Sleepy Hiko for Tempest (i think he'd be the pissy squinty type rather than the cute sleeby)
Soudabuki for Cosmofry
Keebo and Souda for Medi
Korekiyo and Kokichi for .... some guy (I didn't notice the word tender in there sorry)
Yet, another AU idea. This time, it's for the third instalment of the main trilogy of the Dangan Ronpa games: Dangan Ronpa V3: Killing Harmony!
Spoilers ahead!
The premise is the same. They're all in this killing game simulation, except it's not preplanned because that's stupid. The two survivors of the previous game are in the current one as a mastermind and as a student with an unknown talent.
But, instead of Tsumugi and Rantarou being filling those roles, it's Shuichi and Kokichi.
Shuichi would be the amnesiac student and Kokichi is the mastermind. Honestly, it could be any other student, but OumaSai is my favourite ship out of them.
This simple change would steer the course of the game entirely wrong. For example, Shuichi doesn't remember anything - not even his own talent. He would be less trusting and more desperate for the truth. As such, he might not even befriend Kaede. And Kokichi has a different mindset from Tsumugi, and he's insanely smart. It's likely that he would realise that everything he thinks he knows is false. And the way he 'programs' everyone would be somewhat different.
The executions would also be different which would result in a lot of creativity and different scenarios. Maybe even the school would be laid out differently.
You'd probably have the most fun with motives. Trying to get into the heads of these characters (who may or may not differ from canon) and figuring out what would make them snap. Like maybe secrets would be spilt or they have a particular target, and if they killed their target without tipping anyone off, they'd get to leave without a trial.
Think about the emotional value behind this as well. As the protagonist™, Shuichi has the MC privileges of never being able to die until the very end of the series. So, he'd probably be able to figure out that he was in the previous killing game with Kokichi by his side. Which would result in, a) a mental breakdown, b) a very painful flashback (that could be a whole arc!), and c) a confrontation with Kokichi.
By the end of it, I'd like to think that Kokichi remembers everything thanks to Shuichi, he confesses to being the mastermind, and together (with the other survivors - whoever you choose to survive), they shut down the game forever.
The others who died wake up and have a hard time forgiving their killers and Kokichi. Maybe that could be a sequel - working through the trauma and fighting for redemption.
Anyway, tell me what you think, and I may or may not write it!
