Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:
- 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 means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
- For new and reworked deities, 4 is a 3 day waiting period.
- 5 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 is a 3 day waiting period.
- 4 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.

- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Sarah Kerrigan, Lelouch vi Britannia, XCOM
- Conflicting Opinion: Iroque
- In a random bout of realization that he was without any allies in the Pantheon, Tobias elected to ascend one of his fellow Animorphs, Ax, remembering a Catchphrase of his. However, because of the Bolivian Army Ending his group fell victim to, where The One had assimilated his Andalite friend and the remaining Animorphs were last seen electing to ram its ship, he was forced to request for help. One skirmish of the Grand United Alliance of Good later, Ax was rescued, the remaining Animorphs settled in the House of Shape as High Priests of Garfield Logan/Beast Boy, and the Andalite was offered his current title, which he accepted.
- Once caused an incident in the House of Food after going nuts (again) with his human form's sense of taste, trying out all kinds of stuff (including the inedible ones), finally ending when he got himself a spoonful of Mystery Food X. Despite everything, some gods found the whole thing funny, particularly Amethyst, who came by later, and extended the had of friendship.
- Since then, Ax often settles for "grazing" in grassy areas like the House of Nature, absorbing nutrients through his hooves. Some wonder if placing food below his hooves would work, but Ax isn't telling.
- As his kind (and his team) have been fighting Yeerks for a long time, Ax is distrustful of Puppeteer Parasites and other forms of Mind Control or Brainwashing and will stand to oppose them every time.
- As for Iroque, who fell under such methods and turned good for it, he's having a difficult time coping with that fact.
- Being part of a rebellion has gotten him on good terms with the likes of Lelouch (though it's incredibly uneasy given that he has Mind Control powers) and Jim Raynor, which by extension made him allies with the other good-aligned Starcraft deities, though his opinion on the Zerg isn't a good one.
- This also got him on the bad side of many evil alien conquerors, Arcturus Mengsk (for his relations with Raynor et al.) and Wallace Breen (for betraying his planet to the Combine, even if it's to protect ).
- While his race isn't entirely composed of proud warriors (just the military), he managed to get on good terms with Worf and Urdnot Wrex, which in turn brought him to Commander Shepard's attention. Ax harbors discomfort around the Renegade side (as his former "Prince" got close to this side and pretty much went off the deep end), and approves greatly of the Paragon side.
- He also ended up in a fierce duel with Undyne, who greeted him with a challenge as per usual of her, and gave her a very good fight with tail-blade and spear (which she gives him upon turning his SOUL green).
- Some people are confused as to how/why Ax and Tobias are uncle and nephew despite their differences as species. The answer: Elfangor, Ax's older brother, after an incident involving Time Travel and lost faith, morphed into a human, voluntarily suffered Shapeshifter Mode Lock, fell in love with Tobias's future mother, married, and bore Tobias before he was brought back by the Ellimist to the war and returned to normal, leaving his wife behind and her memories of him wiped.
- Because of what his "Prince" Jake became as a result of the war he and his fellow Animorphs fought, he despises those who send troops to their death to achieve a goal, and Mori Motonari is one such example. As such, he gets along well with Robin and the Tactician (whether or not they're one and the same).
Escafil Device ("blue box", Morphing Cube)
- Potential Place: Maximum Security
- Appearance: A glowing light blue cube
- Alignment: True Neutral
- Portfolio: Animorphism, Touched By Andalites, Super-Empowering
- Domains: Morphing, Technology
- The Escafil device is an artifact that gives an individual the power to morph…which is not that impressive in the Pantheon given the existence of magic and other shapeshifters.
- It is operated by touch contact, and one individual, the "giver," who should already have the morphing ability, has to touch one side of it, while those receiving the morphing ability have to touch the other sides. When touched, it gives the user the permanent ability to "acquire DNA" from live animals and change ("morph") into the animal. There is no known limit as to how many morphs one can possess, though one would assume by means of its storage that the number would be quite high (highest so far is 53). And one can also heal using the morphing process. And while the process [[PainfulTransformation looks painful, it actually isn't.
- That said, the device has been able to grant others that ability simply by contact, though admittedly in that case the recipients were non-sentient animals (an ant and a buffalo). More tests are required.
- In regards to the "morph" ability, the recipient, henceforth called "the Morpher", needs to make physical contact with the subject the Morpher wishes to "acquire" the DNA of, and concentrate hard to "acquire" them. Once that is done, the Morpher needs to think of that animal to transform into it. They will still retain their own consciousness but will also have to deal with the instincts of the animal they've turned into, and they also get the ability to thought-speak.
- As Tobias can attest to, if the Morpher doesn't turn back to their original form before two hours have passed (time to morph and time to de-morph, usually two minutes, counts in that time limit), they run the risk of suffering Shapeshifter Mode Lock, though that's relatively easy to fix in the Pantheon.
- "Acquiring" a morph cannot be done in the following conditions: 1) making contact with someone with the same morphing power (though morphs does by other shapeshifters hasn't been tested), and 2) while the Morpher is currently assuming a morph.
- The Morpher must return to their natural form first before morphing into another form; transitioning between morphs is impossible.
- Using the Frolis Maneuver, the Morpher can "combine the DNA" of several samples from the same species to create a new being for a morph, as proven by Ax. But one cannot use a specific example used in that combination unless the Morpher :acquires" that sample again.
- There are rare cases where a Morpher is allergic to DNA they have acquired, becoming nauseous, and prone to involuntary bouts of morphing when under stress. After a certain amount of time, between a few days and a week, one commits the hereth Illint (which basically means "burping DNA"), forcing out the creature in its entirety. Through the cascading cellular regeneration, an entirely new animal is created, and expelled from the Morpher's "roster", with predictable results should this animal prove to be dangerous.
- Z-space is involved when morphing into something of a different size than their regular body, extruuding that mass into Z-space when assuming a smaller morph, and extracting from that space when assuming a larger morph.
- The Morpher can morph any living multicelluar animal whose DNA they have acquired. However, one cannot morph a plant, a dead animal, inanimate objects (like chairs), or bacterium. Energy Beings, Mechanical Lifeforms, and other beings without DNA (e.g. the Crystal Gems) are among these exceptions.
- There is also the issue of clothing: unless it's skintight like a leotard or a wetsuit, it's not gonna transform with the Morpher, either bunching over them or being torn apart. This also includes shoes.
- One can actually "acquire" from sentient beings like other humans, aliens, etc., but this is ill-advised not only for moral reasons, but because there are enough impostors in the Pantheon as it is, and there are better methods of doing that than the Escafil Device.
- In regards to "acquiring", the subject falls into a trance and becomes docile, similar to being tranquilized, though this effect lasts for mere seconds, so actually utilizing this is difficult. Also, the acquiring process may very rarely has no effect whatsoever, so it's not really worth "weaponizing" this.
- The Escafil Device's creator species, the Andalites, merely use one or two morphs and master them for the purposes of subterfuge. The Animorphs however utilized this ability to the fullest, amassing a vast arsenal of Earth animals (mostly) for various purposes, specifically battle. The potential this cube has makes it deserving of its position in the Maximum Secutiry sector, despite all the other powers and artifacts in the Pantheon that surpass this in terms of power.

Can anybody give me a list of deities cruel to animals? So far, all I can think of are The Grox, Saxton Hale, Ghetsis Harmonia, and Hexxus (even though he's cruel to nature in general)
TV Tropes Pantheon Group Members DatabaseCruella Devil?
So the cleanup is done. My only issue would be that Annabeth Chase and Thrawn share The Strategist
Only description are left. I already have a good one for Soldiers. Anything else?
Uni catAfter looking at all of those, I have to say that everything has been done impeccably well.
Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark.Mind if I work on the following: Sparky, God of Lightning Travel. I'm an old time fan of the series, he's the most characterized of the experiments besides Stitch, and he can travel both as lightning and through electric currents
Thanks

- Conflicting Opinion: Big Boss
- The mysterious vigilante and the most wanted "criminal" of his world, Soldier: 76 is a complete mystery to anyone who ever heard of him. Rumors indicate that he may be an Ex-Overwatch agent looking for answers behind the fall of Overwatch, whose methods put him at odds with the official authorities. In truth, the man behind the mask is none other than Jack Morrison, former commander of Overwatch, who was believed dead after an accident he was caught up in a Swiss facility. Certainly that wasn't enough to take the old Morrison down and he is now on the run looking for the culprits of his downfall.
- Although he isn't very interested in the whole pantheon bussiness, he accepted this position only to search for information about the incident oof Overwatch. We recommend that you don't waste his time because, while he definitely means good, he is not very nice
- Odio has noted that Soldier's backstory is very similar to what he used to be when he was Oersted. The two being two celebrated heroes that were victims of a betrayal of a close friend. But while Odio curses humanity, 76 merely lost his idealism but still try to fight for a good cause, even if he's cynic as hell about it. Odio is always telling him that they're Not So Different and that he will end up like him. 76's response?
- He respects Kiritsugu and complete symphatizes with what he has gone through. He is one of the few people that he personally asked for assistance in his quest to unmantle the ones who took down overwatch. While Kiritsugu isn't sure if he will involve himself in the whole Overwatch bussiness, he certainly agrees with 76's cynical views of the world to consider aiding him on his crusade.
- As the holder of The Cynic, Soldier: 76 can really understand Athrun Zala's position and they both share the same cynical view on war. Athrun also suggested making an alliance with the vigilante in order to take down the terroristic organizations that plagues the pantheon, including Reaper. wHILE 76 has really little interest on helping him, he hasn't turned down his offer and he believes that later down the road he will join him anyway.
Soldier: 76: Old habits die hard i guess...
- Being a former hero from the Overwatch organization, Soldier: 76 has been described as "Captain America fused with The Punisher". Though he indeed respects both men for what their stand for, as 76 can very well identify with them.
- Has found a friend of sort in Big Boss, of all people, who empathize what he went through, which is almsot exactly the same fate that Big Boos suffered. As such, both pledged to help each others.
- That said, 76 still don't fully trust the other soldier, seeing as he crossed lines 76 would never do.
- Sometimes, 76 completely drops his Cynic personality and become what deities Nickname as "Dad: 76", where he becomes a father figure to the younger members of the Pantheon, bordering levels of Papa Wolf. Don't ever think of harming his children, as he's got you in his sights.
- People who regularly see him say that he never takes off his mask and visor. And we mean, never, not even when he is eating or drinking◊
- Surprisingly enough, he gets along with Captain Price and Alex Mason given their similar pasts, especially when dealing with falling organizations and betrayal. Though a few people may jokingly remark that 76 behaves a lot like them, much to his chagrin.
- "We're all soldiers now"
Again, what would commanders think of him? (Him being Commander of Overwatch and eventually being betrayed and becoming a vigilante)

The One Who Crosses The Sky In FlamesYou know, I sorta wish that Zatoichi would be in the Pantheon someday, but I think all of the tropes best associated with him are already taken. Blind Weaponmaster seem like a better fit but Kenshi has it.
Erron Black, The God with the Marked Bullet (The Wandering Fool (by Kitana))
- Lesser God
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, with True Neutral leanings
- Portfolio: Showing an almost complete lack of emotions, Puts his opponent's names on a bullet, a blade from a severed Tarkatan Blade, having a vague fascination with girls with guns (especially Sonya and Jacqui), having a pair of guns, Is much older than his appearance would suggest due to Shang Tsung's magic, Professional Killer, Throwing a vial of sand as a bomb, Loyalty based upon money, Breaking every single law of gun safety and physics but looks badass while doing it, The voice of Troy Baker
- Domains: Guns, Bounty Hunters, Stoicism
- Current employer: Kotal Kahn
- Allies: Shang Tsung (he slowed his aging process), Ahau Kin, Wario, Syzoth/Reptile, Ermac, Zeref, Ogre, Revy
- Rivals: Cassie Cage and Jacqui Briggs, Kung Jin, Takeda Takahashi, Shinnok, John Marston, McCree
- Enemies: Johnny Cage, Jax, Noel Vermillion, Mileena, Baraka, Tanya, Sonya Blade (though Erron is attracted to her), Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion, Scarface, Facehuggers, Kuai Liang/Sub-Zero, Raiden, Shao Kahn, Kano
- He was welcomed by his current employer, Kotal Khan, and his Praetorian Guard, Reptile and Ermac. He still however operates as a hired gun, though.
- Whenever he's about to brutalize his targets, he shoots a bullet that has the name of the target. He is said in fact to have a named bullet for every single member of the Pantheon, including big names such as Lucifer, Majin Buu, and Asura themselves. For proof of having names of every gods in the Pantheon, he has a bullet marked for "Me."
- He thanked Shang Tsung when he first ascended into the Pantheon, mostly for providing his service to Outworld and in exchange, having his age slowed by his magic. That way, he could very patient in any assignments where he could assassinate someone like the Kahn's enemies.
- Because of his age slowing and the fact that the agreement with Shang Tsung took place 150 years ago, it is probable that Erron Black was in fact a cowboy from the old Wild West.
- He is not impressed with the other resident cowboys in the Pantheon like John Marston and McCree. He warned them that they are messing with the real gunslinger and has a bullet just for them.
- He is not on good term with Kano, as when Kano retreated from the Red Dragon, he told Erron outright that he wasn't Black Dragon material for trying to help Cassie and Jacqui who were kidnapped by the Red Dragon at the time. Since then, he could barely stand one of them and, at some point, killed one of the members, Kobra.
- Despite the fact that the two never met since the former died, Baraka doesn't like Erron Black because of his employment to Kotal Kahn. Also, he was furious when he saw that Erron Black has a Severed Tarkatan Blade, which came from an arm of one of his soldiers.
- When Raiden was under the influence of the Blood Magik, he and Erron Black battle each other and he fried him during the influence. Though Raiden relented on harming him, he has very low opinion of mercenaries and the fact that he would desert Earthrealm for money.
- Erron is less than thrilled about his ascension, him being a Hollywood Atheist and now being a god is a thing that he finds as an ironic twist of fate.
- Is not too pleased to see that one of those creatures he dubbed "ugly mofos" are in the House of House of Otherness. To his surprise, this Predator was different from the one he came across in his quest.
- He is also distasteful of Facehuggers and always shoot them on sight. Since he seems to know what they are and what they do, there are implication that Erron encountered the Xenomorphs before.
- Has stated to have a small fascination with women who wield guns. This is exactly why he is rather enthralled by Revy herself, who thinks of her as his female cousin from another timeline. Revy seems to be OK with it, but did say to Erron that if he tries to do anything funny to her, she'll shoot him point-blank. This however didn't stop many deities from shipping the two of them.

Fire Emblem Heroes Code: 4547311645 Fate/Grand Order Code: 188037115Roku@ I didn't find Jade-Colored Glasses on Jon Snow or anywhere on Games of Throne pages so I'm doubtful on him getting the trope. I'd not, I think it could be given to Fate's Archer to get it. Guy started as a man wanting to be a hero. Unfortunately, he ends up being betrayed by people he tried to save and ends up as a glorified Assassin for the Earth.
Faso@ There's Superman who sometimes leads the Justice League. Maybe some interaction with Artoria and Arthur Pendragon. Both were kings who led the Round Table. Sadly, thinks fell apart .

@ Roku: Dude, spoilers! BTW, since we don't know is Rhaegar bothered to practice polygamy in Robert's Rebellion, he could still be a Heroic Bastard. Hey, he's got a better chance of being legitimized now that almost all legit heirs are dead. Also, for some reason I can't see your Aegon draft in your sandbox.

The only thing I could think of for Zatoichi is High-Pressure Blood since in his movie, people has hoses for vessels and he's the one doing it. There's also Handicapped Badass but Baiken has it, in which I wonder if he could replace her.
Fire Emblem Heroes Code: 4547311645 Fate/Grand Order Code: 188037115So much to discuss...
@Chris: For Zarya, my ideas for her include Removable Turret Gun, Chainsaw-Grip BFG or Muscles Are Meaningful. Also, I was tossing around ideas for Bastion for Grew Beyond Their Programming.
@Brynhild: I don't know if Ato-ko would really care what happens to someone else. Not her problem. Though she did once send a box of love potion-laced chocolate to Nyarko to sort of mess around. Also, I do feel like there should be some mention to the Brawn Hilda thing.
edited 30th Jun '16 10:01:00 PM by TPPR10
Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!Bsn@ I know he in. But that trope was more meme base.
Tppr@ I had a feeling she wouldn't care that much. And I trying to think of a way to mention Brawn Hilda.
Should probably mention Bryn loves everything to some degree. Her spear uses it to hurt her foes after all. Only evil Mary Sues like Manaka have 0% love from her.
Her love extends to rocks, water, trees, buildings, wapons, etc.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.Anyways I just read the news that the Americanized Death Note will premier in Netflix next year.
This is all Zi-O's fault! for 76 and Erron.
I'll probably work on Zenyatta. I saw a draft for him once, anyone know where it is?
Who knows. Here's a base for any god if you want to use it
- House:
- Rank:
- Symbol:
- Theme Song:
- Alignment:
- Portfolio:
- Domains:
- Followers:
- Allies:
- Enemies:
Also, here's a suggestion for you guys, unless you have a better idea: Samuel Sterns, God of Massive Brains
Go to the Restructure thread for stuff like that. From what I heard, they want to give her Rei Ayanami Expy in some way

@Whirl RX: In regards to Jade-Colored Glasses under Jon Snow the trope in question is found on his Ice and Fire page.
edited 1st Jul '16 5:05:45 AM by RokuAlhazared
The One Who Crosses The Sky In FlamesSo it turns out that Rei subverts Emotionless Girl. What other tropes could we give her? The best I can think of is Bandage Babe.
Hey guys, do you think I couldgive Zatoichi High-Pressure Blood since in his movie, people has hoses for vessels and he's the one doing it. There's also Handicapped Badass but Baiken has it, in which I wonder if he could replace her.
What is "it?"" Which one?

Fire Emblem Heroes Code: 4547311645 Fate/Grand Order Code: 188037115Mvs@ You can go with it. It's too bad he couldn't get Blind trope.
We decided it goes to the actual expies. Just like Shana Clone.
JRAD@ If it's not taken Apocalypse Maiden might work.
Also, Shana, just like Rei subverts being a Tsundere. I think she needs a new trope as well.
Roku@ Ok. But Archer still needs a trope change. And that trope would of work.
Mvs@ Blind Weaponmaster. Funny story, he was suggested for the trope. But nobody knew about the Zatoichi series to do him.

Oh boy, another can of worms has opened, and I've only been here for three days.
Also, when it comes to Transformers, are we merging all the continuities, except Shattered Glass, of course?

Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark.
@Whirl I think she would have Conflicted opinion on Widowmaker. On one hand, widow killed her husband and became an assassin but on the other she didn't do it by choice
