-----------------------
Other than the first short arc, which introduced all the characters at once, each arc will focus on a person's story unless they meet or are in close proximity to one another.  Each arc won't just solely focus on the MC POV, but characters around their immediate orbit or are extremely important to the plot, but if it ever switches away from the MC to another character, it will be for a brief time.

The only character who won't have a second Pov and it will always follow the character is Alice
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Will have character portraits created over time, but that is a lot of money and will take time. In the meantime, they will be left blank.

Hyman didn't move an inch, staring at the enemy lines ahead, meeting the gaze of Lord Carter, who stood opposite him across the barren land. He didn't speak a word, nor make a single move, as the lines behind him ran around, desperately forming a formation only to be told to make a new one, seeing the desert counter what they wished to do. An hour passed, each side, desperately forming up, trying to keep their movements secret, only to realise they were seen through. Hyman didn't flinch the entire time, not even a single twitch of the finger, only continuing to stare at Carter, waiting, praying for him to make the first move and begin the battle.
