'"Three-dimensional chess" is used colloquially to describe complex, dynamic systems with many competing entities and interests, including politics, diplomacy and warfare. To describe an individual as "playing three-dimensional chess" implies a higher-order understanding and mastery of the system beyond the comprehension of their peers or ordinary observers. (Wikipedia)'

''You wake up on a stone cold floor. Darkness envelops the room, and you can’t see more than a few feet away from you. You try to stand up, but glaring lights turn on, suddenly illuminating the room and causing you to fall back down in surprise. As your eyes adjust, you notice other people around you, appearing to be in the same situation you are.''

''Looking around, the floor is a black and white checkerboard pattern, and each person is standing in their own square. The room is 8 blocks by 8, and you notice on the other side, human-sized white chess pieces tower above you. Where the king would be is a strange bear- one half blue and one half black, both sides strangely swirled.''

The bear looks at you.

“Alright, then! You’re all here! I’m Rasenkuma, and now, I’ll explain your predicament.”

“One! You’re in a school with 5 floors. There are 25 rooms on each floor, in a five by five array. Right now, you guys are in the middle of the basement.”

“Two! You are all Ultimates, people who unnaturally excel at certain subjects or fields. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Each of you has their own special abilities, which will help you in the game I’m getting too.”

“Three! You cannot get out of this school. You will be stuck here forever. Try to escape, and you’ll probably be killed by my clones. Even if you’re the Ultimate Fighter, you won’t be able to beat me. So, basically, don’t bother trying to get away.”

“Four! The previous statement is false. You can get away, but on a certain condition.”

“Five! That condition is to kill someone. You need to commit the murder of one of your fellow Ultimates to get free. Should you succeed in this, I’ll happily let you go. Also, if you’re one of the last two players left, I’ll let you go free, too. Probably.”

“Six! However, should you murder someone, once the body is discovered, a Class Trial will be held! You will all be told to investigate and try to find who the murderer is. Once the trial begins, everyone will attempt to vote for them. If the majority has the right suspect, then they’re executed instead of getting away. But if you pick the wrong suspect, they and everyone who voted for them will be executed, except the murderer, who will be freed!

If the killer had an accomplice, someone who helped them kill, then they can be executed, as well. In trials, everyone may vote for as many people as they want. However, if you vote for more than one person, unless everyone you voted for was a murderer or an accomplice, you will die! Accomplices can only be executed if the majority of players vote for both them and the murderer, or there is a tie between them and the murderer. If an accomplice is not caught, they will not be executed even if they voted for someone who wasn’t the murderer, and will be granted many, many benefits. ”

“Seven! Look at your bracelets. On your right arm. They contain a map of the school, the Ultimate and abilities of everyone around you, and your NG code.”

“Eight! On the topic of NG codes! They are your forbidden action, that is, should you violate them, you will immediately die. The bracelets, which cannot be removed, will inject lethal poison into your body. However, I’ll make an offer to you all. If you want, that is, if the majority vote for it, the NG codes will not be activated. However, there’s a catch. Should this be established, a murder must be committed within the first two days, or everyone will die. After that, another person must be killed every two days, or the NG codes will be activated.”

“Nine! Some of you are special. The Mastermind is the secret orchestrator of this event, who pretends to be a regular person, with the actual goal of having everyone die. They get special powers. Even more of have special goals to accomplish here.”

“Ten! Have fun!”

“You will all be brought to your dorms shortly.”

A blue gas fills the room, and you pass out.

Meta stuff, I guess

Fighting will be done via 5x5 chess games. You will get pieces for each of your limbs or weapons, and powers may grant you special or extra pieces. In these games, your king represents your head. If it is put in checkmate, you will probably die. However, there is no check in these games- I won’t tell you when your life is in danger. If the enemy captures your king, your fault. Additionally, since generally limbs aren’t just cut off with simple punches, you may place any of the pieces your opponent has captured on your side in their original starting position, passing your turn. There are exceptions to this, such as if the opponent has a powerful weapon. The attacker is white.

Unlike in other DR games, everyone knows everyone else’s abilities, except for the Mastermind’s extra abilities, or those of any other special role. You don’t know the NG code of other players, however.

Turn-taking is… kinda complicated, but you don’t really need to consider it. If you move too much in too short a time, you’ll end up exhausted, and I’ll automate moves for you if you’re not responding and in obvious danger. If you kill someone, you kinda toki wo tomare and get to do a bunch of crap.

And uh if there are any other normal Danganronpa rules I forgot to talk about, or didn’t directly change or deny, they’re probably true. You can ask if you want.
