⚠️ Potential spoilers for Danganronpa V3 and Mekakucity Actors! ⚠️
Before I start on anything, I just wanna say that I'm sorry for some of the awful designs here. We're getting to the more secondary characters, who will only show up in pictures or in flashbacks in the comic.
And, yes, comic! I decided that I'll make a comic out of this! It won't be updated on here as often as it will be on Instagram, as it will be semi-interactive on Instagram, but I promise I won't forget to post here!
Tumblr media
Anyway, moving on with our characters. First up is Kiibo, taking the place of Konoha!
He kills me. I seriously do love both Kiibo and Konoha.
Honestly, I really just made the connection at first because Kiibo is a robot and Konoha is Haruka's video game persona, but yeah. Taking another look at Konoha, he does kinda remind me of Kiibo (or at least, part of my pre-game headcannons of him) in a way.
While he does like both Rantaro and Miu, he seems to show slight more interest in Rantaro. Miu is somewhat annoyed by this, but she never says anything about it.
Because of his amnesia, Rantaro and Miu usually don't let him out alone, so he doesn't get lost. However, he does like to offer to run errands for the two of them.
Tumblr media
Next we have Kaede as Ayano. Kaede might not be my favorite protagonist, but she is still an amazing character so yeah-
Fun fact: I had Ayano's Theory of Happiness on repeat when I drew this. Why? Bc it's a good song, okay?
Moving on from that, I'm kinda really happy with this design. I know all I did was give her different hairpins, give her a scarf, and ma!e her shirt slightly longer, but shh. I still like it.
I see a lot of people putting Kokichi as Ayano because of him being the leader of D.I.C.E., but I fee like the loss of Kaede had a similar impact on Shuichi as the loss of Ayano did on Shintaro. They both had a big impact on the people around them, and I find their personalities similar, in a way.
Tumblr media
Moving on from that, we have a, uh... Male Tsumugi as Kuroha (this is where the spoilers really come in, guys).
I know the two look really different. Sorry for that. Though, I suppose it does make sense in a way, as Kiibo's power does allow him to change his form to be more ideal to him, so I guess the Snake could use that to his advantage.
Yes. The only reason I used Tsumugi for this is because she's the Mastermind. That's also why Junko is Azami (You know, because she's really just a character designed by Team Danganronpa? I dunno, I guess Tsumugi, or someone else working for Team Danganronpa, technically "told" her to to start the killing game, like how the Snake told Azami to make the Heat Haze Daze).
Tumblr media
Now we have the girl genius, Miu, as the one and only Hiyori.
There really isn't much to write for her. The descriptions will start getting shorter from here on out. Basically, it's just Miu, but more child friendly. But she still swears a bunch, because:
1. She's Miu.
2. She's a middle schooler. And if I know middle schoolers (at least where I went to school), they swear a lot.
Tumblr media
Finally, my least favorite design of this group, is the mom Kirumi as the mom Shion (plus some more about Himiko!)
I don't have much more to say about !irumi, but here's more on Himiko.
Basically, she was traumatized after her mother's death. She adopted a new last name because the idea of her mother hurt her far too much. She refused to leave the house after it, and instead got attached to books. Because of this, she developed an obsession with magic.
That's about all I have for now. There's five more left to finish before I start on the comic! Now, my wrist is hurting from holding up my tablet and I'm tired of typing, so I'm gonna stop now.

⚠️ Potential Spoilers for Mekakucity Actors and Danganronpa V3 ⚠️
So, this is something I started on Instagram, so I thought I'd also do it here (I'm not sure how good it'll do here, but yeah-). Still not exactly sure what I'll do with it here (Maybe asks or something? I don't know, I'm lost-), but I'll come up with something.
So, these characters are a mix of my pre-game headcannons, their in-game personality, and the personalities of the Mekakucity cast they take the place of.
Tumblr media
First, we have Maki as Kido.
Honestly, there wasn't much to change here. She's simply slightly more emotional than she is in V3, I guess. Not much for me to add that isn't already in the picture.
Tumblr media
Now, Kaito as Seto.
I know, Seto isn't exactly as confident as Kaito is, but hear me out. Basically, Kaito was lacking in self-confidence before. His inability to control his power made him hear things that he would rather not. He was a strange kid in his mind, he didn't think he fit in anywhere.
Then he met Himiko. He met her, and knew she was afraid, he knew she was also lacking in self-confidence. And so, he became more brave, just to help her. He gave her his jacket, originally given to him by Kaede, and took her to meet the rest of the group.
Tumblr media
Now onto Kokichi. He's Kano, another character I kind of adore.
So, yeah, the annoying prankster became another annoying prankster. Honestly, their personalities are really just too similar (though, Kokichi isn't that flirtatious-). I don't have much more to add here, tbh-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's Himiko as Marry, a design I might change later, I'm not too sure on hers yet.
I still love her, though! She's extremely quiet and shy at first, but gets a little more brave later on. She spends a lot of time with Angie and Tae, who help boost her confidence.
Because she doesn't know her birthday, the others decided to make it the day that Kaito found her. As for her age, Kokichi decided it would be appropriate to make her 17, just like the rest of them.
Tumblr media
The Ultimate Artist has become the Ultimate Pop Sensation! Here we have Angie as Momo!
She's you're regular happy-go-lucky Angie. She gets excited when she comes up with new ideas and does her best to follow through with them.
Every now and then, she regrets her decision to become an idol, but her friends (and big brother) are always there to remind her how great it is.
In the beginning, she had a very difficult time controlling her ability, making it difficult for her to go out in public. This caused her to isolate herself more than she'd like. However, after she met the group, they all helped her develop her ability more. This allowed her to go out more often without worrying about so many people crowding her.
I'll design a more casual outfit for Angie later on, but that's all I have for now.
Tumblr media
Out of all of the characters, Tenko is the only one that is used twice. Here's Tenko, or Tae, as Ene.
Like it says above, Tae is a virus on Shuichi's computer. She came in an email from am unknown sender. Even though she is a virus, she doesn't seem to have any I'll intent (except for the fact that she likes messing with Shuichi's files)
Even though she does like to pick on people, she does get worried when she notices they're in a bad state. Every now and then, when Shuichi really regrets not being there for Kaede, Tae will talk to him, trying to cheer him up.
Tumblr media
Here's the (main) protagonist himself, Shuichi as Shintaro! Honestly, it's basically just Shuichi in a casual outfit.
Being around too many people makes him extremely anxious, which is another reason he rarely leaves his room. Before Kaede died, he was more confident, but she was really the only person that had tried helping him overcome his social anxiety.
As he believes that pretty much everything has a simple answer, it was very difficult for him to accept that the reason for her death was as simple as everyone made it seem. Because if that, he spends the next two years of his life trying to figure out what had happened. Even after those two years, he continued searching for answers, but he wasn't getting any closer to the truth.
Now onto his relationship with Angie! They're step siblings and, honestly, they hardly know each other. After Ayano's death, he started hiding away in his room, rarely coming out. The only interactions they would really have would be the few times she brought him food because their mother was worried for him.
On top of that, with Angie being an idol, she is rarely home as is.
Because they never really got a chance to bond, he does his best when they both join the Dan. Though, it isn't exactly easy for Shuichi, as he doesn't know how to handle social situations too well.
Here's some stuff that's not too important: before Kaede died, Shuichi had dreamt of becoming a detective. He had a love for mystery novels and puzzle games.
Tumblr media
And lastly (for now), we have Rantaro as the one and only Hibiya.
Before I say ANYTHING else about him, I must emphasise, do NOT ship him with anyone else in this AU! He is a middle schooler, while the rest of them are either in their last year of highschool or graduated (not counting Angie, because if you know Momo... Yeah). The only one that he could possibly be shipped with here is Miu, or Hiyori, who is cannonically Hibiya's crush. Small rant over, carrying on.
I like the idea of pre-game Rantaro being a real cocky asshole, do woo. This kid is a mix of a complete asshole and a legitimate nice person, depending on his mood or who he's around.
After losing Miu, he became emotionally distant, trying to push people away from him. He tries to act like he doesn't care about losing his best friend, but it all gets to him later on. He remembers a good amount of the looks pretty well, even the ones in which he dies. With the knowledge of how many times awful events have unfolded in front of him, it's definitely done some damage.
And so, there we are. The first right characters of what I'm calling "Dangancity Actors". If you managed to put up with me and rad through this all, thank you so much. If you're here from Instagram, this is where you'll get more information on the characters, bc honestly I can't bother writing this much on Instagram. Until next time!
