Hello there, young fledgling. Welcome to the Power Tier guide! Now if you aren't knew to forum roleplaying then this should be sufficiently relatable. If not, then you have a lot of reading to do. A power tier is a rank given to your character based upon how strong they are. Now that may not mean much of anything, so that's why this guide exists.
W - Weak:
For this level, the person of that tier is considered to be the weakest of them all, however that doesn't mean they are useless. Growing is a part of everything, strength doesn't spawn overnight.
F - Fair:
At this level of your tier, you are as formidable as you are feared. You are the middle grounds between someone who is a king of that tier, and those who are the jesters for the king.
S - Strong:
By now you are the elite of your tier, being able to force your own might upon another with the edge of your blade. Victory shall likely be yours, however everything dies at one time or another.
Should you be placed within the Average tier (AT), and given the level of W (weak), your rank would end up look like this:
Ranking System
The Ranking system is based off of tier's, and each tier has it's own different levels of power, 3 for each tier. Certain races will be able to start with a higher rank than others. Requirements must be met to be given specific rankings, but nobody can start out at anything above . Here is a list of all possible tier's:
- Human Tier, HT:
Human tier is the lowest tier their is. Nobody is likely this weak, except the humans who are oblivious to the spiritual realm, or those who have been stabbed in their Hakusui [Soul Sleep]. This is incredibly weak and has many disadvantages to those who hope to avoid death. Someone of this tier would struggle tremendously with controlling even a small amount of Reiryoku or Reishi.
- Puny Tier, PT:
Puny tier is the second to the weakest tier available. Many of the weak Shinigami fledglings are of this rank, especially in their first years of joining the Gotei 13. Spiritually aware humans are also categorized into this tier. Their spiritual powers are present, however minimal in capabilities. Further refinement would be needed to become adept in their uses of Reiatsu, Reiryoku, or even Reishi. Someone of this tier would find themselves equivalent to a Shinigami without a Shikai.
- Average Tier, AT:
Average tier is the most commonly found level of power around all the realms, exempt the world of the living. Some have even unlocked things such as their Shikai. The use of Reiryoku and Reishi is becoming much more habitual, able to conjure up techniques much more quickly, and consecutively without nearly as much fatigue. Taking out chunks from buildings and causing havoc is now a responsibility for some, however not so much for those who could care less. A Shinigami would be able to become a Vizard at this tier with a fair chance of survival, if they know how to fight, if that's the way you desire to go about becoming a Vizard.
- Strong Tier, ST:
Strong tier resembles most Fuku-Taichou and those similar in strength to them. Their powers have been refined thoroughly, and their use of Reiryoku & Reishi is only rivaled by their superiors, which are likely of Taichou class. Taking out large amounts of weak enemies would be well within this tier's capability, matching Espada 9-7 and a few of the current Gotei 13 Taichou's. Bankai is able to be unlocked at this tier, along with the ability to evolve into a Vasto Lorde. This tier may also have those who have mastered their Fullbring, etc.
- War Tier, WT:
War tier is reserved for those who would be called upon during a battle for devastating results. With the swing of their blade or fist, buildings can be rendered to debris and rubble. Their use of Reiryoku and Reishi is nigh mastered, and their fighting potential is almost at it's cap. These are the titans of the spiritual realm, and their might is not to be questioned. Mastery of your Vizard mask is possible at this tier. Bankai must be mastered to leave this tier. Arrancar must master their Ressurecion to breach to the next tier. Vasto Lorde must master their personal Hollow powers to breach into the next tier.
- Deity Tier, DT:
This is the tier where things get tricky to comprehend. Those of this tier are no longer in need of training, their experience and knowledge rising above that of almost everyone around them. These are the people who have enough power to lead their own army, their own purpose, if they so chose too. Any type of tactic or technique they know is at it's peak, and should you find one, the best option would be to pray for mercy. A Shinigami's Bankai would be mastered by this point, and an Arrancar with Segunda Etapa would be up here among the Quincy who have unlocked and mastered Vollstandig.
- Immortal Tier, IT:
Immortal tier is named the way it is not because they are literally immortal, but they are literally so powerful nobody below them could ever possibly dream of putting them down. This is reserved for Canon characters such as the Soutaichou Yamamoto Genryuusei, Juha Bach, etc. This isn't a tier that you can NPC, nor can you become it with an OC.
Levels
Each tier has three levels to pass through before reaching the new tier. Passing by with each one, a person's powers increase fairly if not largely, by the third rank increase allowing them to pursue a whole new tier of power.
W - Weak:
For this level, the person of that tier is considered to be the weakest of them all, however that doesn't mean they are useless. Growing is a part of everything, strength doesn't spawn overnight.
F - Fair:
At this level of your tier, you are as formidable as you are feared. You are the middle grounds between someone who is a king of that tier, and those who are the jesters for the king.
S - Strong:
By now you are the elite of your tier, being able to force your own might upon another with the edge of your blade. Victory shall likely be yours, however everything dies at one time or another.
Finding your tier
Should you be placed within the Average tier (AT), and given the level of W (weak), your rank would end up look like this:
