Profile rewrites. I've tried to keep Champions of the Continent and Octopath Traveler 2 stuff out of them as much as possible because,
1- That's way too much stuff for me to keep track of at the same time.
2- That's way too much stuff for anyone to evaluate at the same time.
So, yes, profiles are still very outdated, but hey, it's a step.
Continuing, P&A changes aside, I like listing statistical changes (or lack thereof) in CRTs, so,
Haven't touched AP, Durability, LS, Speed, etc. beyond making them presentable for the time being.
Stamina: Changed it to Superhuman; see the profiles (or rather a profile) for justification.
Range: Quite self-explanatory changes, really.
Left this on "TBD" because I don't think I have any strong views on this. I'll just lay whatever loose thoughts I have here and hope it goes somewhere.
I think Cyrus, albeit barely, would be fine to list as an Extraordinary Genius.
Now the rest, admittedly, none of them go beyond what is classified as Genius by their feats (except Cyrus), but when you add the second part of their intelligence section, their journey to the mix, I think, they'd be best represented with "At least Genius in and out of combat" or something to that effect.
And these would be my proposals, I guess, if you can even call them that.

First of all, removed all "Doesn't have infinite stamina/ammo/materials" or all their variants. For the rest, I'll just skip the rewrites,
Ophilia
"As a spiritual servant of the gods, Ophilia is a pacifist by nature. She would only resort to combat as a last resort and has been shown to let her guard down against his sister for instance."
This is not necessarily wrong; it's just very headcanon-y. Correct me if I'm wrong, but neither is stated nor shown in-game, both these sentences are just speculations about her character.
Tressa
"She is initially naive with the outside world, but she learns over time."
This becomes irrelevant by the end of her storyline.
Olberic
"Has felt depressed and often struggled to seek a reason for his life."
"Felt depressed once" isn't a weakness. Latter half of the sentence is not entirely wrong but becomes irrelevant by the end of his storyline.
Primrose
"Due to her dark past, Primrose has been shown to be shy or uneasy in large crowds. She can also grow quite sensitive when seeing innocent people being injured"
To be honest, I've no idea what either of these is referencing to. And honestly, they both (especially former) sound kinda out of character for her so bit confused.
Therion
"Can be quite cocky and reckless at times; has a tendency to underestimate his foes such as Heathcote."
I think listing down that he is "noticeably prideful" would be fine, but anything else is honestly a stretch. For instance, in the Heathcote example, I don't think most people would expect some random 80-year-old-looking butler to keep up with them in combat and best them in their profession.
H'aanit
"H'aanit has shown to be rather naive at times."
Don't remember any evident cases of this. Removed it.

Alright, with that outta way, can I please ask for something to be done with the overabundance of profiles? Saying there is a profile for anyone that has more than 2 lines of dialogue is barely an overexaggeration here (I mean, literally, some don't even have that), and all of these profiles are extremely barebones.
I think that all profiles except those of Galdera, Lyblac, and Aelfric should be deleted. Those three are, like, the only ones that matter. The rest can always be remade by people interested in working on them.
And that's all for now.
