Killua is likely to be completely devastated. He might go into a state of shock at first, not believing that Gon is really gone. Then he could become very angry, either at himself for not being able to protect Gon or at the situation that led to Gon's death.
Gon in fanfiction can be very single - minded in his pursuit of goals, just like in the original. He might be a bit more naive at times, which can lead to interesting plot twists. Killua is often portrayed as having a complex emotional side. He struggles with his past as an assassin and his loyalty to Gon. His cool exterior may crack in some fanfictions, showing his true feelings.
Toge Inumaki is important too. His special cursed speech ability makes him stand out. Also, the principal of the school, Masamichi Yaga, is likely to be important as he is in a position of authority and has an influence on Gojo and the other students. There could be other characters like the members of different clans that also play roles in the complex web of the story.
