One idea could be to have Naruto end up in the world of Alice: Madness Returns. Maybe he's on a mission and gets sucked into a strange portal. He could then meet Alice and they team up to fight the nightmarish creatures in her world. Naruto's combat skills and his positive attitude could help Alice in her struggle against the dark forces.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Joker from the Batman universe could be an interesting crossover character. His chaotic and unpredictable nature would contrast well with Alice's own struggle with madness. He could be the one causing more chaos in Wonderland or wherever the crossover takes place, and Alice would have to find a way to stop him while also dealing with her own mental state.
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.
Well, without the cutscenes, the Injustice 2 story might last you approximately 12 hours, give or take. This assumes you're playing at a decent pace and not getting stuck on difficult sections for too long.
Sure, the Destiny 2 beta allowed for skipping cutscenes in the story. It's a common feature in many games these days to give players more control over their experience. If you're not into the story part and just want to get to the gameplay, it's there for you to use.
