What durability would it take to survive in the Mariana Trench?

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

And also to move from the trench to the rest of the ocean without needing to depressurize. Realized a few characters can do this so I was wondering.

bump

 

[Duviee]

noThing crazy. minimum 8-C's. i think? at most, 8-A

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

Would that upgrade these character's durability?

 

[Antoniofer]

Those values are arbitrary, so can't be use. Really is that we can't convert atmospheric pressure to AP, maybe only Lifting Strength but still no proper equation.

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

But I am talking about durability :/

 

[Antoniofer]

Energy I mean, AP and Durability by equal. Some times it do not even have to do with durability, just that the physiology allow you to survive in elevated pressures places; see the real fish from the deeps in real life, they can survive and yet one can easily kill them.

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

I am talking about leaving and returning without the need to depressurize from the massive amount of pressure.

 

[Antoniofer]

Yes, I'm refering to that, otherwise it wouldn't be a notable feat.

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

So would that just be physiology? Is that a type of power or is it durability? Sorry I am just confused.

 

[Duviee]

What character are u asking for?

 

[Antoniofer]

Its the environment of the character isn't the deeps and it can survive in there with nothing more than sheer strength then its durability, but it can't be converted to energy.

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

So it just a notable feat that isn't be quantifiable?

 

[Antoniofer]

I think it could be (at most) interpreted to be 1070 times stronger than a normal human, so like ~7 times above baseline Wall level.

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

Would that be fine for both Mermaids (Mermaids: The Body Found) and Megalodon (MEG)?

 

[Antoniofer]

I wouldn't give that durability to those beings whose natural environment is in the deeps, they are supposed to be adapted to live in that conditions.

 

[AguilaR101]

the pressure at the bottom is 15,750 psi or 108.5924 Mpa. for reference this is around half the pressure required to bend steel.

 

[KLOL506]

That's 62 MPa from reaching the compressive strength of bone.

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

So...?

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

What is the verdict?

 

[AguilaR101]

There isn't any, the best you can infer that in order to chip away 1cm3 of a character who can resist the pressure at the bottom of the ocean is you need >108 joules of energy using the same logic we use for pulverization values.

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

So that is "At least '''Athelte level'''? Sorry I am easily confused. But going by 108 joules that is in the Atheltic Human AP

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

bump..?

 

[RRTheEndMan]

I'd say that if he doesn't have special underwater phisiology it's Street Level since a peak human would die down there.

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

So it supports its 9-C rating. I will add that to Mermaids profile. Should I close this?

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

So the verdict is...?

 

[KLOL506]

NVM the calc was confirmed wrong, but it'd be Wall level nonetheless. Pressure like that can crush entire submarines.

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

Should I change it to just "9-B" then for the mermaid?

 

[KLOL506]

I have contacted a few calc members. Let's see what they think.

 

[Antoniofer]

As I said, if the normal environment of the character is the depths then durability is kinda irrelevant, character is just adapted to survive in those depths, just like real animals.

 

[KLOL506]

I guess Street level it is.

 

[KLOL506]

But what if they're not adapted and they survive it anyway?

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

I have been told it is Wall level, hence 9-C to 9-B dude to the fact the Mermaids weren't adapted to live down there as well as being able to go from pressures to higher ocean normally without any risk of imploding and vice versa.
