Character Lineup

So ive been trying to work with my characters to come up with a good solid story, but nothing was coming to me, until i decided to change the comic relief and villain, it just made sense. And now ive at least got a story to work with, im going to have the hero, and villain fighting over the love of the loved one, and the comic relief is going to be her father i was thinking? even though he looks like the hilbilly type and she looks fancy, but i might try that, or maybe hes just the bartender or some strange guy thats hanging around the bar, that intervenes with the 2 of them telling them what to do, and maybe he ends up with the loved one.. ya havent figured much out but ill have something before i go into storyboards.
