Regeneration

Summary

Regeneration, often referred to as a healing factor, is the ability to heal from wounds at an accelerated rate, with many characters proving capable of regenerating from wounds that would be lethal to normal humans. It has several different levels that range in potency from what is essentially just faster natural healing to being able to regrow limbs or organs, or even a severed head. Higher levels allow characters to regenerate from even more severe wounds, such as being blown to pieces, reduced to a single cell, vaporization, and even complete physical destruction and beyond.

Types

Low: Merely an accelerated healing ability for normal wounds, allowing the character to heal wounds that would normally take days, weeks, or even months much more quickly, sometimes even in just seconds. For machines and vehicles, this would just be regenerating basic exterior damage.

• Examples: Mako Stride with Weakened Kaedna (Heir of Light), Gale (Sightseeing Psions)

Mid-Low: The ability to heal wounds that would normally leave large scars, such as severe burns or deep injuries. For machines and vehicles, this would be regenerating damage that would normally leave large dents and openings.

• Examples: Aikkon (Dragon Soul), Sakamaki Ryuichi (Fairy Tail Fanon), Linx Rifelson (Gyrohem)

High-Low: The ability to regenerate severed fingers, toes, or ears, minor organ damage, and even potentially reattach lost limbs. For machines and vehicles, this would be regenerating some interior damage, along with some minor critically damaged or destroyed parts.

• Examples: Nix Sullivan (Sightseeing Psions), SOLSTICE (Starcross)

Low-Mid: The ability to regenerate lost limbs, and even from severe organ damage or destruction, including traditionally fatal wounds and disembowelment or horizontal bisection. For machines and vehicles, this would be regenerating minor parts and more extensive internal damage.

• Examples: Aaron Myers (Exceed), Shirou Emiya with Avalon (From Fake Dreams), Various Hallows (Monarchverse), Neptune (Starcross)

Mid: The ability to regenerate from decapitation and/or severe damage to the brain. For machines and vehicles, this would be regenerating from the destruction of critical parts, such as the engine.

• Examples: Kirito (A Different Path), Jacque Tremblay

High-Mid: The ability to regenerate from being dismembered or blown to pieces.

• Examples: Samantha Fortepiano (Mirage Saga), Venus (Starcross)

Low-High: The ability to regenerate from a small piece of your body, such as only your severed head, a finger, a puddle or drop of blood, or even something as small as a single cell.

• Examples: Ensyn Shenlong (Dragon Soul), SOLSTICE with reconstruction (Starcross)

Mid-High: The ability to regenerate from being reduced to ash, dust, smoke, or vapor.

• Examples:

High: The ability to regenerate from scattered or lone molecules, atoms, or particles.

• Examples: Joseph Dienova Arkend with preparation (Mirage Saga)

Low-Godly: The ability to regenerate from the complete physical destruction of your body, instead restoring it from your disembodied consciousness, whether that be your soul, mind, or something else.

• Examples: NUMEN, Hades (Sacred Heir), Various characters (Starcross)

Mid-Godly: The ability to regenerate even after being completely erased from existence, including mind, body, and soul.

• Examples: Nathanael (Exceed), Death Eternal (Operation Endgame)

High-Godly: The ability to regenerate even after the totality of your existence is erased, alongside with the reality you are within.

• Examples: Xero (Exceed), Tenebris (Kingdom Hearts IV), Chaos Phoenix (The Radiant Savior), Zavin Xcelua (Yuracion Absolon)

True-Godly: The ability to regenerate from being erased on a level beyond the confines and concept of dimensions.

• Examples: Akashi Kasairyu (Yuracion Absolon)
