Tiering System

Introduction

This is the tiering system that underlies our standards to properly categorize fictional characters and entities based on the scale of their feats, and the varying scopes which they can affect or create/destroy.

Our system is based on concepts of mathematics, physics, and metaphysics, and is divided into tiers based on variations of energy, state of being or transcendence.

Moreover, it is necessary to understand that characters of a higher tier are not necessarily invincible entities comparable to the lower tiers, as there are certain abilities that can potentially overcome the difference in strength between the tiers and beat a higher tier. See this page for more information

It is also important to know that the difference between the lowest edge and the highest edge of a tier is extremely variable and can be very massive at scale. Therefore, being very strong that a character that belongs to a certain tier does not necessarily mean that the strongest character ranks to a higher tier.

Furthermore, it must be remembered that while Destructive Capacity is one of the means of qualifying for a certain tier, it is not the only one. For example, harming a character with a certain level of Durability also allows the character to qualify for the tier in question.

Finally, you have to keep in mind that if a character has a certain Dimensionality it does not make it rank or have the capacity to destroy universes, matter, dimensions, or any other physical unit. To exist in something and to be able to destroy something are totally different things. The existence allows the composition, and its power is defined by their energy capacity that can be generated.

Hierarchy

Tier 13: Null

Characters that don't have a destructive ability. No joule value available. This tier pertains to characters who can't create/destroy or affect something.

Tier 12: Flatversal

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:

12-C: Low Flatverse 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.

12-B: Flatverse 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.

12-A: High Flatverse 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 11: Microscopic

characters who can only create/destroy or affect the matter on a microscopic scale.

This tier is broken into the following sub-tiers:

11-B: Microscopic level

Smaller part of the matter Quantum: The quantities of very small, fundamental objects of quantum physics.

Atomic: All power between a electron/neutron/proton and a Molecular structure.

Molecular: All power between a Molecular structure and the cellular level.

11-A: High Microscopic level

Low life beings Microbial: All destructive power between Organelle and Cells.

Multi-cellular: Small living creatures like insects and some animals stay at that level.

Below average: Small animals, like mice, frogs, and some lizards.

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

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.

9-A: Small Building level

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

Characters who can destroy large buildings such as skyscrapers.

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

Characters who can destroy a small town or settlement, or those who can easily harm characters with small town level durability.

7-C: Town level

Characters who can destroy a town, or those who can easily harm characters with town level durability.

Tier 3: Cosmic

This tier is broken into the following sub-tiers:

3-C: Galaxy level

Characters capable of creating and/or destroying a galaxy, when the space between celestial bodies is taken into account, as opposed to merely the matter encompassed by them.

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 capable of creating and/or destroying a universe at least the size of our own, but not infinitely bigger.

High 3-A: Macroverse level

Characters capable of destroying an infinite 3-dimensional volume. This can be either a multiverse composed of infinite universes, or an open universe, with an infinite amount of space, or more generally any realm of comparable size.

Tier 2: Multiverse level

Low 2-C | Universe level+: Characters who are capable of creating and or destroy an area of space that is qualitatively larger than an infinitely-sized 3-dimensional space. These spaces need to be 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.

2-C | Low Multiverse level: Characters who are capable of affecting, creating, and/or destroying small multiverses which can be comprised of several separate space-time continuums ranging anywhere from two to a thousand, or equivalents.

2-B: Multiverse level

Characters who are capable of affecting, creating and/or destroying larger multiverses which comprise from 1001 to any higher finite amount of separate space-time continuums.

2-A: Multiverse level+

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

Tier 1: Extradimensional

Characters who are capable of creating and or destroy greater sizes than ordinary universal models and spaces; many of these ordinary models are known as 4-dimensional spaces. The greater sizes in this tier are represented by non-ordinary hyperspaces or hyper dimensions.

Since the last category, our system is simplified and represented by the sets of infinities and expressed as cardinals numbers. Those numbers are used to denote the exact amount of objects contained within a given set, formally called the set's cardinality, for example, the cardinality of a set of four dimensions is 4 (4D).

This tier is broken into the following categories:

Tier 1-C: Hyperdimensional level

1-C | Hyperdimensional level: Characters who can universally affect, create and/or the entirety of spaces whose size corresponds to one to a thousand higher levels of infinity greater than a standard universal model, this tier can be equated as spaces and/or hierarchies that behaves with 5th to 1000th-dimensional “bulks” that embeds lower-dimensional ones.

High 1-C | High Hyperdimensional level: Characters who can universally affect, create and/or the entirety of spaces whose size corresponds to one to two higher levels of infinity greater than a standard universal model, this tier can be equated as spaces and/or hierarchies that comprise from 1001th-dimensional to any higher infinite amount of higher spaces.

Tier 1-B: Stratisverse level

1-B | Stratisverse level: Characters who can universally affect, create and/or destroy structures that are equivalent to a countably infinite number of dimensions, will be usually represented on our system as the aleph-nought ($\aleph_0$); Being the cardinality of the set of infinite higher dimensions.

High 1-B | Stratisverse level: Characters who can universally affect, create and/or destroy structures that are equivalent to an uncountably infinite number of dimensions, and are thus equated to the first uncountably infinite cardinal, $\aleph_1$

1-A: Transcendent level

1-A | Transcendent level: Characters who transcend the rest of the Tiering System, and have the capacity to affect transcendental states to the tiering system, which encompasses all previous levels. This power and/or size is 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, and thus their existence cannot be reached by merely stacking bigger infinities of dimensions on top of each other.

However, do note that characters can qualify for this tier even if the fictional verse they belong to does not consist of an infinite set of higher dimensions and/or sizes, as long as they themselves bypasses the concepts of space and time in a way that simply "stacking" more dimensions logically would not allow one to reach their level of power/size.

In the same way that Low 1-B is divided through the function of ordinal numbers that represent higher dimensions, the transcendents will be represented by the aleph numbers, with $\alef_2$ being the baseline of 1-A. This works with higher transcendences trivializing the previous aleph number and everything below them into insignificance, normally by perceiving them as akin to fictional objects. In more straightforward terms, this tier could be said to be occupied by characters whose existence is stacking bigger transcendences on top of each other.

1-A+ | Transcendent level+: Characters who stand an infinite number of transcendences above $\alef_2$.

High 1-A | High Transcendent level: Characters whose can affect and create/destroy status which is completely unrivaled over the infinite evolutionary layered transcendences of 1-A. Note that simply stacking bigger transcendences on top of each other is not enough to classify for this tier, and the being must be completely outside the scope of bigger transcendences.

Tier Ω: Omega

Characters who are bigger and beyond any conceivable or inconceivable quantity, either finite or transfinite, where all fictional infinities are just a manifestation of that power. The requirements to reach this tier is to transcend all scales of infinite of the tiering system, and need to possess the so-called “divine perfections”, which are;

• Aseity: The Omega is itself its own cause, i.e. it is uncreated. This premise must be accepted in order to understand all the other perfections.
• Infinity: The first cause must be infinite because its premise is that is the origin of all things, this excludes neither space nor time, and therefore it is everything. Being everything, there can be nothing outside of it or that is not contained within it, and therefore only itself remains.
• Eternity: As already said, the “Causa Sui” or the First Cause, is the origin of all things and thus it cannot itself have a beginning or origin, otherwise we fall into an infinite regression, and with an infinite regression it is not possible to reach this level.
• Perfection: The Omega must be perfect inside the boundaries of fiction because nothing can be lacking. That who exists by itself must necessarily be perfect, having everything in himself.
• Simplicity: God is one, and his being is identical to his attributes just as existence is identical to his being. Two infinities exclude and contradict each other, two perfections have nothing to distinguish one from the other, so the Omega is one.
• Immutability: Being perfect, the one cannot have the need to acquire anything, and therefore he is and contains everything, either in potential or in act. Something foreign to his nature cannot come into existence, because it would be an affront to his perfection.

Note that some of these explanations virtually fit as omnipotence, however, we know that no character is really immutable, as they are figures in a plot bigger than themselves, but considering that the authors create that world ignoring that fiction exists within our world as something we can freely play with, we will take those plot device into consideration as well. However keep in mind that this is not a tier for “literal omnipotence” but rather a virtualization of the concept, and the closest thing within the fictional scenario and its stupidities.

Notes

1. Even if a character got described as much stronger than another, this is not enough to determine that he is in a higher transcendence in this system. Each transcendence grows infinitely within itself, so a character much stronger than $\alef_2$ would still be at $\alef_2$, it is necessary to transcend the level to overcome it, just as $\alef_2$ transcends $\aleph_1$ which is the energy system.
