Vertical Dimensional Scale

Scale 1-10
The Vertical Dimensional Scale displays Conscious Level of physical and mental awareness. The different layers greatly alter how a being sees the universe, either improving it greatly or making the ability to see distinctly worse.

Level One:
The lowest possible point on the awareness scale, granted to only the weakest of living creatures, microsopic creatures, small organisms, or likewise. For a any being that was born on a higher scale, being forced into the First Dimension is like losing all sense of other living creatures, seeing merely a vague shadow of the world they once knew. Unlike the Second Dimension, there is no escape back into a higher level.

Level Two:
The second lowest point on the awareness scale, it acts as a sort of limbo below the Subtransmission Zone. A dark, twisted version of standard reality, it appears somewhat like "The Upside Down". Any being from a higher level that moves into the second dimension moves through a "Saloon Door" gateway, a one way door down in a sense. One sees "ghost" of beings from a higher level and comprehends Time at an incredibly low speed. The only way back is to be powerful enough to force the one way gate back open, to break reality in a sense. Spending too long here will eventually shift you into the First Dimension

The Subtransmission Zone
Located beneath the Third Dimension, it acts as a wellspring for evil beings looking to claw their way into the dimensions. Very little is known about this place, as entering it means near certain death.

Level Three:
The Third Dimension is a foggy, shadow like version of standard reality. Time is roughly half the speed of the standard reality as well. It is far easier to cross from here into the Forth Dimension, but Dimensional Guardians watch for the few beings that have made it past the Subtransmission Zone, making the journey considerably more difficult.

Level Four:
The Fourth Dimension is a variant of standard reality that seems nearly the same, save for slightly slower time and exaggerated shadows. It is used most often for meditation, calm enough to relax but not far enough down to pose any serious risk.

Level Five:
Typically refered to as the Standard Reality, the Fifth Dimension is the Level most conscious beings percive as normal, in terms of physical existance, time and everything else. Any beings above this point quickly become difficult for anyone below to comprehend

Level Six:
Appears slightly above our normal comprehension, beings on this level experience time at 1/4 more than our normal perception. Certain figures that appear as "ghosts" to the majority of people in the Fifth Dimension can be seen clearly now, even communicated with at times. It is easier to see the world around and perception of reality is generally improved

Level Seven:
The Seventh Dimension is the highest dimensional level ever recorded for an entire civization, Chronotempus, and their significant advancements show the ability the higher dimensions grant. Here, most immortal beings start their life, as they require the quickened time to function well, with this dimension moving at twice the speed of standard reality. Here, wavelengths from the lower dimensions, among other similar things become easier and easier to pick up, and you can perceive far more than normal. It it very difficult for a being of the Fifth or even the Sixth Dimension to rise into the Seventh. Mild ESP, mind reading and other intracognative abilities observed here.

Level Eight:
The Eighth Dimension is characterized primarily by improvement of the abilities described in Level seven, and little else comes with this dimension. The main difference is the fact that you begin to become difficult to comprehend to lesser beings

Level Nine:
The second highest verifiable level, here you perceive much of reality at once and at a much faster rate than most. You gain influence over the natural law and can warp space and time to a minor degree. You most often appear as a spirit or ghost apparition and begin to lose your connection to the corporeal plane of existence

Level Ten:
The highest verifiable level, The Tenth Dimension is a hyperrealisting, shifting perception of both the physical and the metaphysical. You can perceive all organisms, microscopic and above and you speed along reality as if it is nothing. It is near impoedible to achieve this level, and must almost always be granted, as those operating on the Tenth Dimension have large control over the elements and space time.

Levels 11-15:
Beyond this point are levels that have not been verified and cannot be proven. Very little or no physical evidence exists of these planes, they are merely rumors of higher powers.

Level 11:
The Eleventh Dimension is the first of the rumored dimension, and many say this is the first step towards Dimensional transcendence, the ultimate goal for those attempting to reach the Fifteenth Dimension. It is said your corporeal body disappear, and you transition into a metaphysical state.

Level 12:
Potentially further expansion of previous level

Level 13:
Grip on the world around you loosens, less ability to Interact, nothing except a few special beings and gods can interpret you

Level 14:
Continued Expansion, seen as the "Point of no Return"

Level 15:
Here, on the Fifth Dimension it is said you transcend above the grip of time and space, you exist across all time and all reality, able to change the flow of creation at will. You exist in a state barely comprehensable to us and attempting to return from this point would likely return you to the grip of death, or at least a comatose state.

Infinity Levels
Behind this point are speculated dimensions that we cannot understand or even attempt to describe. They are most likely forever beyond our reach and dangerous even for the most powerful cosmic entities. Study is beyond impossible, unfeasable.
