Power Proportion

A Power Proportion (asperitas, literally "severity". Known synonyms: opta level, magnitude of strength, and power severity. Abbreviated as POWPRO or simply PP.) is the overall amount of power a person has in order to defeat an adversary. It is divided into 5 phases, each with 5 levels, with sundering lines which bisect the said phases apart, with the addition of a mysterious "Beyond Phase". A power proportion appears to be able to exceed seemingly limitless or utterly incalculable levels, of which the last stage of the sixth phase is the maximum of such unimaginable power. A person having or exceeding the 26th level isn't necessarily a god/ess - if ever a person has even achieved such utterly impossible feat.

According to the Caelestis, there is no such thing as Level Zero for living beings, as each and every individual in Regiversia and beyond always have a specific power proportion. The weakest beings in Regiversia, such as the Infirma, still garner power proportions, although theirs is merely 0.1 pv, which is the smallest amount of proportion in Regiversia. The largest, on the other hand, was that of Megaddon's final form which reached over a nine-hundred eighty quattuordecillion power probability.

Usage
Power proportions are mainly used to get an accurate and precise estimation of how a battle will fare between two opponents of known power proportions. Generally, if one has a higher power level than one's opponent, then xe can defeat the one with the weaker power level.

For example, Dark Blade's normal power proportion is 355,000 pv whilst that of Nightcore Eclipse is 328,000. At first judgement, Dark Blade will most likely defeat Nightcore, but not in all cases. If Nightcore is quick enough to react or unleashes her "Prisma Charge", the odds will presumably fall in her favor. Hence, higher power proportion does not always assure a greater chance of winning triumphant. The factors of speed, strength, durability, abilities, skills, spiritual faith, technique, knowledge and experience can too come into account when deciding the outcome of a fight. Size and height do not always matter.

Worthy to note, when factoring in the edge a fighter has over an opponent, the difference in power proportions as a mere flat number is apparently not important, but comparatively, the relative or percentage difference between the power proportions of the two fighters.

Some diverti naturally cannot reach a certain phase, such as the Forelen whose limit is 641 pv lest one boosts their PP by other means. An individual without enough comprisity will be easily destroyed attempting to gain power proportion levels out of their natural reach.

As aforementioned, power proportion is measured in potentia (pv).

Structure
There are several different stages in power proportion. It is divided into 5 major phases, with each phase having 5 "power stages" and one minor stage in Phase 3. The first dividing line that separates the first power stage from the rest of the stages is called the "threshold of promise". The second line that separates the first phase from the second is called the "growth hotspot". The third line before the third phase is the "unfold", while the last line that divides the third phase from the fourth and final phase is the ultimate "point of intensity". A disputed fifth line that fades from the 28th power stage is called the "point of infinity".

The Phases
Listed below are the 6 phases. The power levels are cataloged along with the amount of PP required in reaching or returning (in the case of go-backers.) to that stage.

First Phase (Inferios Phase)
The Inferios Phase is a category typically for the weak. Individuals or diverti who fall into this phase have developed their power proportion under the acceptable standard for a normal being. Humans and other Earth creatures will also likely fall into this category.

Stage 0 - Accordingly, such a kind of "Level Zero" means that the focus is not a living being at all, as stated by the Caelestis that only nonliving things are capable of being zero on scale. There is no living being with PP below 0.1 pv, with very few exceptions such as the enigmatic, interstellar and supernatural entity, The Shadow. For such entities, Level 0 means invulnerability. It is presumed that a person who attains the Beyond Phase has xir level down to zero, but left with god/ess-like attributes.

Stage 1: 0.1 - 4 pv

Stage 2: 5 - 10 pv

Stage 3: 11 - 23 pv ↤ (Humans fall under this power stage.)

Stage 4: 24 - 45 pv

Stage 5: 46 - 68 pv

Second Phase (Mediocris Phase)
This phase is the standard in PP, as some other humanoid diverti, including Forelen, have such a power proportion of at least at the usual 300 and a maximum of 641 pv. Progress here is very slow.

Stage 6: 69 - 102 pv

Stage 7: 103- 230 pv

Stage 8: 231 - 305 pv

Stage 9: 306 - 679 pv

Stage 10: 680 - 998 pv

Third Phase (Advanced Phase)
Persons here are often referred to as meta mortals, being in-between and serving as an intermediary between the ordinary and the supermortal. Most strong diverti (Be it Navagarian or alien) as well as sub-divert such as Orcen and the Oijoir have power proportions at Stage 16. Some of the heroes (and villains) fall into this phase.

Stage 11: 999 - 1302 pv

Stage 12: 1303 - 1510 pv

Stage 13: 1511 - 2014 pv

Stage 14: 2015 - 10,094 pv

Stage 15: 10,095 - 50,790 pv

Fourth Phase (Supra Phase)
Supermortals, some Metaborn, gifted people, etc. fall into this phase. This phase also houses the tricky "Stage Thirtiefourt", which takes much time to surpass and progress, just like the phase itself.

Stage 16: 50, 791 - 330,999 pv

Stage 17: 331,000 - 932,103 pv ↤ (Most heroes, villains, and other super powered characters fall on this stage.)

Stage 18: 932,104 - 990,999

Stage Thirtiefourt: 991,000 - 999,999 pv  ↤ (A tumbling block, this particular stage is one of the slowest, most difficult and tiring times in a training person's time period, taking people by surprise. However, they are rewarded with much PP if they pass through. Much more training is needed to overcome this stage.)

Stage 19: 1,000,000 - 1,300,520 pv

Stage 20: 1,300,521 - 2,490,000 pv

Fifth Phase (Ultra Phase)
Most galactic beings and Sages fall into this phase, usually on Power Stage 24. Fourth-phased beings fall between "rare" and "uncommon" throughout Regiversia, due to their strength and high power proportion. Half of the Entrilophs fall in this phase. Some of the characters who happen to attain this level undergo a dramatic change in size that some even have to leave their homes to take residence in a wider area or even in outer space. A few mortals made it up here.

Stage 21: 2,491,000 - 3,023,351 pv

Stage 22: 3,023,352 - 6,230,100 pv

Stage 23: 6,230,101 - 10,000,000 pv

Stage 24: 10,000,000 - 39,241,893 pv

Stage 25: 39,241,894 - 90,342,129 pv

Sixth Phase (Incarnate Phase)
Supreme interstellar and supernatural entities fall into this near-unattainable phase. Beings listed in this phase are called "Incarnates" and are all impervious to disease, physical, telephatic, psychic, psionic and mental harm. Some of the Entrilophs find their way in this phase, with most of them falling on Power Stage 28. Stage 30 is the insanely strongest of all the stages.

Stage 26: 90,342,130 - 100,500,325 pv

Stage 27: 100,500,326 - 184,232, 231 pv

Stage 28: 184,232,232 - 509,312,923 pv

Stage 29: 509,312,924 - 24,003,230,422 pv

Stage 30: 24,003,230,423 - 980,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pv

Beyond
"All the benefits of a god, with regrettable sacrifices."

- Dranei in the fictional novel The Regret of A God.

The mysterious "phase" as unreachable as land is to sky. this phase is thought to be the doorway to true ascendance into a god/esslike being, free from all the strains of physical and semi-corporeal persons. Cultural beliefs about this phase vary; some believe that reaching this phase means you are finally one with the Creator, which can be perceived in a different sense as dying, or deliberately destroying the physical body.

One who attains this phase becomes instantly devoid of everything: emotion, pain, worries, depression, limitations, mortal and physical being. Due to this, only a few had dared or desired to achieved this god/desslike state, as being an utter god/dess robs them of the value given to them by the true and pure God/dess. Their power probablity also disappears and resets to nothing; however they are left with the attributes of the Creator.

If having insufficient sanity and willpower, one who attains this stage is likely to become irredeemably insane, as the merging of the physical, energy, celestial power and the revelation of all that had happened in the Omniversal Timeline can purge and push the consciousness and rationality of an individual to oblivion. This is because a being created by the Almighty is meant to be that way, not a god/ess.

No single entity in Regiversia and beyond has ever attained this stage.

Dividing Lines
The dividing lines are not only bisectors of the different phases; they also serve as an indicative milestone to remind the individual that xe is near the next phase. But if the person doesn't do much or stops training, these events will be in vain, and if under the first three stages, the person will be back to the previous phase. If the person happens to be in a stage above the 3rd power stage, xir power proportion will remain the same.

Threshold of promise- The threshold of promise is the first line that separates power stage 1 from the rest. Apparently, the threshold of promise indicates that the person still is considered the most inferior, but has displayed future potential.

Growth hotspot- The growth hotspot is a line that marks the line between the Inferios and the Mediocris. It stipulates that the individual is likely to improve and advance to Phase 2 or even jump to Phase 3 if xe continues to train so, though not in every case.

Unfold- The Unfold is an event that occurs to a person before advancing to Phase 4. It is so called because it marks the individuals beginning to supermortal levels. The Unfold, however, will be nothing and basically a useless event if the individual halts xir progress.

Point of intensity- The point of intensity is a major event that occurs before the person advances to the powerful Phase 5, which signifies the phenomenal ascendance of the person to a higher being. At this point, the person appears unstable, letting out eletctric-like sparks or zips and shaking convulsively. This behavior lasts for a period of two days before the person finally ascends as a galactic-level type being, with radical changes in physical appearance and in strength. This behavior is sometimes dubbed "the point of insanity".

Point of infinity- Disputed for millennia on doubts about its existence, the point of infinity is metaphorically a tiny, black dot in space, unknowable to all things living. Presumably, this is the part where the body undergoes at first an overwhelmingly painful transformation into a sort of god/esslike entity.

Injury
Any kind of major damage to the body contributes to the subtraction of power proportion in the individual which amounts depending on the amount of the damage itself, although mental pain is unaffecting. Emotional pain also subtracts PP, which is why fighters in combat feel truly down when they feel blue after a sorrowful or disappointing event. It is unknown to what maximum extent a person's power proportion can be decreased by injury and harm, but the biggest loss recorded was that of Lord Anathemous in Retribution, when he lost so much power probability from the combined Catastrophe Moves of the Consolidators that the overlord lost his galactic form (estimated to have a total of 85,420,991 pv) and reverted to his usual shape.

Weight
Weight somehow decreases the power proportion of a person, for reasons enigmatic. Obese people have a much lower power proportion, and much less for overweight persons. Heavily-armored characters have, very much contrary to known belief, lower power proportion than light or less armored characters. However, beings who are without density, etc. are still strong despite their sizes, having barely or any weight at all.

Fortunately, weight is known to be a minor subtraction, and thus shouldn't be able to bother focused characters that much.

Natural limits
Each diverti is known to have a certain restraint of how much power proportion they may gain. Characters throughout stories are often seen being lazy or training rigorously. This is because of each of their different power proportion. For instance, Dead Mouth is known as a lazy dementor; on one time, he mentions that he needs to "cut some time off in order to lose excess fat." This also implies that Dead Mouth actually has a large potentia of PP.

Going over the limit will likely get the person killed by being torn to tiny pieces due to their bodies failing to contain all the excess PP.

Sin
Likely appended by the supreme beings to encourage morality among creation, a person's PP will undoubtedly be subtracted when xe commits sin, major or not. The amount of power proportion subtracted also depends on the severity and frequency of the sins. This might also be one of the factors in the weakening of Vordwrath's strength in A World No More, Than A Whisper, although he was still able to fight adequately when he escaped the Battelord, where he was confined.

Age/Time
Most normal persons, meta and super mortals, have their PP slightly decreased each year by 100 pv, and even more in individuals with higher power proportion. An unknown force with unknowable reason, time somehow depletes a person's power proportion. This mysterious and natural depletion cannot be stopped, and can only be averted by making up for lost PP.

Aging. on the other hand, has bigger effects. On the day of xir birthday, a person's PP decreases depending on the PP xe had. On the thousandth birthday of Princess Lumen, her power proportion of 1,054,320 had decreased by half.

A person who manages to maintain the original PP xe had at birth is free from the effects of age and time. Fortunately, the effects of aging and time can be averted as well.

Faith
Like what most cultural traditions and beliefs say, faith in the Almighty increases your chances of success at everything you do, and that is apparently true. In fact, it remains a very big factor in the system of power proportion, which many people, ironically, fail to see most of the time. The only reason why some immoral characters still get very high PP is because of their exploitation, cheating methods, or their constant training that outnumbers their own faith.

Sleeping habit
Sleeping can affect the natural number of potentia gained everyday. Typically, people who sleep 5 hours a day receive 40 pv in contrast to the 70 pv that earlier sleepers get.

Disease/Disorder
Similar to injury, power proportion can be depleted by disease and disorder, and unlike injury, the depletion of disease is constant. Even at rest, a person with flu has xir PP reduced by 9% per minute. The type of disease/disorder plays a large part in destroying PP. Cancer is known to devour 300 pv, while greater disease such as Titanus consume 32,000 of power proportion. Healthier individuals are less likely to lose any of their PP when they are struck with disease.

There was a tale centering on an ogre who contracted blue flu, and on the day of his recovery (which took 90 days) was nearly void of power proportion.
