Kin no Keifu

Genealogy of Gold
A new boarding school has opened up in the cold mountains, one that calls itself Scelus High. It is an extremely exclusive boarding school, inviting in only students they find most promising. It's funded by an anonymous source, and the first batch has only fourteen available slots. It preaches a revolutionary theory: that a school can be run without teachers. And, in an attempt to prove that, the only staff available are uninvolved in the learning of any students.

It seemed like either a dream or the product of a coke-addled headmaster when people first joined, but it's unsurprisingly not. Instead, the headmaster has a single student placed among the others to gather information about psychological reactions- the reactions of typical adolescents under both harmonious and... stressful situations.




Long story short, it's basically a vaguely edited version of Danganronpa. It's not a Danganronpa roleplay, but it uses a basic conflict that's pretty much synonymous with it now. I want to implement a different trial system and different consequences for failing to escape being branded guilty, but otherwise it's very similar.

Ooh, I'd be interested in joining this!
 
Great! I'm thinking through the logistics of what the trial system should work like. Should I post a character sheet here?
 
Also, I tried to add a sort of bilingual bonus in the title. If you're interested in knowing, I got Scelus from Google Translate. It's in Latin.
 
Proposed trial system:

A description is posted of the murder scene. Every character gets thirty minutes (three posts each character) to study the surroundings and twenty minutes (two posts each) to interview everyone for their alibis. Then ten minutes (one post) to vote. This is done to heighten the amount of stress each character is in and so further the anonymous funder's (AKA the Monokuma's/Mastermind's) studies. If two or more students die in the same space of time, there will be separate investigation-interview-voting times per student.

Proposed victim choosing:

There will be a poll posted every time the headmaster (the anonymous funder's metaphorical puppet) gives a specific time limit for a murder to happen. Members of the RP will vote on which character they think will die. Any murder plans are submitted to the GM via PM. There can be plans for any character, but for the character voted most likely to die, the very first plan sent will be pushed through. There can be two or more murders at once, but the GM may have to give the murderers the ability to disprove other murderers's alibis if they saw them in a suspicious place- that is, if they are willing to destroy their own alibi.
 
Proposed punishments:

The trials don't always have to be right. Innocent or guilty? No-one cares. The person voted as murderer will die anyway. Then, their guilt or innocence will be revealed by the headmaster. An innocent's method of death will then be voted on by any unvoted members. Too merciful and the anonymous funder WILL produce his or her own method. The clues for who the funder is may be interspersed in every method of punishment.

Proposed funder choosing:

Will be chosen by d20. Send dice numbers to the GM. Whoever has the lowest score is the funder who runs this fake school. If the lowest score is the same amongst two people, the one with the highest score is the funder. If it's the same amongst both, goddamnit, we all re-roll. These will all be sent by PM. The funder will be informed by a PM following the choosing.
 
Proposed funder finder:

After two murders have been commited, the students are given two trials to find the funder hidden amongst them. These trials can be called at literally any time. There are fifty minutes (five posts) to study the funder's current actions, ten minutes (one post) to interview the surviving students, and ten more minutes to vote. The innocence or guilt of the accused will be revealed, and execution will happen in the same fashion as with murder trials.
 
Proposed escape:

If someone can commit four murders without getting caught, they are given an in-story night to escape the school. They may also take any student with them. However, if the escape fails, the student who murdered less than four times is executed and the four-time murderer is revealed as a killer to his or her classmates, who will choose the punishment to be given to him or her.

I'll have to ask players to send two dark secrets in PMs if you want to join. I'll make a separate thread for the character sheets if anyone wants to be a part of the RP.
