Dlclaifsein Article – Power
Power is an expression that represents repeated multiplication of the same factor.
Power is viewed as the authority that can capture domination. Power is one's will that makes imagination and reality indistinguishable. According to the Suggs philosophy, the essence of Power can never be understood or known since Power is beyond both existence and nonexistence, transcending and including continua, causation and dimension, and thus can never be known in the same material sense as one traditionally 'understands' a given concept or object. Power is the root of all roots, the absolute alpha and omega of all things, and the cosmic cycles of meaning.
Power in the Heir to the Stars cosmology explains the material world in terms of active, pointlike forces, with no extension but with action at authority. Power describes that which controls simple elements and groups of elements which have only the essence of forces. Power is the authority over all interactions between elements that takes place without contact, through modes or even harmonics of motion, yielding all phenomena in the Omniverse.
There are several types of Power.
- Narrative Power: Narrative power is that of the author Level, which only the writer characters have, or the writer themselves have. This control over the story/plot/narrative.
- Absolute Power: Nothing can challenge the character with Absolute Power, and the user can literally do anything and everything. All concepts are subject to the user's will and imagination.
- True Power: Logic and causality are irrelevant to the character. All categories of Pataphysics are under the user's whim automatically and retrocausality.
- Virtual Power: The character can do just about anything that's logically or illogically possible.
- Specialized Power: The character is omnipotent within a field or concept.
- Suggs Power: The character is "merely" More You than You Are Yourself, whose power is far beyond any other in the setting.
Power is that which is above and beyond all things who dreams the illusionary reality. Power is the Prime Force, the Outer Void beyond Nothingness from which everything sprang forth, and the ultimate reality beyond Thought, the reality from which all imagination emanated. Power is the projectionist, while reality is the movie. Being part of everything and everyone, Power guides all to itself.
Power is one with all -- Power is everything, everywhere, everywhen, and everyhow, without any exception whatsoever. Power has control over all things imaginable, unimaginable, possible, impossible, existent, nonexistent, known, unknown, thinkable, unthinkable, created, uncreated, discovered, undiscovered, fictional, nonfictional, seen, unseen, written, unwritten, perceived, unperceived, said, unsaid, heard, unheard, read, unread, visible, invisible, stoppable, unstoppable etc. That is, Power transcends everything and Power has control over everything,.
Power encompasses and authors all things undetectable by the physical sense. Power authors science, and goes beyond it to encompass all aspects and dimensions of existence experience as "reality". Power encompasses anything and everything that come from the study of metaphysics: Science, Philosophy, Concept, Reality, that is, absolutely everything.
The Ultimate Reality followed by Omnipotence represents the peak of power, where the outskirts beyond the peak is MetaOmnipotence.
Power Sets
Power sets refer to the unique combination of abilities, skills, and attributes that a character possesses within a Verse. These power sets can range from supernatural abilities such as telekinesis, super strength, or elemental manipulation, to more mundane skills like exceptional intelligence or mastery in combat. Power sets often define the capabilities and limitations of a character, shaping their role within the story and influencing their interactions with other characters and the world around them.
