I was supposed to post this back in Dec. 20, but holiday bullshit got in the way all the way up to the new years and then my internet went over the limit because of PS5 so I couldn't post shit after Jan. 21.
This thread is represented as a bunch of advertisements, similar to how Grand Theft Auto & Cyberpunk 2077 presents itself. You'll see a lot of these ads & news broadcasts in-game.
Anyway it's hilarious, ai art engines know who I am (it knows a lot of the old school e-celebs, mostly just seems to know females though. Prob coz they were rarer back then, & I'm prob the one guy from back then, who actually looks cool and still does.), which is why it's so damn easy for me to generate art that looks like me lol.
Enemy Sprites:
The Nariphon Sacrifice
The Nariphon Sacrifices, these girls will eventually be pixelated into enemy sprites.
Their body parts are what birth out of most of the human enemies like a Facehugger from the Alien movies.
Talamh after the Convergence, as a result of the Nariphon Sacrifice
These sheets were made by some Japanese guy way back in the 2000s.
I wish I could credit him, but the Japanese website that uploaded them no longer exists.
I photoshopped these, except for the Eye. The eye came from some Jrpg, but I don't recall which game.
The Human factions, you fight against every single one except for Prava & Carthay, but that's only because Aina never travels there. These were a mixture of Ai gen & photoshop. They haven't been pixelized yet.
Of course you fight a Cyborg Hitle- oh I'm sorry I mean Heidler as a recurring comic relief boss like FF6's Ultros.
The big purple guy is just an Earthling, which in this setting are Lizard men. (Earth is viewed as a retarded conspiracy theory.)
You fight off Aztlan Cartels & Unified Sovereign Military Men
Left is the Mafia faction (Xed's crew, coz of course the Imperio Italian analogs are going to stereotyped as Mafia.)
Right are Espadia enforcers, who are Elite Soldiers for Heretic Hydra's version of The Vatican.
Aina has to fight off every single faction in the game.
Walt Gibson, he's the other recurring comic relief boss who is the Secretary of Defense for the Unified Sovereigns of Not Amurrica.
The Final Boss Miyabi Kagura, Sentient Artificial Intelligence
This fight is written as a tragic last stand because Miyabi is basically humanity's last hope
against the pure tyranny of Carmilla and the retarded insanity of Aina Bria, but you're playing as Aina Bria lol!
Miyabi is actually the true hero but I prefer stories that focus on the most interesting character, which is Aina. I hate it when the most interesting character is always the villain or the heroine love interest, because the plot becomes too damn predictable when it's the villain pushing the plot forward or if the plot revolves around protecting a heroine love interest. Aina Bria is basically written as a Lovecraft Eldritch but as a cute girl, kinda like how Kirby from the Nintendo games is an Eldritch horror who just happens to be an alien that looks like a marshmallow.
Earth Battalion Commander
In most games, this guy would've obviously been the Final Boss.
He even shows up out of nowhere just like a typical Jrpg final boss but he's just a comic-relief fake out Final Boss character (I don't mind spoiling aspects of the plot because I'm confident in my writing ability to still make it interesting in-game.) because he gets one hit killed by the owner of Shining Media, Carmilla Xiomara who is actually the human avatar of the Goddess Kali.
Main Villain, Carmilla Xiomara AKA Kali the Demon
She basically functions as a force of nature who just destroys everything in her way during her
turn if it were a board game. She's what a corrupt referee would be if the referee had the power
to kill the owner of the world (the Demiurge), the dungeon master (Some annoying Reddit nerd) & writer of the setting (Max Master), but still
has the ability to keep the game running even though the referee keeps breaking all of the rules.
Carmilla actually starts out as a protagonist and is the main hero of the Citadel of the Whore part of the game, up
until she kills Aina's dog. Then Aina becomes the new protagonist after the Nariphon Sacrifice fails.
(Aina's original attack animations has her cowardly hiding behind her puppy who does all of the fighting for her. The puppy is then replaced by Gods & Demons who serve Aina after the Nariphon Sacrifice.)
In-game, most of these human enemy sprites eventually converge into inverted forms of victims from the Nariphon Sacrifice.
This is an example of what it would look like from a side view. I don't use these sprites.
More Nariphon Sacrifice enemy sprites
Fuck A Bitch Intermission
Tier Power gauges
This is basically a guide line on how to either write or (if this were a board game.) play the characters.
Enron Sparrow of Mars Metropolis Semreh
I LOL'd when Elon did that in real life, because I've been telling motherfuckers
for years that any one who has anything to do with Space is Nazi-related or part of
the underground break away society, because "Space Aliens" & "Ancient Aliens" bullshit are just a psy-op to conceal the origins of our higher tech, which actually came from Nazis. (Nazis were meant to be a continuation of the progenitors, or at least that's the stupid religion that they made up about themselves.) As usual, Left wingers are sperging about
some stupid Jewish shit that they made up (Left wingers make no sense to me, they think that Zionists & Nazis are the same thing because most Leftys don't actually understand anything.) but the Right wingers are just as hilarious
because they're trying to deny that Elon was indeed signaling his association with something
that's Nazi related. The Semreh in my fiction are meant to be crazy ass Nazis who live in an underworld Metropolis called Mars.
I even make it obvious during the first few sentences about Silver Zero special forces when it mentions that only a certain word was declassified.
Maribel Cerisa Human Avatar of Lilith
is looking at Enron like "What the fuck did I just see?"
Prelude:
I hate the way the internet categorizes power levels.
I often see stupid shit where Goku is labeled as beyond an omnipotent god
but Motoko Kusanagi is just barely above a street level power level
when we actually see the 300 pound cyborg Motoko exploding peoples'
heads off with just one punch.
Goku has never done that & that's because his universe is cartoony & isn't
meant to be taken seriously. Miss me with that cope of "DUUURR Goku wouldn't punch someone's
head off. That's against his ethics." That makes no sense because Goku's power level is
so high that merely breathing air would kill the average human around him.
That's why I don't take DBZ power scaling seriously at all.
When a Dragon Ball character dies, it's because
the story calls for it. Not because they sustained enough damage to die.
Dragon Ball characters absorb so much damage that would kill off most
characters in fiction that it's hard to predict what could actually kill a Dragon ball
character beyond the writer randomly deciding that it's time for them to die.
Dragon Ball franchise does not reflect realistic damage
while Motoko's Ghost in the Shell setting is fairly realistic, and is mostly probable in our real world
since Motoko doesn't really do anything that real life Spec-Ops wouldn't be able to achieve
aside for her aforementioned ability to project enough physical force to punch heads off.
Motoko can also fire & reload anti-tank guns one handed, which is still within the realm of
realistic believability because she's nearly an entirely machine-based cyborg.
We have a real world basis for what machines can do. We have no idea what alleged aliens
can pull off so the excuse that Dragon Ball characters are aliens doesn't work for me
within any context outside of a piece of fiction that's written for children.
On internet, I also see dumb power level rankings where they rank Maki Sonomura AKA Mary
from the video game Persona 1 as a near God Creator tier, simply because she created a world
with her own mind. What this fails to understand is that Persona is
based off of real world philosophic teachings of Hermeticism
where it is believed that all is mind & that we exist, because we think.
We created everything that we perceive. Had we not perceived it, it wouldn't exist.
Some gamers have misinterpreted Maki's powers of creation (that we're all born with.)
as an ethereal alien-like power that even goes above Dragon Ball Z's Goku.
At least with the original PS1 Persona games, the power levels are fairly realistic
(when compared to random nonsensical bullshit like Dragon Ball Z where the power
levels merely reflect higher numbers but the numbers don't amount to anything
remotely logical, or realistic.)
because they're just everyday teens who are being empowered by gods & demons fueled by their inner selves aka Persona.
The Persona students merely have high will power, imagination & intuition but their projection of power isn't their own.
Gods & Demons can be interpreted as just the power of creation or power fueled by intent hidden within the human soul.
A Persona characters' projection of force are just contracts from gods & demons who aid the Persona kids
in combat, but the kids themselves are just using their bodies as a host.
It's a symbiotic relationship which allows the Persona kids' minds to tap into
godly & demonic powers who are in reality, just passing through our material world
within a temporary merged psychic-trance state where the Persona kids are evoking emotions
from the depths of their consciouness which physically takes form as the
gods & demons that they have initiated a pact with.
This is why the main character of Heretic Hydra / Pandora Eve, Aina Bria
is both a low Tier 1 & a Tier 10 maximum threat.
Her source of power follows the same
logic as a human character from a Shin Megami Tensei game where they're basically
just humans who have business relations with Gods & Demons.
Aina is a bit different because she's born with a highly intuned relationship to
ancestor gods but through an occult sacrificial mishap, she was also unintentionaly
given the ability to summon gods & demons that she shares no default affinity with.
The difference between her & someone from a SMT or Persona is that a Persona character
is just amplifying inner-emotions that animate into an evoked God or Demon. SMT human characters
are generally sacrificing or trading a source of energy that allows Gods & Demons to
physically emerge in the material world for a limited time.
Demifiend & Nahobino aren't human so they're able to naturally summon Gods & Demons
as allies or a part of their army, because they share the same density level as the Gods.
Aina is the source of energy or uncreation, which in a way could be considered as a god
but she's meant to represent that all humans have the ability to create.
They just choose not to or are unable to because they do not think.
They live life on auto-pilot wage slavery.
Creation of reality generally takes the form of an Egregore when a large
group of true believers have assembled underneath the same Gods until the cult
eventually evolves into a religion, and then a civilization.
Note: I'm well aware that this sounds somewhat like what SJWs/Wokesters think they do, but
they're not empowered by any gods. They don't even believe that anything exists
beyond the material realm. They're empowered by false hope.
IMO their efforts are absorbed by Ahriman which is why Social Justice Warrior society
is one of extreme authoritarian control.
Aina's cult HeritkS, is empowered by her delusion that she's from Earth.
We, the audience know for a fact that Earth or the realm that we call Earth exists because we live in it.
It's Aina Bria's ability to recall memories & feelings of other lives which are amplified
by her spiritual relationships to demiurge-tier beings that allows her to both
exist as just an early 20 something yr old bimbo who also has a projection of force that goes beyond the gods' infinite potential,
because her thoughts are classified as equal to or even beyond the world's human collective consciousness.
Her power comes from her intuition, her delusion that she's from the planet Earth.
She believes that she's from Earth so much that the world around her rewrites
the scripts of her potential future just to conform with what she intuitively believes to be true.
What the Gods create through thought, Aina will erase with her own thoughts.
This is the origin of pandemonium (divine chaos), the will of gods is being
disrupted by a human female who can erase or reprogram the will of gods
to conform with her own heretical errant delusions.
The Threat Tier list aka Risk Ranks reflects the danger levels of people who get caught within the crossfire
of Gods creating & deleting reality through mere thoughts while humans do what they always do,
trying to solve every single problem in the world through guns & weapons of mass destruction.
Threat Tiers in-game:
The Creator God is not ranked, and would be considered as too infinitely above human comprehension.
The character Hidden Glory who is based off of Jesus or the Christ Conciousness would be classified as a Tier 10+++ threat if he directly
interacted with the world of Talamh but he does not. The Hidden Glory merely observes but will rarely interfere if The Hidden Glory knows that
it is necessary to visit Talamh from outside of the Polarian-Mirror. The Nariphon Sacrifice was one such occasion where The Hidden Glory changed the
trajectory of power from the Polarian Goddess Asherah, back on to Aina Bria.
Aina is herself an avatar of Sophia (Celesterra) & Asherah, The Two Divine Feminine who were excised
and retconned out of the Nicene Creed. Do not confuse an Avatar for a Polarian-Caste.
A Polarian-Caste is a God reborn as a Human. Aina's body is merely the host or a beacon of the Gods.
Each + signifies an amplifier. (Polarian-Caste, Ancestral-Transcendant, & The Architect)
The plus signs are to be read as a Cross. So Tier 10+++ is a Calvary or a 10 Cross Trinity.
Carmilla Xiomara (The Goddess Kali who is a mass consciouness that overides the bodies of humans.)
is the only other figure aside for The Hidden Glory who is also a Tier 10+++.
Only The Hidden Glory is able to maintain a Cross Trinity between realms.
Carmilla is merely a Cross Trinity within the world of Talamh where she was supposed to function
as a referee to the Demiurge or Realm Master, but she killed the Realm Master and purposely left
the position vacant. Anyone who tried to appoint a new Realm Master was immediately deposed or killed.
Larry Phoenix is a Threat Tier 1+++ Cross Trinity which makes him equal to a base level 10 threat
in terms of influence. What he can't accomplish physically, he can easily engineer society to do his bidding for him.
A Cross Trinity is worth 9 extra levels. Two + is worth 4. A single + is worth one extra level.
The Protagonist Aina Bria eventually becomes a Tier 10++ TR60 threat during the ending, but in-game she's
just Tier 9+ TR18 (A High-God, Ancestral-Transcendent).
Aina is born as an Ancestral-Transcendent but is also one of the only living entities in
existence who has the power to create, The Architect.
The Vampire Pimp Drakken is a Tier 9 who has the potential to move up to Tier 10, if
he cared enough to influence the masses into worshipping him, but he doesn't care.
Even if he did, he'd just be a base-level Tier 10 with zero amplifiers.
Most Tier 10s have no amplifiers at all and are simply Gods or God-like beings who have
a fanatical religion of loyalists who empower them beyond Godhood.
Miyabi Kagura is a Tier 10+ TR20 threat (The Architect, the rarest & most valuable amplifier),
but she can't complete a Cross Trinity since she's purely or mostly machine and can't
ever be reborn as a Polarian-Caste.
Kagura is humanity's attempt at creating God to replace the lack of a Talamh Realm Master.
Tier 10s without a cross are leagues below Tier 10s who have a cross or three.
+ = x2, Double Cross ++ = x6, Cross Trinity +++ = x20
A Tier 9 with Double Cross amplifiers (TR9++ = TR50) is above a base-level Tier 10 threat
but is completely outmatched by a Tier 10 Cross Trinity (TR10+++ = TR200) threat.
The word God within the context of threat tiers refers to those of superhuman abilities that are above collective human output,
but can still be mostly comprehended by a human mind.
This threat tier power level list is meant to ressemble a real life
danger threat assessment categorization so any entity who can create universes
just by merely existing or anyone who is above a demiurge in terms of power projection
are all thrown into the same class because they fall within the category of phenomenon that
defies human comprehension.
This is why for the first 7 tiers, it just sounds like they're
describing generic humans with guns who merely have better training & conditioning then previous levels.
Tier 8 - 10 is when the threat assessments begin to describe unfathomble talents
that are not normally possible for a human to acheive, and is considered as above peak human.
In real life, all humans can only raise their abilites up to a certain point during the prime
of their life which is generally in your 20s-35, beyond 35 the avg human's peak potential steadily dwindles
below the human peak of high 80s.
Even with this in mind, an average prime top level athlete or soldier would still only be in
the upper 80s of skill, talent, strength & intellect with only genetic
anomalies & freaks being able to break through the 90s or even the 100 barrier within a scale of 1 - 100
with 100 being considered as the peak of human capability. What seperates top prime fighters from just
a prime fighter is that those at the top generally have at least one talent that's above 90.
I use examples of popular widely known boxers to help illustrate the point that the
threat assessments are trying to describe.
For someone like Floyd Mayweather, its his tactical thinking, reach & positioning that
nobody within his weight class can match.
Muhammad Ali is generally considered high (as in high 80s) in every single category so he's just solid
all around. Mike Tyson would be mid to high 80s all around except for strentgh which is at least 94.
While he is known for having low stamina, it's more the case that his boxing style exerts too much
energy. If you were to pit Tyson against a normal person, his stamina would still appear infinitely godlike,
even if his stamina would realistically be low to mid 80s.
Look at the difference in conditioning between Bob Sapp in contrast to Mike Tyson. You see a clear
difference between a godlike athlete with top tier stamina when compared with Bob Sapp's impressive
size but fairly average stamina. It's only when you see lesser fighters breathe that you realize
just how god-like the top prime athletes are, because you rarely ever see them out of breath.
If they existed in the Heretic Hydra universe, Ali & Tyson would be Tier 4.
Mayweather a Tier 3. He could've been higher but his style of fighting would only work in a sports setting & someone
his size would get easily wrecked in a real fight against a much larger or bulkier opponent
who also disregards queensberry rules. You take away queensberry rules, Floyd becomes an
average man because his fighting prowess is centered around his mastery of a contained
& organized fighting environment. Bob Sapp is also Tier 3, while he's nowhere close to being
the fighter that Floyd is. It's Bob's sheer size combined with his traning
that puts him at a tier 3 danger level. In real life, the feet & fists of
top martial artists & fighters are legally considered as a weapon so that places
them as a tier 2 threat by default.
The tiers are created with the belief that anybody who is above 90 with an average near or above 95
out of 100 in terms of overall fighting ability, are almost always either directly employed
as expendable government assassins or in some very rare cases they work within the criminal underworld.
I've never seen much evidence for the latter. I've always gotten the impression that in real life,
criminal underworld assassins are simply people who have zero morals & zero concept of loyalty,
who merely befriend the targets (to catch them off guard.) before liquidation.
Mafia (organized crime) hitmen in real life are generally just tier 2 threats
who do not expect the target to fight back.
An MI6 assassin or a Navy Seal is at minimum a tier 5 threat, as are similar assets who
directly work for the government. The aforementioned Motoko Kusanagi would be classified
as a Tier 7 threat. Motoko's Man Machine Interface variant would be a Tier 8 Lower-God.
Note: The actual Threat Ranks in the Heretic Hydra setting go beyond the human scale, so a 100% Peak human would only be registered
as a 70% tiered threat in the Heretic Hydra setting, where Gods & Demons exists. 80 - 100 are reserved for divine forces
or higher tech. The mid to upper 70 range accounts for human anomalies who aren't quite divine or techno-based.
Threat Rank:
Polarian Gods are not graded because they don't exist inside the realm of Talamh.
+ (Cross) signs represent one of the 3 amplifiers,
Polarian-Caste, Ancestral-Transcendent or The Architect.
You have to be born a Polarian-Caste and can't ever earn it within a single life.
Architect is the rarest Cross sign and only afforded to those
who wield the power of creating life from nothing.
Ancestral-Transcendent is contractual but some people are born with
an innate affinity to certain Gods and might be able to forego a contract altogether.
Polarian-Caste is a God reborn in the bodies of humans.
An Ancestral-Transcendent functions like an avatar who uses their
body as a host for Gods who may or may not assert full control over the host's physical body.
A character with all 3 + has a Cross Trinity, which multiplies their
threat rank by 20. A character with two + has a Double Cross that
multiplies their threat rank by 6. One + Cross multiplies their threat rank by 2.
Lucifer, Lilith, Kagura & Larry Phoenix are all at TR 20 by default, despite Larry being
a mere Lvl 1 Tiered Threat while Lucifer, Kagura & Lilith are all Tier 10s with at least one + Cross.
Larry Phoenix is the one other character who has a Cross Trinity so his Threat upgrades to a TR 20.
Carmilla is at TR 200, which is why she's so overpowered and why
most people don't even bother to directly confront her.
Aina Bria is the 2nd most powerful player within the Realm of Talamh
at a TR 60 with a base level of 10++ Double Cross 75%.
Threat Rankings are capped at level 9 High-Gods which is the same
TR required to be a Realm Master & is also the TR of the Demiurge.
The Demiurge is a Title bestowed to those in between TR 9 & TR 10.
TR 10 is used as an extra category to catalog threats who are beyond Gods or beyond reality.
The Cross Amplifiers are multipliers that visualize how far beyond gods that a specific character is.
On a surface level, Henrik Dullahan appears to be equal to other level 10s,
but he has no Cross sign at all so he's actually even below that of
Threat Rank 8+ Esmeralda Luna, whose base level is multiplied by 2 giving her
an overall Rank of TR 16.
Henrik Dullahan represents the strongest human, but he's still just a
human who is merely described as a god. It's ironic that Henrik is more powerful
than a Demiurge but is also completely outmatched by genuine Gods from Beyond the Polarian-Mirror.
The Cross signs are often an indication that a character is a
god reborn as a human, an avatar of gods, or an Architect, one who designs & devises.

He is a visitor from outside of Talamh who rarely if ever

Threat Assessment is also judged by these additional criterias:
Projection of Power
RIVIDA or TIVIDA
Radiance: This scores your aptitude towards etheral forces.
Radiance is replaced with Technology if the former doesn't apply.
Miyabi Kagura would be over 100% Tech but below 0% Radiance.
Carmilla & Aina score 100% in Radiance.
Lomratalia is about 90% in Tech and 30% in Radiance so you grade her by the higher value between Tech & Radiance & discard the lower number.
Influence: This is a score of how much resources you have at your disposal.
Carmilla Xiomara & Larry Phoenix would score over 100% since they own & operate multiple corporations & even multiple countries.
Miyabi Kagura & Aleister Wolster are at 90%-98% since they own their own cultures, country, & people. Wolster is bolstered up to 98% since
the Semreh Mars Metropolis own plenty of soft power because it is precisely their tech that is mostly used
to keep the world's population complacent and obedient.
The Kagura are at 94%. Kagura have high tech (mostly just revisions of borrowed tech from Calgatha & Semreh), & a formidable military force,
and own a country with a distinct culture, but they live on a worthless island that barely has any useful natural resources so their main source of income
is from tourism, their entertainment industry & their private military companies.
Henrik Dullahan the Emperor of Calgatha would be at 65%.
They have the ability to acquire more resources through war since Calgathan's have the
2nd highest tech after the Semreh & USA alliance and the highest war tech that they horde to keep the knowledge
of the weapons away from those who would abuse or sell the power.
Henrik's resource score remains relatively low when compared to other rulers because
they have next to no influence in modern Talamh society and many people assume that they're just a legend anyway.
A character like Rex Salvador The Tyrant Rex would have a resource score of 20%.
He commands an army of police officers that number at only 2 or 3 if you include himself but Rex commands a decent amount
of street cred and one of the officers that he leads over (Janet Castillo) is a fairly famous digital influencer.
Rex is sometimes a guest at her podcast.
The protagonist Aina Bria's Influence score is about 80% since she's a rich spoiled bitch
and is also an immensely popular digital celebrity.
Aina doesn't lead a country but she does have a million man army of fanatical simps
who are about equal in numbers & economic value to several countries combined.

The avg score is added on top of the base threat tier lvl in order
to gauge how high you are placed within that threat tier.
This is the Rpg Maker configuration of the ruleset since rm2k is extremely limited I'm
forced to limit the Rivida stats into 3, with 1 stagnant stat (Turn phase) that's made up just for the rm2k conversion.
Attack= Vigor
Defense= Willpower
Mind = Perception
Agility= Turn Phase
Turn Phase is inherited and can't be changed.
Tier 1:Civilian
Tier 2: Trained Civilian, Security or Athlete
Tiers 1 & 2 are 99% of the world population.
Aina Bria's main love interest is a Tier 2 Mafia associate, Chucky Barone.
What's amusing is that characters within the higher tiers can & will masquerade themselves
as Tier 1 or 2 threats to avoid detection & termination by the ULA United Liberty Association.
Tier 3: SWAT team or Pro Athlete.
This is the lowest tier of threats who are considered dangerous.
The majority of the Imperio Empire Mafiaso that you meet are at Tier 2 or 3.
(Imperio is a country that was formerly Italy who are a mixture of modern Italy, the Romance countries of Spain, Italy, France & Portugal & the fall of Rome.)
Vinny DeRosa is a Gustavo Mafiaso who starts as a Tier 3 threat but he becomes a Tier 7 Demi-God after he is cybernetically enhanced when he was personally recruited
by the Sentient AI Miyabi Kagura (Based off of Phantasy Star's Mother Brain & Man Machine Interface Motoko Kusanagi.)
into the Kaguran SDP (Self-Defense Prosperity) Divison 9 Counter Intelligence & Insurgency Unit led by Ryuji Takemura (Who is based off of Sorpano's Uncle Junior & Ghost in the Shell's Aramaki.)
Tier 4: US Marines or Top Pro Athlete. At this level, threats begin to behave with far more tactical efficency.
Every tier starting from 4 & above are to be considered as tactical geniuses.
These are the Mike Tysons & Muhammad Alis of the world. Although a Marine would typically liquidate
a pro athlete with next to no effort. There exists some athletes who have near godlike abilities that
can make them a somewhat equal threat. They (Top Athletes) do not have the same training that a hired killer does so they
still would rank lower than a battle hardened marine infantry, but a top world class athlete would still be far more dangerous than
the avg athlete or a single individual from a swat tactical unit. DoomGuy was originally written as a tier 4 threat marine
but in-game he was always more of a tier 6 & is about an 8 during Eternal.
In Heretic Hydra, most of the geopolitical military forces peak at Tier 4, requiring specialized projects & assassins
to tap into Tier 5 and the upper tiers. The entirety of the world is governed & policed by Tier 4s.
Tier 5: Marine Raider, MARSOC, Navy Seal, Hitman, Professional Assassin. They're at peak-human of ability or near it.
Ex. James Bond, Golgo 13, Spike Spiegel, Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield ,John Mclane the average Call of Duty or Fallout protag falls within this range.
Many Tier 5s are just Tier 4s who have survived plenty of battles & gradually became more dangerous due to experience.
Depending on the Resident Evil game, RE protagonists can be classified as Tier 6 Demi-gods but they're usually written as
tier 4s with the exception of Leon, Ada Wong & Chris who seem to be firmly written within the Tier 5 category.
The majority of the operatives & warriors witin Heretic Hydra are at Tier 6.
Most notable example is Omarr Philips who is generally regarded as the elite of the elites & he is used as a plot device to seperate
the difference in sheer power between that of humans, machine & gods with non-cybernetically or non-divinely enhanced humans at the complete bottom of the hierarchy.
Tier 5 represents the peak of human mind & body but still require a well organized support team to pull off a slightly similar projection of force as a lower demi-god.
Vinny's former boss, Augustus Gustavo (Based off of Tony Soprano) of the Gustavo Mafia Family is also recruited as an intelligence officer for the SDP Division 9.
Augustus is a natural Tier 5 threat despite his lack of military training or experience in warfare.
Augustus is an example of an individual who would normally be a Tier 2 threat but his sheer force of will & charisma
& his street smart tactical know-how have him placed at the same threat asessment level of a tier 5 Spec Ops assassin.
Not because he's on their level in terms of fighting ability, but because Augustus presents a random variable
that's hard to accurately calculate especially when his natural talents are amplified by the guidance of the hardened war veterans,
Miyabi Kagura & Ryuji Takemura.
Whomever was left of Gustavo's clan after his Mafia Family were targeted for liqudation by the USA (Union Society of Acquiessence)
Public Security Aides (who are just an over glorified dystopian Global SWAT team squad based off of Jin-Roh & Nazi Gestapo.)
were all later recruited into the Kagura (A Technocractic island country that was known as Japan.) Military force and are utilized as
field operatives & teachers in direct warfare & espionage. Kagura has a distinct lack of men so they try to acquisition as many viable men as possible, from
other countries. This is why many of Kagura's highest ranking officers & operatives are of foreign descent.
Ragnar Lekander (based off of Mike Haggar/Don Frye & GITS Batou) is Miyabi Kagura's De Facto 2nd in command & field commander
who is in charge of the most important field, psychological & counter-terrorist operations.
Ragnar is of the Semreh Mars ethnicity but has been excommunicated by Mars Metropolis. Since he is of Mars descent,
he could be considered as a Tier 9 threat but he's not allowed to use or be supplied with Mars weaponry so long as he's employed
with the Kagura. Ragnar can reunite with the Brethren of Mars if he ever so wishes, but he doesn't seem interested.
He is supplied with state of the art Kagura tech, which makes him at least a Tier 8 threat when amplified with
his base abilities.
Most Kagura operatives are somewhere between Tier 5 - Tier 7 due to cybernetic enhancement & the Miyabi Kagura Articial Intelligence who
aids them as part of their support team. While technically the Kagura could be considered as more militarsiticly powerful than
the rest of the human nations, they lack a serious supply of man power so they function more as an isolated hub of commerce who trade & sell
with USA & Carthay as their main exporters. The reality is that Kagura is just a useless rock of land with no valuable resources
and would've been taken over long ago had the AI God Miyabi Kagura not taken over, restored order & created a military force that's near
impossible to invade but also has practically no ability to attack or invade outside of specialized military operations
During Carmilla's reign as the God of the world, the Kagura sided with the USA, who are the main representative of Carmilla's influence.
When the Vladar invade to mediate against Carmilla,
the Vladar enter a mutually beneficial relationship with Kagura, which in turn classifies Miyabi Kagura as the new main antagonist
because she's a Material God in place of the world's God (Demiurge & Carmilla Xiomara.)
This is the part of the story where the world enters an extremly polarized East Vs West conflict because Xiomara still commands the entirety
of the Western world. Kagura only controls Kagura but they're aided by Demonic-looking Alien beings (Vladar) who help them repel
against the attacks of the West. The other Eastern nations such as Carthay (China) & Prava (Russia) are just watching from the sidelines as they
try to indirectly sabotage both world orders
This causes an opening for the two breakaway DemiGod civilizations, Calgatha Empire & Semreh Mars Metropolis to try and
take over parts of the Western Allied powers, but as usual they end up wasting all of their time killing off each other since they're
the two cultures with the most superior weaponry & technology. It doesn't help that Carmilla has always had
long-form plans to genocide the superhumans but she only kept them around to terrorize & manipulate the world populace into worshipping her, which
increases her nearly infinite projection of power.
Tier 6: Lower DemiGod. A glass cannon who can solo entire armies & the world's top assassins & soldiers.
They generally have high luck to make up for their typical human frailities & mortality.
Their proficency with firearms, martial arts & melee weapon-based combat are at a level
above the world's top athletes & soldiers.
Although their fighting prowess may seem godlike, they're still just a human who can easily be killed.
Examples: John Wick, John Matrix, John Rambo, The Punisher, The Beekeeper,
Agent 47, Max Payne, Solid Snake, The Equalizer
In Heretic Hydra, the tier 7s are generally every Cathay or Prava operative that we meet
The average citizen of Carthay or Prava are only Tier 1 but we're shown a skewed perception of their military
might since we only ever meet the Eastern Military Projects who don't officially exist.
Tier 7s are so specialized that they're rarely used in military conflicts & are mostly used for assassinations
& gathering reconnaissance. The 2 most notable are Carthay's Korean John Wick, Ji-Min Rhee & the USA's Wetwork operative The Sinister7.
We usually meet them after or during their missions but they're neutral to you for the most part, since you're not a part of the
mission, and they'll often describe you (Aina Bria) as a glitch in the system.
Tier 7: DemiGod. They have the same advantages as tier 6 except they have high durability & can sustain injuries
that would kill a normal human. This tier also includes those who have high durability due to their
high-level of tech such as Ironman, Dr. Doom or Samus Aran.
Androids such as The Terminator or Cyborgs like Ghost in the Shell's Motoko Kusanagi & Bato fall
into this tier, since they are made of high technology but they also have high military prowess due
to their war experience in both World War 3 & 4.
In the Heretic Hydra setting, people of the Red-Haired Calgathan
ethnicity are born with highly durable skin (Which is why the men & women are barely clothed & see no need for it.),
and they also have access to ancient futuristic-techs that they horde for
themselves within their breakaway civilization. A non-Calgathan wouldn't understand how to use their antiquatech anyway.
Tier 8: Lower God. These are generally people who have god-like or super natural abilities but have
a lower energy source that prevents them from being infinitely fueled with power like a true God.
Often times, these beings are just Gods who share a body with a human host. So by nature their power
must be limited otherwise they risk damaging or killing their host-body.
In other cases, they're just people who are highly trained in dark or arcane arts so they have transcended into
a semi God-like state where the Gods that they pay tribute to assist their bodies & have granted them boons
to their base abilities.
In Heretic Hydra, one of the highest tier characters you play as is a Carthay Assassin called Jiao Zeng.
She's the quintessential example of a Tier 8 because she needs to be constantly supplied with an energy source
to stay at TR 8. Without a constant stream of energy,
she reverts down to a TR 5 which puts her on par with Military Elite Special Forces.
Sigmund Bron is an example of a Tier 8 Lower God but is actually a Demigod Human who is deified as a god due to cargo cult perceptions of reality.
Since he's from the one other race of Demigods. I'll use this time to elaborate more on his society, Semreh Mars Metropolis.
He's a human, but classified as a God because his base abilities far exceed that of any human as are most people of Bron's race, The Martians or Brethren of Mars.
Also known as Cult of Mars or Disciples of Mars.
Aina Bria is a diaspora of the Mars people & is also the reason why she's able to tap into & befriend the Celesterra pressence.
Aina doesn't consider herself as one of the Mars people so they act as tertiary antagonists for the entire game.
Her mother Aya Bria (who long disowned her.) is an extremely xenophobic nationalistic loyalist of Mars,
as is Aina's birth father whose identity isn't known outside of Mars Metropolis.
Her father loves her unconditionally & allows her to live as she pleases, even though he does not approve.
She doesn't even know who her dad is anyway.
Bron is from a Blonde hair, Blue eyed Aryan-inspired breakaway race who came from an underworld metropolis that they call
Mars. They're a supergenius intellectual race of high technologically advanced people who are built like Greek Gods who
have devoted their entire existence to war. For them war is both of the mind & body so while they're Blonde & exaggeratedly muscular
like Dragon Ball Z's Super Saiyans, they prefer to wage war through subversion & manipulation. They often masquerade
as citizens of the USA (Unified Sovereigns of Arpartias).
They generally work in tandem with the United Liberty Alliance.
They only view 3 countries as threats.
The Cathay (China & Korea led by a guy who ressembles Shao Kahn)
The Heavenly Prava (Who are meant to be Russian Slavic Eastern European Vampire Nobility lead by a Putin lookalike.)
Heavently Prava and Cathay aren't focused on much, because they're written as plot devices who imply an incoming geopoltical threat. (Which never happens because Carmilla rules over them too, their only purpose is to inspire the fear of invasion.)
We only ever see meetings with the leadership and cross paths with assassins from their two countries in the actual game.
(A Korean John Wick lookalike, JiMin Rhee. A Prava Cathay hybrid girl who looks like a vampire, Jiao Zeng. Two huge Russian dudes who are based off of Ivan Drago & Scott Adkins.)
The Calgatha Empire is the main threat to Semreh Mar's ambitions.
Calgthans aren't anywhere near as intelligent as the Brethren of Mars but
Calgatha's physical & military might far exceeds even the people of Mars Metropolis.
Calgathans are far more primal, animalistic, and function more like the Genghis Khan Mongol hordes but powered by radiant energy guns instead of horses & bows.
Their technological level is nearly on par with Mars Metropolis but Semreh Mars Metropolis funds & distributes tech of commerce, entertainment & art, as well as war.
Calgathans are also supergenius level, but they're single minded & only fund tech into their architecture, tactics, & war machine.
Violence is their artistic expression.
Calgatha hoard their specialized ancient tech & mostly keep it to themselves.
Semreh Mars Metropolis in contrast subverts, spies & controls the world via their tech that they share with the entire planet.
Mars Metropolis have a close relationship with Carmilla & her family the house of Xiomara.
In public this is shown as a partnership between her billionaire father Gabrielle & the King of Mars, Aleister Wolster.
In private the Mars people work directly under Carmilla and they are sponsored by the God's Mars, Ahriman & YHWH.
Carmilla is merely keeping her enemies close, because her mother Asherah (The Whore of the Citadel.) wants revenge on YHWH.
YHWH, Ahriman & Asherah are all Polarians but as Polarians they can't directly confront each other.
They have to do it through the human world via their playing pieces, actual humans dying & killing in their name.
The Red Hair Calgathans are inspired by Hypoborean, The Blonde Hair Martians are inspired by Aryans.
Tier 9: A God. Anyone with omnipotent superhuman capabilities & powers.
There isn't any rhyme or reason as to how Gods came into being, they just are.
For this Threat Assessment ranking,
a God is labeled as anyone who you have come into contact with but have little or no means of fighting back because their
ability to project or deflect power far exceeds the amount of collective force that humanity can generate as a whole.
The strongest character you play as is a Tier 9+ (She graduates into a TR 10++ by the end of Pandora Eve), your main character Aina Bria.
Aina is a curious case because like Maribel(Lilith), Aina would naturally be identified as a Tier 1 threat.
Aina can't fight, she's not that athletic, she doesn't even know how to use a gun & doesn't even bother.
She can't even hold a baseball bat or blade correctly.
Aina seems pretty damn useless because she's also a stupid bimbo & a klutz, but her body is jointly used as a
host by Celesterra (who is believed to be an incarnation of Sophia from the Gnostic faiths) & Aina is
unintentionally empowered by the Nariphon Sacrifice.
Aina is also directly manipulated by one of the main villains, Carmilla Xiomara.
Carmilla exists above the Demiurge & she is considered the highest being within the visible human playing field,
but she's basically just an unfathomable anomaly who acts as the dungeon master or architect of her world.
Carmilla & Celesterra are both Aeons who directly control human avatars like pieces on a chessboard to do their bidding.
Celesterra shares her abilities with Aina at strategic oppurtune intervals to allow Aina to tank
damage that she normally wouldn't be able to survive as a normal human. Any damage that she tanks, she can reflect back.
Carmilla only intended to use Aina as part of the Nariphon Tree sacrifice, but due to a miracle by an entity known as The Hidden Glory.
Aina was moved a split second (into a higher spiritual density) away from the execution light field
(which killed everyone in the room including the Agent Dr. Swan who was hired to rescue her. The Hidden Glory chose to save Aina & her only.)
but due to this miscalculation (by a Carmilla underling.) it allowed Aina to absorb most of the energy of fear
& anquish of the sacrificed which granted her the ability to summon & control demons, angels & lesser gods.
The energy from the Nariphon Tree sacrifices were meant to fuel & summon the return of the Goddess Asherah.
(In the Heretic Hydra setting, Asherah is an exiled Polarian who are a race of Gods who exist at the highest echelons of Divinity. Asherah is Carmilla's mother.)
Aina benefits from both Celesterra amplifying Aina's base abilities and Carmilla accidentally gifting her the
ability to summon a lesser god/angel/demon army because she absorbed a collective life force that was meant to grant human life to a true God
A normal human would've been killed by the lifeforce because a human body can't handle that amount of power
but Celesterra was laying dormant within Aina's body & chose to finally reveal herself by sharing her etheric
shield to absorb most of the blast while still fueling Aina with enough excess life force that grants her the ability to summon entities.
The Kaguran female named Kamui Seika, is a TR 9+ precisely due to how she's a human who shares a symbiotic relationship with Japanese Goddesses & Empresses
who amplify her base abilities. Japanese is the ancient name for Kaguran. The Japs are nearly extinct in this setting due to a lack of young men breeding
and a mixture of cultural issues which led to the people not even believing in their own divinity anymore.
A new civilization called the Kagura have replaced the former-culture. They're composed of the remnants of the Japanese but the Japs are de-facto dead since they only have 1 man left named Miki who is
under 25 yrs old, but also happens to be gay & stuck inside an Island society that's nearly populated with all women. The rest of the surviving males are in their 40s or much older.)
Kagura is a High-Tech society that's governed by an AI Artificial Intelligence Goddess called Miyabi Kagura. (She's obviously based off of Motoko Kusanagi.)
The invading Alien-like race, The Vladar are a TR 9 who function as mediator or moderator types.
Although the Vladar aren't strong enough to fight back against Carmilla.
They can hurt her where it hurts most for her, by stealing her joy of instigating fear onto others.
When a Vladar inhabits the body of a human-host, the human becomes a zombie.
Carmilla can't manipulate a body whose soul has already been taken over.
Her only options are to kill the Vladar which also kills the human host
or she parleys & works out a truce that mostly benefits her.
Tier in between 9 & 10: Demiurge
This is just the entity who created & built the human material world that the game takes place in.
Before the game ever started, it was already taken over by Carmilla who exists as the Goddess Kali in human form.
Demiurge is a bratty loser who thinks, speaks & acts like a Redditor. He was born from Sophia. Sophia is Celesterra.
She uses the entire Mars race as potential bodies to live within. Celesterra initially intended to punish the Demiurge but the anomaly, Carmilla functions
more as the true ruler of this specific material reality.
Tier 10: Beyond Reality or Beyond Gods
The lowest of this tier are Aeons like Celesterra & Carmilla who are clearly above the Demiurge & the Demiurge is beyond everyone within Tier 1 - 9.
Entities within tier 10 exist outside of the system, so they take on roles more similar to that of a mediator, rule keeper, dungeon master, storyteller, architect, the director.
On a meta level, you the reader are Tier 10 because you exist outside of the reality of this piece of fiction.
The Gods within this fiction are also just playing & watching the narrative unfold.
Beyond Reality is treated like a Super Heavyweight fighting class in that there's no maximum cap
to their power.
Aina Bria can be labeled as Beyond Reality because her abilities are such a glitch in the reality system that she slips
through the fabrics of reality & the constraints of time because reality itself can't even comprehend the random inane stupidity of her existance.
This is what allows her the ability to exodus or rapture herself out of the material world.
Lilith (Maribel Cerisa) & Lucifer (Mamoru Sakuraba) are born as Tier 10 but will assume a lower state of consciousness & reality.
which allows them to inhabit & dwell within material human bodies as if it were their own.
Lucifer is much more talented at this because we have no idea what he looks like at all outside of his human shell.
Lilith still technically shares her body with Maribel, possibly due to Lilith's own lack of capability or
Maribel's sense of self being far too strong of an imprint to completely overwrite.
The character Maribel Cerisa who is technically a Tier 10+ is a human who shares her body with the Demon Lilith.
Or so they say, in actuality she's just Lilith. The girl who was Maribel is mostly dead now or her personality &
spirit have been completely rewritten or erased by Lilith. Lilith is a Tier 10 threat but she hides her power through
her Maribel Cerisa host-body who is by default a Tier 1 threat, but can be registered as high as Tier 10 due to either
being detected by an individial who has a high perception ability & can sense Lilith's dormant power, or Lilith herself
having trouble trying to keep up the facade of being a harmless Tier 1 Goth chick.
Unranked: The ALL, Creator God. The source of all existence & mind.
He's only represented as The Hidden Glory (Jesus) and has no speaking lines.
I was supposed to post this back in Dec. 20, but holiday bullshit got in the way all the way up to the new years and then my internet went over the limit because of PS5 so I couldn't post shit after Jan. 21.
This thread is represented as a bunch of advertisements, similar to how Grand Theft Auto & Cyberpunk 2077 presents itself. You'll see a lot of these ads & news broadcasts in-game.
Anyway it's hilarious, ai art engines know who I am (it knows a lot of the old school e-celebs, mostly just seems to know females though. Prob coz they were rarer back then, & I'm prob the one guy from back then, who actually looks cool and still does.), which is why it's so damn easy for me to generate art that looks like me lol.

These sheets were made by some Japanese guy way back in the 2000s.
I wish I could credit him, but the Japanese website that uploaded them no longer exists.
I photoshopped these, except for the Eye. The eye came from some Jrpg, but I don't recall which game.
[img]https://i.postimg.cc/4yphwsMx/HHConvergence-Custom.png[/img]
The Human factions, you fight against every single one except for Prava & Carthay, but that's only because Aina never travels there. These were a mixture of Ai gen & photoshop. They haven't been pixelized yet.
[img]https://i.postimg.cc/4Nb994V8/hhenemysampl.png[/img]
Of course you fight a Cyborg Hitle- oh I'm sorry I mean Heidler as a recurring comic relief boss like FF6's Ultros.
[img]https://i.postimg.cc/vBFPmHWQ/enemyboss.jpg[/img]
The big purple guy is just an Earthling, which in this setting are Lizard men. (Earth is viewed as a retarded conspiracy theory.)
You fight off Aztlan Cartels & Unified Sovereign Military Men
[img]https://i.postimg.cc/HWNSh2NG/enemy.jpg[/img]
Left is the Mafia faction (Xed's crew, coz of course the Imperio Italian analogs are going to stereotyped as Mafia.)
Right are Espadia enforcers, who are Elite Soldiers for Heretic Hydra's version of The Vatican.

Aina has to fight off every single faction in the game.

The Final Boss Miyabi Kagura, Sentient Artificial Intelligence[/b]
[img]https://i.postimg.cc/G20kJxPF/enemyfinalboss.jpg[/img]
This fight is written as a tragic last stand because Miyabi is basically humanity's last hope
against the pure tyranny of Carmilla and the retarded insanity of Aina Bria, but you're playing as Aina Bria lol!
Miyabi is actually the true hero but I prefer stories that focus on the most interesting character, which is Aina. I hate it when the most interesting character is always the villain or the heroine love interest, because the plot becomes too damn predictable when it's the villain pushing the plot forward or if the plot revolves around protecting a heroine love interest. Aina Bria is basically written as a Lovecraft Eldritch but as a cute girl, kinda like how Kirby from the Nintendo games is an Eldritch horror who just happens to be an alien that looks like a marshmallow.
[b]Earth Battalion Commander[/b]
In most games, this guy would've obviously been the Final Boss.
[img]https://i.postimg.cc/ydmL34P0/Earth-Battalion-Commander.jpg[/img]
He even shows up out of nowhere just like a typical Jrpg final boss but he's just a comic-relief fake out Final Boss character (I don't mind spoiling aspects of the plot because I'm confident in my writing ability to still make it interesting in-game.) because he gets one hit killed by the owner of Shining Media, Carmilla Xiomara who is actually the human avatar of the Goddess Kali.

She basically functions as a force of nature who just destroys everything in her way during her
turn if it were a board game. She's what a corrupt referee would be if the referee had the power
to kill the owner of the world (the Demiurge), the dungeon master (Some annoying Reddit nerd) & writer of the setting (Max Master), but still
has the ability to keep the game running even though the referee keeps breaking all of the rules.
Carmilla actually starts out as a protagonist and is the main hero of the Citadel of the Whore part of the game, up
until she kills Aina's dog. Then Aina becomes the new protagonist after the Nariphon Sacrifice fails.
(Aina's original attack animations has her cowardly hiding behind her puppy who does all of the fighting for her. The puppy is then replaced by Gods & Demons who serve Aina after the Nariphon Sacrifice.)
In-game, most of these human enemy sprites eventually converge into inverted forms of victims from the Nariphon Sacrifice.
This is an example of what it would look like from a side view. I don't use these sprites.

I LOL'd when Elon did that in real life, because I've been telling motherfuckers
for years that any one who has anything to do with Space is Nazi-related or part of
the underground break away society, because "Space Aliens" & "Ancient Aliens" bullshit are just a psy-op to conceal the origins of our higher tech, which actually came from Nazis. (Nazis were meant to be a continuation of the progenitors, or at least that's the stupid religion that they made up about themselves.) As usual, Left wingers are sperging about
some stupid Jewish shit that they made up (Left wingers make no sense to me, they think that Zionists & Nazis are the same thing because most Leftys don't actually understand anything.) but the Right wingers are just as hilarious
because they're trying to deny that Elon was indeed signaling his association with something
that's Nazi related. The Semreh in my fiction are meant to be crazy ass Nazis who live in an underworld Metropolis called Mars.
I even make it obvious during the first few sentences about Silver Zero special forces when it mentions that only a certain word was declassified.

Prelude:[/b]
I hate the way the internet categorizes power levels.
I often see stupid shit where Goku is labeled as beyond an omnipotent god
but Motoko Kusanagi is just barely above a street level power level
when we actually see the 300 pound cyborg Motoko exploding peoples'
heads off with just one punch.
Goku has never done that & that's because his universe is cartoony & isn't
meant to be taken seriously. Miss me with that cope of "DUUURR Goku wouldn't punch someone's
head off. That's against his ethics." That makes no sense because Goku's power level is
so high that merely breathing air would kill the average human around him.
That's why I don't take DBZ power scaling seriously at all.
When a Dragon Ball character dies, it's because
the story calls for it. Not because they sustained enough damage to die.
Dragon Ball characters absorb so much damage that would kill off most
characters in fiction that it's hard to predict what could actually kill a Dragon ball
character beyond the writer randomly deciding that it's time for them to die.
Dragon Ball franchise does not reflect realistic damage
while Motoko's Ghost in the Shell setting is fairly realistic, and is mostly probable in our real world
since Motoko doesn't really do anything that real life Spec-Ops wouldn't be able to achieve
aside for her aforementioned ability to project enough physical force to punch heads off.
Motoko can also fire & reload anti-tank guns one handed, which is still within the realm of
realistic believability because she's nearly an entirely machine-based cyborg.
We have a real world basis for what machines can do. We have no idea what alleged aliens
can pull off so the excuse that Dragon Ball characters are aliens doesn't work for me
within any context outside of a piece of fiction that's written for children.
On internet, I also see dumb power level rankings where they rank Maki Sonomura AKA Mary
from the video game Persona 1 as a near God Creator tier, simply because she created a world
with her own mind. What this fails to understand is that Persona is
based off of real world philosophic teachings of Hermeticism
where it is believed that all is mind & that we exist, because we think.
We created everything that we perceive. Had we not perceived it, it wouldn't exist.
Some gamers have misinterpreted Maki's powers of creation (that we're all born with.)
as an ethereal alien-like power that even goes above Dragon Ball Z's Goku.
At least with the original PS1 Persona games, the power levels are fairly realistic
(when compared to random nonsensical bullshit like Dragon Ball Z where the power
levels merely reflect higher numbers but the numbers don't amount to anything
remotely logical, or realistic.)
because they're just everyday teens who are being empowered by gods & demons fueled by their inner selves aka Persona.
The Persona students merely have high will power, imagination & intuition but their projection of power isn't their own.
Gods & Demons can be interpreted as just the power of creation or power fueled by intent hidden within the human soul.
A Persona characters' projection of force are just contracts from gods & demons who aid the Persona kids
in combat, but the kids themselves are just using their bodies as a host.
It's a symbiotic relationship which allows the Persona kids' minds to tap into
godly & demonic powers who are in reality, just passing through our material world
within a temporary merged psychic-trance state where the Persona kids are evoking emotions
from the depths of their consciouness which physically takes form as the
gods & demons that they have initiated a pact with.
This is why the main character of Heretic Hydra / Pandora Eve, Aina Bria
is both a low Tier 1 & a Tier 10 maximum threat.
[img]https://i.postimg.cc/cJN9kq1s/Aina2-Cooot.gif[/img]
Her source of power follows the same
logic as a human character from a Shin Megami Tensei game where they're basically
just humans who have business relations with Gods & Demons.
Aina is a bit different because she's born with a highly intuned relationship to
ancestor gods but through an occult sacrificial mishap, she was also unintentionaly
given the ability to summon gods & demons that she shares no default affinity with.
The difference between her & someone from a SMT or Persona is that a Persona character
is just amplifying inner-emotions that animate into an evoked God or Demon. SMT human characters
are generally sacrificing or trading a source of energy that allows Gods & Demons to
physically emerge in the material world for a limited time.
Demifiend & Nahobino aren't human so they're able to naturally summon Gods & Demons
as allies or a part of their army, because they share the same density level as the Gods.
Aina is the source of energy or uncreation, which in a way could be considered as a god
but she's meant to represent that all humans have the ability to create.
They just choose not to or are unable to because they do not think.
They live life on auto-pilot wage slavery.
Creation of reality generally takes the form of an Egregore when a large
group of true believers have assembled underneath the same Gods until the cult
eventually evolves into a religion, and then a civilization.
Note: I'm well aware that this sounds somewhat like what SJWs/Wokesters think they do, but
they're not empowered by any gods. They don't even believe that anything exists
beyond the material realm. They're empowered by false hope.
IMO their efforts are absorbed by Ahriman which is why Social Justice Warrior society
is one of extreme authoritarian control.
Aina's cult HeritkS, is empowered by her delusion that she's from Earth.
We, the audience know for a fact that Earth or the realm that we call Earth exists because we live in it.
It's Aina Bria's ability to recall memories & feelings of other lives which are amplified
by her spiritual relationships to demiurge-tier beings that allows her to both
exist as just an early 20 something yr old bimbo who also has a projection of force that goes beyond the gods' infinite potential,
because her thoughts are classified as equal to or even beyond the world's human collective consciousness.
Her power comes from her intuition, her delusion that she's from the planet Earth.
She believes that she's from Earth so much that the world around her rewrites
the scripts of her potential future just to conform with what she intuitively believes to be true.
What the Gods create through thought, Aina will erase with her own thoughts.
This is the origin of pandemonium (divine chaos), the will of gods is being
disrupted by a human female who can erase or reprogram the will of gods
to conform with her own heretical errant delusions.
The Threat Tier list aka Risk Ranks reflects the danger levels of people who get caught within the crossfire
of Gods creating & deleting reality through mere thoughts while humans do what they always do,
trying to solve every single problem in the world through guns & weapons of mass destruction.
[b]Threat Tiers in-game:[/b]
The Creator God is not ranked, and would be considered as too infinitely above human comprehension.
The character Hidden Glory who is based off of Jesus or the Christ Conciousness would be classified as a Tier 10+++ threat if he directly
interacted with the world of Talamh but he does not. The Hidden Glory merely observes but will rarely interfere if The Hidden Glory knows that
it is necessary to visit Talamh from outside of the Polarian-Mirror. The Nariphon Sacrifice was one such occasion where The Hidden Glory changed the
trajectory of power from the Polarian Goddess Asherah, back on to Aina Bria.
Aina is herself an avatar of Sophia (Celesterra) & Asherah, The Two Divine Feminine who were excised
and retconned out of the Nicene Creed. Do not confuse an Avatar for a Polarian-Caste.
A Polarian-Caste is a God reborn as a Human. Aina's body is merely the host or a beacon of the Gods.
Each + signifies an amplifier. (Polarian-Caste, Ancestral-Transcendant, & The Architect)
The plus signs are to be read as a Cross. So Tier 10+++ is a Calvary or a 10 Cross Trinity.
Carmilla Xiomara (The Goddess Kali who is a mass consciouness that overides the bodies of humans.)
is the only other figure aside for The Hidden Glory who is also a Tier 10+++.
Only The Hidden Glory is able to maintain a Cross Trinity between realms.
Carmilla is merely a Cross Trinity within the world of Talamh where she was supposed to function
as a referee to the Demiurge or Realm Master, but she killed the Realm Master and purposely left
the position vacant. Anyone who tried to appoint a new Realm Master was immediately deposed or killed.
Larry Phoenix is a Threat Tier 1+++ Cross Trinity which makes him equal to a base level 10 threat
in terms of influence. What he can't accomplish physically, he can easily engineer society to do his bidding for him.
A Cross Trinity is worth 9 extra levels. Two + is worth 4. A single + is worth one extra level.
The Protagonist Aina Bria eventually becomes a Tier 10++ TR60 threat during the ending, but in-game she's
just Tier 9+ TR18 (A High-God, Ancestral-Transcendent).
Aina is born as an Ancestral-Transcendent but is also one of the only living entities in
existence who has the power to create, The Architect.
The Vampire Pimp Drakken is a Tier 9 who has the potential to move up to Tier 10, if
he cared enough to influence the masses into worshipping him, but he doesn't care.
Even if he did, he'd just be a base-level Tier 10 with zero amplifiers.
Most Tier 10s have no amplifiers at all and are simply Gods or God-like beings who have
a fanatical religion of loyalists who empower them beyond Godhood.
Miyabi Kagura is a Tier 10+ TR20 threat (The Architect, the rarest & most valuable amplifier),
but she can't complete a Cross Trinity since she's purely or mostly machine and can't
ever be reborn as a Polarian-Caste.
Kagura is humanity's attempt at creating God to replace the lack of a Talamh Realm Master.
Tier 10s without a cross are leagues below Tier 10s who have a cross or three.
+ = x2, Double Cross ++ = x6, Cross Trinity +++ = x20
A Tier 9 with Double Cross amplifiers (TR9++ = TR50) is above a base-level Tier 10 threat
but is completely outmatched by a Tier 10 Cross Trinity (TR10+++ = TR200) threat.
The word God within the context of threat tiers refers to those of superhuman abilities that are above collective human output,
but can still be mostly comprehended by a human mind.
This threat tier power level list is meant to ressemble a real life
danger threat assessment categorization so any entity who can create universes
just by merely existing or anyone who is above a demiurge in terms of power projection
are all thrown into the same class because they fall within the category of phenomenon that
defies human comprehension.
This is why for the first 7 tiers, it just sounds like they're
describing generic humans with guns who merely have better training & conditioning then previous levels.
Tier 8 - 10 is when the threat assessments begin to describe unfathomble talents
that are not normally possible for a human to acheive, and is considered as above peak human.
In real life, all humans can only raise their abilites up to a certain point during the prime
of their life which is generally in your 20s-35, beyond 35 the avg human's peak potential steadily dwindles
below the human peak of high 80s.
Even with this in mind, an average prime top level athlete or soldier would still only be in
the upper 80s of skill, talent, strength & intellect with only genetic
anomalies & freaks being able to break through the 90s or even the 100 barrier within a scale of 1 - 100
with 100 being considered as the peak of human capability. What seperates top prime fighters from just
a prime fighter is that those at the top generally have at least one talent that's above 90.
I use examples of popular widely known boxers to help illustrate the point that the
threat assessments are trying to describe.
For someone like Floyd Mayweather, its his tactical thinking, reach & positioning that
nobody within his weight class can match.
Muhammad Ali is generally considered high (as in high 80s) in every single category so he's just solid
all around. Mike Tyson would be mid to high 80s all around except for strentgh which is at least 94.
While he is known for having low stamina, it's more the case that his boxing style exerts too much
energy. If you were to pit Tyson against a normal person, his stamina would still appear infinitely godlike,
even if his stamina would realistically be low to mid 80s.
Look at the difference in conditioning between Bob Sapp in contrast to Mike Tyson. You see a clear
difference between a godlike athlete with top tier stamina when compared with Bob Sapp's impressive
size but fairly average stamina. It's only when you see lesser fighters breathe that you realize
just how god-like the top prime athletes are, because you rarely ever see them out of breath.
If they existed in the Heretic Hydra universe, Ali & Tyson would be Tier 4.
Mayweather a Tier 3. He could've been higher but his style of fighting would only work in a sports setting & someone
his size would get easily wrecked in a real fight against a much larger or bulkier opponent
who also disregards queensberry rules. You take away queensberry rules, Floyd becomes an
average man because his fighting prowess is centered around his mastery of a contained
& organized fighting environment. Bob Sapp is also Tier 3, while he's nowhere close to being
the fighter that Floyd is. It's Bob's sheer size combined with his traning
that puts him at a tier 3 danger level. In real life, the feet & fists of
top martial artists & fighters are legally considered as a weapon so that places
them as a tier 2 threat by default.
The tiers are created with the belief that anybody who is above 90 with an average near or above 95
out of 100 in terms of overall fighting ability, are almost always either directly employed
as expendable government assassins or in some very rare cases they work within the criminal underworld.
I've never seen much evidence for the latter. I've always gotten the impression that in real life,
criminal underworld assassins are simply people who have zero morals & zero concept of loyalty,
who merely befriend the targets (to catch them off guard.) before liquidation.
Mafia (organized crime) hitmen in real life are generally just tier 2 threats
who do not expect the target to fight back.
An MI6 assassin or a Navy Seal is at minimum a tier 5 threat, as are similar assets who
directly work for the government. The aforementioned Motoko Kusanagi would be classified
as a Tier 7 threat. Motoko's Man Machine Interface variant would be a Tier 8 Lower-God.
Note: The actual Threat Ranks in the Heretic Hydra setting go beyond the human scale, so a 100% Peak human would only be registered
as a 70% tiered threat in the Heretic Hydra setting, where Gods & Demons exists. 80 - 100 are reserved for divine forces
or higher tech. The mid to upper 70 range accounts for human anomalies who aren't quite divine or techno-based.
Threat Rank:
Polarian Gods are not graded because they don't exist inside the realm of Talamh.
+ (Cross) signs represent one of the 3 amplifiers,
Polarian-Caste, Ancestral-Transcendent or The Architect.
You have to be born a Polarian-Caste and can't ever earn it within a single life.
Architect is the rarest Cross sign and only afforded to those
who wield the power of creating life from nothing.
Ancestral-Transcendent is contractual but some people are born with
an innate affinity to certain Gods and might be able to forego a contract altogether.
Polarian-Caste is a God reborn in the bodies of humans.
An Ancestral-Transcendent functions like an avatar who uses their
body as a host for Gods who may or may not assert full control over the host's physical body.
A character with all 3 + has a Cross Trinity, which multiplies their
threat rank by 20. A character with two + has a Double Cross that
multiplies their threat rank by 6. One + Cross multiplies their threat rank by 2.
Lucifer, Lilith, Kagura & Larry Phoenix are all at TR 20 by default, despite Larry being
a mere Lvl 1 Tiered Threat while Lucifer, Kagura & Lilith are all Tier 10s with at least one + Cross.
Larry Phoenix is the one other character who has a Cross Trinity so his Threat upgrades to a TR 20.
Carmilla is at TR 200, which is why she's so overpowered and why
most people don't even bother to directly confront her.
Aina Bria is the 2nd most powerful player within the Realm of Talamh
at a TR 60 with a base level of 10++ Double Cross 75%.
Threat Rankings are capped at level 9 High-Gods which is the same
TR required to be a Realm Master & is also the TR of the Demiurge.
The Demiurge is a Title bestowed to those in between TR 9 & TR 10.
TR 10 is used as an extra category to catalog threats who are beyond Gods or beyond reality.
The Cross Amplifiers are multipliers that visualize how far beyond gods that a specific character is.
On a surface level, Henrik Dullahan appears to be equal to other level 10s,
but he has no Cross sign at all so he's actually even below that of
Threat Rank 8+ Esmeralda Luna, whose base level is multiplied by 2 giving her
an overall Rank of TR 16.
Henrik Dullahan represents the strongest human, but he's still just a
human who is merely described as a god. It's ironic that Henrik is more powerful
than a Demiurge but is also completely outmatched by genuine Gods from Beyond the Polarian-Mirror.
The Cross signs are often an indication that a character is a
god reborn as a human, an avatar of gods, or an Architect, one who designs & devises.

Threat Assessment is also judged by these additional criterias:
Projection of Power
RIVIDA or TIVIDA
Radiance: This scores your aptitude towards etheral forces.
Radiance is replaced with Technology if the former doesn't apply.
Miyabi Kagura would be over 100% Tech but below 0% Radiance.
Carmilla & Aina score 100% in Radiance.
Lomratalia is about 90% in Tech and 30% in Radiance so you grade her by the higher value between Tech & Radiance & discard the lower number.
Influence: This is a score of how much resources you have at your disposal.
Carmilla Xiomara & Larry Phoenix would score over 100% since they own & operate multiple corporations & even multiple countries.
Miyabi Kagura & Aleister Wolster are at 90%-98% since they own their own cultures, country, & people. Wolster is bolstered up to 98% since
the Semreh Mars Metropolis own plenty of soft power because it is precisely their tech that is mostly used
to keep the world's population complacent and obedient.
The Kagura are at 94%. Kagura have high tech (mostly just revisions of borrowed tech from Calgatha & Semreh), & a formidable military force,
and own a country with a distinct culture, but they live on a worthless island that barely has any useful natural resources so their main source of income
is from tourism, their entertainment industry & their private military companies.
Henrik Dullahan the Emperor of Calgatha would be at 65%.
They have the ability to acquire more resources through war since Calgathan's have the
2nd highest tech after the Semreh & USA alliance and the highest war tech that they horde to keep the knowledge
of the weapons away from those who would abuse or sell the power.
Henrik's resource score remains relatively low when compared to other rulers because
they have next to no influence in modern Talamh society and many people assume that they're just a legend anyway.
A character like Rex Salvador The Tyrant Rex would have a resource score of 20%.
He commands an army of police officers that number at only 2 or 3 if you include himself but Rex commands a decent amount
of street cred and one of the officers that he leads over (Janet Castillo) is a fairly famous digital influencer.
Rex is sometimes a guest at her podcast.
The protagonist Aina Bria's Influence score is about 80% since she's a rich spoiled bitch
and is also an immensely popular digital celebrity.
Aina doesn't lead a country but she does have a million man army of fanatical simps
who are about equal in numbers & economic value to several countries combined.

The avg score is added on top of the base threat tier lvl in order
to gauge how high you are placed within that threat tier.
This is the Rpg Maker configuration of the ruleset since rm2k is extremely limited I'm
forced to limit the Rivida stats into 3, with 1 stagnant stat (Turn phase) that's made up just for the rm2k conversion.
[quote]Attack= Vigor
Defense= Willpower
Mind = Perception
Agility= Turn Phase
Turn Phase is inherited and can't be changed.[/quote]
Tier 1:Civilian
Tier 2: Trained Civilian, Security or Athlete
Tiers 1 & 2 are 99% of the world population.
Aina Bria's main love interest is a Tier 2 Mafia associate, Chucky Barone.
What's amusing is that characters within the higher tiers can & will masquerade themselves
as Tier 1 or 2 threats to avoid detection & termination by the ULA United Liberty Association.
Tier 3: SWAT team or Pro Athlete.
This is the lowest tier of threats who are considered dangerous.
The majority of the Imperio Empire Mafiaso that you meet are at Tier 2 or 3.
(Imperio is a country that was formerly Italy who are a mixture of modern Italy, the Romance countries of Spain, Italy, France & Portugal & the fall of Rome.)
Vinny DeRosa is a Gustavo Mafiaso who starts as a Tier 3 threat but he becomes a Tier 7 Demi-God after he is cybernetically enhanced when he was personally recruited
by the Sentient AI Miyabi Kagura (Based off of Phantasy Star's Mother Brain & Man Machine Interface Motoko Kusanagi.)
into the Kaguran SDP (Self-Defense Prosperity) Divison 9 Counter Intelligence & Insurgency Unit led by Ryuji Takemura (Who is based off of Sorpano's Uncle Junior & Ghost in the Shell's Aramaki.)
Tier 4: US Marines or Top Pro Athlete. At this level, threats begin to behave with far more tactical efficency.
Every tier starting from 4 & above are to be considered as tactical geniuses.
These are the Mike Tysons & Muhammad Alis of the world. Although a Marine would typically liquidate
a pro athlete with next to no effort. There exists some athletes who have near godlike abilities that
can make them a somewhat equal threat. They (Top Athletes) do not have the same training that a hired killer does so they
still would rank lower than a battle hardened marine infantry, but a top world class athlete would still be far more dangerous than
the avg athlete or a single individual from a swat tactical unit. DoomGuy was originally written as a tier 4 threat marine
but in-game he was always more of a tier 6 & is about an 8 during Eternal.
In Heretic Hydra, most of the geopolitical military forces peak at Tier 4, requiring specialized projects & assassins
to tap into Tier 5 and the upper tiers. The entirety of the world is governed & policed by Tier 4s.
Tier 5: Marine Raider, MARSOC, Navy Seal, Hitman, Professional Assassin. They're at peak-human of ability or near it.
Ex. James Bond, Golgo 13, Spike Spiegel, Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield ,John Mclane the average Call of Duty or Fallout protag falls within this range.
Many Tier 5s are just Tier 4s who have survived plenty of battles & gradually became more dangerous due to experience.
Depending on the Resident Evil game, RE protagonists can be classified as Tier 6 Demi-gods but they're usually written as
tier 4s with the exception of Leon, Ada Wong & Chris who seem to be firmly written within the Tier 5 category.
The majority of the operatives & warriors witin Heretic Hydra are at Tier 6.
Most notable example is Omarr Philips who is generally regarded as the elite of the elites & he is used as a plot device to seperate
the difference in sheer power between that of humans, machine & gods with non-cybernetically or non-divinely enhanced humans at the complete bottom of the hierarchy.
Tier 5 represents the peak of human mind & body but still require a well organized support team to pull off a slightly similar projection of force as a lower demi-god.
Vinny's former boss, Augustus Gustavo (Based off of Tony Soprano) of the Gustavo Mafia Family is also recruited as an intelligence officer for the SDP Division 9.
Augustus is a natural Tier 5 threat despite his lack of military training or experience in warfare.
Augustus is an example of an individual who would normally be a Tier 2 threat but his sheer force of will & charisma
& his street smart tactical know-how have him placed at the same threat asessment level of a tier 5 Spec Ops assassin.
Not because he's on their level in terms of fighting ability, but because Augustus presents a random variable
that's hard to accurately calculate especially when his natural talents are amplified by the guidance of the hardened war veterans,
Miyabi Kagura & Ryuji Takemura.
Whomever was left of Gustavo's clan after his Mafia Family were targeted for liqudation by the USA (Union Society of Acquiessence)
Public Security Aides (who are just an over glorified dystopian Global SWAT team squad based off of Jin-Roh & Nazi Gestapo.)
were all later recruited into the Kagura (A Technocractic island country that was known as Japan.) Military force and are utilized as
field operatives & teachers in direct warfare & espionage. Kagura has a distinct lack of men so they try to acquisition as many viable men as possible, from
other countries. This is why many of Kagura's highest ranking officers & operatives are of foreign descent.
Ragnar Lekander (based off of Mike Haggar/Don Frye & GITS Batou) is Miyabi Kagura's De Facto 2nd in command & field commander
who is in charge of the most important field, psychological & counter-terrorist operations.
Ragnar is of the Semreh Mars ethnicity but has been excommunicated by Mars Metropolis. Since he is of Mars descent,
he could be considered as a Tier 9 threat but he's not allowed to use or be supplied with Mars weaponry so long as he's employed
with the Kagura. Ragnar can reunite with the Brethren of Mars if he ever so wishes, but he doesn't seem interested.
He is supplied with state of the art Kagura tech, which makes him at least a Tier 8 threat when amplified with
his base abilities.
Most Kagura operatives are somewhere between Tier 5 - Tier 7 due to cybernetic enhancement & the Miyabi Kagura Articial Intelligence who
aids them as part of their support team. While technically the Kagura could be considered as more militarsiticly powerful than
the rest of the human nations, they lack a serious supply of man power so they function more as an isolated hub of commerce who trade & sell
with USA & Carthay as their main exporters. The reality is that Kagura is just a useless rock of land with no valuable resources
and would've been taken over long ago had the AI God Miyabi Kagura not taken over, restored order & created a military force that's near
impossible to invade but also has practically no ability to attack or invade outside of specialized military operations
During Carmilla's reign as the God of the world, the Kagura sided with the USA, who are the main representative of Carmilla's influence.
When the Vladar invade to mediate against Carmilla,
the Vladar enter a mutually beneficial relationship with Kagura, which in turn classifies Miyabi Kagura as the new main antagonist
because she's a Material God in place of the world's God (Demiurge & Carmilla Xiomara.)
This is the part of the story where the world enters an extremly polarized East Vs West conflict because Xiomara still commands the entirety
of the Western world. Kagura only controls Kagura but they're aided by Demonic-looking Alien beings (Vladar) who help them repel
against the attacks of the West. The other Eastern nations such as Carthay (China) & Prava (Russia) are just watching from the sidelines as they
try to indirectly sabotage both world orders
This causes an opening for the two breakaway DemiGod civilizations, Calgatha Empire & Semreh Mars Metropolis to try and
take over parts of the Western Allied powers, but as usual they end up wasting all of their time killing off each other since they're
the two cultures with the most superior weaponry & technology. It doesn't help that Carmilla has always had
long-form plans to genocide the superhumans but she only kept them around to terrorize & manipulate the world populace into worshipping her, which
increases her nearly infinite projection of power.
Tier 6: Lower DemiGod. A glass cannon who can solo entire armies & the world's top assassins & soldiers.
They generally have high luck to make up for their typical human frailities & mortality.
Their proficency with firearms, martial arts & melee weapon-based combat are at a level
above the world's top athletes & soldiers.
Although their fighting prowess may seem godlike, they're still just a human who can easily be killed.
Examples: John Wick, John Matrix, John Rambo, The Punisher, The Beekeeper,
Agent 47, Max Payne, Solid Snake, The Equalizer
In Heretic Hydra, the tier 7s are generally every Cathay or Prava operative that we meet
The average citizen of Carthay or Prava are only Tier 1 but we're shown a skewed perception of their military
might since we only ever meet the Eastern Military Projects who don't officially exist.
Tier 7s are so specialized that they're rarely used in military conflicts & are mostly used for assassinations
& gathering reconnaissance. The 2 most notable are Carthay's Korean John Wick, Ji-Min Rhee & the USA's Wetwork operative The Sinister7.
We usually meet them after or during their missions but they're neutral to you for the most part, since you're not a part of the
mission, and they'll often describe you (Aina Bria) as a glitch in the system.
Tier 7: DemiGod. They have the same advantages as tier 6 except they have high durability & can sustain injuries
that would kill a normal human. This tier also includes those who have high durability due to their
high-level of tech such as Ironman, Dr. Doom or Samus Aran.
Androids such as The Terminator or Cyborgs like Ghost in the Shell's Motoko Kusanagi & Bato fall
into this tier, since they are made of high technology but they also have high military prowess due
to their war experience in both World War 3 & 4.
In the Heretic Hydra setting, people of the Red-Haired Calgathan
ethnicity are born with highly durable skin (Which is why the men & women are barely clothed & see no need for it.),
and they also have access to ancient futuristic-techs that they horde for
themselves within their breakaway civilization. A non-Calgathan wouldn't understand how to use their antiquatech anyway.
Tier 8: Lower God. These are generally people who have god-like or super natural abilities but have
a lower energy source that prevents them from being infinitely fueled with power like a true God.
Often times, these beings are just Gods who share a body with a human host. So by nature their power
must be limited otherwise they risk damaging or killing their host-body.
In other cases, they're just people who are highly trained in dark or arcane arts so they have transcended into
a semi God-like state where the Gods that they pay tribute to assist their bodies & have granted them boons
to their base abilities.
In Heretic Hydra, one of the highest tier characters you play as is a Carthay Assassin called Jiao Zeng.
She's the quintessential example of a Tier 8 because she needs to be constantly supplied with an energy source
to stay at TR 8. Without a constant stream of energy,
she reverts down to a TR 5 which puts her on par with Military Elite Special Forces.
Sigmund Bron is an example of a Tier 8 Lower God but is actually a Demigod Human who is deified as a god due to cargo cult perceptions of reality.
Since he's from the one other race of Demigods. I'll use this time to elaborate more on his society, Semreh Mars Metropolis.
He's a human, but classified as a God because his base abilities far exceed that of any human as are most people of Bron's race, The Martians or Brethren of Mars.
Also known as Cult of Mars or Disciples of Mars.
Aina Bria is a diaspora of the Mars people & is also the reason why she's able to tap into & befriend the Celesterra pressence.
Aina doesn't consider herself as one of the Mars people so they act as tertiary antagonists for the entire game.
Her mother Aya Bria (who long disowned her.) is an extremely xenophobic nationalistic loyalist of Mars,
as is Aina's birth father whose identity isn't known outside of Mars Metropolis.
Her father loves her unconditionally & allows her to live as she pleases, even though he does not approve.
She doesn't even know who her dad is anyway.
Bron is from a Blonde hair, Blue eyed Aryan-inspired breakaway race who came from an underworld metropolis that they call
Mars. They're a supergenius intellectual race of high technologically advanced people who are built like Greek Gods who
have devoted their entire existence to war. For them war is both of the mind & body so while they're Blonde & exaggeratedly muscular
like Dragon Ball Z's Super Saiyans, they prefer to wage war through subversion & manipulation. They often masquerade
as citizens of the USA (Unified Sovereigns of Arpartias).
They generally work in tandem with the United Liberty Alliance.
They only view 3 countries as threats.
The Cathay (China & Korea led by a guy who ressembles Shao Kahn)
The Heavenly Prava (Who are meant to be Russian Slavic Eastern European Vampire Nobility lead by a Putin lookalike.)
Heavently Prava and Cathay aren't focused on much, because they're written as plot devices who imply an incoming geopoltical threat. (Which never happens because Carmilla rules over them too, their only purpose is to inspire the fear of invasion.)
We only ever see meetings with the leadership and cross paths with assassins from their two countries in the actual game.
(A Korean John Wick lookalike, JiMin Rhee. A Prava Cathay hybrid girl who looks like a vampire, Jiao Zeng. Two huge Russian dudes who are based off of Ivan Drago & Scott Adkins.)
The Calgatha Empire is the main threat to Semreh Mar's ambitions.
Calgthans aren't anywhere near as intelligent as the Brethren of Mars but
Calgatha's physical & military might far exceeds even the people of Mars Metropolis.
Calgathans are far more primal, animalistic, and function more like the Genghis Khan Mongol hordes but powered by radiant energy guns instead of horses & bows.
Their technological level is nearly on par with Mars Metropolis but Semreh Mars Metropolis funds & distributes tech of commerce, entertainment & art, as well as war.
Calgathans are also supergenius level, but they're single minded & only fund tech into their architecture, tactics, & war machine.
Violence is their artistic expression.
Calgatha hoard their specialized ancient tech & mostly keep it to themselves.
Semreh Mars Metropolis in contrast subverts, spies & controls the world via their tech that they share with the entire planet.
Mars Metropolis have a close relationship with Carmilla & her family the house of Xiomara.
In public this is shown as a partnership between her billionaire father Gabrielle & the King of Mars, Aleister Wolster.
In private the Mars people work directly under Carmilla and they are sponsored by the God's Mars, Ahriman & YHWH.
Carmilla is merely keeping her enemies close, because her mother Asherah (The Whore of the Citadel.) wants revenge on YHWH.
YHWH, Ahriman & Asherah are all Polarians but as Polarians they can't directly confront each other.
They have to do it through the human world via their playing pieces, actual humans dying & killing in their name.
The Red Hair Calgathans are inspired by Hypoborean, The Blonde Hair Martians are inspired by Aryans.
Tier 9: A God. Anyone with omnipotent superhuman capabilities & powers.
There isn't any rhyme or reason as to how Gods came into being, they just are.
For this Threat Assessment ranking,
a God is labeled as anyone who you have come into contact with but have little or no means of fighting back because their
ability to project or deflect power far exceeds the amount of collective force that humanity can generate as a whole.
The strongest character you play as is a Tier 9+ (She graduates into a TR 10++ by the end of Pandora Eve), your main character Aina Bria.
Aina is a curious case because like Maribel(Lilith), Aina would naturally be identified as a Tier 1 threat.
Aina can't fight, she's not that athletic, she doesn't even know how to use a gun & doesn't even bother.
She can't even hold a baseball bat or blade correctly.
Aina seems pretty damn useless because she's also a stupid bimbo & a klutz, but her body is jointly used as a
host by Celesterra (who is believed to be an incarnation of Sophia from the Gnostic faiths) & Aina is
unintentionally empowered by the Nariphon Sacrifice.
Aina is also directly manipulated by one of the main villains, Carmilla Xiomara.
Carmilla exists above the Demiurge & she is considered the highest being within the visible human playing field,
but she's basically just an unfathomable anomaly who acts as the dungeon master or architect of her world.
Carmilla & Celesterra are both Aeons who directly control human avatars like pieces on a chessboard to do their bidding.
Celesterra shares her abilities with Aina at strategic oppurtune intervals to allow Aina to tank
damage that she normally wouldn't be able to survive as a normal human. Any damage that she tanks, she can reflect back.
Carmilla only intended to use Aina as part of the Nariphon Tree sacrifice, but due to a miracle by an entity known as The Hidden Glory.
Aina was moved a split second (into a higher spiritual density) away from the execution light field
(which killed everyone in the room including the Agent Dr. Swan who was hired to rescue her. The Hidden Glory chose to save Aina & her only.)
but due to this miscalculation (by a Carmilla underling.) it allowed Aina to absorb most of the energy of fear
& anquish of the sacrificed which granted her the ability to summon & control demons, angels & lesser gods.
The energy from the Nariphon Tree sacrifices were meant to fuel & summon the return of the Goddess Asherah.
(In the Heretic Hydra setting, Asherah is an exiled Polarian who are a race of Gods who exist at the highest echelons of Divinity. Asherah is Carmilla's mother.)
Aina benefits from both Celesterra amplifying Aina's base abilities and Carmilla accidentally gifting her the
ability to summon a lesser god/angel/demon army because she absorbed a collective life force that was meant to grant human life to a true God
A normal human would've been killed by the lifeforce because a human body can't handle that amount of power
but Celesterra was laying dormant within Aina's body & chose to finally reveal herself by sharing her etheric
shield to absorb most of the blast while still fueling Aina with enough excess life force that grants her the ability to summon entities.
The Kaguran female named Kamui Seika, is a TR 9+ precisely due to how she's a human who shares a symbiotic relationship with Japanese Goddesses & Empresses
who amplify her base abilities. Japanese is the ancient name for Kaguran. The Japs are nearly extinct in this setting due to a lack of young men breeding
and a mixture of cultural issues which led to the people not even believing in their own divinity anymore.
A new civilization called the Kagura have replaced the former-culture. They're composed of the remnants of the Japanese but the Japs are de-facto dead since they only have 1 man left named Miki who is
under 25 yrs old, but also happens to be gay & stuck inside an Island society that's nearly populated with all women. The rest of the surviving males are in their 40s or much older.)
Kagura is a High-Tech society that's governed by an AI Artificial Intelligence Goddess called Miyabi Kagura. (She's obviously based off of Motoko Kusanagi.)
The invading Alien-like race, The Vladar are a TR 9 who function as mediator or moderator types.
Although the Vladar aren't strong enough to fight back against Carmilla.
They can hurt her where it hurts most for her, by stealing her joy of instigating fear onto others.
When a Vladar inhabits the body of a human-host, the human becomes a zombie.
Carmilla can't manipulate a body whose soul has already been taken over.
Her only options are to kill the Vladar which also kills the human host
or she parleys & works out a truce that mostly benefits her.
Tier in between 9 & 10: Demiurge
This is just the entity who created & built the human material world that the game takes place in.
Before the game ever started, it was already taken over by Carmilla who exists as the Goddess Kali in human form.
Demiurge is a bratty loser who thinks, speaks & acts like a Redditor. He was born from Sophia. Sophia is Celesterra.
She uses the entire Mars race as potential bodies to live within. Celesterra initially intended to punish the Demiurge but the anomaly, Carmilla functions
more as the true ruler of this specific material reality.
Tier 10: Beyond Reality or Beyond Gods
[img]https://i.postimg.cc/6QrxS6g7/Carm-Heroine.jpg[/img]
The lowest of this tier are Aeons like Celesterra & Carmilla who are clearly above the Demiurge & the Demiurge is beyond everyone within Tier 1 - 9.
Entities within tier 10 exist outside of the system, so they take on roles more similar to that of a mediator, rule keeper, dungeon master, storyteller, architect, the director.
On a meta level, you the reader are Tier 10 because you exist outside of the reality of this piece of fiction.
The Gods within this fiction are also just playing & watching the narrative unfold.
Beyond Reality is treated like a Super Heavyweight fighting class in that there's no maximum cap
to their power.
Aina Bria can be labeled as Beyond Reality because her abilities are such a glitch in the reality system that she slips
through the fabrics of reality & the constraints of time because reality itself can't even comprehend the random inane stupidity of her existance.
This is what allows her the ability to exodus or rapture herself out of the material world.
Lilith (Maribel Cerisa) & Lucifer (Mamoru Sakuraba) are born as Tier 10 but will assume a lower state of consciousness & reality.
which allows them to inhabit & dwell within material human bodies as if it were their own.
Lucifer is much more talented at this because we have no idea what he looks like at all outside of his human shell.
Lilith still technically shares her body with Maribel, possibly due to Lilith's own lack of capability or
Maribel's sense of self being far too strong of an imprint to completely overwrite.
The character Maribel Cerisa who is technically a Tier 10+ is a human who shares her body with the Demon Lilith.
Or so they say, in actuality she's just Lilith. The girl who was Maribel is mostly dead now or her personality &
spirit have been completely rewritten or erased by Lilith. Lilith is a Tier 10 threat but she hides her power through
her Maribel Cerisa host-body who is by default a Tier 1 threat, but can be registered as high as Tier 10 due to either
being detected by an individial who has a high perception ability & can sense Lilith's dormant power, or Lilith herself
having trouble trying to keep up the facade of being a harmless Tier 1 Goth chick.
Unranked: The ALL, Creator God. The source of all existence & mind.
He's only represented as The Hidden Glory (Jesus) and has no speaking lines.
