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.

I see, you do make a good point that the Scourge is not all entirely frozen. I did consider Cavalry of the Dead or even The Undead but i'm not really sure.

Fearless Undead might be a decent alternative as well.

I'm afraid you mistook about Cavalry of the Dead. It was more like a person, living or not, makes a summon session for the undead horde, mostly for making a last-minute Big Damn Heroes and then go fight the enemy (It's actually a 'good counterpart' for The Undead or The Necromancer). I don't think Scourge works that way... And meanwhile, Nagash the Undying has taken The Undead.

The trope page for Fearless Undead just said 'Played Straight' for The Scourge. Can you expand that?

@Clovis: I'd say pair Gunray up with Watto as co-Gods of Space Jews, since the character of Watto has raised concerns over how he is too similar to a very common anti-semitic stereotype (hooked nose, yiddish accent, greedy, etc)

Also what about my proposals on the previous page? Any thoughts on them?

I'm also throwing in Millenniumon because it's even more obviously based on Y2K and the original profile already referred to it a lot anyway. So I added stuff, made adjustments and I think this might be ready.

Millenniumon and Diaboromon, Embodiments of the Y2K Virus (MoonMillenniumon, ZeedMillenniumon) (Diablomon, Kuramon, Tsumemon, Keramon, Chrysalimon, Infermon, Armagemon)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Millenniumon_8542.jpg
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Diaboromon_777.jpg
  • House: A.I. Personalities
  • Overdeity (Millenniumon), Greater God (Diaboromon, but Overdeity as Armagemon)
  • Symbol: The two heads of ZeedMillenniumon; Diaboromon's head with the word "Hello" repeating in the background over and over again
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Portfolio: Personifications of the Year 2000 problem
  • Allies: Omega, Ultron, Love Machine, Enter, the White, Majin Buu
  • Enemies: Omnimon, Dukemon, Beelzemon, Wizardmon, Koichi Kimura, Lan Hikari, good and neutral members the House of Technology, EVERY Digidestined
  • Kid with the Leash: Radical Ed (Millenniumon)
  • Probably the most frighteningly destructive Digimon ever conceived, Millenniumon was born as something of a last hurrah by Dark Master Mugendramon after being defeated by the eight first Digidestined and fusing with a Chimeramon (possibly the same one defeated by Raidramon three years later through some space-time continuum defying shenanigans). It's responsible for many events affecting the Digi-multiverse, such as starting Ken Ichijoji on the path of darkness using its Dark Spores and stranding Ryo Akiyama in the Tamers universe. Despite being so overreaching, it seems to have no real desire beyond complete chaos and destruction, which combined with its overwhelming power, makes it an extremely dangerous threat to both the Digital and Real World.
    • The House of Technology, deciding that Millenniumon is too dangerous to be allowed to run around free, entreated its members to find a way to restrain Millenniumon. As a result, Millenniumon became trapped in an encrypted file of Radical Ed's making. After some time in that state, with Ed communicating with the monster out of curiosity and occasionally using it to unleash some controlled chaos, which caused them to develop a twisted sort of bond, she received a Digivice that pegged her as its Tamer. Millenniumon was disbelieving that anyone would dare to be its Tamer at first, but, perhaps as a result of Ed's personality, it has slowly become Yandere for her. This has made Diaboromon and its allies' attempts to free it particularly difficult.
  • Ironically, through Chimeramon, Millenniumon has the DNA of both the Agumon and Gabumon lines. It never misses a chance of taunting Omnimon about this fact and its possible hidden meanings, which predictably leaves the knight very incensed.
  • Sometimes Millenniumon likes to fake out those who'd challenge it by appearing in its Mugendramon or Chimeramon forms, only for, upon "defeat", causing the challenger to despair with the revelation that it's only begun.
  • The White, ever the fans of Omnicidal Maniacs, are crossing their fingers that Millenniumon will someday be free and be back to its primal state of annihilating everything alongside Diaboromon, which they'd welcome with absolute joy.
  • While the Diaboromon line has served as enemies for the many Digidestined over the years, this one in particular, created by Millenniumon, would go on to become one of the most feared and dangerous of their foes. Twice it came close to destroying the physical world, first by targeting their city with nuclear missiles and later by Digivolving into its most powerful form, Armagemon. Even now, it still seeks the utter destruction of both the Digital and Real Worlds.
    • Unlike Millenniumon, Diaboromon escaped containment by the House of Technology (not that they're still not trying, but Diaboromon's very slippery) and still runs free.
  • Diaboromon assumes a servile position in relation to Millenniumon on account of its lesser power, but this works out just fine for the both of them since they have the exact same goals. It's to the point where the relationship might be a Villainous Friendship.
  • Sharing the ravenous hunger that its previous Digivolutions had, Diaboromon will devour every bit of data it sees, destroying countless programs and endangering any gods that share the same nature. He'll retreat after receiving enough damage, but once he heals up, he'll get right back to chowing down.
  • No matter how weak or powerful Diaboromon's enemies are, it will NEVER underestimate them and will do whatever it takes to bring them down. Are they in the middle of their power-up? Blast them while they can't move. Outnumbered? Spawn a million copies and attack from all sides. Are the humans remaining a nuisance? Launch a nuke right at them.
  • While usually confined to cyberspace, Diaboromon has tried to manifest within the physical realm in the past. His most notable attempt involved releasing millions of Kuramon into the physical world, gathering them all in one place to provide enough data to Digivolve into Armagemon, a six-legged abomination with more than enough power to bring about its namesake. Neither Omnimon nor Imperialdramon could stop the beast and it was only when the former gave his power to the latter, boosting him to Paladin Mode, that Diaboromon was finally slain in its realm for good. While such an attempt would not go unnoticed within the Pantheon, the Virus Digimon, if anything, is cunning and content to bide its time.
  • If Diaboromon does manage to have its form destroyed, Millenniumon will take the remaining data and reform it into a DigiEgg, reborn at the beginning of the line as a Kuramon. Millenniumon? There's no destroying Millenniumon. Thank Chronos for the Radical Ed containment measure.
    • When endangered in his Rookie Level form as Keramon, Diaboromon loves to trip up his attackers by completely skipping his Champion form and Digivolve straight into his Ultimate Level as Infermon, quickly gaining enough speed and power to outmatch most enemies. However, as a result of skipping the Chrysalimon stage, Diaboromon isn't as powerful as he would be if he goes through the Digivolution naturally.
  • When Diaboromon encountered the program known as Love Machine, the two noted the striking similarities between them, leading into an easy alliance.
    • In that same vein, Omega and Ultron have welcomed the Virus Digimon for both its unparalleled hacking control and its power and love for destruction.
  • For all its evil, several specimens of Diaboromon have gone on record as participating in taking down the D-Reaper alongside all other Digimon. It seems that even for something like Diaboromon, Even Evil Has Standards. Well, maybe it was an instinctual thing.

[up] Luna is also the name of Kamen Rider Double's Gaia Memory.

Repeat that I'm going to Delete Pantheon.Berserk Button as most examples are misuse. Anybody who cares can take the examples to make a new Pantheon what ever.

@Luna: Add interactions with other Lunas.

@Digimon: Ah yes, I remember when we still had Zeed Millenniumon here as the Evil Counterpart holder of Olympus Mons in contrast to Arceus... who wasn't that much of a good guy either.

I found we have a Fanfic.Trope Pantheons. On the works, how many are finished and which are unpublished. Those in the unpublished one must go to the Darth Wiki.

That's just replaced what used to be Trope Pantheons

Now let's focus on Eveline.

I got at least one go-ahead on this, so hopefully this is okay. To clarify, for treasures and dominions, is it one [tup] for an ascension in a week, two [tup]s for an ascension in three days, and three [tup]s for immediate ascension? Anyways, does this look ready to go, or does it need something more?

Current [tup]s: 1 (wootzits)

Current Ascension Date: N/A

Corrodium

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/corrodium.png
A sample of corrodium
  • House: Treasures (Maximum Security)
  • Appearance: A glowing, purplish mineral with mutagenic properties.
  • Alignment: True Neutral, but has been used for Chaotic Evil purposes.
  • Portfolio: A powerful, glowing, purplish mineral that causes instant severe mutations and Sanity Slippage in those who are not immune to its effects
  • Domains: Minerals, Radioactivity, Mutations
  • Corrodium is a mineral of great potential energy, much more so than even Earth's uranium. It was once mined throughout the galaxy as a large and extremely efficient power supply. However, the mining and use of the substance for this purpose has since been banned in most systems due to how unstable and dangerous it is, causing serious mutations and loss of sanity to those who are exposed to it. The Anur System is a known exception, as its inhabitants are completely immune to corrodium's negative effects.
  • Corrodium was first discovered in the Pantheon during one of the Dwarf's routine trips to the House of Earth and Metal. It took several members of the House to subdue the grossly mutated Dwarf, their behavior being described afterwards as feral, animalistic, and aggressive. Fortunately for them, the effects of corrodium are reversible, provided that the victim is not exposed for too long. Before too long, the Dwarf was back to normal.
    • As a result of this incident, any and all corrodium that could be found in the House of Earth and Metal was confiscated and subsequently locked away in Maximum Security.
  • Zs'Skayr once used corrodium to power a light blocking field that covered the entire Earth. All organic life on the planet mutated as a side effect. Because of this, he and his servant, Kuphulu, are strictly forbidden from going anywhere near the Pantheon's corrodium stash.
    • Dr. Viktor, however, is given somewhat of a pass to help with the House of Science's research on the mineral. He is required to be under heavy supervision whenever he is handling it, though.
  • While the House of Science has firsthand accounts of corrodium's effect on the Dwarf's species due to the previously mentioned incident, they hope to study its effect on other species. So far, Ben Tennyson has been able to describe its effect on humans and cows, and has also revealed that he is immune to it while in alien form, but they are still seeking further data. As such, they've put up advertisements looking for those who would willingly expose themselves to corrodium. Any willing participants will be compensated handsomely for their contribution, of course.
  • Reportedly, the House of Science has also been unable to get an accurate measurement of corrodium's ionizing radiation. This is because it has apparently broken EVERY Geiger counter that ever tried to measure it.

@Eveline: Allies with Poison Ivy, enemies with Aya Brea.

4 days. 1 [tup] for The Berserk Packs. Where can I place this in?

The Berserker Powerup and the Berserk Sphere

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/583815_berserker_pack.gif
The Berserk Powerup
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/latest_598.jpg
The Berserk Sphere
  • Appearance:
    • Classic Doom: Similar in appearance to a Medkit, save that the color is dark grey instead of white.
    • Reboot: A glowing sphere of energy
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Domains: Power-Ups
  • Portfolio: A Power-Up That Not Only Multiplies The Punch Times Ten, But Can Also Kill In (Mostly) A Single Blow, RIP AND TEAR!!
  • Sacred To: The Doomguy
  • Side Effects Include: Increase In Rage, Self-Harm, A Perpetual State Of Delirium (which is rare), And Epic Scenery Chewing
  • So, wanna slay demons like Doomguy? Wanna be a man and a half? Wanna be a 12 on a 10-point scale of badness? Wanna be a one-man (or woman) army while sprouting off one-liners? Then the Berserker Packs are for you!
  • The Doomguy is by far the most infamous recipient of its power. Once he uses the Berserk item, the nornally-stoic Doomguy gets...very animated. So much so that it's advisable to run if you see Doomguy on a Berserker bender charging full-bore towards you.
    Doomguy: Rip and tear. RIP AND TEAR! RIP AND TEAR YOUR GUTS! YOU'RE HUGE! THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HUGE GUTS! RIP AND TEAR!!
  • It's not OD'ing on the Berserker Packs that can kill you. Nine times out of ten, it's chewing the scenery when you're supposed to be ripping and tearing that gets you killed. Doomguy almost came close when facing a Cyberdemon◊, as his patented Night Train failed to injure his enemy.
    Doomguy: CHOO CHOO CHA BOOGIE! (BONK) CHOO CHOO CHA... (BONK) CHOO (BONK) CH...CHOO CHA... (BONK) oh my.
  • Turns out that anyone who had been brainwashed can use the Berserk items in question without consequence. Case in point:
    • The Ascended Kombatants who had been exposed to the Blood Code (The Cage Family, Jacqui Briggs, Mileena, Kotal Kahn, Sub-Zero, Skarlet, and Raiden) can use the Berserk items without any ill effects. If you thought Raiden was bad, you'll be running in terror from a pissed Jacqui and Cassie. And that's not counting what Sonya can do. She has a bad habit of ripping heads off. Kano is smart enough not to screw with Sonya or her family when they're in Berserker mode.
    • If you thought they were bad, Jill Valentine is much, much worse. So much so that even the Nemesis T-Type who had stalked her across Raccoon City is sent running in terror.
  • Brock Samson also sampled the Berserk Pack. Many a Mook died that day. Not even the female Mooks could stop him.
  • Don't let Wolverine, Gregor Clegane, Abigail, Damian Wayne, Cassandra Wayne, Regime Superman, Asura, Shao Kahn, Skarlet, Kratos or Guts use the Berserk Pack. Seriously. Don't.
  • Harley Quinn, of all people, can withstand the power of the Berserk Pack with no ill effects, something that not even Mistah J can't do. This coming from a girl who used to huff Scarecrow's Fear Toxin as a recreational drug. Seeing Harley doing her best Doomguy impression makes even Amanda Waller nervous, only Harley adds a bit of maniacal laughter when she rampages. Probably the only time one would see both Batman and Poison Ivy trying to calm her down.
    Harley: AH-HAHAHAHAHA! I'M GONNA GET YA! RIP AND TEAR! RIP AND TEAR!
  • Wisely, Duke Nukem stays away from the Berserk Packs, claiming that he wants to give the aliens "a fighting chance."

@ WhirlRX: I'm [tup] for cutting Pantheon.Berserk Button, as it's mostly misuse and valid Berserk Button examples can go under the individuals profiles.

I'll submit it to the Cut List unless anyone has any objections. Any?
