Existential Distinction

"Far, far below the deepest delving of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things. Even Sauron knows them not. They are older than he. Now I have walked there, but I will bring no report to darken the light of day"

― Gandalf to the Three Hunters (The Lord of the Rings)

"You think me an alien... an "other"... But I am of the substance of this universe, and I walked here long before you or even Mata Nui himself."

― Tren Krom (Bionicle)

"We call them Outsiders because they’re outside anything we can understand or accept: outside morality, or sanity, maybe even Life or Death."

― John Taylor (Nightside)

The state of being completely distinct from everything. Absolute expression of Singularity. Form/Expression of Freedom and Omnipotence. Variation of Perfection. Not to be confused with 0th Dimension Physiology and Omnilock. Opposite to Unity.

True Freedom

Capabilities[]

The user possesses an essence that is absolute in its otherness and entirely exclusive to their nature alone. They are able to distinguish themselves from absolutely everything, everywhere, everywhen, and everyhow, without any exception.

Nature of the Power[]

The reason for this eldritch disposition lies with their ability to forgo, include, and deny every physical/metaphysical concept, law, and substance made (or will be made) by anyone or anything (most of all by a supreme panentheistic being) and remain independent of them, through an alignment of true neutral with Quantum Ethics, often conducting mental simulations to predict an outcomes net positivity or negativity. Though others may possess the ability to maintain a subjective means to affect or interact with the rest of the universe, most do not, and thus experience existence in eternal limbo.

Their differences notwithstanding, all users share only this similarity and nothing more - so far removed from the rest of existence, their essence makes for a completely unique state of being one that has never existed before and will never exist again. Never to be mirrored nor encompassed by anyone or anything, forever locked in perpetual defiance to all.

Applications[]

Autopotence - possess absolute control over every facet of their being and perfectly manifest themselves in all ways they deem fit.
- Amortality - above and beyond life and death from the very moment they've come to be.
  - Life and Death Transcendence
Cycle Transcendence - completely independent of any universal cycle.
- Causality Immunity/Causality Negation - are above and beyond the concept of causality. Their essence is just so alien and bizarre that the only rules of cause and effect they follow (if they even have any) are completely unlike ours.
Difference Manipulation - unrestrained capacity to manipulate the degree of the difference they have relative to the rest of the universe. They can make themselves less disparate and ease every interaction they make or forever lock themselves away in perpetual formation and reformation to further consolidate their current state of complete and absolute otherness.
- Interaction Manipulation
Eldritch Physiology/Impossible Physiology - be a walking nightmare-fuel of impossibilities whose mere presence is able to upset and unbalance the very universe they choose to inhabit.
- Erasure Immunity/Meta Erasure Immunity
- Fathomless Mind - with minds both unknowable and unreadable these vast vessels of unholy knowledge are more akin to small universes than they are to minds. With laws and concepts that operate on entirely new ways, very few have been able to even breach them. Fewer still are the number of those who walk away with their lives intact.
- Incomprehensible Form
  - Insanity Inducement
- Omnifarious
- Unnatural Presence - the presence of the user is enough to rip apart every fundamental concept and universal law that we know.
Freedom (Ultimate Level)- be completely outside and separate from the grand design.
Impossibility Manipulation
Paradox Existence - users existence is a paradox, as they violate the cause-and-effect principles that govern the rest of the universe.
- Immutability/Reality Anchoring/Universal Irreversibility - Absolute and forever, true to the unnatural state of their being, the user possesses as all-consuming otherness that is immutable and irreversible to any outside influence.
Meta Perspective Manipulation - the capability to go far and beyond being merely free from every conceivable principle of the universe. Forgoing dominion over the banality of the physical and metaphysical aspects of reality, advanced users instead manipulate forces that lie beyond the spectrum of the knowable - becoming indisputable lords of the unpredictable forces of the infinite, ineffable, unknown, and unknowable in short, the user is beyond all description and rationalization.
- Indeterminacy
- Meta-Concept Manipulation - As an entity that is completely separate from everything in reality, the user can control all alien concepts.
  - Meta Space-Time Manipulation - transcend/alter all known context of existence both in its totality as well as its variability.
- Unpredictability/Absolute Unpredictability
Omnilock
- Singularity/Temporal Singularity/Uniqueness - the user's essence is so bizarre and alien, it is simply impossible to replicate.
Reality Warping
- Reality Randomization
Spatial-Temporal Transcendence
- Dimensional Transcendence
  - Separation - born into a state of separation relative to the rest of the universe and its creator. The existential-bond prevalent to all of creation (the omniverse) and any other force that binds all things to a supreme pantheistic power or entity is of no consequence to the users of this ability whatsoever.
    - Reality Separation
Unknown Existence
