Cookie is a relatively canon-compliant post-death Ouma from a universe where the killing game was not a simulation and this is his afterlife. He is the head of a new faction of DICE he founded here after his death. He suffers from a lot of chronic pain, fatigue, breathing and eating issues, and is relatively bedridden due to his death.
His lies often follow various "shticks" that call back to the lying habits of the members of his old DICE. At it's core though, he bases his lies on the "Boy Who Cried Wolf" method, where he leans so heavily into the fact he is a liar, that he makes even his truths sound like lies to hide them in plain sight.
He is a regressor whose regression is primarily triggered by stress and traumatic triggers. His age ranges from 3-6 years old and his favorite things are milk, Mimi, and DICE in that order. (But that's a lie.)
Notable canon divergences: He struggled with his regression heavily throughout the killing game, acting overly childish on purpose to hide it as being deliberately annoying. DICE existed pregame, and one of his subordinates died in season 52. His joining season 53 was a deliberate choice to avenge her and bring Team Dangan down. His plan to trick Monokuma in Chapter 5 actually worked, resulting in Momota avoiding execution and the class being released early without the need for a sixth trial or Saihara ever seeing his room or Amami's lab.

Kichi is possibly(?) from a time loop AU with a current tally of 162 and a heavily canon-divergent pregame. He came from seconds before the press touched him, and has been struggling with the dilemma of going back to finish the job for years. He's not entirely sure whether this time he'll actually die or if the whole loop will start over again, and it's unclear whether he actually remembers the loops or if he just made up the entire time loop story as a lie to begin with. He claims he only knows what number they're on because of tallies he finds carved into the underside of his bed frame. He is a member of Cookie's DICE, and often steps in as "Substitute Ultimate Supreme Leader" when Cookie needs a break.
His lies often come in the form of games of pretend and entertaining alternate realities to escape his trauma. The killing game seems to have tainted his view of lies to the point of an identity crisis as he struggles with delusions and compulsively telling the truth.
He is a regressor whose regression is primarily triggered by stress and trauma, but he rarely allows himself the time to properly regress as he takes on a lot of responsibility helping other Kokichis as the muse who's been here the longest. His age ranges from 3-6 years old and his favorite things are Taro-kun, his twin brother, and his adoptive dads. He hates hospitals, but that's a lie.
Notable canon divergences: Time loop. DICE did not exist pregame. He was a charge at some sort of hospital-like facility before being put on Danganronpa.

Loopy is also from a time loop AU with a current tally of 82. He came from the beginning of his current loop, right after Amami told him about the time loop's existence. He doesn't remember anything from past loops, but has residual anxieties and triggers from past deaths that he has no context to beyond what Amami, the prime looper, has told him.
He's a lot softer than most other Oumas, likely due to the fact he doesn't remember much about the traumas he's faced in the killing game. Because of that, his approach to problems is a lot kinder and more optimistic.
Notable canon divergences: Time loop. Also, he was Mikan's baby brother, and was raised by her and the other Remnants during the Tragedy before being rescued by the FF and put in foster care, changing his last name to Ouma. He has mixed feelings about this.

Joker is another time looper, but this time with a whopping 467 loops under his belt. After being trapped for so long, he's become quite jaded and doesn't seem to care about much besides his Amami. Both he and his Amami are prime loopers and remember everything, but he kept this a secret from his Amami until he was outed here. That's a lie, he's not a prime looper at all!
He gets caught up in overthinking things, with spiraling thoughts often left unchecked. His compulsive lying has become so pervasive to survive in the killing game that telling the truth too much makes him physically ill.
Notable canon divergences: Time loop. The Tragedy really happened, and THH and SDR2 were real, and Hope's Peak has been reestablished by Naegi. The show was made post-reconstruction, and the killing games there are simulations. DICE existed pregame, and one of his subordinates joined in season 52 because the group was short on cash. His joining season 53 was a deliberate choice to avenge her mistreatment and bring Team Dangan down while also exhibiting his Talent in hopes of getting scouted by the real Hope's Peak.

Koko is another relatively canon-compliant Ouma, like Cookie, but taken seconds before death. He was close enough, however, that he's suffering from the lingering effects of the poison and as such is bed-bound and struggles to breathe a lot of the time. He's contemplating the merits of going back to just get it over with.
He is a regressor, but unlike the other regressors so far, he is permaregressed (which means he is regressed all the time), due to the traumatic nature of his plan in Chapter 5 triggering his regression before he got here. His age ranges around 3 or 4 years old and he is extremely clingy with his Momota.

Bindle is an early-game Kokichi who stumbled across his Amami moments after Shirogane struck him with the shotput ball and watched him die in his arms. He didn't see Shirogane himself, but found out it was her after he was pulled here along with Amami. He plans to go back to end the killing game with this knowledge and commit suicide in the process so that he can stay here with his Amami.
He is a regressor, and seems to be permaregressed like Koko after the traumatic event of watching Amami, who he was very close with, die. His age ranges around 6 or 7, sometimes as high as 9.
Notable canon divergences: DICE did not exist pregame, but he seems to claim they are around anyway, possibly as alters or something similar. It's also come to light that his pregame may have been similar to Kichi's with him in some kind of institution before being put on Danganronpa.

Petty is from yet another time loop AU, with a tally of 97 loops. Like Joker, he and his Amami both are prime loopers and remember every loop. He had originally been keeping this a secret from Amami, but was found out in his current loop after a situation where Amami befriended and told Maki about the loops, only for him to die and the run to keep going while Petty was still alive, proving that there were in fact two prime loopers.
He gets bored extremely easily and is a lot more brazen with the crocodile tears. He often makes morbid jokes about having cannibalized his Amami (a lie).
Notable canon divergences: Time loop.
Cusp is a relatively canon-compliant Ouma like Cookie, however he had a major relationship with Amami before the killing game, proven by the fact they seem to have swapped right canines at some point in the past. Due to the memory wipe, neither of them remember this, but desperately want to. He is from an AU of a fic my partner wrote but hasn't posted yet. As a DOA, he suffers much the same symptoms as Cookie, with chronic pain, fatigue, and organ difficulties, but much more severe as his arrival is more recent.
He is a regressor whose regression is triggered primarily by stress, and thus had been regressed for a while since his arrival. Nowadays he's been fighting it in favor of being there for his Amami. His age ranges around 4 or 5 and he's very sleepy and whiny.
Notable canon divergences: DICE existed pregame, and he and Amami knew each other and were close enough to make a pact by switching teeth when they were younger.

Ender is a heavily canon-divergent Ouma on the verge of death in Chapter 1 after being struck with the shot put ball in the library by his Amami, who was coerced into being the mastermind in their universe. He's not quite dead yet, but he and his Amami are staying here for the time being to get their bearings and figure out next steps. Like Koko, he's close enough to death that he's suffering from the residual traumatic brain injury, resulting in chronic fatigue and head fog on the rare occasions that he's conscious, as well as seizures.
Notable canon divergences: Amami is the mastermind in his universe, possibly coerced into the position by Team Danganronpa after surviving season 52. Ender was getting a bit too inconvenient for the writing team, and demanded Amami lure him to the library and make him the first death to get him out of the way.
Gemini is a relatively canon-compliant Ouma who became very close to his Momota over the course of their time spent in the exisal hangar during Chapter 5. He promised Momota that by the time they met again in Hell, he'd have already taken over. Unfortunately, like Cookie and Cusp, he suffers the same post-death trauma, and wasn't able to do much to act on that promise before his Momota got here.
He is a regressor who seems to regress to squarely 3 years old, though he tends to shy away from openly regressing. To keep himself from slipping, he tends to distract himself with excessive sexual promiscuity and other Grown Up things.
Notable canon divergences: It was discovered that his DICE actually consisted of the entire V3 class, with his Momota as the second in command. They were a secret organization working to compete against the Future Foundation's wrongful monopoly on Tragedy reconstruction. They were eventually discovered by Future Foundation and captured, their memories tampered with, and placed in the killing game. Gemini was the only one who knew their true history, but could not disclose it due to an enforced compulsion to lie. It is unclear if in his universe, Team Danganronpa was a part of the Future Foundation or another entity that they were cooperating with.

Moonpie is a relatively canon-compliant Ouma who was pulled from the middle of Chapter 5 while he was hiding out in the hangar in an attempt to warn him of Maki's plan and save him from himself. He does not seem interested in rescue and has since been adamant about wanting to return to his world, but has been refused on account he cannot be trusted not to allow himself to get hurt.
He is very prickly, as he is at the height of his paranoia in the killing game. He has mentioned his DICE before, referring to them using chess-related code names, however it is possible that he is from a Real Fiction universe. This is yet to be confirmed. Little else is known about him on account he doesn't talk much unprompted.
Notable canon divergences: None confirmed. It is suspected that he may be from a Real Fiction universe, implying DICE and his Talent are not real.
