Okay, I'm glad that sounds good.

Like I said, I'd rather not start out with a character based arc. If we're going to move straight into a story arc, I want it to be one where all characters are of equal importance. We can start the character arcs after it.

I'd like to hear Evangel's idea (or anyone else's) before I go off and plan something, though.

If push comes to shove and I get anything good ready I'll say move into a character arc and then come back to a normal arc. I'd like to try for a normal arc first, though.
