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.

Standard repost of Roose Bolton. Also, first draft for Peppermint Butler. What else would you like to add?

Roose Bolton, God of The Right Of First Night (The Leech Lord, Lord of the Dreadfort, Warden Of The North)

Peppermint Butler, Divine Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant (Pep-But, Peps, Dark One)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Peppermint_Butler_2076.PNG
  • House: Fear
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: His bowtie
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral with evil inclinations
  • Portfolio: Friendly Yet Full Of Terrors, Psycho Sidekick Yet Ultimately On Good's Side, Sort Of Evil, Undying Loyalty, Funny Psychopathic Good Guys, Hyper-Competent Battle Butler, Bowties, "I'd Like Your Flesh", Would Hurt a Child, Much Older Than He Looks
  • Domains: Butlers, Candy, Loyalty, Evil, Terror
  • Followers: Feferi Peixes, Guu, Marta, Fregley
  • Allies: Princess Bubblegum, Finn the Human, Jake the Dog, Marceline, Lady Rainicorn, Lord Varys, Raven, Pinkie Pie, Darkrai, Jack Skellington, Tomoko Nozamo, Sebastian Michaelis
  • On good terms with: The House of Vampires, Prismo, Death (Supernatural and Regular Show), Decim
  • Drinking buddies with: HK-47, Ryuk
  • Enemies: The Lich, Orgalorg, Nekron, Shiro Tagachi, Prince Hans, Trigon, Ra's Al Ghul, Stocking Anarchy, Gluttony, Dhuum, Death Phantom
  • Opposes: The Ice King
  • Princess Bubblegum has ruled the Candy Kingdom for centuries, and for those centuries she's had the help of the friendly Peppermint Butler. Courteous, amiable and overall friendly he's seen as a great man. Behind that cheerfulness, however, lies a sinister side that loves demonic rituals, plays with Death and other things that bump in the night.
    • It should be worth noting that despite his cruel streak, Peppermint Butler is Lawful Neutral and not Lawful Evil. He's completely loyal to Princess Bubblegum, and is trying to keep the peace of the Candy Kingdom. He just happens to have some "hobbies" like cavorting with the infernal, but won't let them interfere with the good of the kingdom. Still creepy however.
  • Loving the macabre, he was happy to put of post in the House of Fear. His best friend there Darkrai, due to the nightmares he causes. While Darkrai points out it's mainly a self-defense mechanism, that doesn't stop Pep-But from being intrigued by the bad dreams produced. Darkrai helps him delve into the minds and dreams of others for...research. When not with Darkrai, he tries to keep away from Ra's Al Ghul; he's made an enemy of him for trying to steal from the Lazarus Pit in order to help Princess Bubblegum.
    • While Tomoko Nozamo held the position of Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant, Peppermint Butler was permitted to take it as she already have Perky Goth. There's no hard feelings about this, and the two get long about spooky things. Asides from the macabre, he hangs out with Jack Skellington to share spooky stories with.
  • Fascinated with vampire lore. Sure, he'll do his best to hunt them if needed be but otherwise likes to visit the members of the House of Vampires. Above all, he's a colossal fanboy of Dracula himself. Almost instantly after entering the pantheon, Peppermint Butler asked the Lord of Vampires for autographs. Dracula agreed for a certain price. That price was the kid of one of his enemies.
    • On his off-days you can usually see him making deals and trying to gain power from members of the House of Demons. Activities there have included trying to capture Pazuzu using Cinnamon Bun, experimenting with Behelits and partying it up in South Park Satan's Hell. He respects Sebastian the most, as they're both effective yet sinister butlers.
  • Can be seen conversing with Varys, as the two can agree that anything must be done for the good of the realm. He's interested in the eunuch's "little birds and spiders" so as to increase the Candy Kingdom's spy work. On a more casual level he can be seen bonding and sometimes drinking with HK-47 over being token evil teammates.
    • Is good friends with the Death of his world, which helped save Finn and Jake due to association onto their travel to the Underworld. He's managed to get along with the Deaths of Supernatural and Regular Show, the latter over a music bet. In particular he has strong synergy with the psychopomp Decim for being a butler. Dhuum, however, does not like him. He's disdainful towards him for using his friendship to help with cheating death.
  • When learning that the Grand United Alliance of Destruction had the Lich, he immediately alerted Princess Bubblegum. Nekron has noticed Peppermint Butler, and considers him a genuine threat as he's befriended some of the Deaths and can enter the Underworld at will. Pep-But also alerted Bubblegum about Stocking Anarchy and Gluttony, fearing that they may try to eat the Candy Kingdom.
    • Is trying to prevent suitors of Princess Bubblegum, as she's clearly not interested in them. This is especially the case of Prince Hans, whom he believes will attempt to usurp the Candy Kingdom through trying to marry her. Also keeping an eye out for Shiro Tagachi, as he naturally hates treacherous bodyguards.
  • Was interested in Raven, having noticed the Commonality Connection between her and Marceline. Having learned of her connection to Trigon, he's trying his best to use dark magic and lock the Ravager away forever. That, and most likely to try and steal his/her demonic essence for himself. Hard to tell, really.
    • Asides from his morbid interests, Peppermint Butler's a big fan of parties. When not hanging out at Prismo's, he likes to visit Pinkie Pie's parties. This may have something to do with both her and Bubblegum being really pink.

@Mee: Any idea on what trope Alan Wake could get? I think I remember a while ago someone put a list of potential tropes from the Reworking Gods page under the "Deities who need Rework" section could get. I think Help Yourself in the Future was proposed for him, but I'm not sure if that actually was the trope for him or not.

@faso: If that's what you want, I guess (Gorillaz were tropeless, though Virtual Celebrity is a trope; then again, I don't know if that trope will work for them or not). I did remember Chris wanting to rework JAM Project and BSN talking about a trope to give Eddie Riggs (and mentioned that a rework Miracle of Sound as a possibility). Patrick said he could rework Kanye West later. Then again, I'm just stating what I know and to me, the Reworking Gods page is just another page for Unsorted (at least going by the purpose of listing deities without a trope that need one, though a couple deities in the Reworking Gods page under the "Deities who need Rework" part do have a trope).

Also, would Craft be a good spot for Face Doodling or would a different house work better for that trope?

I was wondering the same thing. In fact, I looked up on his character sheet and somehow, all his more known tropes are taken. Also, I can't see the holder of Badass Bookworm in Knowledge.

@Mee: Maka Albarn has Badass Bookworm, though she has Sinister Scythe as well. The title on that profile just looks weird to me for whatever reason:

Maka Albarn, Goddess of Scythe Wielders and Badass Bookworms ("Tiny-Tits" by Soul) and Soul Eater Evans, God of Scythes (Soul, Soul Eater)

Also, I take it that you want Badass Bookworm for Alan Wake?

Honestly yeah. I mean Alan has went through nightmarish shadows on a Silent Hill-esque town and at the same time looking for his lover, all being while having wrtier's block.

Then, there is the fact that the entire story of Alan Wake was his written making.

@Izanami: Has there been instances that an SMT deity stood side by side with the 'actual deity'? The SMT!Izanami seemed too differing than the mythical Izanami, because there's no way she'd be interested in 'knowing mankind's desires' or even have 'grants TV powers to random people' power...

(Granted, I've seen this being done in Nasuverse editions, with Medusa and King Arthur... but SMT/Persona? I dunno)

She might even be closer in form with Hades Izanami, but... I've heard rumor that even that one Izanami was a creation of something rather than the original myth Goddess that we were led to believe.

So apparently people who can't pronounce Torbjorn just call him "Toblerone". Got to add that.

@Mee Isn't there a trope for his Flashlight? Because i think the game revolves around that

The problem with Maka & Evans' title is that it comes off as:

[[PotholeWorkName Character A]], Deity of TropeX and TropeY (Nicknames) and [[PotholeWorkName Character B]], Deity of TropeX (Nicknames)

One of the characters has a trope that applies exclusively to them and not the other character. I'm probably nitpicking here, but I usually expect a title to be:

[[PotholeWorkName Character (or group name if you have more than three characters in a profile)]], Deity of TropeX (and maybe TropeY if you want two tropes) (Nicknames)

Generally speaking, I'm only proposing for Maka & Evans' title to be worded less awkwardly and that way, they will just share one trope and not have an additional trope that only applies to one of them.

I guess by doing that, it'll free up Badass Bookworm for Mee to potentially use in his rework for Alan Wake (maybe), assuming that people here are OK with that quick change. Then again, I'm wondering if others have their own potential candidate for Badass Bookworm.

Any help with writing the San fact. I haven't seen Princess Mononoke for years and I don't remember it well. Maybe more elaboration on Davros.

Io, Deity of Wisps (Guardian Wisp)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maxresdefault_80.jpg
  • Overdeity
  • Symbol: It's energy particle
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Energy Being, Nature Spirit, Requires Tether to support, Require cooperation and coordination as well as Spirits usage, Overcharge, Relocate, Older than time itself, Sentient Cosmic Force
  • Domains: Wisp, Energy
  • Allies: Malfurion Stormrage, Tyrande Whisperwind, Pyrrha Nikos, Magneto, Monsoon, Catherine Kyoubashi, San
  • Rivals: The Champions of Runeterra
  • Enemies: Davros
  • Odd Friendship: Chaos Knight
  • Io is one of the four Fundamentals alongside Keeper of the Light, Chaos Knight, and Enigma. He is the embodiment of electromagnetic force which controls all physical matter and charges. Io somehow entered the Field of the Ancients and strongly impact any battle through it powers.
  • One would never think that Chaos Knight and Io would work together, considering his objective. But Chaos Knight becomes the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse from Io giving him health, mana, attack speed, and damage reduction.
  • The ascended Night Elves were at first confused at the sight of Io, believing that he was one of the Worker Unit that managed to ascend. But they considered it very sacred because of it's power in creating reality, and the fact that it seems to hang around in nature.
    • San, too, like Io as a primordial nature spirit and the fact that
  • Merida thought that the Wisp was going to help change fates to her again like before. While Wisp isn't the same as the Wisps in her world, it could help change the lives of others.
  • Do not confuse this Io with Io the dragon. Somehow, a big ball of light can be confused with a dragon that dwarfs other dragons.
  • As the embodiment of electromagnetic force, he could bind all matter together. It is capable of bonding with anyone like magnets and make the bonded much more stronger. Though it itself doesn't emit electricity or magnetism, the fact that it might have created such forces in noted by masters of magnetism.
  • Since it's looks like a ball of light, it is thought to be a fairy like Navi.
  • Monsoon is interested in Io, not in fodder but the embodiment of nature. Apparently, Monsoon loves nature and that Io is everywhere, including nature.
  • The wisp doesn't speak but through beeps and boops. Only few deities could actually understand the wisp.
    • It got into a conversation with Bastion. The conversation goes like "Boop boop" and "Beep beep" (translation is close to resemble "We love nature.")
  • Davros tried to capture Io in order to cancel the force between atoms for his Reality Bomb.

Izanami has been treated as a tragic figure who naturally reacted to her husband being unable to not look at her when she asked and then try to ditch her, but not before taking a potty break on the way out.

Izanami has been pretty similar to her myth version and has especially been treated as a tagic soul in other SMT games , from YHV Hs minions brainwashing the gods of death and the underworld to kill the Filthy unworthy humans in SMTIV, her tragic desire to be with Izanagi but too ashamed of how she acted in the legend to see him in Eternal Punishments Tatsuya Scenario, to the tragic heroine who reincarnated to be with Izanagi/Nakajima in the novels that started it all.

Funnily enough Lucifer is the antagonist in the final third book for DDS, seeking to punish Nakajima for releasing the demons upon humanity in the first novel and feeling Nakajima got away with too much death caused by his actions.

So anything i could add for Torbjorn? Cause i think the profile is long enough already

Torbjörn Lindholm, God of Turrets (Torbjörn, Torb, Toblerone)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/torbjorn.png
  • Potential House: Robotics & Machinery
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His Turret
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral leaning towards Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Abnormal Ammo, Anti-Hero, Racist Grandpa, Artificial Limbs, Badass Beard, Badass Grandpa, Badass Mustache, Cool Old Guy with his peers, Viewed as a paranoid for distrusting sentient AIs and ultimately proven right, The Engineer, Racist againt Omnices, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Percussive Maintenance, Properly Paranoid, MOLTEN CORE!
  • Domains: Engineering, Weapon Designment, Turrets, Racism
  • Followers: Heimerdinger
  • Allies:
  • Friendly Rival: Dell Conagher
  • Enemies: Reaper, Widowmaker, Ragnaros, Relius Clover, Dr. Eggman
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Bastion, Optimus Prime
  • Opposes: Any ascended Sentient Robot or AI regardless of alignment
  • Odd Friendship: Luigi
  • Torbjörn Lindholm is a former Overwatch operative known for having designed the finest weapons and equipments that the modern world uses. In the past Torbjörn was hesitant when his superiors decided to use Sentient AI and was called a paranoid for thinking that the machines would get out of control one day. Sadly Torbjörn was right, not only the machines rebelled and caused havoc, but Torbjörn himself was recruited in a special Task force team to deal with said creations. Even to this day, Torbjörn doesn't trust omnics and after the downfall of Overwatch, he has made his mission to shut down anyone who dares to use his creations and starting another crisis.
  • Initially his title was taken by The Engineer, but after discovering that Torbjörn not only fully dedicated himself to using a turret, but all of his equipment is built around his "baby". The engineer kindly conceded the spot to the swedish engineer, but they still mantain a friendly rivarly even after Torbjörn's ascension.
  • Torbjörn has a really big case of Fantastic Racism against Robots, understandable since the Omnic Crisis has left a big scar in his mind. But when he learnt that the House he was assigned for was almost completely full of Robots, he was very upset. Bystanders say that Torbjörn was screaming "No no no no no no NO! N. O. NO!!" and frantically running around until his friends calmed him down. However, he put a sign in front of his temple which said "Any tin can that decides to enter my house will be properly dealt with"
    • Of course, Torbjörn doesn't agree with Optimus Prime's motto of "The Right of all Sentient being" and he likes to remind him that, even though the Autobots don't mean any harm, he will still not trust them.
    • It should be noted that Torbjörn is fine if the aforementioned robot really is not sentient at all, which is like what his turrets does, 'Built to serve' and all. If the robot requires piloting to even do activity, he's fine.
  • Of all the Overwatch agents, he is the closest with his good buddy Reinhardt. Although their friendship sometimes shifts from a friendly Body-Count Competition about who get the most eliminations and the loser buys the drink to constant bickering with each other.
    Torbjörn: I sometimes wonder if all that armor slows your brain down!
    Reinhardt: Ja! And I sometimes wonder if your height is why you're always in such a bad mood!
  • Being a engineer, Torbjörn has met a lot of engineers as well and got to see what they can do with their creations. In particular he gets to hang out a lot with Isaac Clarke, who he used to serve as a follower.
    • He also got to meet Tails, who Torbjörn believes that he has great potential and decided to tutor him in the mastery of engineering, exhibiting a rare side of him that only his closest friends know. And when he heard about Dr. Eggman's exploits and how he turned animals into robots, he was furious. He believes that no one deserves to be turned into a Tin Can and declared that he put a stop to his plans once and for all.
  • In spite of his stature and looks, he'll gruffly remind you that he's not a dwarf. He finds Muradin Bronzebeard an okay guy, though.
  • Erik, Olaf and Baelog initially thought that Torbjörn was another fellow Viking given their similar accents but in truth they were confused by all the gear that he carries. While they are good friends, both Olaf and Baelog like to joke that Erik finally found a friend of his size.
  • Many people are annoyed that Torbjörn has a tendency to make the camera work the wrong way when he's supposed to be doing glorious table-turning event, it was his turret doing his job, while he's 'dead'. This strange occurances made Torbjörn befriend Luigi, who is also known to win games without doing absolutely nothing.
  • He has access to a special mode called "Molten Core" where he overheats his forge gaining a lot of armor and upgrading his turret in the process. And he is very resiliant to damage, so whenever you hear "MOLTEN CORE!", you are probably going to die a quick death by turret.
    • Those who have witnessed Torbjörn's transformation may have noticed that he looks like a small Ragnaros the Firelord, who also happenned to live in the Molten Core. Torbjörn on his part doesn't like the comparison, the farther he stays away from the destructive elemental lord the better. Not even when Ragnaros was destroying the robots he hated, because the fire lord tends to be indiscriminate that Torbjörn could get caught in the blast.
  • Torbjörn got a little panicked when he heard there's a Sven in the Pantheon. Thinking it was his scientist friend that went mad that he attempted to wreck a city with a giant piloted Omnic, Torbjörn attempted to tell him if he steps out of line again, he'll not show mercy... only to find out that it's actually the Half-Meranth Half-Pallid Rogue Knight Sven. Thankfully Torbjörn just left after apologizing without making mentions about his prejudice with Omnics, since it's more likely to trigger Sven to go apeshit on him due to his past.
  • Because of his size (not age), Torbjörn didn't have any luck with ladies, thinking that he's taking advantage of his short size to peek beneath their clothes. He's not that kind of pervert, but sometimes his words accidentally made him look like that.
  • As opposed to his good buddy Reinhardt, Torbjörn gets along better with Kokonoe Mercury since he seems interested in what she can do to his 'babies'. Last time, he was able to make his turret fire off Magitek-powered Hadokens with her help. There is, however, one chink on their friendship: Torbjörn pretty much looks down at any Murakumo units, including Lambda-11, saying that she's no different than those tin cans/Omnics that might cause crisis later. On the other hand, Kokonoe would usually stand up for Lambda from Torbjörn's berating in spite of her questionable uses on her.
    • This in turn makes him hate Relius Clover, whom Torbjörn sees as nothing but an 'unrepentant deadly tin can-making factory', and looks more than likely to give him nightmares, from the Murakumo Units to the automatons made out of his family. And to make matters worse, he accidentally said that within the earshot of Carl Clover, who didn't take his sister being called 'tin can' well. Thankfully Torbjörn managed to run away before he got turned into a volleyball.
  • Has noted that there are quite a lot of deities that sounds suspiciously like him but he pays no attention to them. However, he is really mad that Rumble and Frenzy also share the same voice with him.
  • When it comes to deities, he has no real opinion over them. Even when his name translates to "Thor's bear", he really isn't friends with the God of Thunder himself. However, one deity he respects is Vulcan, who was able to master the art of Turrets before technology was even possible. Torbjörn is understandably amazed at the Smith of the Gods' craftmanship and later they became friends.
  • Deities who have trouble pronouncing his name just call him Toblerone, which he doesn't find funny at all.
  • People asked him that if he knew about IKEA, given that he hails from Sweden. According to Torbjörn, the last time he tried to build something from IKEA didn't went as expected for him
  • Has an habit of dressing as a biker or a pirate, sometimes even to the point of modifying his babies to look like his costumes.
  • "Build 'em up, break 'em down!"
