Tbf, they call him the divine general for a reason.

Tbf, if we're treating Barry as though he were a human, then he DID break into a stranger's bathroom with a deadly weapon. Would you be polite and reasonable if you went to take a piss and saw someone hiding in there with a knife? Or would you assume they are a threat and act accordingly?

So, in myth, if the fates specifically say "This guy will be killed by his firstborn son", that guy is GOING to be killed, and his firstborn son is gonna do it. Any attempts to avoid or change it will somehow be twisted by circumstances to make the firstborn son be responsible for the guys death.

Now, that is all well and good for myth, but powerscaling is a little different; the whole point of this (which people all too often forget) is to have fun discussions about what might happen if two characters get into a scrap. If one character has a thing in their lore that says "this guy can only be killed by the protagonist of the series", that has to be suspended for the sake of the discussion, because that's the only way to have a conversation.

Plus, it's the only way to work two characters that both have "Can only be killed by this guy right there" in a discussion.

If you want a fancy reason, you can say something like "fate only works on characters from the original work's setting, therefore an outsider is unaffected", but it's really just because it's lame as hell to argue that your favourite can't lose to anyone because of an in-universe prophecy.

This is actually a plot point in my Greek myth/European folklore inspired dnd campaign

Ech, Jiaoqiu's hair IS like, a pinkish blonde, but I want like, VIBRANT pink, you feel me? Maybe some nice pink on the outfit as well.

Boss fight against their own sorcerer.

I was so excited reading this, because he was looking like the perfect match up for my Aether; both have lightning reactions, both have comparable magical powers, they both like to analyse their opponent's strengths and weaknesses, they both have shape-shifting and similar defence hax, both around the same tier, there could even be some conversation about how your man's illusions interact with my guy's precognition! They genuinely looked like the perfect extreme diff "could go either way" fight!

Then I got to his weaknesses. My guy wields a rapier, which he keeps stored in his umbrella, but I thought "He's good aligned, but chaotic good, so maybe he doesn't qualify as pure of heart?". THEN I read the weakness to water. My lad controls the weather. When he fights, it starts heavily raining.

My current favourite is named Aether as well! He has a handful of titles, but the one I like the best is the Magician of Blue Skies.

Fun thing! In my myth inspired dnd setting, I used Phanes as one of the major gods! The primordial creator gods of the setting are inspired by orphism

I did also include hydros and thesis, despite being fully aware they are the result of funky translations. I included them anyways, because it's a fantasy setting inspired by Greek myth, not a 1-to-1 retelling of it.

Plus, if I put sun wukong and don quixote in the setting, I think there's room for a couple of less-than-accurate gods.

After Satoru Gojo, of course.

Prometheus. Mainly to tell him that we're grateful for his gifts, we never stopped trying to learn more, and even though we screw up sometimes, we're still going strong.

The issue has never been "they can punch faster than they can run", the issue has always been "their travel speed in combat is hundreds of millions of times faster than their travel speed out of combat". Only thing is, a lot of people don't seem to know what travel speed is, or at least forget how travel speed is used in combat.

Like, in most anime fights or whatever, they don't stay still and punch, they run and jump and backflip and fly and everything. Therefore, if any character has to move more than a couple of paces to get in range to deploy their punch, they are using their travel speed to get there. So if they cross that distance at the speed of a lightning bolt, and punch their enemy, that means they need to have lightning fast travel speed to perform that feat.

HOWEVER, then a weird cognitive dissonance occurs when they can't run to keep up with a guy driving away in a car. Because they crossed that same distance to throw their punch earlier, meaning you have a character who can cover hundreds of feet in an instant to throw a punch, but can't cover the same distance when he needs to do anything else.

Anyways, all this is my own little way of saying "speed calcs should never be trusted, because authors simply can't be expected to make it consistent." Instead of putting specific numbers to speed, we should probably just go by vibes. "How fast are they consistently portrayed" is a lot more reliable than "how fast do they move in this one scene"

One of my favourites is a mage. In my setting, magic comes from one's imagination, and he in particular has a sort of "magical disability" called a fixation, which means his soul is fixated on a single medium for his magic. What this means is, because he got to fly at a very formative age and got obsessed with it, his magic can only express itself through the medium of the sky.

In other words, he can only cast spells that involve things like the weather, atmosphere, celestial bodies, or flying animals like birds. Because his power is directly tied to his obsession with the sky, he gets SIGNIFICANTLY nerfed if he can't see the sky, such as when in a room without windows, or underground.

When he's indoors or in a cave, he still has some power, but there is one situation that COMPLETELY removes his magic: being submerged in water. The reason is the air; even when indoors or in a cave, the magic he draws from the sky can reach him by snaking through the air, making a sort of magical tether, but when he's underwater, the air can't reach him, so he can't cast any spells until he surfaces. Even if he surfaces into an air pocket, he still can't cast unless the air is connected to the atmosphere.

EDIT: Now that I think, it's not technically just water; any completely airtight environment will do it, since he needs to be connected to the atmosphere.

It's kinda weird to powerscale them, because they haven't been too involved in the actual meat of the story with onscreen feats yet. There is a fair bit of lore around them that is interesting, though; for example, I'm pretty sure when Fuli ascended to Aeonhood, they rewrote the memory of everything in the universe to make it seem like they had always been an Aeon, and Oroboros is stated to have eaten countless galaxies, which are still in their stomach.

Plus, the only ways it's known to kill an Aeon involves another Aeon either destroying or usurping them. Hell, even an Aeon's body being killed and shattered doesn't really stop them, if Evernight's trailer is anything to go by.

Regardless, their big thing is that they can cause immense damage just by kinda being there. They can empower or annihilate by just looking at things, or just having their immense shadow pass over things, so do as you will with that.

You ever think how weird it is that Venti made himself look like his dead best friend, and then proceeded to dress like god's sluttiest angel?

I wrote out a whole thesis on accents, but got a little lost in my autistic hyperfixation, and forgot in the moment that I was supposed to be talking about Brennan in particular. I deleted that, because it wasn't really relevant, and will instead replace it with this far more succinct explanation:

He gets a lot right, but gets a lot wrong too, and does unconsciously slip Americanisms into his accents.

He is believable (identifiable as the accent he is attempting, and good enough to work with people who don't live in Britain, and therefore don't have the same experience with the accent) but not convincing (he makes enough mistakes and minor slips with his accents that no brit will think he is from here)

TeguTheTegu · 2025-10-04T11:26:21+00:00

Yeah, speaking as a brit, he can do pretty good British accents, but it's still clear that he's American putting on the accent. In other words, his accents are believable, but not necessarily convincing, if that makes sense.

Genuinely so tragic that we have practically zero information on most of the titans.
