Razor,
I want you to try blending the techniques into a coherent picture. You can either start from the beginning if you want, or continue the story from here.

The truth is, this is all an exercise, the story is only important to you and the characters. If at the end you want to redo it and make it into a short (or long) story that you can be proud of you have my blessing.
For now just a 2,000 word example of blending the various character building techniques into a smooth flowing form is what I'm looking for.

Best of luck
