Powers and Stats
Tier: 9-A, Unknown via Distortion

Name: "Mercury", birth name unknown. Known as "Lucido Nesic-le'Grande" in remaining scientific circles

Origin: This Broken Little World

Gender: Appears male, can change biological sex at will

Age: 34

Classification: "Demi-Human", First Degree Polluted, Member of The System

Powers and Abilities:
 * -|Errors=Enhanced Forcefield Creation, Spatial Manipulation, Vector Manipulation, and BFR (His passive barriers are far more durable and reform far faster than normal, the space between his and an opponent's attack increases infinitely, his barriers are multi-layered, separated by dimensional gaps created through sheer lack of space, and forcibly move any attack, even those with no travel time, to an alternate timeline. Even if this is bypassed, the vectors of the attack will be inverted and returned to sender), Cosmic Awareness, Clairvoyance, Precognition, Information Analysis, Reactive Evolution, and Power Mimicry (Percieves every point in space-time, as well as outcomes resulting from actions, even other outcomes, therein, simultaineously, completely and totally understands everything he percieves, and can copy any ability or phenomena percieved to a far greater degree than it is normally used while gaining a defense against it at the same time), Time Manipulation, Power Modification, and Instinctive Reaction (Can control his personal time, control his powers and the powers of others, and act without needing to think beforehand)
 * -|Distortion=


 * -|Standard Polluted Abilities=Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Immortality (Types 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7; all Polluted lack a lifespan, can survive as a singular limb even if they are unable to regenerate, and are biologically dead despite lacking the distinction between alive and dead), Regeneration (Mid; can survive anything short of being reduced to mince meat, and can regenerate through spatial distortions. Works practically instantly), Self-Sustenance (Types 1, 2, and 3; Polluted are entire self-sufficient, and do not require sleep or outside aid to stay alive or conscious), Acausality (Types 1 and 4; Polluted don't abide by logic or common sense, making damaging them practically impossible. They are also immune to temporal paradoxes), Enhanced Senses (Polluted can percieve the explosions created by the Explosion Error as well as abstract concepts and the thoughts of others. Doesn't see things through light or electromagnetic radiation), Non-Physical Interaction (Polluted can physically grab the fabric of space-time and have been known to literally consume dreams), Physics Manipulation (Can insert new physical equations into the world that can affect other Polluted, who normally ignore the laws of physics), Vibration Manipulation (Can generate shockwaves that propagate through anything), Reality Warping, Minor Law Manipulation (A Polluted's presence causes laws and rules to multiply like cancer cells, making some rise to prominence and others cease to affect anything), Body Control (Can rearrange and create new organs, grow new limbs, or extend bones thorough his hands to use as weapons), Reactive Evolution and Adaptation (All Polluted constantly change to be best suited for their surroundings, and will quickly grow resistant to negative effects.  As a Third Degree Polluted, this works fast enough to adapt to instant-kill attacks before they take effect), Mind Manipulation, Soul Manipulation and Conceptual Manipulation (Polluted can destroy minds, spirits, and concepts with their normal attacks alone), Death Manipulation (The mere presence of a Polluted will kill anything near or that touches them, even the ground beneath them and the wind around them.  This doesn't work on humans or sufficiently humanoid life), Dimensional Travel, Time Travel, and Duplication (Polluted can appear anywhere they will themselves to be, including other universes, dreams, other points in time, or even multiple places at once), Fear Manipulation (The Polluted are anathema to all concepts of life, and merely being near one is compared to the experience of feeling the death of every cell in your body thousands of times a second), Forcefield Creation (All Polluted passively fold space around themselves to create barriers against outside attacks, and can be hard to break through even for other Polluted), Spatial Manipulation (Polluted can crack open and break space), Resistance Negation, Durability Negation, and Invulnerability (Can effortlessly bypass the defenses, resistances, and durabilty of those with less Pollution, and cannot be damaged or affected by them in any way).  Resistance to Quantum, Magical, Spiritual, Mental, Symbolic, Warping, Void, Status, Nullifying, Probabilistic, Causal, Spatial, Temporal, Sickening, Elemental, Energy, Sonic, Gravitational, Poisonous, Maddening, Paralytic, Sensory, Magnetic, Radiological, Higher-Dimensional, Mathematical, Death-Inducing, Intangible, Acidic, Antimatter, Reflected, Chaotic, Corrosive, Oneiric, Physical, Photonic, Moral, Mimicked, Vector-based, Informational, Transmutative, and Heat-Based Attacks

Attack Potency: Small Building Level (Comparable to other First Degree Polluted, who can collapse skyscrapers by walking through them for long enough and vaporize humans with casual flicks of the wrist. Accidentally vaporized a vending machine while heavily damaged), Unknown via Distortion (While it can technically create physical phenomena that would warrant a rating, these are done through hax and it's overall level of power is unable to be determined.  This is especially true with his Second Activation)

Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ movement speed, with Massively FTL+ reactions and combat speed (Can somewhat keep up with casual Second Degree Polluted such as Venus)

Lifting Strength: Class 100 normally (First Degree Polluted can easily flip tanks the size of small buildings)

Striking Strength: Small Building Class

Durability: Small Building Level

Stamina: Infinite (The body of a Polluted doesn't function in a way that would allow for them to become tired, whether physically or mentally)

Range: Standard Melee Range, Universal+ via Distortion, Unknown via Second Activation (Distance of any kind to an intended target is entirely irrelevant to him)

Standard Equipment None notable

Intelligence: Nigh-Omniscient (Percieves all of space-time, as well as all outcomes, including those caused by other outcomes, resulting from within it, simultaineously. Stated that a human with his abilities, provided they could contain the knowledge granted, would find Polluted in all their odd, illogical splendor wholly unfascinating and boring.  Unfathomably superior to any other Polluted, with the except of Sol, who are somewhat capable of comprehending the equations that make up his body)

Weaknesses: Unable to harm those with greater Pollution normally, and must use his Distortion to do so.

Notable Attacks/Techniques
Errors are mistakes in reality that are slowly accumulated by Polluted over time, with the rate increasing over time, when they are in close proximity to other Polluted, and during moments of high stress. Errors are unable to be removed from the reality surrounding and encompassing a Polluted, as doing so would be like removing the reality from within them, and can't even be removed by other Polluted, even those of higher degree; only those of an at least high-end fourth degree can remove an Error, and even then it is extremely difficult. They generally take the form of abilities that a Poluted can use normally, and possess two distinct characteristics, Magnitude and Potency. A form of abstract "energy" created by The Factory, that technically doesn't even exist and may just be a metaphor for evolution invented by remaining human governments. Slowly built up in life on earth over it's entire evolutionary history, but only became apparent in recent years. Despite what it's name would entail, Pollution manefests as a subtle warping of one's personal reality. Simply put, it is the melding of man and chaos, and allows access to various supernatural abilities in and of itself, along with the ability to gain Errors. A passive effect that Polluted constantly release into the world. In a manner similar to the fact that a sufficiently thin needle could pierce hardened steel, a sufficient Distortion allows one to equalize with their opponents, regardless of differences in power. Fact and fiction intermingle, and the one with the highest Distortion decides what remains, allowing the user to ignore undesirable factors. This is not some mere warping of reality, but the distortion of previous events towards the user's favor, such that the universe itself agrees with them. This is done through the constant release of "Anti-Reality Particles" that cause reality to grow and distort like a cancerous growth, welling up the universe itself like the skin over a tumor. Like cancer to the body, the universe excises the tainted area from itself and takes whatever it can to replace the removed area, with this happening to be the desires of the highest Distortion involved. One's Distortion generally works to create one to a few specific affects, coinciding with the deepest desire and will of the user, although this varies quite a bit, but all allow the user to appear and attack from anywhere within it, regardless of the size of either. The following attributes are ranked from E to S, although special, higher rankings may be given in certain scenarios.
 * -|Errors=
 * Enhanced Barriers: This Error boosts the already formidible defenses of a Polluted, drastically enhancing the durability and speed of her passive spatial barriers. Additionally, the space between her and an opponent's attack will increase infinitely the moment it is loosed towards her, and any attacks that can bypass this will have their vectors inverted, reflecting it right back to sender. For Mercury, this also compresses space into multiple, layered barriers separated by dimensional gaps due to the sheer lack of space as well as forcibly redirecting attacks. even those with no travel time, into alternate timelines. It possesses rather low Magnitude and no Potency.
 * Creator's View: This Error allows the user to percieve every point in space-time, as well as every outcome resulting from any action, even other outcomes, contained therein, simultaineously. This even allows them to see what truly occurs near other Polluted, should they have not been one in the first place, as well as instantly and retroactively analyze and understand anything they percieve, even if it should be too complex for them to understand normally.  This allows them to instantly learn, use, and even use to a far greater degree than normal any ability or phenomena they see being used, thought about, or really existing at all, as well as generating defenses against said power at the same time.  The more the user understands what they see, the greater the degree to which they can use it.
 * Sage: This Error causes the user to possess infinite duplicates of their own mind within their body, such that any single one will instantly recreate the others or even function on it's own if necessary. Additionally, the user can freely control their personal time, boosting their speed to any degree they desire, control their own powers and the powers of others, "feel" the correct course of action in any particular situation, and act without needing think beforehand.
 * -|Pollution=
 * First Degree Polluted: Mercury is a First Degree Polluted, or "Demi-Human." As such, he possesses 3 Errors, all of the standard abilities of a Polluted, and medium for his current status. From this alone, he can insert physical equations into the world, strike on a physical, mental, spiritual, and symbolic level, change the structure of his body, and many more. Most notably, he is completely unhindered by logic or common sense, meaning that conventionally damaging him is more or less impossible as any intended damage will, instead, damage the attacker, or strengthen him, or even simply not do anything at all.
 * -|Distortion=
 * Density: This attribute defines the strength of Distortion over a given area, with higher Density allowing one to overcome the Distortion of another. High enough Distortion can cause those without comparable Distortion to be excised from the universe itself simply by being too close, or be "suffocated" under the pressure of the Distortion, causing total existence failure. Meanwhile, a low enough Density can allow it to simply be ignored by those strong enough. Mercury possesses a C in this attribute, reaching A with his Second Activation.
 * Volume: This attribute defines the total area that a Distortion can affect at once. Higher Volumes require high Densities to be effective, as the Distortion tends to get "spread out" over larger areas, reducing it's overall effectiveness. Mercury possesses an AAA in this attribute, being able to affect the entire universe simultaineously.  After his Second Activation, this ranking became ???.
 * Maneuverability: This attribute defines the ability of a user to control their own Distortion. High Maneuverability allows one to cause highly fine-tuned effects over specifc area with their Distortion, while low Maneuverability means that one wouldn't be able to have fine-tuned effects, and it would apply over the whole Volume. Mercury possesses an AA in this attribute, becoming S post-Second Activation.
 * Power: This attribute defines the overall power that one can output through a Distortion, and it's effects are self-explanitory. At high Power, a Distortion can act as though it also had high Density, assuming it didn't already. Mercury's rank in this attribute is impossible to traditionally determine, especially with his Second Activation.
 * Versatility: This attribute defines the variety of effects that a Distortion can achieve. A high Versatility would allow one to achieve a large variety of effects, potentially even from a single Distortion, while a low Versatility wouldn't allow one to create more than a few different effects, vastly reducing the effectiveness of their Distortion. The vast majority of uses have low rankings in this attribute, although it is, without question, the most important and powerful attribute at high ranks. Mercury possesses an AA in this attribute, jumping to AAA with his Second Activation.
 * Second Activation: Less of an attribute, and more of an occurance that can make one's Distortion stronger, but still ranked nonetheless. A Second Activation can be achieved similarly to an Error, although significantly slower.  Higher ranks in this mean that the Second Activation is far stronger than normally, with a lower rank meaning that the boost is comparatively small.  Mercury possesses a B in this attribute.
 * Trigger: Again less of an attribute, and more of a property, but a Distortion's Trigger is a specific situation in which it will automatically activate. Once a Trigger has been used to activate the Distortion, nothing the target can do will allow them to escape, as they have willingly consented to be affected by it; not even destroying the user, the universe, or the energy sustaining the Distortion will allow for them to escape.  Even traveling to another point in time or dimension is fruitless.  There isn't even an "outside of the Distortion" for them anymore.  Ranks in this indicate how difficult the Trigger is to activate.  Mercury possesses a B in this attribute.

Rule Breaker • Miserable Alchemist: Mercury's Distortion, which functions around the manipulation of laws, and primarily physics by extension. It's trigger is "the target believes that the current rules are cumbersome." Mercury's main and favorite use of his Distortion is a much more fine and powerful control over physics than he would normally have. Physical laws created and manipulated this way affect things normally unhindered by physics, such as spirits, minds, and even ideas and concepts. For example, by forcing gravity to apply to concepts, he can cause ideas to "gravitate" towards each other and merge into more broad concepts, eventually reducing everything to a singular idea. These new physics even affect space-time, more directly than normally anyways. Additionally, Mercury himself is automatically exempt from any laws created or manipulated, even by others or that already exist, due to this Distortion, causing him to be extremely hard to damage, much less kill, as, for example, he is exempt from the requirement of "being damaged" after being hit.
 * Second Activation: Anathema to the Law • Miserable Perfectionist: Achieved through the use of an unnamed device, which fundamentally altered Mercury on all levels of being to make this possible. The most immediate change is the turning to Mercury himself into naught but a mass of confusing, venomous equations in the vague shape of a man and of such unfathomable complexity and make-up that mortal minds are wholly unsuited to even begin to understand them.  Mercury, at this point, encompasses all mathematics and any application of such, existing practically everywhere as a result.  The power of this Distortion is now complete and utter control over all mathematics, numbers, quantity, logic, etc.  The primary use of this is to reduce any offensive action taken against Mercury to "zero", completely negating it, and amplifying any offensive action he himself makes to "infinity", causing it to be totally unavoidable, unresistable, and unsurvivable, regardless of circumstance as even those with higher Pollution and Distortion could not simply tank his attacks.  This is in no way, shape, or form the only use of this ability, however, as the applications are practically infinite and ever-growing in number.  Additionally, and true to it's name, Mercury's mere presense begins repealing the fabric of reality itself, and the laws within by extension.

Note: In-universe, humans can only survive a Polluted's death aura because they possess Pollution themselves, and this would not be the case outside of the verse. Additionally, please specify if he has access to his Second Activation Distortion in the OP of any matches.
