Chapters of Light and Dark

This is the first game I really hope to finish, I have started like 20 games already, but none of them got to be even a demo. The story is like this (if it looks similar to something, don't flame me. I can change it)(For those who played/finished Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, yes. I got inspired in that game, but without counting what I'm going to tell, there is NOTHING in common with Star Wars)(Story may change at the end, too. That depends if the persons who read this have an idea):
Many years ago before this story started, magic started to get discovered by the world. They used it for many things to make their life easier. But some people used it with no intentions of helping, just for destroying. Other people fought with them with their own magic. 300 years later, still before this story, they realized that magic was not supposed to be for good persons, and they decided to call the different ways of learning magic "paths". The light path was used for white mages, the good people. The dark path was used by black mages, the ones who wanted to destroy. And the not so good, neither bad were on the "mid" side as red mages. But not many years later, dark users also appeared as white and red mages, also
different kind of warriors. So the sages of that time thought that not only magic could have paths. Since then, the people had to learn since a small age to choose a path to follow and train to get to it. 200 years later, war started again by dark mages who are taking many villages. Here is where our story start...
5 years ago, a boy named Lance started his training at an age of 11 years. As his father, he wanted to be a recognized light-path warrior. But something happened one day... A day of darkness... A day that changed his life forever... A day where his decision for taking a path would change...
This is where the player must choose the destiny of Lance. How? It's going to be explained after the characters
----------
Characters
Name: Lance
Gender/age: Male/16 years
Degree:Warrior
Path: Unknown
Home:Stratos village
Lance had a dark past at his age of 11. A dark day is still torturing him. He forgot most of what he had learned about the light path, but he is sure to continue his training. The path he will follow is chosen by the player. The dark day will be mentioned inside the game and it's up to the player to discover it, once the game is ready.
Name: Alan
Gender/age: Male/42 years
Degree: Royal Warrior
Path: Light
Home: Stratos village
He is the master of many young persons to teach tehm abouth the light path, one of them Lance. He have defeated many dark sorcerers. He took Lance as a student because his dad was his great friend.
Name: Hector
Gender/age: Male/17 years
Degree: Fighter
Path: Mid
Home: Stratos village
He have been training with Alan, but he does not know well Lance. He is learning about light, but it's hard to learn well when you also know what the dark path can offer: Power, strenght, and many other things. But he does not want to destroy everything that he loves
Name: Kate
Gender/age: Female/16 years
Degree: Archer
Path: Light
Home: Dorman village
She have fought in many battles for a short age. She have protected the village of Dorman since she was 14. She have a large knowledge about the light path, but not much knowledge about other people, because she have been alone almost all her life.
Name: Mark
Gender/age: Male/17 years
Path: Light
Degree: White mage
Home:North Kingdom
He was rised in the castle of the king and learned about the light side. He have trained with many different weapons, but he always was bad, so he trained with magic. When the castle got taken by the forces of a dark sorcerer, he looked for persons that could help him.
Oliver
Gender/age: Male/27 years
Path: Dark
Degree: Dark Mage
Home: Unknown
One of the strongest dark mages, the one who took the castle of the North Kingdom. He have trained with different powers of magic, so don't expect him to be easy if you have to fight him.
These are not all the characers of the game, the other ones will be revealed on the game.
--------------
The game
What I did not mention before(Lance's dark day, Oliver's home, other characters, etc) will appear on the game. Here I'm going to explain what is the game about.
At the start of the game, you must answer some questions(5 exactly, depending of the answers, it will be the items/money you start with). After that, you get an item that tells you which path are you following, and this is where the fun start.
In star wars, just before the last levels, you must choose between light and dark side. Here, with the first 5 questions you are already choosing your destiny. On the game, you would have different decisions to make, from simple "I like helping others" to "Should I save his life? He is an assasin, but killing him would be as bad as him". Every question counts here. Your answer can take you nearer to any path, or even make it harder for you to get to it. In some places, for exaple, you won't be able to enter if the dark path is the greatest one. The different paths have different features.
Light: Great widom and many good spells
Mid: Agility and rare items
Dark: Strenght and weapons
Depending of your path, there will be different bosses, items, party and, of course, endings. I have planned 3 endings with each path. the item you receive when you start wil tell you the path you are following, and how many points each one have. (That part have already been made, and works).
-----------
Requests
If anyone can, please answer this
1.-May I change the characters names?(If so, suggest)
2.-I need another title, this one I don't like it much
3.-Suggestion for the "mid" path name will be accepted. (A good one, "Gray" is not a good name.
4.-Names for cities
5.-Opinions of the story and suggestions to improve it.
6.-Should I add a day/night system? It can add difficult, but can cause people to wait a lot of time for something.
----------------
Notes:
the dark day of Lance have nothing to do with his father, neither his mother, so don't think that you already know what happened
As I said before, there are no jedis, no star ships, no robots, etc. It have almost nothing to do with star wars!
Edit: There will be no screenshots here. I'm making the oficial site and there will be everything you need to know. Once the demo is ready, I'll upload it. But I'm still waiting for opinions.

Good story.
I;m good with this kind of help:
1. Take a few words that discribe them and cut parts from them. Strong, Cool, Wild become Croldg.
2.-The Bright Darkness, Chapters of Light and Death
3.- Varren
4.- Elidon, Holopent, Arkiment, Fog, Yyzenfold, Algon Hearth, The Varren Outpost, Imegnant, Grindech, Tribulate, Deuz Perril, Dazmand.
5. Give cooleer names to the Warriors. white and black mages remaind most players of Healers and Attackers with wands.
6.No.

Thanks for the opinions. They can be helpful.
Edit: I'll use (or may use) the name of chapters of light and death, but change it to dark instead of death, but credit will be used. If another good name come, I can change it, but still give credit.
