It never rolled easy on the tongue, so I changed it. Long story short, I don't have an answer to that question because everything happens at once and is always in flux.

Most of the characters were already formed so the characters come first. Then the world gets structured, painted, and polished. Sorry for the answer earlier, I wasn't thinking correctly. The characters most definitely come first. Everything is centered around the characters and their plight.(less)

Black Halo Requiem by Aurora Mediant
“Balance? There is no balance! Reason and love are not compatible. Love, love will never know reason. How could it? And reason, reason asks you to forsake everything you know in your heart to be true in favor of cold, rational calculations. I will not deny what I know to be true, and there is only one truth of which I am certain. I love her. I would do anything for her because the truth is… I am nothing without her.”
