I would appreciate if you could write up a draft text based on the one that I posted earlier, which you find acceptable, and that allows us to keep Pokemon- and preferably Looney Tunes-style profiles. |

No, making profiles for species are nothing like composite human. A species profile would be for abilities that all members of the species have, regardless of upbringing. A wolf will have enhanced senses, a bear will be 9-B, etc.</div> |

I'm not reading that as 'an average member of that species', rather 'a profile that has all the characteristics a species can have, as long as any member of that species can have them'. |

I don't think Looney Tunes is consistent enough for us to have profiles on them, so I don't see how that's possible.
I'm fine with drafting a version that's amicable to Pokemon, although even then I have reservations regarding as treating two of the same Pokemon as effective clones with the same powers, feats, and skills no matter how I draft it.

A wolf will have enhanced senses, a bear will be 9-B, etc.There is no set of abilities that 'all' members of a species will have besides possibly DNA sequencing; although even then there's variance in regards to that.
For example, the claim 'all developed, healthy adults can walk' is incorrect, as a number of healthy adults can be born paraplegic, and others can be bodybuilders who work their thighs every day of the week. A perfectly average human doesn't exist.
So obviously we're not making the profiles based on commonalities among all members of a species. To go off the rule, and examples of it being applied (Pokemon, for example), we seem to be using the strongest possible interpretation of a member of that species.
A human will not have every skill humanity has ever had. A human species profile would be nearly blank and rated 10-B since humans are the basic assumption for all profiles.
You seem to be misreading the rule proposed.
for entire species
"if it can be shown that the species in question would potentially be capable of having any and all of it's potential characteristics at once."
I'm not reading that as 'an average member of that species', rather 'a profile that has all the characteristics a species can have, as long as any member of that species can have them'.
