
** [[spoiler:'''Noriko Yabuuchi''', ''SHSL Bus Driver'', Chapter 1 Victim]]
** [[spoiler:'''Varfolomei Amatsunai''', ''SHSL Worm Magician'', Chapter 1 Killer]]
* DwindlingParty
* EarnYourHappyEnding: But who knows how much the students will have to sacrifice to achieve it?
* EmotionalTorque
* EveryoneIsASuspect: The objective of each trial is to find out who is the ''most'' suspicious. Extends to before each individual murder, when the students must attempt to figure out who the possible complicit person might be.
* EvidenceScavengerHunt
* EvilOnlyHasToWinOnce: A single failed trial results in the execution of the contestants
* FireForgedFriends: Often, relationships (both platonic and possibly romantic) are formed due to the stress everyone is put under and the bonds created thusly.
* FryingPanOfDoom: [[spoiler: The very first murder weapon used happened to be a frying pan, of all things.]]
* GhostCity: Both the starting area and the first one unlocked are parts of a place referred to as 'Ni-o Tokyo', a desolate and completely empty city.
* HumansAreFlawed
* InvoluntaryBattleToTheDeath
* KangarooCourt
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Considering its premise and the fact that it's a roleplay, the characters are not above poking fun at the supposed absurdity of their circumstances.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: By killing game standards. Canon, and most games following its examples, start off with a cast of 16, while this one opens up with ''22.''
* MeaningfulName: 'SoSoS' has to stand for ''something''.
* MysteryOfTheWeek: There's a new murder every two-ish weeks in real life.
* [[BlackBlood Pink Blood]]
* PublicExecution
* RedHerring: Par for the course in a murder mystery. There's usually one or two big ones every case.
* ShoutOut: May contain references to popular culture, internet phenomena and call-backs to previous games the muns and their muses have been in.
* SnowMeansDeath: The entire setting counts.
* TeenGenius: All the students to some extent. They were initially accepted into Hope's Peak for being the best in their age bracket at what they do.
* TonightSomeoneDies: Specifically, every couple of weeks, someone will be murdered. Subverted in the fact that each murder ''can'' be prevented through a series of specific conditions.
* TranslationConvention: All characters are presumed to be speaking Japanese unless otherwise noted, even though the game is written in English.
* WinYourFreedom

Varfolomei Amatsunai, the amazing wacky magician, known in the competitive ring as ‘The Worm Demon.’ What kind of magician? The kind that specializes in slight of hand using a fuzzy worm on a string! He’s popular with children, but perhaps a few not-children may know of his grand accomplishments. Well, he worms and he squirms. Best of all, Amatsunai performs with only rhymes. Isn’t he the coolest and the sweetest? The wormiest?
[[spoiler:CHAPTER 1 KILLER]]
* TeensAreShort: Look. I needed a trope for his height. Despite being the oldest(?) of the cast, Varfolomei is the second to shortest.
* RhymesOnADime: Upon first introduction, Varfolomei only speaks in rhymes of various quality. This is because as a performer for children, that's just what he does.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: he knows russian. what can i say.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He acts sweet, but it's clear internally he isn't as nice as he likes to act, especially towards children.
* CoughSnarkCough: He tends to pass off anything mean he says as unintentional, rather than owning up to it.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: hi im raye and i draw varfy's eyes different because if he were a danganronpa character his eyes are funny and he just looks funny in general.
* FirstNameBasis: He only refers to people by their entire first name, and certainly doesn't appreciate any shortening on his given first name. I'm looking at you Mikiko.
* HeyYou: Due to his knack for rhyming, he tends to use pointing or saying 'you' or 'miss' or similar short and rhymable things to refer to people. Can't rhyme most names too well.
* LoveAtFirstSight: As soon as he saw Haruki Amemori, he fell in LOVE.
* ChildHater: Despite being a child performer,,,
* StalkerWithACrush: Towards Haruki, creeping (nearly) everyone else out immensely.

''quote goes here''
Recently, a public apology was released by an induvidual known as Jackson Coyote Davis, a high school student, who debunked a variety of rumors that had been plaguing the country. Jackson has been found responsible for many of the most recent scandals and rumors, such as the celebrity love dodecahedron, the ghost hauntings of Nakano Broadway, and many politician-related scandals.
Despite his age, he has clearly displayed skills of being able to manipulate the flow of rumors on a national scale, and as a result, he has been offered a title as a Super High School Level in exchange for avoiding facing various charges. It’s unknown what rumors he’s responsible of beyond the major ones he debunked, but there’s a rumor itself that he runs an underground business where he spreads rumors for ridiculous fees.
Despite all this, looking up his name only leads to a multitude of results, none of them realistic in their description of him and often contradictory within their own text, let alone when compared with each other. As a result, he’s quite an enigma.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: His middle name is [[AnimalMotifs ''Coyote'']], for god's sake. And [[SpellMyNameWithAnS he spells his nickname "J-A-K"]], rather insistently.
* BadassGay: He's gay. He's buff. And he's badass.
* BrilliantButLazy: He ''could'' do a lot of good with his intelligence!... But he chooses to pursue other things.
* BrutalHonesty: Utilizes this, and often.
* CheshireCatGrin: That wide, mischievous smile must be hiding lots of secrets....
* Cloudcuckoolander [=/=] MrImagination: Jak isn't ''stupid'' by any means, but he seems to miss the point of conversations a lot of the time and bring up totally unrelated topics at inappropriate times.
* ConspiracyTheorist: He's claimed that he's behind Avril Lavigne™. What this means, it's hard to say.
* Determinator: He won't give up, even when he's told something is impossible.
* DitzyGenius: Smart? Yes. Common sense? ''Hell no.''
* DoubleEntendre: He just ''loves'' using these in everyday speech.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Jak's pupils are star-shaped, according to word of mun.
* FunnyForeigner: He's the odd one out where most of the cast are from Japan.... And he's a funny dude, as well.
* GeniusBruiser: Brutish, [[NoIndoorVoice loudmouthed]], massive, and more than a little aggressive at times, but none of that precludes him from being extremely intelligent. He is, after all, still a rumormonger.
* LargeHam: He's ''6 foot 9'', and quite hammy indeed.
* LoveFreak: Jak's a big tough guy, but he really just wants love, too.
* MetaGuy [=/=] GenreSavvy: Jak is a good character to move the plot along, as he tends to question a lot of things that other characters might take for granted.
* MotorMouth: He sure loves to run his mouth.
* TheNicknamer: Self-explanatory; Jak gives everyone he meets a nickname.
* Otaku: What a nerd.
* TheQuincyPunk: From his colored mohawk to his leather jacket and studded outfit to his numerous ear piercings, Jak's appearance is the embodiment of this. His RebelliousSpirit adds to the effect.
* RatedMForManly: Everything about Jak. His [[TheBigGuy stature]], his buffness, his [[SirSwearsalot foul mouth]], his PermaStubble, his [[NoIndoorVoice loudmouthed-ness]].
* StreetSmart: He sure is.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Jak's hair is styled in a bright blue mohawk.

If you saw Himura a few years ago, you may not be able to recognize him with his weak posture, refusal to make eye contact, and general shyness. However, he’s made a complete 180 in recent years. He’s incredibly outgoing and flirtatious, finding it funny when a cute girl blushes or has trouble maintaining eye contact from a quick quip. It comes naturally to him to be the leader of the pack or to have all eyes on him, making it the most important thing to be the center of attention at all times. Despite his high and mighty nature, he’s a coward for most things, not having the muscle to be able to back up most of his claims.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: The forgotten middle child, left to make his own way in the world....
* MotorMouth: He sure loves to run his mouth.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Hit the right spot with Himura and you'll find out that he really ''does'' get bothered by certain things.

All that anyone really knows is his love for music and gardening, and that he doesn’t really look like he wants to hurt anybody. He lives vicariously through his cutesy, online persona girl.

Miguel “The Crowbar” Alvarez Ortiz is a professional wrestler from San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Known for his brutal tactics and harsh strikes he is a wrestler who fans love to hate. He is especially popular in Japan where his stiff strikes and intense performances match the expectations of the fans. His nickname “The Crowbar” was coined for him frequently causing bleeding in the opponent due to his brutal strikes, he plays a bad-guy character, frequently cheating, trash talking and generally showing bad sportsmanship to not only get into the head of his opponent but also keep the fans entertained, he’s been known to keep the illusion of his character very real out of his matches, acting in character whenever a fan recognizes him or he’s in his wrestling gear.

''"W-Well, we can try to think positive, right~? I don't think everything has to be all bad, you know? We - We'll all be fine!"''
Mention the name “Kumagai”, and most music fans in Japan will immediately think of the fifteen-year-old piano prodigy who turned an industry upside down. When Mikiko started playing jazz, the genre was largely failing in Japan and most other parts of the world. However, in middle school she formed the Kumagai Atomic Jazz Band with the help of several other more seasoned jazz musicians that her piano instructor referred to her. Even surrounded by musical greats, Mikiko’s incredible skill in jazz improvisation shone brightest, and music critics were taking notice.
With young Kumagai Mikiko’s piano playing at the forefront, the band played more and more gigs by the month. By the time Mikiko reached her fifteenth birthday, she and her band had been signed by a major record label. They released an album, titled Blue Keys At Birdland, that critics called “groundbreaking” and “unprecedented”. The album exploded in popularity and singlehandedly revived jazz music in the East. Now the trend is spreading to the West as well, and jazz enthusiasts everywhere marvel at the young musician’s entrepreneurial skill as well as her innate musical talent.
* CuddleBug: She loves giving out hugs! - Especially to characters who seem to need some comforting.
* TheCutie: Mikiko is one of the youngest characters, and her wide-eyed idealism tends to make her a rather easy target. Considering what kind of roleplay she's in, it's likely her character arc will continue along one of two paths: BreakTheCutie or KillTheCutie. Or even both....
* TheIngenue: She's a very sheltered, innocent girl with an [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism idealistic outlook]] on life as a whole.
* ProneToTears: She's normally cheerful and upbeat, but considering that she's in quite stressful circumstance already, Mikiko has a difficult time dealing with situations that make her even ''more'' emotional - hence, what seems like [[TenderTears a lot of crying]].
* RegalRinglets: Indeed, her tightly-wound ponytail ''is'' a sign of her upbringing.
* ShoutOut: Her band's name is a reference to ''The Atomic Mr. Basie'' - an album of Count Basie, a famous jazz artist from the 1940's.
* WideEyedIdealist: Mikiko does her very best to see the best qualities in everyone around her, and to always keep up a sense of hope even when things seem hopeless.

Tsubame is a friend to all, talking to anyone who is willing to listen about birds. When she’s not with her birds, Tsubame can be seen reading or exploring nature. People who have seen her shows have said that Tsubame has unreal control over the birds, almost like she is talking to them without actually sharing words. Tsubame just attributes her skill to her experience and bond with the birds. She wishes to see a world where humans and nature can live in harmony. Until then, Tsubame will continue to work as the Super High School Level Falconer to protect wildlife and show others the wonders of raptors!

She’s competitive and a pottymouth sometimes to her detriment, but makes up for it with her determination and intuitive way of thinking and travelling. Due to her many adventures Umi has found herself capable of assessing a potential way forward for most adventuring situations, but domestic situations and people she’s not familiar with may leave her stumped.
* PunnyName: "Umi" means "sea" in Japanese, funnily enough given that she's the SHSL Seafarer. Bring this up with her, though, and it's a BerserkButton.
* SirSwearsalot: She curses like a sailor, apparently.

Growing up in a quiet town with a quiet family, Otome has always experienced bad luck when she least expects it, and that’s what gets her. She tries not to think about it so it doesn’t get to her but when she completely forgets about it, she has something horrible happen to her and she’s back at square one. Often times, she tends to bring what she deems “good luck charms” around her and her being for her own piece of mind. She’s just riddled with horrible luck at the worst times.

''I'm here to help Father carry out his will, you know? That's always been my purpose. Well, that.. and feeding you guys. Heheh.''
Abadon originates from a small, unmapped village, where those who live there choose a life free from modern responsibilities. Those who inhabit the village are required to keep any outsiders away, and are taught from a young age the importance of things such as gardening and hunting. While their life style is outdated, they still retain many habits and electronics from the modern age.
Each person in the village is assigned a role at a young age which they must live by, Abadon being given the task of herbalism. As such, he mainly takes care of medicinal needs, though has also been taught to cook meals for the village.

''quote goes here''
Aisukurimu Saiki is a sweet talking politician with an aptitude for making the wrong decision. With a big heart and a bigger mouth, he’s always the darling of the crowd when he enters an election. He can sway any audience, win over any rival with his charming words. However, there’s a curse that haunts his every waking hour. When he makes a choice intentionally, it will be the wrong one. Somehow, things go south every time. To remedy this, he relies on random chance, and the urgings of others. What’s a politician without a little curve to their backbone? Put an opinion in his mouth, and he’ll spread the good word with no questions asked. But can such a precocious wreck of a candidate keep up with the runnings when murder is involved?
* HurricaneOfPuns: Saiki refers to himself as a [[PunBasedTitle "Neapolitician"]], dresses in the [[VisualPun colors of Neapolitan ice cream]], and [[PunnyName his name is literally "ice cream"]] written in Japanese.
