- "The Monad is a monarchy with nothing above it. It is he who exists as God and Father of everything, the invisible One who is above everything, who exists as incorruption, which is in the pure light into which no eye can look. “He is the invisible Spirit, of whom it is not right to think of him as a god, or something similar. For he is more than a god, since there is nothing above him, for no one lords it over him. For he does not exist in something inferior to him, since everything exists in him. For it is he who establishes himself. He is eternal, since he does not need anything. For he is total perfection. A being can have a relationship with a God but not the Monad as that would be a contradiction."
- ― Apocryphon of John, c. 180
- "God is a being of transcendent and unlimited perfections: his nature therefore is incomprehensible to finite spirits."
- ― George Berkeley

Capabilities
The user transcends absolutely anything and everything. This includes all dimensions, life/death, beginning/ending, concepts/ideas/principles, creation/destruction, boundaries, context, potential, possibilities/variables, levels of reality, existence/nonexistence, perfection/levels of perfection, embodiments, their personal status, being/non-being etc.
It may be impossible to categorize or find an exact description for them in any way as they can exist completely above and beyond all classification and definition. They are unbound and are free to defy absolutely all things; even logic itself.
Usually, users of this power are limitless, eternal, timeless existences with no beginning nor end and are beyond the notion of personality and individuality. They cannot be grasped or understood as a concept at the core of themselves. Users are also distinguished from the totality of all existence as their very being completely out-classes it. Comparing the user to everything else would be like comparing a grain of sand to infinity. Thus, the user holds truly unfathomable power greatly exceeding that which exists within the framework of their world.
While they may transcend all things and nothing can apply to them unless they wish it too, they may also not be truly all-powerful beings.

Transcending Everything.
God (Abrahamic Religions) transcends all things. This includes the entire universe, heaven, hell, earth, every man, beast, and all manner of spiritual beings, angelic or demonic.
The Tao (Taoism) is understood as the eternally nameless underlying natural order of the Universe whose ultimate essence is difficult to circumscribe due to it being non-conceptual yet evident in one's being of aliveness, When at the core of itself cannot be expressed or understood in language.
Tian (Zhou Theology) is the supreme power reigning over everything.
.jpg "SCP-3812 - A Voice Behind Me (SCP Foundation).jpg (38 KB)")
SCP-3812 - A Voice Behind Me (SCP Foundation) unfathomably towers above anything/everything that transcends above it, even taller than itself. If anything becomes more powerful than it then by the definition of its narrative it will instantly become even more powerful than that being/thing in every way.
The Source (DC Comics) is the source of all that exist. It is what created "The Hands", super celestial beings who in turn created infinite multiverses within The Overvoid and thus transcends everything in DC Comics.
The Presence (DC Comics) is mentioned to be the same or connected to The Source...

Monitor-Mind The Overvoid (DC Comics) is the conscious greater omniversal void as well as the canvas of all creation that transcends and encompasses all created multiverses in it's infinite and immaculate self.
Kami Tenchi (Tenchi Muyo) is incomprehensible and boundless. Transcending beyond all logic, physics, conceptualisation, and dimensional scale.
Azathoth (Cthulhu Mythos) utterly transcends everything from the nigh-omnipotent infinite number of eldritch beings known as The Outer Gods from Yog-Sothoth, who embodies all that is, encompasses infinite spatial dimensions and vastly transcend the "dizzy and reachless heights of archetypal infinity". Viewing all of it as a simple dream it is having.
The Luminous Being (Forgotten Realms) is fully transcendent of everything in the Dungeons and Dragons setting.
