Stats and Skills - Increasing your Stats and Skills

To increase your Stats and Skills, you must prove in character -- through topics -- that your character has somehow increased in power, be it physical power or mental power, in the case of skills. Everything is justified in character and nobody will increase their Stats and Skills by any other means. Below here is a template.

Thread Link(s): Please link us to relevant threads which showcase your character's increase in power.
Reasoning: Please explain why you believe the linked threads are showcasing your character growing in power or deserving to grow in power.
