    Divine Ranking System 
  • Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warper deities capable of manipulating the entire universe (or at least the world) at will. Within their own universe they are believed to be omnipotent, or at least impossible-to-completely-destroy embodiments or concepts.
  • Greater Gods: High-level Reality Warper deities that are extremely powerful (capable of destroying or changing anywhere from a large city to a planet at will) and very strong non-reality warpers capable of doing the same thing.
  • Intermediate Gods: Deities at this level are capable of strong but specialized powers such as hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc. without major drawbacks and low-level Reality Warper beings capable of affecting their immediate area at will.
  • Lesser Gods: Capable of highly specific or little power on their own, or suffer from Power at a Price. However, they may be able to ruthlessly exploit their power or combine it with just being badass enough to make up for it.
  • Demigods: Badass Normal citizens of the pantheon, making up for their lower status with strength, strategy, and/or planning.
  • Quasideities: Any otherwise normal human, human equivalent, or below without any special powers or training will fall here.
    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:God X, God/Goddess/Deity of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)
  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on the representation of power mentioned above.
  • Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
  • Theme Song: Official song (in other words, no fan music, regardless of quality) that usually is used in affiliation with the character. If the deity is a musician this will most likely be their Signature Song. If possible, give a link for reference, preferably on either a website like Soundcloud or YouTube.
  • Alignment: Good, evil, neutral, etc. Forget about The Great Character Alignment Debate here; the Pantheon is one of the few places where you can assign Dungeons & Dragons alignments to characters that don't have an alignment system. After all, the Pantheon is based on D&D and is made for fun.
  • For Pokémon deities only:
    • Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokémon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
    • Ability: Provides the Pokémon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
    • Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokémon. A Z-Move may also be listed.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
  • Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
  • Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
  • High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case something would happen. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
  • Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
  • Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
    • Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.
    • Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
    • Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either from their perspective or yours.
    • Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
    • Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
    • Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
    • Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
    • Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly oppose or are opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects", "On Good Terms With", and/or "Commonality Connection") in terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
    • Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
    • Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
      • OPTIONAL NOTE FOR CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS: Should the list for Character relationships (IE. Allies, Enemies, etc.) become too big, categorize a certain number of characters to a specific group putting them on a sublist (One example: Luigi is from the same world as his brother Mario, hence Luigi should be fall under the Super Mario Bros sublist.)
  • Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part, the order is irrelevant:
    • The Ascension Text: This is the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
    • The Bio: A brief synopsis of the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Deities/Characters is 10-15 (15-20 for group profiles) at minimum to 20-25 (30 for group profiles) at maximum.

  • Metaplots are used by game companies to generally flesh out the world of their games, and/or tell their own separate stories that may or may not be incorporated into your experience with the game, without them actually impacting the game itself, and spreading them out over time across expansions and supplements. These were fairly popular during the 90's, but despite their heavy use even to now, problems such as metagaming, the fixed detail of the metaplot, and a lot of Continuity Lockout through the vast material make them generally less favored in most Tabletop RPGs. However, they're just as, if not more popular, in a different sphere of tabletop play- the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, where sprawling stories such as the Duel Terminal, World Legacy, & Abyss storylines are analyzed, studied, and loved by both eastern and western fans alike. And given that card games are unlike actual tabletop games, it means that the problems the latter had with metaplots are for the most part basically skipped by the former- metagaming (and by extension the fixed details) doesn't matter if the metaplot's happening in the art and through the conveyed ideas of card text, but being an issue with readers having to go through a lot of material is difficult, having to keep up and check every so often if newly released cards contain anything to connect with pre-existing lore, though resources are more plentiful.
    • The aforementioned World Legacy storyline is one such example of these tales. In it, we witness the rise of a party of 4 heroes set out to restore the seven titular World Legacies in order to save the world. We watch as Avram, Ib, Imduk, and Ningirsu are employed by the mysterious fairy Lee to combat the incoming Mekk-Knight & Krawler threats, but said fairy would then betray them and steal all that power for herself in order to ascend to divinity, but would be stopped at the cost of Ib's life. As we move into another age, we see that Ningirsu & Avram have parted ways and charted their own courses- the former, now known as Longirsu, set out to revive his sister, while the latter, under the name Maximus, continued the quest they've started, to reactive the Legacies. They would clash at the former's newly-constructed Orcustrated Babel, and in the chaos, Lee would re-emerge and take over the body that Ningirsu constructed that would've been Ib's new vessel- Galatea. Now on the verge of godhood as Knightmare Incarnation Idlee, she would instigate a rampage that, had it not been for the efforts of Ningirsu, Avram, and a revived Ib, would've ended the world. Now, Ib, now rechristened as Lib in a world reset thanks to her best friend's own sacrifice, journeys the world once more with Imduk by her side, as Ningirsu, now Girsu, watches from a distance with a kinder fairy companion of his own.
  • One day, Lib and Imduk adventured through a ruin in the new world, and found some documents on a place known as the "Trope Pantheons". What little information they gleaned through, though, didn't give them much to work with, so they continued to rummage through what the ruin had to offer. They continued exploring and exploring, that is, until, they came across a perfectly intact door- an oddity in what was supposed to be an abandoned and decrepit facility. Drawing out her weapon, the World Key, she and Imduk braced themselves as they approached the door. Opening it, they found themselves out in an open field once more, but with strange characters by their sides- those being Girsu, who reincarnated with them in the new world, and Avram, who ascended into divinity in order to create said world. And all three of them were back to who they are before their journey even began- but with memories of everything that followed. As they would later find out, however, it was Lee's doing, as she had found a way to make herself a follower of Airy, and with the other evil fairy's help, she was able to redirect the party into the Pantheon for their own ends, a motive that once again put the heroes into action.
  • Many elements of the World Legacy storyline take from JRPGs, but notably, the story, events, and other plot points are reminiscent of those seen in Xenogears & Xenoblade Chronicles 1. When Shulk and his party, as well as Zanza and his subordinates, were made aware of this, they...didn't really know what to think of it at first. Their animosity was put to a ceasefire for once, as they had to mull over the fact that their story was mirrored in many ways, especially in its crazy amounts of reveals, by the World Legacy party. It was very strange to see them all in the same room discussing what to do with the World Legacy cast. In the end, though, they went back to hating each other after settling on which sides of the new cast they should take- with Zanza on Lee's, and Shulk's on the main 4.
    • Avram being an expy of Shulk is, though a bit awkward to say, a rather fitting term to say the least. Both were blessed with the power to wield a mighty weapon of sorts, both are blonde young men, and both eventually ascendedto godhood and left after resetting the universe. In contrast, Lee's descent from a brilliant scientist into a megalomaniac in pursuit of godhood is one story that Zanza echoes well. Though while he does chuckle at the fact that Lee held that power for a shorter time than he did, he commended her tenacity and cunning mind, as that allowed her to get a second shot at the ultimate prize.
  • (Party fact 2; ygo)
  • (Party fact 3; EBF crew)
  • (Party Fact 4; Symphogear)
  • The following apply to specific members of the cast:
    • Avram looks like your stereotypical JRPG progatonist- blonde hair, young male physique, sword in hand, and a punchable face (well, in the profile writer's opinion). So naturally, he would take interest in learning about those that inspired him, starting with Arusu. After a brief fight that showed each hero what the other was capable of normally, they became pretty quick friends, and both happened to harbor a hatred towards manipulative villains, as well.
    • (Avram 2)
    • (Ningirsu 1, Revertebration Ensemble)
    • (Ningirsu 2, Edgar from FFVI)
    • Ib's design naturally alludes to the idea that she had been her village's priestess, even evidenced by her card's name in romaji, which mentions her as a miko. This would gain the interest of quite a few shrine maidens within the Pantheon, mainly the duo of Reimu & Sanae from Gensokyo, alongside Mitsuha & Sailor Mars. When they learned of Ib's own journey, Mitsuha would find herself sympathetic to the newcoming priestess, while the others firmly wrote down Lee's name on their shitlists, encouraging some of their allies to do the same.
    • Ah, Demonic Possession, an absolute classic trope when it comes to endangering others regardless of point of story. From people like Ib to Kosuzu Motoori to King Dedede, nobody's really safe from being forcibly hijacked. The latter of which, upon hearing of those plights that Ib underwent, would open up and share his own experiences and feelings about it to her as he did to a few others that he confided in.
    • When the Party learned about the existence of the Hall of Dragons, they found that Imduk would be very happy to learn that there's more of him out there. During their visit, they would come across dragons both good and bad- Mushu & Falkor were their guides on their tour, and they definitely enjoyed Imduk's company, alongside a few others like Spyro & Tiki. They would also find Spike there alongside Twilight Sparkle, and the former would become very interested in learning about Imduk's end of the journeys he took with the party, an offer that the four & Twilight came to agree with.
  • The following apply to only Lee:
    • Lee is, as far as the profile writer is concerned, the first and only direct expy of Bravely Default's antagonist, Airy, and it shows very well. Both are fairy characters that tag along the main party, acting nice and all that, but deep down they have their own ambitions, and eventually seize their respective parties when they least expected, and nearly succeed in their goals, but fail at the very end. Airy herself would be very pleased about finally meeting someone who followed in her footsteps (quite literally, as Lee had previously been Airy's only follower for a while), and they would often trade ideas on how to further their own respective goals in the Pantheon.
      • There were some others who had things to say about this little ditty between Lee & Airy. For instance, Felix, the God of Fake Friendship, found their mottos and actions to be very impressive despite failing in the end, instantly signaling the House of Friendship and Camaraderie to outright ban both fairies from that house. However, on the other hand you have Fi, or to be more specific, Fi's herald Navi (who's busy preparing her Ascension process to be the Goddess of Exposition Fairies at the time of writing), who is vehemently against the existence of both Lee & Airy in the Pantheon just by sheer virtue of how they abuse their position, something that the villains just laughed at.
    • When you think of fairies, you don't generally think that they're evil, and when you look at the House of Fairies, that generally is the case. However, look around more and you'll find more of the sinister fae folk- and that's where you'll find Lee and her own company of malicious fairies, being in league with other unsavory folk like Maleficent & and the Fairy Godmother from Shrek's world. Despite being more of a hologram, she still exhibits enough fairy traits alongside the heinous acts she had committed to more than prove that she deserves to be called an "evil fairy".

    Hecatia Lapizlazuli 
Hecatia Lapizlazuli, The World-Holding Goddess (Goddess of Hell, Freaky T-Shirt Weirdo, Strange T)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ed48e688_19f5_4779_859a_174bf8ff608f.jpeg
Hecatia’s up top, and her herald Clownpiece is at the bottom
  • Overdeity
  • Symbol: Model globes for Earth, the Moon and the Otherworld
  • Theme Music: "Pandemonic Planet"
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Goddess of Hell (with weird fashion sense), having three bodies with different personalities & hair color (which is way stronger than most would think), being rather silly while being stronger than anyone in Gensokyo, on the Moon and in Hell (and chooses to fight by herself most of the time, Perky Goth, friendly despite having planned Lunarian genocide, much more like her historical counterpart than expected, Primary-Color Champion, Magical Barefooter, literally can and would hold the Earth, Moon, and a strange third planet representing Hell in her hands, a Jerkass God who isn't as truly bad as the rest but still helped Junko carry out her plans
  • Domains: Hell, Bodies, Gods, Clothing
  • Heralds: Clownpiece and other Hell Fairies
  • Allies: Chimata Tenkyuu
  • Neutrals: The actual Hecate
  • Enemies: The other Hades (Kid Icarus), nominally Houyi and Chang'e
  • Wary of: Bray Wyatt
  • Pities: Kratos
  • Unconfirmed Relationship: Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu
  • Special Relationship: Junko
  • An oddly dressed girl (though don't mock her fashion sense), Hecatia is actually the Goddess of Hells of Earth, the Moon and the Otherworlds (basically any place outside of aforementioned places). She has the power to have three bodies at once, allowing her to be in three locations at the same time, while her soul resides in Hell. She also carries around globes of Earth, the Moon and Otherworlds with her, and the body what is front of you can be determent on what globe is on her head, and what colour of hair and eyes she has (Blue for Earth, Yellow for the Moon and Red for Otherworlds).
  • Her "hatred" for Houyi comes from the fact that according to her, when he shot down the nine solar crows, they were actually nine different sun gods, one of them being Apollo. And without the light from the Sun, there might as well be no Hell since the shadows of Hell would weaken without any light. Well, that is the story she is telling. In truth, she might be lying to give her an excuse to help Junko in her revenge forwards Chang'e. Although, she has nothing against those who actually came from the Moon, even if she helped Junko attack the Lunar Capital. That being said, she does hate the Lunarians of her world, but only due of how close-minded they are about every other being in the world, living in isolation from everyone else and looking down at them; either that, or it was because of Junko's influence on her.
    • With regards to the divine spirit in question, however, things are a bit...estranged. Despite being allies with Junko especially during the events of the second Lunar War, Hecatia, for the most part, was simply along for the ride. When she learned of the problems surrounding Junko & Gigyas, however, she considered it a line that even she wouldn't want to cross, and that if it was really necessary, she would shut down her fellow Lunarian-hater and her plans. Otherwise, the two seemed to be neutral with each other, sometimes as caretakers for Hecatia's herald, Clownpiece, or as...well, I dunno, Friends with Benefits, or maybe something else entirely.
  • Gods from Greek mythology are really confused by her presence, because while she could be Hecate, she's also kind of her own self, in a sense. While this has sort of annoyed the actual Hecate in the Pantheon given this information, no real animosity came out of it. Another big confusion comes in the fact that Greek Mythology doesn't...exactly have a Hell. They have Underworld (ruled by Hades) and Tartarus (ruled by himself), but no actual Hell as most people would call it. She explains that the Hell where she came from was less of an afterlife than more of a place for particularly evil and chaotic people to hang around before order was established there.
    • That being said, she has bit of a headache when it comes to mortals worshiping her for things Hecate is, as she has no authority over them. The biggest one would be The Weird Sisters, due of their queen being named Hecate. Basically, she wants mortals to stop worshipping her for the wrong reasons. She also doesn't actually like the other Hades in the Pantheon, saying that messing with souls of the dead is not good, and is annoyed with it.
    • When asked about Kratos, however, Hecatia doesn't really have a whole lot about the man who waged war against the Greek Pantheon, as, quite frankly, "I wasn't really a big part of it, y'know?". However, she understood the man's plight very well- being mad at the gods for hurting (or in the case of Kratos, killing) a loved one is a natural feeling, and though they've had different experiences, the similarities are all there. What's also there is being around to care for those who've looked up to you, with Atreus for Kratos and Clownpiece for Hecatia, and both parental figures wanting the best for them. As such, she prefers not to be in the Godslayer's way when he decides to go on another spree
  • Her previous ascension caused a bit of a questioning about certain rankings of the other Touhou deities, as she is said to be stronger than anyone on Gensokyo and on the Moon, by Word of ZUN. This is especially with Eiki Shiki, as Hecatia seems to outrank her as while Eiki is just a judge in one particular Hell what includes Gensokyo, Hecatia is much higher on the ladder. While the reason for this is hard to say, it might be that she is actually three gods in one, and since her soul itself is located in Hell, destroying one of her bodies hardly means a thing.
    • As it turns out, though, she really isn't in the ministry what rules over Hells. She is more or less an outlaw, in her own words. In fact, she isn't even a true goddess. She has the title because she can beat anyone else in Hell, meaning that she cannot be easily bossed around and she can make anyone submit if she would oppose them.
    • When asked about whether her bodies are the same as the subject matter, Hecatia said that no, "The Hecate Sisters" are not " "maiden, mother, and crone", at least to her. Each of her bodies look similar with some differences, such as hair color, though all three of them have different personalities. Also note that she can freely swap between her bodies as she wants and can call one or both of them on one spot, allowing her to exert more power and force that way.
  • For all the funkiness that Hecatia essentially just radiates, there just as many Running Gags, one of them being to trying to put as many round objects on Hecatia's head as possible to see what happens to her. And the objects can basically be anything, ranging from yin-yang orbs, as tested by as tested by Misumaru Tamatsukuri, to the Prismriver Sisters taking the place of the planets, to even Kirby. And sometimes, her planets just simply roll out of her headpiece, insinuating a (usually) very comedic chase.
    • She ended up fighting Sanae Kochiya because she outright insulted her fashion sense, calling her a "freaky T-shirt weirdo" (her words). One thing is for sure though- in the midst of Gensokyo and its very classic and very Japanese outfits, Hecatia is a definite standout with her more contemporary style, but oddly enough, so is the market goddess Chimata Tenkyuu and her very unique clothing. In fact, Hecatia and also Sanae, prior to her ascension, got to witness Bruno Bucciarti give Chimata's outfit a full makeover, with her saying that it was a wonderful change, and Sanae having the opposite vibe. The two would commonly spend time outside of Chimata's markets discussing latest trends in the fashion industry, sometimes having them in the House of [[Pantheon/Fashion}} itself.
    • For all the power that Hecatia has (as an Overdeity, nonetheless), she is somehow very wary of Bray Wyatt, who is known to lead people into singing "He's Got the Whole World In His Hands". Even when he's no longer a Southern Gothic cult leader, she's also freaked out about his "Firefly Fun House" show and doesn't know where that is gonna lead. It is only made a little worse when she learned of what one of his alter-egos, The Fiend, did to John Cena during Wrestlemania 36, and has exaggerated since that Bray might be the next Johan Liebert, or at least in her terms, Yachie Kicchou. We literally have no idea what the fuck she's on about when it comes to Bray Wyatt.
      • Funnily enough, however, this very idea of breaking one's spirit is something that Hecatia had to tap into one time. During an interview regarding the Lunarians posed by Aya Shameimaru for a Humans-exclusive edition of the Bunbunmaru Newspaper, Hecatia first planted the idea that the Lunarians might be manipulating her into writing yellow journalism, a staple of the particular tengu's work. Using this accusation as a base, she rips right into the journalist without hesitation, criticizing her lack of accurate information and how often she twists and cuts up the truth for her articles. She would also back this up by warning Aya that the actual-actual truth could be forced out by the Lunarians, and that would have major consequences- all of this leading up to Aya actually cancelling the side publication.

Aya: So, how did it all go down?
Sagume: Well, to say the least, it was...complicated.
Aya: ...I see. Are there any specifics regarding your involvement?
Sagume: I just arrived, said that what I was witnessing was interesting, and then it became boring and eventually stopped.
Aya: Sounds typical. And you did say afterwards that the trial for your ascension would take...long, right?
Sagume: That is the case.
Aya: Huh. How interesting. Especially considering that it hasn’t been a day since you arrived, and you’re already inducted.

  • Portfolio: Sheep Motifs, Big Bad, All-Consuming Sheep, Spork Wielder, Going Solo, The Queenpin, The Closest Gensokyo Has To Satan, Respectful of Mighty Foes, Combat Pragmatist
  • Domains: Consumption, Oil, Animals, Final Bosses
  • Heralds: Yachie Kicchou & Saki Kurokoma (sorta, at least for Yachie)
  • Followers: Ganyu
  • Allies: Okina Matara, Kanako Yasaka, Flandre Scarlet, Brand X, the Hall of Demons (except Samael)
  • Rivals (that she also respects): Kirby, Pac-Man, anyone who she perceives with strength and power
  • Enemies: Keiki Haniyasushin (one-sided, from Keiki),
  • Opposes/Opposed by: The House of Nature, Chimata Tenkyuu
  • Respects/Respected by: All other ascended Kirby deities, regardless of alignment
  • Annoyed by: Dante Sparda, Doomguy, Illidan Stormrage
  • Complicated Relationship: (TBA)
  • As one of the leaders of the Animal Spirit tribes, Yuuma Toutetsu is quite the oddball. Firstly, compared to Yachie & Saki, who use brute force and massive numbers to overwhelm each other, Yuuma is a more strategic and sly leader, relegating her combat strength to protect herself and her business, if necessary. Her disposition varies as a result of her power to absorb anything, being influenced by what she does absorb.
  • Her ascension came in rather strangely, as with the other Animal Spirit leaders, they didn’t partake in Chimata’s counterattack on Brand X. Instead, they fought each other, as usual, because who the hell between the three would work with Keiki, who had participated in the uprising, let alone with each other? Instead, though, Okina decided to pull some strings after Kasen’s ascension, wanting an extra outlet for Yuuma to not only forge her own alliances, but enhance her pre-existing ones with those of Gensokyo’s.
    • Keiki was near-uncontrollably pissed when she learned of the ascension of the taotie, and assembled her army to form an attack on Yuuma. Thankfully, Keiki’s other allies and the Sages were able to calm her down, as Okina explained Yuuma’s position as an extra diplomat and emergency panic button. She still expressed quite the disdain for this decision, however, and now has upped watch on Yuuma at all times.
    • Flandre, on the other hand, was quite happy to see Yuuma as an ascended deity now, and wants to play with her some more. The feeling was mutual for the taotie, who still respects Flandre’s powers of destruction as being equal in might to her own absorption abilities. This eventually allowed Yuuma an alliance with the Scarlet Devil Mansion, considering just how strong everyone else is in it.
    • As for the mountain goddess Kanako, she was amicable with another of her business partners ascending. Their deal involves both of them respectively prevebting the Hell of Blood Pools from flowing out into Gensokyo. However, as she is in the House of Religion & Faith, she’ll have to be the one to seek out Yuuma usually as the taotie is very much restricted from entering that House.
  • Her main selling point, strength, and ability is that she can eat just about anything and not seem to give a single care about it, even finding things normally inconsumable rather tasty. She also gains whatever powers it may have, therefore making Toutetsu essentially Gensokyo’s version of Kirby. Noting this, The House of Food declared a premature ban on Yuuma, citing “safety reasons”.
    • She does in fact look up to not just Kirby, but Pac-Man as well, for being some of the most well-known eaters in the Pantheon. Eventually, she got to each of them separately and challenged them formally (a thing she rarely does), wanting to really see if they’re the real deal. Despite ending up losing both fights, it was clear that Yuuma was skillfully proving herself against her inspirations in very close matches. This earned her the respect of just about every ascended Kirby deity, even the more nasty ones, and by extension became Gensokyo’s primary diplomat for Dream Land.
    • (other things?)
    • (other things)
  • Despite being an excellent fighter, Yuuma’s other primary strength is that she’s a smooth talker, able to influence those she speaks to into joining her side. She generally uses this to deities stronger than her in order to avoid unnecessary conflict, which her heralds (aka her rival gang leaders) find disgraceful, but Yuuma seems to pay no mind to it. This is primarily why Okina claims that she would be a strong diplomatic force for Gensokyo- she can talk anyone down.
    • Easily fast-tracked a way to horrify most of Gensokyo with a few moves by talking her way up Brand X’s board of investors. She’ll gladly have the Toutetsu Alliance purchase their needs and wares from them should they be needed, and is fine with eating whatever they produce because of her ability. However, once she’s a strong shareholder for them, she began making deals that would whittle them down and check them while strengthening Gensokyo’s own hold on the company, threatening to pull out should they try to pull a stunt on the land of fantasy. Chimata isn’t too happy with Yuuma allying with a sworn enemy of hers, but given what the taotie’s doing, she decides that for the best, she wouldn’t mess with Yuuma.
  • Save for exactly the Touhou deities there (and only barely), the House of Religion and Faith seems to have a big dislike towards Yuuma. This is a result of her being essentially the closest the series has to a Western view of Satan, aka. The Devil. Living in hell, citing herself at the top of the danger pole, being a sheep with red horns, is not above using underhanded tactics, and encompasses Pride, Wrath, Greed, and especially Gluttony. And that’s not even considering her final form, reminiscent of the Big Red Devil.
    • The House of Demons, save for Samael exactly, was in cheers when they’ve learned of who Yuuma was meant to represent in the land of Gensokyo. As a result, they decided to hold a pretty rowdy party, complete with enough petroleum for the taotie to dig into. However, they were very mindful not to get too out-of-hand, as they wouldn’t want to alert Illidan & Doomguy, at the very least.

    Phosphophyllite 
Adopted From Crimson Shark

Phosphophyllite, God of Protagonist-Exclusive Factors

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1000_52.png
Phos, when the series begins
note 
  • Lesser God, but can fluctuate up to Intermediate-Greater God
  • Symbol: An small piece of themselves
  • Theme Song: Phosphophyllite's theme
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
  • Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
  • Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
  • High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case something would happen. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
  • Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
  • Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
    • Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.
    • Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
    • Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either from their perspective or yours.
    • Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
    • Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
    • Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
    • Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
    • Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly oppose or are opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects", "On Good Terms With", and/or "Commonality Connection") in terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
    • Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
    • Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
      • OPTIONAL NOTE FOR CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS: Should the list for Character relationships (IE. Allies, Enemies, etc.) become too big, categorize a certain number of characters to a specific group putting them on a sublist (One example: Luigi is from the same world as his brother Mario, hence Luigi should be fall under the Super Mario Bros sublist.)
  • Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part, the order is irrelevant:
    • The Ascension Text: This is the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
    • The Bio: A brief synopsis of the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
    • Relations with the Steven Universe deities and Hall of Metal and Minerals.
    • Being both literally and figuratively a composite character (and by extension, the Theseus' Ship Paradox).
    • A lot of Buddhist imagery, so refer to the Asura's Wrath deities and Byakuren Hijiri.
      • Speaking of Touhou, the Lustrous also have enemies named the Lunarians. I wonder how Phos will react to the Lunarians from the Touhou series, such as Reisen? Would Junko also hate the Lunarians that the Lustrous fight?
      • We can go one step further lmao. What about a heart-throbbing adventure? There's even a direct reference!
    • Break the Cutie is absolutely a thing. Refer to the Puella Magi Madoka Magica deities, especially Madoka.
    • One interesting way to tackle Phos in the Pantheon is to have their temple be in the place of Eren Yeager's. They also share quite a lot of similarities, especially with their character arcs and heavy changes to them.

    Medicine Melancholy 
Medicine Melancholy, Goddess of Poison (Little Sweet Poison)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e5b2a835_839f_4305_b20c_fdce06da44e7.png
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: Her fairy-like companion carrying a lily-of-the-valley flower
  • Theme Music: Poison Body ~ Forsaken Doll
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Manipulation of Poison, Laced Head-to-Toe With Poison, Fierce Hatred Forwards Humanity, Living Creepy Doll, Totally Opposite of "Medicine", Deadly Fog, * Inconsistent Designs Between Official Arts.
  • Domains: Poison, Dolls, Life
  • Followers: Megumi Takani, Doctor Poison, Claudius
  • Allies: Banette, Purple Eyes, Poison Ivy, Eirin Yagokoro,
  • Enemies: Most human deities, and most of the Pantheon's puppeteers (Alice Margatroid, Carl Clover, Haruka, Uncle Howee), Evangeline A.K. McDowell, Sora Shiun'in, Asuka Langley Soryu, Suigintou], [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearanceOther Suiseiseki and Souseiseki, Lieselotte Achenbach, most of House of Toxicity
  • Confused by: Pinocchio
  • Neutral towards: Lotso, SCP-1048, Naughty Bear, Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu, Yuuka Kazami
  • Medicine Melancholy is what you may call a doll youkai; not exactly a tsukumogami (well, she may actually be one if Kosuzu's herald Akyuu is one to go by), but something close enough to such a thing. At one point in her life, she was abandoned due of unknown reasons in the Nameless Hill, a place filled with the very poisonous lilies-of-the-valley. After many years since, the doll gained life, with poison and a stinging hatred towards humanity running through her body.
  • It isn't exactly clear on how Medicine was ascended at first, but signs lead to the involvement of Eirin Yagokoro, one of the vengeful doll's few friends, as the driving force behind it. The main reason to this being the case is that there have been recorded interactions of the two by way of Reisen Udongein Inaba, Eirin's main servant, after the incident regarding an overwhelming spring bloom. From there, it was assumed that Eirin would ascend Medicine in secret, if not to bring up the potential of the poison she uses to the rest of the House of Health and Diseases, who were intrigued in the possibility of thinning it down into something that can be used more practically & medically.
  • Medicine's poison is a poison unlike any other in the world; simply touching her body causes inflammation, and if she releases it as a fog, it will slowly numb the person's body, while also killing them slowly. It also works on youkai and ghosts, as the poison she emits seems to affect person's soul, thus allowing that to happen, and finding a cure for it is hard. She also knows a lot of other types of poisons and most of their lethal applications, even if the poison is used as a term. And because she is practically a child, she doesn't have much self-control regarding her poison, something that she very much is aware about as she is often seen putting every bit of her power into even the most stray of unwanted visitors to her garden, outside of exactly the flower youkai Yuuka Kazami.
  • Oddly enough, she doesn't like most of the gods in House of Toxicity, even if many of the other gods in it are either interested or disgusted by her. That is because her main specialty is flower poison, and about half of the House is dangerous to her flowers. As for others, she doesn't care about Reptile, Lesare is annoyed by the fact that she is stomping on his domain and that she is completely immune to poison due of her being a doll, and as for Coco, Medicine is trying to find a way to brew a poison that can pass his poison immunity. Speaking of her House, her domain in it is considered one of few "nice" areas of the place, being a large flower garden of lilies-of-the-valley. Mind you, the air around it is highly poisonous, but it is nothing compared to the rest of the house.
  • She has tried to, and is still trying to this day, create a large doll uprising, in order to free them from their masters, as she sees those who own dolls as cruel and torturous. As of recently, the list of dolls who actually "support" it had gone down to just Bannette, however, as a result of a fierce battle that Medicine instigated with the now mostly-dissolved Grand Puppeteer Court, her biggest opposition to her goal. Despite an Enemy Mine situation with them regarding The Other Mother & Relius Clover (on accounts of them trying to turn humans into dolls), it turned out that Suigintou, one of her other allies, was actually in service of the Court's leader and one of the people Medicine hated the most, Alice Margatroid. As a result, despite the Court being taken dissolved as a result of the ambush at the newly-instated Subhouse of Toys And Dolls, Medicine's dreams were not fully realized, and was subseqeuently banned from the Subhouse afterwards.
  • Medicine's not shy on sharing her opinions on other toys in the Pantheon, and in particular, teddy bears. For instance, she doesn't like Sora Shiun'in, oddly enough, as despite him wielding some truly demonic plushes and toys in the form of the Frightfurs, he's just a human, which makes sense given her overall philosophy against them. However the same cannot be said for the actual sentient teddy bears of the Pantheon, those being SCP-1048, Naughty Bear, and Lotso, all three of whom she's neutral towards. She's marveled by the talent and grotesque creativity of the SCP, and relates all-too-well to the feelings of abandonment and vengeance by the latter two bears, who show similar amounts of sympathy in-kind.
  • Due of her being abandoned by a human at the Nameless Hill, Medicine held a deep hatred forwards humanity, and is willing to help those who also have a similar hatred forwards them, even if they happen to be other humans. One such notable god who shares a similar sentiment happens to be Ulquiorra Cifer, who also happens to see humanity through a negative lens, but unfortunately for the doll, he isn't as resentful as he is more resigned to humans' idealism. However, she usually tries to suppress these emotions as much as she could allow herself to- not because she's grown on her own, but rather through a stern talking to by Eiki Shiki a while back, with the judge positioning her as someone who is just as close-minded as humans can be sometimes. They would later have a second talk after the fall of the Puppeteer Court, with the same topic in mind; Medicine was just glad to be done with it after a long day of yapping.
  • No one is really sure if the big doll actually has sentience, or the smaller, fairy-like doll (called "Su-san" by some) is the real mastermind behind her actions. Medicine has declined to speak on the matter, even (or rather especially) if the one asking happens to be Aya Shameimaru. The hypothetical idea of Medicine herself being puppeteered by her own little doll companion has kind of made her a bit more Ax-Crazy than she already is at times.
    The Gensokyo Reformation Project 
A.k.a., an attempt in 2023/2024 to rewrite and update the entirety of Touhou's deity profiles. Wish me (and others) luck.

Ever since Chimata's ascension, crazy shit's been up in the Pantheon for Touhou. Here's a brief timeline with all the major events.
  • February:
    • Sumireko re-ascends. (I know this happened IRL after Chimata, but trust me it makes sense.)
    • Chimata ascends.
    • Brand X gets involved. Then Gensokyo gets involved. Cue beatdown.
    • Keiki and Kosuzu ascend.
    • Keiki forms alliance with the Order Of Humanity, I guess.
    • Kosuzu unwillingly attracts some attention. Sages start scheming.
    • Yuuki Terumi kills Seija & wrecks Kosuzu's temple. Cue uproar.
  • March:
    • Kasen ascends. Aya (re-)ascends afterward.
    • Satori re-ascends; Keiki blows the whistle on Killbus' intentions.
  • April:
    • Eirin re-ascends.
    • Remilia helps Shinobu Oshino ascend.
  • June:
    • Tenshi re-ascends, and the Yorigami Sisters ascend with.
