History Roleplay / RouletteRampage

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In Chapter 2, [[spoiler: Banri kills Nagisa Iwase on the pretense that he saw bugs crawling out of her body, and deals with the problem as if doing his regular exterminating job. His OnlyFriend and crush Boa Hoa just happens to be there at the time he finishes, and thus he kills her as well to preserve the secret. Overcome with guilt, he tries to [[OutDamnedSpot scrub his hands of these filthy deeds until his skin rubs raw.]] He shows remorse for his actions throughout the trial, but it's mostly for killing Boa.]]

* ArmorPiercingSlap: After Irino's FreakOut in the first Chapter, Ozu gives him one to calm down.

* WithholdingTheCure: Chapter 3 presented the kids with a strange illness floating around the prison. Monobear would only give them the antidote if they either killed someone or found the antidotes hidden within the prison.

** The final trial reveals that [[spoiler: everyone save Etsuko was a part of the SHSL Despair group, and that they had all their memories taken away from the past three years as part of the rehabilitation process. After a time the Foundation found that the inmates were starting to relapse into their old ways and considered them "At-Risk". Etsuko, a member of the Foundation, wanted to prove that at least some of them could be redeemed, but her idea was to weed out the troublemakers- and thus, a new Despair game was born.]]

* KillEmAll: Aside from the nature of their situation, Monobear's motives invoke this.
** In Chapter 1, he right off the bat decides to starve the inmates if someone hadn't killed. Chapter 3 presented the kids with a strange illness floating around the prison, and they'd only get the antidote if they either killed or found the antidotes hidden within the prison.

* KnightTemplar: Oten. If someone doesn't completely match up with his BlackAndWhiteMorality, he'll immediately assume them to be a dishonorable enemy and will consider them a target.

* MysteriousNote: Not just one, but ''three'' in Chapter 3. [[spoiler: Junpei recieved a note from his "Guardian Angel", saying that Oten was planning on killing Miwa in solitary confinement, and that he could prevent it if he did something about it. Atlas received a note from his "Number One Sidekick", about a fake party for Oten. Finally, Etsuko received a note saying that she should bring a bag (which has Oten in it) up to the Cathedral from solitary. ]] Those letters were written by [[spoiler: The Chapter 3 culprit, Ai Senzaki.]]

** During the second execution, [[spoiler:the murderer is put in a glass casket filled with beautiful flowers, and left in the middle of a forest]], echoing a similar setup in ''Literature/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''.

** Atlas, Junpei, and Miwa's revealed that they have all resorted to foul practice in their sports (Atlas with performance enhancers,Junpei by cheating, and Miwa by sabotage; Misaki's revealed that she had created a formula that enhanced plant life, but ended up being toxic to humans; Kaori's revealed that she was supposedly the reason that her boyfriend died years back; Both Ai and Nagisa's revealed that they have had long histories of picking fights with others, with Ai reportedly being a deliquent; Jinta's revealed that he [[YourCheatingHeart dated two girls simultaneously]]; Ryouta's revealed that he's never dated, let alone ''kissed'' anyone; Oten's revealed that he dresses like a superhero to build up self confidence; Etsuko's revealed that she wears red lingerie to feel sexy when she's alone. Boa's revealed that her parents bank off her achievements while she does the work; and finally, Banri's revealed that he has Delusional Parasitosis, which makes him hallucinate that there are insects crawling in his body. [[spoiler: ''This'' secret is the reason for Nagisa's murder. Boa's is [[HeKnowsTooMuch another matter entirely.]]]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In Chapter 2, [[spoiler: Banri kills Nagisa Iwase on the pretense that he saw bugs crawling out of her body, and deals with the problem as if doing his regular exterminating job. His OnlyFriend and crush Boa Hoa just happens to be there at the time he finishes, and thus he kills her as well to preserve the secret. Overcome with guilt, he tries to [[OutDamnedSpot scrub his hands of these filthy deeds until his skin rubs raw.]] He shows remorse for his actions throughout the trial, but it's mostly for Boa.]]

** To an extent, even [[spoiler: Ai Senzaki]] is susceptible to this trope. [[spoiler: Though she wasn't the most pleasant person to many of the other inmates, she still befriended (and even [[BiTheWay fell in love with]]) some of them, and her XanatosGambit was basically to get out either by surviving the trial or ''death''. Post-mortem, she states that she didn't think she was worthy of getting out anyway and thinks the survivors are more fit to move on.]]

** Ai Senzaki makes it clear in Chapter 3 that she actually ''enjoyed'' her time with some of the other inmates, and makes a particular note of Nabiki (combined with her elated nature around her and the beach daydream, [[BiTheWay it's not all that surprising]]). [[spoiler: This is also the same scene which outed her as the culprit, so they're not going to hook up anytime soon.]]

* ArmorPiercingResponse: More like Armor-Piercing Statement, but as Banri was being chewed out by Senzaki, he suddenly switched gears and stated that she was probably the most frightened out of the whole bunch but hiding it under a JerkassFacade-- "like a cornered animal ready to swipe", as he put it. What pissed her off was that he was absolutely right.

''[[http://rouletterampage.tumblr.com/ Roulette Rampage]]'' is a Website/{{Tumblr}} Play-by-Post [[JournalRoleplay roleplay]] set in the ''VisualNovel/{{Danganronpa}}'' universe. As with its inspiration, sixteen students preparing to enter Hope's Peak find themselves waking up in a grim prison with no memories of how or why they got there. Upon awakening, they discover that their predicament is caused by [[KillerTeddyBear Monobear]], the supposed warden of the prison, who then tells them to kill each other to leave. The group is given motives each chapter, and then made to investigate the crimes in order to determine the culprit.

* ShoutOut: Of course, ''Roulette Rampage'' owes a lot of its foundation to ''VisualNovel/{{Danganronpa}}'', so expect there to be a lot of references to it in this RP.

** [[spoiler: Later on, while looking around the warden's office with Junpei, Misaki discovers a photo of Jinta, Boa and herself standing around in Hope's Peak. The document with the photo also announces the admittance of ''fifteen'' students into the school... after they decided to re-open in the wake of the [[VisualNovel/DanganRonpa Despairing Incident.]] A little afterwards, all of the [[ArtificialIntelligence Alter Egos]] are shut down by a mysterious force.]]

* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler: Ryouta Akagi's]] death in Chapter 3. They may have been the most naive out of the cast, and they seemed to trust everyone too easily, but they didn't seem like the type to kill anyone and no one expressed any reason to kill them or considered them a target. Even resident ManipulativeBitch Ai didn't think of them as much of a target. But still, [[spoiler: She found him shot to pieces at the foot of the entrance to prison store]], and she (along with a good number of every other survivor) were visibly shocked.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: More like Armor-Piercing Statement, but as Banri was being chewed out by Senzaki, he suddenly switched gears and stated that she was probably the most frightened out of the whole bunch but hiding it under a JerkassFacade-- "like a cornered animal ready to swipe", as he put it. What pissed her off was that he was absolutely right.

* ShutUpHannibal: Kaori gives a ''big'' one to the Mastermind after telling them that they ''need'' to stay in the prison after all they've done as SHSL despair. Topping it all of with a "[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome You've got that wrong!]]"

* BearsAreBadNews: Monobear.

* PerspectiveFlip: [[spoiler: What ''Reloaded'' turns out to be. This session and the first session were happening simultaneously, and even adjacent to each other (albeit separated by a wall), but neither party was able to figure this out until the very end.]]

The second RP, ''[[http://rouletterampagereloaded.tumblr.com/ Roulette Rampage: Reloaded]]'', began later that year, and finished December 15, 2015, wrapping up the storyline with the Remnants of Despair and bringing closure to some of the plot threads left in the first session. After a hiatus, the mods decided to begin a third installment, ''[[http://rouletterampagerewind.tumblr.com/ Roulette Rampage Rewind]]'', which covers a different set of Hope's Peak students and began on October 9, 2016, with the roster revealed on October 5th. However, ''Rewind'' has been on indefinite hiatus since the beginning of Chapter 2, with no apparent plans to restart it.

* {{Uncancelled}}: By [[invoked]]WordOfGod, the roleplay group was supposed to end with ''Reloaded'' out of a lack of interest for continuing it. They started up again with ''Rewind'', but swiftly turned itself into an OrphpanedSeries by the time Chapter 1 ended, starting just as Chapter 2 reveals its new areas to explore.
