Bravo, 13th! Bravo! [claps hands] It seems you've just begun to enter my state of mind on a regular basis then.

All joking aside, I couldn't agree more with what you said about the psychology behind writing characters, as I too sometimes find myself drifting to that more narcissistic side at times. (Hell, I even wrote on Jolly D. Chris' page that his original concept was an author avatar before I changed him up and made him appropriate for SoF.)

Also, thank you for saying the one thing i've been wanting to scream out at the top of my lungs for a while now. This wiki wasn't made to make OP'ed characters, or to gain popularity. It was made for those of us that genuinely enjoy writing fanon. THAT'S THE FREAKING POINT!

And yes, I can't tell you how much i'm dreading the day when some user starts complaining to me, saying that because my character's a Yonkou, or that I was made VA, that that must be the reason i'm "picking on him/her." -_- Because I seem to now be protected by some sort of bubble that was given to me when I received a flipping title, or some other s*** like that.

As for solutions, I rather like the Zero Tolerance idea (despite the fact that it's screwed me over more times than I can count in the past, offline.) But yes, we should make sure everyone understands the true purpose of this wiki, and see to it that this nonsense is taken care of once and for all.

As for a fresh start... You've sort of got me worried here. Because what I imagined was, having to make weak antagonists first, then develop them in their own stories before we set them up against our protagonists. It just seems so long-winded in my opinion (though then again, that was how I envisioned what you had said.)

As for weaker characters first in general, I can get behind that. I mean, we can clearly see that Usopp was intended to be downright pitiful in One Piece, but as Zoro put it, they all grew in strength along their journey, which also included Usopp. So I don't mind starting off small and then getting stronger later on (hell, that's what I did from the get-go with Chris!)

Anyway, that's a general summary of my response to your comment, 13th. Thanks for having my back here.
