I tried NaNo once before with an original story, but quickly burned out. I'm not good at working on stuff routinely, I usually get inspiration in spurts, which isn't always a good thing.

Hmm ... yeah, that would be tricky. Even with Shiroe, I sometimes have trouble writing things for him. Rayneshia gets completely OOC moments, which is why I have the convenient plot excuse that she's now an Ancient and has lived for 500 years after what is known as the 'Mass Disappearance', when all of the Pioneers (the Adventurers trapped because of the Catastrophe) disappeared.

I'm the kind of person that always wants to follow strictly what canon material says.

And the "bad end" results in the Mass Disappearance I mentioned above; Shiroe makes a miscalculation in his plans, which allows the Genius to make a final strike against the Adventurers, forcing Shiroe to only create a shaky connection to the real world. Adventurers had to choose between one of the worlds, and weren't able to travel between them. To even create the connection, Shiroe was forced to sacrifice Krusty (although Krusty did it willingly) and the entire city of Nakasu. Those that chose to remain were able to settle into a somewhat-normal life in Theldesia afterwards, but then five years later, they suddenly all vanished, leaving behind the Landers and their children, if they had any (pregnancy became possible). The Genius weren't completely dealt with, but they showed no signs of activity after the Mass Disappearance, after they and the Adventurers had one final(?) showdown.
