Well, the modified rule seems to have been accepted by Promestein and Celestial Pegasus in the other thread:

I mean, this kind of principle is what makes stuff like Composite Human possible, which we've removed previously. Even if we exclusively apply this to fictional universes, you have some verses where the power system is technically usable by any living human being (for example, it could theoretically be possible in many Fantasy verses for a single human to have mastery of all magic, despite no human actually achieving it in-verse), which would justify a loophole of making a "Composite Human" which is actually more of a proxy for "Composite character in X-verse".Antvasima said:
- Profiles for entire species may be acceptable, if it can be shown that the species in question would potentially be capable of having any and all of it's potential characteristics at once.
This kind of contradicts with our other rules of canon and plot requirements. We disallow verses that don't have continuity, and this seems to just provide a workaround where "well, the verse doesn't have a linear canon/continuity, but it's fair to slam everything under the same IP together and make up our own continuity".Antvasima said:
- In the event that a character has no linear canon, but rather treats all of the related works as being canon without much context as to the order of events, a profile detailing all of their feats at once may also be acceptable.
Again, why?Kepekley23 said:Myth profiles are perfectly fine.
I don't think Looney Tunes is consistent enough for us to have profiles on them, so I don't see how that's possible.Antvasima said:@Dargoo Faust
I would appreciate if you could write up a draft text based on the one that I posted earlier, which you find acceptable, and that allows us to keep Pokemon- and preferably Looney Tunes-style profiles.
I feel like that clause fixes a lot of the issues with the species rules, too.A human will not have every skill humanity has ever had. A human species profile would be nearly blank and rated 10-B since humans are the basic assumption for all profiles. You seem to be misreading the rule proposed. [B]for [I]entire[/I] species[/B] "if it can be shown that the species in question [B]would potentially be capable of having any and all of it's potential characteristics at once.[/B]" I'm not reading that as 'an average member of that species' said:I still think these conditions should be addressed in the rules, as this does counter profiles like Composite Human and stuff like that.
I think that it would be better if we continue our discussion in the other thread, as there are more staff members participating there, especially if we are supposed to delete all of the Looney Tunes profiles and similar.Dargoo Faust said:I don't think Looney Tunes is consistent enough for us to have profiles on them, so I don't see how that's possible.
Alright, I'll copy+paste the stuff I posted here, there.Antvasima said:I think that it would be better if we continue our discussion in the other thread, as there are more staff members participating there, especially if we are supposed to delete all of the Looney Tunes profiles and similar.
Still waiting on this. I even talked this over with Saik on Discord, and so far I haven't really been presented with much more than trophy descriptions from Smash.Dargoo Faust said:Alright, I'll wait for that. I've talked over the subject before, though, so hopefully there's new stuff to be brought to the table.
Antvasima said:Before making decisions here, we first have to decide how to properly word our new rule in the other thread.
Same deal as Composite Godzilla, which people (including me) seem to already have agreed to delete.Apex PredatorX said:What about King Ghidorah (Composite)?
Why are we assuming them to be canon in the first place?I'm Blue daba dee daba die said:since we don't have any proof that the comics and the show aren't canon.
Hell, we don't know if even some the EPISODES aren't canon
I mean, can you give me a solid sequence of events that occur and logically add up for the original toons, comics, etc?I'm Blue daba dee daba die said:We don't know if they are even non canon, we can't assume they are or they aren't
