Logline: A young soldier is forced to go on the run with the boisterous leader of a guerrilla group striking against The Well - an organisation dedicated to capturing Telekinetics called Movers before they can cause widespread harm.

Hi all, I am looking for feedback on the first 19 pages (coming to the tee end of act 1 as my protagonist is about to be launched into a new world).
1. Does my story have a clear conflict?
2. Is my protagonist likeable or atleast relatable?
3. How can I tidy up my action lines? (Should I be editing these as I go along or should I do this after a complete first draft?
4. How can I ensure I give each character a unique voice without delving into being quite sweary and potty mouthed (I am unsure if I am thinking of this in the right sense?)
5. What advice would you give me to keep in mind for Act 2?
6. I know that at the end of the story I want the main character to be redeemed (in a being less selfish and more of a protector way) but I wondered if I've made him a little too good at the start?
