Small Size and Regenerationn

[Yobo_Blue]

If a being with Small Size Type 3 (A giant virus, for example) regenerates from pieces of its RNA, is that technically mid-high or high-mid?

Bump

Mmmm... That's a very good question. Cells, bacteria, and viruses are very small, plus they all lack a verifiable external anatomical structure. Trust me; they all come in many, and I mean many shapes, but never would I see a cell shaped anywhere close to a human, or any limbed organism for that matter. Lemme put it this way.

Cells have small objects inside them called "organelles," which perform simple metabolic functions. Same goes for bacteria.

Viruses have RNA that's protected by a hard coating. It is debated whether viruses are considered living organisms or not, though they do reproduce through parasitic means.

Honestly, I can't give a solid answer to this question considering all these variables put in place.

I don't think lack of life is considered a variable in Regenerationn, as the page itself gives the example of a car. However, I do agree with the other parts.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to explain and not really sure how to word it. I will say Low-High Regenerationn is having no solid with liquid parts reforming all those solid parts are, but if you're already liquid; then that sounds more like shapeshifting than it does Regenerationn. For characters who are literally just cells regenerating from parts of those cells, it can vary. If the cell regenerated from total vaporization; as it becomes a complete gas, then it's Mid-High; but unsure if it's only mostly vaporized with certain pieces of it remaining.

When can something be in small enough particles to be considered a vapor?

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Cells are still composed of like millions or was it trillions of molecules and/or atoms; regenerating from a single particle would still be High.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

But this is about mid-high, though, not high.

About 100 trillion according to Washington University.: https://www.thoughtco.com/how-many-atoms-in-human-cell-603882

Regenerating from DNA/RNA is low high virus or not, so high mid is already out of the question. Dunno about mid High.
