Clarifying the True Nature of The Source, The Presence, and The Overvoid (Tier 0 Proposal)

I disagree with this portion. Pralaya in her highest state of the Mahapralaya is the unmanifested void and holds all of God's creation. She's beyond duality entirely, on all levels of creation and erases all of creation when it's time to for the sleep of brahma. All duality, as seen in Doctor Fate #6, includes Light and Darkness. Not to mention, she's beyond the Creator, unlike the Great Darkness. Who's equal to the Light of Creation and is trapped in duality with it. The different interpretation thing doesn't work for these type of beings. The collective unconscious itself is below not just Pralaya but the Great Darkness as well. So using a scan that based around Sphere of God level beings from Wonder Woman doesn't really work.

So from that, Pralaya (Mahapralaya) should still be High 1-A+ Type 2 for holding all of God's creation and what it can create. Which includes duality itself. She is God's Unconscious mind after all.

Unless there's some mix up between the two types, the Voice can't be Type 2. It's neither the void or holds creation. It creates, as far as I remember.
Yeah, Pralaya's High 1-A+ key would remain. As for the second point, i think you're right. I mistakenly believed that an impersonal, a pre-form of a tier 0 God would be enough for High 1-A+ type 2. Then, True State Pralaya would best suit the type 2, indeed. Anyway, do you agree with the rest?

Yeah. The only thing I disagreed with was Pralaya (Mahapralaya) being Type 1. She should be Type 2. The Voice being Type 1 is fine though. Not even sure why Pralaya had both in the first place. Since the Creator was originally supposed to be Type 1 in DeMatteis cosmology.

Personally I dont know why Presence's voice should be treated as seperate character

Not as a "separate character," but as God acting in an impersonal, pre-form way in His act of creation. The name "Presence" is just an umbrella that encompasses the terms of God, Voice, or Yahweh. In essence, they are the same, but appears and functions differently if I may say so.
 
Minor off-topic: I noticed that the Hands profile should be edited, as their current justification could pose a problem with Tier 0 Overvoid/Source/Presence. Here's my proposal for editing The Hands:

The Hands

Tier: High 1-A

Attack Potency: High Outerverse level (The Hands exist beyond the Source Wall and completely transcend the Divine Continuum and all structures contained within it, including the Sixth Dimension. They operate from the Overvoid as direct agents of The Source, shaping its energies into Multiversal systems across the Greater Omniverse. Even Perpetua, one of the Hands, and her three children feared their final judgment over reality. Their envoy, the Cosmic Raptor, formed the Source Wall as a containment for Perpetua and the Totality of her stolen power, separating her Multiverse from the Greater Omniverse)

What do you think?
 
Which void is being merged? I agree with Dematteis Void and Grant Morrison overvoid being merged as they are essentially the same thing but l do not agree with the vertigo one. Especially if the Overvoid we are using is Morrisons. Morrison saw it as non dual meaning nothing can exist there including other creations. He saw it as one indivisible whole of being so anything will be dissolved.

Non-duality, in this context, also means that nothing is separate from the Void. In strict terms, nothing can truly exist apart from it. As you said, the Overvoid is an indivisible whole. However, it doesn't necessarily prevents expressions, manifestations, or functions to exist within it. Across Morrison, DeMatteis, and Vertigo, the Void represents the true extent of God, within which both existence and non-existence are encompassed. Concepts such as creation, beings, and events are part of God’s self-expression or dream, meaning they arise within Him without forcefully violating His non-duality. Most importantly, Grant Morrison doesn’t always strictly adhere to real-world science or philosophy: he draws great inspiration from them, incorporating elements into his own cosmology.

Hmm… I think this CRT has about 3 or 4 Agree votes, Does that mean it’s accepted?
Let's wait until the 42 hours have passed, but for now. Most agree with everything in the OP, except the initial suggestion for Pralaya.

What about vertigo void? On dematteis and grant Morrison merge l agree.
 
I think that at this point, if there are no further objections, we have reached a consensus and we can therefore apply what has been agreed here.
 
Characters profiles need to be unlocke so that, when adding abilities and implementing changes and even merging we can have access to all profiles

In the first stage, editing the profiles of Pralaya and the Great Darkness is easy, but when it comes to the Void, the Overvoid, the Presence, and the Source, the OP themselves needs to decide how the profiles should be merge:

The profiles of The Overvoid and The Void will be merged. In the profile of The Presence, the different Tier 0 keys (the Creator, the Divine Presence, the Unknowable) will be merged together and replaced with what we've discussed. Here's how the tiers in the profile of The Presence might looks like:

Keys: Yahweh | The Voice | Godhood

High 1-A | High 1-A+ |0

Also, the profile of The Hands should be unlocked.

There is no problem with merging the Source and the Presence

But what happens to the Tiers of the Overvoid and the Void?!
Because a single verse cannot have two Tier 0 profiles

Didnt Elizio say Overvoid = Void = Presence?

To clarify, the true form of the Source and the Presence = Overvoid/Void, they are identical. The profiles of The Source and that of The Presence should stay sepate as they are too well known, but have multiple keys on both profiles representing their manifestations and another one representing the true Godhood.

So, is “Key: The Voice” for the Source?
Nope. It's for God acting in an impersonal, pre-form way when He brought light by uttering the words: "Let there be light!"

As for The Source, it has two keys on its profile. One for its post-creational, manifest form known as The Light of Creation and another for its pre-creational, purest form or true Godhood.

Just a reminder for the editing. Since I noticed the OP wasn't updated. Pralaya true form key has always been High 1-A+ (Type 2). In case there was some confusion there. Her avatar form, before this thread, was Type 1. The avatar is being downgraded to just High 1-A. While the true form key will stay High 1-A+ (Type 2).
 
I think that Elizio's current suggested changes here can likely be applied now.

Can you link to the pages that you need unlocked here please? And should we turn any page into a redirect link in conjunction? 🙏

Pralaya devours the creator god as per JLD She should scale above the voice

Type 2 is greater than Type 1. So yes, Pralaya true form being Type 2 means she's stronger than the Voice (Type 1). Unless this was changed in a recent thread. That has always been the case between the two types of High 1-A+ since it was established.
 
Wait first. Look at this and and also this .For vertigo void.
Gaiman didn't say anything relevant here, except that he didn't know. Even DeMatteis was unaware of the existence of Overvoid when questioned about it in the past. Yet, the Void, Void outside Creation, Void Beyond All Voids, Overvoid are different names of the same expense of nothingness and is frequently associated with God.

What l am trying to say is the vertigo void cannot be the same as the rest since in the story it is not treated as the ultimate void. It is not also the presence. Overvoid and dematteis void can be merged together l have no issue but l don't agree with vertigo's
 
Sure

This
I have unlocked all of those pages now. Tell us here when the revisions here have been finished. 🙏
Yeah. And note that the profiles of The Void (Vertigo) and The Overvoid should be merged.
That is fine with me. You can turn "The Void (Vertigo)" into a redirect link if you wish. 🙏

Hmm. Maybe we should not turn that page into a redirect link after all then? 🙏

Can you elaborate more ? How the Void (Vertigo) isn't treated as the same as the Overvoid or God ?

This vertigo void is of a sunyata concept. Whereby God achieves enlightenment by removing all stimulus including the molecules in the universe. But in overture it is not supreme as there is another greater void called the true darkness beyond everything to which all creation will return to. Overvoid(Morrison's) and Dematties God are the supreme beings in there respective stories and continuities. Even though the vertigo void can have the same attributes it is not supreme hence has to be disqualified.

The unknownable who can be equal to overvoid and divine presence can be referenced but not really found in black orchid. Here forment and moment represent of wuji chaos and order and come from even a greater void of which birthed them.
 
True Darkness is Mother night in vertigo right ? Also The Great Darkness and Mother night should be the same ?

Yeah, I tried to find the scans for it back then

It's from issue 11 of Black Orchid (1993). That said, you guys are making this more complicated than it should be by mentioning and adding all of these characters to the thread. Foment and Moment are not even that relevant. I think they appear for like a single issue or two and that's about it. At best, this just upgrades Chaos and Order.
