Trope Pantheon Restructure thread

Disagree on that. Though we should delete Santana's profile. And they need a grammatical rework, because those profiles are absolute disgraces of the English language.

@Faso: Esdeath doesn't have any weaknesses as far as I'm concerned.

Okay. Gonna try again.

Johnny Appleseed, God of Apples (John Chapman)

• Theme Song: The Lord's Been Good to Me
• Lesser God
• Symbol: A sprouting apple seed
• Alignment: Lawful Good
• Portfolio: Planter of Apples, Barefoot Sage, Friend to All Living Things
• Domain: Apples, Family, Honesty, Generosity, Kindness, Nature
• Opposed by/Conflicting Opinion: Brassica Prime
• High Priest: Tybalt Leftpaw
• Allies: Applejack (former 'herald'), The Farmer, Crazy Dave, Mary Lennox, Spring Sprite, Snow White
• Enemies: The Lich, Hexxus, Hedorah, Nurgle, Typhus, Dr. Zomboss
• Pities: The Cabbage Merchant, The Kid, the Evil Queen
• Applejack used to be here, but stepped down upon the appearance of the original spreader of apples himself. Her (thought-to-be) final act as goddess was to gather her friends and eliminate Discord from the Pantheon (before his eventual return, reformation, and repositioning in the House of Otherness). She served as a herald for a time, tending to the apple trees that he plants, even though she should've technically been his high priestess, but the Pantheon's rules on such titles hadn't been so rigid back then. After some debate however, she was given a position in the House of Mentalism. She recently moved to the House of Personality.
• Johnny is often portrayed as a man who traveled across the northern fledgling United States, planting apple trees wherever he goes for the American people to enjoy, and doing is selflessly and for no money. …Or so the tales go.
  • Turns out, Appleseed was actually a shrewd businessman and Swedenborgian missionary, who specifically left apple tree nurseries in the care of other farmers, and later returned to collect the profits of the tree sales…which was often in the form of barter goods (like clothes) or credit instead of money, explaining why he was never very monetarily wealthy; most of that was in (a lot of) the frontier land that he had claimed as his own. He also kept the worst of the bartered goods for himself, and selling/trading away the better quality ones.
  • He also frequently entertained children with various stories he heard, and regularly promoted his own religion, often leaving pages from his Bible behind.
  • Incidentally, the apple trees he spread were of the crab-apple variety, mostly used in the production of hard apple cider, which was the true reason for his popularity. Not apples, not apple trees, but the alcoholic drinks (cider) he helped bring to the frontier.* He and his ex-herald are one of the few that can handle the "Delicious Fruit" without exploding into a bloody pulp. Despite the fact that they're more like giant cherries.
• Several other deities have tried to gain his favor to get apples, especially Ryuk.
• Snow White Was a bit concerned when she met with him, who had offered her some fresh apples (considering last time she had one, she was sent into a deep sleep). After some time with Snow White baking pies out of them, and a heart-to-heart chat, she has been a frequent buyer of his apples, which she makes into pies.
  • For above reasons, he has refused to sell his apples to the Evil Queen.
• Now knows of the idiom "apples and oranges". No, this doesn't have to mean any hostility with Gangplank.

Also, Ormagöden doesn't have a lot of content. I say remove him to bring this guy back.

Eddie Riggs, God of Roadies and Patron Saint of Heavy Mithril

• Theme Song: The Chosen Roadie
• Intermediate God, although he'll claim to be a mere Demigod if asked.
• Symbol: The Separator and his guitar Clementine crossed against each other
• Alignment: Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Good, depending on who you ask.
• Portfolio: The Reliable One, Supporting Protagonists, Genius Bruiser, The Power of Rock, getting the job done without hogging the Spotlight, Hot-Blooded, Heavy Mithril, Born in the Wrong Century, Half-Human Hybrid, Living Macguffin
• Domains: Darkness, Creation, Liberation, Metal, Productivity, Humility
• Herald of: Ormagöden
• Allies: Dethklok, I-No (who's "Kinda sexy in a weird way" by his admission), Raz, Elite Tauren Chieftain
• Rivals: Japanese-based performers like Miku Hatsune, Houkago Tea Time, and the Mermaid Princesses (none of them outright stated)
• "A good roadie knows his whole job is to make someone else look good. Keep someone else safe. Help someone else do what they were put here to do. A good roadie stays out of the spotlight. If he's doing right, you don't even know he's there. And once in a while he might step on the stage to fix a problem. To set something right. And before you even realize he was there, or what he did, he's gone."
  • For that reason above, as well as his adventure in his game, Eddie Riggs used to be the God of Roadies in the House of Music. However, due to it not being a trope, he was shafted to the Rework section until a better trope can be found for him.
  • Because of the fact that not many people are familiar with Ormagöden, his influence has begun to wane. Seeing his herald Eddie stuck in the Rework section because of the fact that Roadies is not a trope, he decided to sacrifice his title in order to bring Eddie back into the Pantheon proper.
• Has served Dethklok and helped train their roadies.
• Although he'll serve any musician without complaint, he has barely-hidden contempt for the J-Pop genre and their Idol Singers (though he knows not to complain) and can be seen Face Palming backstage during concerts.
• His followers maintain the Pantheon's instruments when their users are not performing.
• Once met with Po and looked at him weirdly, mostly due to having similar voices in Jack Black. Po is in awe at Eddie's rock and roll skills, while Eddie does admit that Po is pretty okay as a kung-fu fighter, which is then taken to the next level as the panda learns chi.
• Given his music, he's garnered contention with Reinhardt.
• "Where I come from, this guitar makes noises. Here, it blows stuff up!"

Add E.T.C. as an ally for Eddie.

@Jrads Not surprised kappa

@Jrads. So its a villain version of Saitama?

More like "Dio Brando if he were a Bleach villain".

But yeah, she is a Villain Sue. At least I didn't give her the G O L D E N R A Y N A R E treatment.

edited 8th Mar '17 9:23:47 PM by JRads47

Speaking of Saitama, he and Esdeath should have some interaction.

…So this means Johnny Appleseed can return to the Pantheon by March 17, with a repost on March 14?

@Johnny:

No more games Cole.

Reposting Touta, and once again asking: is WhirlRX still working Korra?

Touta Konoe, God of Contrasting Sequel Main Characters

• House: Narrative (Character Writing)
• Intermediate God (though he can reach Greater God with Magia Erebea activated).
• Symbol: The Gravity Sword surrounded by Hula Hoops.
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Portfolio: Unconventional Vampirism, Immortality, Impressive healing, Artificial Human, Supreme Chef, Defeat Means Friendship, Un-Sorcerer initially, Losing his shirt, Stripping people as one of his abilities, Naïve Newcomer, Bratty Half-Pint with a Heart of Gold, Cute Bruiser, Instant Expert, One of the Kids, All-Loving Hero
• Domain: Immortality, Magic, Swordsmanship, Combat.
• Allies: Evangeline A.K. McDowell/Yukihime, Kuromaru Tokisaki, Kirie Sakurame, Negi Springfield, Asuna Kagurazaka, Mana Tatsumiya, Avatar Korra, Asuka (Senran Kagura), Luke fon Fabre, Sophie, Sayo Aisaka, Issei Hyodo, Naruto Uzumaki, Jotaro Kujo, Kamina, Simon the Digger.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Karin Yuuki (one-sided on her part).
• Enemies: Vaas Montenegro, Melkor, Bambi "Buck" Hughes, Hoyt Volker, Quan Chi, Zobek, Shinnok, Ryoma Sengoku/Kamen Rider Duke.
• Originally ascended alongside Avatar Korra due to the fact he's practically the polar opposite of his predecessor. Touta and Korra became good friends while sharing the same trope seat and remained so after Korra obtained a new seat all her own in a different house — twice — and moved out of his seat the second time.
• Touta was surprised to see Negi and others in their younger forms in the Pantheon. One particular twist that caught him off guard was finding out that Negi was part of the Chick Magnet Quartet.
• Evangeline/Yukihime is happy to know that he ascended, seeing as he is her only admitted soft spot.
• Touta was a little disgruntled to hear the he was actually some type of failed clone of Negi. He has made friends with other artifical humans such as Luke (another clone of someone else) and Sophie.
• Touta is currently trying to get Yukihime to acknowledge him. Some think it's because he has a crush on her. He initially denied it but later admitted it himself. He then decided to propose to her right in the open much to her embarrassment.
• He's currently training in the House of Combat in order to improve his skills, his Healing Factor and more importantly master the Magia Erebrea and Magic Cancel inside him. He uses multiple hula hoops in order to control his magic. Most of it is facilitated or commissioned by Yukihime, but on a few occasions his training has coincided with that of his then-seat partner Korra.
  • Aside from Yukihime and Korra, some of the people he's trained with include Asuka, Mana, Luke, Sophie, Naruto, and Jotaro. Not all of them reside in the House of Combat, but many either have friends at that house or go there often to keep themselves in practice.
• He's happy to hear how many of his friends have ascended and make sure he was the first to greet them even though Karin attacked him first in jealousy because he ascended before her when Yukihime also ascended, then again after hearing about his proposal to Yukihime.
• Touta gets along pretty good with many of the younger kid deities, playing with them whenever he has the time.
• It's rumored that he's been hanging around Issei as he can now perform his own version of Dress Break.
• Considers Kamina's hypermasculine optimism and badass boasting to be hilarious and often gets involved as well just for kicks whenever they meet. He and Simon are pretty cool with each other as well, with the Digger even offering occasional advice on his romantic issues with Yukihime.
• Chick magnets are also Buck Hughes magnets, so it comes as no surprise Touta has heard of Bambi and his usual employers through Negi and Issei. He had the misfortune of seeing Buck, Hoyt, and Vaas at work from afar, and can't stand them anymore than his friends can.
• Quan Chi and Shinnok have tried to come after him for his Magia Erebea abilities.

Drizzt Do'Urden, God of Dark Elves (The Hunter, the Warrior Incarnate)

• Intermediate God
• Symbol: His blades, Twinkle and Icingdeath, crossed.
• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Portfolio: Dark Elves, Dual Wielding, Exemplars Of One's Race, Tranquil Fury, Becoming The Main Character Of A Series.
• Domain: Cold, Drow, Rangers and Forests.
• Allies: Roronoa Zoro Link, Arche Klein, Lor'themar Theron
• Enemies: Trollkaiger, Barney Stinson
• Uneasy Relationship: Varsuuvius
• This deity from the scrolls of the Forgotten Realms is in an odd predicament. While he remains the most popular of the drow, much of his kind has moved on to other deities in the Pantheon. Many have tried to force him out of the Pantheon, but the Court of the Gods won't budge on the matter. Disagreements with their kind was inevitable with the growing number of good-aligned dark elves in the multiverse.
• As such his followers most consist or Chaotic Good scimitar-wielding, dark elf rangers to follow in his footsteps. Many of them were created by gamers in his honor. Drizzt has been mostly neutral in such regards. While it is good that his followers are improving the reputation of his kind, their presence has been increasingly ridiculed by others, especially Trollkaiger. Even Barney Stinson joined in mocking their backstories.
  • Not everyone sees it that way. More of his kind mean more potential Duel Wielding followers under Zoro's wing. He may have mastered the technique, but acknowledged Drizzt for popularizing the technique.
• To make things even more odd, he tends to get along perfectly well with Dwarves. Durkon didn't seem to mind at all and the two kept in touch in the subhouse. The current holder has no animosity towards him, though he made no attempt to visit the dark elf. [[spoiler: Durkon's death, seering and resulting servitude towards Hel angered him greatly. He would gladly help the Order to get revenge and hopefully bring the dwarf back to the land of the living.
• Lor'themar Theron sees him as a valuable ally. Despite the differences in culture, they share history as rangers and as those who hope to steer their kind away from darker paths. Theron would not want an evil elf as a deity.
• Gets a more lukewarm reception with Varsuuvius. He understands the elf's concern, since her rival pretended to be on the side of the Order before betraying them. He won't take credit with Zz'dtri's death, but hopes that it would warm relations between the two.
• Link may have a dark counterpart in the Pantheon, but that won't get in the way of supporting Drizzt. The hero of time firmly believes the dark elf's adventures are enough to redeem him.
• May well be the only elf Arche Klein would hang out with. She understands his struggles of acceptance as she had to defend half-elves from persecution as a mortal.

Varsuuvius, God/dess of Effeminate Elves (V)

• Intermediate God(dess) (formerly Lesser God(dess). Was very briefly an Overdeity, but doesn't like to talk about that.
• Symbol: A pink triangle with a question mark on it
• Alignment: Arrogant Neutral
• Portfolio: Ambiguous Gender, Ambiguously Gay, Anti-Hero, The Atoner, Crippling Overspecialization, Deadpan Snarker, Functional Magic, Glass Cannon, Guile Hero, Inferiority Superiority Complex, Insufferable Genius, It's All My Fault, Jerkass, Protective Parents, Terrifyingly Protective Parents, The Plot Reaper, Pride, Squishy Wizard, Sugar-and-Ice Personality, Unscrupulous Hero
• Domains: Knowledge, Magic, Explosions^* I prepared Explosive Runes today, Fire
• Allies: The rest of hir party
• Anonymous Benefactor: Sol Badguy
• Enemies: Xykon, Tarquin, Bahamut Hel
• Uneasy Relationship: Drizzt Do'Urden
• Varsuuvius largely ascended because everyone else was ascending. Besides, Elan and Haley both agreed shi should. Varsuuvius has been reminded by hir crow not to let this get to hir head again. Varsuuvius for the most part just nods silently. Shi's had enough as is.
• People are just plain confused about what the hell shi's supposed to be. A man? A woman? Either way, seems to be rather fond of the color pink...
  • Was revealed to be in a relationship... but it only raised even more questions.
• While for the most part no one is aware of hir little accident, there are a few who are. Bahamut tends to look at hir disparagingly, in no small part for what shi did and its consequences. Sol Badguy, however, seems to be trying to push hir on the path to redemption. Not that he really needs to, anyhow...
  • Has made amends with the Order over the incident, with the group more or less willing to keep the elf in the group. Belkar stated it made him like V for once. It hasn't helped with the guilt one bit.
• Has a complicated relationship with most of the parents of the Pantheon... While some were moved by how far V will go to protect hir (ex-)mate and children, the full rammifications and sheer power was also frightening, especially the amount of innocents accidentally killed.)
• While V has never struggled regarding Family Vs Career, shi has been found meditating with a picture of hir (former) mate quite often with a rather lamentful look. The only reason shi did not try and patch things up was in order to let hir family be safe from any other enemies shi may face as a result of hir travels with the Order of the Stick.
• While not present, V also took the events leading to Durkon's death, vampirification and being hijacked to become the High Preist of Hel like the others, not happy at all. While its now known how shi fully feels, some have noted that V may be beating hirself for another perecieved failure on hir part; after all, had shi not panicked, shi would've been able to help hir team.) Regardless, Hel has become another enemy for V to take down.
• When V found out there was a deity for dark elves, V was ready to give that person a verbal beatdown. V has long been stymied by a rival wizard called Zz'dtri. The encounter wasn't quite as expected. The resident god explained that the wizard in question wasn't a part of his clergy, though he did promise to look into things. Varsuuvius remains slow to trust the drow, even with the Z's death.

@Patrickthekid: The Fair Folk is already taken by Oberon, Titania, and Puck, just to let you know.

I have an idea. Would it be possible if I add Artemis Entreri and give them Not So Different?

I ...don't know. Unless I'm wrong, I don't see Dungeons and Dragons mentioned in the Not So Different page. Then again, I haven't played the game.

EDIT: Actually, you can go ahead with that trope.

edited 11th Mar '17 6:41:47 PM by Donnietu

Some rework ideas in mind. What do you think?

• Daenerys Targaryen, Goddess of Women Who Wear The Queenly Mask and Harbinger Of The Dragons
  • Reasoning: Her hatching of the dragons, thus being known as the Mother of Dragons, brought dragons back to the world since well over 100 years since they went extinct
• Petyr Baelish, God of Chessmasters and Fanservice-Laden Exposition
  • Reasoning: It's his brothels that coined the term, after all. Would have the latter be his primary trope
• Oberyn Martell, God of Doomed Moral Victors and Poisoned Weapons
  • Reasoning: He's known as the Red Viper and rather infamous due to using poisoned weapons. Would rather this be his primary trope since its what he's know most for in both incarnations

Do they need a rework?

I agree with Whirl, especially with Daenerys. She seems fine to me.

edited 12th Mar '17 12:13:22 AM by MeeMaggot

Reserve the titles, at least, in the event you find a better substitute.

She's gonna be moved out of the sub-House of Tainted Love, so please update the profile accordingly. Is she gonna be under Characterization, or Villainous Attitude?

Also, add interactions with Vergil, a similar Might Makes Right believer. By extension, enemies with his brother Dante.

edited 15th Mar '17 4:33:28 AM by nightelf37

An interaction with Saitama was suggested. Does anyone have an idea for a scenario where they meet?

Esdeath, Goddess of Sadism (General Esdeath, The Empire's Strongest, Esdese, "I am a Sadist")

• Theme Song: Esdeath
• Greater Goddess
• Alignment: Chaotic Evil with Chaotic Neutral leanings
• Symbol: The symbol◊ for her Teigu, Demon's Extract
• Portfolio: Ice powers that are absolutely broken, prolonging wars so she can keep fighting, A Mother to Her Men, believes only the strong will survive, Sadist, sociopaths with honor, villainesses who really want the hero
• Domains: Ice, War, Love, Chaos
• Allies: Seryu Ubiquitous, Steven Armstrong, Sundowner, Mistral, Zero, Kaldr and Lissandra, Arthas Menethil
• Enemies: Night Raid (especially Akame, who killed her, and Mine, who took Tatsumi away from her), Queen Elsa, Sub-Zero, Cygnus Hyoga, Rukia Kuchiki, Gray Fullbuster, Big Boss
• Rivals: Dio Brando, Gauron, Cooler
• Heralds: The unascended Jeagers, the Ice Cavalry
• Opposed by: The House of Dragons, most dragon Pokémon
• Ascended after an alternate version of herself died at the hands of Akame, but not before taking Tatsumi's corpse with her. She ascended with the ranking of an Intermediate Deity because of this incarnation, but her threat level grew as she displayed more dangerous powers in her main universe. After unleashing a country-sized blizzard on the Empire, the Court of the Gods considered making her a Greater Goddess, which was finalized after her true death in the manga canon.
  • When she ascended, she was granted the title of Goddess of Villainesses who Want the Hero, but a number of events (such as declaring Tatsumi's death and falling in love with her dragon form) showed hints of Esdeath's true nature, and the unleashing of the Ice Storm Commander-in-Chief blizzard was enough for the Court of the Gods to grant her a new title.
• Esdeath was able to rule over her title for a while in peace, until the members of Night Raid ascended. To say she was unhappy to see Akame and Mine again is a bit of an understatement, and she arranged Seryu's ascension in order to combat them. Despite all this, she still pines for Tatsumi, despite being told by him multiple times that he is not in love with her and already has a girlfriend.
• Despite being designated to the House of Love, Esdeath's temple is located in the farthest reaches of the House of Water and Ice, in the middle of a blizzard created by her final trump card, "Ice Storm Commander-in-Chief". According to her, this is so no weaklings will be able to enter her temple.
• Used to be enemies with Arthas, before he was able to convince her to give in to her inherent nature. Esdeadmitted that she felt better that way, and conceded to him.
• Her warmongering and Social Darwinist nature caught the attention of one Senator Steven Armstrong and his Winds of Destruction. Through him, she was able to join the GUAC. When asked about her opinion on Armstrong, Esdeath merely stated he has the power to fulfill his goals.
  • Of course, this put a strain between her and Seryu. Esdeath was eventually able to convince Seryu to stop whatever Macross Missile Massacre she was planning on, though the Jaeger still remains on the side of the GUAL.
  • Out of all the Winds of Destruction, she likes Sundowner the most, since he also promotes war (for his own reasons, but still). She also sympathizes with him for his harsh upbringing, being somewhat reminded of her own childhood.
• Is compared by many deities to Dio Brando, since both of them were implied to be born evil, and have ice and time powers. Dio didn't like the idea of an imitator and challenged Esdeath to a fight. While both were evenly matched, their bout ended when Dio used The World after Esdeath had already exhausted her energy using Mahapadma. Esdeath has since then been training to use her Trump Card in rapid succession.
• Since her former superior, Prime Minister Honest, isn't in the Pantheon, Esdeath has offered her services as a freelance enforcer to any organization who needs one. As a result, she found a rival in Gauron when it comes to looking for a job. While they are united with each other against Night Raid, Esdeath finds him a bit too much for her tastes.
• Is frequently seen at the Houses of War and Slaughter, participating in the carnage there and learning new ways to torture opponents. During one of her trips to the former house, she discovered the Big Gete Star and met Cooler. To her disappointment, he didn't have ice powers, but was delighted to learn about the Meta-Coolers. While Esdeath does acknowledge the power gap between them, Cooler is wary of her unique powers.
• Opposed by the House of Dragons due to her attraction towards Tatsumi's dragon form, which creeps all of them out. Is also disliked by most Dragon-type Pokémon, due to their own vulnerability to her powers.
• Made an enemy out of Big Boss, who has an intense hatred for her Bad Boss tendencies and warmongering for her own selfish desires. Esdeath just shrugs off his contempt for her, knowing that he too needs war to feel alive, something that Big Boss reluctantly admits is true. Still, he warned her that he's beaten supernatural opponents before, and he'll beat her too when the time comes. The two have since had a very unfriendly rivalry as mercenaries.

Nice image.

Maybe she would have wanted to challenge him to a fight after hearing about his feats. Guess what happened?

She looks good to me

@ Esdeath: Would Marquis DeSade work as her high priest? Otherwise

@J Rads 47: For Esdeath, both Alex DeLarge and Eric Cartman are also sadists, so maybe some interaction with them.

@Esdeath I'd like to know her thoughts on Sans. As someone who is such a firm believer in the strongest surviving, I kind of want to know what her thoughts on the self proclaimed 'Easiest Enemy' and what is technically the weakest monster in Undertale being such a pain in the ass to kill.

I saw that the new version for Iji has come out. I'll handle the rework.

I wonder if I can have her claim Karma Meter again (as was my original intent when I worked on her for ascension) and add two more Ijis; One where she's a killer and gets Alpha Struck along with Earth by the Komato, and one who is a "True Pacifist" (or at least regards reflected projectiles as kills), reflecting the updates in the 1.7 version.

edited 16th Mar '17 5:33:12 AM by nightelf37

Thus is a working profile to see what a rework of a Puella Magi Girl would look like if you got rid of all mention of Pantheon Upheavel and what not. Included pre and post rework for comperison. Note, I never watch PM but I know a little pit of it.

Sayaka Miki, Patron Saint of the Shocking Revelation (Oktavia von Seckendorff)

^note Oktavia:

• Theme song: Decretum (as Sayaka), She is a Witch (when summoning) Symposium Magarum (using Oktavia von Seckendorff).
• Lesser Goddess, Intermediate Goddess when using Oktavia von Seckendorff
• Symbol: A blue Soul Gem next to a Grief Seed.
• Alignment: Lawful Good (Chaotic Evil as Oktavia, though through training in the Midnight Channel she has learned to channel the Witch as a Persona)
• Portfolio: Magical Girls, Determinator, Knight Templar, The Power of Love, Wide-Eyed Idealist, Love Makes You Evil, Becoming the Monster, Coming back from the dead even stronger, Summon Magic.
• Domain: Law, Good, Magic, Despair, Love, Idealism.
• Allies: Madoka Kaname, Archer, Shirou Emiya, Mami Tomoe, Kyoko Sakura (maybe more), Martin Walker, Miki Aono, Yu Narukami, Ip Man, Isaac Clarke, Nagisa Momoe, Homura of the Crimson Squad, Kouta Kazuraba/Kamen Rider Gaim, Mitsuzane Kureshima/Kamen Rider Ryugen, Judai Yuki, Shinji Kido/Kamen Rider Ryuki, Eiji Hino/Kamen Rider OOO, The Hero Club (Especially Karin), Luka, Kazuma Kenzaki/Kamen Rider Blade, Shark, Tyrael, Aqua, Riku, Gabriel Belmont, the Gokaigers (especially Joe Gibken/Gokai Blue), Nonon Jakuzure, Peacock, Master Chief (Rebuilt Pedestal), Black★Rock Shooter.
• Enemies: Yuuki Terumi, Ryoma Sengoku/Kamen Rider Duke, Slade, Vaas Montenegro, Tzeentch, Kyubey and other Incubators in general, Bernkastel, Lambadelta (one sided), LUCIFER, Homura Akemi (post-Great Upheaval).
• Opposed by: Mordred
• Respected by: Elpizo, Bloody Marie
• Watched with Interest By: The Gravemind
• Mentor: Uther the Lightbringer.
• Thought this was a profile for a cute girl? Too bad, it's Sayaka Miki.
• Once the Avatar of Fallen Magical Girls, she was able to rise up from that status. But to make it up, she was given The Reveal for the fact that magical girls in her world will turn into Witches.
• Archer tends to ask about her idol, Mami Tomoe, and her... Unlimited Musket Works. Wonders if he can add her flintlocks and Sayaka's Cutlasses to his collection. Sayaka, for her part, listens to his many stories with interest.... if she, Archer and Shirou happen to be in the same room, things get interesting.
• Sayaka has a tendency to be Wrong Genre Savvy about the The Power of Love, this has been known to trigger transformations into Oktavia.
• If not in this house, Sayaka can be found in the House of Music, listening to a violin recital of Ave Maria. Sayaka is known to cry while she enjoys the song, says it's her last memory of "him".
• She has recently found a kindred spirit in the form of Captain Martin Walker, as both have gone through very similar trials, resulting in both forced to realize their foolish ideals of heroism.
• Sayaka quickly became a good friends with Miki Aono, not just on the voice, but she was impressed on Miki's resolve and success as a Magical Girl, and occasionally wished that she might've been reborn in a similar universe like hers. The fact that Miki instead understood Sayaka's plight instead of flaunting her more fortunate life, and also not blaming her and knowing that it's the machinations of Kyubey that is to blame, made things even smoother.
• At Sayaka's request, Yu Narukami brought her to the Midnight Channel, and by facing her Other Self she learned how to summon Oktavia von Seckendorff as a Persona of the Fortune Arcana, a skill that she put to good use during the "Great Upheaval". This, along with her getting over most of her problems has earned her entry into the GUAG magical girl sisterhood. She is forever grateful to Yu for this, bursting into tears as it sunk in that Oktavia had finally, finally been brought under control for good. Many gods and goddesses find it kind of ironic that Sayaka went from detesting Oktavia to wanting to use her in every fight.
  • As such, she is one of the few Magical Girls who trusted him even after the Great Upheaval, even pointing out that technically Yu doesn't summon Lucifer himself, but rather a figment of imagination given physical form that looks like him. The two have become sparring partners as well, Yu teaching her the best way to fight in tandem with her new Persona: the fact they both use swords helps in this regard.
  • Sayaka frightened more than a couple of people when they noticed her stumbling around with a very dark-looking Soul Gem for an extended period of time. Fearing the worst, Madoka confronted her: as it turned out, Sayaka and the Investigation Team were running an experiment of sorts to see if a Soul Gem's taint affected the use of a Persona, with Sayaka herself as the willing test subject. Results were conclusive: she couldn't even manifest her Persona, and ended up with a pounding headache for her trouble. She cleaned her Gem with a Grief Seed as soon as everything stopped spinning and apologized to Madoka for making her worry.
• Recently accepted the tutelage of one Master Ip Man, who although admires and respects Sayaka's stuanch devotion to justice, constantly reminds his new student to not lose sight of family and friendship in her devotion to the good-fight.
• She's also become close friends with Isaac Clarke. They've bonded over commonalities such as fighting horrific monsters, enduring Sanity Slippage, taking levels in badass, and finding a Second Love. Now, in addition to her powers and her ability to summon Oktavia as a persona, she also has the latest CEC weapons and tools. She and Kyouko also go on double dates with Isaac and Ellie whenever either couple aren't busy fighting off Necromorphs or Wraiths.
• Despises Lucifer almost as much as Madoka does. That was her best friend whose life he ruined, after all. And thanks to his machinations, her earthly avatar doesn't even remember Madoka anymore.
  • However, this hatred as well as her occasionally warped ideals towards Justice has made her a being of particular interest to The Flood Gravemind, since she reminds it of one of its greatest enemies, The Didact. And just as it warped his mind through his feelings towards humanity, it seeks to someday do the same to her with her feelings towards both Lucifer and Homura, turning her into its new champion in her quest to both avenge and forever protect Madoka from harm again, all to eliminate two of its greatest enemies.
• While she doesn't hold any true antagonistic feelings for the knight, Mordred opposes her due to reminding her of the person she once was before learning a terrible truth, and is secretly jealous she managed to eventually move past her failings.
• There was time when she didn't know what to think about Homura of the Crimson Squad, not only for her name, but her voice. However, once Homura heard that she became what she is out of broken love, something what isn't that far off what happened to her, they seemed to become nice to each other, and can be seen sometimes sparring together.
• Used to despise Gabriel Belmont, due to her somewhat warped ideals of perfect Justice, she couldn't comprehend that his role as The Prince of Darkness, and the apex predator who keeps all the weaker, but more dangerous evils in check was positive in the long run. It didn't help that Gabriel is one of Homura's biggest supporters in the Pantheon, which infuriated her. Gabriel has on more then one occasion compared herself to him.
  • This changed upon several shocking revelations discovered when he personally went to the Sisterhood to apologize for his earlier actions, some of them told by Madoka. Gabriel had managed to find his redemption sometime after an attack she had led in the past, going as far as to cure people of a "demon virus" with no regard to his own beneift. Madoka is in many ways like his late wife/child hood friend Marie. Lastly, he intends to help the Sisterhood pull Homura back from the darkness, through any means necessary.
  • Riku was better able to explain "the apex predator", for he is like one as well, using the power of darkness to hunt lesser but more malicious entities of darkness. Riku also understands what its like to be taken by his inner darkness and come back from it.
• Finds Aqua to be like a big sister to her.
• Tyrael finds great promise in Sayaka, so long as she stays level headed. He has since taken her in as an apprentice.
• Has become friends with Judai Yuki, due to both having gone through a fall from grace for the sake of a friend, but becoming a better person afterwards. Plus Sayaka finds his antics very funny, like when he did his "The Hour Is Upon Us" skit.
• Has the dubious honor of being the only member of the Sisterhood who Bloody Marie doesn't have any real problem with. Apparently, the Skullgirl has something more akin to respect for her because she reminds her of her best friend Peacock at least, back when she was still Patricia both personality and voice-wise, and she too understands what it's like to become a monster because of wishing for another's sake. Sayaka's iffy on that subject, due to the former's ties with Homura, but she does still trust her more than another Mahou Shoujo thanks to Peacock's insistence.
  • Speaking of Peacock, Sayaka is a little uncomfortable around her due to previously-mentioned similar voices, though much more insane on Peacock's part, though she also sympathizes with her Dark and Troubled Past, realizing that she would probably be no better off. However, she doesn't appreciate Peacock's cosplaying of her.
• Is respected by the usually human-hating Elpizo, who sees much of himself in her: Both of them were people who wanted to fight for what they believed was right, then fell into grief and self-loathing after a traumatic event while going insane and gaining a dark power in the process, except she rose again even stronger than before (eventually). She herself isn't entirely certain how to feel in return though, given his whole agenda of Kill All Humans while crazy, being a proud member of the GUAC and allied to Homura, yet also desiring to make amends for his sins. She usually responds when asked:
  "Uh...thanks...I guess?"
• Good friends with Luka, due to their shared beliefs on being heroes, being in the service of Goddesses (though Sayaka does sympathize with him on how Ilias didn't quite turn out like Madoka), and angel motifs. While she was shocked to learn about his relations to Lucifer, she managed to push that aside upon realizing that Luka and he are not the same person, nor should a son have to inherit a father's...mother's sins.
  • She also has gone to him to learn new sword techniques. She's especially eager to try out Death Sword Chaos Star with Oktavia to back her up.
• Though formerly she respected the Master Chief for his selfless nature, devotion to good, and status as a "knight in shining armor" who has saved worlds, she has now come to despise him for one key reason: his stalwart defense and support of Homura Akemi. She also fears him, as she is quite aware of his superhuman abilities and decades of experience, and he drew his rifle on her when she attempted to attack Homura in the wake of the Great Upheaval, and threatened grievous harm upon her if she tried it again. When the Chief appeared to have turned traitor and attacked a peace conference, she was secretly elated that the fall of "the traitor's" guardian meant she had a legitimate reason to hate and fight him; when his name was cleared and the true circumstances of the situation were revealed to all, Sayaka actually seemed annoyed and disappointed that said reason was taken away with him revealed to still be as morally "clean" as ever. Unfortunately, this developing antagonism towards the Chief is being considered as yet another piece of evidence for the Gravemind that she would make a perfect new pawn for him...
  • Sayaka finaly confronted The Chief over the matter wanting answers. She got them, and her respect for him returned. Master Chief's net objective is to help the Sisterhood and Madoka, and the only way to do it right is to do it "Ma'am's Way", even if he has to get aggressive to do it. The person in charge of this clandestine operation couldn't trust Sayaka's hot headed nature enough to let her in on it. Rumors say that when she returned to her house, you could hear Sayaka screaming for hours, understandably upset with being Locked Out of the Loop on a critical detail.
  • Sayaka's increasingly-irrational hatred of Homura and all who support her has the Sisterhood's higher-ups increasingly worried, and has earned Sayaka the condemnation and warnings from some Good-aligned deities who see what kind of path she's walking and where it might lead.
• Has great admiration for Lord Uther the Lightbringer, seeing him as a honorobable hero she aspires to be. She has decided to join in his training with other people to become Paladins but Uther has especially kept an eye on her, Because her backstory reminds him a little too much of Arthas, his old protégé that later killed him. She reasures him that she has long atoned for what happened to her.
  • However, she stays far away from Artix von Krigeger, whom Lord Uther was the Herald to long ago. She respects Artix's strength and the fact that he decided to Screw Destiny by not becoming the Anti Anti Christ in his homeworld but she's really frightened about his unholy love of killing the undead. She REALLY got freaked out when she heard of Artix going crazy during the Undead Uprising and gleefully smiting the undead and singing about it.

• Thought this was a profile for a cute girl? Too bad, it's Sayaka Miki.
• Once the Avatar of Fallen Magical Girls, she was able to rise up from that status. But to make it up, she was given The Reveal for the fact that magical girls in her world will turn into Witches.
• Archer tends to ask about her idol, Mami Tomoe, and her... Unlimited Musket Works. Wonders if he can add her flintlocks and Sayaka's Cutlasses to his collection. Sayaka, for her part, listens to his many stories with interest.... if she, Archer and Shirou happen to be in the same room, things get interesting.
• If not in this house, Sayaka can be found in the House of Music, listening to a violin recital of Ave Maria. Sayaka is known to cry while she enjoys the song, says it's her last memory of "him".
• Sayaka quickly became a good friends with Miki Aono, not just on the voice, but she was impressed on Miki's resolve and success as a Magical Girl, and occasionally wished that she might've been reborn in a similar universe like hers. The fact that Miki instead understood Sayaka's plight instead of flaunting her more fortunate life, and also not blaming her and knowing that it's the machinations of Kyubey that is to blame, made things even smoother.
• Recently accepted the tutelage of one Master Ip Man, who although admires and respects Sayaka's stuanch devotion to justice, constantly reminds his new student to not lose sight of family and friendship in her devotion to the good-fight.
• She's also become close friends with Isaac Clarke. They've bonded over commonalities such as fighting horrific monsters, enduring Sanity Slippage, and taking levels in badass.
• While she doesn't hold any true antagonistic feelings for the knight, Mordred opposes her due to reminding her of the person she once was before learning a terrible truth, [[spoiler: and is secretly jealous she managed to eventually move past her failings
• There was time when she didn't know what to think about Homura of the Crimson Squad, not only for her name, but her voice.
