Eclipse Over Paragon (64609) would definitely fit Darkfire, and possibly Taraklis.
For Cobalt Red:
A rich celebutante has been sentenced to jail for drunk driving. The plan is to break her out of the Zig, then hold her for ransom for immense profit! What could go wrong? Celebrity Kidnapping (villainous, arc id 1388)
Missions on this arc are generally 30-38.
@PW - Police Woman (50 AR/dev blaster on Liberty)
TALOS - PW war journal - alternate contact tree using MA story arcs
=VICE= "Give me Liberty, or give me debt!"
For Darkfire, I'd recommend "Two Households Alike", #126582.

"And I say now these kittens, they do not get trained/As we did in the days when Victoria reigned!" -- T. S. Eliot, "Gus, the Theatre Cat"
For Taraklis in just a few levels, has one boss with an ambush, but shouldn't be too hard if you're on heroic.
Arc #137561: Ctrl + Alt + Reset (temporarily has a longer title)
Morality: Heroic
Level range: 15-30
Description: You're stuck in a time loop and you have to find out the cause and get rid of it so you can stop reliving this mission!
And possibly for Darkfire Avenger. Has one AV on standard difficulty with no defensive/control powers.
Arc #3369: Matchstick Women
Morality: Heroic
Level Range: 1-54 Council, Custom
Description: Follow the mysterious flame to a group of women arsonists and their crazed leader.
It's time Commander Kira made her Power Play (#187269).

Commander Kira, currently level 40 Fire/Storm Corruptor.
Looking for: Self-serving villainy, or mystery/investigation arcs of any alignment. Minimum level 39 or higher; I'm willing to exemp her but I've grown rather attached to that little cloud in the short time I've had it. No AVs or knockback-resistant EBs please, I'm squishy. Also enemies with high fire resistance take too long to kill, fire armor EBs are right out.
[/ QUOTE ]My Standing Within the Mists arc is good up to lvl 40 and is made of self-serving villainy. I haven't had any reviews on it since I made some changes to it so I'd be interested in hearing feedback. I've soloed it on my defender so it's squishy friendly.
My other arc (the Chris Jenkins one) is a one-off single mission humor arc, levels 1-14. So it doesn't meet your lowbies tech/science requirement but it wouldn't take much time out of your day if you want a change of pace.
Are you playing solo or are you teaming?
Funny thing PoliceWoman...I ran that arc on that character a few days ago. I'm not too big on the tabloid humor, but aside from that, as a "fun and profit" mission it was a solid arc. Even though the last mission is not really stalker friendly, I did beat it, with much Focus spam. I don't recall that there was anything actually wrong with the arc. I ended up giving it four stars, because it was lacking that little bit of extra awesomeness that would have made it truly memorable and pushed it up to 5. (The kind of awesomeness "Teen Phalanx" has).
I'll start on the other two tomorrow.

Darkfire Avenger is almost in range for "The Amulet of J'gara" (ID 1709, Levels 25-33).
Cobalt Red is almost in range for "MacGuffin Delivery Service" (ID 1567, Levels 35-40).
Commander Kira is right in range for "MacGuffin Delivery Service". If she likes self-serving then this arc should fit, the story implies that you came up with the initial plan by yourself before it all spiraled out of control.
I don't recommend "The Portal Bandits" until after issue 15. Their are a lot of improvements on the way for it in that issue, especially in the custom critters department. Fortunately it is a 35-50 arc so you probably have time.
I have a possible arc for Taraklis when she reaches the Lv10-14 range.
The Horsemen Chronicles, Part 1 (#195149).
Feedback is welcome. (And yeah, I know the Madness Mage is repetitive -- he'll be gone when Issue 15 arrives and I can manually set level limits.)

or one of my other arcs including two 2010 Player's Choice Winners and an2009 Official AE Awards Nominee for Best Original Story
My 1st Arc , which taught me a lot about limits of the MA.And which, by request, I finished with a lvl 4 un-enhanced blaster
Title: A Father's Iron Will
Faction: Neutral (But a Heroic story)
Arc ID: 198952
Creators Global Name: @KemLi
Difficulty Level: Medium (Unless your on higher than Tenacious)

Story Type Serious/Dramatic
Mission Count: 2
Note All bosses , EBs and AVs scale. I was able to complete it solo with a lvl 4 un-enhanced blaster , with judicious pulls and insps. Designed for teams but soloable.
My 2nd Arc , published today.
Title: A Shadowy Way of Light
Arc ID: 221466
Creators Global Name: @KemLi
Faction : Neutral (A truly Villainous story)
Difficulty Level: Medium-High. Adjust difficulty to suit your playstyle.
Synopsis Purely Villain arc. You've been contacted by a new Religious Sect in the Isles and they've thrust you into dangerous situations. But they've fed your desire to be truly evil and have led you to face some of Paragon's finest. You will be the ultimate victor and rule all that you survey.
Story Type Serious/Dramatic
Mission Count: 4
Note All bosses , EBs and AVs scale.
Feedback appreciated and I suggest bringing friends for either arc or setting a low difficulty =]
Pinnacle & Virtue:
A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.
For Cobalt Red, I'd recommend "the Revenge of Hro'Dtohz" (1356). True, it's a save the world from the Rikti deal, but Vanguard does pay nicely. Oh, and just to mention - it's technically a 45-50 arc that expands on the events of the RWZ, but I haven't noticed any trouble taking lower-level characters into it. Generally, people have told me "if you can fight Rikti, you won't have much trouble". Bring a team if you'd like to see some of the more special spawns.

Pity... I've got a pair of arcs that would suit Taraklis and Darkfire Avenger quite nicely, but they're both designed for levels 45+

5 missions, but a fast run

Thanks 
Thank you for the suggestions so far. Some of these I have already played, namely two of Lazarus's arcs (Darkfire will be playing "Amulet" soon), "Fireside Poet," "Matchstick Women" (although it was along time ago, will replay since you've probably made changes since then).
In answer to Alt-aholic's question, I am playing solo. Also, I am looking for somewhat specific genres with these characters, while I appreciate people's desire to promote their arcs some of them don't really fit, genre-wise. Also, I left it out of the original post but Kira is looking for reasonably easy arcs, on par with standard enemies difficulty-wise. I don't want to turn down my difficulty, I'm a fire/storm, I need lots and lots of guys to annihilate
Just ran _jjac_ and Venture's arcs with Darkfire...next up are Lazarus and Bubbawheat.
Next up for Kira: Sumericon and Jophiel.

So I logged in Taraklis's cooler level 50 twin and finished her build...and realized I've run through all of Crimson's arcs. So I'm throwing another horse into the proverbial race:
Thunderkiss, Level 50 Energy/Elec Blaster.
In this case, give me the unloved, the groan-worthy, the pain in the butt guys that have some of the best story potential. I want stories focused around Malta, Knives of Artemis, or Rularuu. Nobody will play your arc because it contains those guys? Well I will. She's pretty tough for a Blaster, I can handle a downgraded AV or three, as long as the missions aren't filled with customs with KB and Mez protection.

Look in my Sig. Four missions that 'should' take about an hour at most. Fair number of Mezz-type stuff. A EB scale final and a Ally in a couple of missions.
Feedback can be left in the thread linked in the Sig. Also have a version of this on test as well. I just updated the linked thread to take in account that a copy of the Live servers MArc server is on Test. I have aslo went through and checked/tweaked the Arc on Test.
Thank you for the time...

You might give my "Amazon-Avatars" a try, Arc #5909.
Knives, Malta, and some customs, but the customs aren't obscene. One downgraded AV for final fight, but it's one without a defensive set.
And I have soloed the arc with multiple blasters during testing (although, those were also "bit tougher than the average blaster" blasters)

Arc 5909: "Amazon-Avatars"
Arc 6143: "Escalation" (Nominee: Architect Awards, Nominee: Player Awards, and Dev's Choice!)
For Darkfire I'd suggest the Arc in my sig. It is a very dark arc with a solid story. Should be a good challenge.

Taraklis, currently level 8 Archery/Devices Blaster.
Looking for: Sci-fi or Tech-themed arcs. Any alignment. Lowbie friendly for now, obviously.
[/ QUOTE ]
"Bricked Electronics" (2180) and "Dream Paper" (1874) are both intended for lowbies. Dream Paper as soon as you feel comfortable around the Tsoo, Bricked should be good for anything up to 20 as I've played it on a lowbie shield scrapper who I think are supposed to suck?
[ QUOTE ]
Cobalt Red, currently level 32 Claws/Ninjitsu Stalker.
Looking for: Profit. She's a mercenary, she'll do anything as long as it pays. Again, I prefer arcs designed for mid-levels. I actually kill stuff rather than sneaking past everything, so details like escorts don't bother me, but to-hit buffs on custom enemies do. Can handle easy AVs/EBs.
Commander Kira, currently level 40 Fire/Storm Corruptor.
Looking for: Self-serving villainy, or mystery/investigation arcs of any alignment. Minimum level 39 or higher; I'm willing to exemp her but I've grown rather attached to that little cloud in the short time I've had it. No AVs or knockback-resistant EBs please, I'm squishy. Also enemies with high fire resistance take too long to kill, fire armor EBs are right out.
[/ QUOTE ]
The first two missions of "The Bravuran Jobs" (5073) auto-ex to 30. Wyvern and Legacy Chain just don't get any higher. The rest are open-ended. I'd be interested in difficulty feedback -- all the customs are standard/standard but it's still proving to be a challenge for some people.
Up with the overworld! Up with exploration! | Want a review of your arc?
My arcs: Dream Paper (ID: 1874) | Bricked Electronics (ID: 2180) | The Bravuran Jobs (ID: 5073) | Backwards Day (ID: 329000) | Operation Fair Trade (ID: 391172)
I'll toss some out there.
They are all in my sig, and some will be getting some upgrade once I-15 drops.
"Not Her Father's Oak Island" is level 5/8 to 20 and has no custom anythings in it. It's my most played and suitable for either faction. Someone said that it had a "Da Vinci Code"/"National Treasure" feel to it. Foes are a mixed bag of Brickers, Luddites, Trolls, and another in that range. I meat it to be no more difficult than a standard arc.
"By Any Means" is a mystery/investigation type arc that has a lot of custom minions (all on standard) and one Boss/EB per mission. The final guy has about three craptons of -toHit though, and one of the other EB's has a Fire armor. Best suited for higher levels. The last guy can be really hard to beat solo though.
My first short story (detective fiction) came out in Jan-2012. Other stories and books to follow, I hope. Because of "real writing". COH was a big part of that happening.

Commander Kira might find The Echo suitable Arc ID in my sig). It's heroic Alignment, and the contact will be calling you 'hero' during it, but I would definitely class it as an investigation/mystery type of arc. The last mission is mechanically a bit rough, but I've received good feedback on the story.
Eco.
MArcs:
The Echo, Arc ID 1688 (5mish, easy, drama)
The Audition, Arc ID 221240 (6 mish, complex mech, comedy)
Storming Citadel, Arc ID 379488 (lowbie, 1mish, 10-min timed)

I have several characters on the go right now that I'm trying to level up almost exclusively through the Mission Architect, since I'm tired of dev-created content. However, the Architect search function is not very good. This will improve with i15, true, but it still won't be perfect, so I'm asking here, gimme some arcs for the following characters:
Taraklis, currently level 8 Archery/Devices Blaster.
Looking for: Sci-fi or Tech-themed arcs. Any alignment. Lowbie friendly for now, obviously.
Darkfire Avenger, currently level 23 DM/Shield Scrapper.

I'll provide feedback in-game on any arc I play as a result of this post, or more detailed feedback in this thread, your arc thread, or a PM upon request.
