Is being able to stand and operate in the void enough for void resistance? (Staff Only)

[ByArrow]

I received permission from @Qawsedf234 to open this thread.

This thread is to decide whether standing and operate in the void counts as resistance to void manipulation.

If the character can stand and operate in the void, does that count as resistance to void manipulation?

@LordGriffin1000 said this is not enough for this resistance

But I do agree that Resistance to Void Manipulation doesn't seem right.

Not sure that would give resistance, Superman having it for that reason would technically mean he shouldn't have it but if that's acceptable then it is what it is.

@Dereck03 said that this does not count as resistance

I doubt very much that being capable of standing in a void is resistance to Void Manip

@ByAsura and @FinePoint accepted this as resistance in this thread.

@DarkDragonMedeus accepted this as resistance in this thread.

As we can see, there is no consensus on whether standing and operating in the void counts as resistance to void manipulation

And that's why some characters get this resistance with this argument and some don't.

Should this count as resistance to void manipulation or not?

I've always had it as only giving resistance if the void shows properties that count as Void Manipulation (erasing beings, converting nonexistence to existence, etc.).

But I'm unsure of what general stance should be taken.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Yeah, I feel like the nature of the void should be elaborated actually.

 

[LordGriffin1000]

I believe that unless the "void" in question shows the properties of void manipulation, a character surviving in a void shouldn't be granted resistance to it. I didn't give the characters from camp lake bottom resistance to void manipulation because of this.

However, if just surviving in a void like area is considered resistance by majority of staff/knowledgeable members then I won't argue against it.

 

[DontTalkDT]

ToAru's MGs operate in a void, a nonexistent place, lacking the concepts of distance and time. I decided against giving them resistance of some sort.
So yeah, I would say the answer is no.

 

[Elizhaa]

Unless the void has some form of existence erasure, I also disagree with the resistance.

 

[Antvasima]

I agree with DontTalk, Elizhaa, and Planck69 here.

 

[IdiosyncraticLawyer]

I agree with DontTalk, Elizhaa, and Planck69 here.

This was rejected pretty unanimously, so should we close it?

 

[Antvasima]

That seems fine, yes. I will close this thread then.
