-->-- '''Gone'' to Atziluth

What do you get when you put ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'', ''Franchise/TheWorldOfDarkness'', ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'', ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' and other works in a blender? Goddess Reborn Chronicles, apparently. Based on the Storyteller/Storytelling system from White Wolf, Goddess Reborn began life when two friends planning a Nocturne roleplay realized both were working on a tabletop version of [[AffectionateNickname Mega Ten]] and decided to combine their efforts. The main difference between the mainline series was [[ApocalypseHow the severity of apocalyptic damage to humanity and the earth]]. As development continued to show a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} world where demons and humans lived side-by-side]], the translation became InNameOnly, thus the oblique name. [[WordOfGod One creator did this to]] [[PragmaticAdaptation enable multi-group stories]]. [[LighterAndSofter Although it isn’t as dark as its parent series]], its intention is to present both the main series and some of its shootoffs as a cohesive whole with inspirations from several other works.

This is an in-progress work. The creator, [[JustForFun/OneOfUs Anthiens]] will be [[WordOfGod taking questions and answering them]] in discussion as able.

----
!!''Goddess Reborn Chronicle'' contains examples of:

* AntiAntiChrist: [[OneNameOnly Signature Chaos character Isa]] is the reincarnation of Lilith. [[WalkingTheEarth She just wants to explore the world and hang out with her friends]] and thinks the [[TheWorldIsJustAwesome world is worth living in]], [[GoodIsNotDumb if with some work]].
* ApocalypseHow: Class 1-2. A number of large cities are seen in the fiction as abandoned, due to war, magic, tech gone awry, all of the above or what is unknown. This is [[LighterAndSofter nowhere near as bad as some of the apocalypses in Mega Ten]].
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Rumored of Dr. Steven. The goals of [[Franchise/{{Persona}} Tensei]] as well as [[OurGodsAreDifferent Veritas and Lucifer]].
* BlessedWithSuck: Cambions and Guardians can change someone into their template, if they want to or not. The former creates an inferior, unstable version of a cambion, loyal to them. Beelzebub approves. Out-of-character, this requires the player's permission.
* BodyHorror: The [[GuardianAngel Guardians]] and artificial [[HalfHumanHybrid Cambions]] can have this happen as a result of their transformation.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[WordOfGod Stated as impossible]] for the three supernatural templates. Arguably, Vessels who now have human form, no matter how transcendent or powerful they were from the angel/demon's point of view.
* CameBackWrong: There are a number of [[GuardianAngel Guardians]] and [[HalfHumanHybrid Cambions]] who this happens to, becoming a "vessel", also known as [[TheHeartless husks]] or [[HumanoidAbomination abominations]].
* CanonForeigner: [[OriginalCharacter Veritas]], a gnostic goddess who patrons the neutral faction.
* AChatWithSatan: Part of how Tensei are born. Isa did this with Lilith-and Lucifer, due to [[OurSoulsAreDifferent shenanigans]].
* CrystalDragonJesus: Both Veritas and Lucifer have savior and Promethian elements to them that their followers hold as ideals.
* CuteBruiser: Isa might have magic, but she likes fist fights over using spells and she can take a hit.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Chaos-aligned demons aren’t necessarily evil, even if they look like it.
* EldritchLocation: There are four worlds, we live in half of Assiah, where demons live in the other three. God (once) took up the entirety of the highest layer, Atziluth but lost ground to Veritas and Lucifer.
* TheFakeCutie: [[LouisCypher Nicky]], who is actually [[GenderBender Lucifer]] in human form. As for why she seems to be a GenkiGirl may have something to do with [[OurSoulsAreDifferent part of him]] actually ''being'' a [[AntiAntiChrist sweet, perky girl]].
* FallenAngel: All over the place, including '''the''' fallen angel.
* FantasticRacism: A lot of people still hate and fear demons and their progeny.
* FantasyKitchenSink: There's a wide breadth and depth of demons to interact and negotiate with.
* FemaleAngelMaleDemon: [[DefiedTrope defied]] and [[ZigZaggedTrope zig-zagged]]. There's demons and angels who are male, female and neither. With [[ThoseTwoGuys Isa and Cave's past lives]], it's inverted-she's the demon, he's the angel(ically aligned).
* GreyAndGrayMorality: Basically.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: In a sense. [[ShrugOfGod It's both stated that it's not known if demons predate humanity or not]], but [[UnreliableNarrator the 'not' evidence is stated by a]] [[WhoYouGonnaCall Devil Buster]].
* HotBlooded: Isa, though she's also as quick to forgive and forget.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Humans are equally capable of evil as any demon or angels. And inversely, [[NobleDemon demons are capable of as much good]].
* IAmWho: Isa, Cave and a good section of Tensei who connect to reincarnations as a part of the awakening of their Personas.
* IdiotBall: [[FantasticRacism Why mistreat the albino]] [[BullyingADragon Guardian who is having doubts about her faith?]]
* IHatePastMe: Isa is unimpressed by Lilith's exegesis and wants to stand on her own two feet, instead of letting herself make the same mistakes.
* InsistentTerminology: Demons is really a catch-all term, including angels, gods, fairies and more.
* InterspeciesRomance: Not unknown. The [[HalfHumanHybrid results aren’t really]] [[FantasticRacism welcomed a lot of places]].
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: The Tensei do this. [[AndIMustScream They can get stuck there]].
* KnightTemplar: The [[LightIsNotGood Law Heroine]] starts out that way.
* LightIsNotGood: It being based on Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei, par for the course.
* LouisCypher: Unusually, [[GenderBender she]] is known as [[TheFakeCutie Nicky]].
* {{Magitek}}: The Demon Summoning Program and working teleporters are just the tip of the iceberg.
* MesACrowd: A potential thing for Tensei, Guardians and Cambions. [[HumanoidAbomination If they're unlucky]], ''they'' [[AndIMustScream may lose their original self entirely]].
* NatureIsNotNice
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Dr. Steven, a recurring character of Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei but here, his family name is Asra.
* OlympusMons: Endgame possibilities include ''summoning facets of primordial beings'' like Lucifer and God.
* OrderVersusChaos: A big theme here, though neutral is a viable route. Each has upsides and down.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: They are deva, with varying levels of self awareness. They can also be [[TabletopGame/{{Exalted}} melded to a human's soul]], though [[CameBackWrong it doesn't always work]].
* OurSoulsAreDifferent: The souls here are like the hun and po of ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' or the ka and ba of Egyptian myth. Also includes:
** OurDemonsAreDifferent: They are organized by clans. Recently, humans identified them by "classes" 1-5. There's rumor of class 6 beings, but they aren't quite summonable or require special code or equipment. They are also organized like [[TabletopGame/{{Exalted}} Yozi]], with five levels, instead of three circles.
** OurGodsAreDifferent: They have different origins, some exist due to humanity, [[FallenAngel one split off from his greater whole because he was disgusted by his other facets]].
** OurAngelsAreDifferent: Angels can also [[BodyHorror have pants-filling level of horrifying forms]].
* PhysicalGods: They can be bargained with and made minions of, even.
* PostCyberpunk: Though it clearly has cyberpunk styling (as befitting its source material), it rejects some of cyberpunk's pillar philosophies and focuses on both groups and individuals having different kinds of power, [[ArcWords choice being the most important]] [[MundaneUtility power of them all]]. However, it also accepts that sometimes people come from situations where choices are stripped away.
* PragmaticAdaptation: For maximum playability, parts of the canon were [[InNameOnly changed so much, as to be unrecognizable]].
** Some details of the Shin Megami Tensei series remains out of reach, due to [[NoExportForYou not being available in English or Polish]].
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Lucifer and Veritas both.
* {{Reincarnation}}: All over the place, it's even in the title.
* RefusalOfTheCall: Isa and her friend, Cave. Their [[MesACrowd past life selves are]] not amused.
* SadlyMythtaken: God is neither omnipotent, nor omniscient. [[LightIsNotGood This is a very fortunate thing]].
* ScienceFantasy: Naturally, given its sources.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: With a reference to ''Franchise/EvilDead'', to boot.
* ShoutOut: Several. A sidebar of [[BodyHorror failed attempts to make the]] [[GuardianAngel Guardians]] include an [[TabletopGame/{{Exalted}} orb filled with silvery fire that went]] ''[[OhCrap missing]]''. Others are out there and they are '''horrifying'''.
* SkilledButNaive: Isa wants to believe the best of everyone. She is not however averse to beating the crap out of people who don't mean her well.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: It sits somewhere in the middle-while terrible things have happened, terrors roam the land, life isn't hopeless nor pointless and people have and can change the world-and can and have failed to do so.
* SoProudOfYou: [[LouisCypher Nicky to]] [[AntiAntiChrist Isa]], [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame who is creeped out by such a thing]].
* StepfordSmiler: Isa says she left home-at a ridiculously young age. "Granny Lakkie" says more bluntly that she sent away Isa to keep the young woman safe, as it was becoming dangerous. [[ComingOfAgeStory Isa misses her home and grandmother deeply]], but she enjoys [[WalkingTheEarth travelling so much]], she's too busy to stop and be sad about it.

* StopWorshippingMe: [[UnreliableNarrator Claimed by Lucifer]], actually insisted on by Veritas.
* TimeAbyss: Claimed by a few entities and of others. Lilith, Lucifer, YHVH and a few others claim to have been around either since the cradle of mankind or to be from before the beginning. Veritas makes no such claims.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Isa and Cave, the Chaos and Neutral heroes respectively.
* TookALevelInBadass: Tensei, Guardians and Cambions when they are awakened or transformed as such. Can overlap with TookALevelInJerkass.
* WhoYouGonnaCall: Devil Busters, a name that dates back to the Megami Tensei games.
