Stryder can be a vit picky when it comes to his character, though I get how he feels. *huggles Stry* You're fine with it now hubby?
As for the building of powers, I think we should have some means of improving abilities, later on in the story.
As you said, everybody is doing fine right now, but we are still at the start of the rp so there is no real need for improvement.
I would recommend considering more ways to improve, or it will be hard to keep interest.
