Chronoa stabilizes history with her mere existence.

Background

Stabilization Feats involve having characters, objects, etc. sustain a structure through their existence, life force, connection, abilities, etc. on a varying level. These places are dependent on the people sustaining them, and they will most likely cease to exist or fall into disarray should the character, object, etc. die. As mentioned earlier, there is no set capacity on what degree something can be sustained as it could be from something as minimal as a building to even an entire multiverse in scale.

However, not all sustenance feats are valid. Some of them are very questionable on whether or not they actually fit the idea of scaling to Attack Potency. In order to properly evaluate if a sustenance feat is truly valid for usage on profiles, we have created a compulsory list of criteria needed to meet our standards. Please closely read all of the following requirements below so that you can get an idea of whether or not a certain feat is applicable to our regulations.

Stabilization Feat Rules

  • Requirement 1: The structure that is being sustained needs to be directly explained and specified. This is to better understand the general scale a certain area is being sustained at.
  • Requirement 2: Provide evidence to suggest why this structure is being stabilized by someone's power or energy instead of being from something like a character's abilities, magical properties, an unknown connection, etc. that would be completely independent of a character's statistics. For reference, feats that involve a character sustaining a location through their existence or life force can assist in satisfying this requirement.
  • Requirement 3: Demonstrate how a character's stabilization should scale to the stabilized structure. Characters should preferably have showings that rival or show influence on a scale of comparability to that of the stabilized structure. For example, a character warping the location, corrupting it, or even doing something extreme as utilizing it for offensive attacks can illustrate how they properly scale to it too. Keep in mind that the rate of a collapse may also influence how a character is rated for statistics. Sustenance feats that are immediate collapses, or practically so, will undeniably be at the level of the structure should all requirements be satisfied.
  • Requirement 4: Our last notable requirement is that you demonstrate why this stabilization feat should be consistent with a character's overall statistics. This is just to avoid any potential outliers.

Possible Common Problems

  • The sustenance may be too vague and unexplained to properly count as a feat.
  • Structures may only be tied to characters because of magical properties or a specific link that is independent of the character's statistics.
  • A collapse might potentially be like a domino effect where something/someone that was crucial to the overall support, and that's what may have made it collapse. To give an example, take the idea of a platform supported by four beams. If you break one of the beams, the entire structure can come crumbling down in response.
  • Someone may hold a general structure together, but it could be non-viable in that it demonstrably and logically doesn't scale in strength. To explain this idea, take the idea of a paper clip. Papers clipped together fall apart and cannot stay together without the paper clip. However, the paper clip doesn't necessarily do that with power.
  • Something's existence may not be fully required for a structure to be stabilized.
  • There is nothing to suggest a degree of comparability between the character and the structure.
  • Statistics between a character and the sustenance aren't consistent with each other.

Examples

Viable Examples

Non-Viable Examples

  • Vortigern has shown the capability to collapse a tower upon his death. However, the tower was magical. It increased his strength as more levels were added to it, until Vortigern eventually rivalled the original bearer of the power he gained because of the tower's nature.
  • Data-Riku has shown to be the embodiment of the journal and the Datascape. However, his existence collapsing the Datascape is more along the lines of that altering his code would alter the rest of the Datascape because he had all of the data inside of him. He essentially acted as a lynchpin to keep the data and records of the journal together rather sustaining it via his own power.
  • The Administrator (Tenkuu Shinpan) has shown to sustain an entire realm but can be killed by even a hammer. This seems to suggest that their realm sustenance is more directly tied to their abilities given their title too.
