Whoa now hey wait a minute, mister.
I just checked through your stats, in case a fight DOES break out between our characters and I've noticed some pretty disturbing ass stats here.
Now, I don't want to start nit-picking because that is just awful, but holy hell Nick is some sort of lightweight powerhouse, brah. The reason why we have the stats is to make sure everyone, and I MEAN EVERYONE, plays fair. We've had cases of over-powered characters literally god-mod other characters and that is NO fun at all, mi amore.
According to this:
So from the way you're describing him, he'd have a body similar to
THIS. He's also short, or at least shorter than the average American (the average American male is 5'10", Nick is 5'7", which places him on the short list).
You're telling me that this short kid, with just *some* muscle can beat
Chaplin, whose body is built like
THIS. Chaplin is also 6'3", which is common among some Polynesians, as they are some of the scariest and biggest breed of humans. He also stands damn near a foot taller than Nick.
The only other characters that are the same height as Nick, who are also fighters are
Tony (who is 5'7" and 157lbs) and
Emil (who is 5'7" and 150lbs). Tony and Emil have strength stats of 7 and 6 respectively. They are heavier and have the same endurance stats as Nick. Yet Nick can pack a stronger punch than them.
WHY IS THAT?
How is it that he has a great fighting technique if he's lived on the streets? Good fighting technique usually means that he has good tactics and is a
Combat Pragmatist. NOT a freakin' high amount of strength that is almost equal to fucking Russell Northrop. And that dude is a scary ass motherfucker.
You don't need strength to be good in a fight. Emil and Tony are some of the dirtiest fighters on-board, they could probably take down Bif if the BOTH of them worked together.
But they won't.Fix it, please. Bring it down to a freakin' 5 since he's lighter than Emil AND Tony. If you want to bulk him up, bring the weight up. But remember, the heavier the character, the slower and less agile he'd be.
Now. Moving on.
These are contradictory points. If he constantly skips classes, there'd be no way he'd be so good in logical, mathematical thinking. In order to be good at ANY sort of maths, even quick calculation, you need constant practice. But when does he squeeze in the time to practice fucking MATHS when he's busy SKIPPING CLASSES and getting expelled and selling drugs? And you have to understand that there are TWO brands of intelligence:
Left: Book smarts, logical thinking, mathematics, languages, sciences, rational thinking, etc.
Right: Creativity, artistic, charismatic, strategy, thinking outside the box, etc.
I mean, that doesn't make any sense. I can see him being more a tactician being on the streets and all, but how in the hell did he get so good in maths, when NERDY characters like
KAY also have the same stats. Kay, being a nerd, devotes all her fucking time to studying. She's
also strong, but only because of her fatty mass. She sits on her ass ALL day studying and roleplaying. She never skips class and is a fucking DOLL when it comes to exams. You're telling me Nick is just as smart as her, even though he skips classes and all that shit?
Split the intelligence into two and work it from here. If he's more logical and rational, make it so, but within reason. Does he study on his own? Play chess to keep himself entertained? Or is he creative and something of an opportunist? Does he see things others don't? Does he find creative ways to beat the shit out of his opponent. Enlighten us, don't overpower us.
I don't want to be such a fucking tool over this matter, but dude, if you're going to go in an RP where there can and will be a fight, you've got to fight fair. No guns to a knife fight and all. It would be so easy for him to beat just about anyone with his current stats, and it gets boring hearing about how cool and tough and strong Nick is. I'd like my character to do some ass kicking too, you know?
Please, please, please bring down those two particular stats. We've had so many people come in and out with the same problem on those two stats and it's so annoying to retcon it once you've started posting. The stats are just there for us to gauge how well he'd fare in a fight. If he was put against Tony, it'd be a fair match, but he'd probably be sent to the hospital if he got put against Chaplin.
TL;DR:
I don't care if he's a dirty fighter and is good in maths, but it is damned near impossible that he's stronger than a Jock and smarter than a Nerd. Fix it, please.
