Hey there, if you haven't figured it out yet, this is based off the anime and manga, "Another". So if you have read or watched it, no need to read what's down below, cause it's just a summary. But do not worry, because you don't need to have to watch or read the series, because i have basically summed up everything here. So, anyway, for this roleplay i'm looking for a female character, or a feminine male, your choice. We'll hash out the other details if you're interested, until later!
In 1972, a very popular honor student named Misaki died partway through the school year in Yomiyama North Middle School's class 3-3. The rest of the students, devastated by the unexpected loss, decided to carry on as if their classmate were still alive, going so far as to keep the desk in place and bringing it to the graduation ceremony. Yet no one could explain why their classmate, already dead and buried, was present on the graduation photo.
At the beginning of the school year following Misaki's death, the class found they had an extra student and were one desk short. At first they thought it was just an error and ignored it. Unbeknownst to them, however, the Calamity of class 3-3 had begun; tragically, six students and ten of their family members died during that school year. It wasn't until later that they found that there had been a dead student in the class all along, masquerading as one of the living until the year's end.
In class 3-3 during the year 1972, there was a student named Misaki Yomiyama. He was a charming student, good looking and excelled in both academics and sports. All the teachers and students admired him. Half way through the school year, he died in a house fire that took the lives of his whole family. Unable to accept his death, his classmates decided to continue acting as if he was still alive (talking with his desk, pretending to go home with him, etc). Even at graduation, the principal arranged to have Misaki's seat included in the ceremony.
After graduation they took a picture of the class and found Misaki included, with a pale face but smiling like everyone else. After that incident, the class had grown closer to death itself. Also, the oral folk history of 1972 became garbled, and people forgot whether Misaki was a boy or a girl, and how he died.

The 'Dead One' (also referred to as the "Extra'') is a former student or faculty member who died while being part of class 3-3, but then somehow resurrected as part of the class in a later year. Despite being dead, the Extra looks and acts like a normal, living person. There is no known form of physical examination or line of questioning which can distinguish the Extra from the living. The memories of the extra and all around are changed so none of them remember the extra dying, not even the extra themself.This memory alteration also extends to written records, retroactively erasing all evidence of the Extra's death.
Because of the unnatural presence of this dead person walking amongst the living, at least one student from class 3-3 or one of their family members or the teacher of the class dies each month. At the end of the school year, the Extra simply disappears, and the Calamity's effects on the class' written records and memories are reversed, and survivors forget that the Extra was ever part of the class; the Calamity has run its course, thus marking an end to the deaths, until the next year.
Over the years ways to prevent the calamity have been discovered. The first, most used way is to act as if one student in the classroom doesn't exist, balancing out the number of students in the class. It only has a 50 percent chance of success sadly. The other way, recently discovered, is to kill the extra. But this has proved to be a difficult task, because there are no ways to tell who the extra way, Either way, the future classes are in for one hell of a ride.
