## Power source

**Energy Source: Internal**

**Magic:** Existential Infestation (The Taken spread similarly to a pathogen, where as one only infects one's biology, the other infests one's existence) Power Granting (When a Taken is made, they are given new abilities that their former life could not possess) Dimensional Travel (The Taken are capable of moving between dimensions) Teleportation (Taken are known to be able to move between dimensions) Unique Physiology (Taken are heavily mutated variations of former material species) [[[Temperature Manipulation|Freezing Manipulation]] (Powerful Taken can summon large freezing blizzards) Resistance (Taken are capable of resisting absolute zero temperatures, heat from the sun, radiation) Self-Sustenance (Taken are capable of surviving in the vacuum of space and other planetary environments) Extrasensory Perception (Taken are capable of means of seeing beyond visual light)

## Conquest stats

**Unknown Tier:** Because the Taken exist in the Ascendant Plane, they occupy a realm of a higher plane of existence, they have however conquered an entire galaxy when under Oryx's control.

## Power stats

**DC: Solar System:** Riven should be around this level of Strength when compared to other Enemy Champions that the Guardians faced. **Large Star**: The strength of major Taken Champions which should scale to other enemy Major Champions which also scale to other Guardian Techniques such as the Nova Bomb. **Island**: The strength of average Taken units which would scale to other Enemy units (*May vary depending on which Units outside the verse are Taken*)

**Durability: Solar System:** Riven managed to taken attacks that the Guardians managed to fight enemies of a similar level of strength. **Large Star**: The durability of major Taken champions should be comparable to other enemy major champions who tanked the Guardian's Nova Bomb. **Island**: The durability of regular Taken Units who should scale to other enemy units (*May vary depending on which Units are taken outside the verse*)

**Speed: Massively FTL +:** Riven should be around this level of speed when compared to other enemy champions that reacted or has attack power similar to each other. **FTL**: The combat/reaction speed of other Taken Major Champions as they should scale to other Enemy Champions. **Superhuman+**: The movement speed of regular Taken Units comparable to other enemy Units.

## Strengths/Pros

Their numbers and their ability to infest and spread the taken makes them a feared enemy in the known universe, describing their powers as "physically illegal". Those who have been taken by the leaders, are returned not just as their mindless minions, but possess all new abilities that compensates for their flaws in their old lives.

## Weaknesses/Flaws

Despite their strengths, they are lacking in free-will (If by choice of their leader), and would make them subjected to their will. If their leaders are killed, they become aimless, decaying forever.
