Danganronpa: On Awa'atlu Shores

Summary:

Awa’atlu High has been shut since before Neteyam was born. Now, 16 years old, and he's trapped inside the building, off the grid. The bad news? Nobody knows he's here. Nobody knows the island even exists anymore. The worser news? He's not alone.

When the school locks down and a deadly game begins, survival turns into a test of loyalty, lies, and impossible choices. With every rule designed to turn students against each other, trust becomes a liability—and emotions are dangerous.

Every connection is a risk...where the wrong person is life or death.

With time running out, and a psychopath pulling the strings, the teenagers stranded are forced to confront their past, and protect their futures.

Nobody is truly innocent anymore.

Because in Awa’atlu, the rules are simple:
Stay alive. Trust no one.

Notes:

This was originally suggest as a writing prompt from Guest 'uhhh idk'. I loved the idea so much, I had to write a full story of it. Let me know if you'd like me to add some songs to the start of every chapter. Also, make sure to check out my other current works, 'Behind Closed Doors", or my current Oneshots. (That will update soon)

I actually need help on two things: One, do you want multiple perspectives, just one, or 3rd all the way? In comments pls...and also, if you would like two songs per chapter, which is something I already do, also let me know.

First Chapter is basically explaining the rules, since it's a lot to take in if you've never heard of Dangan Ronpa. So...basically, pls pay attention, I swear, it's easier if u read this first. First chapter will be out soon.
Peace chat.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Hey chat! Letting you know, I don't want this work reposted or re-published anywhere, even if it is under my name. You may download the file for personal use, but do not distribute it into anywhere. I am happy for it to be mentioned on Discord servers or likewise. Thanks!! ⊹ ࣪ ﹏𓊝﹏𓂁﹏⊹ ࣪ ˖ First up, I'd like to explain setting. Awa'atlu is an unoccupied island that everyone believed to have sunk in the Great Tsunami of the Atlantic. It's 2020, so mordern and filled with futuristic technology. But like....everyone's human. Is this making sense? It's kinda New Zealand/Maldives/sri lanka/Hawaii type-vibes and sooo aesthetic.
Everyone is human, but personalities are the same.

Danganronpa is originally a video game, but I think it has a novel series now? It's basically a who-dunnit type shit game, but the emotional underpinings of death and sacrafice have players hooked. Putting it simply, one step at a time: ⊹ ࣪ ﹏𓊝﹏𓂁﹏⊹ ࣪ ˖ What is Danganronpa? Danganronpa is a Japanese mystery visual novel game series created by Spike Chunsoft. At its core, it’s about: A group of elite students trapped in a closed environment, forced into a killing game, where murder is the only way to escape. The tone mixes psychological mystery, investigation, and courtroom-style debates. It's usually set in a classroom of an abadoned school, equppied with things the students need. The Basic Setup: Each game features around 15–16 students. Every student has a special talent called an “Ultimate” (e.g. Ultimate Detective, Ultimate Athlete). They are trapped in a school or facility and a robotic bear named Monokuma runs the game. (I will be adjusting that part slightly.) Monokuma sets the rules and enforces them. The Main Rule (The Killing Game) The rule that drives everything is simple: If you kill another student and get away with it, you are allowed to escape. If you are caught, you are punished and everyone else survives. This creates constant tension and paranoia. How the Game Works (Step by Step) 1. Daily Life Students live together under confinement of the building. You meet characters, learn about them, and build relationships. Each character usually has a distinct personality. Motives are introduced (pressure, secrets, time limits, etc.) 2. A Murder Happens Eventually, a student kills another student, the body is discovered. From this point on, the game enters investigation mode IMPORTANT: The person who kills is labelled 'The Blackened' 3. Investigation Students search the area for evidence. Gather clues, testimonies, and contradictions. Everything collected is used later in the trial. 4. Class Trial This is the most important part of the game. All surviving students participate in a trial where they: -Debate what happened -Point out lies or contradictions -Reconstruct the crime step by step Your goal: Identify the “Blackened” (the murderer)

5. The Outcome
There are only two possible results:
✅ Correct verdict
-The murderer is found
-The murderer is punished
-Everyone else survives and the game continues
or....
❌ Wrong verdict
-The murderer escapes
-Everyone else is punished
-Game over
This makes every trial extremely high-stakes.

Key Terms You’ll Hear
+Blackened – the person who committed the murder
+Class Trial – the group debate to find the killer
+Monokuma – the mastermind’s mascot and rule enforcer
+Ultimate – a student’s special talent

It's fairly simple to follow. I thought I'd also give you the cast of characters, as there are a lot of OC's
So, obviously, there will be Ao'nung, Tsireya, and Roxto. (Canon-ages)
Neteyam, Lo'ak, and Kiri. Tuk is not part of the game. (I couldn't do that to her.)
Ao'nung's friends in ATWOW, so Koro, Nashvi and Ongu are also in the game. (Nashvi has long hair, Koro kinda looks like Roxto, and Ongu has blond in his hair)
The adults (Jake, Tonowari, Neytiri, Ronal) are not directly involved.
And some others who I forget the names of haha.
Now ....the OC's../p>

First is Payxtul (I got this character from 'courtship' by Anonymous, go check that story out ASAP)
In my head he kinda looks like Billy Hargrove...but like obvs Navi-ish...even though they're human.

Next is Viro and Kyro
(They're twins) and they're like forest Navi. (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to use pictures off of pinterest, but basically they have long hair and golden eyes. Slim build.)
Viro is a boy and Kyro is a girl.
Then there's Mynx
She's another forest-like Navi, and she's VERY PRETTY! Coz she's human though, and we need diversity, imma make her a platnium blonde.

If anyone makes a fanart even remotley close to this.........i'd be forever eternally grateful so yeah.

also.....literally why is this site so hard to use.....i cant un-bold anything......pls someone explain... ty
