Tiering System

## Introduction

The following is a comprehensive overview of the hierarchical system which this wiki utilizes in order to properly categorize and index fictional characters and entities based on the scale of their feats, and the varying scopes which they can affect or create/destroy, although it should always be kept in mind that, while Destructive Capacity and Area of Effect are some of the most primary ways to qualify for a certain tier, they are not the only ones. For instance, harming a character with a certain level of Durability also allows another character to qualify for the corresponding tier.

Furthermore, it should be noted that characters from a higher tier are not necessarily invincible to entities of lower tiers, as certain powers and abilities can potentially bypass the difference in strength entirely, allowing the latter to contend with, or overpower such characters.

It is also important to know that the difference between the lowest and highest bounds of a given tier are extremely variable, and can be absolutely massive in scale. Hence, being far stronger than a character that belongs to a certain tier does not necessarily qualify one for a higher rating.

### **Notes:**

**It should be noted that sometimes having overall destructive capacity is not enough to defeat others that harbor "broken" or "hax" abilities.**

**Identically, two characters in the same tier do *not* necessarily need to be equivalent in terms of power. The energy difference between them can range from negligible to absolutely titanic, dependable upon the tier.**

**Furthermore, a higher tier character cannot always beat a character with a lower tier, especially if their power levels are close to each other and/or their foe has ridiculous hax.**

## 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**

#### **Low 7-C: Small Town level**

### **Tier 3: Cosmic**

This tier is broken into the following sub-tiers:

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

Characters capable of creating and/or destroy multiple galaxies when the space between celestial objects is taken into account as well.

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

Characters who can destroy all of the physical matter within an observable universe at full power. More specifically, usually via an explosion, omnidirectional energy blast, or a shockwave, that encompasses all of the stars and planets within a universe.

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

Characters who have an infinite degree of 3-dimensional power. Alternately 4-dimensional power that is shown as completely qualitatively superior to 3-Dimensional beings, but is less than universal in scale. Or that allows them to create large parts of a universal continuum. Take note that 4-D power should logically always be superior to countably infinite 3-D power, so characters within this tier are not necessarily comparable. Also take note that we consider most small scale time-space abilities as hax, not as A.P.

### **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 such sizes are space-time continuums of a universal scale. However, it can be more generally fulfilled by any 4-dimensional space that is either:

**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 destroy and/or create up to 1000 universal space-time continuums.

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

Characters who can create and/or destroy 1001 to any higher finite number of universal 4-dimensional space-time continuums.

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

Characters who are capable of significantly affecting, creating and/or destroying a countably infinite number of space-time continuums.

### **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.

### **Tier 0: Boundless**

**0 | Boundless:** Characters who demonstrate an equivalence to, or can create/destroy/affect, transcendental abstract levels of existence which conceptually stand superior to even **High 1-A** levels. Being “omnipotent” or any similar reasoning is not nearly enough to reach this tier; characters at this level must transcend **High 1-A** characters as **High 1-A** characters would transcend **1-A** ones. This tier has no true endpoint, and can be extended unto any higher level, spiraling infinitely upwards

### **Tier -1: Beyond Boundless**

Beings that are boundlessly above boundlessness. As if omnipotence wasn't already a paradox, these characters will just make your mind hurt. In layman's terms, "Above Omnipotent" would be a good way to describe this.
