> DYNAMIC TEMPLATE NOTICE:
> This guide and the associated template are subject to change. Whenever an Admin, Staff Member, or the Community passes a new CRT (Content Revision Thread) Proposal, this template and the definitions within it will be updated to reflect the current binding rules. Always ensure you are using the latest version before submitting a new profile.

Welcome to the PABC Forum Wiki-fandom. If you are reading this, you want to know how to build a character profile that will survive the review process and actually get accepted.

PABC is not like other battleboarding wikis. We do not scale based on "vibes." We do not accept "my character is boundless because I said so," and we do not treat dimensional stacking as an automatic win. We are an evidence-first, logic-driven community.

This guide will walk you through the anatomy of a PABC profile, explain the complex terminology (looking at you, HΩ and System H), and give you a copy-pasteable template to start your draft.

1. The Golden Rule of PABC

Before we get into the code, you need to understand the core philosophy that governs every single profile on this site:

Source is Evidence. The Bridge is the Argument. The Tier is the Conclusion.

You cannot jump from a single scan directly to a Tier. You must:

  1. Quote the Source: Exact chapter, episode, page, or timestamp.
  2. Interpret the Context: What does the text actually mean? Is it literal, metaphorical, or hyperbolic?
  3. State the Bridge Premise: Why does this specific text allow the character to affect the target? (e.g., "Because Character A views the multiverse as a book, they transcend it").
  4. Assign the Narrowest Tier: Do not inflate. If it can be explained by a lower tier, it must be placed in the lower tier.

---

2. The Confusing Terminology: Tier vs. Route vs. 1-S

This is the primary reason new profiles get rejected. People confuse Tiers, HΩ Routes, and Tier 1-S.

| Concept | What it is | Example |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| The Tier (System A / G / H) | The Destination. Where the character sits on the scale. | Tier 1-A, Tier 2-B, Tier 0-B |
| The HΩ Route | The Methodology. How you proved they transcend. | HΩ-IV-B (Narrative R>F), HΩ-II (Cardinals) |
| Tier 1-S | The Special Classification. A tier above 1-A that requires passing a separate, stricter test of absolute framework control. | Tier 1-S |

The Most Common Mistake

> "My character uses HΩ-IV-B, therefore they are Tier 1-S."

This is incorrect.

You can be Tier 1-A using HΩ-IV-B. But to get Tier 1-S, you have to prove absolute and total control over the entire cosmological framework, not just that you view a lower layer as fiction. If you retain your ego, or are bound by a higher rule (like "The Plan"), your 1-S application is Rejected.

3. Understanding the Systems

PABC uses a modular system approach. You do not always need all of them, but you need to know what they do so you can use them correctly.

4. The Lorem Ipsum Profile Template

Here is the standard skeleton for a PABC profile. Copy this into your Source Editor, replace the bracketed text, and fill out the evidence. Do not leave any bracketed text in the final version.

```markdown
[[File:INSERTIMAGELINK_HERE|thumb|400px|Caption for the image.]]

{{Quote|
"Insert an in-character quote here that encapsulates their personality."
— '''Character Name'''
}}

== Summary ==

'''Character Name''' is a [brief description of their role in the story]. Under the strict '''PABC Forum''' framework, they are classified as a '''[Insert Tier]''' entity. [Explain why their tier is capped here, e.g., "Despite their immense hax, they do not qualify for Tier 1-A because they are bound by the dimensional hierarchy."]

---

== Key 1: [Name of Form, e.g., Base Form] ==

''This key represents [describe the state/version of the character].''

'''[[PABC Tiering Scale|Tier]]:''' '''[Insert Tier]'''
'''[[PABC Tiering Scale|HΩ Route]]:''' '''[Insert Route or None]'''

'''Name:''' [Character Name]
'''Origin:''' ''[Verse Name]''
'''Gender:''' [Gender]
'''Age:''' [Age]
'''Classification:''' [Titles, species, etc.]

'''[[Attack Potency|Attack Potency]]: [Insert Level]''' ([Insert justification and math/bridge premise here]).
'''[[Speed]]: [Insert Speed]'''
'''[[Lifting Strength]]: [Insert Level]'''
'''[[Durability]]: [Insert Level]'''

'''Weaknesses:'''

== Key 2: [Name of True Form / Awakened Form] ==

''This key represents [describe the state/version].''

'''[[PABC Tiering Scale|Tier]]:''' '''[Insert Tier]'''
'''[[PABC Tiering Scale|HΩ Route]]:''' '''[Insert Route]'''
'''Tier 1-S Status:''' '''Rejected / Accepted'''

''Per the PABC rules, we use Bayesian likelihood ratios to evaluate competing hypotheses.''

'''Evidence (E):''' [Insert the anti-feat or limiting scan here]

\[
P(E \mid H_1) \approx 0
\]
[Explain why the evidence contradicts the high-end claim].

\[
P(E \mid H_2) \approx 1
\]
[Explain why the evidence perfectly aligns with the grounded claim].

'''Likelihood Ratio (Λ):'''
\[
\Lambda(E) = \frac{P(E \mid H1)}{P(E \mid H2)} \approx \frac{0}{1} = 0
\]
[Explain that because the ratio favors H2, the high-end claim is rejected.]

'''1. [Rule 1, e.g., Approach does not equal Identity]'''
\[
\mathrm{Approach}(x, S) \nRightarrow \mathrm{Identity}(x, S)

[Explain why this prevents them from scaling higher].

5. Formatting Rules and Moderation

  1. No Double Asterisks for Bolding if it breaks. Use HTML <b> tags if your markdown parser is acting up (e.g., <b>Text</b>).
  2. Images must be direct links. Do not use Wikipedia thumbnails that expire or redirect. Use Imgur, Postimages, or the direct Wikimedia upload link.
  3. Do not self-approve. When you create a page, it is a Proposal. It must go through a Content Revision Thread (CRT). A moderator or admin will move it to "Accepted" once the math and logic are audited.
  4. LaTeX is a tool, not a shield. Do not use \mathrm{Avatar}(x, S) \nRightarrow \mathrm{Identity}(x, S) just to look smart. Use it because you are mathematically proving that an avatar cannot be scaled to the true form.
  5. No "MW-Pe" without evidence. If you claim a character is a metafictional canvas, you must provide scans showing they are a conscious canvas, not just a piece of paper. Otherwise, they get the MW-Pe (Medium White Page) precedent.

6. How to Get Your Profile Accepted

  1. Draft the Page: Fill out the template above.
  2. Submit to CRT: Post the link to your draft in the #crt-review channel with the tag [Draft].
  3. Defend the Bridge: Moderators will ask you to justify the "Bridge Premise" between your scan and your tier. If you cannot explain it in plain English, the tier will be downgraded.
  4. The 3-Supervisor Rule: If your profile claims Tier 0, it requires a unanimous vote from three independent supervisors to be accepted.

> [!TIP]
> Need Help? If your profile is locked, post your draft in the #crt-review channel with the tag [Draft]. A staff member will point out exactly which Bridge Premise or H-Tag is missing.
