Acasualty

Analysis/Discussion

Do you think Istaroth has acausality? I Mainly, use the All Fiction definition for it:

Acausality is when a character lacks conventional causality, with the scale varying depending on the character. For some, this means they don’t exist in the past or future; for others, it means they defy all logic and act with complete disregard for any causal system.

Types of Acausality • Type 1: Paradox Immunity Characters with this type of acausality are immune to changes in the past and standard temporal paradoxes. • Type 2: Free Will Users of this type have no future or past, existing only in the present. As a result, any attempt to change or perceive their future or past often fails. • Type 3: Temporal Permanence Characters with this type are difficult to kill because other versions of themselves—from different points in time and/or from other universes—can survive the destruction of the “original” and act in their place. • Type 4: Irregular Causality Users of this type exist on a different or irregular level of cause and effect compared to our own. This grants them resistance to abilities that rely on conventional cause and effect, such as causality manipulation, fate manipulation, precognition, and similar powers. Any attempt by someone or something that operates within a conventional causal system cannot traditionally harm the user, as the attack is confined to a system the user does not exist within. Beings stated to exist “outside” causality (with no further context) also fit this category. • Type 5: Causality Transcendence Users of this type do not function on any level of causality and transcend cause and effect entirely. Any attempts by someone or something that operates within a causal system cannot traditionally harm the user, as neither the cause nor the effect will initiate. Interacting with them is virtually impossible. Characters who are stated to be unbound by all possible causal systems of a setting or universe also fit this category.
