[@Altered Tundra] She is even worse. I still have a few problems with her, and maybe this is just me having a stick up mah ass. [quote] Though Ava hasn’t been practicing her karate for almost seven years[/quote] [quote] Ava regularly keeps up with her karate by going to a dojo downtown twice a week.[/quote] lol [quote]Though Ava hasn’t been practicing her karate for almost seven years, some things have stuck. Whether it’s because of muscle memory or living on the streets for the majority of the latter half of her teen years, Ava can fight. She might not be good enough to take down a dozen men without so much as flinching, but she can hold her own in a fight. At most, she’s underestimated and those who are on the opposite end of that headspace will also find themselves on the opposite end of her fist connecting with their jaw.[/quote] This is coming from someone who has extensively practiced martial arts for a few years; while some stuff stick it would be the basic stuff that she probably practiced a thousand times. I'm not saying that she shouldn't know how to fight, but I think by some point; anything fancy like takedowns and shits would end with her hurting herself. She should still also lose against someone bigger and stronger than herself. [quote]He then said she would begin a new life in the morning. Until then, he said she should rest as if he was confident she would stay through the night. [/quote] so he took no precautions at all to stop the next step in his dark and mysterious past from escaping? Is he cocky or stupid? [i]Especially[/i] since she's the only one not evil. [quote]Ava moonlighted as a Protector of Life. Corny as it may seem, that’s exactly what she started to do since she made this decision six months ago. At twenty-three, Ava uses her abilities to do what she can and help those that the government can’t help.[/quote] I know you want to do the viglante angle and all, but I'm wondering what exactly she does and how she hasn't been arrested/killed yet? Even with her background with athleticism and martial arts, there's only so much she can do. At some point, like with vigilantes irl, she would get arrested and/or get her ass kicked... unless you want that to happen in story, that'd be fun. And her weaknesses are either not really weaknesses (like... not being able to do anything unconscious) or not going to come into play. Since I'm a superior writer, I came up with a few that make sense; heat (transmitting all of that energy is bound to build up some energy and hurt her), recoil (basically her blasts knocks her back a bit and throws off her balance), and impact (so her aura will act like regular armor, it'll be able to stop bullets and shit, but the impact could still hurt her... and there's also the fact she should still be able to be knocked over).
