yeah, i can't believe it either.
Howdy, this thread aims to hopefully upgrade a handful of our Who Killed Markiplier characters to Low 1-C, while also allowing future profiles to obtain this rating. Prior to this thread, I have had no experience with Tier 1. I've read some other threads about the tier, and talked with some other users, and I truly believe that this rating is what is required, but let's just have a look at the justifications.
Why and How?
First, let's discuss the cosmology of the Markiplier setting.
First of all, we have what I will be calling The Captain's World, also known as the setting of In Space With Markiplier. This world is a universe that has it's own space and time, as stated time and time again. This means the Captain's World is 4-D.
However, it doesn't stop there. The Narrator, a character introduced in Space, speaks to the Captain, where he refers to himself as a "higher-dimensional being" who is working as a narrator for "this project". "This project", in this context, is the film in which the Captain's World exists as in this higher dimension. Also in this clip, shown to be filming the movie that is ISWM, is a character known as The Actor, aka Mark, meaning that the Actor and the Narrator share a universe. The Actor is making a film, that comprises the 4-D world of ISWM, and has hired the Narrator as, well, a narrator.
This would make the Narrator 5-D, given he is a higher dimension than the 4-D world where the Captain exists. This is backed up by the Captain's World being nothing more than a film in this higher dimension, thus making those in this world view it as fiction.
This is where the upgrade comes in. As explained above, the Narrator and Actor exist in the same 5-D world, above the 4-D world of The Captain. However, the Actor also shares a world with the entire cast of Who Killed Markiplier.
This would mean that Who Killed Markiplier, and the other entries of the series that have these same characters, take place in 5-D world full of 5-D beings. This makes narrative sense as well, as the Mark we see in both Heist and Space are merely avatars of the Actor, who is playing a part in those films. Note the use of the word "project" to describe both of these fictional worlds, the Actor's consistent personality, and the mentions of parole.
TL;DR --- A character known as the Narrator is higher-dimensional than the world of ISWM, which contains multiple space-times, and sees said world as fiction. Also existing in the Narrator's world is The Actor, who also perceives ISWM as fiction and even acts in their in-universe material. The Actor exists in the same world as the cast of WKM, making them 5-D as well.
The Changes
The Colonel/Wilford Warfstache
The Detective
Celine
Possibly the Warfstache Automated Interview Automaton. This one is tricky, as while he doesn't appear alongside any other character, he was said to be made by Wilford. The issue is that there is no way of knowing if this was done in the world of WKM or one of the various "project" universes.
There are many more changes that need to be done to this verse, but those will come at a later date. Many of these proposed changes rely on whether or not Low 1-C is accepted, so I feel it's best to get this change handled before any of those.
However, one change that can be applied no matter the outcome of this thread, the verse should be renamed to just "Markiplier". We don't call the Pokemon series "Pokemon Red and Green", so why are we calling this series after the name of the first installment? As "Markiplier" is consistently in the titles, this seems like a logical conclusion.
I can elaborate on any of these points, as I recognize some of it may be hard to read. I hope it gets the point across, but if not, feel free to ask me for clarity or context.

The Changes
- The following characters will be upgraded to Low 1-C, due to being 5-D, as they appear in the world belonging to the Actor/Narrator. Alongside this, they will gain Higher-Dimensional Existence,
