Roland: Is Laharl really Lawful Evil? Always thought of him as a Neutral or even a Chaotic Good (with the best ending) in heavy denial.

Sparkysharps: I'd have to agree on that, though I don't know where to place him (It is, after all, difficult to describe a guy who prides himself as a complete asshole as "good"). Perhaps he should be Lawful Neutral

Shale: He seems like Evil with Neutral leanings to me. He follows the Heroic Sociopath trait of causing suffering on a personal level (and liking it), but being goaded, coerced or convinced it's in his best interest to do the "right" thing on a larger scale. I never saw the best ending, though.

Sparkysharps: Best ending (it's one where Laharl refuses to kill Seraph Lamington because it's not what Flonne would have wanted. He then proceeds to try to sacrifice himself to revive her, but is stopped by Vyers) is canon in the games. Besides, he's the God of Noble Demons; noble demons, by definition, are in denial over their apparent non-evilness.

Pete Man: I'm wondering if we should ascend the Vorlons and the Ancients, as the Patrons of Those Touched By Vorlons and Neglectful Precursors respectively.

Romanticide: Shouldn't Dracula be considered as a being of many avatars? And Alucard of Hellsing one of those.

Sparkysharps:

Enlong: Ooh. I think I did a bad thing. Giygas appears to be in conflict with Darkseid for the title of God of Nightmare Fuel. Any suggestions?


Drascin: Couple details. First, Wily Four Eyes I hate you for getting here before me and giving Tinkerbell the position over Cirno :P. And second, if you don't mind, I'm taking Arcueid from Dracula's follower's - she's a magically engineered vampire killer and Dracula is exactly the sort of being she has spent her whole life killing. Having her as his follower caused my brain to do a screeching halt for a second there. She'd be another one of his nemesis if anything.


Shay Guy: Isn't Ash Ketchum already the god of toys?

Sparkysharps: Ash is a god of merchandising, not of magically animate toys. I would argue that the cast of Toy Story (can we get that minimized to Buzz and Woody?) is overlapping on Suigintou's title. Either we need to differentiate them, or one of them needs to get cut.


C Trombley: I had to change the Cthuhu entry. Cthulhu is not a fucking Great Old One, it and it's spawn fought and defeated the Great Old Ones. Critical Research Failure from TV Tropes, what is the world coming to.

Uh, no. Cthulhu IS a Great Old One. He and his spawn fought and defeated the Old Ones (a race completely unrelated to the Great Old Ones), also known as the Primordial Ones, most commonly known as the Elder Things (which one is the proper title varies from person to person). He isn't an Elder God, which are, in fact, what imprisoned him and the other Great Old Ones (well, depending on what you do and don't believe. The mythos are generally inconsistent, just how Lovecraft wanted it). Although, do we really need both Azathoth and Cthulhu? That basically doubles up on the deities of Eldritch Abominations, Cosmic Horror, Tomes of Eldritch Lore, and the like. We should probably delete one and merge the portfolios.

Sabre Justice: Why not stick Cthulhu in the Main House? He's at least as popular, powerful and influential as most of the deities there.


Chris X: Good God, Medusa's portfolio of Dark Is Not Evil is so often contested. I'm thinking that she should take a new position... something like 'Goddess of Petrification'. Though, where does that go?


Sabre Justice: Don't be alarmed folks, I'm just populating the Bestiary. Got any suggestions for a deity of Dinosaurs? (Littlefoot and Barney are in the Disgraces and Fallen, sorry)

Sabre Justice: On another note, this page really is a bit big and unwieldy, and some gods really don't seem to fit the criteria. This is not the 'miscellaneous' category! Time to do more shifting...


Trigger Loaded: What the heck does Emperor Palamecia have to do with being Kicked Upstairs? Kicked Upstairs is when one is promoted to a position of high prestige but little power. The Emperor, once killed, took over hell and was right back at work sending demons into the world. That doesn't strike me as a position of little power. Or does this have something to do with his role in Dissidia?


Yamiblade: I would like to applaud who ever tossed Brian into the disgraces. Now who should we put to Replace him as God of Anthropomorphism?
