You know what really grinds my gears? These OCs, I mean I get it. You want your character to win so I guess it's okay to give them some crazy feat the makes them capable of fighting Goku or something like that. What I'm thinking here is that we really need to tone down on these characters or maybe limit the amount of characters with this?

For me these kinds of characters give me a problem due to there somehow being some kind of speed, strength, durability, etc. that your character needs in order to not be frowned upon. For example, lets say I create a character that has this attack that can destroy a multiverse; however this character is also extremely slow so... Lets say athlete at least. When the character is posted with that people then nag about how slow they are and tell you to change their speed. Due to all of these extremely fast Universal+ OCs people just have this standard as to how powerful an OC has to be.

Another problem I am kind of having is putting omnipotent OCs on the wiki. This can be a forum post on it's own but I'll state it here too. The more of these characters that are on this wiki, the more outshined balanced characters are. Anyway, classic Hitomi. Hitomi is an OC on here that is most likely omnipotent and as it has been stated before, omnipotents cannot be used in versus debates due to them just being unbeatable. Unless we want her to fight Cosmic Armour Superman, but even then she most likely stomps CAS. Anyway, what is the point of having an omnipotent character that can't be used in any fights? They just take up space and outshine well done characters. Hitomi was well done mind you, like really well done with descriptions. However, being omnipotent just is a no no in my books.

I don't have very much to say at this point. I just think we should tone down the amount of characters with just insane stats and remove omnipotent OCs entirely. I stated what I wanted to state, now I simply wait for people to get mad at me. Mostly saying that I'm removing creativity, when universal+ OCs are not creative. They're just over-powered characters with the same backstories etc. etc.
