Premise
In the world of Future Diary, there is a God. His name is Deus Ex Machina. However he is dying. In order to find a successor he hosts the Survival Game. Twelve contestants must participate in a battle royale to see who is the last one standing over the course of 90-days otherwise the world itself will end.
The twelve contestants consist of a vigilante, police chief, mayor, orphanage head, cult leader, terrorist, serial killer, children, and various psychopaths including the iconic yandere Yuno Gasai.
Each of the twelve contestants has a device called a Future Diary that is unique to each individual user. These tell the future in various ways depending on the user. Ex: Yukitero Amano has the Observance Diary, which is written from his point of view and gives a detailed explanation of his surroundings very accurately, whether it be the present or the future.
The Diaries behave in a rock-paper-scissors formula in which there is always a counter to a specific users Diary. Should the Diary ever break, the contestant will suffer an incredibly painful death resulting in the erasement of their existence. They can still be killed using traditional methods as well.
