I feel bad about this, because I have nothing against you and you really do try, but... FC/OC isn't really the place for your works. Your ideas aren't inherently bad, but you're exploring them from an angle that is harmful to storytelling, and your focus on power - because, in the end, that's what this is - is again, harmful. This is on top of your lack of understanding of the true implications of Tier 0, and... you're just really stubborn, honestly, and you don't really learn.

You can explore themes of "Omnipotence" and absolute power without venturing into the territory of Tiers 1-A and 0, which I would recommend, as those tiers are very confusing. Various users, myself included, have tried to, on various occasions, explain Tier 0 to you, and you still don't really grasp it. Tier 0 is not "questionable" due to something arbitrary like the omnipotence paradox - which a lot of characters can break, just like other paradoxes - it's questionable because of its inherently incomprehensible nature.

Tier 0's have no character. They don't think in anyway we can comprehend. They don't have personality. They can't be good, and they can't be bad, either. They're just kind of there, and they're the source of everything but they don't really do anything, either.

You're free to make pages here, whenever. But I'd recommend you stay away from Tier 1, for now. Start small. Start with a simple character, and don't worry about things like power. I know it'll come up at one point, and I know you won't be able to put it completely out of your mind, but instead of building your character with something like that in mind, build them up with something like a conflict. Just... make a weak character. Make a character who's just a normal person, with normal conflicts.

I'll delete your pages, sooner or later. I'll give you the time to get their source code so you can put them up wherever else - Joke Battles is always open, I suppose.
