!The Bunggodverse/BGV (ISZATSO)
A “what if” question—what if numerous myths religions, and folktales weren’t just real, but were all condensed in the same world and constantly at war with eachother? This is, of course, done with a healthy side serving of aliens, conspiracy theories, violence, and naked cavemen punching planets in half.
* OurGodsAreDifferent: In the Bunggodverse, numerous gods have already been defeated or pushed from their prime by the time we see them. The Olympians, Vanir, Danu, and the Ninth Wind Gods are dead, the Aesir are old and barely still capable of fighting, and the Ennead are in hiding. This is due in large part to the conquests of New Roma, the rebirth of Rome complete with technology capable of challenging the very gods, salvaged from alien wreckage.
[[folder:The Champion]]
!!The Champion/Bunggod
A neolithic caveman warrior who, after first contact with the Aetherians left his mate and child dead, gained godly strength and rewrote the rules of reality to bend to his will simply because he ''really, really wanted revenge.'' He declared war on any breathing thing not human, and made a vow to destroy them through nothing but brute force alone and the willpower of a man thirsty for vengeance.
* AntiHero: If you're a human at least. Bunggod is strong, determined, protective of humanity and certainly has an etiquette of a sort around him, but he's also a vicious murderer when it comes to non-humans and even committed genocide on an unfortunate alien species per WordOfGod;
* AllCavemenWereNeanderthals: Taken a bit further than the usual trope: this one caveman is a ''god''.
* {{Determinator}}: WordOfGod directly credits his godlike strength on this trope. Heavily flawed as he might be, that one caveman's belief and determination empowers him immensely all the same.
* DumbMuscle: Downplayed. Bunggod has some strong morals about himself and only look dumb because of his HulkSpeak, but he has a ''very'' narrow worldview that he's very keen on applying with his superhuman strength, without questioning himself in any manner. He's not dumb as much as he simply doesn't care for alternatives.
* FantasticRacism: Has ''very'' little tolerance for non-human species and will attack them on sight, as he did with a group of innocent Albinaurics. Since humans are drastically outnumbered in the arena, this gives him a very broad list of targets.
* HulkSpeak: Communicate this way, as befit of a caveman.
* HumanityIsSuperior: Embraces this mindset to an extent, fighting to protect humans and battling non-human species like aliens, deities or magical monsters. His ascent to such power through sheer human determination is also very fitting for this trope.
* SuperStrength: On a level sufficient to fight GW!Thor when he's putting in effort, after GW!Thor had just helped reaffirm his might by easily destroying a gigantic dragon in one blow.
* WorthyOpponent: GW!Thor ends up considering him one during their bout, thanks to his brutish strength and cunning in battles.
