Thoughts, comments, suggestions?

I've written a bit of a chapter. I want to be sure that the situation and characters are clear. Can I get some insight?

Update:

Are there any misspellings or grammar mistakes? Also, when all four prologues are done I plan on beginning the actual story where the readers will get to meet the characters in depth.

Update 2:

Each prologue is used to introduce each main character briefly. Would it work better if I turned them each into chapters and then used an actual prologue to introduce the plot?

    You start off with some nice action, so that's good. I'm not crazy about 'for he did' because it seems so formal - or is that the tone you're setting with this? It's hard to imagine this tattoo on the collarbone - plus how could he look at it unless he had a mirror. If he's getting mugged, I don't get why the leader wouldn't just take those things. Asking just seems a little unbelievable.

    Three prologues seem a bit like overkill. Why can't each character just have a chapter introducing them? Anyway, I didn't see any grammar or spelling errors but those are things that jumped out as I was reading. It's good, but I think you could expland the prologues into chapters and it would be even better. Good luck!

    It's not bad... I like the way you write and I'm not noticing any mistakes such as spelling offhand. So that's good. However, it seems... choppy? Like it's very quick and I'm unsure of what's going on. It all happens so fast. The characters need a bit more explanation about them. There needs to be a bit more detail as well. I still feel that I'm not connected to the scene or very sure what is going on. Other than that, very nice.

    It really is very very good. You´re a good writer, the story is already different than the others, and that´s really good. It almost felt like I was there, but I think you can make it a little bit better: you could write more about his feelings, and more about what is he is seeing. It might make it more real for the reader.

    It's really great. Keep it up!

    Good luck!
