Thank you Kavpeny and Dragon. I also agree with your points. When Ven told me Cross and Prom have a wiki for building your characters I was impressed. This place can help aspiring creators actually become something if they so choose and come together with other amatuer fanfiction or original writers. Yes it's still a vs wiki, but just like VSBW is about indexing first and vs matches second, thus should be the same for FC/OC. And again, if you want to make absurd characters, we have a sister wiki called Joke Battles (JBW) which uses the same system (mostly).

Obviously you can make as many Tier 1s as you want. But why? You want to make horrendously overpowered characters so no one can beat your verse? That's Lionel Suggs mentality. I couldn't give a damn if my characters can be beaten by anyone else's, that's the engaging part of vs debating. The debates/arguments.

The creators of the Cthulhu Mythos, Demonbane, Dies Irae, I/O, Seinarukana, Super Robot Wars, Golovachev, Soushin Shoujo, etc. do not care about power. The concepts they explore in their series are what boosts them to the highest tier of power and they (most of them) are valued for their stories and/or characters. So that needs to be understood - most (not all) professional high tier verse creators don't care if their characters are the strongest things in fiction. Jin Haganeya said so on Twitter to Antvasima during a little VSBW incident.
