Something that has bothered me for a while is files for some abstract forces such as the Anti-Life Equation, Speed Force, and (some of) the emotional entities, and possibly the Source too, has been given character/weapon files, but in my opinion, it doesn't fit them, at least not entirely. So, I was thinking, maybe creating ca new format for them would be better.

For example, they don't need speed, lifting strength section, stamina, gender, age, or even intelligence sections. Hell, when you think about it, even the AP and durability section is inapplicable to some of them. To some, just the range will cover it. I mean it is just energy and on its own, it's kind of worthless sometimes. But of course, it's a case-by-case situation.

So, I was thinking maybe we can do something similar to location profiles and leave out the tiers, just list some abilities and what it can do, it's limits and weaknesses, and of course, how much range it has.


If not, then I think adding a small section in the Standard Format for Character Profile/Standard Format for Weapon Profiles to explain what needs to be done when making a file for something like this would be great. For example, should most of these statistics be just "inapplicable"?
 
As long as it is a sentient being, our standard format for character profile pages format should be fine to use. If any of the sections do not apply, such as striking strength due to being pure energy, we can simply write "Inapplicable" or somesuch for that particular statistic.
