Tiers

## Introduction

The following is a explanation on how the tiering system should work under Sba for fictional verses. Keep in mind none of this is concreate and can possibly later be changed

## The Scale

### **Tier 11: Infinitesimal**

No joule value available. This tier pertains to characters who can create/destroy or affect the whole structure of a lower-dimensional universe, or lower layers/levels of reality. Please note that existing as a drawing or being made of data/information is not to be ranked at this tier, as such beings are still 3-dimensional, but on an incredibly small scale.

This tier is broken into the following sub-tiers:

#### **11-C: Low Hypoverse level**

Characters who demonstrate power equivalent to destroying/creating a 0-D level construct of any size, or three levels of infinity/degrees of reality/fiction transcendence or similar beneath a 3-D reality. This tier also includes characters who are vastly below this level, and all characters beneath this tier’s requirements in any significant way will still be at this tier.

#### **11-B: Hypoverse level**

Characters who demonstrate power equivalent to destroying/creating an existentially inferior 1-D level construct of any size, or two levels of infinity/degrees of reality/fiction transcendence or similar beneath a 3-D reality.

#### **11-A: High Hypoverse level**

Characters who demonstrate power equivalent to destroying/creating existentially inferior 2-D level constructs of any size, or 1 level of infinity/degree of reality/fiction transcendence or similar beneath a 3-D reality.

### **Tier 10: Human**

#### **10-C: Below Average Human level**

Characters capable of exerting force comparable to humans who are below the average norm in terms of strength, such as small children or infirm people, as well as smaller animals such as cats and dogs.

#### **10-B: Human level**

Characters capable of exerting force comparable to that of regular humans, such as teenagers or unathletic adults.

#### **10-A: Athlete level**

Characters capable of exerting force comparable to that of more athletic humans, such as trained fighters or generally physically fit individuals.

### **Tier 9: Superhuman**

#### **9-C: Street level**

Characters who stand at the threshold of human strength and capabilities, represented by Olympic level athletes or rigorously trained martial artists, as well as larger animals.

It is important to note that, despite being named "Street level", this tier has nothing to do with actually affecting an entire street, with the name being more of a reference to street fighters as portrayed in martial arts movies and the like.

#### **9-B: Wall level**

Characters who can destroy or significantly damage extremely resistant materials such as stone, metal or steel, as well as similarly resistant parts of constructions such as structural boulders and walls.

Characters capable of destroying rooms or entire small constructions such as houses or more modest buildings.

### **Tier 8: Urban**

#### **8-C: Building level**

Characters who can destroy medium-sized buildings and constructions, such as large factories or large complexes such as supermarkets.

#### **High 8-C: Large Building level**

#### **8-B: City Block level**

Characters who can destroy urban city blocks or equivalent areas of space.

#### **8-A: Multi-City Block level**

Characters who can destroy multiple urban city blocks or equivalent areas of space.

### **Tier 7: Nuclear**

#### **High 3-A: High Universe level**

(feats that could qualify for this tier are demonstrating infinite power or being able to destroy, create or affect any infinite size or number of 3-dimensional space-times).

### **Tier 2: Multiversal**

#### **2-C: Low Multiverse level**

This tier is broken into the following sub-tiers:

**Low 2-C | Universe level+:** Characters who are capable of significantly affecting, creating and/or destroying an area of space that is qualitatively larger than an infinitely-sized 3-dimensional space. Common fictional examples of spaces representing 4-dimensional constructs that of which inaccesibly stacks onto the pervious dimension. This would include things directly stated to have more than the 3rd dimension. (keep in mind that space-times are 3d as 3 spatial + 1 temporal cannot stack inaccesibly since time is abstract. Such constructs would need to have four spatial, not just have 4 dimensions in general.)

**A)** Equivalent to a large extra dimensional space. That is, a higher-dimensional "bulk" space which embeds lower-dimensional ones (Such as our universe) as subsets of itself, whose dimensions are not microscopic / compactified.

**B)** Portrayed as completely transcending lower-dimensional objects and spaces in the setting of a given work of fiction.

**2-C | Low Multiverse level:** Characters who can significantly affect, create and/or destroy small multiverses which can be comprised of several separate 4th dimensional constructs. ranging anywhere from two to a thousand, or equivalents.

#### **2-B: Multiverse level**

Characters who can significantly affect, create and/or destroy larger multiverses which comprise from 1001 to any higher finite amount of 4th dimensional constructs.

#### **2-A: Multiverse level+**

Characters who are capable of significantly affecting, creating and/or destroying a countably infinite number of 4th dimensional constructs.

### **Tier 1: Extradimensional**

Characters who can significantly affect spaces of qualitatively greater sizes than ordinary universal models and spaces, usually represented in fiction by higher levels or states of existence (Or "levels of infinity", as referred below) which trivialize everything below them into insignificance, normally by perceiving them as akin to fictional constructs or something infinitesimal.

This tier is broken into the following categories:

#### **1-C: Complex Multiverse level**

**Low 1-C | Low Complex Multiverse level:** Characters who can affect, create and/or destroy the entirety of spaces whose size corresponds to one to two higher levels of infinity greater than a standard universal model (**Low 2-C** structures, in plain English.) In terms of "dimensional" scale, this can be equated to 5 and 6-dimensional real coordinate spaces (R ^ 5 to R ^ 6)

**1-C | Complex Multiverse level:** Characters who can universally affect, create and/or destroy spaces whose size corresponds to three to five higher levels of infinity greater than a standard universal model. In terms of "dimensional" scale, this can be equated to 7 and 9-dimensional real coordinate spaces (R ^ 7 to R ^ 9)

**High 1-C | High Complex Multiverse level:** Characters who can universally affect, create and/or destroy spaces whose size corresponds to six to seven higher levels of infinity greater than a standard universal model. In terms of "dimensional" scale, this can be equated to 10 and 11-dimensional real coordinate spaces (R ^ 10 to R ^ 11)

#### **1-B: Hyperverse level**

**1-B | Hyperverse level:** Characters who can universally affect, create and/or destroy spaces whose size corresponds from 8 to any higher finite number of levels of infinity above a standard universal model. In terms of "dimensional" size, this can be equated to 12-dimensional real coordinate spaces and up (R ^ 12 and up)

**High 1-B | High Hyperverse level:** Characters who can universally affect, create and/or destroy structures whose size is equivalent to a countably infinite number of qualitative sizes above a universal model, usually represented in fiction by endless hierarchies of layers of existence, each succeeding one completely trivializing the previous into insignificance, or more generally a space with countably infinite dimensions.

#### **1-A: Outerverse level**

Characters who functionally transcend the rest of the Tiering System, and stand outside of any extensions of infinite hierarchies and sizes, to varying degrees and magnitudes. In more straightforward terms, this category could be said to be occupied by characters whose size and/or level of power cannot be reached by merely stacking bigger infinities on top of each other.

**Low 1-A | Low Outerverse level:** Characters who can universally affect, create and/or destroy structures and expanses of uncountably infinite dimensions, or which have a size roughly analogous to them, such as uncountably infinite sets of hierarchical layers or planes of existence, most specifically ones whose amount of layers is comparable to the set of all real numbers, and are thus equated to the first uncountably infinite cardinal, ℵ1, for simplicity's sake.

Alternatively, this tier can also be assigned to characters who transcend **High 1-B** structures when no further context regarding the nature of such transcendence is given.

**1-A | Outerverse level:** Characters who can significantly affect, create and/or destroy realms or states that fully transcend infinitely-layered hierarchies and/or dimensional levels on a conceptual or existential level, normally being portrayed as entirely external abstractions that lie outside of the applications of spatiotemporal dimensionality as a constant defined by physics on any level, even compared to infinite or uncountably infinite dimensions, usually by perceiving them as akin to fiction or something similarly insignificant.

However, do note that a character can qualify for this rating even if their verse does not have an infinitely-layered or equivalent cosmology, as long as it is either stated, shown or left very obvious that the character in question already bypasses the very nature of such structures altogether, in a way that simply "stacking" more of them logically would not allow one to reach their level of power / size.

Mathematically, **1-A** has its size represented by further uncountably infinite cardinals beyond useful applications of certain measures (ℵ2 and onwards, most specifically) and can be extended unto greater levels of infinity, representing different complexities or qualitative "steps" on an Outerversal scale, in the same way **1-B** and **1-C** are divided. Characters who stand an infinite number of steps above "Baseline" Outerversal realms and structures are to have a **+** modifier in their Attack Potency section (Outerverse level+)

**High 1-A | High Outerverse level:** Characters who can affect and create/destroy states or realms which are completely transcendent over infinitely-layered Outerversal hierarchies and any extensions thereof, as well as the framework in which such entities are defined in the first place. Note that simply adding more "layers" to an already infinite **1-A** hierarchy (or some structure of equivalent size) is not enough to reach this tier, and one must be completely external and unreachable by it in any form.

## **Notes**

**Note 1:**

Due to the fact that the distance between any given number of universes embedded in higher-dimensional / higher-order spaces is currently unknowable, it is impossible to quantify the numerical gap between each one of the subtiers in Tier 2. As such, it is not allowed to upgrade such a character based solely on multipliers. For example, someone twice as strong as a Low 2-C character would still be Low 2-C, and someone infinitely more powerful than a 2-C would not be 2-A.

**Note 2:**

The term "Hyperverse" comes from two words: "hyper," which is used in mathematics to designate higher-dimensional space, and something extreme, above or beyond the usual level. As well as "verse" as a short for "universe". So it is intended as a description of a superior existence beyond conventional reality.

Similarly, "Hypoverse" is derived from "hypo", which is used as a suffix to mean being "under", "lesser than", or "below" something. Furthermore, it is the literary inverse of "hyper", which makes it a fitting complement to the existing terminology.
