Danganronpa OC Reviews (CLOSED)

HotCat37 : Disco Fujimoto

Once again, this character has spoilers for HotCat37's story, so if you want to read it don't look at this review!

Name: Disco Fujimoto
I like the name, it's interesting.  Why was he given the name, though?

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Sexuality: Straight

Ultimate/SHSL: Gardener

Appearance: He has dark blue hair, similar to Nagito Komaeda's.  He has bright grey eyes and wears a grey hoodie with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows.  He wears dark grey pants and thick dark grey shoes.  He also wears light grey gardening gloves.
While I like the description of his hair, the rest of his character design is a little bit bland. Maybe add some colours like greens, blues etc so his talent is more prominent? It would be good to have his character design reflect who he is, since DR is a visual media you want to know who a character is by just looking at their design. Take, for instance, Kazuichi Soda. His uniform shows us his talent; Ultimate Mechanic, by being a mechanic's uniform. The colours on his uniform and in his character design show his personality; the bright colours symbolising how quirky he is compared to the others. Having eyes with small pupils and sharp teeth would usually symbolise being a scary character, but DR used it in the opposite way, making him look tough but act terrified, which is a fun use of contradiction in his design.

Personality: He's social when it comes to meeting new people, and pretty well-mannered.  He's a bit of a pushover sometimes, though.
Nice personality. I would like to know where his pushoverness came from. Is he a bit naive? I would love to see his personality a bit more fleshed out haha, talk about how he reacts to things/people, if he has a sense of humour or no, if he has a serious side, how serious that side is etc, etc. Either way, his personality is good so far!

Nationality: Japanese

Backstory:  Disco had two parents and two younger siblings.  Disco's parents worked overseas a lot so he would mostly take care of his siblings on his own.  Due to his parents being away most of the time, their backyard wasn't taken care of properly.  Disco tried to refresh the garden once by starting to pull the weeds and he was surprisingly good at it.  His younger brother once took a picture of him pulling out a large weed and sent it to Trust's Peak.  The headmaster of Trust's Peak recognised his talent and invited him to enrol in Trust's Peak later. 
While this backstory is good, it makes him sound more like the ultimate weed puller instead haha.  Maybe have him, through hard work and over a long time, transform his garden from a messy place to an amazing garden full of flourishing plants.  Maybe have him growing seasonal plants in the wrong season and having it still work out.  Rumours that he has never had a dead plant.  Etc etc, just pulling weeds wouldn't be enough, I think, to get him noticed as a gardener. I do like the idea of his brother sending the photo in to Hope's Peak though!

Reaction to seeing death: He would be frozen at first but when he snaps out of it, he'd run away to get the others.  If he's with other people, he would stay around the crime scene to help out the protagonist if he's asked to.
I like his reaction, it fits his personality well. Would he help out willingly or unwillingly?

How would they kill: He would probably use something plain, like a knife.  At first he would think about killing them with gardening tools, but then he would realised it would be too obvious.
Cool!

Extra information: He's a messy eater.  Mao loves hanging around him to the point where it seems kinda creepy.
I wonder why?

Overall, I like Disco's character. Especially the name Disco, it's very original!

Personality: 5.5/10
Character Design: 5.5/10
Originality: 8/10
Backstory: 7.5/10
Overall: 6.5/10

Like I said with Mao, a little bit more work on him would make him an awesome character!  I'd love to see where he goes from here!

Thanks for sending in your OC!
