Honestly, I'm going to try and wrap this convo up.

"But if you change the design you're fine"

Changing the words copied from Wikipedia and using it in an essay is still plagarism. You may personally disagree but it's straight-up copying work someone else did. As I said before; basing characters off of things and actually copying their design and abilities in a significant sense (see: Melanite (darth vader), Black Star Sapphire (kylo ren i think i dont watch star wars), Omphacite Jade (sans), Underground Diamond (toriel) ) to the point of it being obviously, obviously another character is copying.

Based off of =/= blatant design and ability copying.
