Welcome to the world of Duellists! You suddenly woke up at the prestigious Ohtori Academy without knowing how you arrived there on the first place. You have been de-aged / aged up to high school age and been given a vaguely militaristic uniform that consists of form-fitting white jacket with coloured trimming and weighted cord as well as trousers of the same colour. Around your finger there's a silver ring with lacquered bass-relief rose engraving. Nearly is laying a weapon of your choice (sword, daggers, bow etc). Now it is time to figure out your way into this new world.
First, meet the all powerful Student Council members. The student council makes up the elites of Ohtori Academy; All of the members of the student council are duelists who must compete for the rose bride. The council consists of Touga Kiryuu the president, Kyouichi Saionji the vice-president, Miki Kaoru, Juri Arisugawa, Nanami Kiryuu, and Ruka Tsuchiya. Your uniform and signet ring has marked you as a Duellist just like them, set apart from the rest of the students and it also means you are expected to fight for the right to be the fiancee of the Rose Bride and one day when the inverted floating castle in the forest finally descended you would gain 'Power To Revolutionize The World'.
What you could do:
1. Staying away from the Arena (place for duelling, a floating stage with twisting winding pathway as the only way to reach it). Good luck with that, for generations all those who has been marked as Duellist sooner or later would be drawn there. Resistance is futile but you surely could try.
2. Maybe you suddenly find yourself inhabiting the body of one of the Student Council members or even the Chairman of the Academy himself. In case of body-swap scenario, have fun trying to adjust to the new shell and entirely foreign environment (unless somehow you have intimate knowledge of the Shoujo Kakumei Utena's universe).
3. Maybe you suddenly wake up in your own body but occupying the role of one of the elites of the school. Oh boy, now not only you must be adept at playing the internal politics there (unless you wants to be dethroned in the most humiliating ways possible) but also to figure out how to survive the fate of the Duellist and find your way back to the original universe.
4. Oh look, someone to assist you in this universe. Or, maybe they're fellow lost traveler who had been displaced from their home. Let's get to know them better, shall we? Forge your alliance, fall in love, etc. Beware if they are actually a native of this universe, for you might find yourself not wanting to go back to your own world later. Stay alert even if they're fellow traveller, for they might also wants the power for whatever goal they have in mind and they might decide that not even you are allowed to stand on their way.
5. Oh no! You inhabited the body of the Rose Bride and now become the much sought after prize. This body / role comes with a caveat in form of compulsion to serve the current Champion of the Duel and I meant serve in all possible ways. In a sense you just become an obedient slave of someone else. Pray that your new master is kind because you now are bound to them and must obey them or suffers from [insert magical punishment here].
