Already got 'em. And unlike most series, in which the cute animals are just comic relief or space fillers, mine are unique and useful in their own ways. And they can become awesome warriors.

Well, they can't ALL be like that. It's important to create balance and have a full spectrum of character personalities, rather than overloading on one type or another.

Have the main character fail to achieve his magnificent quest and die about 1/3 of the way through. Then use nothing but supporting characters, and don't focus on the dead hero too much. He/She should be about forgotton by the end.
Like I said, balance. Remember that there will be more than one storyline, and that they will take place on a variety of different worlds. Some stories might be like that, while others will follow a more traditional style (i.e. the hero actually wins).

And ninjas.
Oh, and pirates, almost forgot that.
Zombies? Desert full of 'em. Ninjas? Warring clans, and they're demons to boot. Pirates? Bandits plague the trade routes, Pirates rule the seas, and eventually, Air Pirates will take the skies. I think that about covers that.
Thanks to all of you for your input! It means a lot that you've decided to share your thoughts on this. It's a big help when others contribute to the effort.
