"I'm h...a...p...p...y... Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness... Arrgh! Yaagh!... It hurts, Ness... Arrgh! Yaagh!... It's not right... not right... not right...Ahh, Grr, Ohhh..."

Properties

As an archetype, the user is an unstable god, who has ultimate power, but due to circumstances, cannot control it at any level or situation whenever they wish. In all of existence, they are destructive and unpredictable forces that can cause calamities at any time. Unstable Gods are viewed from many perspectives, as violent primordial entities, deranged, concepts/forces, or an aspect/expression/extension of an anti-god. This is considered possible aftermath of transcendence; this is because entities aren't "designed" to harness and control the ultimate power of this magnitude.

User

The user has an abusive/destructive/emotional/psychotic mindset. Due to their insanity, they are unable to control their omnipotent power. The user is trapped in their created hell with no chance of saving.

Power

The power itself is ungovernable and deadly to have a hold on. This may be a result of a curse, superpower manipulation, or a bestowal. The user is average, but if the power sabotages the user, a sequence of events will lead to an apocalypse.

Flaws/Weaknesses

• User cannot control their power thus the users power could shift between being to being almost all powerful to being powerless or just being weak enough to be destroyed or stopped, but since the users of this power can´t control that power it maybe difficult to know what their level of power is.
• Users pose a hazard to anything, everyone, and everything including themselves.
• Forms/Expressions of Omnipotence is still above the user. Also depending on the users level of power at their weakest a nigh-omnipotent user can also be above them
• Certain users may have some kind of control over their power but may not be able to have a firm grip on their sane mind and what's going on around them eventually losing all control over their power and sanity thus either destroying themselves or destroying everything around them thus making the user into a Unstable God.
• The user may like being unstable and insane even if the user has a chance to be saved the user may not want to be saved giving into the madness and unstable nature of the user's power.
• The users powers could be absorbed by a more powerful being or being tricked into having their powers taken away

Gallery

Misaka Mikoto (Toaru Kagaku no Railgun/A Certain Scientific Railgun) was subjected to Kihara Gensei's experiment to transform her into a Level 6, which is also an artificial god. However, unlike Accelerator, she was not suitable to become a Level 6 stably, and had she completed her transformation, she would have died and destroyed the entire Academy City in the backlash, but that one instant in which she would have been a Level 6 would mean achieving godhood.

Azathoth (Cthulhu Mythos) is the primordial creator, lord, master and governor of existence and the outer chaos that serves as the residence of The Outer Gods, who resides on a black throne at the centre of the Abyss, from which he rules all of time and space, lying in a seemingly dormant state while his subjects mindlessly dance around it, playing cacophonic, discordant music for their Master for reasons yet unknown, while the Daemon Sultan himself gnaws and mutters his own dreams, which lie beyond even his own understanding.

As a result of the immortal Future Zamasu fusing with the mortal Goku Black, Fused Zamasu's (Dragon Ball Super) body and mind were incredibly unstable...

...and upon his body's destruction, his consciousness survived as Infinite Zamasu, a near-mindless multiverse-encompassing entity unable to do more than laugh maniacally and destroy.

Sam Howell/SCP-3812 - A Voice Behind Me (SCP Foundation) is a very powerful Reality Bender who suffers from various severe mental problems, possibly due to "overexposure to the narrative", and seems to possess a split personality. He is unable to accurately perceive the world, and is forced to alter reality to diminish the discrepancy between how it perceives something, and the way that something is in actuality causing numerous anomalous events.

After absorbing 30-40 million souls in Purgatory, Castiel (Supernatural) had transformed into a being akin to God. But nevertheless, his body was being destroyed by so much power, and he suffered from delusions of grandeur and anger issues.
