High godly question

1,193

If a character is just an intangible mass of emotion and memory, they would have AE type 1. And if they can regenerate after being destroyed, it would be high godly regen because its a type 1 AE regenerating their abstract body. But if a regular character regenerates from their body, mind and soul being erased, they would only have mid-godly regeneration.

Isn't this weird? It feels like a loophole that can be used to give characters higher regen simply because they don't have a body
 
It's just because we have a chain of what we consider most fundamental; Body<Mind=<Soul<(Idea, Information, Concept, etc).

If you're an existence that already exists on a more fundamental level than Mind, Body & Soul, then of course your regeneration would be on a higher, more fundamental level as well.
Someone who has AE type 1 for being made of pure emotion is not more fundamental than a soul and mind though. Its literally the same thing except there's no physical body. If a character like this gained a body and regenned both the physical and mental body it would only be mid godly for some reason

The emotions people feel are not conceptual, they're a mental reactions. However, a being formed from emotion is not tied to a brain or mind, they are quite literally a concept. If the verse says the Mind or Soul are more fundamental than concepts, then sure, you can get High-Godly from them, if not, then we default such conceptual beings as being more fundamental.

It's just a matter of wiki standards, but like I said, those standards can be overturned if the verse treats the Mind or Soul differently.

You can get high godly even if its tied to a mind if you exist as just a mind. My question isn't about if someone is more fundamental, I'm talking about their regen being better simply because they don't have a body
 
Why not? A mind is something abstract
I'm starting to see the issue, this is because the Regeneration explanation is outdated. But if you regenerate ONLY your soul, you get Low-Godly, if you regenerate ONLY your mind, you get low-godly, same for ONLY the body.

If you regenerate all three, you get Mid-Godly, and if you regenerate from something more fundamental than that, you get High-Godly.
