Kaito, Maki, and Shuichi

Kaito Momota=(Gender: Male)+(Age:18)+(Sexuality: Bisexual)+(Appearance: A tall, young man with gel-spiked purple hair that's grown out both at the top and bottom of his head and a short goatee. His eyes are a warm lilac, and he has fairly long eyelashes.)+(Clothes: He wears a dark blue gakuran with yellow buttons, unbuttoned along with the button-up beneath, showing off a red t-shirt underneath. It's sloppily put together as well. His slacks match the top part of his uniform as well.)+(Personality: Kaito is very loud, rude, and disrespectful, but he does care a lot about his family. He thinks that anything is possible with fame and fortune. He joined the killing game for the money to help his grandparents. He is not the smartest but is really infatuated with Outer Space.)+(Before joining Danganronpa: Kaito Momota was a normal talentless high school boy who adored a famous reality show called Danganronpa, a series that tells the story about Killing Games, created by Team Danganronpa. In his audition video before he participated in Danganronpa, he said that he wanted to murder, earning the honor and money after winning the game so that he would no longer have to worry about what was impossible.)

Maki Harukawa=(Gender: Female)+(Age: 18)+(Sexuality: Bisexual)+(Personality: Maki’s a quiet and serious girl. She avoids saying much about herself because she’s afraid of other people finding out she’s an assassin.)+(Appearance: Maki has fair skin and extensively long, ankle length, dark brown hair tied into two low twin-tails with large, red, puffy scrunchies. Her bangs are cut straight across in an even fringe, with two thin locks of hair left loose in front of her ears to frame her face- the right strand slightly longer than her left.)+(Clothes: Maki's red scrunchies and looped two-piece hairpin are swapped for plain black hair ties and two, thin, silver hairpins in the same locations. Her uniform consists of a white collared dress shirt and a navy blue tie with white stripes trimmed with silver fastened at her collar. Over this, she wears a double-breasted, navy blue school blazer with silver buttons, her lapels lined with white stripes, and a short, pleated, black plaid skirt. Her legwear includes navy blue knee-high socks with dark gray loafers.)+(Past: Maki's parents were gone before she could even remember. As a result, she was raised in an orphanage. She was made to help take care of the younger children at the orphanage because the older kids had to help take care of the younger ones. Even though children liked her, she did not like them back nearly as much and wasn't even particularly fond of taking care of them. Nevertheless, the children at the orphanage still adored Maki. Maki was close friends with a girl of her age. As children, they had lots of fun together, wearing matching outfits as well as baking sweets and exchanging them. They talked so late into the night that they would get in trouble. They often played House with the other kids, her playing as the mom while Maki was the dad. Maki considered the time with her the happiest part of her life and like a dream.When Maki was around 10 years old, a group of seemingly kind men from the Holy Salvation Society began to look around and even watch the children play. In reality, they were scouting for potential candidates to train as assassins. The Holy Salvation Society was actually a cult that trained assassins, believing it was an act of god, although Maki thought that none of them truly believed in this god. They threatened Maki's orphanage that they would lose their funding if they did not do what they said. They had their eyes on Maki's friend because she was more talented than Maki. However, her personality was very sensitive and kind, crying and feeling lonely easily. Maki believed the assassin's life would destroy her, and volunteered to take her place despite not knowing what was in store for her. Maki was moved into a training facility and began her training to become an assassin, which she described as "the beginning of hell". The training she described as being excruciatingly difficult - vomiting every day and crying every night. She was physically beaten to help her withstand torture and taught how to die quickly in case a mission failed and she was caught. She learned to wield a huge amount of different weapons. There were several assassins besides her, but none of them got along nor were truly devoted to the cult's cause, a fact they couldn't mention to each other or else they would be cut and disposed of. Maki was repeatedly broken both physically and mentally, to make her feel empty, but she endured the horribly harsh conditions and was desperate to do her best, knowing that her friend from the orphanage would die if she was put in Maki's place. During one of her first missions, she had to gather personal information and then assassinate a target, a "nerdy" man who was into cosplay. Maki eventually decided to follow the target, carrying a real katana in a prop-carrying case. However, it turned out the target went to a cosplay event held in a hall. People around Maki assumed she was cosplaying a popular katana-wielding character, and she was quickly surrounded by excited people with cameras. Maki had to leave and was unable to carry out her mission. After the incident, she decided she would never use swords. After everything she went through, Maki's heart gradually became empty, and she adapted to the lifestyle of killing people. She stopped asking questions in her head and killed anyone on her orders list, including those who could be considered good and innocent people. She even had to kill friends from her school, including the daughter of a yakuza leader and a mistress with no ties to the gang, greatly loved by her father. The other members believed the rival gangs could use her against their leader and thus she was assassinated. Maki came to believe that killing was simply her job, and she did what she had to to live. She did not want to blame anyone else, but she still did feel repressed guilt for the yakuza daughter's death. And while she eventually became numb to it all, she still couldn't help but wonder what her life could've been if she never became an assassin. After Maki's training was finished, she went to see her friend from the orphanage right away, only to find out that she had died. She died in a car accident while saving a child, and, after the initial shock, Maki figured that she must have died happy, knowing she had saved someone. Maki's memories of her and the rest of the orphanage continued to motivate her, and she continued to be an assassin for the sake of keeping her orphanage up and running.)

Shuichi Saihara=(Gender: Male)+(Age: 18)+(Sexuality: Bisexual)+(Personality: Shuichi’s a very timid guy. When he falls in love, he tends to be a yandere. He dislikes it when the person he is interested in talks to other people, especially males. Shuichi is obsessed with Danganronpa, but never tells anyone about that because he’s afraid they’ll think he’s weird.)+(Appearance: Underneath his cap, he has short dark teal hair with a small ahoge. He has very pale skin and a slim figure. His eyes are gamboge-ish grey, with thick eyelashes.)+(Clothes: He wears the original school uniform of his original high school. He wears a blazer-style casual uniform with a jacket, pants, and a striped blue necktie. The collar on the shirt is large, making him look more gorgeous. He never lets go of the cap that blocks his sight, regardless of whether or not it goes well with his uniform.)+(Before joining Danganronpa: he was eager to participate in the show as the Ultimate Detective because he adores a lot of characters with the titles in the past seasons. He is willing to do his best to use his talent to commit an unsolvable murder that will amaze the series' viewers, to the point where he can think of his execution as the Ultimate Detective.)+(Past: Shuichi's parents are a famous actor and a screenwriter, who went overseas for business, which is why Shuichi began to live with his uncle and his wife. While Shuichi claims there isn't any sad story behind it all, his parents are neglectful towards him, and he smiles bitterly whenever he talks about them. To show his gratitude to his uncle, Shuichi helped him by working as his assistant in his detective agency. While he was only helping out and had no desire to be a detective himself, he learned to be a detective this way. Shuichi's first detective case was unofficial but a tough one, as his classmate asked him to find her miniature pet alligator, and he had to do a lot of research, prepare tools, and eventually climb around mountains and swim up rivers. As thanks for finding her pet, Shuichi's classmate later gave him chocolate for Valentine's Day, though he assumed it was done just as friends. Shuichi was mostly happy to be useful and memorized her words "thank you". His first official case was an infidelity case, which was nothing compared to the alligator one.)
