Source Dragons: What do we do about the Lore?

As recently accepted, we now split the Source Dragon profile into...every single individual 7 Source Dragon. WoG was banned for the verse (except for canonity of official material stuff), and we also had a thread to replace the WoG scans. But now that leads to an new issue: What the hell do we do about the Source Dragons elements, and should we really ignore a huge part of the lore?

Quick history:
All Elemental Powers comes from the Source Dragons. This excludes the elements from Chaos (as they are from Thunderfang, who isn't part of that group), and Darkness due to Overlord being the source/embodiment of evil and Darkness (which Darkness litterally is from). This means that each Source Dragons represent a source to a group certain elemental power

Before I start, this is NOT a propositon to unban WoG
The problem? Since we can't use WoG anymore, we technically cannot use statements like this one which are confirmation of which SD is the source of what elemental power, which kinda means ignoring the lore and dunking on the entire reason why we split them into multiple character profiles to begin with

The solution? Here's essentially what I propose:

1. Every single Elemental Master Ninjas (here, here and here) with the exception of Jay, Sora and Frak (due to not having a Ninja suit like the Ninjas) have the insigna the Source Dragon to which their powers belong from imprinted on their suits. This shouldn't be considered random as Lloyd, who has the symbol of the SD of Life printed on his suit, has been confirmed to belong to the Source of Life by the Dragon himself. This should solve a small bit of the problem, but what about all the other EMs? This is where we go to Point 2

2. Doc Wyatt, the current writer of DR, has revealed a few months that there is an official chart where all of those elements belonging to what Sources, a chart he said is meant for official material (book) too, are listed. Glen, a lead writer for the show, has decided to reveal some of the elements from that chart. He later kept his promise and did multiple posts like this (also confirming that everything from Point 1 was indeed the canon status of the insigna on the suits).

Since we are technically using information from official material that has been revealed by a writer, and not just a random Q&A post, are we allowed to use those specific posts/descriptions for their abilities, OR just ignore that part of the lore and rely on Point 1 only and prayers that the list will be released one day for their profiles?

Use point 1 and 2: @TheOrangeGuy09 @ByArrow @AigerTheKing @JustSomeWeirdo @Vietthai96 (Seemingly agrees with both points but thinks abilities of point 1/2 should be under 1 profile)

Use Point 1 and ignore point 2: @Mr. Bambu

I don't understand why you need to split the profile, is there any reasom for it?

They have different abilities for example:
  • All Source Dragon are embody an different elemental
  • All Source Dragon are source of different elemental powers
  • All Source Dragon has different powers of elements
 
We have race and group profile, such as this and this so i don't see the reason to split the profile, common powers can be listed in one tabber, individual powers can be listed in other separated individual tabbers
Cuz they only have a few abilities in common but different source of power and thus different elements/powers, as well as seperate avatar with other abilities/resistances for some of them which makes them differ a lot. This is the same reason we don't merge all dragons in the verse in a single profile. Ig that at least mean u agree to point 1/2?

The teasers for unreleased content would fall under WoG. That stuff can still change. I'd rather you just wait for said book to come out rather than skirt the rules established for the verse.
 
Why tho?


This is gonna cause even more problems with their profiles
Because we established it as a rule following the past issues with WoG use for this verse.

It seems the OP already has a solution.

What exactly can change? The teasers or something else?
Anything. The project could go belly up. It isn't out (which, for the record, we also have rules against using stuff that is unreleased), literally anything could change. It might not, but you ought to wait.
