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.

[up] Some mention of ascended Egyptian mythology deities is probably in order, and maybe Anakaris and Imhotep. Maybe even Kuphulu, seeing as he dresses Egyptian, but really isn't, and looks like a mummy but is really just an alien.

Could I get some suggestions for Francis here? He definitely needs some more lore and relationships.

Francis, God of Mature Animal Stories

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/francis_9.png
  • House: Narrative (Storytelling)
  • Theme Song: Felidae
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: His prominent green eyes
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: REALLY smart for a cat, a black cat who is the hero, beware the nice cat, a very snarky narrator
  • Allies: Bluestar, Bastet, Sakaki
  • Odd Friendship: Basil and Dawson
  • High Priest: Fritz
  • For a while, it was a matter of debate as to whether Francis or Fritz should ascend as the god of adult-oriented, animal-centered storytelling. In the end, Francis won out over Fritz. Despite this, however, Fritz wasn't left entirely in the dark, as he would eventually become Francis' High Priest.
    • Occasionally, though, Fritz still expresses bitterness over the whole situation. There are times where he insists that the title should have gone to him, and that Francis should have been his High Priest instead.
  • Bastet, excited to see another feline ascend, welcomed Francis to the Pantheon with open arms. Francis' former owner, Gus, studied in archaeology and specialized in ancient Egyptian gods, so he was very interested in meeting her. They've definitely kept in touch with each other since their first meeting, and Bastet has admitted her disappointment that Francis couldn't be a member of the House of Felines. As far as she's concerned, though, Francis is an honorary member.
  • Perhaps Francis' closest friend in the Pantheon is Bluestar. Though he's never stated it, many deities think it's obvious that Bluestar reminds Francis of his deceased friend, Felicity, and that had a major part in how close they've become. Sometimes Francis wonders what his Warrior name would be.
  • Sakaki, being the cat lover that she is, can very often be seen feeding Francis or petting him. Francis, of course, very much enjoys this treatment.
  • Even though Francis has promised on many occasions that he would not harm them, many rodent deities of the Pantheon are still wary of him. This is because Francis, being a cat, has hunted and killed many rats and mice prior to his ascension. Despite this, Francis has still managed to become fairly good friends with Basil and Dawson, seeing as they are both animals who solve mysteries.

Standard repost of Prometheus

Prometheus, The Titan Who Was Chained to a Rock (Bringer of Fire, Titan of Forefought, Creator of Mankind)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1_prometheus_carrying_fire_jan_cossiers.jpg
Prometheus stealing fire from the gods
  • Votes: 2(fasoman1996, Donnietu)
  • Date of ascension: 24 October(repost 21 October)
  • House: Crime
  • Greater God
  • Symbol: Stolen fire
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Our Titans Are Different, Immortality, Gave Mankind Fire And Suffered For Centuries Because Of It, Chained by Fashion, Chained to a Rock For Stealing Fire From The Gods, Has Christ-Like AND Lucifer-Like Qualities, Meaningful Name, Heroic Sacrifice
  • Domains: Fire, Immortality, Imprisonment, Defiance, Humanity
  • Allies: Hercules (for releasing him), Ganesha, Lucifer, Futaba Sakura and the Phantom Thieves, Alexstrasza, Hestia, Firestorm, Alcor
  • On good terms with: The Houses of Craft, Science, Knowledge and Fire And Electricity
  • On speaking terms with: Zeus (former enemy and jailer) and the other Greek deities, Kratos, Ragnaros the Firelord
  • Enemies: SCP-953, Merged Zamasu, YHVH, Yaldabaoth , The Divine Powers, AM, Brand
  • Opposed by: Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase
  • Fears: Any deity related to eagles, The Truth
  • Pities: Imhotep, Victor Frankenstein
  • Prometheus was one of the four children of the titan Iapetus, being known as the Titan of forefought. Neutral in the titanomachy and given the instructions to help craft man out of clay, he sought to better their lives even against Zeus' rules. This put the two in conflict, and in one great act of defiance gave man the tool of fire that he stole from the heavens. Enraged at this slight, Zeus condemned the titan to an eternity of being chained to a rock, where an eagle would peck out his liver for all eternity. At least until he eventually felt mercy, and had Hercules release him centuries later.
  • While most Greek gods and their family have a nasty streak, Prometheus is a champion of humanity. One of the reasons Zeus had it out for him is because he helped make mankind before him and got jealous at that. Often seen as a symbol of knowledge and the sciences, he is welcome in both homes, and Craft for his achievements.
  • While he has a lost of messianic elements, his position as a rebel to the divine order makes him a Lucifer-like figure. Though disinterested in most versions of the Devil, he does get along with the one from Shin Megami Tensei for being a champion of humans and free will like himself. That's not to say he agrees with Lucifer's more extreme acts of rebellion and chaos, but there is a lot of respect for the Fallen Angel. The respect is mutual, as Lucifer was impressed by him helping humans to trick the gods like the Trick at Mecone when it came to animal sacrifices.
  • Initially neutral in the conflict of the titans and Cronus' children, but in their conflict he sided with Cronus for some reason and gained the enmity of Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. While a case of Adaptational Villainy, he was mainly doing it because he had a bone to pick with the Olympians for his horrific punishment. There might have been a larger scheme at work, and he was still one of the nicer titans.
  • Serves as the Ultimate Persona to Futaba Sakura. He pities her feelings of isolation, and admires what she's accomplished with her use of technology and the sciences. In general Prometheus is a friend of the Phantom Thieves of Heart since they fight against Yaldabaoth, a being who wants to rob mankind's freedom to think and rule for themselves for themselves. He hates YHVH for similar reasons. Maya Amano recognizes him as the Persona of her ally Baofu
  • Merged Zamasu hates, hates, HATES him. Believing mortals are wicked for misusing the knowledge of the gods, he blames Prometheus for allowing them the knowledge in the first place and even helping to create them. Prometheus responded that while it's true man has misused divine information, they are capable of great things and that Zamasu is worse than ANY mortal he has come across. The Mad God lost it and carved Prometheus in half, swearing he would inflict on him a fate far worse than what Zeus inflicted on him for his "ultimate sin", though he was rescued before Zamasu could inflict this fate.
  • Asides from YHVH and Zamasu, he disapproves heavily of the Divine Powers for their devaluing of human life while believing they are doing the right thing. As a Titan he's an old god of sorts, but wants nothing to do with their organization.
  • Friendly with fellow deity Ganesha for being a source of wisdom and knowledge of mankind. Ganesh feels really bad for his ordeal, however told him not to worry as Zeus has released him from that fate. He's on speaking terms with the Greek pantheon...with the exception of the time they got infected by the evils of Pandora's Box (which was made by Zeus to spite him) and locked him up again. Kratos killed him, but he doesn't have any hard feelings towards him since it was a Mercy Kill. Plus he understands what it's like for Zeus to screw you over.
  • Understandably terrified of eagles, actively avoiding any deity related to them. Or Truth, given his punishments to beings considered to abuse knowledge like human transmutation. Not that the Truth cares much what Prometheus does. Or fates worse than death, leading him to hate AM. And he really hates SCP-953 due to a mix of her extreme sadism and fondness for livers, while she seems him as an ever-lasting supply of livers to eat.
  • Is extremely sympathetic towards Imhotep for his horrific punishment. He initially believed that his own fate was the worst, but his entombment and The Punishment makes his own Fate Worse than Death seem pleasant by comparison. To a lesser extent he pities Victor Frankenstein's failed attempt at playing god and creating a new kind of human.
  • Gave fire to humanity, for all the good and ill that it entails. As such he's well-respected by the fire half of the House of Fire And Electricity, particularly Alexstrasza. Him and Hestia are friendly since they're two of the few members in the Greek pantheon who don't seem to have any jerk deity traits. He also respects Firestorm for his mastery of flame and transmutation. However he considers Brand a lunatic and a disgrace to fire. Ragnaros seems to respect him quite a lot, but given his personality Prometheus keeps his distance.

Now that Khorne and Nurgle have been reworked, any reason not to remove their group profile? It's a shorehorn of a a trope used elsewhere and anything worth keeping in it can be moved to the Warp.

Thanks for the votes, Prometheus is up

Would Typhon fit Our Monsters Are Weird or Sealed Evil in a Can? Or is there another trope he'd fit?

[up] I'd say Our Monsters Are Weird since Real Life mythological beings tend to naturalness (due to their varying portrayals averaging out).

Now that the Trio of Endless Hatred is restored to three, I'd say it's time to post the reworked houses for Hatred. Any objection?

I wouldn't go for a Classical Mythology character for Our Monsters Are Weird. There are definitely stronger examples

Also, Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff have what looks like an overly short profile. So...cut?

In his first appearance in Marvel Super Heroes, the devs mistakenly made Shuma-Gorath's default colour Pink instead of Green. You could say this avatar of his was different from the past ones.

Also very popular in Japan. And not because of that

[up] Yeah it's not a good looking profile. I would delete it.

@Ronnie: Mine? Unfortunately, that part of her name has NOT been revealed in the show. And even when her family members appeared, at the end credits, their surnames are even ommitted with __________'s. Crazy, right?

@Clovis: wow!! surprised How were you able to adopt a profile from r-lock?!

Mesoamerican and Philipines come to mind if you want weird monsters. And yeah, the second is reserved.

All my fault, you say...? What fault? I daresay it's all thanks to me.

I'm gonna look into Deep South for Cindy Aurum, due to the Southern accent she has.

[down]x4, x5, x6, x7: I didn't say anything about reserving. Just looking into it, try and get a feel for it. If it didn't work, then I'll either find another trope or abandoned the idea entirely. And since most of the good tropes are taken...

@Shuma-Gorath: Allied with Havik, as a fellow lover of Chaos. Enemies with Hotaru, Gill and Kolin, due to their positions on order.

I'm done with Guy and Maki.

@Clovis: Lucky you. They've turned down my offers to rework V or Bambi, even having me wait for him to finish the latter's rework before I can begin to put my take on it.

Time for Muriel to ascend. Any final comments?
