Who could be good crossover characters in an 'Alice Madness Returns crossover fanfic'?

First, you need to study both universes thoroughly. Know the characters, their abilities, and the rules of their worlds. For Naruto, understand the chakra system, the different jutsus, and the various clans. For Alice: Madness Returns, be familiar with the nightmarish landscapes, the significance of the different items Alice uses, and her mental state. Then, find a common ground for the crossover, like a shared enemy or a similar theme such as fighting inner demons.

A crossover with a steampunk world would be cool. Picture Alice from 'Alice Madness Returns' arriving in a steampunk city where machinery and magic coexist. She could encounter characters like a steampunk Mad Hatter who is an inventor gone mad. The contrast between the dark, dreamy world of 'Alice Madness Returns' and the mechanical, yet fantastical, steampunk world would create interesting storylines and character interactions.

You can start by looking on fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own. There are often many creative works related to 'Alice Madness Returns' there. Just use the search function and type in 'Alice Madness Returns Carpenter' to narrow down the results.

Another theme is the exploration of the characters' mental states. In both the original works, the characters have their own traumas and challenges. In fanfics, this is often delved into deeper. For instance, how Naruto's experiences with loneliness might compare to Alice's feelings of being lost in her own madness. It's a way to create deeper connections between the characters from different universes.

Character development is key. The fanfic should develop Carpenter's character further, maybe give him a backstory that wasn't fully explored in the game. It could also show his relationship with Alice in a more complex and interesting way. If it can make the readers feel more connected to the character, it's a great fanfic.

Well, 'Alice and Naruto's Adventure' is a fanfic that focuses on a team - up between Alice and Naruto. They embark on a journey to solve the mysteries that connect their two worlds. It has a lot of character development for both of them as they learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Aang could be a great crossover character. Since he is from the previous Avatar cycle, his different approach to bending and his more laid - back personality compared to Korra could create interesting interactions. He could offer her wisdom from his own experiences as an Avatar.

Sanford and Deimos are also great choices. Their friendship and teamwork could be a contrast or complement to the relationships in the other world of the crossover. They could bring in their own unique skills, like Sanford's strength and Deimos' marksmanship.

Superman from the DC universe. Superman stands for truth, justice, and the American way, but his methods are often more lenient compared to Akainu. The two could have a philosophical debate about justice while also having to fight a common enemy.

Well, if we consider other shonen - style series, someone like Naruto from 'Naruto' could be a potential crossover character. His ninja skills and strong will could create some interesting dynamics with the 'world trigger' characters.
