Trope Pantheon Story thread

Can anybody give me a list of pacifist warriors or that least those with a no-kil policy? I plan to use them in my Tales of Life episode focusing on Undyne, and her being challenged to challenge all of those by the end of the…week (to be generous).

Here are the ones I can think of so far.

• Aang
• Kenshin Himura
• Iji Kataiser
• Adam Jensen(?)
• Josuke Higashikata

The Human Child will not be in the list because they've already "battled" with her before. And since Undyne's already rivals with the entire Houses of Combat and Weapons, I don't want entries from there.

Also, since their profiles already have the, maybe I can also add Spongebob and Patrick to the list.

You dare miss Batman?! Just add him to the list.

Maybe Thrall could count, but he won't hesitate to kill if the person is beyond redemption. (Like Garrosh)

Adell doesn't kill unless his foe is a scum bag or a Mercy Kill. he's content with just beating up most of the time. She'd might want to be careful though, since he has CRAZY high damage output, not taking into account his Armetta Bravery Overload skill (quadruple attack power AND auto crits from being in revenge mode) Naruto has also never killed anyone (the Pain bodies dont count since they're undead).

"scum bag"

X has a pacifistic nature.

Neo is also one pacifistic warrior.

This land is peaceful, its inhabitants kind.. ∩(·ω·)∩ WAIT, is this supposed to be the mistress herself?

Corvo Attano is technically pacifistic if you so choose.

Updating the pacifist list. This could go elsewhere if my Tale doesn't follow through.

• Aang
• Kenshin Himura
• Iji Kataiser
• Adam Jensen(?)
• Josuke Higashikata
• Batman
• Thrall (exc. on the irredeemable)
• Adell
• Naruto
• X
• Neo
• Corvo Attano

I can probably write some of them, but…darn, I get into all of their heads, and some of the ones I've seen have the issue of different platforms. How prepared will Batman be? I haven't watched much of Naruto Shippuden to be honest. How much kung fu will Neo pull off? The only instances I've seen Thrall in battle are in the RTS games, and he's…killed numerous enemies there. Iji and X are in sidescrolling games, and so fighting styles in a "3D" environment can change things. What's Undyne's balance between ranged and melee (since the Undertale battle matrix doesn't really tell)? How much will Aang and Kenshin hold back? And I actually know zip about Josuke, Corvo, and Adell.

Maybe this was a stupid idea after all.

Jensen is a Technical Pacifist. However, he does seem to lean towards Thou Shalt Not Kill in-story.

X is incredibly agile and "meta human" in terms of speed. The more cluttered an environment is (such as buildings, trees), the harder it is to hit him as he can use them as launch points. This translates nicely into 3d combat.

Batman actually HAS killed people. Golden Age Batman did it all the time with his most famous kills being driving to a mob boss' funeral and shooting the corpse to make sure he's dead, lynching someone onto a aerial vehicle, and puching people down the stairs. Then again one could say this era was Early Instalment Weirdness.

"Michael Keaton Batman" (may have been based off Golden Age) killed people all the time, including Joker and Penguin.

Modern Batman killed Darkseid in Final Crisis. This scene was the basis for Pantheonic Rebellion where Batman kills YVHV with the same gun used to kill Darkseid.

Adell is a Blood Knight, but more of the chipper happy have fun type. He's a martial artist who gains a bunch of bonus damage when attacking single targets, which also affects his ultimate attack Vulkan Blaze (think Rock Howard's Neo Deadly Rave) an S+ ranked single target attack. All of his unique skills deal fire damage, and most players give him Elemental Force to give a 75% damage boost to his fire attacks (includes Vulkan Blaze).

looks furiously at X7

Corvo can spare his targets, but death would be a more preferable option as Hiram Burrows and his associates can attest to.

Well, Final got intriguing. If YHVH isn't actually SMT!God, then He isn't a legitimate example of God Is Evil; Chakravartin is. If He doesn't count, will it finally happen? Will what we dream of happen? WE CAN FINALLY KILL YHVH!! YHVH's Death Hype! Oh, and before you say anything, don't worry about the SMT Law Gods. YHVH can be a Posthumous Character in the pantheon. Someone being Killed Off for Real here, especially YHVH, would be an interesting plot development.

On a non-spoilerrific note: Do the Endless really do anything in this pantheon. All I've gotten from them is a bunch of all-powerful bystanders that are the Mary Sues of the pantheon here because Neil Gaiman wrote a damn good book.

Probably if Moses is ever to rise, he might help out, stating that the YHVH he's known of is NOT a raging douchefuck and he'll be given the rights by the REAL God (his YHVH) to flood the **** out of that YHVH. Probably will be one single exception where we can get away using Jesus Christ by name, because really, even Jesus would be appalled at someone who makes a mockery at His Father's name. I dunno, have Moses say "Hey, YHVH! My God's Son would have a word for you about mocking Him!"

Jesus shouldn't get involved. At all. He's not a part of the pantheon, he's not part of the fight against the Atlus version of Yahveh. This is a war of fictional characters, and YHVH/Prince of Egypt!Moses just happen to be different enough approximations of their Biblical selves to avoid the Jesus Taboo, in a similar fashion to the other mythologies. By the end of the Law Reformation, YHVH dies at the hands the Keep noting that with the revelation that He isn't actually the Great Will, and thus not an example of God Is Evil, makes him fair game. No-one likes YHVH outside His brainwashed slaves(aka the majority of SMT!Law). And now that he's not legitimate, we can finally do a first and make this one Hell of a Wham Episode by killing the abomination of Law.

There's also the interesting stories afterwards of what this would do the metaphysics. The Good/Evil and Law/Chaos axis are practically the backbone and Sentient Cosmic Force of the pantheon. In the universe of the pantheon, I've always imagined that the Dungeons and Dragons axis came first and then Cosmos/Melkor/YHVH/Lucifer manifested as their avatars. Which to everyone else means they always existed as the arbiters of their alignments. Either way, the Character Alignment axis is as much a part of reality in the Pantheon Verse as the force of gravity in Real Life. So, that raises a question: what happens when that entity dies and is replaced?

Veto on any Killed Off for Real on any kind because you can't justified it in Pantheon canon.

I mention this in regular discussion .

I know I should mention this in Story for the Pantheon Tournament Arc , but I think all RWBY characters, locked or not, should be taken out of the tournament. With the exception being Pyrrha. Maybe.

Because of that, I will unlock certain teams. Since Pyrrha is fine for some reason, I won't bother with Team 43.

I go with Thrall and Jon Taiban for Beastkin. Also, Jaune Arc is also part of a team. Team Underdog.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute. Also, I'm ok with that.

edited 14th Feb '16 4:14:00 PM by WhirlRX

Ron Stoppable can take Jaune's role.

Also, Rexxar fits him more than Thrall honestly for Beastkin. Thrall can take Paragons.

This land is peaceful, its inhabitants kind.. ∩(·ω·)∩ WAIT, is this supposed to be the mistress herself?

Rexxar isn't Little Bit Beastly, he is a Orc-Ogre Hybrid. The hunter team fits him better.

Thrall for heroes is fine and i vote for Stella as a backup. Also a replacement for Nora in the bonus team?

What team is she on? You know, if there's a Sandbox for this, we got to put What Could Have Been.

@ Whirl X: Why not? Why can't someone in the pantheon die and stay dead? Wait, I know, it's because they're gods and thus unkillable. That being said, it'd still be interesting to see what fate will befall YHVH when He's removed from His unworthy spot as the Great Will's avatar. I like to imagine that, at the end, the mortally wounded YHVH will be imprisoned within some sort of maximum security prison. By nonetheless than the Holy Trinity and/or Endless.

No, because some how the pantheon are able to resurrect the dead no matter how they died. And killing someone off for real in the pantheon would cause Fridge Logic.

I understand that. But when no-one can stay dead(which must ROYALLY piss off Dhumm), there needs to be an equivalent punishment. What to do with YHVH after His loss, now that SMT IV Final has outed Him as a true example of God Is Evil. Something Chakravartin would be happy to take. That fate, I really wish to see.

Stop crossing out the Hs. Just call him YHVH if you don't want to acknowledge him as God.

This is a Meta place. Otherwise, many gods would be Tombstones instead of temples

The only way to "Kill" a god? Kick him out.

I could write a Fourth Wall story about this. It would involve Flowey (Because why not?)
