This is exactly the problem I had when I started writing. My answer: your story is conflict between different narratives. Pick one person to embody each narrative. In Ari 1 and 2 one narrative was pro-freedom competence, embodied by Mike Martin.https://twitter.com/WatcherontheWeb/status/1459952745365057549 …

2/ The other narrative was anti-freedom government, embodied in a few threads: bureaucracy (POTUS and senator), militarism (Tudel), social justice activism (Louisa). Just hand wave the embodiment characters into existence. Then surround them with friends, spouses, and allies

Replying to @TheLumpenprole @MorlockP
God, this is already transforming an old idea I’ve had for ages into a workable story. Thinking of Correia’s Son of the Black Sword and your Aristillus and looking at them through that lens is already crystalizing a world and idea into a story in my head.
