The tiers of Alaris are not meant as a tool to base a character around, rather they are a sense of scale for how power works on this world. Most characters will fall somewhere between tiers on the scale. 

 

Human: A human tier being is fairly fitting to the race it is based off of. These beings will often have the same capabilities as a human. Their ability will not be very remarkable at all, possessing little to no magical capability. Many children of remarkable races will start here, as well as everyday civilians in many places. 

 

Superhuman: Those with increased ability to use magic, with enhanced bodily capabilities, with above average durability, etc. These beings may have some magic, and even some with rather potent energies. This is where many adolescents of remarkable races will start out. This is the tier where it begins to be safe to travel from one's home to seek out new sights. One can somewhat defend themselves here, even if it's not fighting grand monsters or going on epic adventures. 

 

Hero: This is the baseline for many characters in Alaris. A Hero tier character has notable skill in magic ability, skill level with weapons, proficiency with the abilities that their race gives them, or even the instincts to survive. At this tier, one could even get through Atrisea without risk of sudden death. It would never be advised to explore such a wasteland, but they could still get through it. A hero could destroy a small to medium sized town with theor full power.

 

Legend: Where legends are made. A Legend tier character has proven their skill and strength to the world, where their name is known in some way. They are powerful warriors and mages, able to use their weapons to a high extent and proving a serious threat to anyone who decided to stand in their way. At this level, exploring any part of the world without the worry of serious bodily harm. Many legends have become Carran hunters because of their skill and strength. Legends have been known to be able to destroy all but the largest cities with the amount of power they harness.

 

Ascendant: If you are the leader of a kingdom, or someone of the highest status, you are more than likely an Ascendant tier being. These beings are capable of commanding the full potential of their race, even exceeding what others had done before them. They command large armies, scale the highest peaks and the darkest depths like it was child's play. They are the closest to living gods of any being. One would find great difficulty in challenging an Ascendant to any form of combat. Many Ascendants have been known the world over. If you need someone to save your country from Carran, these are the one's you'd seek out. An Ascendant would wipe out a small country with their power, or a larger one with the forces they command. 

 

Deity: The literal gods. The one's who can create or wipe out whole countries in a moment, those who can build entire sections of the world with their hands and thoughts. They are basically unmatched by any other being. A god is created when an Ascendant being is given godly power and given an aspect. There have not been any gods who were replaced by another, but there is always room to change that. The title is interchangeable, given to the being who deserves it the most and can conquer the one currently holding the title.  

 

Primordial: There are very few who could ever hold the power of a primordial. Beings that can make whole dimensions or universes and destroy them just as easily. There have only been a few primordials with any connection to Alaris, let alone step foot on the planet in the first place. These beings are either the biggest threat or greatest asset to the world.
