Trope Pantheon Story thread

Judge Dredd not getting involved? What is this blasphemy?

[How dare they don't include Law itself?

I knew I was forgetting something, or more specifically someone. IIRC there were ideas for putting in Omniknight.

Who were some of the candidates for loyalists and their GUAE back up?

Quick reminder that Reformation of Law takes place after the Tournament timeline wise.

I have mentioned this before, but I think Toyosatomimi no Miko and Mononobe no Futo should be part of the Reformists. They would be the main comic relief for them... until the chips are down.

@Tournament I don't know if I said it before but I approve of replacing the two teams.

I've started work on Rise of the Valkyrie. Hoping to get some feedback. Any Valkyrie Drive fans out there who can give me advice?

So just taking it from main thread in regards to the Tournament, and I know that the team is locked, but unless Yang suddenly gets a new arm (or gets her arm back) in the end of Season 3 (what ends this week), would she be really fit for the tournament?

I think we can make an exception in such a situation. Let's have a look at who could replace her.

Her team for reference.

Team 28: Volcanic Eruptions (LOCKED)

Honestly, I feel All RWBY characters in the tournament might back out because of the trauma of last one. Especially since we are going to Officially introduce GUAD. But that's my thoughts.

I think Zuko would make a good Alternative.

Another alternative could be Stella Vermillion. Unless someone creates a Tsundere team.

Wait...how about a yandere and Tsundere teams for the tournament?

Beat up or cut up Baka darling kun.

Shana, Mikoto... Yeah, who else could be on that team?

Tsundere team: Asuka Langley, Rin Tohsoka,

@ magnum: Hooray. For the sake of moral ambiguity, we should have a few lawful neutrals on YHVH's side. Also, if the GUAE is going to back YHVH up, I'd like to know why. "Because evil" isn't adequate. I believe that Melkor could want either to keep the GUAL predictable and thus easier to deal with, or is trying to steal YHVH's powers so he can finally void his Creative Sterility. The Melkor thing is just a suggestion though; we can debate about who and why the GUAE is interesting in helping YHVH out.

Ultimately, remember; the goal of the Reformation of Law is to make the GUAL represent Law itself, not make it Lawful Good or Lawful Evil for another name.

With so much resistance to Chara having a presence in the Pantheon, maybe instead of the tale I have here…

Nightelf 37 Tales Of Life

(Which consists of Chara possessing Frisk for a bit before getting KO'd, a search for an exorcist, battles with a few other evil forces, and ends with banishing Chara to the TV World.)

The episode will instead be a short compilation of (some of) Undyne's duels, preferably where someone challenges her to challenge all of the Pantheon's pacifist fighters within a period of time (a week, or a few days).

You really pushing this character too hard.

So, compilation of Undyne battles, then?

@Tournament: You could make this story appeared in the time before that, you know. Spare you a hand.

The reason for GUAE back up is simple really, and quite insidious/twisted.

Despite the loss of members, Melkor via Xehanort realizes that YVHV can be used to their own ends. YVHV's sheer malice towards the concept of free will (like Darkseid, he's type 4 Lawful Evil) makes him the perfect Unwitting Pawn for the GUAE's plot to turn the GUAL into Evil by another name.

Even if Eiki wins, Melkor still gets something akin to a small consolation prize: the demoralization of the GUAC through no longer having the moral high ground.

The new GUAL takes inspiration from the D&D plane of Arcadia, but with a twist involving a light side and dark side of the coin. Eliphas and folks like malygos and Copy X (he's law first Lawful Evil) will be the dark side of law.

Also, idea for SMT law's token atrocity commited in the name of no more free will. Via influence from YVHV's Lawful Evil buddies (remember, if someone's Lawful Evil YVHV is likely to like a character) Arthas and Darkseid, YVHV concots a plot that basically boils down to "kill and recycle" (reference to the MO of Majorita). In short, life can't have free will to do anything but be a mindless drone if they're all killed and reanimated on mass.

The GUAL would need a grey area to balance the black vs white that happens between them. That would the Knight Templar group led by Eliphas.

About Malygos, i originally wieved him joining Eliphas group as one of their most extreme members in the entire GUAL, given what he did back in azeroth AND he is currently planning to take down the house of magic. In fact, one of the reason Nozdormu is joining GUAL is to keep an eye on his brother on behald of Alex.

Many members of the group are going to be either Lawful Neutral or one of the "law first" versions of Lawful Good and Lawful Evil so there's no worries about unbalance.

The evil ones would be in Eliphas' camp and the good ones in Eiki's group, thus the dualistic "sides of the coin" us fulfilled.

Ah. About Melkor; can we treat him as less of a blatant Card-Carrying Villain who does stuff For the Evulz? His goals should tie in to his motives in the Tolkein-verse, not "evil for evil!!!" Which is:

• 1: Create something wholly independent of his creator. If Creative Sterility strikes, go to 2
• 2: Try to become God to void Creative Sterility. If that isn't working right now, go to 3
• 3: Ruin everyone's day out of frustration

Now, in the Tolkein universe the metaphysics prevents him from creating things independent of Eru. But in the pantheon's wide 'verse, the themes of that work no longer dominate him. So if there's some sort of Melkor story, I would like to see him try to finally avert his Creative Sterility. And to do so, he'd go after the creator beings and reality warpers in the pantheon. You can call this idea as "Melkor's Big Score" or "Melkor Strikes Back."

In essence, this is an idea for a Melkor story that makes him a direct Big Bad is for him to go capture some of the gods so he can finally create something of his own. And I imagine that, in this endeavor, he'd only choose the most loyal.

@Whirl and TPPR: The Potential users for the OOO Driver, Birth Driver, and Wizardriver are now open. take note that I'm planning to ascend Shintaro Goto/KR Birth (2nd user) soon.

I did my own role and such.

I do wonder if the Junko story is still possible to do. Or rather, if there is someone who would get it started. Because to tell the truth, I don't know jack about Dangan Ronpa.
