Bend something hard enough, and it'll break in half.

I find that it's far more creative if you restrict yourself to the rules, but still create something that rivals canon facts itself. This is the mindset that Monty started.

Sure, the creative juices flow better once a few rules are played with. But play with the rules long enough, and you'll eventually explore deeper depths and begin to forget that they exist. I'm sure the admins don't want that risk, so they enforce the rules strictly upon us.

The OC rules are very delicate and subject to change per every new information revealed. That's why the Awaiting Canon Info category exists.

An eagle Faunus with a gravity-based semblance is fairly creative if done properly, but due to the current rules, he cannot exist in Remnant. We have to accept that until bird-based Faunus and more info about Semblance are revealed.
