Reading through the plot I realize there isn't much to add, unless you are looking for one of the following:

1) alternate endings or beginnings

2) what the player has to do in the game to win it
Balance is imperative; without it, total collapse and destruction is imminent.

Also you can:

-expand on the history, adding new things.

-change things you don't like, or add a third story for another character.

-add ideas for possible sequels (I already had one, I don't remember if I finally put it in the doc).

-etc.

Can I say about it?
I think that two characters stories is enough.

But there are 3 characters... well, technically we have a plot for the 3, so yeah, better not to add much more, it would become very complex.

But I noticed there could be some plot-holes, and we have to fill those as well. That's what I mean with "expand", too.

Should the game be divided into Chapters? I think it would make it a lot easier to plan it if we do.

Yeah, that's what we are probably going to do. This one would be Chapter 1 (in fact, it says that in the menu I drew :P ).

As in sequels?
...if we can't even come up with enough puzzles to populate one game, how do you expect to create multiple?
(Rather than story, although plothole patching is necessary, it is time to focus on gameplay. At least, in my opinion.)

No. When I asked the question I meant the game being divided into chapters.

Ah. Point taken. :P

This is probably more of a message to Vortex then...the story's great, we just need more gameplay.
