Fantasy race/faction ranking

Brood/Dragon Clan (Breath of Fire I, II, & III) - Country level to planet level
Endless (Breath of Fire IV) - Planet level to star level
Harmonixer (Shadow Hearts) - Star level to multiverse level
Vampire (Shadow Hearts) - Solar system level
Heroes (Fable) - Country level to continent level
please state what rank they would be. shadow hearts, endlessm i can qualify the rest i can`t.
 
i know but they aren`t really a faction. They are at each others throats all the time. Them individually and their armies would count. So
The titans
Hades spectres
Poseidon mariners
Athenas knights
Asgard warriors
 
Do you mean the factions power or their holdings? Plus there's a good distance in scope between the tiers (S & A, B & C). Plus "medieval" isn't really a power level in itself.

Anyway...

Twin Peaks is known for its cherry pie, 50s inspired noir crime thriller, and quirky lynchian humor. However that stuff is a mere illusionary facade of the show which is metatextually shattered and bludgeoned hard by Lynch come the last episode of Season 2 and Fire Walk With Me, which basically goes out of its way to dunk on the idea that Twin Peaks is just some weird cop show.
ive seen all of it and The Return lol it's my favorite show. I've just never agreed with omniversal Twin Peaks or whatever people want to call it
as far as I know these claims originated with the VSB threads
https://vsbattles.com/threads/twin-peaks-upgrades-again-possible-tier-0-revisions.69182/

but this thread is nonsense for many reasons and isn't even internally consistent. The primary issue is you can't scale David Lynch being a follower of transcendental meditation to his fiction unless said fiction, or his statements related to it, directly tie them together. The Unified Field is not directly mentioned anywhere in the show, and nobody even addresses the Mauve Sea directly in The Return. Inland Empire has far more direct references to transcendental meditation and it still wouldn't be enough to give that movie of all things omniversal scaling. The logic they're using to justify it is equivalent to giving the Great Ones in Bloodborne the same scaling as Lovecraft based solely on the fact that Miyazaki drew inspiration from Lovecraft's stuff. It doesn't add up. It's essentially using fan theories to justify power levels.

Then the guy followed up with this thread, which is (I think) why it's been accepted on VSB

https://vsbattles.com/threads/twin-peaks-high-1-a-upgrades-possibly.79118/

But this is still a bit unclear
  • The physical universe (called "the playground of the gods" by Mark Frost), comprised of the everyday reality inhabited by human beings and the like, as well as an infinite number of higher layers of reality, which are described as "higher vibrational qualities" completely beyond the comprehension of dwellers of lower qualities, with our universe being only the 3rd level in an endless stack. The universe is also compared to a fractal made up of infinite parts more than once, and the existence of greater beings which contain all planets and stars as their sub-atomic particles is also briefly suggested in the original series.
I'll fully admit maybe I just forgot something here, Twin Peaks is very complex and there's a lot of details and symbolism that are hard to keep track of, but I don't remember anything about infinite higher realms in the show. Again admittedly, maybe this is from one of the text stories and other material by Frost, but it isn't cited and the bulk of the scaling relies on it. An infinite amount of realms doesn't necessarily equate to omniversal anyways and the "higher vibrational strings" thing is kinda vague on its own. The Fractal bit makes the universe out to be infinite more than anything else.

I know there's tons of metafictional shit in Twin Peaks but that isn't uncommon in fiction and had never been enough to boost something that high, least from what I've seen. I just haven't seen enough to be convinced

Their power. By medieval I mean factions who are comparable to medieval armies. Basically the best they would have is numbers and power equilevant to bullet or cannon. Weak factions with weak magic basically.
 
I am making a write up to explain, but to just clear up, there is direct reference

Basically Bill Hastings has an ARG site called Search for the Zone which was used to give hints to what the cosmology of Twin Peaks looks like, and it gives links to articles by Kenneth Grant's unified field theory and levels of reality and parallel realities. In it, it explains parallel universes all reside in what he deems the "fifth dimension" which actually an infinite series of higher realities existing at an increasingly higher vibrational electric frequencies.

The way he explained it would make it at a low end multi+ IIRC, but the way the show actually used it made it far higher than that. I will need to discuss it with my friend.

Basically in terms of power for the tiers
S+ megaversal to omniversal
S universal to multiversal
A planetary to above
B below planetary but above nuke level
C peaks at nuke level
D weak, can be beaten by modern armies.

Well if this is the case then Equestria should be moved up to Tier A, the only reason I didn't put them in it before was because you said "space-fairing" factions for Tier A before which Equestria isn't, but they are casually solar system level at the high and top tiers.

Changeling Empire can stay at B though.

alright I'll wait to see the full writeup (also I wasn't aware of the ARG site having direct links so that's neat). always interested in learning more about Twin Peaks even if the power level thing was iffy to me
