Apologies for the late reply, I hadn't even realized that you posted on my wall. Anyways, as for advice? Hmm my advice is to first find the voice of your character. Personality, mannerisms, what drives them. Then figure out what skills they use that compliments that or contrasts with it. When you describe the techniques and abilities, I find its more rewarding and interesting to do so in the voice of your character.

For example Im building an Arrancar, Auryx Bandheer. From the moment you read his opening quote, you get an idea for his type of character. And in every description that personality is seen in how Im writing and how I present the abilities.

This gives a bit more nuance to the character, though it can be harder to do. Because rather than describing the abilities as you the author knows them, you do so from the perspective of your own character. Hmm thats all I have for now, Ill come back with more when I think of anything else.
