I'll start.

Mine is the "Frozen Soul" from my old novel Gate Guardian: Song of the Frozen Soul.

In powerscaling standards, she is Tier 0 (Boundless).

The Frozen Soul is a divine entity that possesses the Outer God Core of Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth. She is bound to sing an omnipotent song to keep the balance of the omniverses, realities, and timelines. Once she stops singing this omnipotent song, everything will cease to exist, except the Frozen Soul herself. Also has the power to break the fourth wall (in her weaker versions to joke with the author and the readers)

Not a particularly big fan of powerscaling. I feel like giving it to much attention can put an unnecessary restraint on the plot or actions of characters.

That being said, in the story I’m currently working on (albeit very slowly) the most powerful character introduced is the Queen of The Sprites. Since the story is heavily based on fae folklore from Scotland, England and Ireland, faeries in the story have a lot of restraints and laws put on them and their magic especially when in the human world, with pixies/sprites being the only exception. So she has magic abilities far beyond that of a human, and no restrictions that prevent her from manifesting or interfering in the human realm.

In my novel Starry Sky, the most powerful character was actually chosen at random every year from pool of strong characters. They could do anything they wished basically for a year. Sometimes the baton passed to their rival whom they humiliated. :sweating_profusely:

From my unreleased work.

A dude who is literally the biggest thing on the discworld.

To put into perspective, he is as tall as the world is wide.

Powerful people are like specks of dust to him.

And out of spite, he ate the newborn world spirit because he was the destined demon god to be felled.

As in, he was engineered to be a hatesink/ ultimate villain like Randidly's spear teacher, to be used as a unifiying force for the people of the land then killed off to usher in a new age of hope with the newborn world spirit consuming his entire existence.

That did not happen.

Instead, dude went super titan and killed the world that is unkind to him, killing himself in the process.

The Universal Matrix, the administrator of the universe itself. It's current and only feat is imprisoning the Buddha permanently, put him in a realm between life and death, out of the cycle of reincarnation. Being the First Scion of the Universe, it's job is to keep the universe itself in check and deal with any major anomaly

With feats, there is Shemiss Aluqdim the Pale Court with the feat of destroying almost all life in the universe, being the origin of life itself and the first member of the Harbinger of Life. Right now, they are imprisoned in a Cosmic Bubble (jail time).

The Pale Court is the Sun of the Sol system, OUR solar system, but also preparing 144 quintillion+ planet busting projectiles around the entire system, aimed at the planets that held life stemming from their Template of Life, and ready to fire once the jail time end.

My strongest protagonist would be Iori Nomia, from my story Eldritch. She had the inherent ability of someone who travels in her dreams to eldritch planes, which usually simply ended with her dream avatar perishing and her waking up. Yet then she got to a particularly bad one, merged with a lake of worms, and by now became a living dream that grows over dimensions and creates her own reality, similar to Azathoth. She can, due to her inherent ability, reach basically any place and space, while being connected to her own dream dimension. Basically, her powers are usually an unlimited eldritch growth that spreads and moves in accordance with her will.

My strongest being in general is the one who's going to best her. Some form of overseer of the balance of the overlying multiverse (mind me, all multiverses combined, that poor soul got her piece of work cut out for herself). They're pretty chill, but the fact that Iori can grow without restrictions, even over protected worlds, is an issue that has to be addressed before she grows too big. Otherwise, it's a hassle to contain something that grows in four (or more) dimensions.

My MC, Avice, from my first series on here I guess, since she’s basically the Avatar lmao. Honestly I don’t put much thought into power

That comes down to either Vashiil the Black Moon or Granny.

Vashiil is from The Gray Ranger: Unforgiven. It was once Vashiil the Golden Moon of Earth (each moon gave people power over a different element) but the evil and stupidly vague "Corruption" turned it into the Black Moon. It crashed into the planet and tried to merge with it to become Vashiil the Black Planet, but the god of that world banished it and the chunk of the planet it had corrupted into a pocket dimension called the Graylands. So it's spent the last thousand years corrupting the hell out of the Graylands until it became a desolate nightmarescape in the hopes of wearing down the walls of reality itself and escaping back into the real world.

Then there's Granny. Granny is from Amber Silverblood: Rogue Wolf, and Granny is God. Like Vashiil, she lives in a pocket dimension that sits nextdoor to our reality, but it's unclear if she's there because she chooses to be or because something else trapped her there. Either way, she's still able to see and reach into our world and pull people into her realm, which she calls Granny's Cottage, where she's in complete godlike control. She searches our world for miserable people who have given up on life, pulls them into her world, surpresses their memories, transforms them into children, and tells them she's their grandmother and that they've come to stay at her cottage for a while. Her house is filled with toys and magic crap, and the other "children" are their cousins. And here's the plot twist: she's completely, 100% genuine. I purposefully built it up like this was going to be a Coraline situation, only for Amber to realize at the end that Granny really is a benevolent all-powerful deity who only wants a family to love. Amber ends up leaving (because Amber isn't allowed to be happy) but all the others stay with Granny and live forever in childlike happiness.

In my current novel? Strongest character would probably be Ignis, the lord of war and fire god of destruction.

But if we stick to human characters? There's probably someone who rushed for "server first level 80", and most likely did it on one of the starter class. So there's probably a level 80 elementalist out there with max level gear when my protagonists are still grinding to 15.

But the party main tank is probably one of the most skilled player. She's just not in a rush to level up, as she wants to do it her way.

Basically many answers, depending on the angle.

I got like bunch of gods, not capital G gods with no limit to their powers, but they can still alter rules of reality on grandscale to support a whole magic system, give soul to creatures, our outright create new ones on a whim etc.
