So in collusion collaboration with @Echo, I have an alternate idea to pitch - we can decide on what we like best later:
@Jokrono is the protagonist who just transferred from Kazamatsuri’s sister school, Rokkenjima Academy. @MagusVerborum is his cousin who tranfered here a few years ago and is the only person he knows in this school of eccentric weirdos.
A heroine, don’t get full of yourself. We could make you the true route’s heroine though 
.
I would make an excellent protagonist. BUT ONLY IF I AM SECRETLY THE DARK LORD SATAN HIMSELF.
ALL WILL BOW BEFORE THE POWER OF THE GREAT HARUTRICE.
We’re currently deciding on who will be the Protagonist of this novel. For now the main suggestion are Jokrono and machelmore. EDIT: and Magus
Does someone want to volunteer or have people to recommend for this role, so we’ll have some candidates to decide from?
EDIT2: Nate, Aspirety and Mitsuna already have their role decided, so they’re not eligible
Not funny.
To bring things back on track, we’ve decided that if we need/want a character to be killed off, I will fill that role myself. If I were to be the protagonist, this would be a good opportunity for a bad end, or alternatively, as Nate suggested:
It could be the Kazamatsuri VN equivalent of the muslce/oppai endings, wherein Indomie Mi Goreng unites the world and brings peace on earth.
Also, to get things moving, I want to start a vote on the protagonist this time tomorrow, so if you want to nominate yourself / someone else for protag, make sure to do it before then. Happy hunting. But remember, if you vote for @Jokrono, it means defaulting to plot idea #2 (unless another one comes along before too much longer), and voting for anyone but Jokrono means discarding plot idea #2 by default.
I’ll just nominate myself for the heck of it.
no one’s gonna vote me anyway 
I would have voted for you and your sexy hands Ganesh, but my heart already belongs to @Jokrono 
You can be his imouto.
Yes, anyone can be the protagonist. We all have different personalities, so we can all bring something new to the table for the role.
The setting can be anywhere, not limited to just the forums.
Of course anyone should feel free to have whatever ideas they want and come up with whatever story they want, but I also think it would be nice to have a single concept put together by all of us as well.
And while this is admittedly just an place for ideas, if anyone/everyone else is willing, I would be so down for us to actually make it.
Sorry if my response seems a little off, but I literally just woke up and was going through the page answering any questions I found.
I volunteer myself for the role of best girl heroine, I will be perfect for the role considering I will happily kick Sunohara’s @MagusVerborum’s ass on a daily basis. But it’s not because I like him or anything!
I’m a bit late to this party but i would love to have a role in this beautiful story
I am very late to this party, so I’ll gladly take the one role I’m sure it’s still free: following the footsteps of Masato I nominate myself as the tree 
I’d like to pitch in a story draft
The setting is the Internet Academy, a boarding school.
When classes end and the students are free to attend clubs or return to their dorms, they put on masks. With their identities concealed, they fight and slander each-other as a pastime. In order to create an oasis in this chaotic world of hatred and violence, @Aspirety and @technololigy have founded Kazamatsuri, a club where students were to come together in a friendly environment and engage in intellectual dialogue as well as friendly sparring matches in order to one day become a big, big family.
Kazamatsuri is a fan club of Key, a multimedia corporation that fills all of its works with messages of love and hope. Those who share these values have come together under Aspirety’s leadership as the club keeps growing. Little by little, the members started opening up to each-other and showing their real selves instead of hiding behind their masks. By opening up, they also make themselves vulnerable, which sometimes leads to conflicts, which they try to solve with the help of the others while abiding by Kaza’s code of conduct. Establishing connections to Key is also one of Kazamatsuri’s goals.
There is no protagonist. The perspective keeps switching from one character to another, mostly in short arcs.
There are no big boss enemies as of yet. Occasionally, some disruptive students classified as “trolls” and “haters” will join Kaza or attack its members to disturb the peace. There’s also spies and schemers who secretly aim to take control of Kaza or to recruit its members for their own clubs.
Superpowers and action battles are a thing. The superpowers hurt, but they rarely cause serious injuries.
Any user can be a character. New ones can join at any time. For a start, let’s go with these:
Aspirety - Charismatic leader of Kazamatsuri. Aims to nurture and expand Kazamatsuri and to spread its ideal of peace and dialogue throughout the school
technololigy - a hobby inventor who turns the Kaza clubroom into a high-tech base and creator of Yumemi
Yumemi - Kaza mascot, a friendly and helpful robot built by technololigy
HeliosAlpha, Pepe, cjlim2007, Bizkitdoh - the official disciplinary commitee of Kaza, hand-picked by Aspi, keeping peace and helping out troubled members
Naoki-Saten - veteran member, nicknamed "self-proclaimed prefect*, a grumpy guy who goes around pushing his ideals of a perfect Kaza member onto others
Kanon - veteran member, a noisy guy who always plays the role of the fool. His true nature is only known to very few
Takafumi - a mysterious veteran member who often joins the big discussions but also disagrees with everyone
Alternatively, the setting could be changed from a school to a city. Kaza would then become a recreation center of sorts.
I like the idea of multiple perspectives
I also volunteer to have some kind of part on this, if you’re okay with me. FUTSUTSUKA MONO DESU GA
So, continuing from Naoki’s idea and from what I just mentioned on Discord:
Rather than exclude people out of a protagonist role because they’re too obvious or have other roles or whatever, why not make it a multiple perspective thing where we follow the stories of anyone who volunteers as a protagonist (either by a day-system or something) and then dedicate those mini arcs to those who don’t?
For example, if Aspi’s the founder of “Kazamatsuri”, then you could have him as a sort of protagonist whose perspective is the behind the scenes, and also put in the more regular Kaza members as protagonists as well and see how joining and interacting on Kaza unfolds from there, considering that this would be close to something like a RP, where everything would be written as a group together anyway.
Only problems to beware of would be cliques from protagonist positions, I guess?
If we wanted to make sure we cover every grounds in terms of perspective we could always release “multiple volumes”. It’d be like Angel Beats except we would actually release them 
The true end of the VN is me getting banned from Kaza because I won’t read Rewrite
I can be the wilting kouhai character who may or may not be related to one of the heroines :'D
I’d just like to ask a favor from everyone here before you start running with these ideas. I believe that Kazamatsuri prides itself as a community built by real people with real ideas. This is kind of the reason we’ve never really encouraged a roleplay topic or something of that sort. As such, I’d like to ask that whatever character assignment you do in this topic will remain only inside this topic.
Outside of the topic, in the rest of the forum, and the discord especially, I would appreciate it if you could continue to refer to them and their real personas, and not, say, calling Mitsuna your imouto or calling Magus the Secret Dark Lord Satan or even calling me a disciplinary committee member. Mitsuna is Mitsuna and Magus is Magus and Pepe is Pepe, and I hope we can all respect that outside this topic
That said, carry on~
If you’d like to make things more accurate to the actual state of things, Helios wouldn’t be part of the disciplinary committee and it would instead be Gnashes, watching from the shadows,
HeliosAlpha would probably be Kazamatsuri’s news reporter who, instead of trying to spread crazy news, kills off any sort of baseless gossip with a large bazooka or something of that sort
(nekotea and BlackHayate02 would also be news reporters )
