A while back, I read the concept of "DANGAN RONPA". English translated as Bullet Rebuttal, the basic concept is that high schoolers with super-level talents (SUPER HIGH-SCHOOL LEVEL _) are brought to the school called Hope's Peak; however, they are brought to a sealed environment and, while they are given the necessities to live normally, they cannot contact the outside world at all. If they want to leave, they must 'graduate' - kill another member of the school and not get caught. In addition, the mascot (Monobear) will constantly try and give the kids motives to kill each other and escape. If someone is not found guilty when they are, everyone but that person is killed.
The idea I had was a sort of edited version because the original is incredibly specialized to the medium.
I was thinking panfandom, but unless I wanted others to be silly, I should chuck panfandom out the window - "Super High-School Level _" designed/tweaked characters would probably be better. I'll probably allow in AUs, too, of fandom characters. Possiblyprobably.
It'd probably be a few-times-a-year 'motive', plus a day of investigation after the murder (lengthened to about a week's time), and then the trial (another week.) The other two weeks would be for slice of life/trying to settle in stuff. The killer would basically be "put character in the ballot" and draw to see who goes axe-crazy.
Punishment (killing of the killer) could be foregone for an ironic near-death assault on them in some fashion, and then throwing them in jail for a month before letting them in - however, I'd also say that you could opt to be killed, and that'd be the law.
Instant re-apping is a thing I'd be cool with - in the wake of a death, applications open. While I don't want the same character (because then there's a sense of impermanency), I'd be fine with an app for a different character.
However, if someone 'escapes' (aka isn't caught), everyone gets a punishment that isn't murder - pretty much a gamewide torture event or something similar.
So wait, let me say again. OC game where one person is killed per event. The killer can either be caught and killed, or escape and hurt everyone else. Permadeath (because nonperma lightens the effects of death), a trial-esque scenario where everyone is sort of stream-of-consciousness talking and trying to find lies in others' testimonies/correct other people.
If anyone has comments/suggestions for how to do panfandom, let me know. I think I'll go OC, otherwise.
