Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:
- 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]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]")
means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
- For new and reworked deities, 4 is a 3 day waiting period.
- 5 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 new and reworked deities, 3
- For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
- For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 is a 3 day waiting period.
- 4 is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
- For new Treasures or Dominions, 3
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- First thing to do before present a profile is to go to the Trope Pantheons discussion thread
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.

Lizard Metabolism
I'm quite curious, but what are the cardinal dumbest things to do in the Pantheon? The portfolio of IG mentions pissing him off is deemed eighth dumbest thing to do... but where are the fill-in gaps between eighth and third(Fluttershy in Saddle Rager mode)?
I'm genuinely interested in this. Also, Iron Giant's portfolio looks a-okay to me though I'm not sure if we don't happen to have a god of Gentle Giants already. Same with Durant though I can't say much on Sukuna due to my unfamiliarity with Touhou.
How do lizards fly?
@ Chris X: To answer your question, "Primarch" is a War Hammer 40000 term. It refers to the guy that Space Marines of X chapter have their gene seed lineage from.
Examples:
1. Blood Ravens (Dawn Of War): Magenus the Red (Thousand Sons loyalist splinter group) 2. Space Wolves: Leman Russ 3. Blood Angels: Sanguinus. 4. Salamanders: Vulkan.
Going to Durant, which fire diety would it be the most afraid of? We've got Alexstrezia, (big flying fire dragon), Adell (fast moving with vulkan blaze being a crazy powerful flame attack) Vulkan (the guy who other fire dieties would be afraid of since he can get shot in the head by a melta and likely come out unscathed), Zuko, etc?
Note that there are actually two Vulkans in the 40k universe: the Primarch, and Vulkan He'stan the Forge Father (think captain that's responsible for hunting the 9 artifacts of the primarch, 6 have been reclaimed).
Also of interesting note is that four of the five the chapters of Space Marines in the Pantheonic Rebellion just happen to be the most humanitarian chapters of all Space Marines (Salamanders, Space Wolves, Ultramarines, Blood Angels). Its implied that Gabriel Angelos (Blood Ravens) is making his chapter more humanitarian when he takes over after Retribution.

Never noticed the rule about real mythologies. My apologies. Amateratsu and Zeus threw me, but I can see how you changed it up. If that's the case, I'll roll with the Smite Portrayal then. Let's see now...
Vulcan, God of the Forge (Smith of the Gods, Hephaestus)
- Greater God.
- Symbol: A smith's hammer and pliers atop an anvil.
- Alignment: Lawful Neutral
- Portfolio: Smithing, manipulating fire, lameness undone through cybernetics, facial hair, creating godly items, ugliness by Greek standards, wed to Aphrodite, combat turrets, a large battle ready hammer, baldness, glowing eyes.
- Domains: Forging, Volcanoes, Invention.
- Followers: Ashul Edwaru, Godo, Aeries Mu, Felix Quintero, Io, Hattori Hanzo, The Man With The Iron Fists, Jason Ogg, Rothion, Bengali
- Allies: Zeus, Sophitia, Engineer, Link, Franky, Diana Prince, Hercules.
- Enemies: Both Hades, Kratos, Soul Edge, Nightmare, Gilgamesh
- Wife: Aphrodite
- High Priest: Ulthane
- Temperatures suddenly spiked within the House of Craft to the point that gods began to fear the walls would soon melt. When the source of this intense heat was discovered, the ringing of a hammer against metal greeted gatherers who found Hephaestus diligently working on one of his many marvels. When he finished his work and heard his new neighbors' complains, the smith rebuilt his new temple to insulate his heat and render it soundproof to everyone's relief.
- Within mere hours of his presence being made public knowledge to the entire Pantheon, a great line formed outside of his Forge as god after god came with requests and commissions for the Smith's unrivaled works. Naturally, as was always the case, Zeus is given front-of-the-line privilege to restock on thunder bolts.
- Recently Vulcan was able to meet his Greek counterpart's herald Sophitia, and the two spoke for a length of time. Hearing first hand accounts of the malicious Soul Edge, Vulcan has started drawing plans for a proper weapon to fell the cursed blade. Another topic brought up was Rothion, Hephaestus' avatar who forged Sophitia's equipment. Knowing that only a mortal he truly respected could have such an honor, it was an unpleasant surprise to see how unnecessarily hated the man was to mortals.
- By a chance meeting with the reincarnated hero, Vulcan asked Link if he might inspect the Master Sword. Link reluctantly let the smith hold his sword, which Vulcan held close to his ear. With a smile, he returned the Blade of Evil's Bane and complimented that it was the most loyal sword he'd ever held. "She knows her master better than any other." He left the god a little confused as they parted ways.
- He's grown more than a little annoyed and has taken to building fortifications to keep Gilgamesh and his demands for the Excalibur away.
- Despite this being a golden opportunity to made ammends with his promised wife, Vulcan's endless work habbit has mostly kept him locked in his forge and away from the House of Love.
- He's shown interest in the Engineer's ever growing Sentry designs and speaks with the mercenary when he has the time. The two have even trade notes, with Vulcan working on his own level two and three turrets while the Engineer's taken a shot at the old pile bunker model.
- Vulcan gave something of an annoyed sigh when Sun Wukong decided to drop in on him. They've fought together before, but the last thing he needed was a mischeivous god mucking up his works.
- When questioned about his robitic hand and leg, Vulcan first spoke with pride that he had replaced his once deformed limbs so that he would finally stand tall with his fellow Pantheon. That pride turned to spite when he mentioned his home gods still found him ugly, this time for "tainting" his godhood with mechanics.
To be honest, I'm not sure how much more to change this to reflect more Smite without trying to bring up a list of the other gods he's fought with/against. How's it look this time?

.....
They may not have ascended, but it's worth noting that maybe it should be mentioned that Vulcan paid a visit to Runeterra and then collaborated on something between the Yordles. I mean, how else in Smite that he got Heimerdinger's turret style combat and Ziggs' hyper bomb ult?
Also, Vulcan is Roman, his wife would be Venus. Aphro is Greek. Maybe you could point that out?
Also... maybe he'd have something to say about what Kratos did to his Greek counterpart. Y'know, that one.
There's also one thing I'd like to ask. Do we have an Ananke-like figure in the Pantheon? The one considered the personification of destiny, necessity and fate, which even Gods respect.
I'm not saying this may be a reason to put in Neith in the Pantheon, because she'd be just another Goddess, but there has to be one existing Overdeity to fill in the spot. Who do you think, Haruhi?

![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
To be honest, the first line about Yordles? I have absolutely NO idea what you're talking about.
I originally removed the Kratos reference I had before since it's debatable if this Vulcan considers himself the same as that Hephaestus so it's hard to say how he'd react about Pandora.
I was actually going to use Keiji to bring up Vulcan and Aphrodite, being our current Matchmaker god, he'd put it on himself to see them straighten things out. If you'd like, you can wright up some entries you think would stick and I'd be more than happy to include them.
Shocking Gun!
@ magnum 12 about Durant: I guess the one who can cause the most fire spread (Durant attack in groups so killing one means nothing when you have like ten more of them. Individual Durant have different roles of driving away their natural predator, the fire-spewing anteater Heatmor from their colonies) and the one who has least amount of remorse of killing them in masses. I guess Alextreszia would be the most potent threat since they would have hard time attacking her if she is flying, but that's just me.
Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!
.....
The Yordle thing was a reference to how some of Smite's skillsets were based on some skills existing within League Of Legends. In particular, since Vulcan utilizes lots of turrets and has a super bomb ultimate... well actually those skills were taken from those two Yordles (Heimerdinger and Ziggs) from League Of Legends. If you don't understand that, no need to worry. I'll just add it when he's officially up.
Well, um... if you've managed to put in Sophitia in his flavor texts, seeing that Sophitia is Greek and worshipped Hephaestus, not Vulcan... well, I don't see why not. Probably he wouldn't be able to feel a thing on Pandora but I think he could understand the fatherly bond Hephaestus and Pandora shows. Or a little ire on Zeus considering that Zeus was the one who did horrible things to Hephaestus in those old days. Also, to note, GOW!Hephaestus was infected with Pandora's Box's evils, Misery/Deceit. Vulcan obviously would not share that trait. But maybe he's heard of it?
Hm... use Keiji to unite Aphro and Vulcan? I think the furthest we can conjure up is that Keiji would make them be on a more leisure stance together, as in make Vulcan try to let go a bit about how he's pissed at Juno/Hera tossed him away when he's born (the reason why he locked himself up and not being attentive to Venus/Aphrodite in the first place), and in the same time, convince Aphrodite to see the Roman counterpart of her husband for a change. This may lead to the two teaming up quite a bit in Battlefield of the Gods. That's the best I can come up with.
Also, not to be shameless promoting, but there's this beloved Webcomic of Smite... that could be used as how Keiji convinces the two (just put it on Keiji's flavor texts, not the two). Whereas, Aphrodite saw Cupid and Vulcan getting Killed Off for Real in that comic, and then was horrified like seeing Eros and Hephaestus getting killed, breaking down. Keiji can use this to convince Aphrodite that deep down she might still loved and respected Hephaestus, enabling her to accept the deal of meeting with Vulcan and straighten things up.
(Not) A Game Master
@Vulcan Look, if we're doing any portrayal of Hephaestus, and somehow manage to work in a reference to the Soul series, of all things, we kinda have to make a reference to Homestuck. Mainly because one of the few denizens which we had actual elaboration on and is now in the Pantheon was Hephaestus. We could have him have a conversation with Dave Strider, including the efforts to fix the "legendary piece of shit" that was his sword, Caledfwich... only for Hephaestus to comment that it seems like an actually effective weapon that he could find himself building,.Considering the whole weapon is kind of symbolic of Dave's Inferiority Superiority Complex, I could see Dave becoming something of a enemy with him because of that.

What do you mean I'm not declared insane?
@Fergard, originally there was just one dumb thing to do (make Mithra cry thus make Asura pissed), then someone mentioned that making Seras Victoria mad to become Draculina. Thus I decided to make the trend as to which gods you don't piss of. This is, after them.
Fluttershy: If you hurt an animal if she's Saddle Rager, you're in for a world of hurt.
Yang Xiao Long: Pulling a few strands of her hair off, and she pounds you to oblivion
Erza Scarlet: Mess with her strawberry shortcake, she stabs you into a shish kebab
Juvia Locksar: Mess with Grey, and she will transform into water and strangle you to death
Ben Tennyson: If he's in his alien form Rath, he'll go on a rampage by saying "LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHING X"
Then that's where Iron Giant comes as the 8th god you don't piss off (although due to the giant mass of weapons he has I suggest he becomes third)
Note to self: Never bet on Entei.
Shocking Gun!
So if I were to ascend Sukuna, which Otherness sub-house should she go? Other Creatures or Fantastic Races? If the latter, then I will open a category for "Little People" and maybe some one can make a portfolio for Bilbo Baggins?
Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!
ADHD Villain
Again, I don't really know Homestruck any more than I do League of Legends, so if you want to make the inclusion, be my guest. I think I can work in a confrontation between Kratos and Vulcan. Nothing messy, but they wouldn't part on good terms. As for the Keiji thing, I didn't mean to actually make a thing of it, just to mention he'd like to help them out. The Soul Series tie in was fairly easy seeing how very little actual influence Hephaestus had in that story.
If its a combination of mass destruction and difficulty of counter attack, then Alexstrezia is indeed that which the Durant would be most afraid of.
Which brings up the question of how Xerneas and Alextreszia would get along? On one hand Alexstrezia is an aspect/guardian of life (her breath weapon embodies both destruction and renewal). On the other hand, there's the whole fairy vs dragon thing (though Alexstrezia is a fire dragon). On a side note: Bahamut is a metallic dragon.

Xerneas would be an ally of Alexstrezia. Pokemon are naturally friendly creatures, even between conflicting type combinations, Fairies and Dragons, so it doesn't seem like that conflicting of an idea. As long as individual Pokemon aren't predator and prey, in the wild, they seem to get along.

- It's noted amongst the pantheon sparring is quite a chore if you're not strong enough because she doesn't know how to hold back. Her brother even notes it as suicidal.
- She is very impressed with Major Armstrong's muscles. As she wonders if she can get muscles like that.
- Is one of the strongest goddess in terms of brute strength. For she is capable crushing boulders with her bare hands. Though she thinks the boulders are to frail.

- Lu Bu might cares very deeply for her and try to kill her. Even if you have managed to have him restrained. He will break out and kick your ass. Cao Cao learn that the hard way.
- She planned on challenging Asura, in an attempt to regain her father's honor and somehow though he casually ignores her challenges mostly because she sound a bit like his own daughter. Not to mention he'd like to not be so hypocritical.
- Her loyalty to her father reminds some of Mr. T of his devotion to his mother.
- A big mystery is how the hell she managed to wield that weapon of hers so effectively with one hand. Then there's the question on how she managed to control it like a remote boomerang despite having no Psychic Powers.

"'I will destroy all evil!'''
What do you mean I'm not declared insane?
Hold on Kanton, you have to expand on these portfolios. You can't just expect gods to like them if they aren't elaborate.
Speaking of which:
Maud Pie, Goddess of the Comically Serious
- Demigoddess (Goes to Lesser Goddess if Pinkie Pie is in danger)
- Symbol: Her pet rock, Boulder
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: those that don't show lots of emotion, those protective of their younger siblings, incredible feats of strength, barely phased by anything, honest but being blunt about it, having sweet smiles at the right moments, cold and sweet personalities
- Domains: Stoicism, Rocks, Strength
- Allies:
- My Little Pony gods: Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Princess Celestia and Luna, Derpy Hooves
- Others: All gods in the Calm Emotions House, Daria Morgendorffer, Brock.
- Enemies: All who would hurt her sister.
- Maud meandered along, slowly climbing the stairs to the Pantheon. When she arrived, she looked at the rocks around her and slowly blinked her eyes as Haruhi announced she would be in the House of Personality. Pinkie Pie personally appeared in the temple with a party and a myriad of rock candy necklaces. Maud...smiled.
- Sometimes goes to the House of Theater to perform her poems. Beware though: She has 10,000 poems—they're allabout rocks.
- Trollkaiger, after having annoyance with many gods in this house that they can't troll, wanted to rile her up by trolling Pinkie Pie. Next thing they knew, Maud Pie was hurling rocks at their temples—Rocks the size of monster trucks.
- Not even a few hours into trying to get some silence, "Project: Alternate Gentaro" emerged. While Maud didn't show any reaction to it (she states that she doesn't show enthusiasm or shock like her sister does), when Pinkie Pie told her that she was planning an assault on the Asylum (explaining that Gentaro was one of Pinkie Pie's closest friends), Maud narrowed her eyes and prepared a myriad of rocks. She's going to be there for her sister, and no one will stop her.
- Sometimes hangs out in the House of Nature, mostly to collect the different types of rocks that can be found. She has encountered Toph (As best as she can since Toph is blind), and is amazed at Toph's Earthbending abilities, hoping that one day she will be capable of doing something as grand like that.
- Was once asked to babysit some of the child gods. She entertained them by making them play "Camoflage" with her pet rock. "It's like hide-and-seek but WAY more intense." Unfortunately, the gods got a little enthusiastic finding her pet rock that they nearly destroyed the House of Family until Maud relented and revealed where her pet rock was. "He was hiding in my pocket."

Oh god, a pony I have actually never seen before. I've haven't seen VILLAINS, but I haven't watched the show long enough to see this girl.
Edit: ...Wait a second, she's basically Inky Pie.
edited 30th Jul '14 3:45:56 PM by GM_3826
Or basically Pinkie when she goes (Dare I say it) somewhat emo.
.....
Yinping might have a point (still needs to be pimped out so badly tho), but I think Lingqi is just pushing it. I mean, really? One-Handed Zweihänder? IMO, we would need an actual BFS for this...

Maud could use some interaction with other characters of the Pantheon.
She's in, but as the guy above me said, she needs more character relationships other than the ones listed on her allies.
Giraffe Choreographer
I feel like there could be other contenders for The Comically Serious. Other than being an example, why is the horse the best example?
Anyway, it turns out Hewdraw's role was already taken by another reptile god, so Hewdraw's out for now. Still can't get Bubblegum's picture to line up, though.
Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum, Goddess of Reigning Princesses (PB, Peebles, Bonnie)
- Intermediate Goddess
- Symbol: Her crown
- Alignment: Lawful Good (usually)
- Portfolio: Anthropomorphic Food, practicing science while reigning, The Ageless, speaking Gratuitous German Badass Bookworm Princess, Flat-Earth Atheist, Pragmatic Hero
- Allies: Vanellope Von Schweetz, Meta Knight
- Enemies: Kirby, Pac-Man
- Opposed By: The entire House of Magic
- Followers: The many princesses of Ooo
- Domains: Royalty, Leadership, Candy, Authority
- The previous goddesses of this trope were needed to attend to matters in the House of Beast, but needed someone to fulfill this position in their absence. Princess Bubblegum was selected and ascended shortly after. With Princess Bubblegum's ascension, she has achieved the power to better protect and innovate for her citizens. Now she seeks to do the same for the Pantheon.
- She is regularly found in the House of Knowledge or House of Technology, experimenting on various projects meant to improve life in the Pantheon, make the gods' jobs easier, or even try to stop the GUAE. Some have noticed that she tends to be a Pragmatic Heroine who sometimes goes into gray territory with her means. This tendency has allowed PB to form a friendship with Meta Knight, who similarly does questionable things for the greater good.
- It was once suggested to Bubblegum that Finn the Human and Jake the Dog ascend, that they'd be able to help out around the Pantheon, given how much she praised their accomplishments. Bubblegum, however, insisted that they not be ascended, so that they could focus on keeping the Candy Kingdom and Ooo free of evil. Time will tell if she'll change her mind.
- On some occasions, she reads stories to all the children gods in the Pantheon.
- Due to her nature, Bubblegum has had bad experiences with Pac-Man and Kirby, both of whom attempted to eat her on more than one occasion. They've been banned from her temple.
- Likewise, her insistence that all magic is just unexplained scientific phenomenon, has not sat well with the House of Magic. She's been banned from entering.
- Has formed a friendship with Vanellope Von Schweetz, bonding over the trials of ruling over candy worlds. Bubblegum has helped tinkered some of the Sugar Rush karts to make them even crazier.
- Thanks to the sound of her voice, some gods in the Pantheon (especially Pit) have occasionally mistaken her for Viridi. The two have met and they guess their voices sound a little alike.
This has been asked on the Trollkaiger discussion page, but should we include Monokuma/"The Mastermind" in Trollkaiger? I think would work well as being essentially their Sentai commander (or if you wanna use Power Rangers, they'd be Trollkaiger Zordon/Alpha).
Got something for the Treasury under Maximum Security:
The Artifact of Absolute Death
- Appearance: A turquoise jewel that emits violet light
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
- Portfolio: Mana Drain, Energy Absorption, Artifact of Doom
- Domains: Magic, Energy
- Out of fear of Tirek regaining his power, the Pantheon obtained the Artifact of Absolute Death, hoping it's own ability to drain magic might be used against him. However, because the artifact cannot be turned off once activated, it has remains locked away and will only be used as a last resort.
- Because of the damaging affect it had on Laharl's Netherworld and especially it's role in the loss of Etna's brother, very few are allowed know of it's existence out of fear that they will destroy it.
