Even when sheets are being used, you should always make note of it. I don't mind letting it slide this time, but that's because this ain't ranked and whatnot. 

But this is some good advice stuff. :P Posts shouldn't be that long(I don't mind it, I like reading), just what you need to know. Pepper some story in it, but stretch it out over the course of the fight instead of blowing the load first. Always include what you'll be using in the fight, be it powers, weapons, armor, anything. If this was ranked, someone might not let you use - basically - anything that you didn't mention(competition and all).

My post will probably be closer to next week. I work for the rest of this week, including tonight(then get up early tomorrow for work). I don't know when my next day off will be.
