So a while back, many of Doctor Who's top tiers were scaled to a being known as Saraquazel. However, we deleted the page and did away with the scaling because it contradicted major cornerstones of the whole verse and didn't really make any sense. Looking back on it, Saraquazel is completely legitimate; the problem came from the scaling itself being done poorly.
Allow me to explain.
"Consciousness had returned piecemeal, a jumble of confused impressions and garbled sensations that dripped into Saraquazel's waking mind. The first thing that he noticed was an inability to move, but any concerns that this might have caused were immediately overridden by the awareness that he no longer possessed a body. The journey through the emboitement had transformed his natural form ― a comfortable flux of matter and energy that lapped backwards and forwards across all of the twenty-seven dimensions around him ― into a rigid lattice of mental energy served by a paltry eleven. He was capable of a tortured awareness, but was unable to physically influence the world around him."
Saraquazel is a being that comes from the after-universe, which is the reality that exists after the destruction of the current one. Saraquazel's reality has 27 dimensions, whereas the current reality only has 11. When entering the current universe, Saraquazel is compressed into an 11-dimensional entity.
The initial problem was the fact that virtually everyone was scaled to Saraquazel being 27-D due to The Great Intelligence being roughly comparable (though notably weaker), and at one point merging with him. However, this was with the compressed 11-D Saraquazel, not its full 27-D form. Regardless, this still gives us some good ways to scale things.
Who scales to 27-D Saraquazel?
Not many characters, honestly. Saraquazel's true form is by its very nature superior to everything native to the current reality. Obviously, The Glory is superior, but it is already High 1-B.
Most notably, this would affect The Grace, as they occupy a state of "non-existence" which is superior to the rest of the DW multiverse's time and space. This would make them 1-B, as they would be superior to Saraquazel and the other 27-D beings of its reality.
There are some other characters this possibly scales to, though reasons could be made both for and against. This would be The Guardians (we currently have pages for the Black Guardia, White Guardia, The Celestial Toymaker, and The Six-Fold God. Would also apply to Key To Time). I will briefly describe why this could or could not apply to them.
For: The Guardians are repeatedly treated as some of the strongest beings in the verse, and shown to hold incredible power. They are the greatest of the Great Old Ones.
Against: The best feats we have from GOOs on their own would be 11-D. The combined form of the Guardians, the Six-Fold God, is defined as the embodiment of the six dimensions above the normal 5-D multiverse, which means their reach may not stretch into Saraquazl's "after-universe".
Who scales to 11-D Saraquazel?
First off, in the confines of the story, we get confirmation of the Great Intelligence being on this version of Saraquazel's same level of existence. This would make all higher-end Great Old Ones High 1-C. This includes characters such as The Great Intelligence itself, The Carnival Quee, and Fenric. Also adds good further proof to the Menti Celesti and Quantum Archangel.
Thoughts are appreciated.
