Tiering System

## **Introduction**

The following is a Tiering System that is the crux of our community as it's used to scale fictional characters. Our hierarchal Tiering System is based on dimensionality and/or varying levels of existence that attempts to rank characters based on their performance/showing/scaling in their respective universes. This page is made so both new and old readers could easily navigate it and find the necessary information. The system itself draws from a multitude of real-world concepts and theorems to make an all-encompassing system in which many different verses are accounted for despite how drastically different many of them can be in terms of how they treat power.

It should be noted that even though Destructive Capacity and Area of Effect are some of the most primary ways of scaling/ranking characters, they are not the only ones. For example, sufficiently harming a character with a certain level of Durability also allows to achieve tiers.

#### **3-B:** Multi-Galaxy Level

Characters and/or objects who can create/destroy multiple galaxies or those who can easily harm characters with multi-galaxy level durability.

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

This category is separated in two parts:

* **Universe Level**: Characters and/or objects who can create or destroy all celestial bodies within a finite 3-D space *at least equivalent in size to the observable universe* via an omnidirectional explosion that covers the entire space, alternately create or significantly affect a 3-D universe or a pocket dimension of comparable size, which does not involve the destruction and/or creation of space-time.
* **High Universe Level**: Characters and/or objects who demonstrate an infinite amount of energy/power on a 3-D scale, such as creating or destroying infinite mass, or those who can affect an infinite 3-D space.

Other requirements for High Universe Level:

* Characters that have consistently stated/shown to have infinite power by harming and/or doing someone/something respectively that would require such force.
* Characters who can contain and attack with infinite amounts of energy.

### **Tier 2**

#### **2-C: Universe level+**

Characters and/or objects who can significantly affect, create, and/or destroy an area of space qualitatively superior to an infinitely sized 3-dimensional space. Common fictional examples of spaces representing such sizes are space-time continuums (the entire past, present and future of 3-dimensional space) of a universal scale.

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

Characters and/or objects who can create or destroy 2 to any higher finite amount of 4-dimensional space-time continuums of a universal scale.

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

Characters and/or objects who can create and or destroy an infinite amount of 4-dimensional space-time continuums of a universal scale.

### **Tier 1**

#### **Hyperverse level**

**1-B (Hyperverse level):** These are 5-Dimensional to any finite dimensional characters who can create and/or destroy Tier 2 as akin to fictional or be infinitely superior to them. Alternatively, characters who can destroy and/or create space-time structures that contains a timeline as an infinitesimal subset of itself. (This would be 5-D) (Views space-times that contains a timeline as nothing but fiction and are infinitely superior to it) The same logic also applies for 6-Dimensional characters and above.

**Note:** Every Extra Dimensional character's dimensionality should be listed on their profiles in the "Dimensionality" section. And if a character is countless layers above the highest known dimensionality, they will simply at most be +1 layer above that dimensionality.

#### **High Hyperverse level**

**High 1-B:** Infinite-dimensional Hilbert Space characters, and characters that can create/destroy infinite Reality>Fiction hierarchies. This tier includes all possible extensions of Set Theory, those being large, inaccessible or any kind of other cardinality.

**Note:** Every Infinite Dimensional character's dimensionality should be listed on their profiles in the "Dimensionality" section. (∞-Dimensional)

### **Transcended**

#### **Outerverse level**

**1-A:** Characters and/or objects that view infinite dimensional characters and/or objects as nothing but fiction and are completely transcended over them where no amount of stacking of layers in "Infinite Dimensional" tier matters to them. This tier also includes characters that can create all 'possible worlds' as defined by Modal Realism and/or Extended Modal realism as even n-dimensional worlds can/could be made consistent within them.

* Anything that reaches into higher layers or higher R>F transcendences will still be considered **1-A** but just higher into it than baseline.
* Anything that has infinite layers of R>F transcendence over **1-A** will be indicated with **+** within the Attack Potency section. (**Outerverse level+**)

**Note:** For the fictional story/character to get this tier, they must present a strict definition that verbatim refers to the concept of 'possible worlds' and/or 'modal/extended modal realism'. A story/character simply mentioning they can create all possible worlds is not enough.

#### **High Outerverse level**

**High 1-A:** Characters that can create and/or destroy infinitely layered R>F Outerverse level (Outerverse level+) hierarchies as nothing but fiction to them to the point where adding more layers to them will never reach this tier. This tier views **1-A** and the entirety of its framework the same way **1-A** views **High 1-B**. This is also for characters who demonstrate equivalence to, or can create/destroy/affect, existences that transcend/dwarf **1-A** characters and all extensions thereof, be they infinite or above. Thus, characters and structures of this level remain superior to any possible extensions of **1-A**, much like how **1-A** transcends the rest of the system below it.

### **Ascended level**

**Tier 0:** Characters that can create and/or destroy infinitely layered R>F High Outerversal (High Outerverse level+) hierarchies as nothing but fiction to them to the point where adding more layers to them will never reach this tier. This tier views **High 1-A** and the entirety of its framework the same way **High 1-A** views **1-A** and **1-A+**. This is also for characters who demonstrate equivalence to, or can create/destroy/affect, existences that transcend/dwarf **High 1-A** characters and all extensions thereof, be they infinite or above. Thus, characters and structures of this level remain superior to any possible extensions of **High 1-A**, much like how **1-A** transcends the rest of the system below it.

* Additionally, this tier can be viewed as characters, objects and realities that transcend any and all story hierarchies with their sole purpose of being completely above such trivialities.

## Notes

**Note 1:**

Because 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:**

Keep in mind that certain tiers do not necessarily correspond to the destruction of their namesakes in any meaningful fashion. This is because the minimum requirements for these tiers are arbitrary values.

Here is a list of the tiers in question:

* **8-C: Building level** (0.25 tons-2 tons)
* **High 8-C: Large Building level** (2 tons-11 tons)
* **8-B: City Block level** (11 tons-100 tons)
* **8-A: Multi-City Block level** (100 tons-1 kiloton)
* **Low 7-C: Small Town level** (1 kiloton-5.8 kilotons)
* **7-C: Town level** (5.8 kilotons-100 kilotons)
* **High 7-C: Large Town level** (100 kilotons-1 megatons)
* **Low 7-B: Small City level** (1 megatons-6.3 megatons)
* **7-A: Mountain level** (100 megatons-1 gigaton)
* **High 7-A: Large Mountain level** (1 gigaton-4.3 gigatons)
* **High 6-C: Large Island level** (100 gigatons-1 teraton)
* **Low 6-B: Small Country level** (1 teraton-7 teratons)
* **High 6-B: Large Country level** (100 teratons-760 teratons)

Tiers between **9-A** and **3-B**, even those which do correspond with their namesakes, should not be assigned unless there are accepted calculations, multipliers, and/or reliably stated precise Joule values that correspond with those ratings, as many verses can have their own context result in these feats being above or below their namesakes. The exceptions are that the lower borders of **5-B**, **4-C**, **4-B**, **4-A**, **3-C**, and **3-B** can be considered standard calculations for destroying a planet, a star, a solar system, two or more solar systems, a galaxy, and two or more galaxies respectively, and adding those tiers based on those specific feats is allowed.

**Note 3:**

Note that merging universes/realms does not necessarily warrant a Tier 2 rating, unless said universes/realms are provably separate spacetimes.

**Note 4:**

For the term "omnipotence" keep in mind that, despite its controversial and paradoxical nature, the meaning of "limitless power" is by default extremely vague, and the term itself is something that can’t be realistic proved on any conceivable level, thus our Tiering System works through hierarchies, so "omnipotence" or any similar reasoning no matter how complex or developed, can never be used as evidence for High 1-A nor any other tier, if the mentioned reasoning doesn't follow the requirements for the said tier. Also keep in my that, we do not deny the term "omnipotence" itself and are not trying to invalidate the term by exposing it’s contradictory and paradoxical nature, but instead we argue against the usage of "omnipotence" to scale the characters, since the very definition of "omnipotence" contradicts any scale.

**Note 5:**

A common statement seem across fiction refers to "transcending space-time". This statement, due to its wide variety of meanings and usages, has been deemed to not be enough for a character to be considered Tier 1 and/or with Immeasurable speed. While the statement can be used for supporting evidence, by its lonesome, "transcending space-time" doesn't grant any AP or Speed Tier without further context. This also includes the phrase "transcending concept of space-time" or anything similar to it.

**Note 6:**

Tier borders between 9-B and 5-C are arbitrary and not accurately represented by their namesake. For example, destroying a mountain has been calculated in various ways, and only one of these results is even 7-A. As such, it is preferable to have calculations backing feats on these tiers instead of guessing based on their name.

**Note 7:**

While upscaling is allowed on other power scaling communities, here it is not. It doesn't matter how close a character is to the next tier, they will simply be scaled to the value of a feat/calculation they have performed or scale to.
