Pantheon Life And Death Discussion
For your consideration.
Donald Mallard, God of Medical Examiners (Dr. Mallard, Ducky)
I'm debating if he's worthy of demigod status, personally.
- Quasideity
- Symbol: A liver probe, alternately his bowtie
- Alignment: Lawful Good
- Portfolio: The Coroner, Bunny Ears Lawyer, Talking To The Dead, Bow Ties Are Cool, Creepy Mortician
- Domain: Death, Medicine, Psychiatry, Trivia
- Allies: Gibbs, Death of the Endless
- Has the tendancy to monologe about topics barely relevent to what the previous or current conversation.
- Is often called on in the house of Justice for autopsy before the victim is revived/reincarnated. No one has commented yet if they heard Ducky talking to them while operating.
- Is considered one of Agent Gibbs' beast assets for making perps sweat in case he ever runs into a dead end.
I'm debating if he's worthy of demigod status, personally.
Is there a god for Skeletons In The Closet? If not, can I suggest Vordred the Paladin Slayer from Adventure Quest Worlds? He was specifically created to kill Artix and become the Champion of Darkness and his skull based armor can absorb all light-based spells. It also help give Daniel Fortesque a good enemy.
I question Maimi being labeled as the Goddess of Early Deaths, yet is hotlinked to Sacrificial Lamb, when she is really more of a Sacrificial Lion. And if there should be a separate god for Sacrificial Lion, I would recommend Eddard Stark from A Song Of Ice And Fire.
Eddard 'Ned' Stark God of Surprise Deaths [[ (Warden of the North, Lord of Winterfell, Hand of the King)
- Theme Song: House Stark
- Rank: Lesser God
- Symbol: The Sigil of House Stark, a Grey Direwolf
- Alignment: Good
- Portfolio: Honor Before Reason, Sacrificial Lion, Anyone Can Die
- Domains: Death, Honor, Fatherhood
- Followers: The Lords of the North,
- Allies: Mami Tomoe
- Enemies:
- High Priest: Robb Stark
- Despite having ascended to godhood himself, he still has a godswood in his domain that he prays to. He doesn't see himself worthy of being a god in his own eyes, and still holds the old gods as higher than him.
- As he was horrified to find that a girl as young as her met a similar fate to him he decided to act as surrogate father to Mami Tomoe. Ned feels that she reminds her of his own daughters
Where does Dr. Kiriko fit in this House?
I'd like to propose an idea for a God of Serial Killers. Here's what I have in mind.
Jack The Ripper, God of Serial Killers (The Whitechapel Murderer, Leather Apron, and various identities across The Multiverse)
- Lesser God
- Symbol: a shadowy man wearing a top hat and cloak.
- Alignment: Chaotic Evil
- Potfolio: Unsolved Mysteries, Shrouded In Myth, Left-Handed Killers, NOT Disposable Sex Workers, Historical In-Jokes about Victorian London
- Domains: Death, Terror, Darkness, Murder
- The legendary serial killer who once stalked the streets of London at the end of the Nineteenth Century. Now he stalks the grounds of the Pantheon as the God of Serial Killers.
- No one knows who Jack The Ripper's real idenitity was in Real Life and theories about who he was are numerous. In the pantheon this gave him an extraordinary power, the ability shapeshift into any incarnation of the legend of Jack The Ripper he wants to be. Given the influence he's had, there are many versions of him (or her, or it depending the universe) across The Multiverse to choose from.
- Dispite his reputation, many of Jack's incarnations are often on the recieving end of an ass-kicking or working as a minor underling to someone else.
"Years from now, people will look back and say I gave birth to the 20th century..." -Jack The Ripper upon ascension
I'd like to propose Epsilon as a God of Rebirth by Memory. This is what I have so far.
Epsilon, God of Rebirth by Memory (Leonard Church)
- Lesser God
- Symbol: The Greek letter "Epsilon"
- Allignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: Memory, taking levels in kindness, still being a rotten shot with a sniper rifle, a walking Late Arrival Spoiler
- Domain: Memory, Undead, Robot, Artificial Intelligence
- Followers: Michael J. Caboose, who helped him ascend to semi-godhood once.
- Allies: Agent Carolina, Primus and his followers (Epsilon fully accepts his own identity as a robot), Kamina (who likes Epsilon's attitude compared to Alpha's)
- Enemies: The Director of Project Freelancer, Kyubey, Bernkastel
- Rivals: Alpha
- While Epsilon was always the Living Memory of Alpha, he never really ascended until he managed to unlock all of Alpha's memories (even the ones that Alpha doesn't remember).
- Though he is a Nice Guy, Epsilon does have a Berserk Button in the form of people with a penchant for emotional torture, as they bring back horrible memories. When he gets angry, he starts ranting and grows to a massive size. Since that pushed his friends away once, Epsilon is trying to control it.
- Since the Incubators are known for harvesting emotion for their goals, and Alpha was fragmented due to an induced despair, Epsilon has a dislike towards the Incubators.
- Has a rival in Alpha, his original self. The two are scheduled to have a sniper duel in the House of Combat. Don't expect either of them to actually hit the other.
Ok, how about Andrew Hussie as god of character killing. and rekilling. then killing the ghosts of said twice-dead characters.
I realize that we haven't gotten a deity for I Let Gwen Stacy Die... Seriously, it's one trope we need a rep for. But what kind of name would it get, one name that doesn't invoke the Trope Namer? "Anguish-causing Deaths"?
And then there's the candidates. I can only think of...
- Gwen Stacy, the Trope Namer.
- Iris, cause of Zero's epic Heroic BSOD (and also got a little... off-putting thanks to the English dub), and remains a darkhorse in X series to the point of even included in Project X Zone.
Do we have anyone who guides the souls of the dead? Because I was thinking we could add the Reapers from Kid Icarus Uprising as "Soul Carriers of the Dead."
Has anyone heard of The Crow? I think he should be part of the Pantheon like he's the God of Resurrected For A Job or something. Any takers on that?
I see that there isn't a God of Necromancy. How about Johann Faust VIII?
Portfolio:
Johann Faust VIII, God of Necromancy and Loving the Dead
- Intermediate God
- Symbol: His distinctive weapon, which is somewhere between a Sinister Scythe and an axe
- Allignment: Chaotic Good / Chaotic Neutral
- Portfolio: Badass Bookworm, Mad Doctor, Combat Medic, Being Awesome While Being Terrifying, Being Unsettling Even After A Heel Face Turn, Never Giving Up On Resurrecting His Dead Wife, Love-Driven Madness, Dark Is Not Evil, Sociopathic Heroes Who Grow Out Of It
- Domains: Death, Love, Medicine, Romantic Loyalty
- Allies: Yoh, Anna
- Followers: Gendo Ikari, Maximillion Pegasus, Jade Curtiss; Shinra Kishitani (in terms of being a Mad Doctor and a complete Determinator in getting his Love Interest Celty to like him back)
- Enemies: Anyone who dares insult or attack his wife Eliza; also, anyone who would hurt their own loved ones - Relius Clover in particular, for turning his own wife into a puppet.
- Despite that they admire his success and are his biggest followers, Faust does not get on well with Gendo Ikari and Maximillion Pegasus. While he does approve of their resolve in seeking reunion with Yui and Cecilia, he detests their methods and how overly complicated they make things.
- When he found out about Shinji Ikari's rampage to get Rei back, he had mixed feelings - again, he approved of Shinji finally growing a spine and putting his own humanity on the line for love... but at the same time, he believes that causing The End Of The World As We Know It is going a bit too far. Nevertheless, Faust understands that Shinji (probably) didn't intend to initiate Third Impact, and so it evens out.
- Upon learning of what Relius Clover did to Ignis, Faust immediately set out on a Roaring Rampage Of Revenge, as turning one's own lover into a machine is simply unforgivable and offends every fiber of his being.
- Faust applauds Jade Curtiss for his brilliance and inventing fomicry, but wishes that the latter scientist would put his brilliance to the use of advancing modern medicine, and also harshly scolds him for having given up on resurrecting his mentor.
I would like to propose an entry for Ridley as The Unkillable. I know we've got Rasputin, Kenny, and Kyosuke for Rasputinian Death, Back From The Dead, and Surviving That, but then Ridley pretty much combines the latter two.
Entry going something like this:
Ridley The Unkillable
- Intermediate God
- Symbol: His head.
- Alignment: Chaotic Evil
- Portfolio: Joker Immunity, That One Boss, Continuing to Exist Despite Getting Killed, Surviving That, Being A Complete Monster For The Evulz, Arch Enemy, Instant Awesome Just Add Dragons, Axe Crazy, Being a Badass
- Domains: Battle, Evil, Destruction, Conquest
- Followers: Kraid, The Space Pirates, and occasionally Metroids, Sigma; Is himself one of The Joker and Mother Brain.
- Allies: Gauron, Ganondorf, Jean Grey (as Dark Phoenix), pretty much anyone who routinely Survives That and/or uses the afterlife as a revolving door.
- Arch Enemy: Samus Aran.
- Is one of the few who can regularly go head-to-head with Samus Aran, and no matter how hard she kills him, he still somehow survives it to hunt her down again, although it seems that he may have finally learned his lesson not to mess with her.
- Is in a contest with Kyosuke Nanbu to see who's better at Surviving That. Ridley's currently winning, if only because he's survived Planetary Explosions.
I wonder why the Shinigami from Kuroshitsuji aren't in this list? They certainly are more like Psychopomps than Ichigo ever was, of the three we have seen.
I notice there is no God of Glorious Deaths. Does anyone else feel that this should be addressed?
