| 33 | * Symbol: The silhouette of a flower in the blue water |

| 37 | * Domains: Underwater, Fish and Other Sea-life, Krabby Patties, Boating |
| 38 | * Sacred to: Almost all deities from Pantheon/SpongeBobSquarePants |
| 39 | * Banned entry: [[Pantheon/{{Toxicity}} Hexxus]] |
| 40 | * Bane: [[Pantheon/OthernessAbominations The Cyclops]] |
| 41 | * In Bikini Atoll there is a small island with a palm tree, marking a small city underneath the sea called Bikini Bottom. With a standard population of 538, it's home [[Pantheon/{{Advertising}} to the world's most famous sea sponge]] and the famed Krabby Patty. While a generally happy place, one should be careful of [[ComedicSociopathy some of its dark humor]]. While being underwater, [[WaterIsAir it has more in common with human society than should work]]. Electricity functions the same, weather is apparently a thing and fish walk. Though the rules of physics start to have an effect [[LampshadeHanging if you try to point it out]] like wondering how a fire can work underwater. Or try to write a letter, which will be ruined and chastised at [[HypocriticalHumor before being thrown in said fire]]. |
| 42 | * The easy part of adding Bikini Bottom to the Trope Pantheon was locating it; there's a cruise ship from the Hall of Pantheon/LandAndSeaTravel that lets you get to Bikini Atoll, and a boat house has been constructed next to it. The hard part for most deities is reaching Bikini Bottom, since it's not just about having a diver suit. Part of why the Cyclops is terrifying is that [[HumansAreCthulhu human beings are gigantic compared to the residents]], with Spongebob himself being shorter than a banana. [[Pantheon/LandAndSeaTravel Captain Nemo's submarine]] has been described as "some sort of alien mothership" by the populace. The House of Pantheon/{{Shape}} has [[Pantheon/{{Sizes}} Hank Pym and Ray Palmer]] available to shrink people down to size, though admits human deities might get weird looks for "[[HumansAreUgly looking like ugly fish]]". The House of Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology has made some money with small, realistic (albeit with the same humanoid proportions of the residents) fish, crab, starfish and cephalopod robots to use as inconspicuous avatars so as to not look out of place. |
| 43 | * Found in the Pacific, but similar in some respects to Atlantica, which is located in the Atlantic. As they're guided by Neptune and [[Pantheon/{{Anger}} Triton]] specifically, there may be some further relationship deep in both aquatic nation's history. [[Pantheon/BladedWeapons Poseidon]] isn't too sure himself, as he's still undecided on if King Triton is the same as his son Triton. Bikini Bottom has a mayor, and to drum up tourism she has tried to showcase the sights of the underwater city. [[Pantheon/AquaticLife For Mr Krabs]] this was time to make bank, jacking up the prices of Krabby Patties for outsiders to Bikini Bottom while selling the Krusty Krab as "the best fast food in the seven seas!" King Triton wasn't impressed, as he pointed out that "isn't Bikini Bottom the ''only'' place underwater with fast food?" This still hasn't stopped Atlantica residents from visiting just for the Krabby Patty, since it really is that good a burger. |
| 44 | * It's ambiguous where Bikini Bottom stands between being a city-state, and being part of a larger nation. It has a mayor but King Neptune rules over it, though that might just be down to him being king of the sea. Said King Neptune is an iteration of the Roman god Neptune, better known as the aforementioned Poseidon. In a way, he's [[GodEmperor a god-king of Bikini Bottom]] though most Bikini Bottomites care more about the king part than the god. Poseidon has made it ''very clear'' to other LordOfTheOcean he's the top dog here. He may be on decent enough terms with [[Pantheon/FantasticRaces Arthur Curry]] and [[Pantheon/{{Heirs}} Orm the Ocean Master]], respecting their efforts protecting the sea, but makes it clear they are not allowed to order around the Bikini Bottomites. His people can respect them, yes, but this is his turf. He's even butted heads with his brother [[Pantheon/{{Electricity}} Zeus]] over this issue, leading to some second hand embarrassment from the latter. |
| 45 | -->'''Zeus''': ''"Dude, we already sorted out who's in charge of what millennia ago! Stop being so insecure!"'' |
| 46 | * [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie Perhaps Plankton's greatest, most evil scheme, Plan Z, saw him usurp control of Bikini Bottom]] with mind-control bucket helmets. Usually he's not ''that'' evil, though it's not like he regrets it...outside of the fact it has given some other deities their own ideas of conquests. [[Pantheon/{{Logic}} The fish Joe]] and [[Pantheon/{{Categorism}} Fishman Hody Jones]] know that the human diver they call "the Cyclops" [[TheDreaded is a fearsome monster to the populace]], and for them he's a good excuse to stir up anti-human sentiment. Hody wants to inspire Bikini Bottom to rise up and fight against the human race, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist hiding his Fishman supremacist spiel with the lie of wanting to protect the city]]. Joe wishes to bring up the potential of the already sentient residents. His hopes is with the right amount of fish antidote, he can make the Bikini Bottomites super-geniuses. Their efforts haven't amounted to much, though, as the residents lack the context to buy into their claims. |
| 47 | * There are aquatic deities in the Trope Pantheon who ''do not'' fall under the WaterIsAir trope, and rather than become subject to it in Bikini Bottom they actually keep most of their own water physics. To many Bikini Bottomites, their ability to actually swim comes off like a miracle of flight. [[Pantheon/PlotArchetypes Marlin, Nemo and Dory]] once went to Bikini Bottom as part of a vacation and found there was a novelty in it. There was a bit of a panic when Marlin ended up getting some fire on him, but it was doused [[PuffOfLogic the moment he pointed out fire shouldn't be possible]]. [[Pantheon/ExtrovertCharacterization Hermes]] thought its WaterIsAir attributes might explain how Zoidberg's burned down underwater, but that couldn't be the case since Atlanta was in the Atlantic. Or as Hermes himself put it "that raises even further questions!" While [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Mario]] and [[Pantheon/{{Characterization}} Luigi]] still end up moving sluggishly in Bikini Bottom, their otherwise full adherence to WaterIsAir means it's business as normal for them. Sandy is perplexed by [[SuperNotDrowningSkills the fact they don't even need an air supply]]. |
| 48 | * One of the more puzzling places for human divers to visit is Goo Lagoon...that's right, a lagoon exists underwater for the residents to swim in...under-''under'' water, perhaps? Surprisingly enough [[ShownTheirWork there are apparent underwater pools]] like cold seeps and brine pools...though real brine pools are considerably more hostile for most organisms. That said, many still say it's a stretch, and the idea it "makes sense" was not helped by the time [[Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture Chaos Zero]] showed up, somehow not altered by the sea water around them. However their hydrokinetic powers still let them manipulate the water and current around them, becoming even more formidable than on land. Occasionally there's odd purple goo that emerges from Goo Lagoon, which is possibly algae bubbles or pollution. That said, [[WebVideo/GameTheory one individual]] [[https://youtu.be/lbTT5l-J95E believes the purple goo is something more morbid]]; [[spoiler:[[{{Squick}} jellyfish corpses]] ]]. |
| 49 | * There's a large variety of humanoid, sentient animals in Bikini Bottom, but not all sea creatures are sapient. Some like sea urchins are no different from normal, making them "boring conversation" for [[Pantheon/AquaticLife Pincurchin]]. The city's residents are more terrified of him than anything due to his [[ShockAndAwe Electric type]]. Somewhere in the middle you have clams and jellyfish, who are definitely smarter than the regular version but take the role of birds and bees respectively[[note]]though again, jellies are closer to birds in intellect[[/note]]. Jellyfish Field is over 50 miles wide and home to over 4 million jellyfish, who make jam-like jelly. It's a popular place for people to relax and playing jellyfishing. Some entertainment areas include the Glove World theme park (sometimes Glove Universe) and the Fry Cook museum. Besides the Krabby Patty, another signature cuisine is the Goofy Goober's ice cream parlor. And if you're really tough, there's always the Salty Spittoon to check out. |
| 50 | * Heavily opposes littering, to the point most visitors see it as [[DisproportionateRetribution disproportionate]]. Captain Planet have pointed out garbage and pollution is a lot more deadly to underwater life than land life so it's not an unjustified status; Hexxus has been permanently banned from ever entering Bikini Bottom for this reason. Asides from Sandy the residents are unaware Bikini Atoll was a nuclear test site, which some have speculated its citizens are mutants as a result of the atomic blast. The fact it has had sentient sea-life since the prehistoric era seems to disprove this, though this doesn't stop people claiming it's true. That being said, once every century a green anomaly called "Neptune's moon" shows up to mutate aquatic life into their more primitive, realistic forms. Testing by [[Pantheon/SourcesOfInformation the SCP Foundation]] show that its radiation can regress fishmen like [[Pantheon/{{Categorism}} Fisher Tiger]] and [[Pantheon/FantasticRaces the Gill-Man]] in the same way. The following "Neptune's sun" has the same effect on land dwellers. |
| 51 | * [[Pantheon/{{Laughter}} Beavis and Butt-Head]] regularly visit Bikini Bottom, not because they're a fan of ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' but because [[HehHehYouSaidX of the name]]. It's a joke lost on everyone there except the land-dweller [[Pantheon/{{Regionalities}} Sandy]], [[ActuallyPrettyFunny who chuckled a bit]] before being they made jokes about her full name of Sandy ''Cheeks'', and the joke would quickly grow stale anyway. It's not like the Bikini part has anything to do with what they're thinking of anyway, though it's also not like they'd be mature or smart enough to know that. On a side note, for land dwellers wanting to take off their underwater suit, you might want to pay Sandy's treedome a visit. It's for free, but she has tried to make a buck by selling Texan memorabilia and inventions. |

| 68 | * The Millennium Items date back over 3000 years, commissioned by the pharaoh Akhenamekhanen to protect Anceint Egypt from an invading army. Made by his brother Akhenaden, these seven items had various powers, all sharing the ability to perform the dangerous Shadow Games. Their creation was soaked in blood, however; the 99 residents of the thief town Kul Elna were sacrificed to make them. This was the StartOfDarkness for the Thief King, and it's what allowed the monster Zorc Necrophades to begin his scheme to cover the world in darkness. The Nameless Pharaoh sealed the darkness away, and eventually the items would be dug up in the modern day. |
| 69 | * Applies to the artifacts as a whole |
| 70 | ** Following the passing the Nameless Pharaoh [[spoiler:true name Atem]], the items were buried deep underground...[[Anime/YuGiOhTheDarkSideOfDimensions at least until Kaiba dug them up]] as part of his scheme to have one last, definitive duel with his rival. [[TheUnreveal He refuses to go into detail as to how that went]], instead having Kaiba Corp make a delivery of the Millennium Items to the Great Treasury. Interviewers attempted to get an answer for why but he wasn't available for an answer. The only thing known is that before the overhaul of the treasury they used to be artifacts in the pantheon, but were removed in the overhaul for some beauacratic reasons. The current display is supposed to have all seven, but the Millennium Ring is almost always missing from it because it is taken/linked to Yami Bakura. The Millennium Puzzle is normally on loan with Yugi, due to its ties to the Nameless Pharaoh. While the other Millennium Items can be loaned to other deities, permission is required and they are items not to be trifled with. |
| 71 | ** Created from blood sacrifice following instructions of the Millennium Spellbook, together the seven items have the ability to summon Zorc Necrophades to the mortal world. Their ability to initiate Shadow Games and dark magic associated with them gives the items great potential for evil, though except for the Millennium Ring none of the items are evil persay. A comparison could be made with the ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' with how the Philosopher's Stone is made, [[spoiler:except the Items [[AndIMustScream don't contain still-screaming souls]].]] The Elric brothers and their father are trying to make sure Father and his homunculi don't try to pilfer the items, and make sure if the Spellbook is ever ascended it's kept lock and key to make sure nobody tries to make more Millennium Items. There is a rule against using the Millennium Items in the House of Pantheon/{{Gaming}} to prevent any Shadow Games, and even outside of that their abilities would allow someone to cheat at the games. The D'arby brothers think it's a silly rule given their own abilities are similar to the Shadow Games, and despite everything they've done their position in their house is secured. |
| 72 | ** According to Shadi three items (the Key, Scale and Necklace) represent justice, three items (the Ring, Rod and Eye) are weak to evil and the Puzzle represents both evil and justice. Because of their dark background and potential for evil they're of interest to the [[Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfEvil GUAE]] and the [[Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood GUAG]]. Also, their dark history has been yet more fodder for [[Pantheon/{{Hats}} Linkara's]] jokes about how Ancient Egypt is evil[[note]]cue [[Franchise/StarWars the Imperial March]][[/note]]. They're of more interest to the House of Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery, mainly because the various members of the house are seeking to use their powers for good, ill or just because they're useful. The House of Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem, namely its {{Psychopomp}} leaders, feel they should keep an eye as all together the seven Millennium Items are a necessary part in allowing the other Yugi to move on to the next life. |
| 73 | ** The items do not respond well to the unworthy, usually killing them (sometimes [[FateWorseThanDeath worse]]). Indiana Jones was pretty GenreSavvy in treating the Millennium Items gingerly, emphasizing that they belong in the pantheon's museum and should be kept in the Great Treasury. Any discussion with him that they should have their power combined with another artifact just frustrates him. Some [[Website/SCPFoundation D-Class schmuck]] was given a test to bring the Key near the Ark of the Convenant, [[HolyIsNotSafe which ended with him and the foolish researches who ordered it becoming pillars of salt]]...[[BlatantLies who'd have thought]] [[BerserkButton the Abrahamic God wouldn't like these blood sacrifice Egyptian relics near the Ark?]] [[Pantheon/UnlivingBeings Ahkmenrah]] has stated that he wants them to be kept separate from his Tablet as he's wary of how they might affect another Egyptian magical artifact. |
| 74 | * Applies to the artifacts individually |
| 75 | ** The Millennium Puzzle and Ring are unique since, as already mentioned, they contain the spirits of people. The Puzzle is notoriously hard to solve in large part due to Yami Yugi's influence and has a more general purpose of enhancing skill, accessing and protecting from magic. The Ring can find what the wielder is looking for like a compass, but benefits are outweighed by the malignant evil in the item. [[Anime/YuGiOhTheDarkSideOfDimensions Even without Zorc or the Thief King, it's still corruptive]]. Voldemort was fascinated by these items since they work as a sort of [[SoulJar Horcrux variant]], though the abilities and how they function as "horcruxes" is somewhat different. He doesn't intend to steal them because he can't make a horcrux over something already "occupied" like they are, but it has inspired him to try and steal the other Millennium Items and make ''them'' horcruxes. Zorc is intrigued by this since it could allow him to influence Voldemort, but he and by extension Yami Bakura refuse to let him co-opt the artifacts. |
| 76 | ** The Millennium Eye lets you read people's minds. Admittedly useless for telepaths like [[Pantheon/SpiritualAndMentalPowers the Martian Manhunter]] unless you want to play a Shadow Game, but pretty useful for anyone ''wanting'' telepathy. It's only got two downsides. One, if someone can pull a MemoryGambit like flipping between different personalities they can cheat the system. Two, [[EyeScream it requires an empty eye socket]]. This wasn't a problem for Bender that time he managed to steal the Eye, calling Pegasus "a lightweight meatbag" as he could just unscrew one of his eyes and plug the artifact in. He freaked out a bit when [[Recap/FuturamaS1E10AFlightToRemember he saw the spirit of the Countess de la Roca]], much as how Pegasus saw a vision of his lost love, but got over it. Bender almost won a big poker game until he went up against Fry, who's mind still couldn't be read even with a magic artifact. The Eye was later recovered from a nearby trash can and returned to the museum. |
| 77 | ** The Millennium Rod has [[BadPowersBadPeople perhaps the most potential for evil]] since not only is it used for mind control, but it also has a sharp end to stab people with. Marik set up a rumor that [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries it can only control people named Steve and can be used as a lightsaber]], but no-one really bought it and he admitted [[ItAmusedMe he made it up for a lark]]. However, strong enough HeroicWillpower can allow one to break out of control. The Hall of Pantheon/MindControl wonders if their own techniques could somehow enhance the item. Death Phantom muses that compared to his own power of MindManipulation, it might as well be glorified metal, but Jervis Tetch thinks it's a neat secondary means of control and looks fashionable. There was a test to see if it could entrance someone already entranced by the Hypnotoad; it succeeded, but the Hypnotoad simply stared and mind controlled |
| 78 | ** The Millennium Necklace's role was formerly used by Ishizu Ishatar, and way back in the day her previous life Isis. No, not the goddess, she just happened to share the name. The actual goddess is interested in it, but more as a glorified piece of jewelry as her own divine powers overshadow the Necklace. It's main ability is to see the future, and also the past. However it still has its limits, and its abilities are obscured by other millennium items. Though Ishizu never had any intent to use it for Shadow Games, if she ascends she still cannot be expected to use it in the House of Pantheon/{{Gaming}} as it could be seen as a form of cheating. How effective the Necklace is can fluctuate wildly; tests from the House of Pantheon/{{Prophecy}} shows it's highly effective in [[YouCantFightFate deterministic]] settings but useless in [[ScrewDestiny ones that break fate]]. Anyone wearing it within the House of Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality will suffer a migraine due to the conflicting laws of time inevitably present there. |
| 79 | ** The Millennium Key stands as the only Item to lack the eye symbol on it. It allows you to unlock and enter somebody's mind. It's comparable to what the Phantom Thieves and Razputin Aquato are capable of, however Yami Yugi's amnesia caused his mind to come off as some labyrinth. Some poor Arkham guard tried to use the Key to enter [[Pantheon/{{Laughter}} the Joker's mind]] in order to figure out what was wrong with him, [[AMindIsATerribleThingToRead only to be lost in a maddening MC Escher-esque carnival]]. [[FateWorseThanDeath Perhaps he should've been found as unworthy by the Key]]. |
| 80 | ** The Millennium Scale is perhaps the least explored of the Items, and like the Key was primarily in possession of the enigmatic Shadi. can weigh a person's sin against the Feather of Ma'at. While extremely evil hearts like Yami Bakura and probably the Joker too overwhelm it, most wicked souls can expect to face the wrath of Ammit eating them. Anubis has dryly mused that the Millennium Scale is basically a knock-off of the ScalesOfJustice he and Osiris use to judge the dead, jokingly wondering if they should sue for plagiarism. |
| 81 | ** [[Anime/YuGiOhTheMoviePyramidOfLight The Pyramid of Light]] and [[Anime/YuGiOhTheDarkSideOfDimensions Quantum Cube]] are considered by some unofficial Millennium Items, but aren't listed in the canon seven so they aren't officially listed in the Great Treasury. The former is basically an in-universe [[EvilKnockoff knock-off of the Puzzle]] that got co-opted by the sorcerer Anubis for his own purposes, also acting as a SoulJar. The actual Anubis is embarrassed by the whole thing since he doesn't like some GenericDoomsdayVillain [[EverybodyHatesHades giving him a bad name]]. The latter is "semi-official", and can send others to another dimension where they're doomed to disintegrate. [[Pantheon/SourcesOfInformation Some SCP Foundation agents]] argued it should somehow join the canon seven, only to sheepishly admit it's yet another scheme to terminate [[Pantheon/{{Psyches}} SCP-682]]. |

| 102 | * Annoyed by: [[Pantheon/BusinessesAndCorporations Bubs]] |
| 103 | * Suguroku Muto (or Solomon Moto [[DubNameChange if you're watching the English dub]]) is the grandfather of famed duelist Yugi Muto and owner of the Kame Game shop. In his youth he was an archeologist who visited the Valley of the Kings in hopes of finding the tomb of the Nameless Pharaoh [[spoiler:aka Pharaoh Atem]], being the one to find the Millennium Puzzle, though he was never able to solve it. Interestingly, in a past life he was that pharaoh's Grand Vizier, Shimon Muran, and wielded Exodia. Suguroku is a skilled player of games and a gambler who rarely lost, though one of the few times he did it led to him wearing overalls and retiring. Now he's content running his game shop, and serving as a mentor for his grandson Yugi. Occasionally he has gone out to play Duel Monsters like dueling with Jonouchi in [=KaibaCorps=] Grand Prix. |
| 104 | * Yugi's grandfather was minded his own business, taking care of his shop on a quiet day where there weren't many customers. Everything seemed normal until he opened his mailbox and discovered an invitation to something called the Trope Pantheon. [[ItMakesSenseInContext After the VHS tape Pegasus sent led to his soul getting stolen]] he was suspicious and asked Yugi if he knew if a trick was afoot, only to be informed that it was the same thing he and many of both his allies and enemies had joined. As a character defined by their familial relationship to another character, he was under consideration for the trope of SatelliteFamilyMember. Suguroku may be in his seventies but he's not [[TechnologicallyBlindElders technologically blind]] and quickly adapted to using TV Tropes. His temple is Kame House, technically part of the House of Family and Relatives but functionally part of the House of Pantheon/{{Gaming}} as that's where his revenue comes from. For deities wanting to play Duel Monsters he's usually the one to check if they're looking for a more humble and friendly game shop. |
| 105 | * He had met Judai/Jaden and friends "the long way round" at his card shop [[Anime/YuGiOhGX where even in his eighties he still was as chipper maintaining his shop]]. Sugoroku is generally friendly and doesn't hold a grudge, though he's still somewhat sore around Seto Kaiba and Pegasus; the former beat him and destroyed his Blue Eyes card, leading to him going to the hospital, and the latter stole his soul as part of his scheme. He's on speaking terms with them because they ultimately turned a new leaf, but they're otherwise neutral. Ultimately he only really opposes the unrepentant villains who threatened his grandson (and the world, given the scope of their plans). Yugi's grandfather is on really good terms with Exodia, interestingly enough. As mentioned, his previous life in Ancient Egypt had Exodia as his ''ka'', and he used to have Exodia in his playset. |
| 106 | * While he's retired from the archeology business, he still knows his stuff about Egypt and has stories to share with other archeologists. Him and Indiana Jones have become good friends discussing their past adventures, though Suguroku readily admits Indy has seen a lot more than he was able to. Him and Simon Petrikov are also friends, the latter having been an antiquarian who had studied some magical artifacts...sadly he spent the better part of a millennium driven crazy by one of them. With all the things he's seen of the Millennium Items and Shadow Games, he wasn't exactly surprised to learn the Egyptian gods were all too real in the Trope Pantheon. He's become quite interested in learning more about them, alongside the many pharaohs present asides from the Nameless Pharaoh. He's especially interested in Ahkmenrah, a ChummyMummy who was brought to the land of the living thanks to [[Pantheon/ArtifactsLibrary a magical Egyptian artifact]]...he reminds the old man of Yami Yugi. |
| 107 | * Suguroku's shop being called "Kame Game", basically translating to "Turtle Game", reminds a good amount of people of Muten Roshi. There's more than a few similarities between them; both are old, wise mentors of the protagonist, though Roshi has more of a role as the mentor, and they're both [[DirtyOldMan perverts]]. This isn't as obvious with Yugi's grandpa as his lechery [[CharacterizationMarchesOn was more an early characterization]], but his interest in [[AnimeChineseGirl Vivian Wong]] and Otogi's cheerleaders wasn't exactly innocent. [[EveryoneHasStandards He still thinks Roshi is pervy]], though to the older man's credit he's become better at controlling his lust. While they sometimes chat about beautiful women, most of the time they talk about their life experiences and how to give advice to those they care about. Roshi has decided to learn from him how to play Duel Monsters as a hobby. |
| 108 | * He has somewhat of a rivalry with Comic Book Guy, come their mutual roles in the House of Pantheon/{{Commerce}}. He owns a major comic book shop of the Trope Pantheon, and Suguroku owns a major game shop. Comic Book Guy keeps trying to push advertisement for his shop over the old man, trying to get more customers. He was a bit annoyed to see a regular like [[Pantheon/JokesAndPranks Bart Simpson]] start to spend more pocket change at the Kame Game shop, causing the old man to quip "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS12E11WorstEpisodeEver didn't you ban him?]]" Jeff simply responded with "we worked that out". While Yugi's grandpa is a bit exasperated by how much of a jerk Comic Book Guy can be, their rivalry is a harmless one and they'll sometimes show up at each other's shop to buy stuff from one another. Occasionally they meet up and chat, and/or snark, at the Kwik-e-Mart. Him and Apu seem to get along as small businessmen. |
| 109 | * Brand X attempted to exploit the old man in hopes of pushing their awful, awful food products. Why him? Simply put, they wanted to look more appealing and "human". They propositioned him with an idea of becoming a promoter for Brand X food, by tying them with the games he sold. Suspecting them from the start, he asked the representative "could you taste test your food first?" That representative was nervous [[LethalChef since he knew what their food taste like]], so instead he decided to gamble and say "OK, let's decide it over poker. You win, I'll taste test it and we'll leave you alone forever. I win, you sell your game shop to us and we turn it into a market". Unfortunately for that representative Suguroku was a very lucky gambler and took some pride in seeing [[HoistByHisOwnPetard the representative prove how bad that proposal would've been for him]]. |
| 110 | * As he's a friendly old man with a humble job, it's hard to really piss him off. [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Make jokes about him lusting over Black Luster Soldier]] and he'll just go "ah, I see you're a fan of that abridged series". Some people do piss him off, though. Though a bit of a pervert, he's far from the creep that Nobuyuki Sugou is. His abuse of the virtual world's gaming system and general sleaze-baggery made him permanently blacklisted from Kame Game. No, the fact he has no interest in Duel Monsters or the other games at his shop doesn't change that. He's definitely not a fan of Yoshihiro Kira either. For one, he's worried his Stand ability might cause some chaos if he gets access to Duel Monster cards, despite Yoshihiro saying "that's not how my Stand works [[HypocriticalHumor you old fool!]]" More seriously, Yoshihiro is aiding and enabling his SerialKiller of a son and making Morioh a less safe place. The ghostly Stand user tried to defend his actions by saying he's making up for his wife's abuse[[note]]according to Araki's comments; it's not mentioned in the manga to avoid making Kira too sympathetic[[/note]], only for Sugoroku [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse to say that's a BS excuse]]. |
| 111 | * While an expert gambler, Sugoroku Muto knows that eventually, your luck will run out. This is but one of many reasons why he has absolutely no interest in playing any game with the D'arby brothers, who he's naturally horrified [[LostHimInACardGame by them gambling with human lives]]. Daniel at least finds his refusal to duel unfortunate, [[VillainRespect since he respect for his skill]], but Telence is just an ass so he doesn't care. Yugi is glad they aren't trying to antagonize his grandpa outright since the way their Stands work is highly reminiscent of a Shadow Game. However Sugoroku is fine gambling for smaller wagers like a chocolate milkshake. Him and Tsunade decided to gamble over who pays for a month's worth of bento boxes with a game of Duel Monsters...Sugoroku won, though she insists that this was unfair because it was her first time playing Duel Monsters. [[FriendlyRivalry They'll still make friendly wagers, just with more fair games]]. |
| 112 | * Has a bit of a complicated opinion on Grunkle Stan. Sugoroku sees him as a troublemaker, a swindler a washout...but also a good friend, who reminds him of some of the stuff he got up to back in the day. Stan wishes that he did more higher stake gambling with him and [[HypocriticalHumor thinks he's a bit of a washout]], but this comes off more as friendly ribbing. While Yugi's grandfather is annoyed by Bubs and his swindling ways, he sees in Stan Pines a more devious version of himself but really fun company, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold who'll prove his worth when he needs to]]. |

| 134 | * Hans Landa was one of Hitler's best agents. A member of the SS, he was known as "the Jew Hunter" for his ability to hunt and find Jews, stating this is because he doesn't simply hate them and can think like them. He was an important figure in helping the Nazis fight the Basterds and could easily detect a liar, however he's hardly a zealot of their ideology and at his core he's an opportunist. When the winds turned against him he would collaborate with their plan to assassinate the Nazi high command, under the conditions that [[WrittenByTheWinners he would be whitewashed in the history books and his own crimes ignored]], with him retiring to Nantucket Island. [[AlternateHistory The assassination worked]], and Hans would go on to solve a series of murders as an amateur master detective. Of course, Lt. Aldo Raine refused to let him get away scot-free, [[LoopholeAbuse and while he couldn't kill him there was another method of inflicting karma]]. [[MarkOfShame Something he couldn't take off]]...so a swatiska was carved in his forehead, branding him as a Nazi. He will constantly be afraid of what people will say about or do to him in response. |
| 135 | * Could be described [[NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed as a less influential but just as Machiavellian Reinhard Heydrich]], [[ExpyCoexistence something he's remarked on]]. He was just as ruthless and cold-blooded, though rather than be assassinated he managed to do what many folded into Operation Paperclip achieved. A KarmaHoudini [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty albeit not entirely]], Hans Landa [[LoveToHate has been well-remembered as a villain]] and so he was in consideration for a position in the Trope Pantheon. As he would get a special punishment via LoopholeAbuse, despite his earnest attempts to escape justice, TheVillainMustBePunished was decided for him. Personally Hans considers being in the Trope Pantheon a punishment; he's now in an environment where [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight people will refuse to let him off the hook despite the arrangement he got]]. And the Basterds are waiting for the moment he slips up [[PayEvilUntoEvil to go all out on him]]. [[Pantheon/BetrayalAndTreachery Starscream]] has quipped that he should expect to visit his house a fair bit since he's not going to get much trust from the evil gods either. |
| 136 | * Hans' ascension was among the ascended Nazis, seen as contentious. He was involved in Hitler, Goebbels, Goering and other Nazi high command's assassination in his universe, proving himself perfectly willing to abandon the ideology if it's for his benefit. However, few if any of the high-ranking Nazis that ascended ever held genuine loyalty to the Fuhrer, and they hold the idea above the man. Despite recognizing him as an opportunist, Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse saw in Hans a man that was still useful to the Nazi party and made it clear that Hans Landa will be offered a handsome reward for ensuring the ascended Nazi's triumph...but he's on thin ice and [[FateWorseThanDeath he will wish for the Basterds if he pulls the same turncoat stunt on them]]. Hans Landa was reluctant to agree with this, but ultimately did so as his reputation precedes him, or in other words he already had so many angry eyes on him that siding with the Nazis again would increase his allies list. |
| 137 | * The Red Skull has quite the love-hate relationship with Hans Landa. Though he makes no secret [[TheStarscream he sought to become Fuhrer]], he's usually written as a genuine believer so he doesn't respect Hans' "flip-flopping". And Adolf Hitler was not just his personal idol, but arguably [[ParentalSubstitute a second father]]. However he cannot help but respect Hans' cunning and effectiveness, citing that if he held genuine conviction and loyalty in the cause [[VillainousFriendship they would be close friends]]. Landa respects the Skull's determination and own cunning, however [[EvenEvilHasStandards he is not a fan of]] his BadBoss tendencies. Amoral he may be, [[AFatherToHisMen Col Landa has affection for his adjutant]] and was outraged to see the Basterds shoot him. The Skull gave him a positive review to HYDRA, admitting he'll fit their organization as a detective and intelligent agent like a glove. Since HYDRA is more broadly authoritarian than its Nazi roots, they are a lot more accepting of him. |
| 138 | * While he is seem with skepticism by many Nazi deities, along with those tied to and working with the Nazis, there are some that get along with him swimmingly and overlook his {{Turncoat}} actions. Franz Vahlen has his own ambitions independent of Rommel and Hitler, and he plans to become Fuhrer himself. As a general he can give aid to Hans in areas he's lacking. General Heinz Bohm is a cunning [[TheMole mole]] who met with the two over some strudel, pointing out he is well-aware the pantheon's Nazi elite has their own internal power plays and schemes for and against one another, so the fact they're able to be friendly with one another will likely be a boon. They've met privately to discuss assassination plans on some of their own allies in case they prove to be a "liability", the details of which are a tight-knit secret but nothing out of the ordinary for the Nazis more skeptical of Hans. For now, at worst Hans Landa is a reliable traitor. |
| 139 | * On the other side of the proverbial coin, there are those that Hans Landa is quite critical of. He is flabbergasted that Millennium is still given the go ahead by the more traditional Nazis, pointing out they're insane. [[HypocrisyNod Yes he's aware he's not exactly a loyalist to the cause]], but he's not wrong feeling Mr "[[AxCrazy I like]] [[BloodKnight war]]" might be more trouble than they're worth. Adjacent to the cause, there's Sergey Taboritsky and the Aryan Brotherhood, who he's glad aren't proper associates due to how off their gourd they are. He's surprised the OTL Sergey was allowed to be part of the Nazi party, citing [[BoomerangBigot he's a Russian monarchist with a Jewish mother]]. Pointing this out only caused the Blessed Regent to go on a rant of "[[MadnessMantra I AM NOT A JEW I AM NOT CAIN!!]]" On a lighter note, he's bothered by the attention that Cartman has given him. Cartman thinks he's "super kewl" and wants to be involved, albeit with some cognitive dissonance to ignore the fact he helped with Hitler's assassination in his timeline. Col Landa accurately finds him an annoying little brat and doesn't want his attention |
| 140 | * It is debatable as to how much of a PoliticallyIncorrectVillain he is, as his affinity for Nazi ideology is debatable. He compares Jews to rats, but unlike other Nazis this is not meant to be an insult. Rather, it's a weird, if offensive compliment as he points out that rats are resourceful and cunning animals. He's very good at rooting out Jewish families in hiding, so this and his other crimes prevent him from being seen as anything other than an enemy by Jewish deities. And for those that directly suffered under Nazi oppression like Sophie and Magneto, no amount of FauxAffablyEvil charm would dissuade them from wanting to cave his skull in. As Magneto was able [[PayEvilUntoEvil to give a personal vengeance to Red Skull]], a punishment so bad [[IgnoredEpiphany he almost ended up rethinking his life]], the "Jew hunter" lives in fear of what he might do to him. One non-Jew that Col Landa is on red alert for is B.J. Blazkowicz, though he does hold some VillainRespect for him; his crusade against the Nazis is one that rivals, if not even surpasses his arch-enemies, the Basterds. |
| 141 | * Many feel that the Basterds "went easy on him", though that's only because they could not afford to kill him. The Phantom Thieves of Heart don't plan to kill him, but they do plan to make him actually re-evaluate his life [[HeelFaceBrainwashing by stealing his heart, and thus force him to feel guilt for his actions]]. Landa muses "I wonder if [[FateWorseThanDeath I'd prefer execution]]...not that I'd ever want to test that, of course". Night Raid considers him someone to go after for his crimes regardless of red tape. Light Yagami plans to write his name in the Death Note, [[KnightTemplar though with less savory motives than most out for his blood]]. Hans Landa has rightly surmised that [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist his goals are more about power and pride than serving justice]], insulting him by saying "[[NotSoDifferentRemark I feel you would fit quite well with fascism if you were in the forties]]". And of course, there are the many Allied soldiers of WWII who want his head due to being a Nazi SS agent, even if it's not on the same PayEvilUntoEvil level as the Basterds. For bonus points the Red Viper of Dorne wants him to pay, as he's incensed by how he got away for the most part even if he had a karmic punishment. |
| 142 | * Hans Landa has a friendship with [[ANaziByAnyOtherName the somewhat but not quite Nazi]] Arnold Berkman. Major of the Germanian army's special unit, Berkman is a cunning figure who is ultimately more of an opportunist [[ItsAllAboutMe who's loyalty is to Numero Uno]], and got away unscathed. He's even more of a KarmaHoudini than Hans, [[EyeScream though he would lose an eye]]. The two enjoy swapping stories and participating in the finer things in life. Orson Krennic is another friend of Hans, as he's a well-dressed and [[FauxAffablyEvil superficially friendly]] fascist. They have different specialties though, as Hans is more of a detective/intelligence agent and Krennic develops military technology. [[Pantheon/OutlooksOnLife Tarkin]] was disappointed by their friendship as he had hoped to associate with Col Landa, but his own heated rivalry with Krennic causes just too much friction for that to be the case anymore. |

| 145 | %%Rough first draft of the Infinity Gauntlet. My first question is what Overdeities do you think should be watching over each of the stones? |

| 147 | [[folder:Infinity Gauntlet and Gems]] |
| 148 | '''[[ComicBook/TheInfinityGauntlet The Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Gems]]''' (or Infinity Stones) |
| 149 | [[quoteright:802:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/infinity_gauntlet_29_from_new_avengers_vol_3_3_001.png]] |
| 150 | [[caption-width-right:802:The Infinity Gauntlet with all six Gems in place]] |
| 151 | * Note: Restoration |
| 152 | * Appearance: A golden gauntlet, intended to have six different colored gems/stone embedded in it |
| 153 | * Hall: Maximum Security |
| 154 | * Class Level: 1 |
| 155 | * Alignment: TrueNeutral (dependent on who wears it) |
| 156 | * Portfolio: [[RealityWarper Lets You Bend Reality To Your Will]], [[SpaceMaster Including Total Mastery Of Space]] [[TimeMaster And Time]], DismantledMacGuffin, AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome, AmplifierArtifact |
| 157 | * Domains: Power, Gems, The Cosmos, Reality Warping, Functional Omnipotence |
| 158 | * The Creator/MarvelUniverse has many powerful artifacts, but few, if any surpass the Infinity Gems. Sometimes known as the Infinity Stones, they predate the universe and have been reported as either remains of a god that destroyed themselves out of loneliness, or six singularities present at the Big Bang. They embody six aspects of the universe and at full potential, allow one absolute control of that aspect of reality. To what extent depends on the continuity, but in ''ComicBook/TheInfinityGauntlet'', we see what happens when Thanos has all six in a specific gauntlet to wield their power, in order to impress Lady Death...omnipotence, barring a couple restrictions. Even [[CosmicEntity cosmic entities]] can be towed with it He only lost from a subconscious belief he didn't deserve that power. No-one has held onto that power permanently, and as it makes one a step or two below {{God}} this is probably a good thing. |
| 159 | * It is important to remember that Infinity Gems can only work in the universe they come from. Trying to use it in other universes is akin to trying to use your TV remote on somebody else's. The Infinity Gauntlet in the Trope Pantheon specifically works on the CrossoverAlternateUniverse which all the different gods interact, and only that reality. As such, while the Infinity Gauntlet is still ''immensely'' desirable, it cannot be used by any deity to take complete control of their own ''verse''. [[Pantheon/{{Leadership}} Darkseid]] has denoted the Infinity Gauntlet as useless for him [[ComicBook/JLAVsAvengers when he got his hand on it]], a fact that is undoubtedly a relief. As bad as Thanos was having the Infinity Gauntlet the man had insecurities and personal issues that made it possible he would lose control. Darkseid...doesn't, and he is not the kind of person [[VictoryIsBoring who would grow bored with victory]]. Attempt to modify the Gauntlet to work outside the Pantheon will incur the wrath of [[Pantheon/{{Wardening}} the Living Tribunal]]. |
| 160 | ** Darkseid being unimpressed by the Infinity Gauntlet has been furthered when [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle Thanos used it in a fight against him]], where while he could snap his avatar away when serious, his true form could just summon a new one. So Thanos decided to confront his true form...[[spoiler:and that was a really horrible move, as the Infinity Gauntlet was out of range in Darkseid's universe. [[ResurrectionDeathLoop Cue the Omega]] [[FateWorseThanDeath Sanction]]. Thanos really doesn't want to talk about it or how he got out of that one.]] |
| 161 | * The Living Tribunal is one of the only beings who can defy the Infinity Gauntlet when it is at full capacity. The same can be said of Doctor Doom [[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 when he had absorbed the power of Beyonders]]. He is the primary security in making sure the Infinity Gauntlet is only ever used when it's the only viable option. [[Pantheon/SourcesOfInformation The SCP Foundation]] has put a lot of measures into "containment"...well, not so much the Gems as they're relatively predictable when on their own, but as a way of keeping people out. While there are a number of variations of the Infinity Gauntlet and Gems, the Pantheon's Infinity Gauntlet [[TruerToTheText is an almost carbon copy of the 616 version]]. As such it lacks [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse needing a level of strength to not die wielding it]], making it all the more attractive a target. The six Infinity Gems are watched over certain Overdeities |
| 162 | ** The Time Gem; currently being watched over by [[Pantheon/TimeTravelling Chronoa]]. Grants the user unlimited control of time. Whoever holds it can make the House of Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality whatever they want it to be. That said, it is unknown how the Time Gem alone would face off against Lord English on an equal playing field |
| 163 | ** The Soul Gem; currently being watched over by TBA. Allows manipulation of any and all souls, be it dead or alive. One can use it to lord power over both the House of Pantheon/LifeAndVitality and the House of Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem. They'd have the power to ''shut down'' the pantheon's DeathIsCheap rule, an idea that Dhuum is salivating over...though the same gem could set it back up again. |
| 164 | *** Technically all gems have also been known as the Soul Gems, though only one has domain over souls. Should be noted; they have no relation to what the Puella Magi have used, or [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim the Tamriel soul gems]]. |
| 165 | ** The Power Gem; currently being watched over by TBA. Allows complete control over all power in the universe. |
| 166 | ** The Reality Gem; currently being watched over by TBA. Alters the laws of the universe to the users will. Seems to be a more general reality-bending purpose. [[Pantheon/PowerArchetypes Doctor Manhattan]] muses that his own abilities act similarly to the Reality Gem, as he is able to bend reality due to his innate understanding and connection to the underpinning rules of existence. |
| 167 | ** The Space Gem; currently being watched over by TBA. Allowing for the manipulation of space. It's to the House of Pantheon/SpaceAndCosmos what the Time Stone is to the House of Time and Temporality. |
| 168 | ** The Mind Gem; currently being watched over by TBA. Taps into the users mind for complete control of psychic powers including telekinesis. |
| 169 | * [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse In Earth-199999]], there are actually two gauntlets. There is a right-handed one that's currently locked in Odin's treasury and also contains replicas of the Infinity Gems, and a left-handed one that the Thanos from that universe currently has... or so we thought. Turns out Odin's is merely a fake. You want to go to [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Earth-1610]] for dual gauntlets, though they have eight Infinity Gems[[note]]so four for each hand[[/note]]. Strictly speaking, without the Gems/Stones the Gauntlet is just a normal gauntlet, albeit one that can withstand overwhelming power (or as [[Pantheon/{{Leadership}} Palpatine]] puts it, '''[[EvilIsHammy "UNLIMITED!!!]] [[Memes/RevengeOfTheSith POWER!!!"]]'''. He makes it no secret he wants the Infinity Gauntlet and has been observing other variations. [[ComicBook/TheAvengersJonathanHickman For example, one where it took form of a Wishing Cube, each face a panel of "forever glass"]]. |
| 170 | * The Infinity Gems played a role in a battle between Marvel characters. Thanos was in possession of the Mind Gem during that particular instance. There is uncertainty as to what happened to that Thanos during that time. The usability of the Infinity Gems by themselves depends on one's power level. Greater Gods and Overdeities have no problem with it. Intermediate Gods could use one Gem but are likely to be exhausted after that. Lesser God and below, there's practically no point in using a Gem. This was best demonstrated when they were used by, in a particular merging of worlds, X, to eliminate Ultron Sigma. Despite being a Greater God, he struggled using the Infinity Buster (created by Iron Man and powered by the Infinity Gems) requiring the assistance of everyone present (including other Greater Gods, such as Thor, Doctor Strange and Zero) to stabilize the energy, even after donning the Ultimate Armor.]] Another version was offered as a prize for [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall the winner of the 1047th Interdimensional Contest of Champions]]. [[spoiler:[[Pantheon/{{Hats}} Linkara]] won, however he figured out the Temlins would never give out something so power without regulations. The Infinity Gauntlet he has is from another universe so he's unable to use it. That's why previous winners of the Contest of Champions can't be chosen again.]] |
| 171 | * [[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 Due to the actions of an alternate]] Ultron, [[LoopholeAbuse a loophole has been found]]; the Infinity Stones can be used to enhance something from their own universe even if they are outside of it. Theoretically it might be possible to attack someone with a sneak attack from another universe; if Zen'o were to erase an Infinity Gauntlet wielder with them unaware and Zen'o remaining in his own palace, it could work. The "Infinity Ultron" loophole has also opened the possibility that someone could send an ultra-powerful force or being to another universe. Davros was the one to muse of this, in a particularly horrifying scenario; use the Infinity Gauntlet to mass produce Reality Bombs and portals to send them to other universes the second before they detonate. On the flip side, someone aware of a multiversal cataclysm in progress, like say the Anti-Monitor's antimatter waves, could make the universe of the pantheon indestructible from said cataclysm. The Xeelee have become interested in that idea, believing it could make a universe-wide sanctuary for species to flee to. |
| 172 | * The other drawback is that it cannot be used to destroy itself, either the gems or the concept they represent. For example, if the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction tried to use the Soul Gem to cause the extinction of all life, there would still have to be at least one being in the universe with a soul left over. The one notable exception was the MCU, as that Thanos had the Infinity Stones destroyed so they couldn't be used again, and he wouldn't be tempted...he almost killed himself doing so. That said [[AdaptationalWimp they are weaker than their 616 counterpart]]. The Infinity Gauntlet of the Trope Pantheon holds the same limitation as the 616 Gauntlet. One lesser detail was discovered about (at least the Pantheon's) Infinity Gauntlet when [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Cosmos]] was allowed to wield it; its qualities couldn't be altered. She tried to use its power to make it so it could only be used with a selfless intent, but when she tried to test it with a selfish desire ([[PokeThePoodle make Palutena's coffee taste bad]]) it worked. |
| 173 | * This also means that, even if the SCP Foundation wanted to, they could not alter the Infinity Gems with SCP-914. In case you're wondering, no they do not plan to use it against [[Pantheon/{{Psyches}} SCP-682]] any time soon. 682 has proven to survive and adapt to the laws of physics being altered, being sent to an area of non-existence and being put in a narrative built around it being permanently killed. The possibility it could at least permanently incapacitate the lizard is there, however this is considered risky. The reason they don't use nukes on 682 is fear it will adapt to that. Could you even imagine what a 682 that adapted to ''the Infinity Gauntlet'' would be like?! [[spoiler:If you've seen SCP-6820, you could probably guess.]] Considerations to using it against [[Pantheon/MindGames SCP-3125]] has been made; while its extradimensional status puts it outside the Gauntlet's range, it could alter the universe to block it out. Using it against [[Pantheon/AfterlifeEntities SCP-3812]] was a non-starter, though, as he's one of few decisively known to surpass the Gauntlet's power. |
| 174 | * The Infinity Gauntlet is something of interest to all Grand United Alliances. While there are there are some Overdeities that could actually ''[[EvenMoreOmnipotent surpass]]'' the power of all gems, they're a very small group and who exactly fits there is heavily debated. Though it only affects the Trope Pantheon central universe, this is more than enough to tip the balance of power. [[Pantheon/{{Villainy}} Melkor]] still doesn't think this is enough, and he wants to use the ones in the vault to create his own set capable of working across all universes. It seems like a fool's effort since the Living Tribunal would punish any attempts to do that, however you have to remember that there's nothing stopping him from, say, restore himself to full power permanently. [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith YHVH]] and [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Lucifer]] have mused that, [[OrderVersusChaos given their agendas]], the Soul Gem will probably take precedence. |
| 175 | * It's important to note that the range being limited to its universe doesn't mean that its power is only universal. The Ultimate Nullifier has the ability to destroy entire timelines, and even destroyed and recreated the multiverse once. And yet, when Adam Warlock tried to use it on Magus holding five of the six Infinity Gems, this failed. [[WebVideo/TheImaginaryAxis It's been theorized]] the real reason why nobody holds on is more a mental reason, that being [[HeelRealization they realize they aren't worthy]]. Tests with other artifacts in Maximum Security is explicitly forbidden, though many are curious as to see how they'd interact. It's assumed that even within range the Infinity Gauntlet couldn't do anything to the Throne, as its influence on existence is more comprehensive. A lot of people wish it could be used to get rid of Li'l Cal, but [[Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality Lord English's]] massive influence over the timeline would mean it would inevitably be out of range when the Gauntlet is active. |

| 259 | ** '''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roswell,_New_Mexico Roswell, New Mexico]], Divine City Of [[RoswellThatEndsWell Mysterious Happenings In 1947]]''': A restoration to [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13955282570A87068500&page=4852 an old profile]] |
| 260 | ** '''[[VideoGame/Persona5 Suguru Kamoshida]], God of {{Creepy Gym Coach}}es''' (Hall of Teachers)-Adopted from Tropers/Iceaura39 |

| 264 | ** '''[[Franchise/{{Hellraiser}} Frank and Julia Cotton]], Damned Couple Of [[AFamilyAffair In-Law Adultery]]''' |
| 265 | |
| 266 | * New ideas (main focus)-17/20. Feel free to PM and adopt if you want to. |
| 267 | ** '''[[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Komala]], God of [[LaidBackKoala Laid-Back Koalas]]''' (Hall of Mammals, TrueNeutral)-Komala is a Normal type koala introduced in a Hawaii-inspired region. It exaggerates the sleepiness of real life koalas by the fact that it spends its entire life asleep, and merely sleepwalks to move around. This is reflected in its signature ability Comatose, where it has a permanent Sleep condition but without the drawbacks of not being able to do anything%%Proposed 1/3 |
| 268 | ** '''[[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Aegislash]], God of [[DefendCommand Defend Commands]]''': a restoration and retool. I am considering suggesting Aegislash for this trope. Why? Aegislash is a living, haunted sword. While many Pokemon have defend commands, its design and ability is tailor made for this trope. Aegislash's signature ability is Stance Change, where if it uses an offensive move it becomes an attack-oriented form and if it uses its signature move of Kings Shield it reverts to its shielded form. Kings Shield is a Protect variant that lowers the opponent's attack on contact. Old draft here: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13955282570A87068500&page=358 Aegislash]] |
| 269 | ** '''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Centauri The Alpha Centauri Star System]], Divine [[StockStarSystems Oft-Represented Star System]]''': a dominion idea. For StockStarSystems I feel it should go to a star system that is commonly used in sci-fi or other reference, hence Alpha Centauri. A trinary star system in the UsefulNotes/LocalStars, it is the closest star system to our own. As such, it gets some of the most fictional representations of a star system besides our own. Naturally it would function as a CompositeCharacter of the different fictional versions with the real star system as the base%%Proposed 1/3 |
| 270 | ** '''[[Franchise/Ben10 Corrodium]]''': restoration of an idea made by worldofdraken. Corrodium is a notable phlebotinum from the Ben 10 franchise, mainly associated with aliens from the Anur system. It's this purple and potent energy source that acts as a mutagen to most non-Anur lifeforms, and is a plot device by Zs'skayr and his associates. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13955282570A87068500&page=4468 Original version here]] |
| 271 | ** '''[[Franchise/Ben10 The Anur System]], Celestial Seat Of [[HomeOfMonsters Monster-Inhabited Worlds]]''': restoration of an idea made by worldofdraken. The Anur System is a mysterious and spooky star system in the Ben 10 universe. It is a MonsterMash where the aliens there look and act very similarly to classical monsters and spooky folks from Earth. They've got aliens that are like ghosts, mummies, Frankenstein's Monster, werewolves and even vampires...well, sort of, Vladats are endangered nowadays. |
| 272 | ** I would like to make a partial restoration, partial rework in adding [[Franchise/GreenLantern the Lantern Rings]] to the Great Treasury. One of the most iconic weapons in the DC universe, and also a major feature of the Green Lantern mythos is the titular lantern ring. Using will for green, or other emotions for other rings, you can create HardLight constructs and use your imagination in a powerful way. Should it be the rainbow seven, should it include the White and Black Lantern rings (despite the security risk the latter has)? The idea is that they would function as a way to deputize people in the Trope Pantheon%%Proposed 1/3 |
| 273 | ** '''[[Franchise/{{Superman}} Pieces Of Kryptonite]]''': a restoration for the Great Treasury. One of the most iconic weaknesses in superhero comics is kryptonite. A radioactive piece of the exploded planet Krypton, it is radioactive and Kryptonian life is particularly susceptible to it, being akin to poisoning. Green Kryptonite is the original and pure stuff, but there are variants which have different effects. Sometimes it only affects Kryptonian life, but sometimes it has a more subtle effect like the time Lex Luthor got cancer using a kryptonite ring |
| 274 | ** '''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheDialOfDestiny Jurgen Voller]], God of [[HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct Trying (And Failing) To Remove Hitler Via Time Travel]]''' (Hall of Time Travelling, NeutralEvil)-the BigBad of Dial of Destiny is Jurgen Voller, seeking the Antitkythera mechanism to go back in time and take out Hitler right before [=WW2=]. He's a unique example of this trope in that he's a ''Nazi'' trying to pull this off; he believes in their vision but thinks that the Fuhrer specifically was to blame for Germany losing the war, so he wants to make sure they start the war with a more effective leader ([[ItsAllAboutMe three guesses on who he has in mind]]). True to the trope, though, his efforts are AllForNothing; the mechanism only sends you back to the Battle of Syracuse as part of Archimedes' attempt to stop the Romans. And the whole thing was a StableTimeLoop, furthering the fact his efforts were in vain |
| 275 | ** '''[[Myth/ClassicalMythology Polyphemus]], God of [[ClassicalCyclops Classically Monstrous Cyclops]]''' (Hall of Eye Appearances)-Polyphemus is a major antagonist in the Odyssey. Unlike the elder divine cyclops who were wise and built things for the Olympians, Polyphemus was a member of the more mortal cyclops. They were known as vicious, giant brutes [[ToServeMan who ate people]]. Many like Polyphemus were children of Poseidon. He has some HiddenDepths such as a musical talent, but otherwise fit the stereotype the Greeks started |
| 276 | ** '''[[Myth/EgyptianMythology Huitzilopochtli, Tlaloc, and Xipe Totec]], Triumvirate Deities Of HumanSacrifice''': the Aztecs are infamous for their practice of HumanSacrifice, an act they believed was a NecessarilyEvil to keep the natural order. Three major gods had their own take on sacrifice. Huitzilopochtli is the war deity of sacrifice that had the traditional heart-ripping out maneuver. Tlaloc is a rain and water god who's sacrifice involved dressing up seven children in the style of Tlaloc before pulling out their hearts, and the children crying before reaching the designated shrine was considered a good omen for abundant rain. The festival of Tozoztontli involved more child sacrifices in caves. And Xipe Totec, who flayed himself to feed humanity, has his sacrifices skinned and priests wore that skin |
| 277 | ** '''[[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad The Golden Turd]]''': a restoration to the Grand Treasury. The accursed stool was created by Roger after a bad meal, and acts similarly to the One Ring; everyone who gets access to it will inevitably be corrupted by greed and become obsessed by its power. A potent ArtifactOfAttraction and ArtifactOfDoom, without exception, they will suffer a terrible fate because of it. [[spoiler:Roger has to resort to time travel to stop it's madness...and it more delays the inevitable than anything]]. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13955282570A87068500&page=3970 Draft here]]%%Proposed 1/3 |
| 278 | ** '''[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Cleveland Orenthal Brown]], God of [[AbandonedCatchphrase Abandoned Catchphrases]]''' (Hall of Phrases, TrueNeutral)-Cleveland is the straight man of Peter's pals. He didn't have many quirks, but one of the things he was known is RapidFireNo, caused by him and his bathtub falling due to Peter's shenanigans. When this eventually lead to him leaving Quahog the catchphrase was dropped in the spin-off, and would remain dropped when he returned to the main show.%%Proposed 1/3 |
| 279 | ** '''[[WesternAnimation/CarolAndTheEndOfTheWorld Carol Kohl]], Goddess of Living JustBeforeTheEnd''': ''Carol And The End Of The World'' is a limited series where a planet is discovered to be destined to collide with and destroy the Earth. It explores people getting their affair in order and living with the apocalypse months away. Carol Kohl is the main character, an everywoman who is trying to figure out how to spend her last moments. |
| 280 | ** '''[[Literature/XeeleeSequence The Interim Coalition Of Governance]], Unholy [[TheDictatorship Dictatorship]]''' (Hall of Manners Of Authority)-the Coalition is one the most extreme, psychopathic dictatorships in fiction. Think [[Literature/NinteenEigthyFour Oceania]] meets the LensmanArmRace. They're a totalitarian oligarchical dictatorship that uses omnipresent indoctrination, [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans thinks humanity should be in a state of constant suppression in order to be human]], will erase dissidents, commit genocide for even the pettiest of reasons ([[FateWorseThanDeath or make you wish they did]]) and [[AbsoluteXenophobe despises everyone and everything else]] |
| 281 | ** '''[[Literature/XeeleeSequence The Spline]], Deified [[LivingShip Living Ships]]''' (Hall of Air Travel)-adopted from Someone 404. The Spline used to be whale-like creatures living on a faraway planet. After a chance encounter with another alien species, they chose to redesign themselves into SpaceWhale like starships. Their nervous systems are wired into a control deck, their pores hold weapon and sensor emplacements, and specialized organs are used to keep passengers alive, among other adaptations. %%Greater Gods |
| 282 | ** '''[[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Officer Barbrady and Sergeant Harrison Yates]], Co-Gods of [[PoliceAreUseless Useless Police]]''': the world of South Park is one full of idiots, and the police are no exception. Barbrady and Yates represent police incompetence, but in different ways. While Barbrady is technically a TokenGoodCop, he's a complete idiot who was illiterate until "Chickenlover" and is usually unable to deal with the situation at hand. Yates is somewhat smarter, however he's a stereotypical BigotWithABadge who joined the force to frame and arrest minorities, and when he's not being corrupt he's usually failing to solve the case like not picking up the hints [[ObviouslyEvil Michael Deets]] is the SerialKiller he's looking for%%Proposed 1/3 |
| 283 | ** '''[[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Stephen and Linda Stotch]], God and Goddess of [[YouAreGrounded Grounding]]''': Butters' abusive parents Stephen and Linda are very well-known for using grounding on Butters as a punishment. It's practically a catch phrase. Usually [[DisproportionateRetribution it's something minor]] or a misunderstanding, but in more recent episodes they have more of a legitimate case like using Facebook to spread misinformation. A video game reveals Stephen obsessively grounds Butters [[FreudianExcuse because his mother did so to him]] |
| 284 | * Incoming (9/10) |
| 285 | ** '''[[Series/Loki2021 Loki Odinson (Variant L1130) and Sylvie Laufeydottir]], God and Goddess Of [[AlternateSelfShipping Being Shipped With Your Counterpart]]''' (Hall of Clones and Counterparts)-two of the main leads of the Loki series. Sylvia is a genderswapped version of Loki, and the Loki in this series is a variant from the timeline created when the Avengers went back in 2012 to get the Space Stone. Fans frequently shipped them together, which is only helped by the fact there is some serious ScrewYourself subtext. [[spoiler:It ends up becoming somewhat canon]] |
| 286 | ** I am thinking of giving [[ComicBook/{{Miracleman}} Johnny Bates/Kid Miracleman]] HelplessGoodSide, but I do not know how I should word it. A DeconstructedCharacterArchetype of the KidSidekick, Johnny is normally a sweet kid but his SuperpoweredEvilSide is a complete psycho. Bates is timid and horrified by this other persona, but he's also still a child due to Kid Miracleman having remained in superpower form since the early 60s, forcing Bates' body to remain in stasis for most of it with his mind helplessly trapped in Kid Miracleman's. He's bullied by his alter and forced to use summon him to avoid being assaulted. It's clear the only solution Miracleman has is to ShootTheDog the poor kid |
| 287 | ** '''[[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Billy]], God of [[InnocuouslyImportantEpisode Innocuously Important Episodes]]''': Adventure Time occasionally has formerly minor plot points becoming a lot more important in hindsight. Billy is TheHerosIdol for Finn and Jake, but he only shows up alive and well [[WeHardlyKnewYe in a couple episodes]] with "[[Recap/AdventureTimeS1E25HisHero His Hero]]" as the main focus. It's an early episode before the series became more long story focused, but it proves important. Not only does it introduce [[BigBad the Lich]] via flashback, but Billy proves to have an important impact on Ooo larger than his actual appearance. BTW, if you think he fits TheHerosIdol more so, I won't blame you |
| 288 | ** '''[[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Gumbald]], God of PhlebotinumInducedStupidity''': PB's "Uncle Gumbald" is one of the last [[ArcVillain Arc Villains]]. Made to be one of Bonnie's original family, there were some "disagreements" between the two. Gumbald concocted to use "dum-dum" juice, which can turn candy people into idiotic, simpler forms. Aunt Lolly and Cousin Chicle got it, however he was HoistByHisOwnPetard and became the dumb Punchy the Bowl. He only regained his sense of self when LSP's WorldHealingWave (ItMakesSenseInContext) happened |
| 289 | ** '''[[VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet Koraidon and Miraidon]], Co-Deities Of Being ConditionedToBeWeak''': notable for being mascot legends with you since almost the start, being Ride Pokemon who are FishOutOfTemporalWater. The two are incredibly powerful Pokemon but they were severely traumatized by a more vicious member of their kind and start rather weak and incapable of fighting. Over time you help them retain their will and spirit, however even at the end you can't use them in a battle. |
| 290 | ** '''[[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Heatmor and Durant]], Warring Gods Of AnimalJingoism''': restoration and expansion. These single-stage Pokemon are mortal enemies that are based off an ant-eater, and an ant. Heatmor is Fire type and Durant is Bug/Steel because of the obvious advantage anteaters have on ants, though Durant is fast and packing Ground type moves. If you run into hordes, one will even attack the other. Draft of old Durant here: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13955282570A87068500&page=87 Durant]] |
| 291 | ** '''[[ComicBook/{{Bedlam}} Fillmore Press]], God of BehavioralConditioning''': Fillmore Press was once Madder Red, a PracticallyJoker villain who was a total psycho. He was captured and experience 12 years through brain surgery, pet affection experiments, and violence tests to mold him into a person who refuses to commit any violence or wrongdoing towards others. The result brainwashed a CompleteMonster into a pacifist who wants to make up for his past self's evil. |
| 292 | ** '''[[ComicBook/InfinitumAnAfrofuturistTale Aja Oba]], God of [[ImmortalGenius Immortal Geniuses]]''': alive since before the Roman Empire, possessing CompleteImmortality. Aja is [[GeniusBruiser is fiercely intelligent]], aided by the fact that he has more time to study than any other human being in the world. He bankrolls space colonization, and lead his own team of scientists in terraforming a new world. He uses his cunning to eventually become an ImmortalRuler and grows StrongerWithAge |
