CHARACTER INFORMATION Name: Kokichi Ouma Canon: Danganronpa v3 Canon point: Post-death (mid chapter 5) Age: 16-17ish History:wiki ahoy
Personality: Kokichi is a little shit. That's all you need to know.
Okay, for real though:
Kokichi Ouma is a difficult character to pin down, and that's just the way he likes it. Self-identifying as a liar, he personifies the boy who cried wolf; even when he tells the truth, people tend to be doubtful. He lies constantly and oftentimes admits to it immediately. His honest moments are frequently made to sound like more lies. God forbid your life depends on understanding him, because he won't make that shit easy even in the direst of situations, and shit was pretty damn dire in the killing game he's coming from.
His title is the Ultimate Supreme Leader, and though even the other Ultimate students regard that with skepticism, it's actually legitimate and he has the skills to prove it. He's good at reading people and manipulating them to his own ends. Insanely smart, Kokichi is constantly ten steps ahead of even the Ultimate Detective in solving all the mysteries of the killing game. He thinks long term and always plans for the worst to a frankly insane degree – preparing hundreds of childish drawings so he can disguise the plans for the tools he designs among them, or writing a whole book's worth of a script for a classmate to use to impersonate him during a trial. However, he doesn't trust easily and he's more likely to use that big brain to fuck with everyone than he is to make anyone's life easier. He'll play the role of the villain if it accomplishes his goals, and if it means everyone hates him then so be it.
The thing is, he isn't a bad guy. His methods are definitely questionable, and he's an asshole even in his best moments, but ultimately he doesn't actually want to hurt anyone. He talks a big game about being soooo evil, but the organization he commands is a harmless group of literal clowns causing mischief for shits and giggles and specifically only engaging in petty, nonviolent crime. He loves his gang like family and he does seem to genuinely like most of his classmates even if he gives them all a hard time endlessly. He offers his support in strange, indirect ways, like subtly guiding others to the right answer during trials or expressing affection that he knows will be interpreted as more lies. It's hard to say for sure what his true feelings on any subject are – and that seems very intentional, as he uses his constant lying as a sort of safeguard to hide his real feelings and intentions – but he claims at one point to actually be a pacifist and that he prefers peace and solving conflict with games.
In less dire circumstances, he's mischievous and likes playing the villain in a more cartoonishly harmless sense. He still lies constantly and teases everyone and creates chaos, but he isn't malicious. His jokes and teasing can be pretty mean-spirited, especially when he's genuinely annoyed with someone, but they're just as often harmless or tailored to the individual – for instance, he's especially harsh and vulgar to Miu, but she's brash and vulgar herself and seems to enjoy the abuse anyway. Overall, he just likes to cause trouble. He's dramatic and expressive and childish and to some degree seems genuine about it, loving games and thinking it's good to be a little immature. He seems to genuinely enjoy being difficult to understand and he's delighted when someone tries anyway. Everything is a game of cat and mouse to him and he loves being chased, whether literally or figuratively.
On the negative end of things, he's kind of an asshat. He's callous about sensitive subjects and only some of that can be blamed on him intentionally playing the villain. He's attention-hungry and loves to cause scenes, and gets annoyed if ignored or people don't react like he wants them to. His trust issues combined with his arrogance result in him frequently working solo, unable to believe in anyone else and easily frustrated by people who can't keep up with him. He's logical when it's needed but often brutally so, blunt and shameless and willing to say the things everyone else is afraid to voice. Worst of all, he's a hypocrite. He's vicious in tearing apart other people's lies and gets extremely irritated when someone he trusts lies or when people who've voiced complaints about his own lying do it themselves. When annoyed, he gets petty and spiteful, and if he's unhappy then it's everyone's problem.
Overall, Kokichi is an experience. Handy if he's on your side, but a nightmare if he's working against you. Godspeed.
Powers/abilities: Nothing supernatural or whatever. Everything he's got going for him is completely mundane – unfortunately for everyone else, since that means he won't be losing any of it. He's good at games, and good at cheating at them when he feels like it. That sleight of hand also extends to the realm of petty crime, as he's got a talent for things like lockpicking and pickpocketing and sneaking into places he's definitely not meant to go. And he's got some amazing people skills and leadership qualities, even if he chooses to use them in only the most indirect and infuriating of ways.
Questions: ✽ What does your character consider to be their top three strengths? He's extremely smart, in a very analytic and cunning sort of way, and he definitely knows it. But he's also pragmatic enough to solve problems and make tough decisions – an important trait for a good leader, of course. And, in his own opinion, he knows how to have fun, and a lot of people really suck at that. ✽ What do others consider to be your character's greatest weakness? Other people could probably name many of Kokichi's faults, but the obvious answer for most people would probably be his inability to just tell the truth or be straightforward about anything. And if someone actually managed to be okay with all the lying, then it'd probably be his inability to trust and work with others. ✽ What are your character's three greatest fears? More than anything, he's afraid of being forgotten. Much of his whole persona and attitude stems from a need to be noticed and remembered, even if only in the most negative ways. But he's also afraid being betrayed, and of being rejected. It's safer to lie so much that no one can ever be sure what he really thinks or feels about anything. If no one can get close to anything "real", they can't really hurt him. ✽ What would your character choose for a last meal? A grape soda, and a variety of desserts that are all intensely complicated and/or time-consuming to make – an 100 layer crepe cake, baumkuchen, 100 hour brownies, whatever. Best case scenario, he buys himself enough time to come up with a way out of whatever is prompting this "last meal". And worst case scenario, he at least gets to eat something yummy and create a headache for the person preparing it. He's definitely not above being petty and spiteful on his way out. ✽ Has your character ever killed? If so, how did that affect them? If not, how would it affect them? Only indirectly. And despite all his "evil" talk, it seems unlikely that he would ever actually kill someone himself given his especially vicious attitude towards many of the murderers in the game, and the no-killing rule his organization had. He may cross that line in some very extreme circumstances if he truly had no other options, but it'd hit him hard. Of course, he'd compartmentalize and rationalize and talk a lot of shit about being totally cool with it while smothering all his actual feelings on the subject, but that much repression will fuck a person up sooner or later. ✽ If your character was given one selfish wish (eg. must be applied to themselves and not affect others), what would it be? He'd want DICE to be real and alive and safe and all that jazz. It doesn't count as affecting others if said "others" probably never actually existed, right? And it's definitely more a selfish wish than any kind of altruism, coming from him.
