Introduction

Higher-Dimensional Existence apply to characters who belong to dimensions greater than three-dimensional beings. In other words, they have bodies of at least four dimensions. The difference between these characters and those from ordinary space-time reality corresponds to the geometric difference between objects with different numbers of dimensions, such as a two-dimensional square and a three-dimensional cube. Characters of higher dimensions are often shown to have their existence encompass completely different laws of physics and logic, which are beyond the control of three-dimensional beings. It should be noted that having higher-dimensional power does not mean the character has a higher-dimensional existence, nor does higher-dimensional movement or Unknown: Undefinable speed, but some of these do mean that such characters can contend with these beings.

Spatial Higher-Dimensional Existence

Spatial Higher-Dimensional Existence is a character existing within a higher spatial dimension then the standard 3-D axis, this is the more common of the two. Existing within a higher spatial dimension gives the character another axis to move in allowing them a multitude of new abilities, such as:

  • Cosmic Awareness: Just as we can observe the "internal" structure of two-dimensional objects, beings from higher dimensions can look at three-dimensional objects in a similar fashion.
  • Intangibility: Spatial; A higher dimensional being exists on a different axis and thus would be untouchable by lower dimensional beings as they are on an axis the lower dimensional being cannot access.
  • Imperceivable Attacks: As they're attacking from a higher dimension, a standard 3-D being would not be able to notice or acknowledge their attacks.
  • Durability Negation: A higher-dimensional being can bypass any form of shielding or protection on a lower dimensional level as they have specific axis they can interact with that a lower dimensional being does not have access too. For example: a 4th dimensional being could access the fourth dimension to easily attack the insides of a 3 dimensional being.
  • Pseudo-Teleportation: As a higher-dimensional being would be able to "appear" anywhere due to movement from their axis.


Temporal Higher-Dimensional Existence

Temporal-Higher-Dimensional Existence is a character existing within a higher temporal dimension then the standard 1 temporal dimension added upon the 3 spatial dimensions, this is the rarer of the two. Normally for uses that embody the universe itself and the universe has multiple temporal dimensions or for one that exists across time itself. Existing within a higher temporal dimension gives the character, some innate abilities such as:

  • Acausality: Unfixed Causality; Existence outside normal spacetime and thus not bound by traditional temporal-causality induced logic. However, this depends on the cosmology as usually the character is a higher dimensional being in a cosmology with a higher temporal dimension.
  • Intangibility: Temporal; A higher-dimensional being existing in multiple temporal dimensions would be in a different pocket reality of time, allowing them to appear at different points in space-time, along with causing paradoxes.
  • Cosmic Awareness: As one would be able to view reality from multiple different time dimensions.
  • Imperceivable Attacks: As one would be able to attack from a different temporal dimension allowing them to attack from different points in space-time, making one unable to react or perceive the attack before it already hits.
  • Durability Negation: Similar to the imperceivable attack reasoning, as it's any point in space-time, one can essentially paradox the opponent away or be able to teleport an attack directly into their insides.
  • Time Travel: As existing in multiple temporal dimensions would allow one some form of time travel as they'd be able to access multiple points in space-time.
