Why is it that Aslan has so few abilities?

I get it that out of the whole series of The Chronicles of Narnia, Aslan shows up very little, but he has got to have more than just ~20 abilities.

Is it just because he is a newer addition to the Vs Battles wiki, or what?

For example, the statements Aslan gives himself. He says, "I am in your world. But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there".

Meaning he is likely omnipresent.

The Chronicles of Narnia echoes biblical text in the way Aslan is presented. For example:

“Is he—quite safe?” I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion,” – Susan

“If there’s anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they’re either braver than most or else just silly.” – Mrs. Beaver.

“Then he isn’t safe?” – Lucy.

“Safe? . . . Who said anything about safe? Of course, he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.” – Mr. Beaver.

Aslan portrays himself as present not just in Narnia but also in the world where Susan and the other kids come from. He says he is just called something different, which, with the way he talks about himself, could be either Goodness, Truth, or Reality itself, or all combined.

Either way, I feel like there are a lot more abilities he has that have yet to be added. I just hate to see a character from many people's childhood done dirty like that.
 
I mean, if you want something to be done about it, you could just do it yourself? A lot of verses exist on the wiki and there's only so many users creating CRTs to revise them. You should check in with the folks in the Narnia General Discussion Thread, but even working on a single character can be difficult, let alone doing verses. Tons of other profiles are in extremely poor states simply because the users are still actively working on them in year-long projects (I believe Digimon has been on the grind for years, as an example).

Essentially, you can get the scans, write up the justifications and make a thread about it. It's not that no one cares about Aslan, it's that this is a community based wiki and there is only so much time people have to work on it. It's entirely possible that everyone agrees Aslan deserves these abilities and more, but no one has the time to do anything about it (though again, I'd ask in the general thread if someone is in the process of revising Aslan so there's no issues)

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I've only recently joined this community, maybe a year or two ago, so I didn't know there were backed-up revisions and that there were a lot of people working there, but off to get stuff edited.

Just remember to create a CRT first. You need to make a Content Revision thread and get it approved by staff members that have evaluation rights. Once approved, you can edit the profile.
 
A lot of Narnia pages have been slow with revision/updates and what not. But there is some planned Tier 0 upgrades.
