THink of it this way. 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.

Now right now you guys are kinda rushing into it, making characters without a full foundation. Don't make the people live in an empty lot.
