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.

The Harvesters, Unholy Race of Planet Looters

  • Rank: Greater Gods (collectively); Lesser Gods (Drones); Intermediate Gods (Queens)
  • Symbol: City Destroyer
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil
  • Portfolio:
  • Domains: Alien Invasion, Planet Looting
  • Allies: , Sirius
  • Rivals: The Dalek Emperor, The Borg, Black Doom, Tyranids
  • Enemies: Primus, Optimus Prime, All Autobots and Decepticons, Luke Skywalker, Mogo the Living Planet, The Neuroi, Brainiac
  • Mogo was the first to encounter the presence of the Harvesters in the space surrounding the Pantheon, when a Mothership and its assortment of City Destroyers de-cloaked in orbit of Mogo and proceeded to assault the living planet, in an attempt to harvest Mogo's core. The Green Lantern Corps and Mogo itself engage in a pitched battle with the Harvester fleet, the rings able to punch through the alien shields, but their numbers and sheer size of the City Destroyers posing a problem, as many City Destroyers began to tunnel into Mogo's core.
    • The battle ended when Luke Skywalker flew into the heart of the Mothership, fought his way through its defense, and fired proton torpedoes into the command and control center. He took a page from Han's book and used his Hyperdrive to high-tail it out of there before the Mothership exploded with him in it. The surviving Harvesters were very annoyed that they lost another Mothership to the same strategy used on them in their world.
  • The Main House offered the surviving aliens an ultimatum: Accept their title and obey the rules of the Pantheon, or be excised forcibly. Begrudgingly, the Harvesters agreed. Then the Harvester Ship de-cloaked at the northern pole of the Pantheon, which is where their race in the Pantheon remains.
  • The Harvesters despise the Autobots and Decepticons alike with a passion. Any robotic race gets their blood boiling, but the Autobots in particular remind them too much of the Sphere, their sworn and ancient enemy. They originally intended to use the Harvester on the Pantheon proper because they learnt that the entire planet was one giant Autobot - Primus himself, and wished to strip the metal planet down to nothing.
  • While they have been compared to Black Doom and the Tyranids for their locust-like behavior and hive mentality, the Harvester Queen rejected the idea of association with them. The race harvests planets cores to fuel their technologies and build new ships; they do not harvest and devour sentient beings in their conquests, or so she claims. At best, they view them as rivals to their own ambitions, and their new-found desire for eventual revenge for the destruction of the Colony Mothership.
  • Sirius was very amused by the bold tactics of the Harvesters upon their entry into the Pantheon, and so decided to introduce them to the Neuroi, claiming that the Neuroi were much like the Harvesters in wanting to harvest the resources of the planet, albeit leaving out the small detail that they were an entire race of drones and machines. The Harvesters began blowing apart Neuroi on sight, and the Neuroi responded in kind.
  • Brainiac once hijacked the technologies of the Harvesters with a virus he uploaded into their systems, wishing to learn more about the new species before he does that he always does: destroy their home once he has all the knowledge of their race absorbed. Then the Queen retook control, and forced Brainiac out. Brainiac briefly experiences psychic episodes now as a result of the encounter.

Peppermint Butler again. What else would you want me to add to him?

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.

So I decided to delete the Myth.Japanese Mythology pothole from Izanami to distance her from the actual one.

I still need help here. I think she would have a role in the Law story.

Hecatia Lapizlazuli, The Goddess Who Holds The World In Her Hand (Goddess of Hell, Freaky T-Shirt Weirdo)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_th15hecatia.png
Otherworld Body
  • Overdeity
  • Symbol: Model globes for Earth, the Moon and the Otherworld
  • Theme Music: "Pandemonic Planet"
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Goddess of Hell (With Weird Fashion Sense), Having Three Bodies With Different Personalities And Hair Colour, Being Rather Silly, While Being Stronger Than Anyone in Gensokyo And on the Moon, Perky Goth
  • Domains: Hell, Bodies, Gods, Clothing
  • Heralds: Clownpiece and other Lampads
  • Allies: Zeus, Hades, Athena, Amaterasu
  • Enemies: Houyi, The other Hades
  • An oddly dressed girl (though don't mock her fashion sense), Hecatia is actually the Goddess of Hells of Earth, the Moon and the Otherworlds (basically any place outside of aforementioned places). She has the power to have three bodies at once, allowing her to be in three locations at the same time, while her soul resides in Hell. She also carries around globes of Earth, the Moon and Otherworlds with her, and the body what is front of you can be determent on what globe is on her head, and what colour of hair and eyes she has (Blue for Earth, Yellow for the Moon and Red for Otherworlds).
  • Her hatred for Houyi comes from the fact that according to her, when he shot down the nine solar crows, they were actually nine different sun gods, one of them being Apollo. And without the light from the Sun, there might as well be no Hell since the shadows of Hell would weaken without any light. The fact that the archer is in the Pantheon annoys her greatly, but seeing that so many sun-related deities does soothe her anger.
    • Note that she has nothing against those who actually came from the Moon, even if she helped Junko attack the Lunar Capital. It was just to help a friend, see?
  • Gods from Greek mythology are really confused by her presence. The big reason being that even though she seems to be Hecate, she also isn't. Still, Hecatia likes the company of other Greek gods.
    • One big confusion comes in the fact that Greek Mythology doesn't have a Hell. They have Underworld (ruled by Hades) and Tartarus (ruled by himself) but no actual Hell as most people would call it.
    • That being said, she has bit of a headache when it comes to mortals worshiping her for things Hecate is, as she has no authority over them. The biggest one would be The Weird Sisters due of their queen being named Hecate. Basically, she wants mortals to stop worshipping her for the wrong reasons.
    • She also doesn't actually like the other Hades in the Pantheon, saying that messing with souls of the dead is not good, and is annoyed with it.
  • Her ascension caused a bit of a questioning about certain rankings of the other Touhou deities, as she is said to be stronger than anyone on Gensoukyo and on the Moon. This is especially with Eiki Shiki, as Hecatia clearly outranks her as while Eiki is just a judge in one particular Hell what includes Gensokyo. While the reason for this is hard to say, it might be that she is actually three gods in one, and since her soul itself is located in Hell, destroying one of her bodies hardly mean a thing.
  • When asked about, no, "The Hecate Sisters" are not " "maiden, mother, and crone". Each of her bodies look similar with some differences, though all three of them have different personalities. Also note that she can freely swap between her bodies as she wants and can call all of them on one spot.
  • There seems to be some sort of Running Gag of trying to put as many round objects on Hecatia's head as possible to see what happens to her. And the objects can basically be anything. Including Kirby.

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!

[up] If she's higher in the hierarchy to Eiki Shiki, I imagine she'd be interested in the current discord of the GUAL and desire to reform it. Mainly to preserve the status quo of her power by keeping Eiki Shiki where she is

So is R+L=J an It Was His Sled thing now?

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, Reinhardt, 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).
    • Due to being the oldest member of Overwatch and one of its Founding members, many deities see Reinhardt as being a surrogate grandpa for D.Va, this theory is supported by D.Va and Reinhardt being good friends with each other, sometimes meeting up to play Heartstone 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.
  • Many deities find it to be very ironic how despite D.Va yelling "Nerf this!" whenever she self destructs her MEKA, she recently got buffed, much to the dismay of Greninja who's been consistently nerfed.
  • "I play to win!"

@Clovis: To be honest, I don't think she herself would be that interested of the whole thing, not her problem. Its just that her presence throws the Super Weight of Touhou off the balance. Like the big reason why she is so high is because A) she is judge of death and B) Yukari would rather not deal with her. But with Hecatia being said to be stronger than anyone in Gensokyo and on the Lunar Capital (which include Watatsuki Sisters, who are commonly called God Mode Sues, with one of them having the power to summon gods, and one), and if Yukari's comment is more along the lines of "I can't last her lectures", it makes you wonder if she is even that strong in the first place. Is she even worth being called an Overdeity, if her realm of domain is only located to one particular Hell? Though if Hecatia would be asked that, she probably would be "Who the Hell, excuse my pun, cares?". In the sense that she doesn't want to diminish her role because of her as while The Ministry of Right and Wrong might be incompetent, they do their job way better than she could ever multitask. Plus, she could ask if any of the faction leaders are really the Top God of their universe. Cosmos got her powers from Shinryu (really, the war between Order and Chaos was a way to power Shinryu and Chaos up, former as part of their deal and latter so that the two of them and Cid can return back to their home world), YHVH came from the real Great Will, Lucifer came after Him, not sure about Nekrom and Melkor, but you get the idea.

Hana@ In fandom art, she seems more associated with Morrison then anybody else. I also found some comics that depict them as bickering teammates. Also, I think there can be some interaction with Bumblebee in Popularity Intermediate Gods because of her B.Va skin and that both are consider the youngest in the team.
