Determining Omnipotence

[Monarch_Laciel]

How does the wiki determine if something is tier 0/omnipotent or just Tier 1,2,3? From what I've seen, characters like Arceus are the omnipotents in their own universe, yet they are not rated as such here.

We do not use the term Omnipotence within this wiki, and simply being called this is completely insufficient, as many authors call any reasonably powerful being "omnipotent". A certain fiction has to clarify that it fulfills the requirements outlined in our Tiering System page.

"Questionably omnipotent" then, that's used for Azzathoth. Having looked at the Tier page, what does it even mean to be "boundlessly beyond life and death, existence and non-existence". How can we even determine that?

 

[Antvasima]

Well, we can sometimes determine if characters are beyond the concept of all dimensions of space and time, which is 1-A, and if, for example, there is a very extreme hierarchy of such beings, as in the Cthulhu mythos, and all of them are nevertheless just a dream of Azathoth, we can classify "him" as tier 0. It depends on a case-by-case basis.

However, DarkLK and A6colute understand the system much better than I do.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

The general requirement for a character to be considered Tier 0 is for them to be what a 1-A being is to Low-Dimensional beings. A being completely unknowable, transcedental, incomprehensible and godly, and for said character to also be treaten as an "All-Powerful", All-Knowing and All-Pervading Supreme being.

This is by no means proof of Omnipotence, just that the character is absolute within it's fictional series.
