Randolph Carter

[Funnimane]

Powers and Abilities: None notable, as he is merely a human

Weaknesses: Merely an average human

redundant and unneeded clarifications
I get that he's in the same verse as a bunch of eldritch gods, but this just hurts my eyes

Ability to communicate with animals (Able to easily talk to the Zoogs and the cats of Ulthar), Appears to be able to create incredible mystical objects and structures inadvertently, or at least pull them from a place where not even the gods remembered they dwelled, Able to control when he enters and exits the Dreamlands on such a precise level that even Nyarlathotep was unable to prevent him from waking up

can be changed to minor animal manipulation and dream manipulation with the explanations in parenthesis

Human level, possibly higher (Seemed to be able to control vast hordes of large cats and ghouls)

doesn't really imply higher attack potency, just an ability

Average Human, possibly higher

should add a justification for the "possibly higher", or if it's because of the cats and ghouls thing somehow then the "possibly higher" should be removed

Supergenius, as he was one of the most well-renowned wizards on an incredibly technologically advanced planet

should have more detailed justification than that for supergenius

This is rather confusing. But in simple terms Carter is a point of singularity, and a small deviation from Carter enables the existence of something different in the case of the wizard, this is shown here:

"A slight change of angle could turn the student of today into the child of yesterday; could turn Randolph Carter into that wizard Edmund Carter who fled from Salem to the hills behind Arkham in 1692, or that Pickman Carter who in the year 2169 would use strange means in repelling the Mongol hordes from Australia; could turn a human Carter into one of those earlier entities which had dwelt in primal Hyperborea and worshipped black, plastic Tsathoggua after flying down from Kythanil, the double planet that once revolved around Arcturus; could turn a terrestrial Carter to a remotely ancestral and doubtfully shaped dweller on Kythanil itself, or a still remoter creature of trans-galactic Shonhi, or a four-dimensioned gaseous consciousness in an older space-time continuum, or a vegetable brain of the future on a dark radio-active comet of inconceivable orbit—and so on, in the endless cosmic circle."

Ig this is why they stated him to be as such? I wasn't here for the revisions. Then again they also state he's outerversal due to being an Eternal aspect of the All in One, which is wrong as the Supreme Archetype IS Carter, which is rather asinine to add as it's merely all the infinitesimal pieces of Carter becoming one, but the reasoning for Outerversal is wrong aswell.
