Perhaps the main character is a former victim of the Danganronpa killing game who somehow survived. They are now back with a vengeance and a new - found sense of purpose. They want to make sure no one else has to go through what they did and become the symbol of a new hope for the remaining students. They use their knowledge of the game's mechanics and the dark side of the academy to fight against the forces that keep the killing game alive.
It could be a transfer student from another school who has heard about the dark secrets of Hope's Peak Academy. This student is determined to change things for the better. They might be the 'Ultimate Hope - Bringer' or something similar, and they use their unique perspective and skills to try to break the cycle of the killing games and give everyone a new hope.
It could be about a new student arriving at Hope's Peak Academy with a mysterious past. This student might have a special talent that no one has seen before. They then get involved in the strange and deadly life - or - death games that Danganronpa is known for, while also trying to bring a new sense of hope to the despair - filled environment.
A great 'A New Hope' Danganronpa fanfic often has unique plot twists and deep character development. It keeps the essence of the original while adding fresh elements.
In some cases, characters that were minor in the original 'A New Hope' could be promoted to main characters in the fanfic. This gives the writer a chance to explore their potential more fully, such as Wedge Antilles getting a more prominent role in the story.
Luke Skywalker could be one of the main characters. He might encounter an Alien for the first time and have to use his newfound Jedi skills to fight it off, or he could team up with a Predator who senses his potential in the Force.
A Ditto could be the main character. Since it can transform into other Pokemon, it could have a unique perspective on different Pokemon species and their lives.
The main character could also be a new character introduced into the fanfic's universe. For instance, in a Lord of the Rings - style fanfic, a young elf who has grown up in a secluded part of the forest. One day, they decide to leave their home and start a new path, which leads them to get involved in the larger events of the war against Sauron, perhaps by forming an alliance with humans and dwarves.
Sasuke could be the main character in a 'naruto new eyes fanfic'. Imagine Sasuke discovers a new evolution of his Sharingan that gives him additional powers. This could add a new layer to his character arc, as he struggles to come to terms with this new power and how it affects his relationships with Naruto and the rest of the ninja world.
It could be Ryo. Since he is often seen as a leader among the Ronin Warriors, he might be the main focus when facing this new terror.
It might be a new transfer student from a far - off magical school. This student brings with them the knowledge or potential to be the new Merlin figure. They could have a different approach to magic compared to what's taught at Hogwarts, which makes them stand out as a possible Merlin - like character.
A character with the power to control time could be interesting. This new character could either be an ally or an enemy. As an ally, they could help the Incredibles by rewinding time during a difficult battle to give them a second chance. As an enemy, they could freeze time and set up traps for the family.
