So, What is a Displaced?
Let’s start this off nice and simple. What is a Displaced?
Displaced:
A Displaced, as defined by the front page of the group itself, is a person who typically has a nasty encounter with some sort of Void Dweller, such as the Merchant, and was dropped into another Universe, typically Equestria due to the Displaced being constrained to Fimfiction.
There are a few constraints to being a Displaced as well, listed below:
Displaced also rely on a Power Scale to rank them, as seen below.
Power Scale:
Endo Class: An Endo Class Displaced is, despite the variations that go from species to species, more or less a baseline average of whatever species they are Displaced as. For example, an Endo Class human Displaced would be a completely normal human, without any advantages other than what he/she had previously learned.
Exo Class: An Exo Class Displaced is simply nothing more than a being that has gained some measure of extra-ness from their Displacement. Whether this be some form of minor power or just steroids on steroids makes no difference. Exo Class Displaced would perform either like Captain America or perhaps simply just like Wade the Animorph without any more esoteric abilities.
Super Class: A Super Class Displaced is someone that the laws of physics no longer apply to in their entirety. An example of this would be any wizard or mage, any sort of being with superpowers that definitely break the laws of physics, or even just minor things, like Cyclops’ absurd ability to ricochet his eye beams. Seriously, what the flip.
Beta Class: A Beta Class Displaced is capable of, with a fair bit of concentrated effort, capable of destroying much of a small country (roughly a one hundred and thirty square mile patch of land) within approximately two days.
Alpha Class: An Alpha Class Displaced begins the commonly referred to as “OP” Tier Classes. As the lowest of this Tier of Classes, an Alpha class Displaced is capable of levelling large countries within the space of approximately a week. This also marks the end of the actual “Power” based scaling– future classes depend all on unique power sets and skill levels. An example of this is the ever so famous Kat Shifter, the Gravity Queen, or the not so famous Drake Long, the Unkillable Murder Lizard from Hell.
Uber Class: An Uber Class Displaced is the second of the OP Tier Classes and the first of the Skill/Set based Classes. An Uber Class is capable of reshaping the world around them on a whim, though there are, of course, limits. An Uber Class Displaced may be a subset of an original powerset, such as the Avatar State of an Avatar, or they may be an entire powerset all their own, such as Auric Fulcrum’s Golden Flames of Alchemy.
Titan Class: Titan Class Displaced are the highest tier of Displaced that may occur before the Displaced themselves become Void Dwellers. Titan Class Displaced are capable of reality warping, not world shaping, but full on warping and changing of the very structure of the Universe they exist in. Examples from popular media include Marvel’s Scarlet Witch, or Mr. Mxyzptlk of DC Comics. Examples in Displaced include Makuta Teridax.
Godly Class: The highest tier of the OP scale that may be reachable without Group Admin allowance. Godly Class Displaced are known as Void Dwellers, beings that are no longer tethered to existing within a Universe and are capable of drifting freely throughout the Void without any need of the sustenances and inconveniences that plague mortal life as a whole. Note that a Godly Class Displaced is only defined by their ability to survive in the Void without the need to do anything a mortal needs to do in order to survive. A Godly Class Displaced could actually have a Power Level more akin to an Exo level, with their only ability being complete and total survivability. Prominent examples include every single god ever created by anyone ever. Also, Aaron Heibai the Shadowy Salesman and All Around Jackass.
Meta Class: The Most OP of All OP. Meta Class Displaced currently number in only one (though there used to be two), Essence the Madwoman. Meta Class Displaced are, more or less, Gods of Gods. To properly comprehend their ability, one must use analogies (that may or may not be offensive to some). For example, Meta Class Displaced are to Godly Class Displaced as what the Christian God is to an ant. Meta Class Displaced are, as a rule, only allowed to be created under the supervision of the Group Admins.
Void Dwellers:
Void Dwellers are, as stated above, any being that needs not the trappings of mortal life and are capable of surviving even the harsh and destructive nature of the Void itself.
There are many Void Dwellers throughout the Void, though the most relevant examples will be covered in later chapters.
As has been said, Displaced may become Void Dwellers, though how they do so is up to a few different ways:
As an addendum, anyone is capable of becoming a Void Dweller should they meet any one of the above requirements.
Needless to say, the unfortunate average human is normally incapable of doing so.

There are a few constraints to being a Displaced as well, listed below:
- A Displaced must not be a species native to the Universe they are Displaced to. Specifically, you can not Displace a pony to Equestria or a human to Earth. That would defeat the purpose.
- A Displaced typically either becomes the costume they were wearing or gains random powers seemingly on a whim (Based on the Power Lottery system)
- A Displaced can become whatever race is best suited to their individual stories, whether it be turning into a full fledged Cybertronian, or becoming a pony. This is up to the Author’s discretion.
Displaced also rely on a Power Scale to rank them, as seen below.

There are many Void Dwellers throughout the Void, though the most relevant examples will be covered in later chapters.
As has been said, Displaced may become Void Dwellers, though how they do so is up to a few different ways:
- Having a powerset that directly relates to survival in the Void.
- Examples of this include “Shadow Body”, “Reality Warping”, “Absolute Survival”, “Omnipresence”, “Paradox”, etc.
- Gaining enough power that they can constantly expend enough energy to stay coherent without any real loss in their personal faculties.
- Ascending to a pantheon not just in the eyes of the people, but in the eyes of your fellow gods and goddesses.
As an addendum, anyone is capable of becoming a Void Dweller should they meet any one of the above requirements.
Needless to say, the unfortunate average human is normally incapable of doing so.
