Our first class 27 threat. About the ceiling of power xD. If anyone wanted to know just how high one can go!

By the way, would anyone be interested in knowing what all the letters and the other little details on the banner mean?

Right now, that depends on whether the last four carries get submitted. We're still waiting on @Spearmint, @winterwolf0100, @JazzElectrobass, and @SilverNight. If any one of those four gives up their space, we'll have an opening for another character!

Okayyy soo to explainnn the bannerss. We have five sectionss to each bannerr!

Center: So that's all pretty self explanatory. We have the name and callsign, if it exists, alongside their current designation as a participant in A.R.C. which if you haven't read it somewhere by now stands for Agent Recruitment Campaign.

Top Left: That of course is just the S.W.O.R.D. logo. It has a small star system which actually represents SWORD Headquarters which is in fact located on an isolated formerly uninhabited star system that they converted. The actual sword is a just a fun detail cause of how the acronym works. And you probably can't read it, but it also says "Since 04 CI"

CI stands for Common Intelligence and is the widely used year measuring system for any planet/organization that has to talk about all of reality because it measures from the start of the birth of intelligence across all dimensions.

Top Right: That is a personalized logo for each of your charries which I may use later for some official documentation and such. Its just the color you chose with the same SWORD and sword. The background is inspired by your charrie's powers.

Bottom Right: That is an indication of where they are at. Central Hub is just the spaceport on the central base which is of course on the first fifth exoplanet of the ten planet Conduit System. The planet is literally called Central Hub as well. So it just means they are inside the spaceport, and awaiting entry into the actual arena which is where they will be when you make your intro posts.

If you look at the first post you can track which post all of you are on and such

Bottom Left: I'm sure this is the one everyone has been waiting for xD

We'll start with the easiest to explain!

Dim

This is simply the dimension your character is from. My writing universe has 72 parallel dimensions. And I just assigned a bunch of them randomly ranging from 1 to 72. (In roman numerals of course to look more mysterious) It was not really based in anything. I didn't want to add that randomly to the CP because it has no real affect to anything and its an extra thing to fill out.

Subclass

There are six broad subclasses in my world namely: Darkness, Light, Cold, Heat, Death and Life. This is based on the six celestial beings aka the creators in some sense.

I just grouped everyone in based on which of these their power would stem from. Not really a lot to explain there. Its as simple as, oh you have fire powers, that's heat. You use shadows, that is darkness. You create stuff, that's life.

Again didn't bother asking people to pick because it doesn't matter and in fact by a random stroke of luck we actually kind of have a pretty even spread too.

Status

This is the agency noting their demeanor. Are they generally not someone who would try to cause a problem and destroy the arena itself or are they someone to watch out for. For a detailed explanation.

Friendly - Pretty chill. Nothing to worry about based on history and demeanor and foreseeable future.

Friendly Concern - Pretty chill. Nothing to worry about in terms of damage to ARC and the arena. Originating home worlds may need some attention from SWORD.

Friendly Threat - Also Chill. Nothing to worry about. May cause harm to themselves or other participants. We don't have that yet.

Neutral - We have absolutely no clue what they might do. Pretty much. Or they just like don't seem to have an interesting either way. Could be either one.

On Watch - Potential danger to ARC and the arena.

On Close Watch - Seriously high potential to almost guaranteed danger to ARC and the arena.

Threat Level

This is a secondary more broad measure of how powerful you are. There are 12 possible power levels and we have a decent spread among them I think.

Inconsequential - Beings so low powered an entire army of them could barely defeat a single ant. There's very few intelligent beings that fit here. This is basically just highly intelligent bacteria.
Low - Low - The lowest powered beings of the universe that are allowed to take part. They could be strong enough to qualify in theory but very rarely. To these beings a human baby would be an avenger's level threat.
Low - Usss. Humans. Our neighbors. That level.
Low - High - You everyday kind of hero would fit here. The Captain Americas and the Black Panthers of the world.

Mild - Low - This is where most of your Supermans. Your Thors and you Hulks tend to go.
Mild - In the middle. Bit more powerful than Superman.
Mid - For beings at exactly 50% on the universal scale. You could theoretically do this but without working with me it'd be really hard to hit this.
Mild - High - Very powerful, just unlikely to blow up a whole dimension.

High - Low - All deities, even the lesser ones go here and superheroes you would consider strong enough to destroy entire parallel dimensions.
High - Most Lesser Celestials, Higher Gods and people from some ridiculously rough neighborhoods. The kind of neighborhood where a common pest like an ant is an avenger's level threat.
High - High - The Celestials and select few individuals like Kate, Vankous or Chud if you've worked with me before and happen to know them.
Incomprehensible - There's only eight of these and they don't really come into reality. They can't. Their mere presence could cause it to unravel and go BOOM. This is also named as such because their power is so high, our human language and imagination can't really describe how powerful they are.

Incomprehensible, High-High, Inconsequential and Low-Low are the characters I would turn down. There's a small catch. You could write an especially low powered High-High or an especially high powered Low - Low but you'd have to work closely with me to monitor that level. At any rate you don't need to really aim for these. This is just for me to help categorize all of you later. And to fit 'em into the lore. Also to sound cool.

Class

So this is just a slightly more complicated to system that does exactly what the previous one does, only into smaller categories. This is largely irrelevant to everyone, but if you want to know how to read it.

The system begins with 1A which would be an inconsequential being and goes up 1B, 1C up to 2A, 2B until the maximum possible which is 27Z.

This is just for me. This is actually supposed to be calculate using three values. Obviously I didn't want to make the cp that complex because that's a whole branch of random calculus I invented to give my writing universe a power scaling system. These are approximates. They take into account physical prowess, magical prowess and a factor known as celestial energy. People at the low end have nothing. If you're really strong in only one, you're low tier or maybe lower mid. If you're strong in two ish you'll go higher. If you're strong on all three you go real high. Exceptions do exist occasionally like but it would have to be torqued really heavily in one aspect, like to the point of being among the most powerful in a certainly category to produce something like that.

So umm I guess if two characters are both ranked as high, you can see who is slightly more powerful by this system. If they have the exact same class even on this, their powers just happen to be practically equal.

No, it's not that you didn't succeed. You accomplished a lot, but, if you want to touch people, don't concentrate so much on rhyme and metre. Think more about what you want to say instead of how you're saying it.
