Greetings. I am an outsider coming from the SCP Wiki who has happened to get their eyes in this wiki's SCP-2747 page, and single battle against a certain Monarch of Pointland.
I am not in any way extensively informed about this site's system for evaluating strengths, but I have read the relevant pages regarding my input.
"Tier: Varies, 11-C to Low 2-C | Varies, 11-C to 1-B"
"Powers and Abilities: Immortality (Type 5, possibly type 8, is a cluster of signs and iconographies that spontaneously pop up within narratives), Non-Corporeal (Exists as an anti-narrative), Text Manipulation, Plot Manipulation, Void Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation | All previous abilities plus Memory Manipulation, Data Manipulation"
Not sure on how to "quote" here.
Anyways, I believe your interpretation of what a narrative is differs from the one applied to the one presented by the SCP Wiki, which is the one I feel should be applied to SCP-2747.
While the influence of SCP-2747 decreases the farther away your narrative resides from the one currently inhabited by it, it's Tier is always at its highest point whenever it exists in a position to engage in combat. This takes me to the next point: The maximum tier is also higher.
SCP-2747 is at least, at Tier 1-A, and as far as my interpretation of SCP-2747 understands, it is well above Tier 0. Before you laugh at me and ban me for being biased, let me explain myself.
1) SCP-2747 is above the concept of dimensions, as it is a narrativic anomaly: Dimensions exist within a certain narrative, and abide by the narrative's rules. As so, while time and space might differ from dimension to dimension, the narrative stays always the same, including the rules by which those dimensions abide.
2) As such, SCP-2747 is able to erase anything existing within a narrative: Should the conditions be met, elements from the narrative would be erased, including any characters, and regardless of their narrativic manipulation (Or as named in this site, Plot Manipulation).
Regarding SCP-2747's immortality, I would like to explain that SCP-2747 posseses Tier 10 Immortality. Let me first explain why it is not Tier 5 or 8.
"5: Deathless Immortality: Characters who exist unbound by conventional life or death, or do not exist at all, and thus cannot be traditionally killed. Typically, abilities such as Existence Erasure are needed to destroy them."
While SCP-2747 is unbound by life or death, it cannot be killed by destroying existence. Why is this? Because SCP-2747 is (literally) above existence on a narrativic interpretation. It exists outside narratives, and destroys them from the inside, without abiding by that narrative's rules, needing it only to develop the conditions.
"8: Reliant Immortality: The character cannot die as long as a certain being, object, or even concept exists."
While this one is much more accurate, the destruction of the metaphysical elements needed for its manifestation does not "kill" SCP-2747. Imagine it as anti-matter interacting with matter, with the difference that matter needs to first "penetrate" anti-matter to destroy it. If, hypothetically, this penetration is sealed and the matter inside destroyed, anti-matter would survive, but matter would still be able to try again. This works similarly for narratives.
Tier 10 would be a much more accurate fixation for SCP-2747, as it cannot be harmed as long as the attempting subject exists within narrative. For explanation, see Fifthism and SCP-3125.
Finally, a minor nitpick.
"Weaknesses: Plot Manipulation, the narrative which 2747 resides in can be rewritten to remove it, this can be done by ordinary humans."
While this is objectively true, SCP-2747 itself cannot be removed by narrative manipulation, as it exists outside it. Also, these "ordinary humans" would have to be at an explicitely higher narrative, which would qualify them for elimination of any characters from any lower narrative, and make for a pretty queer system that would be a headache to apply.
This might sound like junk to you, but I'm willing to discuss and further explain as far as I know.
