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.

On second thought (sorry for the double but an edit might be missed) my Ley Line character won't be ready for a long time, so just go ahead, and if it doesn't work out I'll just take it back later.

Jor-El, as depicted in Man of Steel

The Vashta Nerada, Divine Swarm of Deadly Darkness (Piranhas of the Air, "The Shadows that melt the flesh")

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s4_08_wal_15.jpg
The Vashta Nerada, "wearing" a corpse
  • Votes: 2
  • Date of ascension: 31 October(repost 25 and 28 October)
  • House: Light and Darkness (House of Nature)
  • Rank: Quasideities individually(can affect Lesser Deities)
  • Symbol: A second shadow
  • Theme Song: Forests of the Vashta Nerada
  • Alignment: True Neutral (just don't piss them off)
  • Portfolio: Darkness Equals Death, Stripped to the Bone, Swarms, It Can Think, Shadows, Fear Of The Dark, The Worm That Walks, Paranoia Fuel
  • Domains: Predation, Darkness, Paranoia, Fear
  • Followers: the Grue
  • Allies: Trevenant, the Lorax, Captain Planet, Balanar, Pitch Black, Jackie Estacado, Freddy Fazbear
  • On good terms with: The House of Plants
  • Rivals with: The Tyranids, The Wig-Wigs, Gluttony
  • On speaking terms with: The Doctor
  • Enemies: Anyone who harms their forest, particularly Mr Burns, Looten Plunder, Ragnaros the Firelord and Hexxus. Also Bright Man
  • Almost every species in the universe has an irrational fear of the dark. But it's not irrational-it's Vashta Nerada. These alien predators are microscopic, mistaken for the dust in sunlight. But in swarms, they are deadly. Feeding in the shadows, they can strip you to the bone in seconds. Unexplained disappearances of animals and even people can be explained by them. Reports of them were found in the Trope Pantheon, and in order to control them they were put under the rules that all gods have to follow. That, and they've earned their title.
  • There was a minor infestation of Vashta Nerada in the House of Knowledge, which caused some trouble. They've stopped causing issues now that they have their own temple and position as gods. But if you end up getting lost in their temple, run. For God's sake, run.
  • They are a truly terrifying organism, however they aren't malicious. Normally they're like any predator, and aren't going to just chow down on people. However if they're rightly angered, they'll strip you to the bone. This was the case on The Library, a planet-sized library where they'd eat anyone in the darkness. Their forests were sifted and pulped into the many books there, however the Doctor managed to find peace and they were left alone. The Library now functions as their temple, however unless they permit it don't enter.
  • Given what they are, they find it near-impossible to communicate with other members of the pantheon. To fix this, a corpse donated for science was given to them in a suit. They are capable of piloting it and use the donation as a means of speaking with other gods. As you can imagine, this just adds to their creep factor. Whenever they're "piloting" a body or about to eat someone, there will be a second shadow.
  • The one house that has absolutely nothing to fear from the Vashta Nerada is the House of Plants. They dwell in forests, and they're meat eaters so it's comforting there. Trevenant has been especially kind in serving as a host to them, so long as they promise not to touch anything with flesh in his temple. The House of Plants usually employs swarms of them to fend off those who might try to destroy or pollute the forests, such as Mr Burns and Hexxus.
  • They like the Lorax and Captain Planet. Having their forests taken down for massive library(when they could have just used futuristic computer libraries), they benefit from a good Green Aesop. That being said the Lorax and Captain Planet are creeped out by them and think they go too far, so the swarm has to behave around them.
  • So long as it's meat, a swarm of the Vashta Nerada can eat just about anything. Its hungering way makes it a rival to the Tyranids and Wig-Wigs for who's better at devouring life like an armada of locusts. Sometimes they compete with Gluttony over meat, which often ends with hordes of them being swallowed by Gluttony while he gets eaten alive over and over, regenerating from his Philosopher's Stone. Pride is interested in having them work in tandem with his shadows, but they don't seem interested.
  • Balanar likes them a lot, as do Pitch Black; they make the dark and night a thing to fear. To help out their causes they shelter the Vashta Nerada, and give them some delicious food.
  • They live in darkness, and as such the more light the weaker they are. Most gods make sure to have powerful lights in the presence of the Vashta Nerada. For this reason they dislike Bright Man. As Freddy Fazbear attacks in the dark, the Vashta Nerada sometimes help him out. Hey, he gets rid of "evil adults" and they don't chow on machines, while they get a free meal and some pizza.

  • Allies: Bahamut, Suzaku Kururugi, Altaria, Yukari Takeba
  • Enemies: Tiamat, Bowser, Smaug, Deathwing, Al'Akir the Windlord, The White, Harbinger
  • Friendly Enemies: The Monster Hunters
  • Ventuswill used to be stern and inwardly depressed over the Heroic Sacrifice of four of her friends, but a hero revived them and convinced her not to mope over the deaths of humans around her, but to enjoy the company of villagers while they lived. She has ascended to convince others to stop dwelling upon their own tragedies, but to find joy in life, no matter how long, wherever they can.
  • She has taken it upon herself to relieve Suzaku's guilt over not being able to die, and the two have developed and odd friendship.
  • She often banters with Altaria, who she feels string kinship with over both being air dragons. The two are often found in the House of Food scarfing down pancakes.
  • Finds a kindred spirit in Yukari Takeba, as she too had never been able to say goodbye to friends. Although Ventuswill got her old friends back eventually, she still feels the pain of loss that stuck with her for hundreds of years.
  • When the Monster Hunters found her, they mistook her for just another monster and attacked her. It seemed like they were winning, until she transformed into her ultimate form and defeated them easily in her pocket dimension. They ironed out the misunderstanding afterwards, as Ventuswill is extremely forgiving, and often spar in their spare time.
  • Ventuswill is rarely angry, but is furious at Bowser and Smaug for giving dragons such a bad image, as anti-dragon prejudice is what allowed the Sechs Empire to rise to power and almost take over her world.
  • Deathwing seems to be the polar opposite of Ventuswill, since she is a wind dragon who gives life, and he is an earth dragon who brings death and destruction. She is trying to organize wind and life-associated deities to oppose him, but due to his superior power, he does not see her as a threat.
  • Al'Akir the Windlord has claimed Ventuswill is obligated to serve him as the master of wind. She disagrees, and his alliance with Deathwing ensures their emnity
  • The White view her as one of the greatest threats to their agenda, as she seems to have overcome the sadness and despair of eternity, and she inspires their enemies to never give in to despair.
  • Having had bad experiences with Villain Override, Ventuswill opposes Harbinger, the representation of it, and is merely thankful Ethelberd is not in the Pantheon.

Mikado Ryugamine, The God Who Was Connected All Along (Taro Tanaka, Leader of the Dollars, Leader of the Blue Squares)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mikado.jpg
  • House: Character Roles
  • Rank: Demigod
  • Symbol: The Dollars logo
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, but occasionally Neutral Good or Lawful Evil
  • Portfolio: Badass Bookworm, Manipulative Bastard, occasionally a Guile Hero, I Just Want to Be Special, Awesome Mc Cool Name in Japanese,
  • Domains: Computers, secret groups, friends, betrayal, control
  • Followers: Masaomi Kida, Anri Sonohara, Aoba, The Dollars
  • Allies: Celty Sturlson, Shizuo Heiwajima, Lelouch vi Britannia, Bahamut, King Dedede, Sonic, any other members of the new Dollars
  • Enemies: Izaya Orihara, L, Light Yagami, Big Brother
  • Pitied by: Batman
  • A little while after Mikado ascended, he was jumped by some goons hoping to rob him, assuming he would be an easy mark. He ran around a corner, and when they pursued him, they ran into Dedede and Sonic, who had been nearby when Mikado sent out a distress call. Cue Curb-Stomp Battle.
  • Since his ascension, Mikado has started a new branch of the Dollars, but is screening applicants a bit more carefully this time, with Lelouch, one of the first members, geassing them into never revealing the password. There are no rules, but members generally help each other out, and Lelouch represents the entire organization in the Council of Shadows, feeding some information to the rest.
  • Shizuo declined to join the Dollars this time, but said he would see how it panned out and possibly reconsider. Celty joined immediately.
  • When Bahamut heard that "The Emperor of the Dragon Peak" had ascended, he went to meet him, and although he was put off that Mikado was an ordinary human, he respects Mikado's courage and wisdom relative to his age and species, and has sworn to come to the aid of the Dollars if he is ever needed.
  • Mikado often visits the House of Mentalism, especially the Trickery section, due to his mind games and hiding his leadership of the dollars for so long.
  • Although he could contend with Greater gods in a covert or long-term conflict, he prefers to be classified as a Demigod in order to remain incognito.
  • No one dares to cross him over legal and contractual matters.
  • Izaya is furious that Mikado already has more influence and information than him, but Shizuo is keeping an eye out in case he tries anything.
  • Dedede, not being very good at secret-keeping, revealed knowledge that could only be obtained from inside the Council of Shadows, as well as the fact that he is part of the Dollars. L and Light, concerned about an organization more secret and pervasive than the Council, are working together for once to figure out who is the leader of the Dollars, not knowing it's an "ordinary" high school student, and Light plans to write down his name as soon as he figures it out...
  • Big Brother does not want a group to exist with no physical ties or evidence that can communicate and work together effectively, so he is seeking to destroy the Dollars.
  • Batman thinks Mikado is in way over his head, and has put L off track more than once since figuring out who led the Dollars. He is trying to get Mikado to settle down and give up, but he also wants to keep his knowledge of Mikado secret, so that he isn't taken advantage of.

My new plan is so secret that even I cannot understand its full scope!

BWAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

The Hunter, God of Lunge Attacks (Hoodie, Jumper, Crazy Legs, Leaper, Punk-ass, Pouncing one, Hoodie dude, Sweatshirt-wearing wuss, Scrawny little bitch)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hunter16.png
His Appearance in Left 4 Dead 2 
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: A Dark Hoodie
  • Theme Song: Hunter's Bacteria (After Spawning), Exenteration (After Poundign its Victim)
  • Aligment: Chaotic Evil
  • Portfolio: Bizarre Alien Senses, Doesn't have eyes because of the infection, Fragile Speedster, More dangerous if set on fire, Hoodie Infected, Apparent Parkour Skills, Personal Space Invader, The most sneaky infected until he prepares for an attack
  • Domains: Hoodies, Jumping, Lunging, Parkour, Infected
  • Allies: The Tank (Sort of), Albert Wesker, Alex Mercer
  • Enemies: The Green Flu Survivors and many other survivors from a Zombie Apocalypse, Spiderman, Ezio Auditore, The other Hunter, Link, The Scout, Rengar
  • Hunters are a special type of Green Flu infected that its mutation allows him to become more mobile and Highly dangerous. They usual mode of attack is lunging himseld directly into his prey, leaving it unable to escape from him if succesfully caught.
  • The Hunter likes to stalk and attack his prey from high positions, often jumping towards them and mauling them to death. The Court of Gods hasn't labelled him as a High threat, so they allow him to have free reign outside of his temple. He still can be dangerous but if you have someone besides you, it can be pretty easy to get rid of the hoodied infected.
  • Judging from his getup, it seems like the Hunter was into LeParkour when he was alive, explaining his proficiency with Jumping. This has made him quite a lot of enemies with those who practise said activity, as the Hunter often seem to bump into them fairly often.
  • Initially, many gods from the Resident Evil universe thought that the B.O.W, also known as The Hunter, had ascended. While they were glad that the Reptilian creature was nowhere to be found, they instantly learned that this Hunter can be as dangerous as said creature.
    • This would explain why Wesker has taken his time to study the Hunter more closely. The creature doesn't seem to be hostile towards him, so who knows what would happen if Wesker gets a sample of Green Flu or manages to weaponize the Hunter.
    • On the other hand, the other Hunter has stumbled upon the infected numerous times. For them, this Hunter is just another creature that they have to deal with, which they are pretty much already used to at this point.
  • Closer examination will determinate that the Hunter has no eyes and is actually blind, which raises the question as to why is he so effective at killing humans. Many will attribute this to his screaming to be some kind of echolocation, but other are not so sure.
    • Rei Miyamoto and Saeko Busujima have stated that the Hunter is earily similar to the zombies from their world, who rely on their hearing to attack the survivors. However, they have also said that the Hunter is much more dangerous, as he is able to track down their pray much more easily than the average infected.
  • Link has a really big dislike towards the hunter, as he remind Link of the ReDeads, who also like to pounce on their foes.
  • The attire of the hunter has been proved to be very popular among the community of his fans. So popular in fact, that the Scout made a costume based after the hunter, called Rooftop Rebel. Although the Hunter doesn't actually like that one bit.
  • Often compared to Alex Mercer given their shared inhuman nature and their shared use of Parkour abilities. However, while the hunter doesn't mind Alex's presence, the latter has adopted it like some sort of pet, since he sees no use in absorving it.
  • For some reason, he has a weird obssession with Medkits ever since his infection. He can be often be seen in the House of Health and Diseases trying to steal some of them. Nobody know why he wants them.

Okay so quite a while back I suggested giving Monster Knight to Ludwig from Bloodborne, but people weren't feeling it. Having thought about it some more I'd like to suggest Ludwig for another trope, namely And Then John Was a Zombie. It seems like a good fit, seeing as he was the most prominent hunter of beasts and a hero to the people of Yharnam, only to become infected and transform into the strongest, most hideous beast of them all.

Thoughts, anyone?

Jeffrey David Sinclair, God of Trans Nature (Commander of Babylon 5; Valen; The One Who Was)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sinclair_pantheon.png
Commander of Babylon 5
Click here  to see Valen, the One Who Was
  • Rank: Intermediate God
  • Symbol: The Symbol of the Rangers
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Ace Pilot, The Chosen One, Dork Knight, Survivor Guilt, Laser-Guided Amnesia, Military Brat, Rules Lawyer, Shell-Shocked Veteran, Stable Time Loop, Time Travel, The Captain, Alien Abduction, Human Who Became Minbari, Liberator From the Future
  • Domains: Time, Space Stations, Liberation
  • Heralds: Delenn, John Sheridan, Michael Garibaldi, Stephen Franklin, Marcus Cole, Londo Mollari, G'Kar, Zathras
  • Allies: Lorien, Ambassador Kosh, The Doctor, Trunks Briefs (Future), Clockwork, Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor, Susan Ivanova, Grand United Alliance Of Good
  • Enemies: Kang the Conqueror, Grand United Alliance Of Chaos, Grand United Alliance Of Destruction
  • Jeffrey Sinclair was brought into the Pantheon by the combined efforts of Lorien, Ambassador Kosh, finding his soul after it died nine hundred years in the past and bringing him to the present. Lorien told him that, if possible, they would bring others who have "Passed Beyond the Rim" into the Pantheon, which made Sinclair smile. He was looking forward to meeting old friends again.
  • He was quite pleased to see his former second, Susan Ivanova, in the Pantheon, though surprised to see that she ascended before anyone else.
  • The Doctor immediately struck up conversation with Sinclair, since Sinclair was one of those rare occasions of a benevolent time traveler whose going back into the past of his world and staying there was overall beneficial to the timeline, allowing for a better future to take place for his companions and allies. He also commented on Sinclair changing into Valen, which the Doctor likened to his own Regenerations.
  • He is directly opposed to the Grand United Alliance of Chaos, as the Alliance bears echoes of the reasons behind the Shadows staging continuous wars across the galaxy (one such war he went back in time to make sure the Army of Light won), and he knows too well how much that ideology costs people in the long run.
  • Sinclair is a veritable rules lawyer, as his lawyering of the Rush Act's terms on Babylon 5 - "using any means necessary" to quell a riot to divert millions of Credits from the military budget to the dock workers guild to hire new workers and get new equipment - proves. As he once said:
    "You should never hand someone a gun unless you're sure where they'll point it".
  • As Valen, he is a holy figure to the Minbari Castes, being the one who led them to victory against the Shadows a thousand years ago, and is known as "A Minbari Not Born of Minbari". As a Human who became Minbari, this is the cause for Minbari souls being born in Human bodies over the last thousand years. He was quite surprised to learn from Lorien that Delenn was actually one of his descendants.
    • Because he went back in time and became Minbari, it led to Minbari souls being reborn into Human bodies, effectively making his title have both a spiritual context for the Human race in his world, as well as an individual context for himself.
  • Kang the Conqueror hates Sinclair's altruistic nature, as the two are opposite counterparts to one another - Kang has always tried to conquer the past, whereas Sinclair went back in time to save the past.
