Background
Null Existence refers to a state of being studied in the philosophy of Meontology (the philosophical study of non-being). "Nothingness" is a philosophical term for the general state of nonexistence, sometimes reified as a domain or dimension into which things pass when they cease to exist or out of which they may come to exist, e.g., in some cultures God is understood to have created the universe ex nihilo, "out of nothing". The being essentially does not exist on various scales. Beings of this state as explained above do not exist and have a paradoxical guise that allow them to even interact, have sentience, etcetera. These beings are normally unexplainable as they are completely illogical due to lacking any form or trait of an existence.
Types
Type 1 - Physical Nonexistence: Physically null beings don’t physically exist on the material plane. While they can be thought of and remembered and they may even have a visible, physical form, they cannot be harmed by conventional means due to already being null. Do also note their physical form is a mere guise or illusion as they paradoxically can enter existence with these. They'd also always need to be incorporeal to qualify for this type.
- Examples: Glitchtrap (Five Nights at Freddy's)
Type 2 - Material Nonexistence: The lack of any conventional existence. Such a character will exist as something beyond the normal scope of the physical and metaphysical worlds, instead existing as an idea or other unconventional state. Such entities can be conceptualized by individuals, but do not exist in a physical or normal metaphysical form, such as a soul.
- Examples: Crono (Chrono Cross), Coyote (Gunnerkrigg Court), Born (Nihilumbra)
Type 3 - Conceptual Nonexistence: The ability to exist as a completely nonexistent being, being composed entirely of nothingness. These characters are completely immune to conventional harm on their level of nonexistence since they are already “nonexistent”, leaving literally nothing to destroy. In terms of binary, this would be a 0, where existence is 1 and nonexistence is 0.
- Examples: Lavos (Chrono Cross), Chara & W. D. Gaster (Undertale), Giygas (Mother 2)
Type 4 - Ayin: Ain/Ayin (Kabbalah) literally meaning "Not", is beyond nonexistence, being a state of nothingness/oblivion so absolute that it cannot be even commented or described, you can only stay silent on it. The characters that exist within this state of an absolute nonexistent state, being the highest form of nonexistence and completely imperceptible. In terms of binary, this would be having no code, where existence is 1 and nonexistence is 0.
- Examples: Oblivion (Marvel Comics)
Limitations
- As the user no longer exists, they may be unable to interact with reality.
- Affected by Nothingness Manipulation and similar powers.
