I really hesitate to throw in my two cents here, since I think the GM and Shanks have said it all. *Peace* But since they haven't said: I feel like this RP is not a fight based story. Your characters are something I'd expect to find in an Arena story. But here we're focused more on the daily struggles of the individual and how they plan to overcome to the Technopath. Not how powerful they are in a throw down. Or at least that's what I'm getting. And with your characters being so emotionally detached, and dare I say stunted, you have to heavily rely on what they can do power wise, not what they can feel and express. Which limits what your characters can or cannot do in a certain situation and very much makes them one-dimensional. And to be honest, except for the power set, Drake and Blade read like the same person And lastly, I'm not doing this out of spite. I think you put a lot of thought into your characters, I just don't think they're the right fit for the story as they are. I do think with some tailoring they can fit right in.
