So, here's a topic...What Characters are going to be used NPC-Wise? Seeing as it isn't really canon, do we want there to be a change in characters, at least for the major Characters. Obviously all the citizens would be created by us, but what about the Jarls, Generals etc? Should I make new ones or refer to the canon ones?

Depends on how you want things to turn out. Expect canon NPCs to stick with their canon alliances (ie Whiterun trying to remain neutral). If you want allegiances to be different, probably better to make new ones.
