“ | Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known. |

Summary
Real Life/The Real World/Reality. It is where we all live. Real Life is the conjectured state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined. In a wider definition, reality includes everything that is and has been, whether it is observable or comprehensible. A still broader definition includes everything that has existed, exists, or will exist.
One of the advantages in real life versus battles could be said to be clarity, due to the unambiguousness of something as real as the world that all of us actually live in. The primary way to debate real life would be to link to studies or factual data. This page links to profiles on various things in real life that might crop up, such as lions, tigers, bears, and helicopter-mounted miniguns.
Power of the Verse
The Real World varies widely in destructiveness, although, on average, the real world (In particular, life on Earth) tends not to be very strong.
- Current Earth life is generally capable of Below Average Human to Wall level Attack Potency. However, stronger animals like Dinosaurs existed in the past.
- With technology, humans, although with weaponry mostly in the Tier 9 and 8 range, can achieve far greater levels of power, reaching up to City level destruction with individual nukes and up to Mountain level with the most powerful ones.
- The real world's high-end feats tend to stem from asteroid impacts, stellar explosions, and other natural phenomena.
On average (in particular, for living organisms), the speed lands between Below Average Human to Subsonic levels, with reactions being at most Subsonic speeds, but are common for small animals to have.
- Human-made vehicles have faster travel speeds, going at up to Hypersonic levels of speed, and movement amongst celestial objects and stellar explosions can go much faster. The maximum speed for anything besides the physical space in the real world is the Speed of Light.
- Unlike fiction, having a high reaction speed isn't always beneficial, as sometimes, fast perceptions mean animals view slower-moving objects to be even slower, an example being a slow moving hand appearing completely still to a housefly before it gets attacked.
Verse-specific Rules
The real world doesn't break the laws of physics or thermodynamics. Unless the scaling is based off of overwhelming by raw power, calculations, treated realistically and within common sense, battleboarding concepts like power scaling, calc stacking, et cetera don't apply to the real world.
- Follow the standards for real world page references, as references are mandatory for new pages.
- When scaling real world animals' statistics, please follow the Standards for Scaling Real Life Animals.
- Be more realistic and careful when scaling entities around tiers Below Average Human level to Street level, as the tiering system becomes inconsistent due to the tiering system being oversimplified.
- Examples:
- Humans having Street level energy output on their legs and gravitational potential energy when anyone is capable of injuring a person with a full punch. And yet, athletes can exert below this energy output.
- Wolves jumping and withstanding Street level energy when their usual strikes (or bites in this case) are around Human level to Athlete level and they can get easily thrown around by a heavier jaguar.
- Examples:
Items and Weapons Rules
As stated in the editing rules, common armors and weapons are allowed as profiles.
- Armor, cutting weapons, and shields are a vastly different case due to the oversimplifications in our tiering system against the latter's piercing damage.
- Cutting weapons should be tiered based off of their piercing effectiveness, rather than energy output due to their effectiveness as piercing weapons. Sufficiently sharp enough cutting weapons like knives and machetes can be 9-C due to their ability to cut flesh.
- Armor and shields profiles are allowed, given that...
- They follow the standard format for item profiles.
- Their durability is judged based off their ability to withstand the force of cutting weapons.
- Their attack potency is based off of raw power.
- Although you could technically use armor as a blunt force weapon, their attack potency is optional if they don't have any notable attack attributes that stand out (spikes, being an effective blunt force weapon unlike most items in real life, etc.)
- They follow the standard format for item profiles.
- Cutting weapons should be tiered based off of their piercing effectiveness, rather than energy output due to their effectiveness as piercing weapons. Sufficiently sharp enough cutting weapons like knives and machetes can be 9-C due to their ability to cut flesh.
