New Ability Proposal: Virtual Physiology

While I was looking over the Nonexistent Physiology page and other discussions related to it for other purposes, this kinda hit me. Why don't we have a kind of physiology ability page for characters who can purely exist as data? Or turn themselves into data?

Sure, we have Data Manipulation that somewhat touches upon this, but I think a physiology-based ability for data-based beings would work better to cover it, just as we have existence erasure / void manipulation as separate powers from nonexistent physiology as it stands.
 
Im not entirely sure. Because couldnt you say the same thing for non-existent beings being non-corporeal but more specifically just non-existent?
 
Non-existent has definite value outside of being non-corporeal. Non-corporeal just cannot be naturally interacted with but they still exist, while non-existent cannot be naturally interacted with due to not existing.
 
Yeah, powers like NEP and AE are just Non-corporeality + other powers.

As for the power Virtual Physiology, in someone form is not completely non-corporeal, as it like made of electrons, that is physical. In general, I would oppose physiology based powers, as they are just a bunch of powers mixed together.

Normally you would be right but non-existent is very special in its own sense, incorporeality already covers the entire point of virtual physiology, non-existece goes a step further where the person straight up doesnt exist as illogical as that is. So receiving a page of its own makes sense especially when data manipulation is already a thing.
