I think it's good that you are limiting power. If there's one negative to be found in (most) fanons on this site, it's that people overpower their characters, often with no buildup. A few thoughts:
 * In terms of Arcosians, I think you should allow up to Frieza's final transformation, since anything below that would be absurdly weak. Remember, Frieza's final form wasn't even strong enough to fight a weak Super Saiyan 1 (not counting Frieza's absurd power when he returns in the newest movie). I'd say stuff like Cooler's fifth form or additional forms could work like you are doing SS2 and SS3+.
 * Gotenks, Vegito (and Gogeta, if you consider him canon) can all go Super Saiyan 2. Vegito/Gogeta didn't go SS2 because they didn't need to. Gotenks went past it because he needed more power. You can't have SS3 without SS2 after all. I do agree that characters would need to go through a lot of plot and battles before acquiring Super Saiyan 2 (for example, my character Ledas only got SS2 after 69 chapters of his story).
 * Humans are an interesting case. On the one hand, I can see why they are appealing, but also, why should any human be stronger than Tien and Krillin? That's similar to making a Saiyan stronger than Goku (which is something I don't advocate, personally). Humans are normally rather weak and thus aren't as useful in battles as in other aspects of plot. This can also happen with other races. Even Namekians and Arcosians can't compete with Saiyans with high Super Saiyan levels, so I see Saiyans dominating everything else, assuming fanon alien species aren't allowed.
 * I'm assuming this fanon canon of yours is like a specific fanon universe? Like this?
 * Another user already made a Fanon Canon, though it has different rules and a different setup than yours.
 * Also, plenty of stories do adhere to canon (I personally go to great lengths to make sure mine do), as seen in this category.

Also, one more thing, is this supposed to be collaborative, or do people write about one section/time in the canon universe, and then the stories are collected together and seen as all "taking place" in the same universe? -KidVegeta (talk)
