DR: Roses And Ruin.

Characters.

Zikokou: The main character of DRNR. Her father, IT (Irae as human she and IT and are all entities and main characters in my OCverse) works in an assassin agency as the main boss, as does her sibiling, Minx. She’s not old enough to work in her father’s agency yet, though, so spends most—if not all— her time alone, drowning in her own self-loathing. Her only real friend is Maddox. For personality, i’d say she’s a lot like Kyoko Kirigiri from Danganronpa 1: Trigger Happy Havoc.

Maddox: Maddox is the main support of DRNR. He’s often seen as ‘emo’ on the outside, but on the inside he’s as bubbly as the next guy. He struggles a lot with how he feels about himself. He sees his brothers and father and wants to be like them. grown-up and mature.. but all he feels is childish. He’s always harbored a secret crush for Zee since their childhood, but can’t get the bravery to tell her. As for his personality, It’s more like Makoto Naegi from DR 1: THH.

Yoru: Yoru is our main antagonist. This fun trickster’s always sending the world topsy-turvy, especially for Haru. His struggles—while not explicitly stated— are most likely how much he genuinely dislikes the Killing Game, which influenced his decision in the last chapter. His personality is like.. a ruder Kokichi Oma from DR: 3: Killing Harmony.

Haru: Haru is quite standoffish and swears that she does NOT need friends. though, she seems to be warming up to Yama—or maybe having a secret crush on her!— Yoru is constantly pissing her off, but she for some reason believed what he said due to the current state she was in at the time. Her personality is just like Maki Harukawa from DR3: Killing Harmony.

Yama: Yama also keeps to herself most of the time unless she’s having the smallest of conversations with Haru. Everyone usually feels safe around her, most likely because she’s extremely experienced in fighting others when in danger. She’ll protect anyone in need when she sees fit, but Yama is always going to go out of her way to save Hiko, which is probably why she did what she did. Her personality is much like Peko Pekoyama of DR2: Goodbye Despair.

Hiko: No one knows much of Hiko. (He’s a zombie i should mention lol) He mostly ignores others— especially Yama.— unless he’s making a rude remark. Most people don’t try to mess with Hiko.. they’re likely to get burned if they play around with fire, if you get what i mean. His personality is quite like Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu of DR2.

Imoutou: Imoutou is also a quiet fellow, only speaking when he sees fit. (uses she/he pronouns) He’s secretly head over heels for Ki-Ra, but can’t even tell what’s real or fake due to his slowly worsening schizophrenia. (It’s too late anyways.) His father, a skilled surgeon, used to have him watch shows with doctors like him as a child. Of course, he’d been scarred for life, but it only taught him what he needed to know, which is why he helps everyone when they need autopsies of the bodies.

Ki-Ra (K1-R4): It’s her. Kira is quite intelligent, but seems to not understand most humans. Everyone plays this off as simply Kira “not reading faces” or “not getting them.” Though, thanks to [REDACTED] she has learned to love in the wrong way.

loise: Eloise is extremely shy, Taro being the only one she can calm down with. She has one prosthetic leg, and usually carries her plush bear around when she’s not at school. She’s genuinely okay, just a little shy. She only became worse after.. that. Her personality is much like that of Mikan Tsumiki from DR2.

Taro: Taro is quite snappy. He and Hiko often get into a few scuffles. Probably why he said what he said. Major trust issues. Only he and Eloise get along. Often times, you can find him in the classroom or Library, reading and writing poetry.

Nami: Oh, Nami. The gyaru of the class. She’s popular all around the Elsyum Acadamy, known for her loud mouth and even louder style. One thing about her is that she loves to eat… more than she should. Lino, worried about his friend gaining too much weight, helps her. Her personality is like a mix of Miu Iruma of DR3, and Akane Owari of DR2.

Lino: Big guy, i must say. You might think that his trauma is overexertion from working out so much, but really it’s not. it all started after he saw what he did to her. He’s felt guilty, selfish, and also felt like he couldn’t help anyone, no matter how strong he got.

Guji: Oh, you. Guji. Well.. i’ll just say it like it is, then. He’s manipulative, a liar, quite the narcissist, and too obsessed with anthropology, so it’s no surprise he’s based off of Korekiyo Shinguji, DR3. (not saying he’s manipulative/a liar/a narcissist, just the anthropology part) There’s really nothing good about him. This loner is always lurking when you aren’t suspecting.

Takawa: the chuunibyou of the class, Taka. If you know what a chuunibyou is, you probably guessed that she’s based off of Gundham Tanaka of DR2. Her alter ego is called the “Voidflare Seraph” with an 'evil eye' that is activated by a full moon. She often tries making friends with others by trying to 'impress them' with her 'dark magic,' and fails every time. she’s a loner, too. But when she gets angry.. she gets angry. doesn’t matter why.

Miuni: big fat simp. siiimmmpppppp..!!! gamer boy who won’t touch grass. let’s keep this vague, people. Obsessed with Korra.. so don’t be surprised when i say he’s based off of Kazuichi Soda from DR2.

Korra: last, but most certainly not least.. Korra. Ignorant of most, if not all her classmates, she is definitely based off of Byakuya Togami of DR1. Actually so attractive that most of Elsyum Academy has probably had a crush on her once before moving on to someone who would care.

Perfection. Now for the..

Plot.

At Elsyum Academy, an elite school known for producing the nation’s top talents, a group of students find themselves trapped in a twisted game orchestrated by a mysterious figure. Forced into a series of deadly trials, the students must navigate treacherous motives, hidden agendas, and their own personal struggles. Bonds are tested, alliances are formed, and secrets come to light as they struggle to survive.

Each chapter challenges the students’ trust in one another, and the line between friendship and deception blurs. To escape the academy alive, the survivors must unravel the truth behind the game, confront the manipulations at play, and confront the darkness hidden within themselves.

Roses bloom, but ruin awaits those who falter…

Miscellaneous

there are no Ultimates since this takes place randomly, and there is no real planned killing game.
