Thanks a bunch! Glad for the support.
In response to your question, I have a few thoughts. For names, if you can't come up with anything, you can find a number of fantasy and other name generators online that are very helpful. As for how to start out...I try to use the beginning of the story, and introduction of the main characters, as a way to begin to show people about them. Show them going about their daily business before jumping into the plot. If you want them to be the hardworking type, maybe have them doing physical labor, like chopping wood or farming. If they're a lazy drinker type, have them in a tavern. If they're an assassin, start them out in the middle of an assassination. Might be a little cliched, I really don't know (XD) but it works pretty well. Then, slowly draw them into the plot, maybe with a subtle event at first, then more things happen...
I'm not sure if that makes any sense at all. But uh...hopefully it's helpful.
