Depending on what sort of student you are; You learn. You nap. You doodle. You do whatever it takes to weather through your morning classes. Even those who would normally skip class are in, but somehow today still seems like just a day.
That is, until you prepare for lunch and instead of scarfing down your homemade bento, you find yourself inhaling a thick gas that sends your vision swimming.
The last thing you recall before blacking out is the sound of heavy foot falls and the strangled coughs of your fellow classmates...
When you regain consciousness, it is unclear how much time has passed. One of the first things you notice is that a sleek, black collar now adorns your neck. It has a red light that flashes periodically, and there is no clear mechanism for its removal. You also find that you are no longer in your homeroom, but instead in a dilapidated classroom. Heavily armed guards, who offer you no explanation, line the doorways and shattered windows of the room. A television in front of the blackboard flips on and a chipper, female voice cuts through the confusion...

The Lottery is a panfandom thriller AU game heavily inspired by the Battle Royale franchise. This game takes place in an alternate history of the world where countries have been forced to start anew in order to cultivate a stable global atmosphere. You will be playing a student at Shiroiwa Academy in this context.
In your application, you will write your character as an eighteen-year-old high school Senior. From there you may build CR and create your own story for your unfortunate student.
The Lottery employs a time loop mechanic which will allow for multiple rounds of The Attribution Study to be played. Each round will have a maximum of one winner. After someone wins, they will be escorted off the island...
Only to black out and wake up in their bed on the morning of March 14, 20XX. The winner will retain all memories from the previous round; though when they get to school they will discover that their classmates have no recollection of what happened.
And at 12:21pm, The Attribution Study will repeat once more.
Each round's winner will be chosen via random generation. Additionally, for each IC day (one week in real time), at least three characters may be randomly selected to die.
It is up to you to control your character, no matter what fate they meet. How do they cope with being assigned to kill their fellow classmates? How do their relationships change? Does nostalgia influence their actions? What is the story that surrounds each student? This is all for you to decide.
So good luck out there, and don't forget to smile!

It is an exceedingly normal day at school.
You arrive.
