"The only animal capable of giving man a fair fight is man. Actually, among ourselves, we fight unfairest of all, and the more we practice, the nastier we get."
– Robert Buettner

The Battle Royale Act, originally in Japan, was a heavily vilified and controversial act. It required schoolchildren to murder each other on national TV. However, it proved a good way to subjugate a populace and control a population. The school attendance rates rose, crime dropped, and the economy showed a steady growth.

10 years ago, following a worldwide depression in Developed Nations and a small war between the US and China that ended in a US-occupied Hong Kong and a destroyed Shanghai, several surrounding countries faced a refugee crisis. This period is known as Exodus.

The largest Exodus occurred to Taiwan as people fled the Hong Kong-Shenzhen front. In order to combat the crisis, the Taiwanese government declared Martial Law. However, this did nothing, and chaos and panic grew. In order to maintain order, the Taiwanese Ministry of the Interior, in cooperation with the Ministry of Defense, wrote up a new Battle Royale act. This was also called by the name "儿童的战争" or "Children's War"

It proved unpopular, but people were forced to concede. Similar to the Battle Royale of Japan, it was to be broadcast on TV, the radio, and internet streaming across the country. The winner would be given money, fame, and a full ride to their choice college regardless of Exam scores. The losers would have their bodies cleaned up by soldiers. This was a form of riot control, and the game was a form of population control.

Now, the 7th Annual Battle Royale has come, and your class, the Third Years at Saint John Bosco Academy, have been chosen. Good Luck.

Saint John Bosco Academy

"Ab Uno Disce Omnes"

A Catholic School in Taipei, Saint John Bosco caters to the children of Taipei upper class as well as the children of foreign dignitaries. Despite its Christian base, you do not have to be Christian to go there, and the only classes to get into religion are in the Seminary track.

Spoiler: Uniforms

The uniforms are in the school colors. The school's coat of arms is on the uniform. The blazers are a breathable fabric that is light, but prone to tearing. The shoes are standard dress shoes. Females wear skirts all year round, whereas males must change into shorts during the spring.

The school itself follows normal paths that the average Taiwanese High School follows to prepare for college. There are 4 groups one can be in compared to the normal 3:
Group I: The Liberal Arts
Group II: The Sciences
Group III: The Sciences + Biology
Group IV: Seminary and Religious education

Field trips are frequently taken by individual groups, however, there is usually a yearly trip for the entire school.

Name: Kaspar von Grimmelshausen

Age: 17

Height: 5’11”

Weight: 157 lbs

Psychological Profile: He is taciturn and considerably antisocial, exhibiting signs of nervousness and anxiety during times of stress or social situations. Despite never being diagnosed it’s evident that he has Paranoid Personality Disorder. Though he keeps to himself he is quite caring and will sometimes venture from his comfort zone to assist those in need. He’s also rather intelligent, a fact that goes unnoticed all too often due to his introversion.

Familial Background: Born to German scientist Dr. Clemens von Grimmelshausen and Taiwanese student Xuan Mei, Kaspar was born and raised in Ulm, Germany. Because his father was considerably wealthy he held custody of the child while Mei returned to her studies. However, the circumstances in which his parents had met were... scandalous, creating a rift between Clemens and his son Kaspar, whose very conception had damaged the doctor’s reputation due to the fact that Mei had been a student of his at the time studying abroad. It was because of this rift that Kaspar was subjected to frequent abuse both verbal and physical as well as constant pressure to achieve as if it would mend his broken relationship with his father. Shortly after he turned 17 his father got into an accident with him riding in the passenger seat. Clemens had died, but Kaspar survived and went to live with his mother in her native land of Taiwan.

Name: Chen Shu-ling

Age: 19

Height: 5’2”

Weight: 115

Psychological Profile: Shu-ling has a quiet personality, one that does not like to draw attention to herself in a crowd unknown. However, being with her class for the last 3 years, they have gotten to know her witty and slightly, but surprisingly rebellious side, when she chooses to be. She is sweet natured and always willing to give to whoever is in need. She is very single tasked oriented, and focuses on that task until it is complete. Perfectionism is not an issue, but she will be thorough. She hates spiders, loves warm weather, and though she loves her friends and has deep meaningful connections with those she cares about, she in no way has ever been or cared for the romantic side of life. Thinks entirely with her brain, reacts very little on feeling.

Familial Background: Shu-ling’s family consist of her mother and father, as well as her Mother’s mom and her father’s grandparents. She was raised by her grandparents more so because both of her parents work. She also has a little brother that is 2 and a half years younger that she is. Her family makes and sells food in town to those on the go, and has the reputation of having some of the best food in the city. Her father is very proud of the business and the reputation that he has to his name. They are a very generous family, which contributes to Shu-ling’s sweet temperament. The family had been Buddhist for generations, but had recently been vigorously studying Christianity for the past 10 years. Because of this, Shu-ling’s father had decided that she would attend this school. She is in group IV because of her family’s education in religion and because of her father’s wishes, however, she best relates with those in group III. She has an unusual love for botany.
