Tie ins are fine I believe.Dumb Question, would profiles for games like War In the North or the tie ins for the LOTR films be a viable effort?
Stuff like War in the North also work as they have new characters.

If they have feats of his own and nobody try to scale those to the movies canon I don't see a problemDumb Question, would profiles for games like War In the North or the tie ins for the LOTR films be a viable effort?
Unknown travel speed with Massively FTL+ combat speed and reactions (He could fight Eärendil in the Vingilot. The Vingilot can go through into the cold void of space and return in less than a day
I honestly don't know if there's a way to calculate it precisely. I remember a statement about him traveling into the spaces between the stars, which was taken to mean between solar systemsHow fast is this feat exactly?
Basically yeah.It's certainly MFTL+, but we have no way to quantify by how much
Yoooo that's true. That's only for the spirit forms though, right?Basically yeah.
(We got Immeasurable speed anyhow).
Sounds good! Happy to helpBy the way Natural, I'd like to go through the Ainur powers and resistances for the next revision.
If you find anything out of the way, let me know!
Yeah, but unless your name is Ungoliant or Morgoth (at his weakest) they can toggle it with ease.Yoooo that's true. That's only for the spirit forms though, right?
"Oh I'm in a speed-equalized match? Let me just...vanish into victory"Yeah, but unless your name is Ungoliant or Morgoth (at his weakest) they can toggle it with ease.
Heh, following revisions they're gonna be pretty decently haxed as well."Oh I'm in a speed-equalized match? Let me just...vanish into victory"
Shame the Istari are kinda outliers due to their restricted nature. I'll need to look at their abilities seperate to the general overview. Don't think his wizard form gets much too spectacular. Probably just some decent mental manipulation.Can't wait for Gandalf to solo some verses
Is this really Attack Potency? Looks like RWMelkor was said to be the mightiest of all the Ainur who descended into the world, including the Valar, who are individually capable of greatly affecting and controlling the entirety of Eä
The actual quote says that they have an almost complete "command" over the physical matter of the universe. That line could do with a altering. They used this ability to physically construct much of the universe, with Varda being capable of creating entire new constellations.I have another question:

What if it was just a hax/ability with a universal range?The actual quote says that they have an almost complete "command" over the physical matter of the universe. That line could do with a altering. They used this ability to physically construct much of the universe, with Varda being capable of creating entire new constellations.
“The Valar had a command, great individually, almost complete as a united council, over the physical material of Eä (the material universe).”
Note: Not individual Ainu can completely control the totality of the universe as they all are limited to matter and the respective element/concept over which they are able to "effortlessly" wield (akin to breathing according to the lines). Utilization of other concepts/elements leading to a drain on their power, potentially permanently with overusage.
"The Valar, however, had of course far greater power over their material. Not only had they enormously greater force of will, scope of mind, and subtlety of skill, but they had complete understanding of the erma and of the structure of its variations, since they had themselves (under Eru) designed and brought about these variations, and their combinations. Or rather, among them all such knowledge was to be found; for individually they had possessed from their own creation, and had shown in their assistance in the designing of Eä, different talents, and each of them possessed some skill or knowledge of his or her own."
"The words used to describe this action or emission of “power” were derived (apparently) by analogy from emission of breath, and such physical phenomena as breathing upon frost (which melts). In addition Manwë, who was held to be Lord of Air and Winds, was the most powerful of the Valar in this respect, and the most powerful spirit in Arda."
Note 2: The Material under an Ainu seems to encompass things like "air", lightning, water, discourse, etc
Hence why, even as a council, they do not have complete control as the Valar do not encompass all elements (like evil or discourse).
Note 3: But as they (Valar or Greater Maiar) can utilise their concept with ease on a universal scale, they reach the tier. Ainu like Morgoth can even affect things outside their element, as seen in how his "corruption" is within all of Eä to some degree.
That's one way to take it, but as it is stated that each Vala has a command of the physical material of the entire infinite universe, it's taken as power. It's not really described as hax.What if it was just a hax/ability with a universal range?
Okay.That's one way to take it, but as it is stated that each Vala has a command of the physical material of the entire infinite universe, it's taken as power. It's not really described as hax.
Said power has been used to make constellations by Varda for instance, and presumably made the innumerable stars that dot the infinite universe (it was completely dark when the Ainur first descended).
The latter stuff I mentioned was actually hax, but I more so bringing it up to explain why their command wasn't total, and couldn't be total unless Melkor joined in
Do you have the texts that describe or talk about this feat? It's pretty coolSauron and Morgoth get Fear Manip enough to chase out a soul.

Thanks."For it is recorded in the histories that Morgoth, and Sauron after him, would drive out the fëa by terror, and then feed the body and make it a beast. Or worse: he would daunt the fëa within the body and reduce it to impotence; [11] and then nourish the body foully, so that it became bestial, to the horror and torment of the fëa.)"
Note: fëa refers to soul/spirit
From "The Nature of Middle-Earth: Part Two, XVII Death"
I don't recall any specific passages discussing it, but given that it's an "infinite expanse of time and space" it seems likelyThanks.
Fun question:
Are other planets in the universe inhabited by sentient beings in the Legendarium?
No problem. It even seems to be passive, considering a Sauron with a weaker Fear Manipulation could make even characters like Luthien faint and Huan jump away by just walking forwards.Thanks.
There is mention of other Ainur going to other worlds in versions of the Legendarium. Nothing beyond that.Fun question:

This is the first time I've heard of this theory, it's really cool.A pretty fun LotR and A Song of Ice and Fire uses that premise to have the Seven be Maiar spirits that went to
Tolkien seems to prefer elves to humans lmao"the Quendi did not and do not “live slowly”, moving ponderouslylike tortoises, while Time flickers past them and their sluggish thoughts!Indeed, they move and think swifter than Men, and achieve more than a Man in any given length of time.[fn7] Thus to a Man Elves appear to speak rapidly but clearly(unless they ****** their speech for Men’s sake), to move quickly and featly (unless they are in urgency, or much moved, when the movement of their hands, for example, may become too swift for human eyes to follow closely), and only their thought, perception, and reasoning seem normally beyond human speed." - NOME: Part 1: IV Timescales
oo whats the ficA pretty fun LotR and A Song of Ice and Fire uses that premise to have the Seven be Maiar spirits that went to
More Sauron scalingAlso, it's tragic, but Tom Bombadil (no page, so just for fun) is capped to 7-A Sauron. He'd be the last to fall, but he'd still fall to Sauron if he were to attack him (even without the Ring + before Gandalf the White).
"...the Lord of the Rings would learn of its hiding place and would bend all his power towards it. Could that power be defied by Bombadil alone? I think not. I think that in the end, if all else is conquered, Bombadil will fall, Last as he was First; and then Night will come.’"
This is a dialogue from Glorfindel regarding a hypothetical of what would happen if they gave the Ring to Bombadil for keeping.
oo whats the fic
A popular theory in fandom says that an empire similar to Numenor and Atlantis existed a long time ago (The Great Empire of the Dawn), long before the migration of the First Men, and that some of its inhabitants were the ancestors of certain Houses and Peoples of Westeros (House Dayne and the Stony Dornish, House Hightower, House Tarth, the Ironborn, perhaps House Casterly) and would even be linked to the Valyrians (who are officially Numenoreans and Atlanteans of ASOIAF).https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/land-of-the-king-arnor-in-westeros.853387/

Pretty fun. Premise is what if the Faithful ships landed in Westeros after the Downfall (before even Valyria existed)
Yeah, a "possibly" sounds right. I'll mention that in the individual powers.We could mention that it's implied, for sure
Sounds good!Yeah, a "possibly" sounds right. I'll mention that in the individual powers.
