First "sort of" good run, "SPOILERS!!"

Hey guys,
Before I start rambling incoherently about my "master plan" please note that this is my first ever real roleplay run and this is kind of an experiment to see how fun it will be. Also note that I will use EEkeeper to customise the run to make it work but I would rather not use any mods, unless you have a great idea for one!
Also I do not really know which sections I should have posted it sin since it contains content that could fit in several so I choose to put it here.
Here we go:
I Had this idea for a full run going on in my head, but the big difference from some other ideas floating around in there is that I planned to make this my first (kind of?)good run. So the plan of the character and story is that it will be super original(lack of creativity) and contain the theme "hero goes bad or bananas/nuts".
So the PC will start out as the ultimate good gal and will be a female elven/half elven(EEkeeper) inquisitor, can't settle on a choice of weapon yet(do not really want to go for two-handed sword, maybe staves?).
The story through the first game will be typically hero like with a few exceptions. First of all Dorn will tag along because the PC feels bad for him and hopes to turn him around into a force of good instead of butt kicking badassery. Neera will also follow but will not be too relevant to the story and will instead just be the groups caster(can't pass on the new npcs!). Rasaad will also be part of the group together with Imoen(help with a replacement please!) and Adjantis or Minsc.
The first game should play out as some kind of wake up call from the idea that people are all good at their core and that life is a wonderful story where the hero always win. The pc's view on life will take a beating once her foster father is killed and his two most trusted allies "unfortunately" gets petrified when looking for shiny pebbles in Mutamins garden. The first game contains many sad events that I plan to use as a reason for the crisis of identity that will happen in the second game.
During the first game I also plan to add some romance between the PC and Dorn and or the PC and Rasaad(this will also be part of the crisis in the second game(can't have a original story without a love triangle).
At the end of the first game our elven inquisitor will be pretty broken about who she wants to be, will she still after all that has happened continue to strive for good or will she be turned to a darker alignment from her tainted blood and her story which now ended with her standing over the corpse of her brother and foster father's murderer?
Up to this point I have to admit it may be pretty original and not that changed but personally I see this as more of an introduction to the real story, which also works pretty well with the real game.
The second part of the game is where the shit hits the fan and the stories three choices slowly will appear(three á la mass effect).
After the torture and escape from Irenicus dungeon and her sisters abduction the PCs instability will yet again appear and she do not know if she should hop on another train of bloody revenge or if the should stay true to her original alignment and class and keep striving for good and try to free her sister.
This part should be easy to roleplay since it's pretty much part of all the dialogue and plot in this part of the game but the second part of the story(the three choices part) will be more unique(?).
This part will be summed up by one of the three: "the heroes fall", "the rise of the hero" or "the hero will start singing about daisies, running around talking about a very impolite chicken named Melicamp while every now and then say; soo empty.......". The choice around this part will also affect alignment with the help of ol' EEkeeper. And the new alignment may be: Lawful(?)evil, Lawful good or chaotic neutral.
The story will shortly be summarized like this and will all start with the elven inquisitors fall as a paladin:
EVIL
(?)
Falls for Dorn who "corrupts" her with his display of pure evil power gained from his demon patron and his efficiency of eliminating "problems" around him. May also slay Rasaad in the process. When will this happen? I do not really know since I have never romanced Dorn and thus do not know where in the story his romance kicks in but I remember him forcing the PC to do some evil deeds and around that time would be perfect. May later on betray Dorn in some fashion.
How will this affect the PC? The PC's alignment will change from lawful good(paladin) to lawful evil or worse and she will also go through a class change to Blackguard.
Any thoughts here would be most appreciated!
GOOD
(?)
Falls for Rasaad while possibly in a tragic and reluctant manner slaying Dorn. Not much change here from the first game, will keep her class and alignment and continue the rest of the game in a selfless way while spreading happiness and rainbows across Faerun(not literally). She will also regain her paladin status from one of the two quests in the process.
Any more creative ideas would be most welcome!
CHAOTIC NEUTRAL
(????????)
Goes nuts from the pressure from those around her and could possibly kill her whole party because she suspect that someone stole her chocolate chip cookies. This road will be crazy and she will help, scare, kill, hug, and do all manner of weird stuff to the poor inhabitants of Faerun.
Sadly the conversations in game does not quite allow this path so I do not really know what to do here, but it could be fun... yet kind of hard? I DO NOT KNOW!:s
How does this affect the PC? Her alignment will change to chaotic neutral and her class may change(Barbarian? Berzerker?.....Jester????).
If I come up with something more I may add it later
Soooooo why did I post this? Because I want to share my idea of a run with a great community and I want some help to make this an amazing and fun run!
So my guided questions are:
-Is there something I should do during the first game that fits with this story?
-Anything I did not mention that I should do during the second game?
-Anything you think I should do under: EVIL, GOOD or CHAOTIC NEUTRAL?
-Any ideas for the party I should bring along during the first game? The start of the second game? And once the PC choses one of the three paths?
-Any portraits you think would better reflect the character? Any portrait you think should reflect the character during one of the three paths?
-Any tips on making a paladin?
-Also if you think I should start off as some other race/class combination please do tell!
-[insert anything I missed here]
Also if anyone feels like trying this out for themselves please comment on how it goes!
