ok so from all of this we can get one thing. We all are working on becoming better writers. We all have to remember we don't have every member of the group's character memorized like we have our own. So we must continually periodically explain why/how our character is doing something because we will forget. Showing more flaws (raw emotion flaws like fear and worry) is a perfect way of bringing the character back down to earth so everyone is happy. 

Also, even though everyone has been training to fight for at least like 11 years or so. Besides Maximus who is the oldest of the group. Even though we have been through some hairy things for our characters stories, they are still technically kids, adventuring to the side, still green in the world.This is what I'm stressing, I want them to find others who are stronger than them and get ass's handed to them so they grow even more in the rp. 

I am no where near perfect but When I look at this from a Reader's standpoint it helps a ton, I have to remember that we to write the obvious *For us* down so the reader can learn more, As for me I understand each character more than everyone because I do see the pm's and work out back stories. But others don't, so give them a reason*withoutrevealiingthebackstory* somewhat understand
