Definitive direction

Okay I've now decided to set the comic in the Realm.
The prinicple main characters are Eledor and Aeries.
It is about how Eledor takes Aeries on as his squire and how they adventure across the Realm, meeting strange people, dealing with problems they encounter and stuff.
They meet other characters in their travels and even have a few join their little group.
Anyways sayonara

Ideas?

Hey peoples, me again.
I was hoping for some help in deciding the storyline and style of my comic.
I've already decided it'll be done in right to left manga style, as it means each page will be different and allows for more dynamic scenes and stuff.
What I would really like help with is if I should set it in present day or go for a different time period for where it is set.
Main characters were determined to be Eledor(not at start of comic), Aeries, Emyli, Ronen, Claire. Ronen and Claire are generally a pair so they can pretty much count as one character.
I was orignally going to set it in a fictional Australian town named Toreno, and Have Emyli, Ronen and Claire as new students at Toreno Senior Seconday College. But I've been rethinking that, I don't if I'd really like to do a school setting as it is fairly heavily used in most webcomics I've read.
Anyways, if anyone can come with an opinion from what I wrote above, I'd like to hear it.

hmmm...webcomic?

Asked me what this was couple years back I wouldn'tve had a clue, now I would be able to tell you what the biggest ones are, without hesitation. PVP. Penny Arcade, Megatokyo and the Wotch.
All have a decided focus on humour, although MegaTokyo has become a bit more serious over the years it has been going, which I've found to be a very interesting process.
And now I've come to the decision to write and draw my own. I'll need to get a website I can stash it on, and actually think up a decent storyline, work out how my characters will look in the comic, work on my dialogue and then if I manage all that I can actually start.
I've made an original story up for the comic, but it will use all of the primary characters from the Saudes Saga, and now all I have to do is work on my drawing skills and viola, it will hopefully be cool. Then after I get a hundred or so done, I'll try to spread the word on the net about my comic...aah yes plans. Anyways, while doing that of course I'm doing my course and occasionally working on my stories, and probably doing some script writing for my friend's game, and trying to get some work in as well.
I've got a busy year ahead of me if all goes to plan....
