@Gemmy

None of those are actually attacks/techniques, though. Just a plain power doesn't really count as no.
 
@Repp that actually isn't as big as I was expecting, or did you miss some powers?.
 
That is a major problem, yes.

Perhaps we should modify the regulation to something like this instead?

"When creating new character profiles it is strongly preferred that you add explanations for the extents and natures of less self-evident and more confusing powers and abilities. Examples include Reality Warping, Conceptual Manipulation or Causality Manipulation. Such powers are likely to be inaccurately interpreted, whether by casual visitors or in versus matches. As such, it is appreciated if you specify the nature and scope of these abilities, preferably in "Notable Attacks/Techniques" sections, near the bottom of the character profiles."
 
With what Rep posted, can't the abilities just be explained in the Notes section, with a collapse/expand option under the category of each power to be explained, so the page isn't so cluttered?
 
We do already have "Notable Attacks/Techniques" sections in plenty of character profiles, although I think that they are named differently depending on the page.
 
Can only Name the abilities in the Powers and Abilities section, and in Notable Attacks/Techniques describe this but Deeply? and not only the "abilities/tecniques", also, his being "if are demon, angel, etc", his tipe of energi/formula, power, how it is activated, you have requirements, works etc.

an examples coul be theses or this?

Iknow it's hard, but is necessary, because some if not alot of profile Lack alot in true deeply information, description, and its hard to know how it works correctly.

Perhaps with time, little by little you can change things for a greater good.

an my final "word", if there are/exist a respect thread, should link to the profile (Character/works in question) An opinion only.
 
Take for example Naruto's page. His notable attacks/techniques section is 5 miles long. I'm proposing breaking that up into multiple expandable sections.

Something like this:

Long list of explanations pertaining to an ability here.


Since they explain his abilities, yet run on for quite long.
 
@Unite

I'm not a fan of that idea. It unnecessarily lengthens the page when we should be keeping the explanations to two sentences or less and expanding upon them in the Attacks/Techniques section.
 
I'm not sure if my explanation came off right so let me rephrase.

I'm saying leave or condense his Powers and Abilities section wherever possible, but in that very section, as an example, he has " Can access the Kyuubi inside him for power ".

And then you scroll down a sea of information in the Notable Attacks/Techniques: category.

I'm suggesting we put the info in that section into expand/collapse categories, so when you go to the section that corresponds with "Can access the Kyuubi inside him for power ", you have the option to expand the tab that contains paragraphs of information.
 
That doesn't actually decrease the length of the page, and still unnecessarily draws out everything.
 
Really? I could've sworn I saw a page with something similar that achieved the same effect. Oh well.
 
question, why the problem of the Length? personal, i don care if is deeply explain about the character in question and more, in some point, its nesesary.
 
It might have been a bad idea to make this into a thread open for everybody outside of the staff. It is important, but keeps veering severely off track. Perhaps somebody could create a new topic in the staff forum, with a summary of the progress so far, and then close this one?
 
@Extreme

The length itself isn't the issue, but the formatting would look terrible.

We don't need to rewrite the mechanics of an ability common to an entire verse on every page.
 
@Repp length isn't the issue then what was the problem with explaining that BB persons profiles Powers and Abilities?.

He just wrote length itself isn't an issue.
 
The length would let to the formatting issue. And some pages like Lucemo, Ogudomo, or plenty of the Saint Seiya and SMT character pages would look like a complete mess.
 
So then their is no real point to this discussion, there is no way past this as there are a ton of characters that have many strong abilities that should be explained but will make it to long.
 
Alright then why don't we do levels of these powers like we do Immortality and Regenerationn?.

Example: what if on the Mind Manipulation page we put (note this is just an example, it could be changed).

Low level can control the mind of a single person at a time

Mid level can control the minds of thousands at a time

High level can control the minds of everyone on an entire planet

God level coan control the minds of everyone in the universe at once

Yes I know there is more to this power then just controlling minds but it's just an example.

Then it would just need to say Mind Manipulation (High Level), I've seen on some characters pages say High Level Reality Warping. We could just write an example of how powerful each level is that way people will know where they stand and all we would half to do is put Mind Manipulation (High level) and when people click the link to mind manipulation they will see what high level is. Their will be no need to write an example on all characters pages just High or Low level.

What do you guys think, good idea?

Another example would be Fire Manipulation

Pyro from Marvel (Fox) would be Low level: Can only manipulate existing flames

Then you have Zuko from Avatar the last air bender Mid level: Can naturally create and manipulate fire

Basically just put Fire Manipulation on a characters page and put (Low or Mid level) next to it and on the Fire manipulation page just write examples of low and mid so people will know.

Obviously we really don't need to do it for fire manipulation but Reality Warping, Soul Manipulation and all that high stuff should.

Or is this gonna make pages to long?.
 
I have one suggestion, it might result in more advanced users having to make profiles, but we can make tabbers for powers and abilities, maybe AP too. Something like The Time Lords Page.
 
@Fan

I feel like that would get too messy, especially since we'd need to repeat abilities between tabs.

I think it would look better and more professional. like

it would be like this

Powers and Abilities:

Ability (Can do this), Ability (Can do this),...

Ability (Can do this), Ability (Can do this),...

Ability (Can do this), Ability (Can do this),...
 
What about my suggestion? About making levels of the powers like are Regenerationn and Immortality pages. It wouldn't make the pages cluttered.
 
@Lord

The problem is that Reality Warping can't really be quantified outside of feats.

We can specify the range and what they can do with it, but there's no real scale with can define it on.
 
Using tabs for characters with lots of abilities and multiple forms is a great idea. I wouldn't make it compulsory though, maybe add it as a suggestion to the info page in order to inform people about the possibility of using tabs for this purpose.
 
But there are different levels of Reality Warping.

One person could just alter the really of a town but another could create an entire universe in their image and created their own lay.

Low level: this level is for Characters who are capable of altering Reality on a small scale, changing the entire color of the planet or something along that line.

High level: This level is for Characters who are capable of altering Reality on a large scale like reshaping the universe in their image and changing it's laws of physics or something on the lines like that.

What's wrong with doing something like this?.

@Repp Sorry that I'm not understanding what your saying.

I know Reality Warping and other higher powers are very wide but at least doing something like this and putting levels of control of said power will give us an understanding and won't clutter the pages because it will just say Reality Warping (Low level) on the characters profile and when they click Reality Warping they can see what level that character would stand at.

To me this seems like the best option rather then writing an example on every power or just ignoring an exampleout right.
 
I think we should say "Type of reality warping over X range"

So like he can bend and warp reality on a galactic scale

He can blend reality with fiction on a planetary scale

He can rewrite all of physics on a multiversal scale

ect
 
@Fan Thats pretty much what I said on my previous comment about Low and High levels of Reality Warping.
 
I agree with Reppuzan and Dragon. I don't like the idea of using Tabs for the Powers and Abilities section, it looks ugly.
 
So listing out a hundred abilities and not being able to differentiate which even is for which key (We don't have the blessings of OBD where we can color code each key), is better than putting it in a tabber and know what each form has quickly and easily without a wall of text? trust me, putting a tiny "|" divider would barely be noticable.
 
@Fan

That is a simple fix. See our Digimon files.

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, [Insert Abilities here] | All previous abilities, [List new abilities here] | All previous base form abilities, [Insert new abilities here]

This is what "|" are for.
 
So is my suggestion good or just as bad as writing examples for every Power and Ability, I just want to put Levels of the powers Like are Regenerationn and Immortality pages so it wouldn't take up space to just say Reality Warping (Low level).
 
Some profiles will not be as small as that. Take the GEOM, there is a divider here, but it is hard to see. You cannot tell the differentiation

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Time Manipulation and Stopping, Empathic Manipulation, Telepathy (At least Galactic in scale), Precognition, Clairvoyance (He constantly receives projections, visions and prophetic dreams from numerous possible futures), Immortality (Type 1 and 3, possibly Type 6), Regenerationn (At least Low-Mid, Likely Mid-Godly due to being a Perpetual. However, this requires him to fully die), Technological Manipulation (Can fix broken machines with the slightest touch), Psychometry, Telekinesis, Matter Manipulation and Transmutation, Shapeshifting, Elemental Manipulation, Energy Manipulation, Reality Warping, Soul Manipulation, Astral Projection, Illusion Creation, Able to manipulate the Warp, Vastly augmented senses and Perception, Aura (The Emperor's light is such that any ordinary human who gazes upon his sight is instantly overwhelmed and left in awe, believing to be in the presence of God), Power Nullification (Most notable with Regenerationn, as he is able to destroy his foes in every sphere of existence. Destroyed Horus' soul to such a degree that even the Chaos Gods, who can cause concepts such as time to not exist or spontaneously exist, could do nothing to restore him), Omnilinguism (He does not so much speak, but rather project his psychic will which is perceived as any language the person he communicates with most knows), likely Time Paradox Immunity (His child self from 8,000 BCE was capable of perceiving an Astral Projection of one of his Custodes sent from the future, and communicated with him displaying all the knowledge and wisdom of his future self from 31,000 CE), Void Manipulation (Able to erase an individual's essence in every sphere of existence on such a level that it was impossible for even the Chaos Gods to prevent) | Immortality (Type 4 and 8), Reality Warping, Causality Manipulation, Spatial Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Telekinesis, Telepathy, Non-Corporeal, Higher Dimensional Manipulation, Acausality, Exists outside the confines of traditional laws of physics, Conceptual Manipulation, Extreme Resistance to an immense array of Reality Warping and other such abilities (Capable of opposing the Chaos Gods within their own domains)

Using my idea, that clutter would not be there, and you would quickly know what the difference is
 
You should probably throw giant text like that in a collapse code (for purposes of this thread, not profiles).
