I'm sure everyone and their grandma has their own idea for what the tiering system should look like. Post yours here if you want to. I'll post mine as well:
Tier 0: Nonexistent
Nonexistent characters
Tier 1: Less than Human
Low 1:
Infinitesimal flake of energy to a single atom. Includes lower-dimensional beings
Mid 1:
Single-celled organisms to insects or even small molluscs
High 1:
Rodents to small animals or children
Tier 2: Average Person
Characters on par with average people
Low 2:
Average person
Mid 2:
Pro MMA fighter to guy with a gun
High 2:
Group of cooperating people or large animal (like an elephant)
Tier 3: Modern Weaponry
Characters on par with modern weaponry developed by people in real life
Low 3:
Explosive weapons to a tank or attack helicopter
Mid 3:
Coordinated air strike by a competent military
High 3:
The Tsar Bomba, or just several nukes
Tier 4: Apocalypse
Characters who would be capable of causing an apocalypse in real life
Low 4:
Strong earthquake or supervolcano eruption (only cataclysmic to a part of the world)
Mid 4:
Chicxulub Impact Event
High 4:
Mass Extinction Event (e.g. snowball earth), or just destroying the earth’s crust
Tier 5: Stellar Devastation
Characters whose attacks can have devastating consequences for an entire star system
Low 5:
Destroy a planet
Mid 5:
Destroy multiple planets, or one large gas giant
High 5:
Attack with the power of a supernova or gamma ray burst
Tier 6: One-Man Galactic Empire
Characters whose attacks are on the scale of interstellar space
Low 6:
Multiple star systems up to arms of a spiral galaxy or regions of an elliptical galaxy
Mid 6:
An entire galaxy
High 6:
Multiple galaxies, up to affecting the Local Group
Tier 7: Universal Threat
Characters who are a threat to the universe at large
Low 7:
Virgo Supercluster up to large swaths of galaxy filaments
Mid 7:
Characters who can generate enough force to annihilate all matter in the observable universe
High 7:
Significantly larger universes, up to even multiverses (as long as the parallel universes are just separated by huge distances in space
Tier 8: Infinite Power
Characters who can output an infinite amount of power
Low 8:
Infinite power output, spatially bounded in some way. For example, infinite only in a 3D (or higher) scope.
Mid 8:
Infinite power, spatially unbounded. In other words, infinite power across infinite spatial dimensions (time not included)
High 8:
Infinite destructive output across an infinite amount of spatial and temporal dimensions
Tier 9: Reality Warpers
Characters in the previous tier had power outputs that can destroy an infinite amount of matter. Characters here can erase the very fabric of existence itself
Low 9:
Erase or edit a spacetime continuum from existence
Mid 9:
Erase or edit all or infinite spacetime continuums from existence
High 9:
Characters who are the personified forms of, or who can modify the fundamental structure governing reality. Things like physical constants, the concept of distance, even things like embodiments of love or entropy.
Tier 10: Math Matters
Characters who transcend reality entirely
Low 10:
This character simply exists outside of all known natural laws of reality; causality likely included. Gods and god-like beings in spiritual/ephemeral realms probably belong here
Mid 10:
Character exists as a set of true logical statements. X ⊆ {Φ(x) : Φ(x)}
High 10:
Existence is equatable to the entirety of Math and/or Logic
Tier 0: (Not) Walking Contradiction
Characters in this tier embody a logical contradiction, and are therefore omnipotent. 0 = 1
Tier 0: Nonexistent
Nonexistent characters
Tier 1: Less than Human
