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 PokĂ©mon deities only:
    • Gender: Defines the gender of the PokĂ©mon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
    • Ability: Provides the PokĂ©mon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
    • Moves: Defines the four moves used by a PokĂ©mon. 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.

Ramona Flowers Has Joined Scott's Party As Player 2! New Title: Goddess of Being Not As Good As She Claims
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ramona_4.jpg
  • Potential House: Introvert Characterization
  • [tup] count: 3
  • Ascension date: July 24
  • Theme Song: Ramona
  • Rank: Lesser Goddess
  • New Symbol Unlocked: Her Hammerspace bag
  • Alignment Progress Bar: Chaotic Neutral trying for Neutral Good
  • Portfolio Inventory: Having a bag with Hammerspace, once having a "sexy phase" with her college roommate, being similar to Scott and becoming his girlfriend, Cheating on lovers at the same time for fun while criticizing Scott for lesser crimes yet still being a genuinely good person and sincerely loving Scott, using rollerblades for transportation
  • Domains Stats: Romance +8, Comic Books +6, Skaters +1, Mail +1, Cheaters +2
  • Joined Player 1's Party!: Scott Pilgrim (Title: Boyfriend)
  • Party Members:Travis Touchdown, Angel, Stitch, Mona, The Courier, Felix The Cat, Kiki, Philip J. Fry, Turanga Leela and the Special Lovers Squad
  • Caution!: Bender and Hubert G. Fransworth could cause trouble...
  • Rival Identified!: Amy Rose!
  • DANGER!: Gideon Graves and Raynare nearby!
  • Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. But that proverb doesn't stop people from doing just that and criticizing others while doing worse themselves. Ramona Flowers is the heroine of Scott Pilgrim's adventure, and prided herself of being his Foil and better than him.
    • The only problem? She could easily be considered worse than him in almost every regard. Scott spends a non-romantic night with another girl? She calls him out on it while along hanging out with and even kissing a ex boyfriend of hers. Scott starts dating her while dating another girl and realizing and going through with breaking up with his old girlfriend to pursue Ramona? She gets pissed at him even though she cheated on just about every single ex boyfriend she had. Just like with Scott, she has realized this at the end of her adventure and is trying for the better, and this has allowed her to ascend.
  • Her ascension occurred after her Death Battle with Amy Rose and her literally crushing defeat thanks to arcade cabinets. Scott was not pleased to hear of this and decided to try and get her ascended thanks to this, fearing that her death would be permanent. While he was eventually corrected about multiple facts, like that Death Battles often cause people to act out of character and that death isn't permament, Ramona still ascended and laughed at how greatly he overreacted. Didn't stop him from tightly hugging and kissing her cheeks and lips.
    • Despite the fight, she is generally on good terms with Amy Rose, and is interested in having a rematch after some training on her part.
  • Just like with Scott, she wasn't too pleased to hear that Gideon Graves has ascended, and that he has befriended another person like him by the name of Raynare. She was thankful that they also have gained a fair share of enemies and haters as well.
    • She has started bonding with Stitch and Angel, who both also oppose the two and the fact they are both very capable battle couples. They sometimes go out on double date nights which tends to end with battling in the house of Combat to see how much farther they can go before the other couple.
  • Even if their names sound similar and even have similar Deadpan Snarker personalities, Ramona is still good friends with Mona and by extension, her boyfriend, Plague Knight. They also aren't afraid to make the occasional playful snide comment to each other's boyfriend, their own boyfriend, and even to each other.
  • Given the similarities Travis has to Scott, she is capable of tolerating and even humoring him whenever she crosses paths with him. Also helps that he's trying to not cheat on his own girlfriend he has in his own universe, and that Ramona looks a bit too young for him, even if she is well over the legal age.
    Travis: I feel like a old man in a fucking porno!
  • Has become good allies with the Special Lovers Squad, even if she is sometimes treated with a cautious glare, but nothing that she isn't used to. She has joined the team in the second division.
  • As a delivery girl, she sometimes has to act like the mailwoman for the pantheon sometimes, but not that she really minds, seeing as it's not only her job, but her ability to access Subspace really cuts down on travel times, much to the surprise and awe of the house of Travel. As such, she has gained some allies from the Futurama deities, namely Philip J. Fry and Leela. Ramona is currently trying to learn how to use guns, being taught from Leela herself, while Scott and Fry are interested in the other's love story. She doesn't have that much respect for Fransworth for being a Bad Boss even by her standards and Bender for trying to hit on her despite insisting she already has a boyfriend, but will tolerate them for the time being.
    • The Courier is actually interested in her after hearing of this subspace, and has sent her a request as if she would allow him use of said subspaces to further his delivery process. Seeing him as a fellow delivery person, she granted his request and has become an ally to him.
      • While she is also on good terms with fellow delivery girl Kiki, there has been a debate between them whenever or not flying or the subspace highway was the best way to deliver mail. There have since been plans for a pantheon wide race to help settle this dispute.
  • One wouldn't pick it up if you look at her, but she is actually as avid of a gamer as Scott is to the point that they spent their time away from each other depressed while playing video games. As such, they can often be seen within the house of Gaming brushing up their skills and challenging others. That said, they sometimes have to pay for any thrown controllers that they break in frustration.
  • Has a Bag of Holding which can seemingly hold a infinite amount of objects. She is currently chatting with Felix the Cat to see if she can transform her bag into other things like Felix can do with his own bag.

Thanks to faso's [tup], three very rich cats somehow end up in the Pantheon after the end of their hijinks. Sora and Shiro will be reposted on July 26.

@Perry (Even though the profile has not yet been posted on this page): His other enemies would likely be ones whose schemes would directly affect his owners and Doof. They don't really seem to have made any in the Pantheon, though I did put down how XANA desires to destroy/brainwash them in his schemes and how Count Olaf tried poisoning Doofenshmirtz with the Medusoid Mycelium.

Repost Sophie and 2nd version of Ostara:

Zofia Zawistowski, The Goddess Who Made The Sadistic Choice (Sophie)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ec60f6ea4e6ff8af40fec55b130a7222_merryl_streep_oscar_academy_awards.jpg
  • Potential House: Heroic Action
  • Signature Song: "Love Theme"
  • Symbol: Her concentrated prisoner suit
  • Quasideity
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Domain: Parents, Love, World War II
  • Portfolio: Chose which of her children to die, got taken to Auschwitz for stealing a ham, got caught in a Love Triangle, Driven to Suicide
  • Allies: Many Jewish deities in the Pantheon
  • Enemies: Any Nazi in the Pantheon, Medea, Eric Cartman, Magneto
  • Pitied by: Many good parents in the Pantheon, Peggy Carter, Steve Rogers / Captain America, veterans of World War II
  • Pities: Liane Cartman
  • Complicated Relationship with: Shylock,
  • The mother who was faced with an incredibly painful choice of deciding which of her child to die in the concentration camp, Sophie was ascended after her suicide because the gods heard about her painful choice and how influential it is to the cinematic world.
    • After her ascension, Sophie fell to her knee crying when her request to see her children alive again is denied because the Court of the God argue that bringing them back would deny the purpose of her ascension in the first place. Let's just say that day the entire Pantheon got a little sadder.
  • Her difficult decision to choose which kids to live made her a VERY sympathetic figure to many parents in the Pantheon. Even the evil / more neutral ones who love their kid also feels sorry for her situation.
    • For her reputation, Sophie has turned her temple into a place where parents lost their kids to share their story.
  • Despises Medea with a passion due to the fact that the woman WILLINGLY off her kids.
  • Being married to a Jew and a victim of the Holocaust, Sophie has good relationship with many Jewish deities while despises any Nazi in the Pantheon. While only a civilian, her temple is always welcomed to any Jew and any Nazi dare to come close to it will receive a dose of cyanide in their food.
    • However, Shylock has a mixed reception of her despite being a Jew himself due to the fact that Sophie being Catholic married a Jew reminds him too much of his daughter Jessica's marriage to his enemy.
    • Eric Cartman usually goes to her temple and harass her for her marriage with a Jew. This led Sophie to hate his gut and feels sorry for his mother.
  • While sympathizes with Magneto for being a survivor of World War II, Sophie cannot bring herself to be friend with someone who is so careless about his children and draft them into his terrorist group.
  • Veterans of World War II feel sorry for Sophie as being one of the many victims of the war. Captain America and Peggy Carter especially sympathetic with her since they both lost important people during the war.

Ostara, Victim Of Shoehorned Christianity (Easter, Ēostre, Ēastre, Austrō, Ostara of the Dawn)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ostara_by_johannes_gehrts.jpg
Drawing by Johannes Gehrts
Ostara in American Gods 
  • Potential House: Faith
  • Symbol: A rabbit and an egg
  • Intermediate Goddess
  • Alignment: True Neutral for her American Gods version
  • Followers: Many, many, many deities from different pantheons.
  • High Priest: Many versions of Santa Claus
  • Domain: Spring, Dawn, Celebration, Fertility, Plant, Life and Death
  • Portfolio: Fertile Feet, Cue the Sun, Hijacked by Jesus, Love Goddess
  • Allies: The Norse Pantheon, but especially Odin, Hades, Tinker Bell, all rabbit deities in the Pantheon especially the Killer Rabbit, the House of Life and Death, the House of Plants, Nicholas Saint North, Elphaba Thropp
  • Enemies: The House of Technology, Maleficent, YHVH, the other Hades, the Wicked Witch of the West
  • Opposes: Any Christian-related deities in the Pantheon, especially the All-Mighty, Chernabog, Ares, The Divine Power
  • Opposed by: King Arthur Pendragon, Sir Lancelot, Arturia Pendragon
  • Complicated Relationship with: The House of Health And Diseases, the House of Ruin And Destruction
  • The goddess whose celebration was co-opted to be a Christian holiday, Ostara was selected to represent victims of shoehorned Christianity because her symbols and celebration practices (namely, the Easter bunnies and the Easter eggs) are still VERY popular and is frequently used to represent the holiday.
    • She narrowly beats out Santa Claus for the position when Ostara herself points out that there is a version of her that represent the temple in all of its implication as well as points out that the current popular version of Santa Claus is based a Christian saint.
  • Because of her position, she is NOT on the best term of any and all Christian-related deities. They agree to just avoid each other as much as possible.
    • With that said, she absolutely despises YHVH for actively shoehorn Christianity into other religion and his obsession for control.
    • On the other hand, while she sympathizes with the Divine Power for their situation and hatred against YHVH, she doesn't like their extreme method and their disdain for human.
  • Is incredibly happy that she met her fellow Norse gods in the Pantheon, especially Odin since he is much nicer here than his American Gods counterpart.
    • On the other hand, she avoids contact with Chernabog, citing that this portrayal is too different from the god she knew, as well as the fact that she thinks his "celebration" is a little bit over-the-top for her taste.
  • Has a VERY complicated relationship with both the House of Health and Diseases and the House of Ruin and Destruction. On one hand, Ostara is a fertility goddess and symbolizes spring and the harvest. On the other hand, her American Gods counterpart's action of taking away spring through killing off plant life in America made her controversial in the former and admired in the latter.
    • However, this duality and her Neutral alignment has made her a frequent visitor the House of Plants and the House of Life and Death.
  • Despite beating out Santa Claus for the position, she is good friend with the Guardian version of Santa since the latter is amused when visiting other versions of Santa Claus at her temple.
  • As the goddess whose sacred animals and symbol of celebration is a rabbit, she is a protector of any and all rabbit deities in the Pantheon. One of them, the Killer Rabbit, is now employed as her temple bodyguard, which has not endear her with King Arthur and his knights as well as Artoria.
  • Is on good term with the Disney/Smite version of Hades since both of them are victims of the same treatment. The fact that he is villified despite being one of the nicest one in Greek mythology only made Ostara angrier.
    • On the other hand, she hates the other Hades when the latter mocks her for choosing such a cutesy animal such as rabbit as a symbol. Ostara promptly shuts him up when she kills off plant life surrounding him and sic the Killer Rabbit out.
    • While she sympathizes with Ares for having been a victim of the same treatment, his original function of representing chaotic war leaves a bad taste in Ostara and she promptly cuts off all connection with him when learning this.te
  • Is VERY suspicious of the House of Technology due to the fact that her American Gods versions's experience with the New Gods representing globalization, media and technology.
  • Is a good friend with Tinker Bell since she is the symbol of spring and sexuality as well as the fact that she shares the same voice with one of her best friend Rosetta.
  • Elphaba almost falls to her knee when heard that her friend Glinda has ascended to the Pantheon due to her similar apperance to Ostara. While disappointed that isn't the case when meeting Ostara, the two becomes friends over their experience of being misunderstood.
    • The Wicked Witch of the West when heard that her nemesis Glinda ascended went crazy and immediately attacks Ostara's temple. The two of them engages in a battle that last for days until the other deities interfere. The two have been on bad terms ever since. The same thing happens with Maleficent because Ostara looks like a version of her.

Holy Grail (Holy Chalice, Sangreal)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2117.jpeg
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio:
  • Domain: Religious, Adventure, Power
  • A mystic artifact, the Holy Grail was sought after by King Arthur and his Round Table and obtained by Sir Galahad. The Grail was center at the Round Table and gave out a spicy fragrance.
  • Like any legendary objects, The Grail posess powers. What they are varies. It can either bring happiness to people or provide a unlimited bounty. But maybe it's most impressive feat is that it can give those who drink out of it either their youth or immortality.
  • Often associated with the Lord's Son. It was either drank from during the Last Supper or was use to gather his blood. But this is a disputed claim.
  • Despite what others may think, the Grail doesn't grant any wishes. Well maybe. But what others may think is a wish granting Grail isn't the true Holy Grail but a artificial one use for a war amonst heroes. They may also confuse it for Dundry which does grant wishes. A mistake that YHVH and his Angels made. Even still others have made attempts on the Grail like Sora Takigawa who wants to be Human again. And Fafnir who wants it just because
    • At least one rumor was spread that the Cup was hidden away in the Castle of Aughhhh but that only those who are valiant and pure of spirit would be able to find it. It cause quite a stir as nobody could find the Castle of Aughhhh. Some even tried to find the Castle of Ughhh or Oghhh, thinking it was a misspelling.
  • May often take the appearance of an ordinary carpenter's cup to hide from those seeking it. There's also a good chance there be multiple similar looking cups litter around. And who ever picks the wrong cup would meet a nasty fate.

Holy Lance (Spear of Longinus, Spear of Destiny, True Longinus, The Holy Spear of the Setting Sun)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_3231.jpeg
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Spear, Legendary Weapon, Public Domain Artifact
  • Domain: Weapon, Holy, Religious
  • The spear that pierced the Son of God, the Holy Lance radiates immense holy powers thanks to being soak in Divine blood.
  • What powers the Lance possess tends to varies. Some say it can cause unhealing wounds. Other think it can actually heal others. It can also be use to open other worlds. But maybe it's most destructive power is its ability to end the world.
  • Has no connection to the other Spear of Longinus. Though, some does wonder what would happen if the two items were combine.
  • Only the spear part of the Lance is actually in the Treasury.
  • A constant target of any Nazi soldier who covets its immense power to rule over others. Rumor has it that Hitler once possess it and was the reason why the Golden Age of DC superheroes never enter WW II.
  • While pretty obviously the Lance can harm demons and other darkly fiends, it can also kill those of divine traits like Gods. Many True Gods have taken a wide birth around the Lance.
  • Seems like Kratos once held the Lance, or more precise a Spear of Destiny. There's a good chance it wasn't the True Longinus as it was before Christ was born.
  • Copies of Holy Lance are known to appear around the Pantheon. While they aren't as powerful as the true deal, they are still powerful weapons.
  • Was use by Nyarlathotep as a gambit to trigger the end of the world by spreading rumors of its unhealing wounds property and to use it on Maya Amano. This version was also able to seal Personas. Many have wonder if it can effect other Guardian Entity users.
  • Currently the blade's head is being use as part of Jeanne d'Arc's banner. Turns out, the Spear was given to her by YHVH for some nefarious plan.

A couple of ideas for the factions section in the Pantheon.

  • In the Character, God of X title line for characters in things like the Pantheon Wrestling Federation or the GUA factions, it would probably be a good idea to change the link on each character's name from their work page to their Pantheon house/sub-house. It helps find where the character is in the Pantheon, and may help identify whether they're still there or if anything has changed with their main entry that would be worth mentioning within their secondary entry.
  • Epsilon and Harpuia are forming a unit for the cause of maximizing the potential of Reploids, with Green Biker Dude being recruited and Ciel and the Maverick Hunters being allied, and Repliforce has got support for their "Robot Republic" agenda from the likes of Bender and Bass. Epsilon and Repliforce are also friendly with each other, and neither group would ever join the GUAM, since it's an authoritarian machine-supremacist coalition with no respect for freedom and Sigma is involved. So here's my question: aside from figuring out what each unit would be called, should they be listed separately under the Groups page, or should they have a Factions page or sub-page of their own?

So, I noticed that we still have Grandfather Paradox, despite the fact all three of his tropes have been taken by others.

Alongside considering his bareboned profile, anyone mind if we delete him?
