Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:

    Rules 
Rules. The following are not suggestions or tips, but things that have to be followed:
  • When writing a profile, take note of the following:
    • Gods cannot be followers or high priests for obvious reasons. The 'gods' have ascended meaning there is no need for said character to be a follower of another if they have ascended.
    • No hype profiles, please. 'Hype Profiles' are profiles that have been made out of ongoing events and have not been around for a long time. This creates 'hype' due to popularity and certain elements either through certain scenes, memes, dramatic acting or considered overly awesome. They are not bad tropes but building a portfolio solely for that is a bad idea, as they do not say a thing about representing the trope best (unless it's those trope concepts that they are trying to embody for a long time)
      • You can see one if the profile is only showing off how awesome they are or suddenly pushing how 'significant' they are thanks to the just very recent events rather than respecting the longstanding good representations of the trope. And usually having... minimum portfolio or flavor texts and being a bit too generalized or self-contained to events from within their home series instead of interacting with other Pantheon members.
  • When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
    • When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
    • You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
      • For new and reworked deities, 3 [tup] means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
      • For new and reworked deities, 4 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 5 [tup] is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
      • Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
    • For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
      • For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 4 [tup] is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
    • Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice in a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be a single flavour text.
    • The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like look like Character Shilling.
    • Tropers new to the Pantheon are barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles.
    • Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
    • Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
    • Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
      • On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others because no one is responding to their idea.
  • When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
    • Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to add in a main Characters page that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, inform the forum and use the cutlist. This also goes to the Trivia page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Good and Evil Colors.
    • Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment ALSO applies here. Do not bring things that would incite fights, even if it is what is currently the hot topic and might be 'urgent'. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight at each other, so don't suggest things that go to that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
    • To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
    • Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.

    Instructions and Tips 
Here are some tips one should keep in mind when editing:

  • Preparing to write:
    • First thing to do before present a profile is to go to the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Submissions that are added without discussion are likely to be deleted and those who violate those rules by adding Pantheon content without discussion will get reported to the mods.
    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing anything hasty. Use good reasoning to see if your idea can easily replace the character present without drawing out your statement or giving too ambiguous claims most do not understand.
    • Please be sure to consult others in the discussion about what you want to work before making the profile. This is done to see if your proposal is the best representative and so, in case your profile is turned down, you do not waste time writing something that others might not find suitable.
      • In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread. More often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else. Check the Related tab on the top of a page to see if a trope or character has been reserved by a user.
    • If, for whatever reason, you are writing about a God who just happens to be a person in real life, just try to be very careful about what you decide to say. Do not try to make the editing seem too meta (self-referential) and use the aformentioned creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters.
  • When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
    • All deities should be sorted by their divine ranking. Put Overdeities on the top of the page and Quasideities on the bottom. Also be sure to add them in alphabetical order by their first/given name (can be reversed if it is Eastern ordered). For a group, if there is no official name for them all list down all their names by order of relevance or (if too long to list) title them as Insert Name Here Main Characters or some other identifiable title along the same lines.
    • The maximum number of tropes that a god can have is two, but do not try to abuse that fact. If you need to use a second trope to specify a certain thing about their position, that can be excused either because said character represents their trope choice very well alongside the first trope. It is still generally encouraged to only have one trope.
    • A trope can only belong to one profile at a time. The only time two profiles can share a trope is if there are explicit variations listed in the trope page proper (e.g. Muscle Angst is held by both Biscuit Krueger and Chihiro Fujisaki as the former represents "Too Much Muscle" and the latter represents "Not Enough Muscle")
    • If the character you are about to add to a House already exists in another, make sure to mention that this person has spots in other House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity, with the sole exceptions being those at the Main House to highlight those characters’ importance to the Pantheon’s lore.
    • For a character's theme song, try to avoid calling it "Theme of God X" or "Theme of (Show where God X originates from)". If possible, try to find out if the song has an actual name through research. Most importantly, it has to be part their series’ official soundtracks from media. Do not list songs that are made by fans or outside sources. If they were not specifically used as music for that specific character, then they do not count. Furthermore, it has to be a general theme specifically made for that characters’ appearances, not some generic music that plays for many other instances not related to the character in question.
    • For images, when adding an image for your chosen character, it is highly recommended to use a stylized image that embodies the character or renders that also highlights a character’s behavior (such as cool poses). Most images should be from the main adaptations of the character, unless the images from the other media are of a higher quality than the adaptation. Unless it is needed, do not use fanart for images. If you are, please attribute to the original artist. Due to the website’s dark mode, removing white backgrounds from an image is paramount. This website is suggested to do the background removal. If an image you have takes up too much bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, put the compressed image to other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikias to look for better images, as even wikias for the series might not contain good official images.
    • Creativity is your friend. While it is not recommended to get too ditzy at your ideas, it is best that when writing a profile for a certain character, do you think of capable scenarios between X and Y. Tip: do not use shallow examples (X wields a sword and Y wields one too) and try to think of relationships that makes sense (i.e those characters that are shout-outs for another).
  • Pantheon Content:
    • Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill per say. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
      • As far as deities from actual mythologies, there is generally expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entire from the actual myth. Therefore, a mythological deity should be more of a Composite Character whose main identity is from the actual myth.
    • Occasionally there will be Gods that carry a title without a trope. This is not forbidden, but it is well advised not to abuse them. The only house that a tropeless profile are wholly allowed is the House of Food. Mainly due to most food items lacking tropes, and adding tropes about said foodstuffs is slightly unnecessary. However, the character being ascended for their choice of a food, or food-related thing must be a decently good representative of said item. (i.e their Trademark Favorite Food, or something that they are closely associated with In-Universe, or both).
    • For Dominions and Treasures profiles, always consider what made those places/objects popular in the first place. Were they plot-important, identifiable imagery or have a unique aspect of it? Do not just bring regular objects under the basis of following a certain canon.
  • For Profile Standards:
    • Flavor text is used to describe certain things about a character, place or object. To avoid short ones, it is recommended to write flavor text with 4-7 sentences that can fill around 2 lines each. Be warned that adding too many sentences does not equal good flavor text as it is not an essay of sorts (unless words are substantial and do add to the overall line).
    • Character Profiles of a certain person should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 7 (at the minimum) tropes describing their character.
      • Flavor text count for a deity profile should have by minimum, 10 (depending if the character in question has enough relationships/characterization) to 15 with a maximum of 20-25 for an individual profile.
      • On the other hand, group profiles (profiles of a group that has 4 or more members) have their maximum flavor text count to 15 minimum, giving individual lines for the other members of the group (unless the members are not as characterized) up to 30 at max.
    • Dominion profiles of a certain place should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 5 (at the minimum) tropes describing the context of the place.
      • Flavor text count should range at least 10 to 15.
    • Treasure profiles (inanimate objects without a trope) should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 6 (at the minimum) tropes that describes the object itself.
      • Flavor text count should be at least 7 flavor text up to 12 to constitute a treasure profile.

    Divine Ranking System 
  • Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warpers capable of manipulating the entire universe (or at least the world) at will. Within their own universe they are believed to be omnipotent, or at least impossible-to-completely-destroy embodiments or concepts.
  • Greater Gods: High-level Reality Warpers and that are extremely powerful (capable of destroying or changing anywhere from a large city to a planet at will) and very strong non-reality warpers capable of doing the same thing.
  • Intermediate Gods: Deities at this level are capable of strong but specialized powers such as hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc. without major drawbacks and low level Reality Warpers capable of affecting their immediate area at will.
  • Lesser Gods: Capable of highly specific or little power on their own, or suffer from Power at a Price. However, they may be able to ruthlessly exploit their power or combine it with just being badass enough to make up for it.
  • Demigods: Basically the Badass Normals of the pantheon, making up for their lack of abilities with strength, strategy, and/or planning.
  • Quasideities: Any otherwise normal human, human equivalent, or below without any special powers or training will fall here.

    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:

God X, God/dess of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on representation of power mentioned above.
  • Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
  • Theme Song: Official song (in other words, no fan music, regardless of quality) that usually is used in affiliation with the character. If the deity is a musician this will most likely be their Signature Song. If possible, give a link for reference, preferably on either a website like Soundcloud or YouTube.
  • Alignment: Good, evil, neutral etc. Forget about The Great Character Alignment Debate here, the Pantheon is one of the few places where you can assign Dungeons & Dragons alignment to characters that don't have alignment system. After all, the Pantheon is based on D&D and is made for fun.
  • For Pokémon deities only:
    • Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokémon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
    • Ability: Provides the Pokémon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
    • Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokémon. A Z-Move may also be listed.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
  • Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
  • Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
  • High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case something would happen. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
  • Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
  • Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
    • Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.
    • Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
    • Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either on their pespective or yours.
    • Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
    • Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
    • Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
    • Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
    • Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly opposes or is opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects") terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
    • Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
    • Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
  • Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part the order is irrelevant:
    • The Ascension Text: This the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
    • The Bio: A brief synopsis on the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Deities/Characters is 10-15 (15-20 for group profiles) at minimum to 20-25 (30 for group profiles) at maximum.

Template for Dominions profiles:

Place X, Place of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
  • Domains: Things that the place has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the dominion is linked to, note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said dominion, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Dominion is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Dominions is 10 at minimum to 15 at maximum.

Template for Treasure profiles:

The name of the item in here (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
  • Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
  • Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
  • Domains: Things that the item has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the item is linked to (especially the original owner of the item), note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said object, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Treasure is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

@rin, BSN: [tup]

I'm not sure what else there is to add to Marley.

Jacob Marley, God of Deathbed Clothing and Warning Others to Not be Like Him

  • Demigod
  • Symbol: His chains
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral(?)
  • Portfolio: Jacob Marley Apparel and Warning (obviously), Ghostly Gape, Chained by Fashion
  • Domains: Ghosts, Warnings
  • Allies: Scrooge McDuck, Statler & Waldorf, Jason Todd, Goofy, Sylvester the Cat, Nicolas Cage
  • Opposes: Unrepentant and/or greedy deities
  • Tense relations: Wario
  • Jacob Marley used to be a business partner alongside Ebeneezer Scrooge before death. It was only a matter of time before he came back as a spirit to warn Scrooge that the miser will end up becoming like him if he didn't change his ways. Even as a spirit, he is still wearing the same clothes that he had before his death, albeit with chains.
  • Compared to most of the other gods in the Pantheon, Jacob Marley is rarely seen on a frequent basis. Most have only seen him during the holidays if someone is a greedy miser that's unlikely to change their ways and he largely disapproves of said misers.
  • Has claimed that he doesn't have a brother named Bob Marley. It was largely Statler & Waldorf's doing, though he commends the two on warning the Scrooge from that universe to avoid a bad fate.
    • In addition to the two Muppets, Jason Todd, Goofy, Sylvester the Cat, and even Nicolas Cage have played Jacob's role on different occassions.
  • Had an encounter with Bugs Bunny, who claimed to have played Marley's role one time. The spirit has a feeling that constantly annoying someone and threatening to send them to hell is not the best idea to try and change a greedy miser's way.
  • He quickly found out that there was a House of Commerce and was disappointed to find that a number of deities there were greedy, if not moreso that him and Scrooge before the latter redeemed himself.
    • Marley had an unusual encounter with Wario during that visit to Commerce and found out that Wario took up Jacob's role one time. The spirit was annoyed that Wario encouraged that greed, and Wario telling him that he had to carry out the warning simply to fulfill the story didn't really change Jacob's opinion of him.
    • During that same visit, he met Scrooge McDuck. Beforehand, Marley felt disappointed that Ebeneezer Scrooge would have a place in a house that focuses mainly on money, but the confusion got cleared up quickly. Jacob is thankful that Scrooge McDuck does have his own family to make sure the duck's own greed doesn't get out too of control.
  • Rumors have started to spread that he might sound a bit similar to Lord Shen. The spirit is not amused at all by the rumors.
  • The chains that he carries with him are made of moneybags and ledgers, meant to symbolize how selfish he was before his death. Some believe that the chains can be removed, but others think that the chains are a burden he'll have to bear with even after his death.

I wonder if i should mention that the Pandaren Race is considered a rippoff of Po, even though they were created before the first movie

Oh and any help with Chen?

Chen Stormstout, God Of Drunk Fighters (Legendary Brewmaster, Wandering Brewmaster, Storm, Earth and Fire, Merrymaker Chen)

—> Earth: "Wait...I'm Earth and he's Fire. Shouldn't you be Wind?" Storm: "Quiet! Or do you want to get sued?"
  • He really doesn't like Leoric. One could say because of the Skeleton king evil attitudes, but in reality there was one time that Leoric say really mean things to him prompting him to cry and start drinking from the barrel. Leoric then started wacking him with his maze but grew bored after seeing Chen tank them like it was nothing.
  • Turns out that when festivities arrives on his homeland, Chen usually changes his usual style and becomes Merrymaker Chen, Bringing alcohol and drinks to any person who just wants to have a really nice time.

Not sure if I should say this, but I read some stuff regarding Ridley and Joker Immunity.

From the trope page:

  • Ridley in the Metroid series cruelly and sneakily subverts this, with gamers noticing around 2012 that these scenarios were cases of Never Found the Body. He has appeared in all games in the series apart from Metroid II: Return of Samus, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime Hunters. Often serves as the (literal) Dragon to a specific game's Big Bad, but he is considered to be Samus' Arch-Enemy more than any of the other Big Bads (including Mother Brain), as he is personally responsible for the attack on Samus' homeworld that resulted in the death of her parents. Appearances listed in order of the universe's internal chronology:
    • He is seemingly killed for real in Metroid/Zero Mission, and accompanied by a robot double in Zero Mission, but Other M possibly hand waves this by showing he's 'really' good at playing dead, even if he needed a robo boost to survive.
    • He is then revived as Meta Ridley in Metroid Prime, and guards the entrance to the Impact Crater. Torizo Statues knock him off a cliff, and Torizos aren't known to be that effective in the first place, and the player never actually sees him die.
    • Meta Ridley is apparently "killed" again at the start of Corruption, but returns as the guardian of the Pirate Homeworld Leviathan as Omega Ridley. Players noticed his shadow flying away for a sneaky split second.
    • He is killed yet again (as his original form, somehow. Possibly hand waved by his armor becoming pure Phazite, which like all Phazon was destroyed) in Super Metroid This is later confirmed in a buzz killing way to be his Killed Off for Real moment as his returns had become a running gag. However...
    • ... a cloned Ridley appears in Metroid: Other M, gets wounded by Samus, and consumed by the Metroid Queen. Dies a lot quicker than the slippery bastard the original was.
    • The clone's drained, frozen husk turns up in Fusion, is consumed by an X, and is later fought as Ridley X. He never really comes back, it's just an X mimicking him, and like the suspiciously Super Metroid!Tourian-like area he appears in, is likely for Fanservice.

From his character entry:

  • Joker Immunity: Officially averted in Super Metroid, where he canonically died. The ones in Fusion and Other M are a clone that was killed by a Metroid Queen and resurrected by an X Parasite. However, considering he's Samus's greatest nemesis and one of the iconic villains of the series, it's a sure thing that Ridley or a clone of him will continue to pop up.

So from that, would it mean he needs a title change or not? His profile could defintely be updated as well.

[up] I have a feeling that Ridley will return from the dead in the next Metroid game(s). Regardless, I'd like to rework Ridley, I just need to find a proper title for him. I probably won't begin work on him until I am done with Silencer, Night Terrors and Mordremoth though.

[down] Well, it is not taken and it fits Ridley like a glove. If the glove was shaped like a dragon's claw.

I will take it.

Well, Ridley is one of the few Characters outside of Samus and maybe Mother Brain that seems to always return in some Shape or Form....

How about giving him Recurring Boss then?

@R-lock: Bloo tried to be Marley in the Christmas special. Instead, he was Bob Marley.

Metagross can't be both a Mighty Glacier and a Lightning Bruiser (unless you're differentiating between base and Mega) because the Tropes are mutally exclusive. Please rewrite the trope portfolio part to clarify this.

After that's fixed, I'll give it a [tup]

[up]From it's entry page:

  • Mighty Glacier: Metagross has very good Attack, and its second best stat is its Defense, which is equivalent to Garchomp's attack, so it can easily take a hit. Its lowest stat is Speed, which isn't actually bad but not high enough to make it a Lightning Bruiser.

It's a Mighty Glacier, but has the one of highest Speed stats of most Mighty Glaciers in Pokémon, with a 70. Mega Metagross however, is a straight-up Lightning Bruiser, with a 110 Base Speed.

[up] But Metagross aren't fat. They are just big creatures. And what are they supposed to be anyway? Contructs?

BTW, i will try to find candidates for the Dream House, brb

[up]x3 The tropes are mutually exclusive by their definitions (MG is strong and sturdy but lacks speed, LB is strong and sturdy with speed), and I've taken the liberty of rewriting that particular entry due to it not being written very well.

btw Base 70 is pretty mediocre.

[up][up]It's never stated if Metagross are man-made or natural.

[up]Mkay then

So reposting these two:

Renekton, God of Torture-induced Madness (the Butcher of the Sands, the Eater of Souls, Renekhton, Wrekton, Rekton)

White Metagross, God of Spider Tanks (The Iron Leg Pokémon, Anus Destroyer, Masher of Dreams, Sweeper of Teams)

Mega Metagross

Ok there aren't many entries to justify a Dream House. However, i could maybe create a house composed of all the tropes featured in Dream Tropes and Sleep and Wakefulness Tropes.

What do you guys think?

[up] Don't you have enough [tup] for metagross? Did i give one? If not [tup] (For Metagross, i did give one to Renekton)

Metagross is definitely a construct, but its origins are unknown.

[up] Acrofatic's already been taken.

Well, speaking of Seinfeld, I'm thinking of using that trope on the cast for Common Sitcom Traits.

Anyways, here is the final draft.

Kim Possible, Goddess of Saving the World While Going Go School (KP, Kimmy)

  • Theme Song: Call Me, Beep Me
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: The Kimmunicator
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Academic Athlete, Action Girl, Get called KP by Ron, LOVES Baring her Midriff in almost every outfit she wears, Buffy Speak, Maybe a cheerleader, but doesn't have the negative traits, Go-Getter Girl, Extracurricular Enthusiast, Fiery Redhead, Genre Savvy, Grappling-Hook Gun, Green Eyes, IKnowMaddenKombatSheFu, Naïve Everygirl, Part-Time Hero, Red-Headed Heroine, Tomboywitha Girly Streak
  • Domain: Heroism, Fist, Chaos, Good, Cheerleading
  • Heralds: Ron Stoppable and Rufus
  • Followers: K.C Cooper, Alex, Clover and Sam
  • Allies: Buffy Summers, Sabrina Spellman, Spider-Man, Otacon, James Bond, [[Pantheon/Siblings Dipper and Mavel]], Phineas Flynn
  • Enemies: Dr. Drakken, The Baroness, Destro, Jack Spicer, Mystique, Katarina
  • Rivals: Libby Chessler
  • Just as broken clocks are capable of telling the time twice a day, Drakken actually managed to devise a plan that nearly worked. Buying out a taco chain, he dished out thousands of toys to various Houses, little did they know that they could transform into giant killer robots. It was the intervention of a red-headed heroine that managed to destroy the control tower that deactivated the machines.
  • It was then that the gods decided to hand her The Cheerleader title... only to be challenged by Juliet Starling. The gods decided to put the two to the test to see which one had the acrobatics to deserve the title. Just as as winner was about to announce, one particular cheerleader denounced the contest; Libby declared neither of them fit the title because they do not match common cheerleader traits of shallow ruthless AlphaBitches that Really Get Around. The Court of the Gods agreed with the ruling, but compensated by giving the two other titles. Juliet would get the Teenaged Speak title.
  • When she was denied the cheerleader spot, she was met with a surprising ally. Although wary of cheerleaders in general, Sabrina would have preferred her to whatever Libby and her posse would choose for the title. Afterwards, she Sabrina and Juliet egged Libby's temple in a fit of revenge.
  • As one of her inspirations, she holds Buffy to high regard. The two teenager gods may have different professions, but the similarities cannot be denied. Expect these two to work together whenever super villains are using vampires to take over the world.
  • As someone who had to deal with school as well as crime-fighting when he was younger, Spider-Man has tasked himself with helping Kim deal with stress. He has had far less luck with Ron, who has a debilitating fear of bugs. A shame, as many gods thought the two would have been great friends.
  • Many evil gods made the mistake that a teenaged girl would be no problem to crush. Jack Spicer thought his army of Jackbots would be enough. The light lasted 2 minutes.
  • There are many other villainous gods that are competing with Drakken for Kim's hate list. Among them is the Baroness and Destro, as the couple have proven to be a tougher nut to crack than she previously anticipated.
  • There was one time where Ron was much more competent in fighting crime than usual. When Kim confronted him on this, he attacked her. At first she thought he had turned evil again, but as the fight continued on, 'Ron' revealed himself to be the shapeshifter Mystique. When the assassin found out she couldn't defeat Kim that easily, she backed away. Kim's now employing countermeasures against future breaches.
  • However, no villain has pestered her more than Katarina, Goddess of Dark Action Girls. It's to a point that Kim can expect an ambush from the Sinister Blade whenever she's in a mission. Thankfully, she's been able to fend her off with a few close shaves. She suspects that Katarina is doing this for her mortal enemy Shego. It may only be a matter of time before Kat figures out a way to ascend her.
  • While her source of intel Wade has been reliable, she had to get a new one in the Pantheon. That role went squarely on Otacon. He fits the role perfectly to the point that he and Ron constantly discuss anime. Kim merely shakes his head at their antics.
  • Was quickly greeted by the God of Spies himself. It takes a lot to impressive James Bond, but saving the world multiple times when only a teenager can sure do the trick. Thankfully, he's refrained from putting the moves on her, respecting her relationship with Ron. That doesn't stop the sidekick from feeling jealous whenever he's around.
  • Was greeted along with her fellow original Disney cartoon gods as a well-deserved addition. Their numbers have been small compared to the Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network deities. They hope to remedy that problem soon enough with future ascensions.
->"What's the stitch!"

Austin Powers, God of Post-Mortem One-Liners

  • Theme: “Soul Bossa Nova”
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: A bottle of his mojo
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Action Hero, British Teeth, Carpetof Virility, The Casanova, Hurricaneof Puns, Sex God, Extracurricular Enthusiast, Fiery Redhead, Chainsaw Good, Bunny-Ears Spy, Parody Sue of the Spy genre, Butt-Monkey
  • Domain: Charm, Good, Defense
  • Followers: The Midnighter, Garak, Chuck Greene
  • Allies: Jiraiya, Mad Moxxi, Panty Anarchy, Solid Snake, Captain Falcon, Yang Xiao Long
  • Enemies: Dr. Evil, James Bond Bellatrix Lestrange, Cobra Commander, General Tarquin
  • Rivals: Charlie Harper, Johnny and Kagura
  • Special Relationship: Dr. Evil
  • One of the few spies that didn't follow James Bond, Austin Powers struck it out on his own for a time. It was his constant use of the Bond One-Liner that forced the gods to give him the title. Bond may be the originator, but no one else could use it in the same frequency.
  • Now serves as a spy for the GUAG. Unforunately, few gods have been able to tolerate his one-liners upon the death of an enemy. He's been known to quote as many as 7 for one man. Though some believe it can be used as psychological warfare against the GUAE.
  • One of the few gods that can handle his puns has been Yang. In fact, she hopes to one-up on him by dishing out puns of her own. Expect the quips to fly whenever the two are together. Some say the two are planning to ascend a true Pungeon Master into the fray.
  • The reason he's not a follower of the God of Secret agents? Bond secretly despises him for parodying his adventures to the point that no one takes the classic take on him seriously anymore. It took a new film with a different avatar to shake off the dissent among his followers.
    • Unfortunately the situation was brought back to him: When his old foe Blofeld was stirring up trouble in his latest film, his nemesis revealed a terrible secret: the two were actually foster brothers, with him killing Bond's parents. Now that would have been a devastating reveal... if Austin hadn't had the same reveal with Dr. Evil 13 years ago.
  • His ascension has put him at a confusing situation with Dr. Evil. Although the two resumed with the usual antics with each other, it's not with the same intensity. It has been revealed that the two enemies were foster brothers, separated when their were toddlers. Although there is one timeline where the two make amends, it doesn't appear to be the case with the two in the Pantheon.
    • There was one time when Dr. Evil teamed up with Cobra. Surprisingly, the duo were far more successful in capturing Austin. The Commander insisted in finishing him off, but Dr. Evil decided to put him in a trap instead. This tactic had predictable results. The two have broken up ever since.
  • His Chick Magnet capabilities is legendary, and thus he's a huge draw in the House of Lust. It's no doubt that he's made rivals out of the various male gods in the pantheon.
    • The lone exception appears to be Jiraiya. He may be a pervert, but he only seeks out smut, but ask women out. Thus, the two often talk about their exploits.
    • Is also big favorite of Panty Anarchy for obvious reasons, though she does give him flack for serving under authority.
  • Some people can see through his silly nature to reveal an agent that's pretty damn good at his job. Snake has received some criticism himself for some of the sillier antics he went through. It's no surprise that the two became closer partners.
  • A deity that ascended sorely on his memetic and outlandish antics, Captain Falcon encourages the spy to continue what he does.
  • Most female villains scoffed at the idea that he can make any of them fall in love. It's only that the two meet face to face that they figure it out, and by then it's often too late. Not even robot women are immune to his antics. Tarquin made a new section on his book to help alleviate the problem.
    • The only goddess that seems to be immune to his charms is Bellatrix Lestrange. The reasons? One: She hates all muggles equally, especially ones who think they are equal to wizards. And two: the only being she's ever loved will always be Lord Voldemort. His attempts at seduction backfire hard, barely escaping with his life.
  • Was disappointed when he couldn't find any Japanese twins that fit the bill upon reaching the House of Family. Time will tell if he can achieve that last part of his bucket list.
  • Although he was considered for a minute, Austin was deemed to flamboyant to be considered for the God of British Accents. However, he has offered his help in finding a more suitable candidate.
->"Yeah baby!"

Juliet Starling, Goddess of Teenager Talk

  • Theme Song: Lollipop
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: Her chainsaw
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Adorkable, Action Girl, A Love to Dismember to Nick, Bare Your Midriff, Chainsaw Good, Bunny-Ears Spy, Blood Knight, Cloud Cuckoolander, The Ditz, Manic Pixie Dream Girl, She-Fu, The Pollyanna, Stripperific
  • Domain: Zombie Killing, Combat, Chaos, Good
  • Followers: The teens at Caprica, The Blackadders, Jack Carter
  • Allies: Sabrina Spellman, Saeko Busujima, Buffy Summers, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield and Leon Scott Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Bubbles, Raven, Ben Tennyson, Twlight Sparkle, [[Pantheon/Romance Betty Cooper]], Charlotte LaBouffe
  • Enemies: Libby Chessler, Albert Wesker
  • Rivals: Jack Cayman
  • Opposes: All zombie deities
  • Conflicting Opinion: Sylvanas Windrunner
  • Odd Friendship: Magik
  • Initially a teacher in the now defunct Academy, Juliet hoped to gain the cheerleader title from Buffy. The gods decided to put the two to the test to see which one had the acrobatics to deserve the title. Just as as winner was about to announce, one particular cheerleader denounced the contest; Libby declared neither of them fit the title because they do not match common cheerleader traits of shallow ruthless AlphaBitches that Really Get Around. The Court of the Gods agreed with the ruling, but compensated by giving the two other titles. Kim would get the Saving the World while going to School title.
    • Appreciated Saeko for giving her the high priest rank for Orgasmic Combat. Both share a Blood Knight personality when it comes to mowing down zombies.
  • She was also considered as the God of Chainsaws, but Jack Cayman proved to be much more worthy of the title. She doesn't mind, but isn't afraid to throw down with him whenever he offers a challenge.
    • The title was suggested by her inspiration Buffy Summers. Although she have taken the title herself, she decided that Juliet would be the perfect candidate for the job. It helps that Juliet has some experience with the supernatural.
  • When she was denied the cheerleader spot, she was met with a surprising ally. Although wary of cheerleaders in general, Sabrina would have preferred her to whatever Libby and her posse would choose for the title. Afterwards, she Sabrina and Kim egged Libby's temple in a fit of revenge.
  • Her ascension caused some of her fellow zombie hunters to scratch their heads. The survival horror trio of Chris Leon and Claire were initially skeptical with her skills. That changed immediately once she showed them what she's capable of.
    • She became especially sympathetic with Jill Valentine after she found out that she was brainwashed for a time. That quickly turned to scorn at Wesker, the man responsible for it all.
  • Many in the House of Love were inspired with her relationship with her boyfriend Nick. Any couple that can survive when one is left with a head has to have a strong bond between the two. Nick himself was more ambivalent, wishing his girlfriend would listen to him more. It's a request Juliet is attempting to follow.
  • Once went into the House of the Undead, with varying results...
    • Her first target was Nagash the Undying, god of the Undead. Unfortunately, his necromancy as well as endless amounts of undead quickly overwhelmed her. From then on out she approached more cautionly.
    • She decided that less powerful gods would be easier to slay. The other Undying God was inflicted with heavy losses as his army was mowed down. The bout between the two ended in a stalemate.
    • She was finally stopped by a the Goddess of Revenants. After subduing her, Sylvanas Windrunner decided to let her go, warning her against going back into the House on a suicide mission. The cheerleader has been unsure on the archer's alignment to this day, but she promises not to attack her immediately on site.
  • Having the same voice of Tara Strong. Juliet forged several unusual relationships with several like-minded deities:
    • Despite her darker tendencies, Juliet managed to form an alliance with the demon Magik. She sees enough potential in the Corrupted one in overcoming her troubled past.
    • It hard not to see Juliet having a strong bond with the kid superhero Bubbles. One could say that the Power Puff Girl is a much younger version of the cheerleader. It got especially grating for Buttercup.
    • Raven has been doing her best to avoid the girl, not just due to the similarities. Juliet contains strong enough emotions to make her sick to her stomach after prolong exposure. That doesn't mean she's not willing to occasionally help her out.
    • Ben just can't help but feel uncomfortable around her. Besides her skimpy outfit, the fact that he has the same voice as a girl confuses him to no end, much to Gwen's amusement.
    • Was once surprised by Pinkie Pie, who though she had heard Twilight Sparkle. Turns out the two share the same actress as well, and the two quickly became friends as a result.
  • It was surprising for Betty to find a cheerleader that isn't a stuck-up Alpha Bitch. Thus, she eased herself to a steady friendship with the preppy blonde. This has not gone unnoticed with Veronica, who has grown distraught over the concept.
  • When Juliet met up with Charlotte, the squees could be heard throughout the House of Commerce. It's not to say how the two wouldn't be best friends due to being Spoiled Sweet. Charlotte promises to fund the cheerleader's campaigns as well as that of the other zombie-killing deities.
