Naruto is a must - have main character. But I think Shikamaru could also be a main character. His laid - back yet intelligent nature could be interesting to explore in this type of fanfiction. Maybe Sakura too, as she has grown from a somewhat naive girl to a strong kunoichi and could have her own take on the 'scared straight' experience. Plus, there could be some new characters introduced specifically for this fanfiction, like a tough instructor in the 'scared straight' program.
For sure Naruto would be front and center. But Boruto, Naruto's son, could also be a main character. He could be the one who is initially a bit too cocky and needs to be 'scared straight'. Hinata, Boruto's mother, might also be involved, as she could be worried about her son and try to help him through this experience. And then there could be some older, retired ninja who are part of the 'scared straight' team, like Iruka sensei who has known Naruto since he was a kid.
One possible plot could be that Naruto and his friends are sent to a 'scared straight' type of program in the Hidden Leaf Village. They are shown the harsh realities of what could happen if they continue on a wrong path, like if they were to give in to the temptations of the dark side of ninja skills. This experience makes them more determined to uphold the values of their village.
Harry Potter himself is often a central focus. Since he is the main character in the original series, fanfiction writers like to put him in new and challenging situations. For example, they might write about him being in a 'Beyond Scared Straight' type of program where he has to face the consequences of his actions in a more extreme way.
Big Dragon Beyond Scared Straight tells a tale of redemption and transformation. It focuses on characters facing their fears and making positive changes in their lives.
Some fanfictions in this category might explore the idea of alternate punishments within the wizarding world. Like instead of Azkaban, there could be a new form of rehabilitation where the wrongdoers are put through a series of magically - enhanced moral challenges. This could be inspired by the 'Beyond Scared Straight' concept of extreme deterrence.
One inspiring story is of a boy who was headed towards a life of burglary. After the program, he saw the inmates' living conditions and the lack of freedom. He was so moved that he started learning skills like carpentry at a local community center. He is now working as an apprentice in a furniture - making workshop. Another great story is about a girl who was into underage drinking and partying all night. The program showed her the real consequences of such behavior. She now promotes healthy lifestyle choices among her peers.
Not sure exactly, but perhaps it involves a character's journey of finding courage and breaking free from being constantly scared. That's just a guess though.
Sure. There are many cases where kids on the verge of getting into serious trouble turned their lives around. For example, one teen was constantly skipping school and getting into minor fights. After going through the Beyond Scared Straight program, he saw the harsh reality of prison life up close. This experience made him realize that he didn't want to end up behind bars. He started attending school regularly and worked on his anger management. Another success story involves a girl who was involved in petty theft. The program showed her the consequences of a life of crime. She was so shocked that she completely stopped stealing and focused on building a positive life for herself.
Another character could be Terry's love interest. She could play a role in the twins' story, perhaps she has a connection to their past or she gets caught in the middle of their conflict with Batman Beyond, making the story more complex and engaging.
It could be an evil ninja from Naruto's world who has somehow also gained access to the powers of the Beyond Two Souls world. This character could use these new powers to try and take over both worlds.
Well, Naruto is the most obvious main character. He would be exploring the boundaries of his powers in this fanfiction world. But it's possible that some mutant - like characters from the Naruto universe, like Gaara with his sand - controlling abilities that could be seen as mutant - like, could also be main characters. Additionally, new characters created specifically for this fanfiction that bridge the gap between Naruto's world and the mutant concept could be main characters as well.
