Speed

Definitions of Speed
Speed is a magnitude statistic in which a character travels a certain distance within a determined interval of time. There are different variations on speed that we'll divide into three: Attack Speed, Reaction Speed and Travel Speed.

Attack Speed
The speed at which a character attacks. These are often unleashing ranged attacks in the form of lasers or projectiles or some kind of special attack.

Reaction Speed
Reaction speed is how fast a person can react to an attack or situation. This often grants a short burst of speed where the character can move fast enough to move away.

Not all reactions are genuine as some are aim dodging. For instance, if someone sees an attack charging or drawing a weapon and then dodges, it is less dodging the attack and more dodging the user.

Reaction speed is reacting to an attack that you don’t know will happen or at point blank range. For those reasons, reaction times tend to be higher than traveling.

Reactions are also the norm for what is often dubbed "combat speed" as fighting in melee range generally means you are capable of reacting and controlling your limbs and movements against another opponent.

Travel Speed
The speed at which one travels. Some characters use different means of travel like running, hovering, flying or any other assortment of maneuvers. Teleportation does not count since it is essentially bypassing the need to move anywhere and is going to the destination instantly.

Categories of Speed
Below there’s a list of parameters in which can determine a character's speed rating.
 * Immobile: Characters who cannot move independently from their starting position at all.
 * Below Human: Slower than the typical human such as ground insects and even slower, about less than 5 m/s.
 * Human: Typical speeds of a normal human, about 5 to 9.8 m/s.
 * Peak Human: Olympic champions and world record breaking anomalies that are possible for humans in the real world: between 9.8 to 17.89 m/s.
 * Superhuman: Speeds found in most ground vehicles and all animals in the world that are faster than humans, between 17.89 to 89 m/s.
 * Faster than the Eye: Anything that moves too fast for human vision to keep up with at close ranges, about mach 0.262 to less than mach 1 or 89 to less than 340 m/s.
 * Transonic: The speed of sound in the atmosphere at sea level: mach 1 or 340 m/s. From this instance, Mach speeds are suggested to be employed.
 * Supersonic: More than mach 1 to less than mach 5.
 * Hypersonic: From mach 5 to less than mach 100.
 * Massively Hypersonic: From mach 100 to less than mach 1000.
 * Massively Hypersonic+: From mach 1000 to less than mach 8810.
 * Sub-relativistic: Anything that starts from mach 8,810 to anything less than mach 88,100. (0.01 to less than 0.1 c)
 * Relativistic: Anything from 0.1 to less than 1 c.
 * Speed of Light: Anything that is 1 c. This means 299,792,458m/s or Mach 881000.
 * FTL: Anything above 1 c to less than 1,000 c.
 * Massively FTL: About 1,000 c up to less than 1 million c.
 * Massively FTL+: From 1 million c up to all finite values below infinity.
 * Infinite: Movement in which any distance can be crossed instantly with absolutely 0 travel time, akin to pseudo teleportation via pure speed alone. On the scale, this basically means speed whose value is infinitely faster than light. Unlike immeasurable speed, characters with infinite speed are still confined to space and time even though everything they do happens in a literal instant.
 * Immeasurable: Movement with complete disregard for linear time, ignoring one of the fundamental principles of conventional speed since even infinite speed still operates on travel time over a distance, just that the value of time is 0. This level applies to characters whose very nature allows them to move beyond and above the bounds of space and time. Whereas infinite speed creates the illusion of pseudo spatial omnipresence, immeasurable effectively creates the illusion of pseudo spatial and temporal omnipresence. Characters who are explicitly stated and shown to exist on a higher reality/plane above space and time qualify for this parameter.
 * Irrelevant: Movement in which all concepts of space and time whether conventional or transcendental are rendered null on this level. This is usually reserved to the highest level cosmic beings whose existence is above and beyond all cosmological concepts and laws such as motion, dimensions, realities, universes, multiverses, etc. This transcends all levels of infinity, even going beyond limits that characters with immeasurable speed are bound to as they are above the necessity of speed. In other words, reserved to massively multiversal level characters.
 * Omnipresent: Rather than a speed level, it’s more akin to a state of existence. They are effectively similar to being infinite or immeasurable since they occupy all parts of a given space or/and time. Further clarifications should always be made nonetheless such as being omnipresent across only space, time, both at once or something more esoteric as well as scale of omnipresence such as planetary, galactic, universal, multiversal, etc.
