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.

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.
  • BLEEP BLOOP BEEP note

The Inception Crewmembers , Deities of Dreams within Dreams and Opinion Changing Dreams

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/inception_8.jpg
From left to right: Eames, Cobb, Ariadne, Yusuf, Arthur
  • Potential House: Mind Games
  • Theme Song: Time.
  • Lesser God(ddes)s
  • Symbol: Cobb's top
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolios: Badass Crew, Caper Crew, Gray-and-Gray Morality
  • Domains: Memory, Trickery, Construct, Nightmare
  • Herald: Saito
  • Allies: Ebenezer Scrooge, Pluto, Lucy Ricardo, Michael Scott, Carmen Sandiego, The PAYDAY crew and and the GTAV crew
  • Enemies: Immorten Joe, Bane
  • Opposes: Calvin J. Candie, The House of Justice
  • Annoyed by: Imperator Furiosa, Max Rockatansky, Bruce Wayne / Batman
  • Complicated Relationship: Dream of the Endless, Ysera, The House of Commerce
  • Pities: Jack Dawson, Romeo Montague, Jay Gatsby
  • Their daring journey into a person's mind not one, but 'four times earned the crew entry into the Pantheon. While they have initially went their separate ways, they converge in the Pantheon whenever someone wants to hire them to perform a similar operation.
    • One of the biggest obstacles towards their ascension was the fate of Cobb. It is implied that he got out of limbo though a few deities still believe he is stuck there to this day. With the creators remaining mum over the scene, the ending will likely be debated for years to come.
  • It is now believed that they are responsible for every dream sequence that has multiple dream sequences. Other creators have started to use them as part of them repertoire. The crew feel that they constantly have to go deeper just to maintain their reputation.
  • The only participant that didn't achieve godhood outright, Saito was considered a tourist at best. Indeed, he didn't have a good performance in the first dream level. Nevertheless, the others decided to grant him herald status as thanks.
  • Virtually everyone in the Pantheon wanted to know just how Dream of the Endless would react to potential rivals. When asked, his opinion felt... mixed. Sure, he is not pleased with the fact that ascended humans have now achieved the power to not only enter but also change dreams at will. Ultimately, the prospect intrigues him. It's this reason that he as allowed them to enter the Pantheon... for now. The crew strive not to piss him off as he is infamous to hold grudges for millennia.
  • As it turns out, Cobb has many other beings in the Pantheon who share an avatar. His reaction to them varies:
    • He sympathizes with the likes of Gatsby and Jack Dawson: the both of which for their untimely demises. He is only grateful that he did not have the same fate. The same goes to Romeo, although he doesn't always share the same avatar.
    • However, he feels nothing but contempt for Calvin for obvious reasons. Yusuf especially finds him abhorrent.
  • Eames had much worse luck regarding the characters that look like him. One time at the bar, she was tackled by a one-armed woman and beaten half to death before the Road Warrior got her off him. Turns out Furiosa thought he looked like the hated Immorten Joe. She didn't apologize, but promised not to make the same mistake.
  • He has also been put in Batman's radar as of late, due to his similarities to Bane, the Genius Bruiser. Not wanting to deal with such a dangerous superhero, they cut all ties with the villain. Batman does have a soft spot with Arthur, who reminds him of John Blake.
  • Is widely seen as responsible for changing Scrooge's alignment to Lawful Good. Cobb admitted it wasn't their true goal; it was suggested by the Christmas Gods for them to do so. Still, Scrooge thanks them for give him a change of heart.
  • Pluto has also thanked them for realizing how cruelly he's treated feline followers.
  • Are under constant observation from Ysera, God of Dream Weavers. Although the dragon recognizes they are not inherently evil, she knew that they were capable of doing to for the right price. The group made a deal with her not to deal with her affairs while striving not to deal with more sinister deities.
  • Rumor has it that Lucy's avatar would not have converted her radio show to the television screen if not for a dream that convinced her otherwise. Everyone has agreed it was the right thing to do, given that her creation now sits in the Pantheon over seeing all other sitcoms in the Pantheon.
  • The crew denies any involvement regarding Michael's Scott's memory of them film. The office employer still insists that he watched the movie... at least that's what he thought.
  • Carmen Sandiego expressed interest in working with the crew. She may not need help when it comes to stealing items, but anyone who can steal and alter memories without the victim ever knowing could be a huge asset for her. The crew have found her a delight to work with, though they are wary about doing the same to them.
  • They are also supported by deities dedicated to The Caper. Their exploits may not be as complicated, but they helped the Inception crew plan out their capers in exchange for information on certain companies.
  • Their crimes have the House of Justice worried. The crew usually have their info before their victims even knew they were robbed. Judge Dredd promised to increase surveillance in order to track them.
  • Their main targets have been the House of Commerce, either extracting information from their heads or altering their subconscious. This puts them in an awkward position with the deities there; they may fear what they are capable of, but are all too happy to employ them to ruin their rivals. Cobb has made sure not to have favorites among the house.
  • An interesting discussion propped up among the gods; what would happen if Cobb's crew tried to enter Riley's mind with the Emotions? Neither side wanted to test it out, but a mortal did do a mash-up trailer of the two. Many thought it meshed surprisingly well.

@Chris: While Radiance already sort of answered this, but let's just say that as a whole, SMT series has two Izanamis. There is the main timeline one and then there is the P4 one. The main timeline one is more accurate to the actual myth, albeit coule of thousand years worth to calm down. She is actually a really nice girl. Heck, in the Digital Devil Story novels (where the whole series originated from), she helps the main characters to defeat Loki. Does help that the two of them are reincarnations of her and Izanagi.

Funny thing is, she does appear in Persona 2 as a demon, and in the remake, she appears with a mask to crush away her emotions as her anger for Izanagi has long been gone, and now yearns to return to him like in the old days.

Flat as hell, though

Alright, is there anything more to add to these or are Lunatone and Solrock ready to go?

Lunatone and Solrock, Dual Deities of Celestial Faces (The Meteorite Pokemon)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/solrock_lunatone_169.jpg
  • House: Planetary and Celestial
  • Lesser Deities
  • Symbol: A Moon and Sun Stone respectively
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Ability: Levitate
  • Gender: Genderless
  • Moveset:
    • Lunatone: Moonblast, Stone Edge, Light Screen, Psychic
    • Solrock: Solar Beam, Stone Edge, Sunny Day, Psychic
  • Portfolio: Solar and Lunar, Psychic Powers, Sentient Meteorites, Many Type Weaknesses, Mighty Glacier, Leviate (both of them), Lunar Faces, Lunacy, Can Know Ice Beam (specific to Lunatone), Solar Faces, The Power of the Sun, Can Learn Fire Moves (specific to Solrock)
  • Domains: Rocks, Meteorites, Space, Psychics
  • High Priest: Mr Shine and Mr Bright
  • Followers: Mac Tonight, Craterface (Lunatone), Mr Sun, Sunbeard (Solrock)
  • Allies: Deoxys, Beheeyem, Xatu, The Fantastic Four, Android 17 and 18, Mogo, Rayquaza, Galaxy Man (both of them), Princess Luna, Diana, Reisen Udongein Inaba, Tyrande (Lunatone only), Princess Celestia, Volcarona, Amaterasu, Leona (Solrock only)
  • Enemies: Davey Jones, Cyrus (both of them), Dr Eggman, Piccolo (Lunatone only), The Grand Duke Of Owls, Nightmare Moon (Solrock only)
  • Opposes: Water users, Heatran (both of them)
  • During a travel to a meteorite site, people discovered two new Pokemon; Lunatone and Solrock. Known as the Meteroite Pokemon, these sentient rocks greatly resemble a sun and and crescent moon respectively. When Tate and Liza learned that these tropes were open, they helped the two to get ascended.
    • It's believed by many Pokemon researchers that Lunatone and Solrock come from space, being living meteorites. Second hand sources from Deoxys and Beheeyem have confirmed they're extraterrestrial. They're good friends, as alien Pokemon stick together. Unlike many of the scientists at Mossdeep Space Center, they believed Deoxys meant no harm however were glad Rayquaza interfered to prevent any nasty incident.
  • The two got into some trouble with Kirby, due to briefly mistaking them for Mr Shine and Mr Brine, but Kirby quickly realized they were not the same. The two Dream Land figures serve as high priests in case they aren't available, being they can also fuction as a proper moon and sun respectively.
  • Despite being based off the moon and sun, Lunatone and Solrock can not learn Moonlight or Morning Sun unless found in the Dream World. Yes, even though they can also learn other moon and sun-related attacks. Mentioning this annoys them greatly. Lunatone's shiny form also happens to have a blue eye, which may be a Stealth Pun on the rarity of shiny Pokemon
    • They were very interested to learn that Pokemon Sun and Moon was a thing, and are hopeful that they will get a Mega Evolution or Alolan Form there-though they half-suspect they won't get anything just to be contrary. The Meteorite Pokemon also hope to meet the new Pokemon Minior, due to it being the Meteor Pokemon and kind of looks like them.
  • Lunatone and Solrock have great synergy with their partners Tate and Liza, being twins of a sort themselves. They help out with research in Mossdeep Space Center, and later on the space research in the pantheon. You can usually find them and their trainers with Galaxy Man in order to determine rocket paths.
    • The two of them proved to be fanboys of the Fantastic Four for their exploration into space, and happily sought out employment with them. They ended up discovering the Green Lantern planet Mogo, who as a colossal yet friendly celestial object they saw it as a possible friend. During these adventures they test out the limits of their psychic abilities and Levitate ability.
  • The two Pokemon may not have the same composition as the celestial bodies they resemble, but they do have an association with them; Solrock is solar powered, while Lunatone gets stronger in the full moon. The two seem to get stronger when closer to solar and lunar deities respectively, particularly the princesses of Equestria, Diana and Leona. Were they not spoken for with Tate and Liza, Lunatone and Solrock would have considered partnering with one of them each.
    • Lunatone and Solrock occasionally hold Stardust, or a Sun and Moon Stone respectively. Though there are few ascended Pokemon whom these items would affect, they're still relatively valuable. They've managed to make some bucks off selling these precious stones in the House of Commerce. In addition, Solrock has an odd alliance with Volcarona since they're both the sun Pokemon, in spite of Volcarona being really weak to Rock-type moves.
  • Lunatone does't like Dr Eggman or Piccolo, due to the same crime; their devastation on the Moon, which deeply hurt him. Likewise, Solrock dislikes the Grand Duke of Owls and Nightmare Moon for trying to put out the sun. Both agree that Cyrus needs to go; Team Galactic's interests in meteorites and other phenomena from outer space has led Cyrus to try and capture them for his purposes.
    • Vulnerable to steel, putting them on edge around Heatran because all three hang out in caves. They're more concerned about the drowning powers of Davey Jones however.

[up] I don't think we should have full on true omnipotents. Eru's a special case since he's part of the Holy Trinity, but otherwise not total omnipotents. Particularly not one who almost never appears and is mainly a cipher for the writers

On that note, would you guys be OK if I give Spike Balls of Doom to Ferrothorn? And if so, who do you think should be its partner?

[down] Oh. Well, would you be OK if I give Nerds Are Virgins to Steve Smith instead?

Hana Song, Goddess of Acquired Skills Through Gaming (D.Va)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_ch9qjzuukaald81.jpg
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Symbol: A white bunny head in a pink circle
  • Portfolio: Gamer Chick, I Know Mortal Kombat, Mini-Mecha, Bunnies for Cuteness, Future Spandex, Glass Cannon, Badass Adorable, Blue Is Heroic, Bottomless Magazines, Facial Markings, The Knights Who Say "Squee!", Mechanically Unusual Fighter, Lightning Bruiser, Self-Destruct Mechanism, Shed Armor, Gain Speed
  • Domains: Gaming, War, Robots
  • Allies: Mercy, Soldier 76, Samus Aran, Catherine Kyoubashi, Rize Tedeza, The Eva Pilots, Umaru Doma, The Puchidols
  • Enemies: Widowmaker, Sektor
  • Fangirl's over: The ascended Starcraft deities except Arcturus Mengsk
  • Professional gamer Hana Song was recruited by the South Korean government to fight a giant omnic that rises out of the East Chinese sea periodically to attack South Korea and the surrounding areas.
    • Hana, as well as many other people were recruited because as a professional Starcraft II player, Hana had the reflexes and instincts necessary to pilot her MEKA.
  • Hana is most well known among the gaming community as D.Va as that's the name she goes by online as while D.Va is a famous professional gamer, she also livestreams her fights for her fans. This has earned D.Va the ire of several deities who take fighting seriously and don't believe it should be viewed as a means of entertainment.
  • Despite being classed as a tank hero, D.Va fight or defend the team in the same sense as a normal tank, D.VA generally uses her MEKA's boosters in conjunction with her defense matrix so she can turn her enemies to swiss cheese at close range with her fusion cannons.
    • And if things are looking kinda dicey or if D.Va's MEKA takes too much damage, she can set it to boom, killing anybody in the vicinity, including (for the longest time) D.Va, if she didn't get the F outta D before it blew up. However thanks to a new material in her bodysuit, D.Va is protected from the explosion.
    • Unfortunately for D.VA, blowing up her MEKA forces her to fight with much less defense, but she gains more speed and consistent damage. Because of this, D.Va has been seen getting along well with Samus Aran as she too gains agility at the cost of power without her Power Suit.
  • Anybody who's been to D.Va's temple has often been shocked at dirty her temple is as D.Va is often spending her time either gaming or in her MEKA so she usually doesn't have the time to clean up her many empty Dorito bags and Mountain Dew bottles.
    • Not everybody who goes to D.Va's temple has seen the Gremlin!D.Va running around her temple. No one's quite sure how the Gremlin!D.Va got into D.Va's temple but one thing that everyone knows about it it that it loves the taste of mountain dew and dorito's. Because of the presence of this Gremlin!D.Va, D.Va has often been seen getting along well with Umaru Doma and the Puchidols.
  • Because she was drafted by the government to pilot a mecha to fight something threatening her country, D.Va is pretty good friends with the Eva pilots and D.Va's mental stability and cheerfulness has a kind of healing effect on the Eva pilots.
  • It's not uncommon to see D.Va being good friends with Rize Tedeza due in part to them sounding alike while speaking Japanese but also because Rize's father was in the military.
  • Because she's the youngest hero, compared to the other heroes of Overwatch whose age ranges from in their 20's to ''61'', Many deities see Soldier 76 and Mercy as being parental figures for her (When they're not being shipped together).
  • On one of her trips to the house of technology, D.Va became friends with Catherine Kyoubashi due to the both of them bringing a Mini-Mecha into battle and also because the both of them use bunnies as an Animal Motif.
  • Not long after her ascension, there was a loud Squee from the house of gaming as D.Va learned that several Starcraft deities had ascended before her and promptly went around to several of the ascended characters and Fangirled at them, getting all up in their grills and thanking them for existing because without them, the Korean government would never have selected D.Va to become a MEKA pilot.
    • One exception to D.Va's fangirlyness however is Arcturus Mengsk due to over throwing a revolution... but at what cost?
  • One thing that really annoys D.Va is when someone calls her a kid, as Widowmaker can attest to as she frequently tells D.Va that kids shouldn't be on a battlefield.
  • Ever since the time D.Va learned how deceptively voluptuous Mei's chest is, she's been very wary around around women who wear baggy or oversized clothes as she's frequently expecting them have bigger boobs than at first glance.
  • D.Va doesn't like Sektor very much on the basis that while she was given the technology to fight the Omnics to protect people, Sektor uses his technology for evil and to further his clan's technology.
  • "I play to win!"
