Introduction
In fiction, an inconsistency is when a character has an occurrence usually regarding power that differs from the norm. An inconsistency can work both ways, being either a low showing or a high showing. Inconsistencies should never be accepted as they mess very much with attempting to scale profiles accurately. What separates an inconsistency from an outlier is that this falls more so under whether a feat makes sense into the narrative of a verse. It falls under an all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares scenario, all outliers are inconsistencies, but not all inconsistencies are outliers. You could have a consistent amount of feats but it still be contradicted by the narrative and progression of the verse.
Examples of Inconsistency:
- Link being unable to open a door due to it having "strong iron bars".
- Ring Ring harming or in some cases nearly beating Pucca.
- Characters from Strange Men struggling to get past doors despite weaker characters like David tearing through a wall with his own fist while poisoned, weakened, and carrying a grown person and Sophie taking hits from a dragon who set fire to an entire building in an instant and did a massive shockwave attack on her.
- Pyra being unable to bust through a metal wall when she's capable of sinking 3 continents.
