Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:

    Rules 
Rules. The following are not suggestions or tips, but things that have to be followed:
  • When writing a profile, take note of the following:
    • Gods cannot be followers or high priests for obvious reasons. The 'gods' have ascended meaning there is no need for said character to be a follower of another if they have ascended.
    • No hype profiles, please. 'Hype Profiles' are profiles that have been made out of ongoing events and have not been around for a long time. This creates 'hype' due to popularity and certain elements either through certain scenes, memes, dramatic acting or considered overly awesome. They are not bad tropes but building a portfolio solely for that is a bad idea, as they do not say a thing about representing the trope best (unless it's those trope concepts that they are trying to embody for a long time)
      • You can see one if the profile is only showing off how awesome they are or suddenly pushing how 'significant' they are thanks to the just very recent events rather than respecting the longstanding good representations of the trope. And usually having... minimum portfolio or flavor texts and being a bit too generalized or self-contained to events from within their home series instead of interacting with other Pantheon members.
  • When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
    • When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
    • You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
      • For new and reworked deities, 3 [tup] means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
      • For new and reworked deities, 4 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 5 [tup] is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
      • Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
    • For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
      • For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 4 [tup] is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
    • Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice in a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be a single flavour text.
    • The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like look like Character Shilling.
    • Tropers new to the Pantheon are barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles.
    • Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
    • Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
    • Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
      • On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others because no one is responding to their idea.
  • When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
    • Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to add in a main Characters page that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, inform the forum and use the cutlist. This also goes to the Trivia page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Good and Evil Colors.
    • Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment ALSO applies here. Do not bring things that would incite fights, even if it is what is currently the hot topic and might be 'urgent'. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight at each other, so don't suggest things that go to that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
    • To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
    • Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.

    Instructions and Tips 
Here are some tips one should keep in mind when editing:

  • Preparing to write:
    • First thing to do before present a profile is to go to the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Submissions that are added without discussion are likely to be deleted and those who violate those rules by adding Pantheon content without discussion will get reported to the mods.
    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing anything hasty. Use good reasoning to see if your idea can easily replace the character present without drawing out your statement or giving too ambiguous claims most do not understand.
    • Please be sure to consult others in the discussion about what you want to work before making the profile. This is done to see if your proposal is the best representative and so, in case your profile is turned down, you do not waste time writing something that others might not find suitable.
      • In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread. More often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else. Check the Related tab on the top of a page to see if a trope or character has been reserved by a user.
    • If, for whatever reason, you are writing about a God who just happens to be a person in real life, just try to be very careful about what you decide to say. Do not try to make the editing seem too meta (self-referential) and use the aformentioned creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters.
  • When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
    • All deities should be sorted by their divine ranking. Put Overdeities on the top of the page and Quasideities on the bottom. Also be sure to add them in alphabetical order by their first/given name (can be reversed if it is Eastern ordered). For a group, if there is no official name for them all list down all their names by order of relevance or (if too long to list) title them as Insert Name Here Main Characters or some other identifiable title along the same lines.
    • The maximum number of tropes that a god can have is two, but do not try to abuse that fact. If you need to use a second trope to specify a certain thing about their position, that can be excused either because said character represents their trope choice very well alongside the first trope. It is still generally encouraged to only have one trope.
    • A trope can only belong to one profile at a time. The only time two profiles can share a trope is if there are explicit variations listed in the trope page proper (e.g. Muscle Angst is held by both Biscuit Krueger and Chihiro Fujisaki as the former represents "Too Much Muscle" and the latter represents "Not Enough Muscle")
    • If the character you are about to add to a House already exists in another, make sure to mention that this person has spots in other House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity, with the sole exceptions being those at the Main House to highlight those characters’ importance to the Pantheon’s lore.
    • For a character's theme song, try to avoid calling it "Theme of God X" or "Theme of (Show where God X originates from)". If possible, try to find out if the song has an actual name through research. Most importantly, it has to be part their series’ official soundtracks from media. Do not list songs that are made by fans or outside sources. If they were not specifically used as music for that specific character, then they do not count. Furthermore, it has to be a general theme specifically made for that characters’ appearances, not some generic music that plays for many other instances not related to the character in question.
    • For images, when adding an image for your chosen character, it is highly recommended to use a stylized image that embodies the character or renders that also highlights a character’s behavior (such as cool poses). Most images should be from the main adaptations of the character, unless the images from the other media are of a higher quality than the adaptation. Unless it is needed, do not use fanart for images. If you are, please attribute to the original artist. Due to the website’s dark mode, removing white backgrounds from an image is paramount. This website is suggested to do the background removal. If an image you have takes up too much bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, put the compressed image to other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikias to look for better images, as even wikias for the series might not contain good official images.
    • Creativity is your friend. While it is not recommended to get too ditzy at your ideas, it is best that when writing a profile for a certain character, do you think of capable scenarios between X and Y. Tip: do not use shallow examples (X wields a sword and Y wields one too) and try to think of relationships that makes sense (i.e those characters that are shout-outs for another).
  • Pantheon Content:
    • Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill per say. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
      • As far as deities from actual mythologies, there is generally expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entire from the actual myth. Therefore, a mythological deity should be more of a Composite Character whose main identity is from the actual myth.
    • Occasionally there will be Gods that carry a title without a trope. This is not forbidden, but it is well advised not to abuse them. The only house that a tropeless profile are wholly allowed is the House of Food. Mainly due to most food items lacking tropes, and adding tropes about said foodstuffs is slightly unnecessary. However, the character being ascended for their choice of a food, or food-related thing must be a decently good representative of said item. (i.e their Trademark Favorite Food, or something that they are closely associated with In-Universe, or both).
    • For Dominions and Treasures profiles, always consider what made those places/objects popular in the first place. Were they plot-important, identifiable imagery or have a unique aspect of it? Do not just bring regular objects under the basis of following a certain canon.
  • For Profile Standards:
    • Flavor text is used to describe certain things about a character, place or object. To avoid short ones, it is recommended to write flavor text with 4-7 sentences that can fill around 2 lines each. Be warned that adding too many sentences does not equal good flavor text as it is not an essay of sorts (unless words are substantial and do add to the overall line).
    • Character Profiles of a certain person should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 7 (at the minimum) tropes describing their character.
      • Flavor text count for a deity profile should have by minimum, 10 (depending if the character in question has enough relationships/characterization) to 15 with a maximum of 20-25 for an individual profile.
      • On the other hand, group profiles (profiles of a group that has 4 or more members) have their maximum flavor text count to 15 minimum, giving individual lines for the other members of the group (unless the members are not as characterized) up to 30 at max.
    • Dominion profiles of a certain place should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 5 (at the minimum) tropes describing the context of the place.
      • Flavor text count should range at least 10 to 15.
    • Treasure profiles (inanimate objects without a trope) should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 6 (at the minimum) tropes that describes the object itself.
      • Flavor text count should be at least 7 flavor text up to 12 to constitute a treasure profile.

    Divine Ranking System 
  • Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warpers 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 Warpers and 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 Warpers 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: Basically the Badass Normals of the pantheon, making up for their lack of abilities 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/dess 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 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 alignment to characters that don't have 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 on their pespective 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 opposes or is opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects") 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.
  • 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 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 on 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.

Template for Dominions profiles:

Place X, Place of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
  • Domains: Things that the place has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the dominion is linked to, note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said dominion, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Dominion is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • 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 Dominions is 10 at minimum to 15 at maximum.

Template for Treasure profiles:

The name of the item in here (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
  • Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
  • Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
  • Domains: Things that the item has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the item is linked to (especially the original owner of the item), note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said object, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Treasure is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • 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 Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

In all honesty, control druid (aka ramp or taunt druid) is being projected to be a top tier deck come Standard format, especially given the new cards that have been leaked. HS Trump even said as much in an interview after a february tournament.

Oolong has 2[tup]s. Ascension in 6 days. Repost in 2 and 5 days.

Also, the Pantheon/Pokémon page is back. As much as I could anyway with the Wayack Machine.

Oh right, the pokemon page got deleted when the mods got upset with the Pantheon page for a reason i can't remember and honestly don't care.

The fact that the single biggest pantheon page got deleted is a real pain in the arse. I will add the pokemon that ascended after the page got cut later

Tiny the Stone Giant, the God of Ironic Names

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tiny_full_trading_card.jpg
  • Lesser God (initially, reaches Intermediate God later on)
  • Symbol: A giant tree upon obtaining an Aghanim's Scepter
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Rock Monster, Magikarp Power, Fastball Special + Grievous Harm with a Body, Craggy Exterior, Avalanche, Hulk Speak (with the occasional Sophisticated as Hell), seeing his origin, beard of moss/ferns, tree as bludgeon with Aghanim's Scepter
  • Domains: Golems, Size, Earth
  • Follower: Pebble
  • Allies: Geb, The Colossi, Regirock, Malfurion Stormrage, Tyrande Whisperwind, Templar Assassin, The Hulk
  • Rivals: The Champions of Runeterra
  • Enemies: Hedora, Hexxus
  • Tiny was selected for this title for one reason: no matter what size he's currently in, large or small, he goes by "Tiny, the Stone Giant".
  • Tiny has no idea about his origins, which was the reason why he participated in the war of the Ancients.
  • Sometimes when he is summoned into the Field of the Ancients, he will lose most of his rock body and look like this abomination.
  • Upon finding other stone giants in the Pantheon, he hoped that they may be efficient in providing answer of his origins. Especially Geb, who is the Egyptian God of the Earth, who may see all earth and stone being form.
  • Though he likes to hurt his enemies with his rock fists, he can cause avalanches by calling upon the inanimate stones to move upon hearing the call of Tiny.
  • Both Malfurion and Tyrande thought that Tiny was one of their Mountain Giant allies, in terms of appearance and the fact that he can attack with a giant tree like a club.
  • Though the two has nothing in common, he manage to befriend the Templar Assassin by presenting her a flower for her to wear. However, in one battle in the Field of the Ancients, he sacrifices himself to save her from the enemy team, causing her to slaughter them all. When she wants to return the flower to the hand of a fallen friend, his head rose up.
  • His favorite hobby is tossing something up into the air and hurling them to someone. One of his favorite thing to grab are Techies so that they can suicide bomb on unsuspecting heroes for early First Blood. He also like to hurl the unascended Centaur Warrunner to take advantage of his stomp and stunning power.
    Tiny: "Look out for falling rocks!"
    • He's also been able to throw away anyone that could have been a potential threat. A Magnus with Reverse Polarity ready, just throw him away. Tidehunter blinking into the battlefield to unleash Ravage, throw him away from his viscidity.

  • Opposes: Xykon, Tarquin
  • Annoys: Ezio
  • Respected by: Odin
  • Aberrant Admirers: Morrigan and Lilith Aensland
  • Once the God of Genre Savvy Morons... until he found out that it's not even a real title. Thus, he had never ascended in the first place. One quick visit in the Main House corrected that mistake; he now represents those bards who travel the worlds with their instruments, using their music to influence their champions to fight more competently.
  • The Order of the Stick's tolerance of Elan varies depending on the member. To Haley, he was a crush that eventually developed into a blossoming romance. To Roy and V, he serves as the spanner in all of his plans, those the two always manage to forgive him. Belkar just sees him as a kid that's too nice for even him to kill
  • As stated, he is bound to help Roy vanquish the Evil Overload known as Xykon. The lich didn't really care if Elan's a god or now: only in how entertaining his eventual fight will be. Redcloak is savvy enough not to take him lightly, even if he's the weakest member of the group.
    • To say his relationship with his dad was a rollercoaster ride would be a massive understatement. There was a time when he even thought Tarquin wasn't so bad. Until he found out he burned hundreds of prisoners to spell out his name. Nowadays, he concocted a plan to overthrow his father's empire. Despite this, there is little doubt he hopes that his dad will have a change of heart.
  • His fellow bards were more than obliged to congratulating him on officially becoming a god. Gabrielle offered up some poems for him to read while Shakespeare promised to make a play on his adventures. His closest bond, however, is with Edward, God of Quirky Bards. Some thought Elan would have taken the title, but he lucked out on the chance. Still, Elan admits Edward was probably the better choice, especially with how more useful he has become.
  • He hoped that the Pantheon would be the perfect opportunity to ascend Banjo the Clown (actually a sock puppet). It didn't take as he was laughed out of the Court of the Gods. With that said, rumors persist that Odin is secretly trying to make that happen, given his love of puppets. For now, Elan will have to settle with making him his herald.
  • One day, Elan found a knife driven into the wall of his temple. It turned out to be from the God of Assassins. Ezio made a formal warning, telling Elan to stop his followers from asking money from him all the time. It has ruined many assassination attempts.
  • As the most Genre Savvy person in his world (and that's saying something), he is in good terms with Abed Nadir, seeking advice in how to handle situations. The two agree with each other in the most part... until Elan insists on feigning stupidity on certain situations. In those cases he turns to Dr. Evil, who he was glad with his decision to give up evil.
  • Despite his lack of intelligence, he is quite attractive. Those who gave a peek will have to dealt with the Green-Eyed Monster that is Haley. Elan has since laid off his seduction skills. Still, that hasn't stopped succubi Morrigan and Lilith to go after him, especially after he managed to seduce Sabine, one of their followers.
  • He is certainly not the smartest person the ground (he even admits to dumping Intelligence in his stats), but he has made an effort to wisen up. To that he thanks Slowking, especially when the Pokemon pointed out he had never ascended in the first place.

Heinz Doofenshmirtz, God of Tragic (Yet Funny) Backstories (Doof, Dr. D)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DoofenshmirtzRaygun_1053.jpg
  • Theme Song: "Doofenshmirtz Evil In~coper~at~ed! and its variation".
  • Rank: Lesser God
  • Symbol: An oddly shaped building, that almost looks like a stylized wrench.
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, Though he tries for Chaotic Evil. Doofenshmirtz acts according to his own personal code.
  • Portfolio: Action Dad, Affably Evil, Big Bad Wannabe, Bond Villain Stupidity, Born Unlucky, Card-Carrying Villain, Chaotic Stupid, Ditzy Genius, Even Evil Has Standards, For the Evulz, Freudian Excuse, Genre Savvy, Hilariously Abusive Childhood, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Kavorka Man, Large Ham, Motor Mouth, Multiple-Choice Past, Punch-Clock Villain, Raised By Ocelots, Sibling Rivalry, The Unfavorite.
  • Domains: Tragic Backstories, Paradoxical Backstories, Evil Science (as opposed to Mad Science), Self-Destruct Buttons, Lab Coats.
  • Followers: Sergent Calhoun, Hayate, Kafuka Fuura, Jimmy Chance, Harper
  • Allies: Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher (occasional), Dr. Evil
  • Rivals: Cave Johnson
  • Enemies: Lex Luthor, Superman, Balthier (one-sided), The Ghostbusters (on principle), Roger Doofenshmirz (his brother, non-ascended).
  • Opposes: Ghetsis Harmonia
  • Enemy Mine: Crash Bandicoot, and by extension Perry the Platypus.
  • Respects: The Brain
  • Pities Meg Griffin
  • Herald: Norm the Robot Man.
  • Was actually seeking to ascend into either the House of Technology as the God of Inators or the House of Villains as God of Evil But Not Mad Scientists. Doof was as surprised as anyone when he ended in the position of God of Tragic Backstories. Despite the fact that he doesn't have the most tragic of backstories, many of the gods that do respect him, because he focuses on how to help gain strength from the tragedy.
    • His chances of gaining the former were dashed with Cave Johnson's disapproval, fearing that Doofenshmirtz would take too many followers away from him. The later responded by self- naming himself 'Unofficial God of Mad Scientists'. Not that it helped gain any more followers, even when he uses many of Johnson's methods himself.
  • Of course, this makes him sympathize with those who suffered from more serious abuse such as Meg Griffin, as well as despising Abusive Parents, with Ghetsis on the top of his hate list.
  • Has been temporarily banned from the House of Technology after he 'sabotaged' half of their inventions by adding self-destruct buttons.
  • Doofenshmirtz ran into Balthier shortly after Ascending, and Balthier had his typical reaction upon meeting a Mad Scientist, despite Doofenshmirtz insistence that he was an Evil Scientist, not a Mad Scientist. Afterwards, Doofenshmirtz expressed a kinship with Balthier, but when questioned further, he merely said that it was Balthier's backstory to tell.
  • Every single time Doofenshmirtz interacts with the House of Crime, he ends up helping foil whatever plan is being worked on while he is there. Most of those foilings were accidental (except when Lex Luthor is involved).
  • Once, Doofenshmirtz tried to host an 'intervention' and lock Lex Luthor and Superman in a box together to 'discuss being nemesises'. As this was after their respective ascensions, but before Doofenshmirtz's, it worked about as well as one might expect.
  • Doofenshmirtz has tremendous respect for the Brain, given how he continues to plot for world domination despite setbacks, and he considers him to be something of an inspiration. However, he does think that the Brain is a bit too ambitious with starting out taking over the world, and he has suggested several times that The Brain try breaking down his goal into steps, starting with a state-sized area. The Brain has thus far ignored his suggestions.
  • Every deities in the Pantheon are trying frantically to keep him and Phineas and Ferb separated from each other in order to prevent Doof from remember the time they crossed another dimension and his counterpart successfully conquered the tri-states area.
    • Has recently had a change of heart in his last adventure with the boys. When he ended up saving the world, he decided to use his technology for good, even joining O.W.C.A.
    • His relationship with Crash's high priest, his former arch-nemesis Perry the Platypus changed once more. Once the bane of all of his plans to take over the Tri-State area, the two now managed to patch things up. By extension, he volunteered to patch up all the holes and destruction his gizmos caused in Crash's temple.
  • His change of heart also gained a new friendship. While Dr. Evil was already one of his greatest inspirations, his appreciation for the man grew even more when he formally left the GUAE. The two scientists reminiscent on their past lives and what they plan to do with their lives in the future. Not to mention the fact that Dr. Evil may be the only other person in the Pantheon with a backstory ''as hilariously twisted as Doofenshmirtz's

Thanks for the [tup] for the Sky Girls though.

King's Second Draft

King, Divine Patron of 'Handsome' Ladies (The Gorgeous Kickboxing Lady, The Ultra-Sophisticated Kickboxer, Kyokugen Cuddle Bunny - by Eiji Kisaragi)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_cv1.jpg
  • Potential Houses: Gender Appearances
  • Theme Songs:
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbols: Her Various Tuxedos
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Started Out As A Bouncer, Has Boyish Short Hair, Destroy Her Tuxedo, Find Out That She Is A Woman, Owner Of The Bar Illusion, Enjoys Wine And Mixing Cocktails, Skilled In Muay Thai, Deadpan Snarker, Dude, Where's My Respect?, Lady of War, Foreign Fanservice/Sexy Frenchwoman, Statuesque Stunner, Tomboy with a Girly Streak, Looks After Her Little Brother
  • Domains: Former Bouncers, Muay Thai, Bartenders, Crossdressing
  • Heralds: Her Waitresses, Sally and Elizabeth
  • Not To Be Confused With: King II
  • Love Interest: Ryo Sakazaki
  • Allies:
    • Ascended King of Fighters: Yuri Sakazaki, Mai Shiranui (her teammates), Robert Garcia, Takuma Sakazaki, Terry Bogard
    • Other Allies: Remy, Abel, Helena Douglas, (fellow French-born deities), Haruka Tenoh, Artoria Pendragon, Jann Lee
  • Rivals: Sagat
  • Enemies: Geese Howard, Ash Crimson
  • Annoyed By: Poison Kiss
  • The appearance of the Bar Illusion in the Pantheon was a big clue for the ascended participants of the King of Fighters Tournaments as to who has joined the Pantheon's ranks. Say hello to King, the French-born Muay Thai warrior, and not only is the Bar Illusion is the newest of the Pantheon's swank nightclubs, but also serves as her temple.
  • To those who know King (especially her teammates), they describe her as 'kind, trustworthy but violent.' This stems from not only the views of men regarding women who practice Muay Thai, but also the fact that King herself suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Jack Turner, which led to her working for Mr. Big. Simply put, she is loyal to her friends, but should you piss her off...start praying.
  • Sagat's curiosity was roused upon hearing of the French kickboxer's ascension. Curious, he visited the Illusion. Not much was said, but King mentioned that the Emperor of Muay Thai left her with words of encouragement. To gain the approval of such a man is an incredible feat in itself, and has left King humbled by his praise

The only problem with the new King picture is that it is too long. Otherwise it isn't bad. Especially when the previous picture clearly showed boobs. Also, add Oscar Francois de Jarjayes as a High Priestess.

Heh, now I remember Miyabi's Shinobi Heart in EV where she finally accepted her Bifauxnen appearance and tries to make people call her hunk. It fails. She only learns what it really means to be hunk when Renka lectures her (to her, the thing what really made her a hunk is how she didn't use to care what other people thought about her, and her aloof Ice Queen personality is what really makes Miyabi so manly).

@Whirl: I am not against other suggestions, but I have reserved that one trope so long, I feel like I have rights to the actual trope what applies to him.

[down] I reserves Embarrassing Last Name because that was the one listed on his character page. And I feel for it due of Eastern/Western name order confusion.

Moon Man, God of Memetic Psychopaths (Mac Tonight)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/156956_162440267134164_100001045742803_316099_4485335_n.jpg
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His own head
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil
  • Portfolio: Memetic Psychopath Version of Mac Tonight, Has a Moon For A Head, Politically Incorrect Villain Protagonist, Gangsta Rap, Mainly Does Covers, For the Evulz, Laughably Evil
  • Domains: Moon, Racism, Sexism, KKK
  • Followers: Mr. Popo note , "Weegee"
  • Allies: Calvin Candie, Red Skull
  • Enemies: BLACK PEOPLE, Jews, Muslims, basically every single minority, feminists, pedophiles, religious assholes
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Stephen, Uncle Ruckus
  • Some people say that Moon Man ascended when he was selected as The First Presidential Meme of UNITINU. It was more of a joke, but the weird boost in attention let the Moon Man spawn in the Pantheon.
  • Most gods agree that Moon Man is NOT Mac Tonight. Moon Man has actually gone such a strong Memetic Mutation that he has become more of a status symbol of his own sign that he doesn't need to be associated with Mac Tonight.
  • When he is in his temple, he seem to like playing a piano in top of a giant hamburger, rapping all night long.
  • If it wasn't clear, he hates black people with passion. He has plans to kill every black god in the Pantheon as part of ethic cleansing, before he points his guns at other minorities.
  • He likes Calvin really much, as while Moon Man thinks all black people are better dead, Calvin at least keeps them in check. That being said, he doesn't like Stephen (and in similar note, Uncle Ruckus), at all, but due of their attitude, they are low on his hit list.
  • Besides his hatred forwards minorities and feminists, he hates pedophiles and religious killing (and Pedophile Priests). It is mainly due of double standards: How it is wrong that people judge him for his raps, but those people get a way scot-free?
    • Notably he has intense hatred forwards Garterbelt, who is a black Pedophile Priest. Moon Man is considering scorching the whole damn House of Faith. That should get rid of most of the problems.
    • Note that he doesn't really like to be called a god since then he would sound like a hypocrite. He says that you should kill black people not because he is a god, but because it is the right thing to do.
  • Is annoyed that his buddies the KKK aren't present in the Pantheon (fortunately). So he instead has started trying to get along with the Nazi-related deities.
  • When it comes to different species, he hasn't decided on what to do with that. He rather focus on his current mission for now and think about it later.

Andromeda, Goddess of Bodies Made Out of Stars

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/store_hero_andromeda.png
  • Intermediate Goddess
  • Symbol: The starry sky
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Body Made Out of Stars, Blue Flaming Hair, Amnesiac Hero, Space Master, Gravity Master, Echoing Monotone
  • Domains: Personal Appearance, Stars, Space, Memories
  • Followers: Cosmic Guide, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, Algalon the Observer, Lord Vortech, The Starborn
  • Allies: The Eternity, Geo Stelar and Omega-Xiz, Palkia, Rosalina, Kat
  • Rivals: Champions of Runeterra, The Defenders of the Ancients
  • Andromeda is a star-born celestial entity who for some reason ended up in Newerth. With no memories of her origins or her kind, she decided to fight against the Hellbourne to protect Newerth purely out of instinct.
  • As the first warrior from Newerth to ascend, she had a bit of a cold welcome from the Defenders of the Ancients, and to slight degree from the Champions of Runeterra. Mainly as no one really thought that anyone from that realm would manage to ascend. Still, they are not overly bitter about it, and don't necessarily mind more of them to come if it comes to it.
    • The Defenders of the Ancients have noted that her fighting style is disturbingly similar to that of Shendelzare, but she herself is quite different.
  • No one is really sure what she is, in reality. As in, what kind of species she belongs to, as the only one around. Well, if you don't count this one red, muscular being with a Celestial Body what is sometimes seen on Newerth. It might be Andromeda trying a different form. She seems to be trying to get Rosalina's help to possibly travel in space in search of her origins.
    • Speaking of the muscular being, some gods have said that it sort of looks like Maijin Buu in a sense.
    • Some Champions of Runeterra speculate that she might be related to Aurelion Sol, but no one is absolutely sure on that.
  • At first, Geo Stelar and Omega-Xiz were scared of her arrival, due of her sharing a name with a Planet Eater creature they once took down. Fortunately, they were able to sort out the confusion.
    • She should also not be confused with Andromeda Shun. Greek deities also briefly mistook her to the princess who was almost fed to a sea monster for said to been more beautiful than Nereids until Perseus saved her. Perseus himself was disappointed how her wife wasn't in the Pantheon.
  • She gets along with Kat, as both of them are heroes who have lost their identities, but are more concern helping others than simply seeking their true origins.
  • Sympathizes with Ben Tennyson due of his rather uncontrollable Alien X form.

For whatever reason, I feel like when it comes to making things happen in the Pantheon, we're sort of telling what happens in the Pantheon as well.
