Han, the protagonist, is just a simple, ordinary man of forty-seven. He's always very polite, no matter what, and very kindhearted. He is the father of Riku Sawamatsu.
"Hm... I'm not particularly a fan of introductions. They're always so... awkward for me, so please forgive me, child. But, I am Han Xiaolian, your Culinary teacher. Let's just try to have a good year, yes?"
"I believe that is incorrect, child."
"...No. Absolutely not. Please, if this is a joke, it isn't very funny. Murder is not to be taken lightly."
Tiffany is, to put it bluntly, a bitch. She's exactly how one might imagine your typical popular high school girl--but much more likely to speak her mind and tell you just what she thinks of you, even if it hurts. She does have a softer side to her, though she refuses to admit it.
"Why do you care about who I am, old man? What, are you some kinda creep who likes teenage girls? Ahahahah! Don't get so upset! That was only a joke, you know! Ugh... Well, if you really wanna know... I'm Tiffany. Tiffany Moore, the SHSL Cheer Captain? Don't tell me you haven't heard of me. No way!"
"Look, I don't care, alright?! Don't you have anything better to do than talk to me? I'm out of your league. Get that through your thick fucking skull, okay?! Now, run along and go bitch to your friends already. I've got better things to do than waste my time with a piece of shit loser like you."
"If you really think we're about to kill each other, there's definitely something wrong with you. Like, listen, I know I'm not the nicest person around, but not even I would stoop as low as murder."
King is a very mysterious fellow, and comically is like your typical New York City mobster trope--though he's got the bravery of a rabbit. He's not a good person by any means, though, no matter how much he tries to make himself out to be.
"Huhwha? M' name? Ahah, well... Shit, I didn' think I'd get this far--Fuck, uhh, folks call me King! As for m' talent, well, that's a secret. ...Yeah, I know everyone says M' th' SHSL Mobster or whateva', but... don' believe them, okay? Y... Y' don' believe them, right? Right?"
"H- Hey! Look, I- I've done nothin' wrong, okay? Nothin'! So what did I do t' deserve this fuckin' treatment 'round here, huh?! M' a good guy, I swear!"
"What now? Y' want us t' do what?? Kill each other? Ahah! Bwahahahah!! Oh m' god, that's priceless, Bud! That's gotta be one o' th' funniest jokes I've heard yet! ....You are jokin', right?"
Riku is the daughter of the protagonist, Han. She's goth, and loves ghosts and demons and basically anything paranormal. She is just a little bit spoiled, though, and will snitch on you the minute she catches you doing something wrong--for no other reason than to mess with you.
"Ugh, so, my dad told me to introduce myself to everyone here, or something... So, like, my name's Riku Sawamatsu. I'm SHSL Paranormal Investigator. Um... Nice to meet you, I guess? Sorry... I'm not any good at this."
"You mean to tell me you seriously never played with an Ouija board before? Okay, no. That has got to change, like, right now. Come on, we're gonna contact Zozo the demon!"
"M... Murder...... Hey, uh, dad? I think they're being serious. I, um... I don't like this..."
Chet is basically like the mixture of a stereotypical gay guy and a stereotypical stoner. Truly, he doesn't act like your average celebrity. Over all, he loves to make new friends and is very social.
"Oh, you're the teacher guy, right? 'Sup, dude! Name's Chet! Chet Vance, I'm the SHSL Guitarist. So, you're not one of those teachers that'll get onto me for talking a bunch, are you? 'Cause, man, I talk a lot. Like... a LOT. Anyway, I'm hungry. You make food, right? So you have snacks? Hell yeah."
"Dude... like, if you think about it... there are more nipples in the world than there are people..."
"Ehhh.... Killing someone would take too much effort, you know? Way too much work...... Okay, that didn't sound as fucked up in my head 'til I said it out loud. Damn. I mean, I wouldn't kill anyone no matter what, 'cause that's pretty fucked up. Did you know it's scientifically proven that nine out of ten deaths are caused by dying?"
Miki is an easily excitable girl, and it isn't hard to capture her interest. She'll most likely believe just about anything you have to say. Unless, of course, you say monsters aren't real or something, then prepare for complete stubbornness. Over all, though, she is very friendly!
"Ah, hello! My name is Miki Kashiwagi, and I study cryptids. A cryptozoologist, I believe they call it...? Of course, you might argue that cryptids aren't real--but believe me, sir, I know they are. I mean, they've gotta be! And I'll prove that they are on my show Cryptid Hunters. I mean, we're going on season thirty, and we still haven't found anything in a single episode yet, but... by golly! I'm determined!"
"...If a huge, water-dwelling monster was going to successfully hide out somewhere, Loch Ness is an ideal location as heavy deposits of peat make it difficult for instruments to penetrate the cloudy water. The sheer size of the loch make it a great home for Nessie, too-- ...Am I rambling again?"
"Um... But, I... I can't kill anyone! And I can't stay trapped here! Are you kidding? That'll mess with my show's schedule! How am I supposed to search for cryptids in a school?"
Needless to say, Cam doesn't really belong in 2017, does he? He's no internet bootlegger, he's a real deal pirate from the high seas! Despite this, and his impressive height of 6'11", Cam has a heart of gold. He's a gentle giant.
"Ye want my name, right? 'Tis a pleasure t' meet ye, certainly! Ye may call me Camilo Alford, though many 'ave simply taken t' callin' me Cam. I be a... wha' do ye scamps call it? A pirate? Aye, aye, that. SHSL Pirate!"
"Hmm... I'm afraid I ne'er... really learned how t' read, sir. Embarrassin', I know--Err... In fact, I haven't learned many thin's. I may not be o' much help."
"I realize a pirate's life be a dangerous one--but I 'ave mighty strong morals, believe it or not. T' trap us here 'n force us t' murder each other? Are ye mad...?"
Hiromi's a very convincing liar nine times out of ten. So convincing, in fact, that she managed to get Hope's Peak to believe she's a psychic when she really isn't. Most of the things that comes out of her mouth are lies.
"Huh...? Oh... My name, yes? I'm... Hiromi Shima. I'm.. a psychic medium... It isn't anything so special...... at least, compared to.. everyone else around here... All I do is.. simply predict the future... Heehee!"
"...I predict.. that you... should shut the hell up."
"You... must be lying... right? About.. having to kill everyone, I mean... Um... I predict.. that's... not going to happen?? Shit, I don't fucking know."
Flynn seems like such a bad boy, with the cool leather jacket, and his love for motorcycles. That isn't the case, however, as he's actually a huge stickler for rules and the law, surprisingly. Has a bit of a stick up his ass, actually.
"So, we're introducing ourselves or whatever, right? Shit. Fuck. Uh, Flynn Wilkerson. I like motorcycles...?"
"H- Hey! You can't just roam the school without a pass! Isn't that common fucking sense? The school has rules, y' know! Damn!"
"Murder?! What the fuck--uh, no, no, nope, not happening. That is... against the law. I'm not doing that, not a chance in hell, fucker!"
Xaiduo is... an oddball, for sure. She tries to be a terrifying villain, but just isn't very good at it. What's her talent, anyway? She refuses to say, so it's a mystery.
"You dare approach the one and only Xaiduo?! Are you foolish? Don't you know that I am pure evil?! I- I am, I mean it! H- Hey, why are you laughing? I'm not funny! I'm hecking terrifying...! Please don't give me detention. I'm sorry, sir."
"AH-HAH!!! That ought to teach you, and warn you just how evil I truly am!! For you see, when you were not looking, I took a sip of that can of soda of yours. Despicable, yes?! Now, you are infected with my germs, and you have slightly less soda than you did before! So, on a scale of 1-10, how evil would you say that is, exactly?"
"M.. M- Mu- Mur... Wh... U- Um!!! I am pure evil, yes, we all know this, but I... Not even I, Xaiduo, would dare do such a thing! To commit mur- murder, I... Um, I think I-- I think I'm going to be sick. I might faint."
Koetsu is a gremlin, standing at 4'6". All this boy really cares about is bats and girls. If you're a girl, expect him to endlessly flirt with you. He's also a crybaby.
"Okay, look, I can explain, I swear--I know we're not supposed to have pets on school grounds, but--...Oh. My name. You want my name. Right! Hahah, I knew that! Koetsu Oichi, at your service! I study bats and shit. I dunno, they're just neat."
"Say, pretty lady, ever been with a guy who's an entire foot shorter than you? Ever wanted to? Well, I'm right here, heheheh~!"
"Yeah, excuse me, I think I should be exempt from the whole kill-y thing? 'Cause I have a bat to look out for, and if I die, I can't feed her and stuff. So, can I go? ...No? Shit."
Ginko, despite being 4'8" and very cutesy in both her happy demeanor and style, is terrifying. When she makes threats, she means them. As long as you don't get on her bad side, though, she can generally be a pretty nice gal, but it's clear she's hiding some secrets.
"Oh, oh, oh?? My name? You want my name? Oh my gosh! I'm so happy! Hahahah! I could just burst from happiness!! I'm Ginko Hashimoto! I'm SHSL Sukeban! ...Huh? Why do you look so surprised?"
"Wow, I think this bitch is really testing me! Kyahahahah~! You know, I'm so tempted to just bash your goddamn head in against the wall, if you don't shut your whore mouth for one second, teehee~!"
"Well, that shouldn't be too hard! Most of these people are such pussies, anyway, hahah!"
Tohaku looks like he's your stereotypical straight dude. Doesn't really have the personality of one, though, it seems. He's shy and quiet, and gets nervous (well, more nervous than usual) around pretty girls.
"Huh...? Oh...... Uh...... I'm Tohaku Kataoka... I'm good at hacking things, apparently... 'S not really that interesting, really......"
"...Um...... I... Well, um...... shit how do I talk to girls, I- I MEAN, UH, WHAT?? Oh, no...... I'm making a complete fool of myself, aren't I...?"
"I... I don't think people'll actually do that... Right...? Um...... I.. I don't really.. like violence, at all..."
Yuko is a pretty average girl, all in all. She's a little abrasive and has trouble admitting her feelings most of the time, and isn't afraid to call people out on their bullshit.
"Really? You want me to... to introduce myself? Aw, man, I'm really not that interesting, dude... Well, uh, Yuko Izanami. That's me. I'm SHSL Waitress, if you couldn't tell by the uniform. Yes, I know, it's ugly as shit. You don't have to tell me. I know."
"W- Well, it's... it's not like I actually care or anything! I- Idiot! Jeez!!"
"You're... You're joking, right? You gotta be. R- Right? I mean, it's not like many of us here are actually capable of murder, anyway, so..."
Tenshi tries his best to be polite, but doesn't do very well at it. He's got a very quick temper. He's also a germophobe, and is frighteningly pale--it's obvious that this rich boy hasn't gone outside very much in his lifetime, and barely understands how human interaction works.
"Why, I think introducing ourselves to everyone is simply a wonderful idea! I am Tenshi Akimari. I'm a horror poet. But, please, don't allow my interest in rather... dark subjects delude you. I promise you I am a nice person through and through! Well, at least I like to think so. It is quite a pleasure to meet you!"
"Are you dense? No, really! Are you just fucking dense?! I realize you may have been raised in a goddamn trashcan your whole miserable life, but do not touch me! Do you understand?! Lord, who knows where those hands of yours have been! I can only imagine."
"Oh, my! Oh, goodness. Well, we can't have that, now can we? I'd much rather live in peace and harmony, not violence and hatred. I'm sorry if murder was what you wanted, but we are going to have to decline..."
Eliza, clearly, doesn't come from very much wealth. In fact, she comes from the streets. She's extremely paranoid at all times and panics over the tiniest things.
"Y- You really wa- wanna know about m.. me?! Me? Um-- I... I don't know if I... I- If I can handle this kinda pressure! Oh, man... I'm... I'm Eliza Morrin! SHSL Good Luck! Um--How was that...? W- Was that good?"
"Well, I- I didn't really have a home 'til now, so... H- Hey, this isn't so bad...? I m- mean, it still sucks!! I'm sorry! Sorry! I- I just, I mean-- Ugh... Sorry... I'll leave."
"G- Guys, this has got to be a pr- prank, y' know? I mean, it's- it's gotta be. Obviously there's no w- way we're gonna be forced t- to kill each other..."
Jaime, selectively mute, is just a grump. They rarely ever talk, and the most sound they make are grunts and sighs. They hate people.
"...Ugh... My name.. is... Jaime...... Graffiti Artist..."
"......Stop."
"......No."
Gemmei's surprisingly nice for a gunsmith. They're often the Mom Friend, or the one getting the others out of trouble, keeping the others from doing stupid shit. All in all, though, they are a very respectful person!
"I'm Gemmei Omori! I'm the SHSL Gunsmith! I know it's an.. interesting talent, but really, other than that, I'm a pretty painfully average person. Not a whole lot to know 'bout me!"
"Ugh. I like to think I'm usually a nice person, you know? I'm full of love, I really am, but... My patience is... being tested."
"I'm... I'm not exactly planning on killing anyone anytime soon, so, no...? A- And, nobody expect me to just give you weapons, either!!"
Henry is a Southern gentleman through and through. He's also got a nerdy side to him, hence his talent, and is very book-smart, but not so much life-smart. He also loves girls a whole lot for some reason. A useless heterosexual.
"Aw, you wanna know 'bout me, outta' all the people here? Well, golly gee! I'm mighty touched, sir, I truly am! I'm Henry Dennis, but lotsa' folks just call me Hen. Heheh! I'm the SHSL Larper!"
"Excuse me, Miss!! Do ya need help with those? Here, lemme help ya carry those. Really, I don't mind! It's my pleasure, heheh!"
"Hahah, I get it! This is like one of them LARPs, clearly! Now, don't ya worry, y' guys, this ain't serious. ...It ain't, right?"
Yuna is timid and hostile all in one. She is not afraid of speaking her mind and hurling insults at people if they ever dare speak to her, or even breathe the same air as her. She has no shame.
"If... If I give you m- my name, wi- will you go away, and never talk to me again?! Well, f- fine! It's... Y- Yuna Kamioka... I- I'm SHSL Apothecary, an- and, that's... about all you n- need to know about me. Now please leave me a- alone."
"Oh my goodness, ju- just shut up already! I'm so ti- tired of hav- having to hear y- your voice...!!"
"That... Th- That shouldn't be really hard. For th- the others, I mean! I would nev- never kill anyone, clearly. I- I, um, don't trust anyone here, though."
