One common trope is the survival aspect. Just like in the original 'Highschool of the Dead', in fanfics, the gamer characters often have to use their gaming skills to survive in a zombie - infested world. For example, they might use their knowledge of strategic games to plan escapes or fortify their hiding places.
They often use game - like interfaces. For instance, a character might see a virtual HUD (Heads - Up Display) that shows their health, ammo, or the number of zombies nearby. This gives a very gamer - centric feel to the story.
One common theme is survival. Just like in the original 'Highschool of the Dead', in gamer fanfiction, characters often have to use their wits and skills to survive the zombie apocalypse. Another theme could be character growth. For example, a shy gamer character might become more confident and brave as they face the challenges. Also, friendship and teamwork are often explored. Characters team up, combining their different gaming skills to overcome difficulties.
One of the popular original characters is often the gamer protagonist. This character usually has in - depth knowledge of various games which they use to their advantage. Another could be the tech - savvy sidekick. They are great at hacking or using technology to help the group. There's also the tough - as - nails female gamer who is not only good at gaming but can also hold her own in a fight against zombies.
Rias is also a common and popular choice. Her beauty and leadership among the devils can be explored in relation to the gamer aspect. For example, she might be involved in a strategy game within the fanfic where her leadership skills are put to the test, or she could be a love interest for the gamer protagonist.
One great Takashi x Rei fanfic could be 'A New Beginning'. It shows how Takashi and Rei's relationship evolves in the post - apocalyptic world. They face many challenges together and their bond strengthens through shared experiences.
One interesting plot could be the main character using their gaming skills to outwit the devils and angels in the Highschool DxD universe. For example, they might use strategic thinking from games to solve the complex power struggles and political intrigues in the story.
A unique and well - developed OC. If the original character has an interesting backstory, personality, and goals within the world of Highschool DxD, it can make the fanfic engaging. For example, if the Gamer OC has a special power or ability that is different from the existing characters in the series.
It could be an envious student who also discovers the 'gamer' aspect but uses it for evil. He might try to undermine the protagonist at every turn, seeing him as a threat to his own power - hungry goals.
Well, first of all, the writers often take the unique elements from each universe. From Naruto, it's the ninjutsu, kekkei genkai, and the concept of the ninja villages. From Highschool of the Dead, it's the zombie apocalypse and the school environment. They then find ways to make these elements work together. Maybe a character with a Sharingan from Naruto can use its powers to detect zombies from afar. Also, they might use the character relationships. A Naruto character could form a team with some Highschool of the Dead survivors to face the challenges together. And they might also play with the different values of the two universes. For example, the loyalty in Naruto and the survival instinct in Highschool of the Dead.
