I have been following the IDW Ghostbusters comics recently, and I think that the Ghostbusters profile could use a bit of updating:

The Ghostbustersmembers , Gods of Supernatural Control (The Real ghostbusters, The Only Ghostbusters)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ghostbusters_profile_pic.GIF
Left to right: Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler, The Rookie, Winston Zeddemore, Ron Alexander, Janine Melnitz, Kylie Griffin, Melaine Oritz
  • Theme Music: Take a guess...
  • Lesser Gods
  • Symbol: The Ghostbusters logo; Alternatively, a stylized proton pack
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Science Heroes, Destructive Saviors, Awesome Backpacks, organization dedicated to supernatural control
  • Domains: Good, Destruction, Technology, Ghosts
  • Allies: Osmosis Jones, Luigi, Brief, Tails, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Danny Fenton, Reed Richards
  • Rival: Brachydios
  • Enemies: King Boo, Rotom, Gengar, Spooky, Dark Danny
  • Always called when there's something strange in the neighborhood. Even if some people think the number called is considered lame after a while, business is still going strong for them and they're ready to believe anyone that calls them.
  • Now if someone asks them if they're gods, they can say YES!!!
  • Probably the only Mad Scientist gods that Balthier does not oppose. No one ever questions him about it.
  • Should any news reporters such as April O'Neil be absent from their activities, Venkman sometimes reports events of the supernatural throughout the pantheon.
  • Some deities suspect that there is some sort of Commonality Connection between Venkman and Garfield. It's a bit complicated to state fully, though the live-action depictions of each are portrayed by a certain person while the animated depictions of them are by a different, but shared, person.
  • Venkman is the current human host for Osmosis Jones, largely because something about Venkman reminds Ozzy about his original human host. Neither of them have any issues with that.
  • On an infrequent basis, they often have to combat Brachydios (and the Raging variant as well), given their experience in dealing with slime. The group consider this to be challenging, especially compared to dealing with ghosts.
  • For some reason, Ray still won't talk about the time that he tried to visit a house that Casper was at and got scared off by some ghosts that were there.
  • The four have plenty of admiration towards Luigi, given that the latter visited some haunted mansions in the past to go ghost-hunting (even if Luigi isn't the bravest member of the Pantheon). They consider the plumber to be an honorary member of the group because of it.
  • Brief currently has an internship with the group, particularly since he views the four as inspirations (and the fact that he wears a similar costume and backpack).
    • In addition, since Panty and Stocking hunt ghosts as well, the duo sometimes works with the Ghostbusters...provided that Panty and Stocking aren't doing their own things at the moment.
  • They have commended Mickey, Donald, and Goofy for making an upstart ghost-busting group, even if it isn't the strongest group out there. Goofy's willing to prove to the Ghostbusters that the Ghost Exterminator Agency ain't afraid of no ghosts.
  • Danny Fenton has proven to be a highly valuable ally for the four given his ability to find ghosts and defeat them. He is often called for help whenever the Ghostbusters are having a difficult time battling certain malevolent ghosts.
  • They are opening up positions for newcomers to take up should these particular people have an interest in busting ghosts. They're just as open to offshoots of their own unit as well (an all-female team is just one of the offshoots that's happening).
  • Currently, there are three ghosts that the group is trying to target to prevent catastrophic damage to the entire Pantheon: King Boo, Spooky, and Dark Danny. There are suspicions among many that the three ghosts will team up to create a ghostly calamity. Naturally, the Ghostbusters are trying to prevent such a ghostly team-up from happening.
    • Likely because of that, various other mechanics such as Tails and Reed Richards have offered to help improve the Ghostbusters' technology to make defeating the more dangerous ghosts easier.
  • Although capturing and defeating the dangerous ghosts is important to them, they are still called on to handle mischievious prankster ghosts like Gengar and Rotom. The Ghostbusters have already dealt with Rotom before.
  • After review of the Tiamat Incident, it was decided to ascend the other five official members of the Ghostbusters who participated in said incident. Now all ghosts in the Pantheon are more alert over the presence of the nine Ghostbusters.
  • They are keeping tabs on Jack Horner, on the grounds that he may still actually be a ghost. It also doesn't help that he was/is the Jack-O'-Lantern.

Actually, it can be argued that the original movies, the video game, and the IDW comics all share a continuity with one another. It picks up a few years after Ghostbusters II, and after the Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

Kylie is an immigrant from Extreme Ghostbusters, the sequel to The Real Ghostbusters animated series.

The characters up above are from the IDW comics that follow the movie continuity.

I honestly would prefer if we stick we the original Ghostbusters. And i think there was something suggested for the Extreme Ghostbusters somewhere else.

FFS. Can you ask before making a profile?

Dude, that is the original Ghostbusters profile. All I did was change the picture and add in a new line of text as a starting point for the re-structure. And add in portfolios for the new Ghostbusters.

[up] Yeah i know the original Ghostbusters are there.

What bothers me is that you never said "Hey can i rework the Ghostbusters and add other characters from other continuities?". We could have discussed this to see if other people agreed or not with the idea.

But nooooooooooooo, apparently discussion before making a profile is too hard for some tropers. It's honestly starting to annoy me

[up]Whatever you say, Reapfield.

Look, aside from adding in the new characters in the portfolio, changing the picture, and adding a new line of text, I haven't changed a single thing. The idea is literally in its proto-form stage at the moment, and I am only looking for approval to move forward. This could open the way for information to be included into the Ghostbusters profile from the Video Game (the good one), and the IDW comics that is part of the original movies' continuity.

@ Catalyst 375: On Jack Horner's profile I put that the Ghostbusters are observing him due to having been a ghost at least twice, in fact he may still be one since his comic never stated that he resurrected himself.

Orihime Inoue, Goddess of Important Hair Accessory (Orihime Kurosaki, Robo-hime, Dragon Boobs, Orihime In The Way)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/290px-Episode_347_Orihime_9042.png
Orihime Kurosaki 
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: Her six-pointed hairpin
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Healing Others, Really Strange Cooking, Being Waaaaay Out There,
  • Domains: Romance, Food, Health, Personality
  • Allies:
  • Enemies: Yhwach, Nui Harime, Airy
  • When Orihime ascended to the Pantheon, she found that there were many Goddesses who sound just like her, in both Japanese and English. Because of Orihime's personality, she was able to make fast friendship with plenty of them. She can pretty much able to understand the mind set of Osaka. She enjoys the tea times, but mostly the cakes, when hanging with Yui Hirasawa. Was excited when she found out Alisa was a robot since she herself imagine herself as one in the future. But her strongest relationship would be with Hinata Hyuuga.
  • Many muse with a chuckle that even though Orihime was the originator of the leek spin, it's now more associated with Miku Hatsune.
  • Orihime was once mistaken by Nero to be his girlfriend Kyrie and gave her a surprise bear hug. Embarress, the healer informed him that she wasn't her which made the demon slayer also flush. He apologized for his action. But he did remark how very similar the two are.
  • Has made frequent visits to the House of Food. While there, those who heard the ingredients she use can't help but have their stomach churned. However, even though her food concoction sound bad, it actually pretty good. Though, very food know that.

Time for another (late) repost. Any more suggestions with him? I might be almost done with him.

Jack Bauer, God of Effective Torture Techniques

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Bauer_Jack_5690.jpg
  • Theme song: Either 24 Theme Song or this one, courtesy of Rikiya Koyama.
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: The CTU Badge.
  • Alignment: Formerly Lawful Good, currently Chaotic Good. Though he did border around Chaotic Neutral, and almost lost it once.
  • Portfolio: A Hero with extreme methods, Broken Ace, Combat Pragmatist, Will take the heroic role, even when it isn't necessary, Modern Cowboy Cop, Full Born Badass, Great tactical skills, Crazy-Prepared, Still has to suffer no honourable reward despite his efforts, Marked a traitor despite his heroism
  • Domains: Heroism (mixed), Strength, Determination, Extremism, Tactics
  • Followers: The Cerberus organization, Carter Blake, Hei, Walker and Erica, Spider Jerusalem, Marv, Captain Azarcon
  • Allies: Soldier: 76, Arthun Zala, Jon Snow, Aiden Pierce, Frank Castle/The Punisher, Kiritsugu Emiya, John Martson, Rick Blaine, Captain Price, Bryan Mills, Gene Hunt, Big Boss, Joel and Ellie, John McClane
  • Enemies: All terrorists in general especially Vladimir Makarov, Nikita Dragovich, Raul Menendez, Reaper, Widowmaker, Zoran Lazarević, Skull Face, Funny Valentine, Senator Armstrong, Agent 47
  • Opposed by: The House of Heroes, Leadership, and Justice, as well as many torture victims, like Vulkan, Miyo Takano, Shion Sonozaki, Sakura Matou, Alma Wade, Homura Akemi, and fellow torture-related deities, like Renekton and Asdrubael Vect
  • Opposes: All villains, regardless of alignment.
  • Once a simple federal agent, Jack Bauer retired from his job, with his family on his side after years of working as a serviceman. Then came the continuous assault of terrorists from around the globe, and he knew he wouldn't want to see the country he lived in to be ravaged nor would the citizens he dedicated to protect be harmed. And so, he volunteered to be head of the CTU, an organization meant to protect the American people. Let's just say that a few mishaps ended up (almost) killing Jack in numerous ways.
    • Numerous ways as in, lost his family, lost his friends, lost his job (and tarnishing his reputation), and even losing his freedom despite the efforts he did to save the world. And that's not to mention, that he got branded as a traitor at the end. Due to this, he wanted to leave his place, and that was how he found the Trope Pantheons.
    • Ideally, many gods chose him to be the God of Effective Torture Techniques especially since he has a large list of who he tortured. Not to mention, the effectiveness of each torture session that led him closer to his objectives.
  • With the frustration that he endured in his mortal life, his activity in the Pantheon is rather, small. He doesn't want to get way too involved in many conflicts around the Pantheon, seeing it as something even more daring than his actions before. Even then, if it will endanger innocents and/or his life, he'll take up arms and fight against terrorism if it needs to. Just don't expect Jack to do it clean.
  • Thanks to his rough experience with fighting crime and terrorism, this gave him the understanding side of both Arthun Zala and Soldier: 76. The former knows exactly how hard war is and the latter also has shared the same pain Bauer has felt ever since. One thing that places all three in the same category of cynical Anti Heroes are their actions in their worlds.
    • To put it simply: Arthun thinks of war as a hellhole, was forced to fight his friend Kira and had conflicts with ZAFT and its members, Soldier: 76 was Overwatch's former commander, who was celebrated by his actions, but said actions led to the betrayal of his friend and some of his actions went too far that attracted the authorities and led to the organization's downfall. Jack is in the merge of both, retired from work, joined CTU for the sake of protecting the people, and at the end, it costed his family, friends and his freedom altogether, to the point that the very government he protected went up against him.
    • Luckily, all three were able to connect their similarities and as a result have formed a group of cynical heroes meant for protecting the world, even if it means destroying their positions. The reaction was quite mixed to say the least.
    • Most of the reaction came hard to the Houses of Heroes, Leadership and Justice, with his record already shown to them. So far, they have seen all of Jack's extremism in almost all of his actions. Needless to say, this didn't even bother him so much, due to already having felt that many times in his life.
  • Despite having different positions, he has struck good friendships with Aiden Pierce and Captain Price, most especially the latter, since both have felt the pain of going through hell to take down terrorism, and the fact that both have been marked as traitors once. His opinion on Aiden is kind of mixed, as he still has a complaint regarding Aiden's still personality and his actions including being a petty criminal from the beginning. Still, as vigilantes, they are understandable at best.
    • Speaking of traitors, John Martson quickly heard this and gave him an invitation to the House of Anti Heroes. Needless to say, he liked the tour.
    • Even moreso during his visit to the House of Family, where he met Bryan Mills. Someone who has some weird similarities with each other. However, unlike Mills who didn't lose anything after his conflicts (well, unless you count his wife being dead), Jack lost everyone including the recent victim: Renee.
  • He's glad that there are many people who had sympathy towards his adventures since the people with him before did not have any. Kiritsugu Emiya and Rick Blaine are notable ones, especially Blaine, seeing that he had to give up his neutral retirement in exchange for saving the world. However, unlike Blaine who lived great after his adventure, Jack didn't.
    • Big Boss has felt even more sympathy towards him, seeing his pain as similar to the endurance he had to overcome with his allies betrayal, and him killing the Boss, which ended up saving America.
    • There are some theories regarding Jack and Big Boss' existance. Like how they say that Big Boss could be Jack Bauer in a video game incarnation or that they could be twins, in a sense of changing their identity. The first one unfortunately is further supported by the fact that a cetain mortal not only voices the two but also recorded his moves into Big Boss. This makes conversations with the two very hilarious.
    Big Boss: I swear, I saw you somewhere in my mind. Did you see it?
    Jack: No shit, you move awkwardly like me for some reason. Any guesses?
  • When terrorism strikes, he'll join in and do whatever it takes to end it. Whether be it killing some friendlies or losing his respect, he'll make sure justice will be served. Just don't either be in the way, or even talk him out of it. And don't even try using emotional talk, as it will make his tactical plans worse.
    • Oh and for the love of God, DO NOT try to reason out terrorism, treason or cold-blooded murder, so does killing or harming innocents. Once he has you on his sights, he'll chase you no matter what, and once he catches you, expect long hours of torture and pain. Just ask his brother and numerous other villains he tried to apprehend during his ascension.
    • Assassinating good leaders such as the President are also ways to trigger Bauer into sheer anger. This is why he hates Widowmaker, since she killed Tektharta Mondatta in a similar fashion as those who would assassinate officials. This has gotten her on his shitlist.
    • Then there is the fact that with the world changing, he noticed an even worse threat, American extremists such as the likes of Funny Valentine and Senator Armstrong. He sees them much worse than the aformentioned terrorists. In fact, there is only one thing he'd like to say to them:
    Jack: "Change America for the better" you say? Your crusades to America are a bloody joke.
  • Numerous terrorists have been in the watch due to his presence, most especially Vladimir Makarov since his experience with Russian baddies (who are his followers) have him on the edge. On the other hand, Jack has been given warnings that the terrorists found in the Pantheon are more sophisticated than the average one, something that has been itching on his mind for a long time.
    • Then there is the fact that many of these terrorists have their eyes straight at him, because they know that he might be their end at first sight. So far, only Reaper and Raul Menendez have taken arms up to eliminate him.
    • As if things didn't get even more interesting, he somehow gained an ire to Frieza. He has no idea how an evil alien overlord managed to hate him, but that might be due to him being similar to Goku in terms of determination power.
  • With his torture technique being so damn popular, many people have done a lot of thanking to Jack. Gene Hunt has been a huge fan of his techniques. Though that did not stop many bad guys from adopting the skill he earned, which rather made him cringe.
    • Speaking of torturers, Renekton his dire hateed of him, as his torture techniques turned him into this. Jack was quick enough to disagree, only for the former to attempt to slash him down.
    Renekton: Soon, the torturers become the tortured. And you're not exempted.
    • Asdrubael Vect quickly pointed that his techniques where "pitiful" and "are used among the weak". He finds him nothing worthy about torture, and plans to prove him how torture works best.
    • Things got more grim when he saw many torture victims right behind his doorstep. Among the people outside where, Vulkan, Miyo Takano, Shion Sonozaki, Sakura Matou, Alma Wade and Homura Akemi, among all the people around. It clearly shows how much his technique is opposed by many.

Alright, any other votes or something to say for the Entity and Destruction?

The Life Entity, God of Life Energy (The Entity, The White Lantern, Life, The Trespasser)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1140637-entity_3_large_3570.jpg
  • Votes: 1

  • Overdeity
  • Symbol: The White Lantern
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Creative Source Of Life, Time Abyss, Light Is Cold-Hearted, Manipulative Bastard, Connected To All Life, Only the Chosen May Wield, The Power Of Life
  • Domains: Space, Life, Light
  • Allies: Swamp Thing, All Lantern Corps members, Firestorm, J'onn J'onnz, Death of the Endless, Madoka Kaname, Eru Illuvatar, Captain Planet, Gaea, the Emotions, Xerneas, Ezalor
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Chakravartin, Shiera Hall
  • On speaking terms with: The other Deaths in the pantheon, Yveltal
  • Additional relationship with: Kyle Rayner (current representative), Thaal Sinestro and Hal Jordan
  • Enemies: Nekron, his Black Lanterns and the GUAD (particularly Nagash and the Lich), Ungoliant, Melkor, Krona, SKYNET
  • Opposes: Alex Wesker, Nurgle and those who have attacked Earth
  • Opposed by: Chernabog, Dhuum, the House of Undead
  • God spoke: "Let There Be Light", and there it was. The Entity is the White Light, the one from where all life began in the DC Universe. During "The Blackest Night", Nekron unearthed the Entity from within the Earth, where the Guardians found and hid it, in order to kill it and end all life in the DCU. However, Nekron was unsuccessful, as first Sinestro was its host, and then Hal Jordan and others brought back by Nekron used the White Entity to restore Black Hand to life, severing Nekron's connection to the mortal plane. Because of Nekron's actions, it was left in a dying state, and it chose four of the twelve it resurrected to become elemental embodiments to create the Swamp Thing to be the new bearer of the White Light in its stead.
  • The Entity's power ended up being spread out to other sentients as seven possible emotions and entities to embody them, who like it require a host. They are the Butcher for rage, Ophidion for avarice, Parallax for fear, Ion for willpower, Adara for hope, the Proselyte for compassion and the Predator for love. Anyone who wields the Life Entity's power is capable of using all seven emotional powers at once. The Life Entity got into the pantheon after transferring itself through the Source Wall. While unchanged, it believes the entities that joined him were recreated as some of the other gods. It came to believe that Madoka Kaname, having become hope, was a reincarnation of Adara.
  • It recently sacrificed himself alongside six of the other seven emotional entities to replenish the emotional reservoir behind the Source Wall to keep the universe from ending, as the reservoir had been depleted by the seven Lantern Corps drawing their lights from the wellspring. While The Entity is dead (for the moment), White Lantern Kyle Rayner acts as his representative in the DCU. The Entity currently resides within the Pantheon at the behest of Eru Ilúvatar, a fellow creative source.
  • As the source of life in the DC Universe, the subject of comic book deaths was brought up. The Life Entity has stated that while it can revive people, it doesn't do so unless need to be; that's why it only revived 14 of the Black Lanterns instead of all of them. Dhuum isn't happy with the Entity because of this, though obviously isn't going to try and kill it. The House of Undead aren't fond of the entity either as the white light burns through them.
  • The Life Entity is closely guarded within the House of Life, as it is feared what will happen should Nekron succeed in capturing and attempting to kill the Entity again. The lives of all characters from the DCU are connected to the Life Entity; should the Entity die, they all die. When not guarded, the Life Entity is able to use its power to restore or create life where there is none, often undoing any destruction caused by the Alliance of Destruction.
  • Asides from Nekron, the Life Entity has a number of other worries. As its life is directly connected to the life of everything that lives in the DC Universe, Nagash, the Lich and SKYNET have immediately targeted him. Krona is also interested in capturing and experimenting on the entity to discover the origin of everything. Melkor, desiring the elimination of his Creative Sterility, seeks to bind it to his will and use that power to take on Eru Illuvatar.
  • The Entity is often visited by the Emotions, to whom it is closely linked because of their connection to life itself. But it is curious as to how only one of them actually represents the same emotion as how they are colored (Anger), while the rest do not. It is considered as an elder authority figure of them, though usually lets them do whatever they want.
  • Will usually visit or associate with other life entities like itself, such as Xerneas. However it would rather not hang out with Nurgle, as it considers the Chaos God to be a perversion of life. Also, while it doesn't have much against Chakravartin as he's a fellow life spinner, the Entity doesn't trust the Creator that much. Still, it gets where his manipulative personality comes from.
  • Closely connected with the House of Nature. In its birth the Life Entity crafted numerous stars, and brought plentiful flora and fauna into the cosmos. It crafted the Earth itself as a home, and while the Gaea of the pantheon is not the same as that Earth she does refer to the entity as a godfather of sorts. Captain Planet may be somewhat related, as like the White Lantern Kyle Rayner combines the powers of special rings. Though it doesn't need the Earth around, it is annoyed by the numerous deities who have tried to or succeeded at destroying Earth and ruining its old home.
  • As the light of life, the Life Entity hangs out in the House of Life and Darkness. There, it has found another primordial life entity in the form of Ezalor. It's unclear whether they're related or not, but they get anyway. Whenever it hangs out with Ezalor, it really frustrates Chernabog who hates the light he produces. He can't do anything about it however since killing the Life Entity would annihilate the DC universe' life and even Chernabog doesn't want that to happen. The Entity is more concerned over Ungoliant, who'd like nothing more than to glut on its light until fit to burst.
  • No-one's sure where exactly the Life Entity came from, though most assume the Presence manifested it into creation, or it's the spark of Eru Illuvatar. Knowing the complicated hierarchy of gods within the DC Multiverse, you can't really be sure. The Life Entity seems to treat Death of the Endless of all beings as its "mother", since she infuses those who are born with life. Didi hasn't stated whether this is true nor not.
  • It does not have anything against the many Deaths of the pantheon; Nekron is more of "the absence of life", and death is simply a natural part of life. Like them it has a job to do. In particular it respects the Death of Discworld a lot for trying to defend life from the Auditors of Reality. Can also understand what Yveltal has to do to keep itself alive and the environment in balance. Has to keep shaking off immortality seekers like Alex Wesker who it finds really annoying.

  • Enemies: Almost none; few would survive truly angering him. That being said, he's on bad terms with the Lich, Fenrir and Melkor
  • Respects: Anyone who has sworn off a "noninterference" clause to help or meet those below them, such as Tyrael
  • Disrespects: The GUAD, Father, abusive siblings
  • Conflicting Opinion: Beerus
  • In the universe's infancy, the basic aspects and patterns of the universe would manifest into sentient beings. They would be known as the Endless, and the fourth of their number would be Destruction. For billions of years he would serve as an agent of change, but eventually wished to retire from his role, seeking to explore the flip side of the Endless; for him, the subject of creation. Easily the most beloved of the Endless; even Desire respected him. Most gods are generally on good terms with him, and it's considered really poor to piss him off.
  • The pantheon was fascinated by the fact an Endless could leave their role, leading some thoughts as to whether other Endless could have their power taken away. All Grand Alliances are considering this covertly, even the GUAG in case they have no other options. It hasn't gotten anywhere though.
  • Is on good terms with Wreck-It Ralph, due to their mutual poor skills at creating things. Friends with Satan Jacob, due to having adopted a simple life from a formerly godly title.
  • Conflicted on Beerus. While he represents destruction and understands he has to do his duty, he is disturbed by the God of Destruction's tendency to destroy planets. Beerus respects him however, regarding Destruction as a mentor of sorts like Whis.
  • It's believed that when Destruction of the Endless left his role, Fenrir would try to fill the hole. Destruction isn't pleased by Fenrir's desire to destroy everything forever, and has warned the wolf not to try and break creation again. Fenrir has listened to him for the moment. Also does not like the GUAD. Destruction is ultimately a force of change, and it as much about creation as destruction. They're a perversion of the act in his eyes, and he doesn't want anything to do with them.
  • One of the main reasons why Destruction left his role was due to the coming of the Age of Reason, eventually leading to the invention of the atomic bomb. Destruction didn't want any part in it. Naturally, he's pretty disturbed about the Lich, being the worst nuclear weapons have to offer.
  • Due to representing both Destruction and Creation, the Alliances have all made it a top priority to either get him on their side or at least keep him away from the other sides, since he has abandoned the usual duties of the Endless, which prevent them from directly involving themselves, most of the time.
  • Not usually found in the Pantheon, due to the other members of the Endless often being present, instead going on the road to view the world(s). He has so far not expressed any interest in joining any of the Grand Alliances or a specific group, but is often willing to aid anyone who stops by his residence.
  • Has decided to explore the other side of his abilities in the form of creation, leading him to Walking the Earth. Problem is he's really bad at it. Part of his nature make him bad at creativity. He still tries, of course. Him and Nero became friends as they're both Giftedly Bad. It's rather ironic that despite being bad at crafts, he's by far the strongest god in the House of Crafts. As he has a role with creation along with destruction, Nekron has placed him as one of the possible suspects for where the Life Entity. He finds it more likely that his sister Death is the source, but is in enough trouble as it is with her and has less to worry about if he bothers Destruction.
  • Melkor could be considered somewhat of a foil to Destruction of the Endless. Both suffer from Creative Sterility, but they have completely different personalities about it. While Destruction is a Nice Guy, Melkor let his contempt for lacking Eru's creative spark poison his soul, becoming the Greater-Scope Villain for all Arda. The Dark Lord once challenged him in order to invade and destroy his house, which resulted in Melkor being thrown around the pantheon like a rag doll. Destruction has warned him never to enter the House of Craft again
  • Resembles BRIAN BLESSED a lot. It's currently unknown whether Destruction based his appearance on him, or BRIAN BLESSED on Destruction. Hell, it could be both. Also had a talking dog called Barnabus. He's since given him to Delirium to look after her.

@TPPR 10: So what do I do with her text of Belarus wanting to kill Lithuania?

I don't know what to do with Hungary neither. Should I mention that Austria got kicked out and she feels bad about it?

Darn, I wish this was more simple. Maybe I should start reworking Estonia.

I have added more content as part of the restructuring, including references to the video game and the IDW comics, which share a continuity with the movies.

The Ghostbustersmembers , Gods of Supernatural Control (The Real ghostbusters, The Only Ghostbusters)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ghostbusters_profile_pic.GIF
Left to right: Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler, The Rookie, Winston Zeddemore, Ron Alexander, Janine Melnitz, Kylie Griffin, Melaine Oritz
  • Theme Music: Take a guess...
  • Lesser Gods
  • Symbol: The Ghostbusters logo; Alternatively, a stylized proton pack
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Science Heroes, Destructive Saviors, Awesome Backpacks, organization dedicated to supernatural control
  • Domains: Good, Destruction, Technology, Ghosts
  • Allies: Osmosis Jones, Luigi, Brief, Tails, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Danny Fenton, Reed Richards
  • Rival: Brachydios
  • Enemies: King Boo, Rotom, Gengar, Spooky, Dark Danny
  • Always called when there's something strange in the neighborhood. Even if some people think the number called is considered lame after a while, business is still going strong for them and they're ready to believe anyone that calls them.
  • Now if someone asks them if they're gods, they can say YES!!!
  • Probably the only Mad Scientist gods that Balthier does not oppose. No one ever questions him about it.
  • Should any news reporters such as April O'Neil be absent from their activities, Venkman sometimes reports events of the supernatural throughout the pantheon.
  • Some deities suspect that there is some sort of Commonality Connection between Venkman and Garfield. It's a bit complicated to state fully, though the live-action depictions of each are portrayed by a certain person while the animated depictions of them are by a different, but shared, person.
  • Venkman is the current human host for Osmosis Jones, largely because something about Venkman reminds Ozzy about his original human host. Neither of them have any issues with that.
  • On an infrequent basis, they often have to combat Brachydios (and the Raging variant as well), given their experience in dealing with slime. The group consider this to be challenging, especially compared to dealing with ghosts.
  • For some reason, Ray still won't talk about the time that he tried to visit a house that Casper was at and got scared off by some ghosts that were there.
  • The four have plenty of admiration towards Luigi, given that the latter visited some haunted mansions in the past to go ghost-hunting (even if Luigi isn't the bravest member of the Pantheon). They consider the plumber to be an honorary member of the group because of it.
  • Brief currently has an internship with the group, particularly since he views the four as inspirations (and the fact that he wears a similar costume and backpack).
    • In addition, since Panty and Stocking hunt ghosts as well, the duo sometimes works with the Ghostbusters...provided that Panty and Stocking aren't doing their own things at the moment.
  • They have commended Mickey, Donald, and Goofy for making an upstart ghost-busting group, even if it isn't the strongest group out there. Goofy's willing to prove to the Ghostbusters that the Ghost Exterminator Agency ain't afraid of no ghosts.
  • Danny Fenton has proven to be a highly valuable ally for the four given his ability to find ghosts and defeat them. He is often called for help whenever the Ghostbusters are having a difficult time battling certain malevolent ghosts.
  • They are opening up positions for newcomers to take up should these particular people have an interest in busting ghosts. They're just as open to offshoots of their own unit as well (an all-female team is just one of the offshoots that's happening).
  • Currently, there are three ghosts that the group is trying to target to prevent catastrophic damage to the entire Pantheon: King Boo, Spooky, and Dark Danny. There are suspicions among many that the three ghosts will team up to create a ghostly calamity. Naturally, the Ghostbusters are trying to prevent such a ghostly team-up from happening.
    • Likely because of that, various other mechanics such as Tails and Reed Richards have offered to help improve the Ghostbusters' technology to make defeating the more dangerous ghosts easier.
  • Although capturing and defeating the dangerous ghosts is important to them, they are still called on to handle mischievious prankster ghosts like Gengar and Rotom. The Ghostbusters have already dealt with Rotom before.
  • After review of the Tiamat Incident, it was decided to ascend the other five official members of the Ghostbusters who participated in said incident. Now all ghosts in the Pantheon are more alert over the presence of the nine Ghostbusters.
  • They are keeping tabs on Jack Horner, on the grounds that he may still actually be a ghost. It also doesn't help that he was/is the Jack-O'-Lantern.
  • Kylie Griffin makes frequent visits to the House of Knowledge whenever the main four Ghostbusters are on an active case, as the House of Knowledge contains information on all known ghostly deities or entities that inhabit the Pantheon, and she relays information she finds to them. She became close friends with Luigi, and often helps him when King Boo causes trouble.
  • Melaine Oritz is not sure what to think of all the aliens in the Pantheon, or of Agents K and J, since her first run-in with the Ghostbusters involved a case of the ghosts of Human soldiers who handled Roswell popping up as "alien ghosts", and since her mortal partner in the FBI was obsessed with ghosts.
  • No one in the Pantheon is really fond of Ron Alexander, especially the ghosts who are aware of his tenure as a Ghost Smasher, who dispersed ghosts instead of captured them. Also, he hates children who annoy him. He tried to bust Casper once when the friendly ghost called him out on his attitude. Regardless, his technological genius is still acknowledged, having been able to reverse-engineer the technology originally developed by Egon and maintain it.
  • Peter Venkman loved the fact that Janine Melnitz was finally ascended to the Pantheon, if only because he got his secretary back to handle all the paper-work for him. Meanwhile, Winston was happy that he and Janine could change hands from time to time on managing the three mad scientists of the group. A general consensus among their allies is that the Ghostbusters is that the ship began running much more smoothly since Janine ascended, showing how well she held the business together.
  • The Ghostbusters immediately put the Rookie to work with testing out some prototype equipment, modified to deal with the new varieties of ghosts, spirits and Gods to be found in the Pantheon. He reassures himself that he can still come back even if he does get blown up, now that he's a God. Nevertheless, he already had some street cred as a professional Ghostbuster before the Tiamat Incident, having played a role in the Ivo Shandor Incident, and setting up his own Ghostbusters branch in Chicago.
  • The Ghostbusters once had a run-in with an incarnation of Death as a result of Ron Alexander's screw-up with his original plan for dispersing ghosts as a Ghost Smasher. This Death was trapped in a magical bag for decades by Eugene Visitor, a friend of Egon's who seemingly died, which caused excess psychokinetic energy to build up, energy which Death was responsible for siphoning. Once released, Death quickly took care of the problem caused, which had manifested as a super-powerful Ghost that broke out of several dozen Traps linked to a Megatrap able to sap Gozer's essence.
    • Death of the Endless holds no grudge against Egon's friend, and is simply happy to have one of her children back. She simply advises them to make sure no one pulls the same trick on her.
