May I ask for all of you not to make any characters yet. We need an actual plot before we need characters.

Here let me explain: Coming up with a basic plot is like a foundation of a house. you can't have a house without a foundation. You can't have a story without a plot. After you come up with the basics, you start adding the skeleton of the house. Those are more detailed parts of the plot, like what the problem is, and how it will start. Now that the house has a skeleton people could live in it, technically, and the people that will live in the house are the characters in a story. Now that they could live there, they want to have a roof and walls, and that is going to be even more detail plot points. AFter a while the characters decorate the house, making the story interesting and such, and when a story resovles, it is basically them selling the house and moving away, opening up a chance to make a new story.

Right now you guys are putting people onto a partially made foundation. They are going to die because they have no cover. And when I say they are going to die, I mean the comic is going to die. This is as far as teh show had gotten before, so please can we put off characters until we actaully make the plot?

Sorry I know all of you want to make bios, but that is for ALL of us to do and we want to have the best characters for the plot.

I want to put up some rules for making characters first, if you don't mind, I mean some character traits that will be necessary for the readers to be able to connect with,
