Since I haven't read it, I can't say for sure. But it could feature Naruto as a main character, as he is often central in many 'Naruto' fanfics. He might be the one guiding or inspiring the character who is rising from the darkness. Or it could be an original character created specifically for this fanfic who is on their own journey of self - discovery and redemption.
Well, in addition to the obvious Naruto, it could also have characters like Sakura. Sakura has grown a great deal in the original series and could be a source of support or a contrast to the character rising from darkness. Another possibility is Gaara. Gaara had his own dark past and managed to rise above it. He could be a mentor - like figure in the fanfic, showing the main character how it's possible to come out of the darkness. And of course, there could be entirely new characters created for this fanfic who are the central focus of this 'rise from the darkness' story.
I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read this particular 'Naruto' fanfic. But generally, it might be about a character rising from a difficult or dark situation in the 'Naruto' universe. It could involve a character overcoming their inner demons, or emerging from a tragic past to become stronger, perhaps like Naruto himself rising above the loneliness and discrimination he faced as a child.
It might introduce an original character created by the fanfic author. This character could be someone who has always lived in the shadows, perhaps a civilian with a hidden talent for ninjutsu. The story could then revolve around this character's journey to rise from obscurity, while also interacting with the well - known Naruto characters like Kakashi or Sakura.
It depends on the writer's vision. Maybe it focuses on the children of the original characters. They could be the ones facing the 'rise of darkness'. For example, if Harry has a son or daughter, they might be the main characters. Or it could also be a side character from the original series, like Neville Longbottom, who has now become a key figure in combating this new wave of darkness in the fan - made story.
It might focus on Naruto and an antagonist who is deeply entrenched in the darkness. This antagonist could be a new character or an existing one from the Naruto series who has turned to the dark side. Other main characters could be the members of Naruto's team, who support him in his journey to understand and combat the darkness. They could provide different perspectives on how to deal with the dark elements in the story.
Well, Naruto is obviously one of the main characters. Since it's a Naruto - centered fanfiction, he would be the focus. There might also be Sasuke. Given their complex relationship in the original series, in a 'from darkness' fanfiction, Sasuke could play an important role in Naruto's journey, either as an ally, a rival, or even a source of temptation towards the darker side.
Most likely Naruto and Sasuke would be main characters as they are central in the original Naruto series and their stories can be easily explored in terms of having a 'dark side'.
Darwin would be the central character, of course. There might also be other scientists or colleagues who either supported or opposed his ideas, family members who influenced his life and work, and perhaps some characters representing the public who were affected by his discoveries.
The main character is surely Naruko Uzumaki. However, depending on the plot, characters like Hinata could also be important. Hinata has always had a special connection to Naruto in the original story. In this fanfiction, she might be heartbroken to see Naruko turning to darkness and try her best to stop it. Then there could be new characters created specifically for this fanfiction. These new characters could be dark entities that encourage Naruko to embrace the darkness. They could offer her power, knowledge, or a sense of belonging that she doesn't feel in the light, thus making them key players in her rise to darkness.
A young, inexperienced mage could be a main character. They might be just starting to learn about their powers when the rise of darkness begins. Their naivete could be both a strength and a weakness as they navigate this new, dangerous world. Another could be an old, grizzled warrior who has seen many battles but is now facing an enemy like never before in the form of the rising darkness.
It's difficult to say without reading the 'a taste of darkness fanfic'. However, it's common for fanfics to either focus on the original protagonists and give them new challenges related to the darkness theme, or introduce new characters that are embodiments of the darkness. For instance, if it's a fanfic based on a superhero story, the main characters could be the superhero facing a new, more menacing villain who represents pure darkness, or it could be about the superhero's sidekick who gets lured into the dark side and becomes a central character in this darker narrative.
