Trope Pantheon Story thread

Is it done? If so, I can move this over to the Tales of Life page.

Diamond Adventure:The Dark Mystery. And He didn't help the three from Lucifer per se... all he did was send him, Riku and Kairi to Alola Region to get away from him,

No. Still a WIP.

I would like to inform everyone that I'm reserving Klaus Wulfenbach and Agatha Heterodyne for rework.

Related to that, in which Pantheonic storyline did Klaus help out Sora from Lucifer (seen in the profile of the kid in question)?

EDIT: Okay. Think you can implement that in Klaus's new profile in my sandbox? And a reason why he would do that in the first place? I know he's not at all evil, but…

No double-posting is permitted, so I'll have to propose it here.

Camilla and I are writing a Tale of Life called "Episode 7: Shattered Illusion". We would like to eventually add it to the Tales of Life Page in the WordPress page.

Also…

I was wondering something. Ever since I created the TV World Personas page, I was thinking if we can write a new Pantheonic "Tales of" series called "Persona Stories" or something like that.

We'd start with the first non-Persona series deity; Sayaka Miki, and perhaps go into detail as to how the Team was able to make her Witch form,.Oktavia von Seckendorff, into a Persona.

Nope. Sorry. I'm not making a new "Tales of" Storyline just so more can be written, nor am I going to add that to Klaus' profile because it's story only. Again, sorry, but I'm giving this "Tales of Persona Stories" a .

Onto another subject. This might be a long shot, but is anyone concerned about them willing to be another admin on the blog?

You must be confused. I wasn't thumbing down your "Shattered Illusions" story. I was declining on your idea of a Tales series centered on every deities getting Personas. As for Shattered Illusions being a side story to Tarot Crusaders, I don't care.

Sheesh. We're already past midway. Maybe I can post it as a new post? Here's our progress so far, under the folder "Tale of Life: Episode 7: Shattered Illusion". I can always change that. Should I have asked permission first?

At least I heard Camilla seems to want it as a side-story or prologue to Tarot Crusaders instead. How about that?

edited 17th May '17 6:12:07 AM by nightelf37

This is more of random rambling, but I sort of want to develop the whole idea of Murasaki possibly having a Persona. Of course how to do it without it feeling like a shoehorn is beyond me.

...Ooookay? Neither do I.

Anyway, back to the whole chart thing, we'd burn ourselves out if we try to write every story and go into every eeeny-bitty tiny little detail how everyone gets their Personas and many people are already busy with real life issues. Make no mistake, it's a cool idea. We'll just burn ourselves out here.

edited 17th May '17 6:40:15 PM by HotmanX32

Hotman's right. I think it's best to just summarize it in the profile, just as I have when I reworked Iji.

edited 17th May '17 5:55:55 PM by nightelf37

I would do that... but it would just come out awkward without any lead-up to it. The whole thing was really meant as a loose plot thread for future, so just to wrap it up like that would be awkward.

Have to agree that making stories for every single god getting a Person will burn us out. Speaking of which, nightelf and I are almost done with Tales of Life: Shattered Illusion and it serves as a sort of prologue/side story to Tarot Crusaders like "Homulily?" was for The Great Upheaval. I'm also currently planning on a collection of side stories that are a companions to Tarot Crusaders (Basically stuff that expands more on characters that I couldn't shove into TC).

Disclaimer that I didn't intend to make an entire story just for that.

what else will it be for? While you can do as you please. I don't know what I can do to help you out since I don't watch Senran Kagura. I have no problems.

x2 So you're doing the same thing Krimzon did? I think I have a rivalry on my hands...

x2 I thought you wrote Muse Hysteria, Friendship Asylum, Inmate Echoes, and Tarot Crusaders for the purpose of your stories not being overshadowed by the whole Madoka stories, It worked a little too well.

edited 23rd May '17 12:25:56 AM by HotmanX32

Update on what Camilla said. We're officially finished with Shattered Illusion. I think. How should I post it in the Word Press page? As a Tale of Life (separate post), or as a Tarot Crusaders side-story? We're waiting.

EDIT: I have posted it privately. Waiting on your word on where it should be placed.

edited 22nd May '17 6:39:40 PM by nightelf37

??? Rivalry? Is that a bad thing?

Well, my original plan was that I was annoyed with 1) Madoka and 2) Great Upheaval was just based on Rebellion with Persona 4 and SMT characters involved. At the time, I felt like it was "unoriginal" (compared to the Worldbuilding I'm doing for Limbo in TC and the character backgrounds in IE...and you forgot that I still have to do Friendship Anomaly)

Do people really hate my works because I try to do something new/too much? I feel like an outsider when it comes to writing sometimes. Anyway, here was what I hated about the Madoka stories:

1) Most of the focus was on her and I had to agree with Lucifer at times: oh sure she's so sweet and innocent but yeah, she mostly got her power from Homura sacrificing herself for 8+ years—did her wish automatically make things better? No. (And of course, you know that I don't hate Madoka—I hate everyone gushing over her). 2) The Great Upheaval had all the more important characters getting the spotlight—Comic characters, Disgaea, Metal Gear, SMT and Persona, Higurashi, the list goes on and on. 3) No offense, but I felt that OP: Devil May Cry was just tactless and it really killed the mood of this "epic" Final Crisis-esque story.

If anyone has a problem with my writing, why don't you tell me? I can tone it down if you want me to.

edited 23rd May '17 2:57:00 AM by Camilla

I don't mind you toning it down, but I'm starting to find it a little ironic for you to be saying this. The Mario Bros., two popular characters, were in Muse Hysteria and Friendship Asylum, abeilt minor characters, Tommy Oliver.

As for the stuff popular franchises you mentioned, Metal Gear? Only Raiden appeared in-story, and no one else, And you know what? Now that you said that, I'm going to write him out.

Lastly, I agree with you on the Higurashi characters, They and LOL Ranger really shouldn't be in the Labyrinth of Amala.

Whatever, I'm gonna attempt to pull an Author's Saving Throw for "Reformation of Law." Because YHVH's punishment looked more like a Crack humor than anything else

So much for Meta-Ficton.

And I thought you two had a rivalry. Never mind.

Alright, rants over. Anyone else have a say in this?

edited 23rd May '17 6:32:13 AM by HotmanX32

I'm ignoring every Pantheon story that ever happened. . Any event that happens here I'm v going to write it in certain characters pages.

edited 23rd May '17 7:43:50 AM by WhirlRX

So would I. I only did Shattered Illusion because I thought Nanako learning about Personas can't be explained in just some notes, that there'd be plenty of characters involved. I'm thankful Camilla decided to help me.

What I was annoyed at the time was the idea of what was considered Spotlight-Stealing Squad (those who were popular in recent memory/ones with the biggest profiles). I do agree that some of the most "well-known" of the bunch get hyped up for the Rebellion story and compared to what I chose for my stories (Mario Bros., Tommy Oliver) they are well known, but they just weren't "edgy" or "Cool" enough to hang out to save Madoka. "Oh look at her so flawless because she sacrificed herself to save everyone" when there are others who have done the same thing and they aren't put on pedestals like she is...

One thing I did think about was, in "Diamond Adventure", the story was made due to one's actions (Rika doing Devil May Cry to make Lucifer insane). I used that for a bit of basis for "Tarot Crusaders"—when Yugi/Yami Yugi sent the Cutie Mark Crusaders to Limbo in MH, it actually caused a lot of problems: sure, the Crusaders found Gentaro there in TFA, but they also got the darkess within Limbo curious as to why someone would send a trio of cute candy-colored ponies there in the first place (Limbo is usually for those who are really evil and all).

No problem with the story. Now I hope you can help me out with mine...

edited 24th May '17 12:09:18 AM by Camilla

What you said was already done by myself and (mainly) Krimzon when we wrote Upheaval. No need to drag this on any further. Now can we please agree to bury the Madoka controversy and move on? I'm really getting fucking tired of hearing her, alongside a few others.

If anyone else has ideas for Reformation of Law, then by all means discuss about it. Just because I'm not here, doesn't mean the thread stops. I... I don't know what to come up with here.

edited 31st May '17 1:03:28 PM by HotmanX32

After seeing Persona 5, I'm kinda curious if the Metaverse can be used as a secondary Persona-acquisition option in the Pantheon. I know there's the Midnight Channel, but there are just some who wouldn't be able to get theirs that way. Sure, the Metaverse way might be…painful, but doesn't the Midnight Channel also deliver pain (even if it's to the feelings)?

I wasn't sure which thread was proper for this question.

edited 3rd Jun '17 11:51:21 AM by nightelf37

Why did you ask the same question on this thread when someone already answered it on the main thread?

No need to worry that much about KH taking the spot light anymore. The series should be ending with 3 likely coming out next year.

Also I did have an idea to get other characters more spotlight:

A GUAC Gaiden story about a Dn D Session they have while Lucifer's taking his vacation after receiving his conumpence. Hilarity Ensues when they all turn out to be acting like bad Dn D player archetypes like:

The Munchkin

The Loony

The Lech

The Rules Lawyer

The ultra role player

Leeroy Jenkins.

All with the Straight Man GM going batty from it all.

-Edit: Op Devil May Cry has a specific reason to exist: Book Ends. The beginning of that arc started with comedy (all the wackiness with Flonne), so its only fitting that the arc end with comedy.

Also a reference to Higurashi Hou released in 2014, in which Rika out guiles two evil gods (incidentally Lawful Evil and Chaotic Evil thus obvious parralels to this arcs themes of neutral beating law and chaos) and makes them her personal playthings.

The funny part in all that was that I made a joke theory about Hou intended to make fun of Madoka Magica Rebellion Story (the comparison between Rika and Homura going COMPLETELY full circle as part of said theory) 2 full months before it came out.

I ended up being 60-70% right about the story in the "get the forest miss the trees" sense.

Actually, only the "Xehanort Saga" will end at KH 3. But yeah, everyone can relax once it's out and everyone who's anyone in TV Tropes knows what they need to know from it.

X2 I did something similar to what you did (albeit unintentional) on two occassions:

• I had very little to do with this one, but In the Chick Magnet Quartet Saga, had Issei decapitate Shinnok two months before Mortal Kombat X came and revealed the same thing done by Raiden.
• The original version of Diamond Adventure, Gentaro's Epilogue (A trainwreck of a story), had Mega Man X and Iron-Man team up against Alternate!Gentaro. This was one year before Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite was even announced.

That aside, KH 3 is still not stopping the Keyblade trio from appearing from stories. (ah, fuck... )

That said, The link to the blog is here if you wish to join, because writing a story here will get you suspended by the mods.

GUAC and Dn D: It is mandatory for Chaos Knight to be involved somehow, given that one of his skill icons is a DnD dice◊. Not to mention this artwork

I don't think that belongs here.
