Danger Rating

Introduction
Welcome to the danger level guide for the Edge of Perspective RP.

This should give you an idea of what the danger level ratings on the character pages mean, and what that means for you if you meet the character in question in the RP. Keep in mind that the characters are, of course, people and/or whimsical youkai. They could be in a different mood than usual, or something could have happened to make them friendlier/meaner than usual. The rating is only a general guideline, it's not set in stone. In addition, youkai will likely be less likely to attack other youkai and more likely to attack humans, and humans will be friendlier to other humans and more hostile towards youkai, usually.

Very Low
Essentially harmless.

Characters under this rating are not aggressive, actively avoid fighting or harming others, or are very weak. Or a combination of two or three of those. They're probably more afraid of you than you are of them, or they just want a nice, friendly conversation instead of a battle. Noncombatants usually fall under this rating, though a very low danger rating doesn't necessarily mean a character can't defend themselves if necessary.

Low
Fairly peaceful.

Most characters under this rating won't actively attack others or get into fights. They may be any power level, though the majority of characters with a low danger level are on the lower side of the power scale. Most human characters that aren't noncombatants fall under this level, though a fair number of youkai are peaceful enough to have it as well.

Average
Middle of the road. Probably indifferent.

An average danger rating could mean a few different things. Characters with this rating could be peaceful or aggressive, strong or weak, or so on. They have a combination of personality and powers that makes them somewhat dangerous, but not excessively so. It's best to be a bit cautious around them, though if one doesn't attack them, get on their nerves, or get in their way, they probably won't start a fight. They also tend to be lazy and/or uncaring.

High
Fairly dangerous. Be wary.

High danger ratings mean the character in question is likely to be aggressive and may actively attack on sight. They're probably relatively powerful, and not terribly friendly. They aren't going to immediately pick a fight with everyone they come across, but always be ready around them.

Very High
Violent and highly aggressive.

Exercise caution around characters with a very high danger rating at all times. They might attack for the smallest of reasons, and they likely have the power to back that up. They may or may not be able to be reasoned with, though assuming they can be talked down is highly hazardous to one's health. Stay out of their way if possible. And failing that, do not get on their bad side.

Extremely High
Running into these characters is very, very bad.

If you come across a character with an extremely high danger rating, you're in serious trouble. Such characters are extremely aggressive and likely to pick a fight simply for the fun of it. They also have very high levels of power, and rarely hold back (if at all). Talking to them is nigh-futile. If you can't put up a fight or run away, there isn't much hope for you.
