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 statements, we scale these various feats and statements using a variety of methods, the most notable methods being destructive capacity and attack potency, destructive capacity being defined as the area of space someone can effect via there attacks where as attack potency is the energy output equivalent of said attack. it should also be noted that attack potency can also refer to the caliber of character another is capable of harming.

it should also be noted that characters who exist within a higher tier are not invincible when it comes to fighting those in lower tiers as there is a vast array of abilities which exist that can bypass the strength and durability difference between said characters allowing the weaker of the two 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 is 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. and characters within the same tier are not always of a relative strength.

## The Scale

### **Tier 3: Cosmic**

This tier is broken into the following sub-tiers:

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

Characters who can significantly affect, create and/ or destroy a universe at least the size of our own, but not infinitely bigger.

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

Characters who demonstrate an infinite amount of energy on a 3-D scale, or those who can affect an infinite 3-D area or an infinite number of finite or infinite universes when not accounting for any higher dimensions or time, or more generally any realm of comparable size. Large numbers of infinite universes, unless causally closed from one another by a separate spacetime or existence, only count for a higher level of this tier. Being “infinitely” stronger than this level, unless uncountably so, does not qualify for any higher tier.

### Tier 2: Macrocosmic

#### **2-C: Low macrocosmic 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 or hyperspaces (a space composed of more than 3 dimensions). However, it can be more generally fulfilled by any 4-dimensional space that is not microscopic/compactified. feats such as timeline erasure would also qualify a character for this tier. see this page for more information on higher dimensional constructs.

**2-C | Low Multiverse level:** Characters who can create and/or destroy small multiverses which can be comprised of a number of isolated space-time continua ranging anywhere from two to a thousand, or equivalents.

#### 2-B: Multiverse level

Characters who can create and/or destroy larger multiverses which comprise from 1001 to any higher finite amount of isolated space-time continua.

#### 2-A: Multiverse level+

Characters who are capable of affecting, creating and/or destroying a countably infinite number of spatio-temporally isolated universes.

### Tier 1 - Hyperdimensional Threats

Characters who can significantly affect spaces of qualitatively greater sizes than ordinary universal models and spaces, usually represented in fiction by higher planes or levels of existence which trivialize everything below them into insignificance, either by perceiving them as akin to fictional constructs or having a size equivalent to a greater infinity in relation to them.

This tier is broken into the following categories:

#### 1-C: Complex Multiverse level

**Low 1-C | Low Complex Multiverse level:** Characters who can globally affect, create and/or destroy spaces whose size corresponds to one to two higher levels of infinity greater than a standard universal model.

This rating can be reached by 5 and 6-dimensional constructs and spaces when they are either of an infinite (or otherwise non-insignificant) size or portrayed as qualitatively greater than lower-dimensional objects in their setting, or alternatively, one can also qualify for its lower end by creating and/or destroying an uncountably infinite number of universes (as R ^ 4 \* R = R ^ 5), or more generally, showcasing uncountably infinite power/size when compared to 4-D beings or objects.

**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" size, 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" size, 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.

Infinite-dimensional spaces and objects can qualify for this tier iff they are either provably infinite in all of their axes. or can be safely assumed to be so, while characters who only encompass finitely-sized subsets of each axis of infinite-dimensional space are defaulted to **High 3-A**.

#### 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 untop 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.

**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, normally being portrayed as completely external abstractions that lie outside of the applications of spatiotemporal dimensionality as a constant/metric defined by physics even in relation to infinite or uncountably infinite dimensions, usually by perceiving them as akin to fiction or something similarly insignificant.

However, do note that it is possible for a character to 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 transcendent over Outerversal states of being altogether, completely superseding the framework in which entities of such nature are defined in the first place, and by consequence vastly exceeding even infinitely-layered Outerversal Hierarchies and extensions thereof. Mathematically, this tier is represented by entrypoints of the large cardinal hierarchy, most specifically a strongly inaccessible cardinal.

### Tier 0 - Boundless Threats

**0 | Boundless level:** 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. Mathematically, this tier exists outside all extensions of infinity and even meta-extensions already beyond all extensions of infinity, including that of inaccessible cardinals.

It should be noted that this rating additionally has no true endpoint, and can be extended unto any higher level, spiraling infinitely upwards.

## **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:** Keep in mind that certain tiers don't necessarily correspond to the destruction of their namesakes in any meaningful fashion. This is because the minimum requirements for these tiers are either arbitrary values or ones without a source.

These tiers should preferably not be assigned unless there are accepted calculations that coincide with the respective specified thresholds for them.
