Wow, that's a lot. XD Alright, lemme take this piece by piece.

"What is a quantum incursion ? How did Akira gain AR ? What are his incursion-based original powers ?"

Quantum incursions are my default explanation for superpowers in my content. Basically, quantum incursions are random fluctuations at the subatomic level, which lead to a butterfly effect that ends up opening a portal to another reality. These events are EXTREMELY unlikely, something like a .00000002% chance of it happening, and out of that probability, 98% of the time it just leads to the subject being vaporized by the wildly different physics of the other reality. However, extremely lucky subjects end up getting superpowers out of it, due to the different physics of the universe changing them at some fundamental level.

As for his AR, it was part of the power he'd gained from the quantum incursion, his original powerset.

"Can't he just shift away the Rinne-Sharingan rather than close his eye ?"

Good catch! I was actually about to fix that. I put that there when his powerset was slightly different. Thanks for bringing that to my notice.

"If I get it right, Akira's Rule Bending would have to empirically rework/update its correcting effect to every new set of universal laws (any different universe he treavels to) so his powers may properly function in each of them. Such a complex task may take some time even for him, which would leave him dangerously vulnerable in a foreign environment with potentially life-threating dangers."

Not really. His rule bending works by erecting a personalized reality bubble around himself, which constantly holds him to the set of physical laws that his body is used to at the subatomic level. He'd programmed his powers to instantaneously keep this reality bubble up so he doesn't end up being atomized in a universe where strong magnetic forces don't exist, for example. The physics kept within the bubble are constant and changed only by himself.

Plus, y'know, his Personal Probability Manipulation allows him to immediately shrug off the detrimental effects should his reality bubble fail.

"The Absolute Speed has a very Flash-like vibe ^ ^ I can't help wondering though, how does his physical structure manage to withstand the immense physical forces that come along, let along operate so comfortable at such speeds ? Akira doesn't seem to have something like the Flash's Speed Force, that allows him to shrugg the technical details."

Hadn't thought about it, really. I'd probably just say it's his reality bubble, where he internally alters the physics to make the forces that would potentially tear him apart. But there's probably a better explanation I can come up with, so standby.

"How did he gain his Meta Crafting ability ? Considering its incredible versatility and OP potential, doesn't it end up making his other abilities redundant and obsolete, seeing he can craft superior versions and godlike items with little more than a thought ?"

His Meta Crafting is an extension of his Evolving Absorbing Replication. I wouldn't necessarily consider it a separate ability. All of the things he meta crafts are the result of internally memorized data, evolved and transmuted into whatever he finds suitable at the moment.

"I like the cyber applications of Themeium, I always thought cybernetics were overrated because all they really do is gradually turn a human into a robot piece by piece, so it would be better to just digitalize the human's consciousness and transfer it into a robotic body altogether. Much cleaner and more efficient, since any part can be replaced and upgraded without any trouble."

Indeed! And although mind uploading was present in my past sci-fi, I'm very skeptical of it now a days. If it were a thing, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't involve actually uploading the mind of the subject, and simply copying their consciousness into a digital format, leaving the original subject within their inescapably mortal body.

"How does the seamlessness of Themeium operate cyber-augmentation wise ? Does it turn the mecanical parts into biological equivalents and integrate them after implantation ? Does it turn the subject into a synthetic imitation of human biology so it may integrate implants as if they were organs ?"

The second one! Specifically, themeium fuses with biological parts at the subatomic level, imbuing them with an essence that makes them more "elastic". This changes the the fundamental activity of atoms within the biological part, destabilizing them as much as necessary for them to stably atomically bond with the mechanical part and allowing it to perfectly integrate into the body.

The idea came from Structure Gel from this videogame called SOMA, which can do the same thing, but the science-y stuff isn't explained.

"Akira Evolution Network ! Now, the coolness is strong in this one ^ ^ Love the ability tree and point system, it brings back all the fun side of RPG-like character evolution. Meta Crafting and Absorbing Replication and definitely a killer combo, perhaps a little too much for Akira's own sake actually, as he can now self-evolve limitlessly without any external input or further learning, which is bound to seriously amputate his exploring drive and overall meaning of life."

That is mitigated by the fact that Akira paces himself. He's smart enough to know that becoming too powerful is bound to make things maddeningly boring for him. So, to compensate, he has programmed his level to "restart" every time he reaches a certain level of power. At level one, he starts off blank, with the weakest variations of his power, and through the point-and-level system, he gains levels to get to the power he truly is, which he can restart anytime he wishes so that he doesn't get bored.

Of course, if he's ever put in some serious danger, he can simply up his levels through sheer will and fight on the level of the enemy.
