** These kind of characters are extremely good looking. It isn't uncommon for numerous characters mentioning their attractiveness often.They always have a lot of people after then at all times. Their beauty is magazine cover-worthy [[GreenEyedMonster and they are usually envied a lot]].Beyond that, characters don't act particularly different around them.

** This people aren't nessesarily ugly... they just look somehow "unnatural," "creepy," or "weird." There is just something in them that doesn't look right.

* In ''MetalGearSolid 4'', the BB Corps are physically on the top end of World Class, but in practice are terrifying Imperfect Beauties due to their animalistic {{Power Suit}}s and [[{{Understatement}} unstable]] personalities. Snake is also implied to be an ex-World Class-now-Imperfect, with his imperfection being his age, its effect on his appearance likened by Drebin to the effect of the BB Corps's suits.

* In Zoey 101 james is considered "World class beauty" while Logan is considered '''Common beauty'''.

** Justin is so supremely handsome that nearly every woman (and several men and even animals) fall instantly in love with him.
** Lindsay, Alejandro and Heather are extremely good looking, with numerous characters mentioning their attractiveness. However unlike Justin, no one looses control of themselves simply by looking at them (Alejandro comes close, but even he has to speak before his charm fully kicks in.)
** Gwen, Izzy, Duncan, Trent, Courtney, Bridgette etc. are attractive, but not enough to draw every eye in the room. A couple of people call each of them hot, but that's it.

* Ahiru from PrincessTutu is a Cool Average. Despite not being described as the most atractive person.[[WhenSheSmiles Her personality and her happy disposition]] [[spoiler: made Fakir fall in love with her]]

** Mytho (at least from Ahiru point of view) is described as divine level.Due to the fact that Ahiru became completely obssed with him, even becoming Princess Tutu for him.[[spoiler: It wasn't love as revealed in the final episode, becuase Krahe was the one who was really in love with him]].

** For these people, "Gorgeous" would be an insult. Their beauty is so great, it appears to be nothing short of divine intervention (and it may well be).[[EvenTheGirlsWantHer They may even attract]] [[EvenTheGuysWantHim people of the same gender]]. They are so beautiful, in fact, that everyone loses control of themselves simply by looking at them. [[BeyondTheImpossible You could stare at them for hours]].

* '''[[TheGrotesque Most Horrible Ever]]'''

* '''[[EldritchAbombination Lovecraftian]]'''
** They are so ugly, you may go insane just by looking at them!

** Hancock is Divine Level Beauty. Nami and Robin, especially Nami, and a few others are World Class Beauty. Most other female characters, except the [[Gonk Gonks]] are Common Beauty.

** Hellen of Troy is a rare, non-god example from classical mythology that none the less has a Divine level beauty. Her beauty started the famous Trojan War.

[[AC:Videogames]]

* {{Halo}} plays with the scale, in between the whole [[ApocalypseHow "Survival of Humanity"]] [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt thing.]]
** Commander Anders is a Word class beauty working as a scientist for the UNSC.
** Both Cortana and Serena are depicted as Word class beauties. Not hard for them, due to the fact they are AI and can look as they please.
** The flood is "Most hoorible ever" due to the fact that they have made people insane just for the fear of being assimilated by them.[[spoiler: A marine in halo1 and another in halo 3 became literally insane becuase of them]]. Not surprisingly due to the fact taht they are a mutated mass of human flesh.

This scale is to show how beautiful someone is ''to the rest of the cast,'' not to the audience.

* ''{{GURPS}}'' literally has such a sliding scale - every character can have an above- or below-average appearance as an advantage or disadvantage (the scale is [[SoBeautifulItsACurse Very Beautiful]], Beautiful, Attractive, Average, Unattractictive, Ugly, Hideous).

* The mutants in {{Futurama}} are a Most Horrible Ever example. They are people mutated by toxic waste and their children are almost always born horribly mutated. The law forces them to live in the sewers because they're so hideous.
