@Sodium Nitrate Phosphorus Um, no, I don’t think I am able to do that.

Yes. I think it is good for a move.

Does it have more than or exactly three users?

@Cameron Washington No problem, anytime.

Fair enough.

You can fight for it to become a physiology if you want. No harm in that. Still, there are more staff members, and I am only saying that because, well, I don't think they will go by your request easily. You might need some good reasoning, or very good reasoning to make it happening.

And so far, your reasoning is not bad. It has some very good merits to it to me, but I do think there could be more to it if you want the Deity page to become a physiology. Just saying, and no offense to you with any of what I just said.

And that is a problem as to why?

Archetypes are also a collection of powers, a power set, that is; for any character. Given what deity means, I think Deity could work better as an archetype than a physiology. Physiology means "the way a living organism functions". I am not sure that would cover a deity and its powers as much as an archetype would. Sure, a physiology can include different powers, but with the definition of physiology and comparing this site's definition of archetype, I would say archetype would be a better fit. Physiology is more physical, while deities are more supernatural than physical, by the way.

As for the shapeshifting part, I was bringing it up to make a point, as unnecessary as it may be.

Well, there are so many kinds of bodies a deity can take, to the point that to me, physiology is not enough to cover them all, but archetype is better. I mean, if a deity has more than one form, it is likely they could take one form at a time, which is shapeshifting, not necessarily a physiology power. Plus, I think the divine cells and blood would not be enough to make it a physiology, as with what I said about deities taking many forms.

Besides, a deity can be a deity of anything, and the Archetype:Deity page is more of an umbrella archetype for the other deity pages. Plus, what you see happening recently does not necessarily mean that is how an archetype works. There are other kinds of pages like Soldier, Scavenger, Police Officer, etc. that don't deal with the kind of details you mentioned.

I have to agree with @AzQth here with one or two of of his earlier posts. I mean, a deity's physiology is loosely defined, meaning it can be anything. Besides, some deities are basically nothing, being without an actual true form. I don't think the word "physiology" can apply to that, let alone the fact that deities can each have a different physiology. I do think archetype would cover Deity better for that reason, as well as the different types of deities that are already archetypes.

I would have to disagree. I'd say Absolute Condition covers what the user's body and mind can do, as it does not say anything about doing everything else, by which having super powers to the point of Complete Arsenal. It just covers things like intelligence, strength, speed, etc. Condition is about how fit the body or mind is. One of its definition is this...

"A person's or animal's state of health or physical fitness."

So even if it could use a better name, I still would think it applies to mental and physical capabilities and attributes. Capabilities does not necessary mean all capabilities here, and it can also mean...

"The extent of someone's or something's ability."

There are other definitions, but it says nothing about having super powers, and I am sure it means just existing abilities that the user already has, not what the user has that others do not have.

So I don't think there is a problem here, even if the page could use a better explanation. I say it is fine the way it is.

@Eliakub19 I saw your post just now. I am thinking Extended Force should be merged with Remote Interaction.

Alright, thanks, Eliakub19!

Anyway, how about these?

Circle Manipulation and Polygon Manipulation: the ability to manipulate circles and polygons (shapes with sides in them) respectively. Both would be sub-powers of Shape Manipulation.

Ah, thanks @Eliakub19 . Don’t know about Record Manipulation fully, but you are better at finding existing powers than Nicholas is. I did not know Fashion Manipulation existed.

That is the same thing as Knowledge Manipulation, except just physical information, or knowledge, alone.

Nicholas, this is kind of different. Knowledge Manipulation manipulates information. Database Manipulation deals with things that store information, not just the information in them.

Well, now those pages have been taken care of...for now. Holokami and I have taken care of the situation.
