Danganronpa: Art of Despair
Project Overview
Danganronpa: Art of Despair is a Danganronpa fan project developed for the last year. It's about art, how despair can change it, and how it serves as a beacon of hope.
All the characters, overarching story and background is mostly done. I'm also writing the first two cases at the moment, but for that I really want to know how the characters look, because their designs can impact who is able to do what.
Story summary: You play as James Miller, this year's Ultimate Ordinary Student at Freedom's Future Academy - the Ultimate school for American high schoolers. On the day you're supposed to start your journey as an Ultimate, you and fifteen other soon-to-be Ultimate students are locked up in what looks to be Freedom's Future by a maniacal mascot called Monuki (He's very angry when you call him a racoon, he's actually a tanuki). You can probably guess what happens next!
Another thing that is special about this project is the worldbuilding, I love worldbuilding so I tried to do it as much as possible in a Fanganronpa. For example there are actually four Ultimate schools:
Hope's Peak Academy in Tokyo (Japan), Freedom's Future Academy in NYC (USA and Canada) Academy for Exquisite Youth in London (UK) and Talent Evolution Academy in Berlin (Europe).
All of them scout about 32 new high school students in their own territory that have extreme talent in their field called 'Ultimates', in addition all of them focus on understanding one part of humans: Luck, Ordinarity, Intuition and Learning respectively by finding a student that has those respective traits saturated compared to others, meaning there are Ultimate Lucky Students, Ultimate Ordinary Students, Ultimate Forecasters/Intuitive Students and simply Ultimate Students. No class in an Ultimate school can hold more than 18 students.
Actually to say all of them scout their whole year would be a lie, Academy for Exquisite Youth scouts too many students to take on (they always have only a single class with about 16 students), so every year, few UK students take a place in other 3 schools. For example in James' year, Garfield Brown - the Ultimate Art Forger is one of those students.
Here are the Character Summaries if anyone wants to read more about all of them!

I'm doing most of writing, but it still would be nice to have someone to brainstorm with and proofread my ideas. When we get to actually writing dialogue I'd like you to write some of it too, but it's not a requirement.
