With the updated rules, Based on [anything] By now equals Original Material By.  However does this now mean if the credit is "Based on characters created by" is equal to Original Material By?

Unfortunetly the Credited as colum is blank for "Original Characters By" it only has Notes "Used for screenplays based on characters from another work, credit the author of the characters here. For example comic adaptations and sequels."

I agree, the notes give the answer.  To remove any confusion, however, "Based on characters created by" should be added to the unacceptable roles for OMB.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Currently there is a contribution up for voting where the contributor is changing this from Original Characters By to Original Material By.  If I vote NO will I be violating the rules?
