These ideas are used to make a story that takes place after the Final Killing Game (this includes after the moment where
Kyoko is revealed to be alive) but before the epilogue where Hope's Peak reopens with Makoto as the school's new headmaster.

Alter Ego
Antagonists:
Neo Hope's Peak Army
Junko Enoshima (Host body) (SHSL Fashionista (True Talent) , SHSL Analyst (Fake talent given by host spirit), True SHSL Despair (Figurehead)).
Thought to be the Mastermind who kickstarted The Tragedy in the first place. Revived by an unknown source but in time, was eventually revealed that she was revived due to Chaos Izuru inside her with her missing body parts regrown due to Chaos Izuru temporary taking control of her body and putting her in a regeneration tank he created secretly. However, in truth, all her actions are due to being under the influence of a parasite within her.
In reality, Junko Enoshima did grew up in horrid conditions along with her sister. She obtained her true talent due to accepting jobs from perverted model photographers in order to make ends meet. Not only that, her abject lifestyle made her a huge mockery by her elementary schoolmates. This sadness due to living a horrid life ended up making her suffer so much despair. Chaos Izuru Kamukura came upon her when she was about to commit suicide. He saved Junko and told her that he was her guardian angel. Chaos Izuru promised her that he will give her the skills needed so she could live a happy life and finally make some friends in life. Thus, Junko allowed herself to become his host. Chaos Izuru erased Junko's memory of meeting him and started to influence her behavior.
Once fully aware that her taste for despair and actions are only caused by a mere parasite but not herself, she felt ashamed and for the first time ever, truly regretted her actions. Ended up helping Makoto Naegi and his friends after being reminded by him that she was manipulating other people because she was being manipulated herself and everyone including her have the right to have hope. Repented on all wrongdoings and redeemed herself by trying to defeat Chaos Izuru Kamukura but critically wounded by him instead before trying to kill him in a kamikaze suicide attack (Activating the countdown of a few Monokuma bombs that she managed to strap on herself beforehand and then proceed to charge into Chaos Izuru and then drag him through a weakened glass window of a high floor of a building).
Unfortunately, due to possessing SHSL Luck, he managed to survive both the fall and explosion but sadly same cannot be said for Junko. Left a heartfelt apology letter to both her classmates and the 77th class post-mortem.
Soldiers:
D rank: Reserve Commandos (Hope's Peak Reserve Course)
Originally, all of them are the students of the Hope's Peak Reserve Course who were manipulated by Chaos Izuru and caused the Parade. After doing the deed of destroying Hope's Peak High School's new school building and killing off a huge majority of the main course's student body and faculty, they were brainwashed into killing themselves. However, when they were brainwashed, they also had Chaos Izuru's seeds implanted inside them. Thus, all of their bodies were preserved in a secret facility. Once Junko had been resurrected, all of the killed reserve course students are resurrected secretly by Chaos Izuru's machinations as well.
However, unlike the soldiers in the ranks above them, Chaos Izuru only revived their bodies but not their brains. Because of that, they are nothing but mindless zombies that only know how to take orders from soldiers who have higher ranks than them. Due to their nature of having no talents that could benefit the army, they were given weapons of various types. Weakest among the army but they attack in huge swarms.
C rank: Hope's Peak Assault.
After being resurrected, they were told by Junko that due to their nature as reanimated corpses, they can no longer go back to their friends and families and that they now monsters who belong to Junko. Thus, they are forced to serve her albeit carrying hesitation when performing certain given tasks. After being told of the truth about "everything" from Junko's actions and why the Tragedy started in the first place by Chaos Izuru who revealed himself, they turned against Chaos Izuru.
However, they were living on borrowed time. After helping Makoto Naegi and his friends defeat Chaos Izuru the first time, they slowly become weaker and turn back into corpses. But before they finally died, they gave words of motivation and hope to Makoto Naegi and his friends.

Jin Kirigiri (Headmaster of Hope's Peak High School)
After being ressurected, he was told by Junko that due to his nature as a reanimated corpse, that they can no longer go back to hisdaughter and that he now belongs to Junko. Thus, he was forced to serve her albeit carrying hesitation when performing tasks. After the truth about "everything" from Junko's actions and why The tragedy started in the first place by Chaos Izuru who revealed himself, he turned against Chaos Izuru alongside the other Hope's Peak Assault.
However, he, just like the others, were living on borrowed time. After helping Makoto Naegi and his friends defeat Chaos Izuru the first time, he slowly become weaker and turn back into a corpse. But before he finally died, he also gave words of motivation and hope to Makoto Naegi and his friends.

Yasuke Matsuda (SHSL Neurologist)

After being told of the truth about "everything" from Junko's actions and why The Tragedy started in the first place by Chaos Izuru who revealed himself as the mysterious entity and the true founder and leader of SHSL Despair (Actually a cover name, the group's real name is the Neo Hope's Peak Army), he was approached by Chaos Izuru and was foretold of his visions and plans. Also, he was told by him that in return of aiding Chaos Izuru in fulfilling his goal, Yasuke would be rewarded a reasonable position in Chaos Izuru's new world.
However, seeing Junko so horrified and knowing that her despair crazed personality was due to a combination of both her sad and horrid life and her desperation to experience happiness which led to her being manipulated by Chaos Izuru, Yasuke carried some degree of hesitation and reluctantly agreed with helping Chaos Izuru.

Also, he was told by him that in return of aiding Chaos Izuru in fulfilling his goal, Yuto would be rewarded a reasonable position in Chaos Izuru's new world.
He willingly accepted because he thought that by helping Chaos Izuru in making his new world, the new world would also be one where Yuto himself will finally be noticed and get the attention he wanted in his entire life.

Leader: Chaos Izuru Kamukura (SHSL Hope (former), True SHSL Despair) A few years after Hope's Peak High School was first formed, the talents that were analysed and stored to make a being called Izuru Kamukura became self-aware, sentient enitity and started to observe the school. It concluded ,due to observing the corruption of the school's Steering Committee and the bad behaviors of the chosen students with talent that there is no such thing as hope or despair, only talent and power exists in the world. To do this, it split into 2 parts.
One part ,a pile of stored talents which was forecefully injected into Hajime Hinata who participated the Hope Cultivation Project whereas another part, a sentient being that has it's conscience and personality along with a copy of one talent (SHSL Analyst). That other part which has the conscience took the form a bug (A Seed of Despair) which amplifies the negative feelings and has the ability to control anyone. But in order for it to work, the infected person must already have a negative feeling in his or her own heart.
Chaos Izuru Kamukura came upon Junko Enoshima when she was about to commit suicide. He saved Junko and told her she was her guardian angel. Chaos izuru promised her that he will give her the skills needed so she could live a happy life and finally make some friends in life. Thus, Junko allowed herself to become his host. Once he implanted himself into Junko, Chaos izuru then erased
Junko's memory of meeting him and started to influence her behaviour. When the truth is revealed, he ejected himself out of Junko and took on a physical form (The physical form looks like a fusion of both Junko Enoshima and her alter ego when she was under the effects of Yasuke's memory wipe, Ryoko Otonashi).
However, because his talents are already permenantly merged with Hajime Hinata, he cannot fully be restored. Unfortunately, he expected this outcome due to his superhuman analytical skills and implanted a seed of despair into Hajime's body that send copied data of talents into another seed that serves as a backup. Chaos Izuru absorbed the backup and became fully restored.
He was the one who influenced Junko's desire to start The Tragedy due to him masterminding the event for a different purpose. The Tragedy was not meant to exterminate the entire human race but just only cull the world population by half. Due to him learning everything from observing and learning the mass inequality between the talented and the talentless. Also, learning about the corruption of the high school's steering committee. He concluded that the present state of the world had stopped changing for the better because the majority of the world population are those without talent with those having extraordinary talents making up the minority.
Overall goal: Destroy the "old" world and create a "new" one in it's place with himself as the new world's "messiah". The new world will be a utopia for the talented and powerful where they will use their talents to benefit the world which can bring hope to it. However, it will also be a living hell for those without talent as they will be used as servants for the talented and influential and therefore, they will bring despair upon themselves. In other words, the new world formed under his rule will be one where the strong and powerful will always have the authority to rule over the weak and useless. Therefore, hope will always belong to the talented whereas despair will always belong to the talentless.
Has a "The ends justify the means" way of thinking due to doing everything necessary regardless of how cruel and merciless his methods are in order to make his utopia a reality. Also another personal reason he masterminded the Tragedy of Hope's Peak High School and The Killing School Life was because Chaos Izuru knew that the students were the school's pride and joy and by having them kill each other off, he will overthrow Hope's Peak by destroying everything the school had tried to create. This reason was out of vengeance against the Hope's Peak High School's board of trustees due to him feeling that, he was a powerful entity of talent and therefore considered on par of a god. Thus, he had no desire to be a servant of others.
Seeds of Despair: Small, insect-like(size is comparable to that of a common housefly) parasites that were spawned by Chaos Izuru Kamukura. Contains Chaos Izuru's sentience and move according to his will. Have the ability to infect it's target individual by amplifying their despair, therefore, corrupting them to perform evil acts. Junko's classmates and the remnants of despair have a seed of despair inside them. Only performs their control function when host feels any negative emotion inside them and once it detects that emotion, it amplifies them which enables Chaos Izuru to control the host.
Also has the ability to revive a dead person via Frankenstein Theory (The theory states that as long as a corpse remains fresh and it is preserved perfectly with the nervous system and vital organs remain intact or can be repaired , all it needs is a really strong electric current and resurrection of a dead individual can be made possible). The usage of this theory was how Chaos Izuru was able to use his implanted seeds to revive anyone who has died during the run of the entire Hope's Peak High School saga.
Anti-heroes:
Future Foundation Junior Division
Former titles: Warriors of Hope, Students of Hope's Peak Elementary School
A few weeks before their attempted group suicide, Chaos Izuru sent a few seeds of despair to observe Hope's Peak Elementary and noticed the "Trouble makers class" who would eventually form the Warriors of Hope. Their talents intrigued him and the seeds of despair followed them to observe their home life. However, seeing their circumstances and how their "parents" had treated them, Chaos Izuru became disgusted at how they, young individuals who had the skills needed to benefit the world, are being subjected to horrid conditions.
So during the day when the 5 students are about to perform their group suicide, he influenced Junko to come to their aid. He saw no need to implant seeds inside them as Chaos Izuru knew that regardless of their talent, they are still children and therefore just needed the right guidance in order for them to perform various acts. He influenced Junko to motivate them to kill off their parents as justified "punishment" for their actions towards the Warriors of Hope.
After the truth was revealed to them and they were offered a chance to live in sanctuary by Chaos Izuru, they initially joined with him. However, they later were offered a secret mission to kill off Monaca Towa under the cover of a supply run. They expressed hesitation to kill her though because despite everything Monaca had done, they still considered her a former friend. In the end, during the intended supply run, they told Monaca everything and refused to kill her off. Eventually, they refused his offer and chose to side with Komaru and Toko.

He influenced Junko to motivate them to kill off their parents as justified "punishment" for their actions towards the Warriors of Hope.
He told her the entire truth and got recruited along with the other Warriors of Hope. However, Chaos Izuru noticed that even without his guidance and control, Monaca was able to perform inhumane acts due to how she was raised. Thus, Chaos Izuru deemed her a threat due to an individual like her having the potential to harm his new world instead of helping it.
Therefore, he gave the other warriors of hope a secret mission to terminate her under the cover of an assigned supply run. Monaca was eventually told of the secret mission and was genuinely shocked about their sincere hesitation. Unlike the other Warriors of Hope, she did not side with Komaru and Toko. Instead, she eventually left a note to the other warriors saying that she needed some time alone to atone for her sins and think about what she was doing with her life.
