Throughout my time on the wiki, I have seen profiles that have, "Can breathe underwater" and/or "can breathe in space".

And because of the ubiquitousness of the ability in fiction, I thought it might be a good idea to make a Powers and Abilities page for it.

So I made a blog detailing a very rough draft of what it could look like. And Antvasima responded saying I should make a CRT for it, and so I am.

So thoughts on the ability? Is it needed, or did I waste my time?

Agree: 15 (WeeklyBattles, MrKingOfNegativity, Darkanine, TriforcePower1, Genericstickma, Kuroiha, Skalt711, Nedge1000, ZackMoon1234, Setsuna tenma, Wokista, ALRF, Magi Hussie, Andytrenom, Junkoposter)

Disagree: 0

Ambivalent: 0

P.S.

If the page does become a legit page. I really appreciate help in answering the following questions:

  • Does the summary need editing?
  • Are there enough types or too many?
  • Did I define any of the types incorrectly?
  • Did I give the users I put down inaccurate types?
  • Do you have any other users that I can add?
  • Do you have a better picture I can use for the page?
Et cetera, et cetera. The usual questions.
 
Yeah, I was surprised that we didn't have a page like this before. I'm for it.

Page looks good so far.
 
I agree. Though I personally don't think that being able to breah underwater really counts (as you can "breathe" oxygen there), I know that it can't really be anywhere else so I guess the page is mostly good.
 
I agree.

You might want to center the image if its placement is on the top.

Code: 
 [[File:Superman-returns-2006-in-space-brandon-routh-review.jpg|frame|center|Many iterations of Superman and other Kryptonians don't need oxygen to survive. ]]

Not to worry, brother. I can handle large part of some of open profiles singlehandily because I have lots of free time.
 
This'll end up like SPC 2, but i'm still fine with it.
 
Maybe we could create two pages instead, "outer space survival" and "underwater breathing"?

Being able to survive in outer space would be a good example of Superhuman Survivability that I suggest that could also be added to the wiki & "underwater breathing" would be referred as Aquatic Respiration (meaning that you can breathe both air & water at the same time).
 
I think that it is better to use titles that our visitors intuitively mentally connect to when they think of these powers.

Yes, this would be much better.
 
So is somebody willing to write blog drafts for "outer space survival" and "underwater breathing"?
 
@Ant I still have the draft, its just im at school.

I'll put it in a blog in a few tens of minutes
 
Thank you.
 
Personally I think it'd be better to have one page that covers everything. It's the ability to breathe in an environment without oxygen, and Anaerobic Respiration seems like the best name for such an ability.
 
This seems very reasonable, yes. However, I am concerned regarding it's implementation. The sheer number of characters who possess the ability could be...troublesome.
 
Non-Corporeals and Abstracts should preferably have the ability by default, yes, otherwise, this project could very well go on for months.

To be honest, Self-substenance is under Immortality Type 1 too as part of it defintion.

Nah it's different. Self-Substenance means surviving without oxygen/nutrients/sleep

Type 1 immortality is not dying of old age.

And yeah, non-corporeal characters can be assumed to have it by default
 
True, but the time also depends an x-factor, a staff who is proficient with MassEdit that is willing to help. Currently, I am trying to master it.
 
They aren't. Take the Elves from the Lord of The Rings (classic example of type 1 immortality).

They still need to eat, drink, breathe and sleep, otherwise they die
