Here on Twisted we are using a four statistic system for governing a character's basic abilities. As characters change during role play, we don't expect these numbers to be set in stone. We are simply asking players to include this information upon character creation so that (when combined with regularly posted logs) we can keep track of a character's progress and have a rough estimate of what a character can do. These four statisics are Physical Ability, Knowledge, Magical Knowledge, and Superhuman Ability. Again, these are to get a basic idea about a character.
+
As of December 7th, 2015 our threat assessment has been completely redefined. Our previous statistics system has been replaced with a much more simplified system which we hope will be easier to understand and just as effective. Carefully consider which of the following categories your character belongs to when filling out our application. If you need help determining your character's tier, please ask a member of [[:Category:Staff|staff]]. As with any new system additional changes may be made in the future to clarify these groupings further.

Please consider carefully before listing a character's stat level at 10. This implies that your character has infinite knowledge/ability in a subject. They already know all the answers. This is why it's listed as a 'deity'. A character at this level will not have any room to grow and is very frowned upon by players. It is rare to see even staff characters with pure level 10 stats - even when that character exists only as a plot device.

The following is not a requirement, but simply something we're throwing out for those who have trouble understanding this system and how characters compare to one another. By adding all four numbers together and dividing by four we arrive at what we like to call a character's "threat level." This value shows approximately how well character A will do against character B. Again, this is more to help give a basic idea, not set things in stone. Twisted MUCK is more concerned with free-form RP (i.e. the flow of the scene determines the outcome) than statistic-based combat. The only time these numbers should concern anyone is at the creation of a character or in the event of a out-of-character conflict when no other resolution can be found.

Character Threat Level

As of December 7th, 2015 our threat assessment has been completely redefined. Our previous statistics system has been replaced with a much more simplified system which we hope will be easier to understand and just as effective. Carefully consider which of the following categories your character belongs to when filling out our application. If you need help determining your character's tier, please ask a member of staff. As with any new system additional changes may be made in the future to clarify these groupings further.

Civilian This is our base-level threat. You might be good in a one-on-one fight, but you couldn't stand up to much else. All NPCs are automatically this level unless specifically stated by staff.
Street Sweeper Stepping up a bit on our power scale, a Street-level threat is someone who could hold their own in a fight on the street. They can't smash through walls, but they're able to dig in and defend themselves from most civilian level threats. These are your literal street fighters.
Block Buster Characters at this level can brush off civilian level threats while barely breaking a sweat. They might be able to leap tall buildings or pull up street signs as weapons. If you have any form of superhuman ability, you probably belong here.
City Smasher As the name suggests, this tier is for those whose actions and abilities could threaten an entire city if used for ill intent. If you could potentially require the military to be called in to stop you this is where you'll be grouped.
Planet Breaker This is where the real superheroes are placed. Your influence is on a global scale. You don't deal with police, you deal with nations. It could be literal, it could be figurative, but if you could pose a threat to an entire planet alone this is your home.
Galactic Titan A galactic-level threat won't be on the game without multiple staff approvals. You can move or destroy planets with your powers or actions. You have skills and abilities which surpass even the super men. Few can stop you. Characters who can rewrite reality might be listed here as long as they can be killed by conventional means.
Cosmic Force If you apply for this powerful of a character you'll probably get denied on the spot. This tier is reserved for characters who could threaten the multiverse. True Gods and masters of manipulating existence only. Even the devil himself doesn't stand on this level. These characters are often beyond the physical form making them almost Aspects of Reality. Most might even seem immortal from any other level.
