While walking down a crowded street Chimera feels the presence of a hostile person. He can sense the person rushing closer to him as he turns he deflects a punch thrown Alma Nocht.

While making a counter attack he is bombarded with series of punches as the crown scatters Chimera begins his counter attack.

On a public street so any weapons that fit in the ability range of the opponents fighting goes

Any weapon the character his written in their back story is available

First point of contention: Chimera can't use any weapons. The character sheet only has Fire, Decay, Martial Arts, and Environmental Awareness, so those are the four things Chimera has access to. He will have to rely on using his martial arts to tag Alma and then use the attached powers to increase his damage (since Fire and Decay work like DoTs in this description.)

Second point of contention: Alma's behavior in the scenario (running up and trying to punch her opponent) is completely out of character. Because Alma's powers revolve around her slipping in under the radar (so to speak,) it's unfair to put her at a tactical disadvantage where her opponent is already on guard. That isn't to say that Chimera can't sense her intentions and avoid her attack, but it wouldn't go down anything like what is described in the scenario.

Also, Chimera is a decent first character, and I think you will be able to improve on your skills as you create more. The bio is the perfect length, but the personality and all the power descriptions are all pretty short. Don't feel like you need to limit the power descriptions to just talking about the powers. You can use them to continue to tell a story (see any of the top 50 characters for examples.) Don't be afraid to get away from the generic "this is how the character's power works" description and do something more creative and original (again, see any of the most popular characters.)

Ok that helps alot when writing the description for powers and personality I wasn't sure if it should be in story form or descriptive. So what you have told me will help me greatly with my next one.

In regards with my set up it was attempting others to look and read the descriptions instead of just judging by the pic.

Really thanks a lot for your tips i will make use of them.

Hey man, you picked one of my characters to fight, awesome. Don't worry about the set-up. We never judge based on who would win the fight anyway. If you look at the character Winston Little (one of mine) He's a ten year old boy with no combat superpowers. He's in the top fifty on the leaderboards.

It's more about writing a good character. Having fun, interesting ideas around here. Have fun! This place is awesome.
